Chapter 7 –

I woke up the next morning and smiled. The sun was shining outside and window and everything felt right. Then I remembered Edward. And Embry. I groaned, today is so not going to fun, I thought.

I'm really not someone who dwells on bad things; I like to just get everything over with. So within 20 minutes I was downstairs, showered and dressed and ready to face the day.

But no one was in the house, even with my human senses I could tell that. Confused I made my way to the kitchen to make breakfast, suddenly finding myself craving pancakes. I made 2, then sat down at down at the breakfast to eat. Whilst I ate I thought about what I would do today. I'd intended to see Seth of course, but I didn't know what time he was going to come over and I had something I wanted to do first.

I decided that seeing as no one was around, it probably meant Seth wouldn't be here any time soon so I ran upstairs and grabbed my bag, shoes and a coat (it may have been sunny, but in Forks you just can't trust the weather). I grabbed a pen and a piece of paper :

Bella, I wrote, figuring it was best to direct towards a sympathetic family member, I've gone to La Push to see Embry. If Seth comes can you tell him I will home by lunch and to wait for me? You guys all need time to catch up anyway. If he calls, tell him to come by later, when I'm home. Please. See you later, Sari.

Once I was done writing, I pulled my phone out of my bag and sent a quick message to Embry. I'm coming over, meet me on the beach.

When I arrived Embry was already there, sitting on the same driftwood tree that me and Seth had sat on last night. He had his back to me but I knew he would hear me coming. He didn't turn as I approached him and when I sat down beside him, he turned his face away from me.

'Embry?' I spoke cautiously, I knew he was mad, or upset and I was worried. 'So, I'm here.' I said when I got no reply. 'Embry what's wrong? What did you want me to call you about?'

He turned to look at me now and his face was sad. His eyes were red, I could tell he'd been crying, that is so not like Embry.

'It's nothing Sarella.' Sarella? Embry never calls me Sarella. Not unless he's really mad.

'You're mad…' I accused. 'But I don't understand, what did I do? Everything is fine with us right? I mean I saw you yesterday, you weren't mad then, you were fine at the bonfire. Embry please answer me, what is wrong?' To my surprise he was laughing, not properly but it was a start.

'If you gave me a chance to speak, I would.' He teased, then his face turned serious. 'It's nothing Sari, I'm being stupid. You're happy right? So nothing matters.'

'Yeah I'm happy Embry, but you're not. You're my best friend Em, tell me what's up. Please tell me wha…' but I stopped there. I couldn't speak any more. Of course, it was so obvious and I was being so stupid! Embry was worried about me. Because of Seth. But he was ok now because he's seen how happy I was, so it didn't matter.

'Oh! I get it now.' I smiled at him. He looked confused so I continued. 'You were worried that I would be upset because of what happened last night, with Seth. You were worrying about me. But now that you've seen how happy I am, you know you don't need to worry any more.

He was shaking his head. 'No Sari…that's not it.' Now I was the confused one. I started to ask what is was but he had stood up and was walking along the beach. I jumped up and followed him. He was still shaking his head so I stepped in front of him blocking his path. He turned his face away again but I wasn't having that. I found myself reaching up and turning his face back to mine.

'Tell me. Please.'

He looked suddenly terrified, nervous, happy, relaxed and pained all at once. I lowered my hand, and my eyes.

'Sarella…' It was his turn to lift my face now. 'Sarella…I have to tell you how I feel. Sari, I…I love you. I'm in love with you Sarella. And now you have Seth, and I don't have you, and I'm probably going to be killed for doing what I'm about to do, but I don't care, because it doesn't matter anymore.

And then, before I could even realise what was happening, he kissed me.
