Chapter 2
Kai's point of view
After I got Emma we went home and did our school work. I kept thinking of Embry though so I didn't focus.
"What's his name?" Emma asks.
"Hm?" I ask.
"What's the guys name?" she asks.
"Who's name?' I ask.
"The guy you like and are daydreaming about," she says and I blush. I know there's no way to stop her now so I tell her about Embry and seeing Emily and Sam again.
"Well I think you should ask him out," she says.
"Why?" I ask.
"You haven't been out on a date in forever!" she says.
"It hasn't been that long," I say. I had a boyfriend in Colorado but he cheated on me so I broke up with him, that was almost a year ago.
"Well it seems like forever," she says.
"He could be a jerk for all I know, he hangs out with Sam and Emily," I say.
"Well you won't know unless you go out with him," she says and I sigh. The house phone rings and I pick it up.
"Hello Clearwater house hold," I say.
"KAI!" aunt Sue yells.
"Aunt Sue, what's wrong?' I ask hearing the panic in her voice. She starts talking all at once and I don't understand her.
"Slower please," I say.
"Your uncle Harry had a heart attack!" she says and I drop the phone. It hits the floor and I gasp. NO!
"Kai, what happened?" Emma asks. I shake my head and pick the phone up.
"We'll meet you at the hospital in a minute!" I say and hang up.
"What's wrong?" Emma asks worried.
"Uncle Harry had a heart attack," I say and she gasps. I grab my bag and we hurry into my car speeding to the hospital.
When we reach the hospital we park and hurry into the hospital. We ask for my uncle and they tell us the way. We run down the hallways and finally see aunt Sue and Emily crying.
"Auntie!" I say and her head shoots up.
"Girls," she says and we run into her open arms.
"Is he okay?" Emma asks crying.
"I'm sure he's fine," auntie says. I feel the salty tears run down my face and look to Emily. Even though she's not on my friend list we're family and she's hurting too. I hug her and she slowly hugs back.
We stand there crying for I don't know how long but then dad, Charlie, Embry, Sam, Seth, and Billy show up.
"Daddy!" Emma says and runs into his arms. I can see that he's been crying too, everyone has. Seth goes to his mom and Sam goes to Emily. I look to Embry and he looks pained when he sees my face. I walk over to him and I can see light tears on his own face.
"You okay?" he asks.
"Fine," I croak. He looks at me and I shake my head no. I wrap my arms around him and he holds me tight soothing me. I just met him hours ago but I feel so safe with him and I don't want to ever leave him. Just being with him feels so right and meant to be.
"Where's Leah?" I ask through tears to Embry.
"She's not coping so well," he says and I nod my head.
"Mrs. Clearwater?" a doctor says coming out of uncle Harry's room.
"Yes doctor, is he okay?" aunt Sue asks.
"I'm afraid not," he says and she nods her head but then starts sobbing. Seth holds his mom in his arms and everyone starts crying more. The doctor leaves us and goes into another room. I cry harder into Embry's chest and he holds me tight rubbing my back. Emma is crying into dad's chest and dad is crying into her hair. Emily is crying into Sam's chest and Sam is shedding a few tears while he holds Emily tight. Billy and Charlie stand near Sue and shed a few tears too. Why did this have to happen? Uncle Harry didn't deserve to die, he was a great man. I'm going to miss him so much!
