Chapter 3
Kai's point of view
After a few hours at the hospital we left for home. Dad stayed the night at aunt Sue's though to make sure she was okay. Emma slept with me and we cried ourselves to sleep that night. The next three days were hard and dad allowed us to stay home from school. Seth came over everyday because he couldn't stand to be in his house. It's Saturday and I'm making lunch for Emma, Seth and I. Seth refuses to eat but I can hear his stomach growl and I don't want him to starve. I haven't seen Leah at all but Seth says she's just taking the death really hard and doesn't want to see anyone. Dad is with aunt Sue planning the funeral with Billy and Charlie. I hear the doorbell and go to the door. I open it and hear gasps. I see Mike, Jessica, Angela, and Eric.
"KAI!" Angela says and hugs me tight.
"Hi," I say hugging back.
"You look like death," Jessica says and I glare at her.
"What are you guys doing here?" I ask.
"I came to check on you because I got worried and Jessica came to apologize," Angela says.
"Ya I'm sorry for spreading all those rumors," Jessica says.
"It's fine but just don't spread anymore," I say sternly and she nods her head.
"Kai who's here?" Seth asks coming to the door. If I look like death Seth looks like a ghost. He looks deathly pale and his eyes are droopy and sleepy. He looks really bad.
"Just some of my friends, go eat some food," I say.
"No," he mumbles and goes back into the living room. I sigh and look back to my friends.
"Who was that?" Jessica asks.
"My cousin," I say.
"Does he always look like that?" she asks.
"No," I say and she smiles.
"Anything else, I have food to cook?" I ask.
"Here's the schoolwork you missed," Angela says and hands me a stack of papers.
"Thanks," I say and place the papers on the table next to the door.
"If you don't mind me asking what happened?" Mike asks and I can feel the tears start-up.
"Didn't Bella tell you?" I ask.
"Bella left town." Eric says.
"Oh, well my uncle passed away," I say and Angela frowns.
"Oh Kai I'm so sorry!" she says and hugs me again.
"Sorry for asking, we'll leave you then, see you on Monday," Mike says and he, Jessica and Eric leave.
"Are you okay?" Angela asks.
"Ya I'll be alright, I'm more concerned for my little sister, cousins, father and aunt," I say.
"I'm sure everything will be alright, just call me if you need anything," she says and I nod.
"Thanks Angela," I say.
"No problem, I'll see you later," she says and leaves. I shut the door and go back into the kitchen. I finish making lunch and give a plate to my sister and cousin.
"No thank you," Emma says.
"Emma eat it or I'll shove it down your throat!" I say and she groans taking the plate. I turn to Seth and he shakes his head.
"I'll do the say to you too Seth," I say and he shakes his head.
"Seth I'll call your mom, I'm sure she'll be happy you're not eating properly," I say and he groans taking the plate. I sit down and eat too wishing things were like they were four days ago. When we were all happy and uncle Harry was alive.
An hour later there was another knock at the door. Seth and Emma didn't move so I got it again. When I open the door I'm surprised to see Embry standing there, shirtless. This made me blush and I have to pry my eyes away from his chest.
"Hi," I say weakly.
"Hey, I was just coming to see if you're doing aright," he says.
"Oh ya, I'm doing okay but it's taking a toll on the rest of the family," I say frowning.
"I know, I saw your dad, and Sue today, they looked bad," he says.
"Seth's worse, he looks like a ghost," I say.
"I came to see him too, he needs to come with me," he says.
"I don't think he'll even move a muscle," I say and let him inside.
"Well he needs to come with me, Sam wants to see him," he says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Seth works with Sam now," he says.
"What kind of work?" I ask.
"We're security for La Push," he says.
"What about the police?" I ask.
"Well we're just reinforcement," he says.
"Oh," I say and lead him into the living room.
"Seth, Embry's here to see you," I say and he doesn't move.
"Embry tell Sam I'll come by later," Seth mutters.
"Sam needs you now, that girl has been around a lot lately," Embry says and Seth turns to him.
"Is it serious?" Seth asks.
"Yes, we need everyone," Embry says and Seth groans.
"Fine, is Leah there?" Seth asks.
"Ya," Embry says.
"Where, where's Leah, I really need to see her?" I ask.
"She's busy, I'll tell her you want to see her, and she'll come later," Embry says and I nod.
"How is she doing?" I ask.
"She's taking it really hard," he says and I frown.
"Well when you guys get done with work tell her to come over please, Seth you come back also," I say and Seth nods.
"I'll tell her," Embry says.
"You can come over too if you want Embry," I say. I hope he does, with him here I feel better and happier.
"Sure, I'll come," he says smiling at me.
"Lets go Em," Seth says and gets up. He and Embry leave through the back door and head to the forest.
"Wait it's not safe out there!" I yell at them making them stop.
"Don't worry Kai, we'll be fine," Embry says and they leave. I hope you're right.
