Chapter Six

Part One

Huge Guys Don't Trust Them

I'm waiting for Embry Call. Yes, that's right I am waiting outside school for Embry Call. It's strictly business, but still the fact alone is pretty remarkable. Now lets talk more about the fact he was late, almost everyone had left, including Luca, who kept mimicking hearts with his hands and then laughing.

Finally, he left saying something a long the lines of. "I can't stay here much longer it's bad for my reputation" Before I could remind him he doesn't really have a reputation, he took off leaving me hear alone. Well, except for Jordan, who was shooting hoops before he would head home.

He turned to look at me, and I could tell by the look of his face he was figuring out why I was still here. "Do, you need a lift?" He called from the other side of the parking lot, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"No, I'm waiting for someone" I smiled. "But, thanks"

"Are you sure they are coming?" Jordan asked.

"No, not really but I'll wait a little longer."

"Are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Positive." I assured.

"I feel kind of bad leaving you by yourself..."

"Don't, I'll be fine."

"Are you sure, I could wait or something I don't really have anywhere to be." He offered.

"Just because I have to be late home today doesn't mean you have too."

"You know my number, don't you?"

"Um, no." I said. Jordan sighed in annoyance and then starts looking through his bag. He grabs a pen and a piece of paper and writes something down on it.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Giving myself some piece of mind" Jordan said smiling, he handed me the piece of paper

"What is it?" I ask not bothering to look at the piece of paper.

"My number. Call me if whoever your waiting for doesn't show up, okay?"

"Thanks Jordan" I smiled once again.

"Anytime." Jordan said, getting into his car and drove off. I waved at him, as he passed by. I was surprised at how nice Jordan is, I never really heard bad things about him but never really good things either.

Just that he's really good at sports and he had this bad break up with a girl in a year below us. It ended up being some huge screaming match in the hallway. Talk about drama, I don't know how people get too the point where they have no shame about screaming at they're boyfriend in public.

I looked at the parking lot again, Embry's car isn't gone so he hasn't left. What in the world is he doing? Doesn't he know how rude is too be late when you plan to meet someone I mean it's just common courtesy.

This was stupid, I was not going to wait around for some guy to come especially Embry Call. I have not become that girl, I stared at the number Jordan gave me. It felt stupid too call him when he only just left besides my house wasn't that far away. I grabbed my bag and swung it around my shoulder, and begun to walk home.

Home finally. I haven't walked home in forever since Luca always drove me, something I don't appreciate enough. "Mum?" I called, Praying she had made something for me too eat cause let me tell you I was hungry. Oh great, no reply, isn't it always that way. I walked into the kitchen and dropped my bag. I looked around until I spotted a note neatly taped on the fridge in her hand writing.

Hey Sweetheart,

Going shopping with the girls and then meeting your father for dinner. We won't be home till later. Call me if you need me to be home for anything, this was last minute

Your father can be so romantic! Don't know when I will be home , I'll call you at 7 to make sure your okay.

Love you and be safe,

Mum

This wasn't abnormal. My parents still did this, every now and then they got all romantic and my mother thrived on it. I would get one of these notes at least once a month, and then the next day mum would ask me if I felt abandoned which I never did. I liked the house to myself it was peaceful it was nice it was mine. I stared at the 20 dollars on the counter clearly left for dinner and stared at my watch, 5:30 PM. Had I really waited that long for Embry?

I thought about calling Luca, but the idea of him going on and on about Embry standing me up and wondering why. Probably at some point suggesting something stupid like he was too nervous to be around me. Didn't sound fun at all.

There's nothing wrong with an early dinner, so I picked up the phone and called the local Thai food restaurant in forks that delivered. After I ordered, I put on some music by Carrie Underwood.

I have this thing for country music, I'm not exactly sure but there's just something about her voice that I like and the lyrics are pretty decent too. What can I say, I'm a Carrie fan. I turned the volume louder and grabbed one of my favorite books. I began to read, I'm not stupid I know this is kind of boring. But, I like listening to music and reading, it was my chill out session. The only thing that would make it better is chocolate. But the thought of getting up seemed really tiring, at this point.

Half an hour later, someone was knocking on the door. Probably, the lovely Pizza guy who would have my pizza, perfect. I got up as quickly as possible, I hate making people wait and grabbed the money from the counter before opening the door.

I took a step back when I saw dripping wet Quil Ateara. It rained?

"What are you doing here?" I asked taking another step back, thinking about closing the door in his face. There was no answer of course is there ever an answer when you really need on apparently not because all Quil did was stare at me.

"Looking for you." Quil stated.

"Why?" Before Quil could answer I noticed the Delivery boy behind him. I almost smiled when I saw that it was Jordan.

"Maria, small world" Jordan grinned. Quil turned around to see Jordan. Quil frowned at him, giving him a pointed look.

"So was he the one you were waiting for?" Jordan asked, nodding his head toward Quil.

"No." I sighed.

"Okay, then did that person..." He began/

"No, he didn't" I answered.

"You should have called, I told you I would pick you up." He frowned.

"Na, I was fine the walk did me good." I smirked.

"Next time then. So here's your food and that'll be 15 bucks." He said. I handed the money over to him and he handed me the change, winking at me. I blushed. Quil stood next to me in a protective stance and death stared Jordan.

"I'll see you around." Jordan smiled and wandered off. As soon as he was gone, Quil glared at me.

"How do you know him?" Quil questioned.

"I just do, now what do you want Quil?" I snapped.

"I came here to find you"

"Why" I asked. Why is it that random things are coming towards me now? A week ago everything was so much simpler, and now Jordan and I were talking. Quil was showing up at my doorstep. It was all Embry Calls fault. This was my senior year! How could he not realize I don't have time for all of his stupid games?

"Embry was worried" Quil explained.

"Worried?" I repeated. Worried, really? I mean come on, lets be serious. He stood me up left me waiting alone and now he was worried?

"Yeah, Jake and I were, um, trying to help him look for you." He continued.

"Well you found me, Quil. Report that I'm fine and leave."

"Your not going to make this easy are you?" Quil sighed.

"There's nothing to make easy Quil, why is everyone acting like Embry and I should, I don't know, be friends or something?"

"It's not everyone it's the whole universe." Quil added.

"What are you talking about Quil your not making sense." I asked, a little freaked out.

"I'll see you later Maria." Quil said and ran away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mum and Dad didn't get home until midnight. I heard them come in, giggling and laughing. I groaned, rolling over trying to get some rest which was impossible since Quil had completely freaked me out. Lying in bed at 3 in the morning trying to get to sleep was just plain annoying.

I think I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard something. I jumped , even thought it was probably my dad getting a cup of water. I closed my eyes trying to ignore the sound, I was being paranoid and then I heard a thump like something had just hit the floor "Fuck" A husky voice cussed.

"Who's there?" I shrieked, completely freaked out.

"I woke you up, damn" The deep, husky voice cussed again.

"Embry?" I asked, pulling the sheets closer and closer to me as if they were going to protect me from him.

"Sorry, Maria I didn't mean to wake you." He apologized.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I spat, reaching for the light switch on the lamp by my bed.

There he was standing there in front of me in worn jeans and a black shirt, that was all wrinkled. "I'm sorry, I just, well, Edward did it with Bella so I thought it might work with you." He sighed.

"Who's Edward and Bella?" I hissed as I clung to my sheets for my dear life.

"I really suck at this don't I." Embry groaned. He sounded like he was depressed, "I just thought, of, damn it, I don't know. I just I wanted to amaze you, but now that I think about it. this is just creepy"

"Yeah it is" I said quietly. I know I must sound insane right now, but I felt kind of sorry for him. Even if he was acting like a complete and utter freak. "Embry why would you want to amaze me" I asked.

Embry shook his head as if his trying to clear it, "It doesn't matter"

"Well I think I deserve an answer since your in my room." I said, clearly annoyed.

"I gotta go I'll see you around." Embry said. He then gracefully climbed out of my window. What just happened? Why in the hell did Embry just climb through my window? And why am I not furious with him? Stupid boys, I hate them.
