When I grow up

Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy)
And you don't care what they say
See, everytime you turn around
They scream your name

Now I've got a confession
When I was young I wanted attention
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
Anything at all for them to notice me

-The Pussycat Dolls

I woke up to people yelling. They sounded angry and scared. I looked up at the white ceiling and listened to the words that were being yelled.

"She cannot say here!"

"Dad you're going to wake her up!"

That was definitely Embry.

I knew this was too good to be true. I guess I have to stay with Grampa and Nana.

I picked up the bag that Tracey had given me, threw it over my shoulder and walked towards the door. It was open so that's why I heard everything probably.

I walked down the stairs and found Embry standing in front of his angry father while his mother stood in between them, holding her hands to her mouth. I saw Embry look over at me and stop yelling at his dad.

"I guess I'm not welcome here. Thank you for allowing me to stay the night. I'll leave as soon as possible. Sorry for the trouble." I said to Embry's father, looking at him straight in the eyes. I saw anger and fear in his eyes. They looked a lot how mine have been for the past few days.

A few moments went by and no one said anything. It was only when Embry took my hand and rubbed my palm. It calmed me down and relaxed me. It was good to have a friend like Embry. I felt him tugging on my hand and I looked up at him. He was staring intently at his father, like he was asking him something but saying nothing.

"No Embry she cannot stay here! You know what the Elders will say!" His father said. I could see Embry's heart breaking through his eyes.



"It's okay Embry. Dr. Cullen said that his home always welcome to me. I'll come visit whenever I can."

Embry looked over at me with sad eyes. I gave him a sad smile and a great big hug. I could feel his heartbeat and his muscles through his shirt. If I must say, he's pretty built! Who knew there was a cute guy that was a sweet!

We split apart and walked hand in hand up to the front door. I saw all of the boys in town stare at us. Embry laughed at it and told me it was because they haven't seen a beautiful girl in their entire life! He walked me all the way to the main road but unfortunately that's as far as he could go.

"I'm sorry that I can't go any farther but I have to get home." Embry apologized and hugged me one last time.

"It's ok. I'll be fine."

I told him as we parted. As I took a step back from Embry, a car appeared on the main road. I looked over and saw Grampa and Aunt Alice sitting in black Chevy corvette.

"Hello PJ, Alice said you would be here." Grampa said.

I said my goodbyes to Embry and got into the car. It was a particularly quiet ride to the Cullen's house. I know Aunt Alice had lots of questions for me if Grampa told her who I was or maybe she already knew.

Whatever it was, I knew it wasn't going to be pretty when I got to the Cullen's.
