We walked inside, and Carlisle was standing along side Esme, getting ready to welcome CJ into their home. "Carlisle, I didn't know you were home!" I exclaimed. I must be getting tired. He chuckled, "Just got in actually. It's nice to see you again Dee." He said with a smile. I smiled back and gave him a hug. "I forgot to thank you earlier, for everything you guys are doing for me." I said as I pulled away. "We don't mind." He told me. Everyone was telling me that today. I smiled, and reached for CJ's arm. "CJ this is Carlisle and Esme." I said. "Esme, Carlisle, this is my good friend CJ." I introduced. "It's nice to meet you CJ." Esme said warmly. "Welcome to our home." Carlisle added. "Thank you for having me. It's nice to meet you guys as well." CJ replied. He could be nice when he tried, I supposed.
Carlisle and Esme led him to the couches, and I looked for Alice. "Alice?" I asked. She was by my side in a second. "Yes?" she said. "Can I go change into some pajamas? These heels are killing me…" I said. She laughed. "Okay lets go." I reached up and gave Embry a little kiss. "Be right back." I said, then Alice towed me up the stairs. "Okay Alice," I said once we were in her room, "Why did you make Rosalie make me put this on?" I asked refraining from yawning. She got into my bag and took out my Eeyore pajama pants and threw them at me. I sat on her couch and took my heels off, then slipped out of the skirt, and pulled my comfy pants on. She went through a few bags and threw an undershirt looking thing at me. "Because Edward wanted to see how he would react to you dressed like that. I'm sure he is telling Embry what his reaction was right now." I groaned. "Edward did this to me?!" I asked. She laughed, "In a way, but you were the one that said he had a dirty mind." She reminded me. I grumbled to myself as I put the night shirt on.
I matched, and I looked cute, Alice even got me toe socks. I was very happy. And I could feel how tired I really was. "Alice, where am I sleeping tonight?" I asked her as she helped me down the stairs so that way I wouldn't fall down them. "In one of the guest rooms with Embry." She told me. I sighed in relief. Embry was going to be there with me. That made me very happy. "Mmm." I said with a smile. "Sounds like I'm going to get a good night sleep. Maybe he will keep the nightmares away." I said, mostly to myself. When I got near the bottom of the stairs, Embry was waiting for me. I smiled as I saw him, and tried to hurry down the stairs to get to him faster. I tripped three stairs away from him, but he caught me as I was falling. "Careful now." He said with a chuckle. He didn't put me down, he carried me into the living room, where everyone was sitting down together.
Jacob had Renesme in his lap, Edward had Bella in his lap, Jasper had Alice in his lap, and Emmett had Rosalie in his lap. Carlisle and Esme sat next to one another holding hands on the love seat, and CJ was sitting in a recliner. It looked like we all were going to be sitting in a circle. Embry pulled me down onto the couch with him, me sitting on his lap. CJ looked a bit uncomfortable. "Okay, so what did I miss?" I asked. "Nothing dear, we were waiting for you." Esme replied. "Ohhh okay." I said and smiled at her. Yes, I was definantly getting tired. I got really hyper when I got tired. I don't know how or why. "I have just one question Dee." CJ said. Oh no… "Okay…" I said carefully. "I thought you were with Brian?" he asked. "Uhm no, Edward helped me break up with him today." I said. He nodded, "And now you are with Embry." He said, not like a question though. I raised my chin up in the air slightly. "Yes, I am." I said. "Isn't it a bit soon? I mean, you don't really even know him, do you?" he asked. I felt my face getting hot, and I saw Edward stiffen. "What are you implying CJ?" I asked. "Nothing, I'm just wondering why you are with him…." He said trailing off.
"Edward, someone, please explain to him, I don't think I have the energy right now." I asked quietly. "I'm going to go get a soda, do you want one?" I asked Embry. "Sure, thank you." He said. I smiled and carefully stood up, getting my bearings, and walked to the kitchen.
"Well CJ, like I'm sure Dee told you, this is all going to be hard to believe, and I can tell that you have never read Twilight." Edward started off. I guessed that CJ just nodded. I got out three sodas from the fridge, I knew CJ would want one too. Making a circle sort of, I went out of the kitchen in a different direction than the way I came in, and handed CJ a soda, then went to sit on Embry's lap again. "Well, I'm just going to say this bluntly, Carlisle, Esme, Bella, Rosalie, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and myself are vampires. Renesme is half human half vampire, and Jacob and Embry are werewolves." He said, but he said it slowly so that way he could understand him.
He actually began laughing. "Okay. I'm sorry, but I will believe it if I can see it." He said in between laughs. "Bella, love, would you mind standing up?" Edward asked. Bella didn't say anything that I could hear, but she did stand up. "And Dee, would you mind helping me as well? Don't worry Embry, its not like I did earlier." He said. I nodded and stood up. Bella sat down in Edward's spot. "Okay CJ, Vampires have a lot of strength, and to show you this, I want you to pick Dee up before I do." He said. I screamed at Edward in my head that I didn't want CJ even touching me, but he ignored me. CJ leaned down, wrapped his arms around my midsection, and picked me up. I could hear the strain in his breathing. Then he spinned me around, probably trying to show off. "You can put me down now." I told him when he stopped spinning me.
He put me down with a triumphant look on his face. "Now, you could pick her up like that, but watch this. Dee, please don't be afraid." He said and I nodded. I wasn't afraid of Edward. Edward leaned down, pressed his shoulder against my thigh, wrapped one arm around the same thigh, and stood up. I was taller than Embry, and I was trying really hard not to laugh. CJ looked shocked. "If you want to see our super speed, as Bella once called it, I could run with you." Edward suggested. "How would you do that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well I would simply have you climb on my back and I would run with you." He said as if it was the most obvious answer in the world. "Run around in the living room with Dee like that first…" he said.
"Dee remember, don't be afraid." Edward said. "Okay." I thought. I grabbed onto his shoulder with one hand, and then we were off. I closed my eyes as everything became a blur to me. I heard someone growling, or maybe that was my imagination. I heard the wind rushing past me as Edward ran, I think he was just running in circles though. "You can open your eyes now Dee." Edward said. When I opened my eyes, everything was still, I wasn't dizzy. CJ looked shocked. Edward must have ran and stopped and ran again in different places so that way CJ could get the idea. Slowly Edward sat me back on the ground. "Want any more proof?" Edward asked. "Yeah, if these guys are werewolves, I want to see it." He said. I bit my lip. Embry jumped up and came to my side. He laughed, "Okay kid, lets go outback." He said. I looked at Jacob, pleading at him with my eyes, but he just shook his head.
We all went outback, and someone turned lights on. Even I could see everything. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Embry said. "I'm not worried about you hurting me, I'm worried about CJ getting himself hurt." I whispered. Embry nodded, then kissed me. He pulled his shirt off and handed it to me. "How strongly apposed are you to male nudity?" Embry asked CJ with a smirk. CJ just shrugged. Embry went into the clearing, and Jacob came to stand next to me, covering Renesme's eyes. "The boy has to learn that we are not someone that he wants to mess with. If I thought Embry was dangerous I wouldn't be letting him do this." Jacob told me. I nodded at him. Embry stripped down with his back to us. Then I heard a low growl, and Embry began to shake, then, in place of Embry, was a huge light brown wolf. He turned to us with his intelligent eyes, and Edward began to laugh at whatever he was hearing around him. "OH. MY. GOD." CJ stammered. I laughed. "So are you scared yet?" I asked and skipped toward Embry. He was a great deal taller than me, but I reached out to pet him. He made a deep sound, a sound of contentment. "Dee… I can't even put it into words…" CJ began.
"What he really wants to say Dee," Edward began, "Is he cant believe you would even consider coming here with Alice, to a house full of Vampires and Werewolves, then decide to date a werewolf, and then on top of that, look completely comfortable standing next to him in his wolf form." Edward said. "How in the hell…?!" CJ asked looking outraged. "Oh yeah, another little thing I forgot to tell you. I can hear everything that you are thinking." Edward said with a smug smile. CJ's eyes widened and I could see his face turn red.
"Change back," I whispered to Embry, "I miss your voice." I continued. Embry nodded his massive wolf head, and gently pushed me forward with his head. I walked up to CJ. "I told you it would be hard to believe." I said to CJ. "What I can't believe," CJ spit through his teeth, then decided to try and pull me away from everyone else. He knew Edward would 'hear' but he didn't know that the rest would too. I decided not to say anything yet. "What I can't believe Dee, is how completely comfortable you seem to be here. I will be honest, I don't think you should be with Embry." He told me. I glared up at him. "You are not my father, and I will be with Embry for the rest of my life." I told him sternly. "What makes you think he is going to stick around for that long?" he asked. "Lets go inside and have everyone else explain." I said, swaying on my feet.
I really was, way, way too tired to try and explain. "No, you explain it to me!" he yelled. "Fine. It's called Imprinting. Its something the werewolves do when they find their soul mates." I told him. "What the hell is that?!" he asked. "It's basically love at first sight, only much, much stronger." I said swaying again. "That's a load of bull shit Dee and you know it. All he wants is to get in your pants." He spat at me. "One, its not bull shit, and two, isn't that all YOU want to do?" I spat back at him. With all the raised voices I noticed that everyone had followed us, but I don't think CJ did. And Embry didn't come up to me like expected, probably because he figured that would distract CJ. "That's different Dee. I actually care for you." He said. "That's the biggest lie I have heard all fucking year! If you care for me so much, then why did you break up with me?!" I yelled. "Because at the time I was confused." He yelled right back in my face. "What is your big deal anyway?!" I shouted, "Why can't you just be happy for me?!" I continued. "Because you keep bouncing back and forth between guys! Who knows, maybe you have already fucked Embry to!" he spat in my face. I growled at him. "What are you saying CJ? That you think that I'm a Slut?" I asked.
I knew I must have looked dangerous. I was so mad that I didn't feel tired anymore. I was shaking with anger waiting for his response. "Dee, calm down, that's not what I meant at all. I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything that I said." CJ said trying to get me to calm down. "Yeah right." I spat at him. "Your just saying that so that way I don't beat your sorry ass." I said. He looked at me oddly, and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Dee, you need to calm down before you hurt someone." He said. I took deep breaths, realizing that he was right, and that the person I would be hurting was him. "Don't do it CJ." Edward said in response to whatever CJ was thinking. "CJ I'm serious don't do it." Edward said and began walking toward us. "Or else what?" CJ asked. Suddenly I was hyper aware of his hands on me, and I tried to shrug them off. "Or else you're going to have to deal with a coven of vampires and a huge pack of werewolves." Edward said calmly. "CJ get off of me." I said beginning to feel uncomfortable. He let me go. I scrambled backwards.
Embry caught me before I fell, and we all filed back inside. CJ was a lot less mean when we went back inside. He learned some respect, I suppose. All I wanted was for CJ to be my friend, I don't want him to be doing this to my new family. I listened to the stories that they told CJ, and somewhere through it all, I fell asleep.
