I would also like to let you know that 'Goodbye Houston Hello La Push' is coming to an end soon(when i say soon i mean in like five chapter or so), but i would like to tell you that i plan on doing a sequel, i just have no idea what to call it. Well here is the next chapter and i hope you like it.
Fast Forward to graduation! Wahoo! Carrie's POV
Yeah, today's is graduation! I am so happy I'm finally done with high school. I plan on taking a break off of school for a year and then I'm going to go to La Push community college. I plan on majoring in mechanics and minor in literature. I want to open my own dirt bike/four wheeler store in Port Angeles.
The one thing I'm not so thrilled about is that I Emily is making me wear a dress for graduation. I mean yeah I wore one for Kim's wedding, but that's a wedding! I honestly just want to wear a pair of jeans, a baggy shirt and my converse.
Oh, but I am going to need a dress in the near future. There is another wedding in the pack.
Guess whose….Embry and Zoey! I was so happy when she told me she was getting married to Embry. All I can say is Embry is so lucky Zoey's dad knows about the whole imprinting thing. Yeah apparently Quil's dad and Zoey's dad know about the whole wolf thing and all that other good stuff. Though I think if it weren't for the fact Embry imprinted on Zoey I think her dad would have flipped out big time since Zoey is still under twenty.
I looked at my robes and the dress that was on my bed. I wonder…I put the robes on over my pajamas and saw the robes went to my feet. I could probably hide another outfit underneath this….oh well if Emily and Zoey find out I can just hide behind Paul if they try to kill me.
I smiled as I went on the stage to receive my diploma. After the guy said my name you could tell where the pack was. Some of the teachers up there covered their ears with the cheering from the pack. As soon as the ceremony was over Emily dragged me away from the crowd of people. The pack was following her as she dragged me.
"Stand here and take off the robe. I want to get a picture of you", said Emily as she pulled out a camera.
"That's going to be a problem since the zipper is in the back", I said hoping she wouldn't push it.
"I'll get it", said Zoey as she went to get the zipper.
I let out a sigh as I heard the zipper go down. I had a pretty good idea on how Zoey was going to react. The guys were quiet and were looking behind me a little scared.
"Um why does Zoey look like she's going to kill someone?" asked Seth. Yep I was right, she was mad.
"Carrie Anne Walker you better have a good reason for what I'm seeing", said Zoey obviously mad.
I let out another sigh and took the robes off. Some of the guys laughed when they saw what I was wearing. Kim and Emily just shook their heads. Instead of the blue dress they wanted me to wear I was wearing a pair of jeans, a Flyleaf shirt, and my black converse.
"Why aren't you wearing the dress?" asked Zoey.
"Cause I didn't want to", I said looking at my nails.
I wasn't really expecting her to do what she did next. Instead of looking at my nails I was now face first in the grass. I picked myself up and glared at her.
"Why did you do that?" I asked as I stood up.
"Why didn't you wear the dress", said Zoey.
"Cause I didn't want to", I said.
Zoey and I were in a glaring contest for a while before we heard a voice we were not expecting.
"God I haven't been here for a day and I see you two already want to kill each other. Can't you two get along for one day without glaring at each other?" said Jason.
"Jason!" shouted me and Zoey as we ran and tackled him in a hug.
"What are you doing here?" asked Zoey as we separated.
"Did you really think I was going to miss your wedding? Come on Z, don't you know me better than that", said Jason.
"True, but I didn't think you'd come here so soon", said Zoey.
"Well there are other reasons I wanted to come", said Jason giving Zoey a weird look.
I looked between the two confused. They were planning something and I don't think I was going to like it.
"Care to share what you guys are talking about", I said a little peeved I was out of the loop.
"Nope", they said at the same time.
"Hey you need to show me around La Push", said Jason as he began to drag me away from everyone.
"Wait, why do I have to?" I whined as I tried to stop him.
"Cause I said so and I just like to annoy you", said Jason with a smirk on his face.
"Ugh, fine. See you guys later", I said as I walked away willingly with Jason. I did notice that as I was leaving everyone had an odd look on their faces. Did they know what Jason and Zoey were planning?
Okay after showing Jason around the place, and trying not to get into trouble, I was able to get back to Sam's place. Jason was in the car with me and kept talking about how things were going at the clothing design school he was going to. He wanted me to be the model for some of his stuff, but I declined as soon as he said it was neon pink.
When I pulled into the driveway Jason stopped talking and a huge grin formed on his face. I looked at him a little confused. What was he so happy about? I got to the door and opened it.
"What are you smiling about?" I asked as I went in the house.
Jason never got a chance to answer my question because everyone came out of nowhere and shouted 'Surprise!'
I jumped and I literally felt that I was going to have a heart attack. Why the crap did they do that? I guess my confusion showed because Zoey came up to me laughing.
"You really did forget?" said Zoey trying to control her laughter.
"Forget what?" I asked. Is there something I forgot?
"You knew she was going to forget. She was to busy freaking out about exams to remember this very special day", said Jason.
"Will someone please tell me what you two are talking about?" I said starting to lose my patience.
"Happy birthday Carrie", said Emily and Kim.
I looked at them in shock. Did I really forget that today was my birthday?
"I can't believe that I forgot", I muttered.
"Well luckily for you, I didn't", said Zoey.
Zoey then dragged me to the kitchen and everyone followed her and me. I was surprised to see a huge chocolate cake and some presents on the table.
"Do you think you got a big enough cake", I said sarcastically.
"Well incase you forgot the guys could probably eat the whole thing by themselves", said Kim walking up to me.
"Well hurry up and sing 'Happy Birthday' we want some cake", said Collin and Brady. I just laughed with how they were acting.
Okay the stuff everyone gave me was pretty cool. Okay well here is the list:
Sam and Emily gave me a book on mechanics (Emily must have seen me looking at it in the bookstore)
Jared and Kim gave me a new book of A Midsummer Nights Dream (I ended up ruining my old version by bending the cover so the binding fell apart)
Embry and Quil got me a 'Paramore' shirt and the new Cd 'Brand New Eyes'.
Zoey and Jason got me…well I tell you later what they got me. Let's just say I took one look in the bag and I decided the guys did not need to see that.
Seth, Collin, and Brady got me socks for some weird reason so I decided to throw them at them.
I loved Paul's gift the most. He got me a necklace that has a small silver wolf pendant. I thought it was so sweet. I put it on as soon as I saw it.
Well everyone is basically just hanging around and talking. Some of the guys were playing 'Rock Band'. Some of them tried to sing, all I can say is that they should never quit their day jobs. I heard the doorbell ring while I was talking with Zoey.
"I'll get it", I said as I stood up.
"No you're the birthday girl you don't have to", said Zoey.
"Zoey, I'm already up so I might as well", I said as I headed to the door.
When I got to the door and opened it I was really beginning to wish I listened to Zoey and let her get the door. The last person I ever wanted to see was standing right in front of me. When I saw him I felt my temper rising.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked as I went outside and slammed the door shut.
Zoey's POV
I turned at the door surprised when the door was slammed shut. Carrie wasn't inside so she was outside. I wonder who it is. I walked over to the window to look outside and my mouth dropped when I saw who was with Carrie.
Carrie was basically yelling at her dad. What was he doing here? Last I checked he didn't want to deal with Carrie anymore.
"What is he doing here?" I muttered.
"Who's he?" asked Jason as he looked out the window too. His mouth dropped once he saw who it was.
"Someone needs to stop her before she kills him", said Jason. Even though I wouldn't mind watching that bastard die, I don't need Carrie going to jail.
"Wait who is Carrie going to kill?" asked Embry coming over by us. He looked out the window and had a confused look on his face.
"Who's that?" he asked.
I ignored him and looked at Sam. "Sam you need to stop Carrie from killing your dad", I said. Once I said that it went dead quiet in the room. When everyone got over their shock they all went over to the window.
Carrie and her dad were now both saying stuff to each other. I couldn't hear a word they were saying, but I'm sure the pack was able to hear it loud and clear. For the first time in their argument, Carrie was quiet and listened to her dad, though when he said something her mouth dropped and so did everyone's in the pack. Carrie then turned to the window and boy did she look mad.
"Sam, get out here now, hell Embry you too, then we can have a nice family reunion!" shouted Carrie glaring at her dad towards the end.
My mouth dropped. Was she saying her dad was not only her dad, Sam's dad, but also Embry's dad? I knew Embry didn't know who his father was and it was either Jake's dad, Quil's dad, or Sam's dad. Well when Embry imprinted on me that crossed out Quil's dad as being his father. I also knew that the pack was hoping it was Sam's dad, since he really isn't much of a father figure. Well I guess this ends some tension in the pack.
Carrie turned back to her dad.
"Can you really not keep it in your pants dad?! Seriously how many kids do you have? I mean how many siblings do I have that you haven't told me about? You are such a man-whore, you have no-"SLAP
Carrie was cut off when he dad slapped her across the face. I almost felt sorry for him. He has no idea he just signed his own death sentence.
It all happened so fast I almost missed it. Jared and Quil had tackled Paul to the ground when he tried to go outside. The look on Paul's face was murderous.
"Paul calm down", said Jared as he struggled to keep Paul to the ground.
"He hit her", snarled Paul.
"Hey where's Sam and Embry?" asked Kim. I looked around confused, where did they go?
"Wow, when did they get outside", said Jason looking out the window. Everyone, but Paul, Quil and Jared, went back to the window. When did Sam and Embry get outside?
Embry was standing in front of Carrie while Sam was talking with his dad. I couldn't hear anything and I kind of wish Embry was inside so he could tell me what they are saying. Carrie made a comment that seemed to make her dad mad. He then said something that shocked Carrie, Embry and Sam. The pack also looked shocked and the look on Paul's face really looked like he wanted to kill Carrie's dad. A pained look then came across Carrie's face and she tried to get to her dad, but Embry stopped her. Sam then did something that surprised everyone. He punched his dad right in the face.
"GET OUT OF HERE NOW", yelled Sam. Anyone could tell he was trying not to phase, well except for Jason. Whatever their dad said must have been bad. Their dad took a few steps back before getting into his car and drove away. Sam stood there shaking and Embry finally let go of Carrie. When Embry let her go, she ran into the house.
"Hey Carrie, are you okay?" asked Emily as she went over to her.
"Leave me alone!" she shouted before running to her room and slamming the door shut.
"Emily, I think you need to talk to Sam", said Embry as he came in. Emily nodded before going outside, to probably calm Sam down. I pulled Embry off to the side so I could talk with him.
"Embry what did he say?" I asked. Embry looked away, like he was uncomfortable answering.
"Embry please, she's my friend and I want to know what he said", I asked again. Embry let out a sigh before answering.
"He called her a troublesome brat and that maybe it was a good thing that her mom died so she wouldn't have to deal with her anymore", said Embry.
"He didn't", I said shocked. Why in the world would he say that?
"Yeah", said Embry.
"I'm going to go and talk to her", I said heading to her room.
Carrie's POV
I can't believe him! How could he say that?! He doesn't even know me so he had no right to say any of that! After I ran into my room I sat on my bed rocking back and forth trying to calm down. I didn't want to cry and let my dad get to me.
I heard the door open, but I didn't look up to see who it was. I felt someone sit next to me, but I still refused to acknowledge them.
"Carrie do you want to talk", said Zoey slowly. I shook my head.
"Are you sure, you know you can talk if you want to", said Zoey. I just nodded. I didn't trust my voice to break if I talked. Right now I really wanted to cry, but I knew Zoey wouldn't let me cry without talking about it afterwards. Zoey seemed to sense why I didn't want to talk and got up. She got to my door before turning around.
"Do you want me to get Paul?" she asked. I nodded my head slowly. Zoey then left my room. Almost as soon as she left Paul came into my room. He came over and immediately pulled me into his chest. When he did that I finally let the tears fall.
"Shh, it's okay", said Paul as he rubbed my back.
"I-I hate him", I said in between sobs.
"Trust me, we all do", said Paul. For awhile I just sat there and cried while Paul rubbed my back trying to get me to calm down. When I was done crying we just sat there.
"How are you feeling?" asked Paul.
"I've been better, but I'm good", I said.
"I want to kill him", muttered Paul. I looked at him confused.
"I want to kill him for hitting you", said Paul.
"Don't worry, Sam got in a punch", I said resting my head on his chest.
"I know, I just wish I had too", said Paul. I laughed slightly. I then remembered a very new and important detail.
"Oh my God", I said my mouth dropping slightly.
"What's wrong?" asked Paul. I ignored him and ran out of my room. I went to the living room and saw that everyone was still here. When I entered the room everyone went quiet.
"Carrie, are you okay?" asked Kim walking over to me.
"Yep, where's Zoey?" I asked excited. I wonder if the others figured it out yet.
"I'm here, what's up?" asked Zoey walking over to me.
"Guess what I just remembered, well figured out", I said jumping up and down.
"Um, what?" asked Zoey, looking at me confused.
"Well since Embry's my half-brother and you two are getting married that's going to make you my sister-in-law", I said excited.
"I guess that does", said Zoey smiling. I stood there smiling back. Now I can't wait for Zoey's and Embry's wedding to come around.
Well what did you think. The next chapter is going to be Zoey's and Embry's wedding. I plan on writing a lot more about this wedding than Kim's so it may take me longer to update. Well please review!
