Lacey's POV

"I have to take this." I muttered putting Claire down and walking outside.

I hit the little green button and pressed the phone's cold surface to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked, my voice was barely a whisper.

"Hey, Lacey Mae." The familiar voice felt like a knife in my back.

"What do you want?" I seethed.

"I just wanted to let you know, I have some, um, business to take care of. My arrival is going to a bit delayed." Riley/Dameon said.

He sounded like I was his daughter going to pick him up from the airport or something.

The low tone beep signaled that Riley/Dameon had hung up.

I was having a hard time calling him just Riley.

Part of me wondered if he would look the same.

Max looked exactly like he did when we were on the Titanic.

With Claire, though, the only resemblance were her midnight black curls.

I looked a lot like I used to except my green eyes were a little darker and my hair was more red than brown.

So I wondered, would Dameon/Riley have Dameon's sandy blonde hair and healthy Floridan tan skin with brown almond shaped eyes?

Without knowing it, I was staring into the woods while I thought about that.

"Whatcha doin'?" Seth asked from the porch.

"Oh! N-nothing." I said, shaking my head to clear it.

I walked to the front porch and sat on the railing.

"Yeah, I totally believe your doing nothing." Seth rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Who was on the phone?"

"No one."

"Lacey-"

"Just drop it OK!"

"OK!"

I sighed, I didn't understand what was wrong with me but I couldn't help but wonder how cute the boy was.

Ew, did I really just think that? Ew!

"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that...Its just someone I knew, a long time ago." I muttered.

"Do you still talk to him? Considering its a him." Seth said hesitantly, probably worried that I would blow up again at any moment.

"Well, he calls. I don't know him anymore. Its- Its complicated." I shrugged.

"OK then. Um, heres something I've been wanting to know, why do you talk to the Cullens?" Seth asked.

"I thought you like the Cullens." I said surprised.

"I do, just asking why you do." Seth shrugged.

"I met Carlisle when I was seven and Aunt Tiffany took me to the hospital for my burns. I sort of, um, freaked out when I realized what he was. He wanted to show me he was good, so i met his family. Alice and I just sort of clicked and we have been terrorizing the world ever since." I answered.

"Ah."

We talked for a little bit when Embry came out chuckling nervously.

"Hey, Lacey, would you mind doing something for me?" Embry asked.

I raised an eyebrow annoyed.

I'd been enjoying talking to Seth.

"Depends. What is it? Last time I helped you, I ended up getting a B- on my Moby Dick book report.

"I said I was sorry! I took you out for ice cream!" Embry protested.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"A girl."

"What?"

"Look, we're all guys besides Claire and Emily. Claire is three, and Leah can't stand Emily. Your the only one left."

"Why do you need a girl?"

"Because guys cannot handle girls crying OK?"

"Good god, please tell me your kidding? Have I ever been a compassionate person? Ever? I remember one time!"

"Look, we don't have many options."

"Emily would be better." I sighed walking towards the door.

"Thank you, Lacey." Embry said hugging me.

"Choking. Me!" I gasped.

"Sorry!" Embry exclaimed letting me go.

I walked inside and saw Leah crying on the couch while everyone just stood there staring.

"We don't know what to do." Quil said throwing his hands up.

"Ice cream?" I asked looking around confused.

I was a fish out of water, I might be a girl but I was just like a guy when it came to girls crying.

"You have no idea what your doing do you?" Sam asked.

"No. I don't cry." I shrugged.

OK, that was I lie, but truthfully the only time I had ever cried, in La Push/Forks, was the time Rosalie was there.

"Yeah, right." Jacob said rolling his eyes.

"Guys, she's not kidding. I've never seen her cry. I would highly doubt she cried when I went missing." Embry said.

Everyone looked at me shocked.

"What? I learned a long time ago whats cry worthy. Nothing here so far." I said.

"What do we do though?" Brady asked clearly freaked.

"Uh, we can give her ice cream! I saw that in a movie." Jacob suggested.

"Doesn't the girl get eaten by zombies in the end?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"That movie is rated R, and came out when you were ten, you know that right?" Embry asked.

"The TV in my room gets cable. Don't tell Aunt Tiffany." I said.

"So, you get a TV with cable, and I get a sound machine? Really?" Embry asked annoyed.

"Quit your whining. What are we going to do?" Seth asked.

When did he come in?

"You should know! Your her brother." I said.

"Yeah, I'm her younger brother. Mom was the one who took care of her when she was crying."

"Then go get your mom."

"How come we didn't think of that?" Collin asked.

"Cause your idiots?" I supplied, which got me whacked upside the head by Jacob.

"You know, for someone who can't get along with Rosalie, your a lot like her." I said glaring at Jacob.

"Ugh, thanks for the mental image. Rosalie and Jacob getting along, that would be disturbing." Embry shuddered.

"Yeah, yeah, will someone just call Sue before it gets worse?" I asked.

Emily called Sue, and when she arrived, she promptly kicked us all out of the house.

"Well, what do we do know?" I asked as the pack, Max, Claire, and I just sat on the front lawn.

"I'm going to see Kim." Jared said leaving.

"Is he always like that?" Max asked.

"Pretty much" and "Yes"'s came from the pack.

"Is he always like what? I'm confused." Claire claimed.

"Play with the spoon." I said taking a spoon out of my pocket.

"Why do you have a spoon?" Embry asked.

"You never know when your gonna need a spoon."

"When you eat."

"Actually, they come in handy as a weapon on occasion."

"Oh, lordie."

We never did learn why Leah was crying like that, but whenever we tried to bring up the topic, Emily or Sue would glare at us. Training was good, and throughout the next few weeks, everyone in Emily's house started to feel like family. Seth and I were dating, which drove Embry completely nuts. Oh, and I almost totally forgot about Dameon/Riley. In fact, it was like he disappeared. Almost.
