I looked at Jacob's face and it was like stone, cold and hard. He hasn't seen me in days. I don't even know why my heart sped up.

"Hey Jacob, What have you been up too?" Embry asked, trying to be nice but there was a certain edge in his voice.

"I'm fine. Don't play nice Embry, what are you doing with PJ?" Jacob asked harshly.

Who does he think I am? I am not an object or possession that can be passed around. I stepped away from Embry and walked over to Jacob.

"Listen I am not something that can be passed around like a doll. I can hang out with whomever I want and do whatever I want! And a matter of fact, Embry was kind enough to offer me a place to stay. So just step aside and we'll be on our merry way!"

Jacob looked like he wanted to strangle someone but I didn't care. I walked over to Embry took his hand and stomped way from Jacob. Embry didn't say anything for the longest time until I heard

"PJ I can't feel my hand."

"Oh I'm sorry!"

I let go of his hand immediately. His hand was almost pure purple. I looked up in his eyes and saw pain.



"When my hand goes numb it's best to move it." I said not realizing that he had probably been in this situation before.

He looked at me amused and said,

"Okay Doctor Charis, what do you suppose I do?"

He was trying flirting. It seemed kinda forced

"I think just moving it will be fine. I have a personal question. Who do you like?"

He was shocked and asked, "How did you know?"

"Your flirting seemed really forced."

"Oh."

"Aw well who do you like?"

"There's this girl named Melika and she's a cousin of Jacob. She's so beautiful and funny and outgoing. She loves to read and to babysit her younger sister, Mia. I can't breathe when I'm around her and I must sound like a stalker but It feels like we are made for each other when we are around each other."

My heart felt like it was tightening and my eyes filled with tears. It was all in Embry's hazel eyes when he talked about Melika. His whole demeanor lit up when he talked about her. I knew that he was in love and I understood what it was like to hide your love. I don't feel that way anymore though. All I felt since Dylan shot me was hate towards him.

I must of been daydreaming because I then saw Embry putting his hands in front of my face and shaking them.

"Oh sorry! I can tell you really do love her," I said looking away at the trees. I do that when I'm really embarrassed but I guess he got the wrong message.

"Oh you like me." Embry half said half asked.

I looked at him straight in the eyes and said, "No." I then started walking again. It only took ten more minutes to get there. It was a relatively large town with a few buildings that were tall but they were wide.

I saw many people stare at us. It didn't seem very friendly so I walked behind Embry.

"Why are they looking at us like that?" I whispered to him.

"Actually their looking at you. They think you're a omen of bad luck."



"Why? I didn't even do anything."

"They think you brought an evil spirit with you."

Before he could explain anymore, we reached his house. It was medium sized and painted yellow. I knew I was going to like it here. We walked into his house and he told me that his parents were at work. He then took me upstairs and showed me my room. It was about twelve by fifteen and was completely empty except for the dresser and queen sized bed in the middle. I told him my thanks, plopped on the bed and fell asleep.

Things seemed fine that night. Who knew that tomorrow would be a disaster?
