Chapter 32
Kai's point of view
Today's the day I leave La Push for Alabama. Dad, Emma, and aunt Sue are with me at the airport. We stopped in Forks once more so I could say bye to my cousins once more. Now we're at the airport and it's time to say goodbye. I turn to my aunt who has tears streaming down her face. She hugs me tightly and I hug back just as tight.
"I'll miss you sweetheart." she says.
"I'll miss you too aunty." I say as tears fall down my face.
"You're going to learn so much and have such an experience." she says looking into my eyes. "Have some fun and make friends." she says and I nod.
"I will." I say and hug her again. She kisses my head and then moves so I can say bye to Emma. She's already crying and I cry harder seeing her like this. She hugs me tighter than aunty and nearly suffocates me.
"I'm going to miss you so much." she cries.
"I'm going to miss you too Emmy." I say.
"Call everyday and video chat me once a week." she says and I nod. "Don't forget me." she whispers and I pull way to look into her eyes.
"I could and will never forget you Emma. There are so many memories I've had with you that I could never forget. You've been there for me through a lot and I can't thank you enough for that." I say.
"You've helped me through things too and I want to thank you Kai." she says and hugs me again. We stand there for a minute in each others arms showing each other how much we love each other. She lets go and I kiss her head. Then it's time for dad. He's trying not to cry and I can see the tears glistening in his eyes. He hugs me and I hug back as he tightens his grip. We don't talk but do through the hug.
"I'll miss you baby girl." he kisses my head. "Have a good time and call me when you land and get to the university." he says and I nod. "Please be safe but have fun." he says and I nod again. "Come back as soon as you can." he says.
"I will daddy." I say and he kisses my head again.
"I love you." he says and I feel his tears hit my shoulder.
"I love you too daddy." I say. The speakers announce that I need to get going so I let go of dad and say goodbye to everyone once more before heading to security. I look once more at my family and blow them a kiss. I get through security and then to the correct terminal. The plane just started boarding so I get in line. When I get in my seat I take a deep breath and calm my nerves. When the plane lands I'll be staring the beginning of a new start. Everything will be fine. My finger messes with the ring still on my right ring finger, my promise ring. I sigh looking at it. I haven't taken it off yet because I just can't. I haven't seen Embry since he left to kill Bella. I left Jake a note to give to Embry. In the note I told him that I was leaving and even though we fought I asked if maybe we could be friends when I come back. At the end I signed it 'love Kai'. I sigh as tears threaten to fall. I quickly wipe them away and focus on college. That's what I need to be thinking of, not Embry. From now on I won't think about Embry at all, well try not to. I need to be thinking of college that's why I'm leaving. When I get in Alabama I'm going to forget boys and focus on my college education. I look out the window as the plane starts up. Goodbye La Push.
Embry's point of view
I couldn't stand Sam anymore and neither could Quil so we're at the Cullen's to talk with Jake about switching to his pack. We missed our friend.
"So you want to join my pack?" Jake asks and we nod. "Okay." he says and we smile. Leah growl but Jake shuts her up. I can feel Seth's glare on the back of my head. Renesmee walks into the room with her parents and sits on Jake's lap.
"Jakey who are they?" she asks.
"This is Quil and Embry." he says smiling down at her.
"Kai's wolf?" she asks and I stiffen at the mention of Kai.
"Yes." he says frowning. "Embry this is for you." he says handing me a letter. I open it and start to read.
Embry,
I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye in person but we had to leave for the airport. I know the past few weeks haven't been the best for us. I hope when I return we can still be friends because I know deep down you're still a good guy. I'll miss you and hope to see you when I come home.
Love always, Kai
She left. I grip the paper as tears glisten in my eyes. I've been such a jerk to Kai, she was right about everything. Right about Bella, Nessie, me, and everything else. Gosh I feel like an idiot. I am an idiot! I growl out in frustration and throw the letter on the glass table in front of me.
"She left." I mumble.
"Ya this morning." Leah says.
"Why didn't she say goodbye face to face?" I question myself.
"Dude think about it." Quil says. "It would have been too hard." he says.
"She would've broke down and changed her mind." Seth pipes in.
"I'm glad she left without seeing you." Leah says and I growl at her. "What? You don't deserve to see her." she says.
"But she's my imprint, I love her." I say.
"Well you sure have shown her that." Leah rolls her eyes and I groan.
"I know I've been an idiot." I grumble.
"Try jerk, heartbreaker, and other things that I can't say in front of a child." she says looking at Nessie.
"I need to talk with her." I say standing up.
"She's probably in the air by now." Seth says and I groan sitting back down.
"Great." I reply.
"Embry if you want her back you're going to have to work hard." Jake says.
"I know." I rub my eyes.
"She's not going back to you unless you show her that you sincerely love her." Leah says. "But if somehow she goes back to you..." Leah says and comes to stand in front of me. "If you hurt her again you're dead." she growls and I nod.
"I wouldn't dare hurt her after all this." I say.
"Good because I know hurting you would hurt her and I can't hurt my cousin." she says.
"I have to find a way to see her." I say standing up. I walk out the door determined on getting my imprint back. Hopefully she'll accept me back.
