I walked into the living room where everybody else was. Jake and I stood there for a second just watching everyone. Leah, Embry, Seth, and Paul were sitting on the couch. Each of them in their own little world. Leah was staring out the window while Seth had his head in his hands. Embry was looking up at the ceiling and Paul was looking the other way. Colin and Brady were lying on the floor, the quietist they have ever been. Emily was sitting in a chair looking out the window while Sam was pacing the floor with his head down. Every now and then he would mumble something to himself, but even I couldn't comprehend it. I then decided to let everybody know I entered the room and I was ok. I cleared my throat a little. At that exact moment, everyone's heads popped up and Sam came rushing towards me. He hugged me tight, like he never wanted to let go.

"I'm ok Sam." I said while trying to get him to loosen his grip on me. The only problem was that it was the opposite effect. He hugged me tighter.

"Sam."

He pulled back a little to look at me. His thumb caressed my cheek.

"I'm fine." I said in a reinsuring tone.

I torn my eyes away from Sam's and looked at everyone else.

"I'm Sorry." I put simply. Emily was the first one to speak up.

"Why on earth would you be sorry Bella?" she asked incredulously.

"Because I shouldn't have run out like that. I shouldn't have locked the door, and I defiantly shouldn't have had a melt down like that. It was very selfish of me." I put simply. After I said that last sentence, I heard Jake growl a few feet from behind me.

Leah laughed.

"Selfish Bella, Seriously?" she asked.

I looked down ashamed.

"Bella, that was not selfish at all. And even if it was, then you deserve it. I have known you all my life and you alwaysdo the least selfish things. You always put people's happiness before yours no matter what." She stated in a fierce voice.

"You are the least selfish person I know Bella Swan, don't ever think different." She said softly.

I looked up and ran to go hug her.

"Thank you" I whispered in her ear. She nodded while hugging me back. After we let go I walked back into Sam's arms and snuggled into his chest. The silence was deafening. No body dared to speak for what seemed to be the longest time. Then Quil finally spoke up.

"Sheesh people. If you won't ask her I will." Quil said.

Sam then growled. I put a hand on his chest and looked into his eyes silently telling him that it was ok.

"Bella. What the hell happened?"

That was the thing I liked about Quil. He always got straight to the point, always cutting the bullshit.

This time, instead of Sam growling Jake did. I rolled my eyes. These guys and being overprotective.

"Jake, its ok. Calm down" I said sweetly.

Jake backed down but his eyes looked like they were shooting daggers to Quil. I chuckled a little.

"I flipped out. My mom and I…we had a disagreement before I left here. She just…said some thing that got me upset. And i'm…."

"Don't even say it Bella. I swear if you say you are sorry, I will kick Ur ass." Embry said, still looking up at the ceiling.

I looked at him shocked, actually I think everyone did. Embry was always the sweet kid of the pack and to hear him say that…made me speechless. I looked at Sam and his face seemed to mock mine but with curiosity mixed in.

I decided to lighten up the mood in the room.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really embry. Well let's just see about that." I said smirking. I stood up from Sam's lap and went towards the middle of the room. Embry just looked at me.

"What? Scared or something?" I asked.

"No. but i'm not fighting you Bella." He said tiredly.

"Why!?" I asked a little too loudly

"How bout we all start going outside for the bon fire now. Its dark enough I think, right Sam?" Emily asked.

"Yea….yea it is. Sure thing. Let's go guys." Sam said in an orderly tone after catching on what Emily was thinking.

I kept my grounds in the middle of the room. As embry was about to walk passed me I put a hand on his chest to stop him. He looked at me.

"Bella." He said.

"No. Stay here. I want to talk to you." I said firmly.

Embry sighed and stayed where he was. I didn't take my hand off his chest just in case he would leave.

Sam looked at the both of us curiously.

"Bella, honey, you comin'?" he asked.

"Yea Sam, I will be right there. I just have to talk to Embry real fast." I said, not even turning around to look at him. I kept my eyes to Embry making sure he wouldn't run off or try to escape.

"Okay" Sam said sadly.

After Sam left the room I took my hand off Embrys chest and looked him in the eyes.

"What's going on with you Embry?" I said in a slightly elevated tone.

"Nothing. I just…ugh." He said while rubbing his hands over his face.

"I just hate when you say your sorry when it isn't you fault Bells." He said sadly.

"Embry…."I said sadly.

"No. Bella. I know…I know you. You wouldn't cry without their being a meaning to it. I also I get it. I know who you are and what you are. I know why you suddenly left and why we couldn't hear you." He said while looking at me waiting for my reaction.

"Wh-what?!" I said horrified.

"Don't freak out. It's ok Bella. The pack will understand." He said caringly.

"I-I don't know what your talking about Embry." I said while walking away.

He took a big step and caught my wrist. He pulled me back by him and whispered in my ear.

"You need to tell them Bells. If you truly love us like you say you do, then you would share your secret like we are about to share ours." He said simply before walking out of the room. Before he completely left he stopped.

"But I mean, you pretty much know our secret, so what's the point in sharing?" He said over his shoulder.

I shook my head.

"It's not about knowing Embry."

He turned his head a little and looked at me oddly.

"Then what is it about?" he said with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's about the timing. It's about trust. It's about…..its so much more than knowing." I tried to explain to him.

He looked even more confused.

I took a deep breath.

"I could care less about knowing, even if I didn't know now. I don't want you guys to tell me just because you want to know my secret…" I said while diverting my eyes to the window. I remembered trying to explain this to Sam.

"I want you to tell me because you trust me….because you trust me enough to know that I would never tell, and that I would die before I would break your trust. I want you to tell me because you knew the timing was right. I want you tell me because I took the option to know." I put.

"Telling me, just because you want to know something about me doesn't mean squat. It just means that you don't have enough courage to ask me what you want to know yourself, and that you feel like you need to give up a part of yourself just because your curiosity got the best of you."

"I would never want you guys to feel that way. Ever." I said quietly.

He nodded and walked outside.

I sighed. What was I going to do? Tell them? Put them in more danger than I should? But how did Embry know? Was I being careless about my powers?

"Bella! You comin'?!" someone shouted.

"Yea! Coming!!" I shouted back. I decided to leave my thought there for the night and enjoy the rest of the bon fire like I was supposed to. I headed for the door and turned around. Tomorrow…I thought, before out the door to the people who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
