Embry's POV
I had found Morgan in the front room with some of her friends, she came outside with me and we were sat with all the pack just chatting and laughing like we always do, Morgan stayed quite most of time as she sat on my lap, Paul had showed up with Lilly and they had gone looking for a room, you had to hand it to the guy one afternoon and he was already taking her upstairs of course things had been nearly as quick with me and Morgan, back at her house I smiled as I though about what had happened, we hadn't had sex but the girl had an amazing mouth, Erin had come back out and she had been introduced to Leah surprisingly Leah had smiled and hugged her, everyone watched open mouthed at them but you could see why Leah took to Erin so quickly, Erin really was easy to like, I had started to wonder where Sky was but I knew she could look after herself and she wouldn't appreciate me even trying to talk to her not after I'd lied to her about where I was that afternoon, it was then that I herd Paul shout from somewhere upstairs, it was only a muffled sound but no mistake it was Paul's I was so used to hearing his voice the rest of the wolves sat straighter and strained their hearing against all the noises to try to hear what was being said, we were having trouble with all the other noises in the house when Lilly came out the house rushing over to us her eyes wide.
"Paul's going mad, he's shaking all over and looks like he's about to kill Kane." She said in a rush all of us rushed into the house I just told Lilly and Morgan to stay outside, as we rushed through the house and up the stairs I could hear what Paul was saying clearly now.
"Don't even try to make excuses!" was what he shouted when we came through the door, I stopped in shock as I saw Sky on the bed in just her underwear and Kane being held to the wall by his throat with Paul's face mere centimetres from his, what had she done now?
Sky's POV
The girl came over to me and stood in front of me in a protective way I watched as they all took in the scene before their eyes and as their faces darkened I flinched as I looked at Embry who looked just as murderous as the guy who still had Kane against the wall. Jake seemed to take charge of the situation.
"Brady, Collin make sure people stay away take the girls, tell Chris there's a slight problem but were taking care of it and don't mention any names." They nodded and took hold of Kim and Beth they tried to pull Erin away as well but she pushed their hands away and Seth went over and tried to talk to her but she just shook her head and watched me with a serious expression.
"Paul let him go." Jake ordered the guy, he didn't let go he didn't even act as though he'd herd Jake. Jared walked over and tried to pull him away but the guy, Paul, just growled and pushed Jared away.
"Paul he aint worth it mate, and not here, there are too many people, the guys out of his face he don't know what he's doing, just breath calm down." Jared said to him.
Embry walked over to me shaking his head I looked at him and then away the disappointment on his face made me feel so small but I was still on my high and tried to get up off the bed but wobbled the girl stuck her hand out to steady me, Embry reached over the bed and grabbed me he took me to the other side of the room, the girl came to stand with me as well, I could see the other guys still trying to get this Paul off of Kane.
"What have you done?" Embry asked me, his voice didn't even sound like his own it sounded so angry and disappointed I flinched at the sound.
"I'm sowwry?" I said although it came out like a question.
"What did you take? I can smell the cannabis on you but what else?" he asked then his eyes moved round the room and he saw the cocaine lines and his face became a mask. "What have you fucking done?" he roared at me the guys, apart from Paul, turned at Embry's voice before I even processed what he had said he turned his back on me and strode over to Kane in just two steps he pushed through the guys and shoved Paul away, Jared and Jake grabbed Paul and held him away from Kane and were talking to him too quietly for me to hear, Kane looked as though he was about to thank Embry when Embry pulled his fist back and let it snap back against his face I distinctly herd Kane's nose break.
"Embry!" I shouted, he ignored me and grabbed Kane by the back of his neck and lifted him up for he had slouched against the wall his nose was clearly broken blood pouring from it and all over the carpet.
"You come anywhere near her again and I swear you will regret it, if I find that you have so much as spoke to her I will break both your legs and if I find out you have ever given her drugs again I will break every single bone in your body do you understand and I know even you aren't stupid enough to even think about trying to sleep with her again so no need to warn you there." Embry said in the most frightening voice I'd ever herd.
"I didn't force her; she came to me and asked for the stuff." Kane mumbled towards Embry.
"But you'd even handed her stuff when we first got here but she gave it back to you." Erin said her voice was like steel as she walked into the room more and over towards Kane, Seth held her by the shoulder and stopped her before she could get past Quil who was standing behind Embry.
"Well she came back." Kane said arrogantly and Seth and Embry growled at him in synchronisation it was a low rumbling sound I was sure I had imagined it.
Erin looked at me and came over.
"Who called you?" she asked sharply I shook my head.
"Don't even try it Sky, you walked away from him before someone rang you, who was it?" she asked again.
I looked anywhere but at her, I wobbled on my feet and fell back slightly against the wall but I wasn't far from it so I just rested there.
"She is so out of it." Embry said anger clearly evident in his voice.
"Not surprising." Kane muttered.
"How much did she have?" Embry asked him almost growled at him.
"About two draws, one ecstasy and one line of coke, but that's the strong stuff and that's only the drugs. She had crazy amounts of alcohol." Kane said clearly he didn't want to be hit again and was just going to tell them whatever they wanted to know.
Embry walked over to me and grabbed my arm and pulled me into the on suit bathroom he pushed me over to the toilet I just feel towards it and Embry caught me before my head hit the side.
"Throw it all up." He commanded.
"I cannnn't juuust makke my-myslef bee sickkk like cannnn IIII!" I slurred at him.
"Either you put your fingers down your throat or I will. And don't think I wont Sky, get the ecstasy and the alcohol out of your system." Embry threatened.
I frowned at him and he grabbed my face and went to force my mouth open when his hands suddenly disappeared, I saw Paul standing in front of me with Embry stood shaking his head at him.
"I would never hurt her; I'm doing this for her own good." Embry said his voice frustrated.
"I don't care; you will not force her to be sick." Paul said firmly.
"Thanksssss, but what the fuuuuck doess it have too dooo with youuuuuu?" I slurred pointing at Paul.
"Let's not get into that now, can you at least try to be sick?" he asked gently.
I shrugged at him and got up off the floor I couldn't stand straight and I swayed where I stood I suddenly felt very sick and I pressed a hand to my forehead as I swayed I fell into Paul he held me upright with his large warm hands.
"I feel really sick." I mumbled, in a blindingly fast motion Paul had me bent over the toilet and all my hair pulled out my face just in time as I threw the contents of my stomach up, I coughed and coughed while he just rubbed my back and held all my hair out of my face, once I was sure I was done I weakly tried to get to my feet but struggled with all the people around me. A pair of hands pulled me up and held me in place someone else handed me a cup of mouthwash with I rinsed my mouth out with and spat down the toilet I then flushed it all away. I saw Erin's face as she wrapped an arm round my waist and led me back into the bedroom, Kane was now dressed and being spoken to by Jake and Jared, he was looking extremely worried by whatever they were saying, Erin pushed me against the wall before she went to go and fetch my clothes I had totally forgotten that I was just in my underwear, the girl just came and stood with me while Paul went back over to Jake and Jared, Embry just paced in front of me while Erin and the girl I didn't know helped me get my shorts and top back on, they also helped me back into my shoes, I was still pretty uncoordinated and wobbling around but the girl kept me upright, then Kane left the room after nodding in my direction with a simply "I'm sorry".
"Don't worry about it." I said to him then he shut the door behind him.
"Right, now that he's gone, who rang you?" Embry asked me.
"I don' want to talk about it." I mumbled and tried to make my way to the door but the girl held me back.
"Look yeah thanks for everything but who are you?" I asked her in what I intended to be an angry voice but I sounded pretty weak the alcohol had gotten into my bloodstream, clearly not something I could throw up.
"Leah, nice to meet you." She said her face twisted awkwardly into what I guessed was her version of a smile.
"Yeah whatever, nice to meet you too, well not really considering what's happened but yeah get out of my way." I said to her.
"I don't think so." She told me laughing.
"Don't even try it Sky, just tell me who was on the phone and what changed your mind, you told me you were finished with the dru-" Erin was cut off by Embry.
"Yeah two months you were clean, what changed you tonight, you promised me you swore you would try your hardest, your first weekend here and you do this!" Embry shouted.
"You talk as though I'm addicted but I'm not I never have been." I said determinedly.
"Bullshit Sky, true you were never addicted, you never relied on them but it was getting pretty close. I want to know who rang you and got to you this mu-" he cut off as he realised who would have this much of an affect on me.
"Yeah you got it now huh?" I shouted at him. "He never stops does he! He just can't leave me alone, he heard the music in the background and people shouting and he started just as he always does, just his voice brings everything back! And he used the one thing he knew would get to me, against me, the one thing that scares me, scares me so much." I looked at Embry and just wanted to cry, but I wasn't done yet. "And he used it! He really hates me. And I hate him with all every fibre of my body!" I shouted at him.
Embry looked at me with sad eyes and then moved quickly over to me and hugged me tightly against him I hugged him back squeezing my eyes together to try to stop the tears.
"He's wrong, you don't need to be scared of that, it will never ever happen I can promise you that now." Embry whispered.
"But what if he's right?" I said so quietly I wasn't sure if he'd herd me.
"But he's not. I'm not going anywhere." He said squeezing me tighter.
I just tightened my arms round him.
"What did he say exactly?" Embry asked when he pulled away and looked at me.
"How I was ruining my last chance and the next stop was boarding school in Switzerland and how they'd sort me out, and how he was still in control and could have me back there with just one phone call oh and he said how after I'd fucked up everything here for me you and Helen, you'd want nothing more to do with me and I'd lose you forever." I finished in a whispered my head was slightly clearer now my anger bringing me out of some of my confusion, at least now I could speak properly.
"Never." He said looking angry.
I felt myself coming down from my high, reality was coming back, I felt myself start to shake as the drug affects wore off, and I let out a shaky breath.
"What's wrong?" Paul asked instantly his face worried.
"No worries, I'm just coming down from the cannabis the affects are wearing off. The shaking will get worse in about… 20-25 minutes." I explained and I couldn't force myself to say it even with a bit of bitterness.
"What do you mean in 25 minutes I thought it was wearing off now?" Paul asked.
"No. She'll be feeling the loss of the cocaine in her system and will be wanting more and more. Won't you Sky? You remember how that feels don't you?" Embry asked his voice sarcastic and angry he was still angry about the drugs which was understandable I suppose.
"Of course I fucking remember! Not something easy to forget!" I shouted at him, he just looked at me with disappointment clear on his face, I continued. "But withdrawal should be basically none existent this time, yeah I'll feel some of it but not much, I had hardly any." I told Embry, my voice more normal now, he just nodded, I tried to take my cigarette packet out of my pocket but I couldn't keep my hand still enough. Embry took them out and surprised me by taking a cigarette out placing it in his mouth and lighting it up before he handed it over to me.
"Thanks." I whispered he didn't say anything.
"Well we better go back down I'm pretty sure people are going to be asking what went on just say Kane feel on you and Paul got the wrong idea Lilly came and got us and then Embry got the wrong idea and hit Kane." Jake said, I nodded and looked around the room and saw there was still the rest of the cocaine on bedside table I went over when Embry's hand reached out and stopped me, his hand tightened on my shoulder.
"Are you fucking serious? Look it's not going to help anything, you'll be in more of a state if you have any more not that there is anyway your going to have any more." He told me his voice like ice.
"I wasn't going to take anymore; I can deal with this withdrawal and do you really think I'd do it in front of you? I was going to clean it up; if there's one thing I know it's how to get rid of any evidence." I told him coldly, he looked ashamed of himself for even thinking I would take more, although I couldn't really blame him for doubting me now.
I bent down held the cigarette in my mouth and scooped it all up into my hand I walked into the bathroom and tipped it into the toilet, I then flushed it, walking back into the bedroom I saw Jared Jake Quil and Seth walking out the door, I grabbed the hoodies off the bed and handed one to Erin I also took my vodka and put it back in my pocket, Erin came to me and took my hand.
"Can we talk in the garden?" she asked I nodded at her and smiled slightly. She didn't return it.
We walked down the stairs and out into the garden Chris asked what was wrong and I told him that Kane had just fallen on me and Paul got the wrong idea and yeah the whole made up story, we filled out the house and into the garden, I noticed that Kane wasn't with his friends in the kitchen they all looked at me when I passed by a few of them smiled and offered me a drink but I just said I was fine, in the garden the guys went back to the table where Brady, Collin, Beth, Kim, the girl Paul had been with and another girl were sat but Erin pulled me over to another table.
"Sky explain to me what really happened." Erin said her face still holding sharpness to it.
"Basically Ian called me and yeah he knows how to get to me, he used what gets to me the most, and yeah I don't really want to go into details about it all, not right now anyway, and like yeah he really fucks with my head and I was just angry and wanted to forget everything and that's why I went to Kane, I done shots with them all and then asked him if he had anything stronger, he said he did so yeah we went upstairs to line up-" I was cut off by Erin's hand slapping me across the face.
I sat there for a moment thinking about what had just happened. Erin had slapped me. I stared at her blankly too shocked to even react.
"You stupid bitch! You come to me! Or Embry, or any of the others they all care and before you butt in they do care you need to realise that people actually care about you. No matter what was said to you drugs is not the way! Are you hearing me? They will fuck your life up! And you would be proving that Ian right, can you not see? Embry has stood by you through everything, you told me about all the times he's been there for you, and you do something like this! Create more shit for him to have to put up with! I know I can't really speak for him but seriously are you really that stupid to ever think he would leave you and want nothing to do with you? That guy loves you so much and all you're doing is going to push him away because you're scared to lose him!" Erin snarled angrily at me.
"How do you know that's what scares me?" I asked her blankly.
"It's pretty obvious Sky, well to me anyway, the way you speak about him the way he's the only person you've ever fully let in passed this guard of yours, you've let me in quite a bit but with Embry it's clear how much you trust him and if I'm being honest how much you rely on him. But seriously that's what scares you most? The thought of Embry leaving you?" Erin asked more gently now.
"Yes. Because when he finally realises what a complete fuck up I am I will have no one left, not that I want anyone else, and before you say it, if I lost Embry I would lose Helen too. They're all I have." I whispered.
"No there not, you have other people in your life now, like me, and for whatever reason Paul seems to want to protect you." Erin said she took my hand and squeezed it tightly and she smiled at me.
"Yeah it got weird when he came in, now actually hear me out here okay?" Erin nodded. "Yeah when he walked in even though I don't know the dude, I like came out of the whole drug high and yeah I completely forgot Kane was even there." I told her.
"You forgot that some guy that was half naked was lying on top of you?" Erin asked doubtfully.
"Well yeah basically, it wasn't till he said something to Paul that I even remembered he was there." I said a confused look on my face I was sure.
"That's actually pretty funny, I mean sure yeah you looked up when he walked in but seriously how could you completely forget about the guy you were just about to shag?" Erin asked.
"I honestly don't know, it's weird like Paul looked at me and smiled and had this weird look on his face like he was looking into a blinding light then that girl with him said something and he like realised what was going on and like went mad." I said.
"Yeah Lilly came out here and was like Paul's going mad and all the guys just ran, and yeah we followed and well yeah you know what we walked in on. But yeah it was weird how Paul had him by the throat but then maybe he's just being that protective cause your Embry's sister." Erin suggested.
"But he's never met me before, he didn't even know who I was." I said.
"I don't know Sky, he was looking at you really weirdly, like he loves you, and he even pulled Embry off you when he was trying to get you to be sick and Embry didn't do anything weird huh?" Erin said.
"Yeah pretty weird, I mean at first I was like okay seriously hot guy then he just flipped out and I was like oh shit what's going on? So yeah weird kinda don't cover it." I said.
"True, but I still can't believe you were going to shag Kane though, I mean seriously I'm sure he's an alright guy but come on!" Erin said in a humours tone.
"What? He's not that bad, well I guess he's a bit out of focus but yeah he had nice eyes." I defended myself.
"Oh yeah if your into that no pupil look, I'm sure he's fit as." Erin said sarcastically.
"Oh hahaha, he did have pupils they were just a bit smaller than normal." I said.
"Yeah yours still aint looking to good." Erin said her face serve again.
"Yeah well, it should wear off completely soon enough." I told her.
"Please never do this to yourself again, its horrible sitting here watching you, you can't keep still your looking everywhere and are just totally on edge and you're with me for fucks sake!" Erin said to me.
"The joys of drugs." I said sarcastically.
"Don't even joke about it." She shot back at me.
"A part of me, a very small part, feels bad for Kane." I told her.
"Why's that?" Erin asked tilting her head to the side in curiosity.
"Well he like had his nose broken by Em and like yeah Paul flipped out at him and yeah at the end of the day it was me who came onto him, yeah it was clear what he wanted I suppose but like I was the one who took him upstairs but that was for the drugs, there's no way he was going to line up in a kitchen, and yeah…" I trailed off unsure how to continue.
"And yeah…what exactly?" Erin asked encouraging me to continue.
"Well after he lined up he had some first, then I did." I looked away from Erin here but continued talking. "Then I don't know why but I went over to him and yeah we were dancing because we could still hear the music, then yeah you know how things go but it was pretty shameful I suppose." I said thinking about how we'd found it hard getting out of clothes while drunk and high.
"What was shameful exactly?" Erin pressed.
"Well we were both pretty pissed and yeah tryna get out of your clothes while drunk and high while tryna find the bed, although it was quite funny, he couldn't get my shorts undone." I laughed. "I was alright but yeah he was really uncoordinated mind you I did like push him away like onto the bed virtually."
"Sky, although that's funny I still don't get why you would even want to shag the guy!" Erin said.
"You said it in that very sentence, he's a guy! I'm strictly straight so girls do nothing for me, and yeah he happened to be there and yeah there was a perfectly good bed why let it go to waste?" I asked her smiling cheekily at her.
"Your still only fifteen though Sky, you know what fuck it, I'm not going to sound like a parent here and lecture you, you know how old you are and I'm in no position to say anything to you about your age but yeah you might not want to mention those reasons to Embry, I don't think he could take it." Erin said.
I sighed.
"Well at least a few good things came out of tonight." I said trying to lighten up the conversation.
"Are you serious? What good came out of tonight?" Erin asked in disbelief.
"Well I've got a lovely new friend called Celia who I'm going to be having lots of fun with." I said grinning evilly while Erin laughed. "And then we have the fact that I was right."
"Right about what exactly?" Erin asked doubtfully.
"Seth hasn't been able to keep his eyes off of you." I told her smugly.
"And you would know this how exactly? You have spent the entire night either getting drunk, dancing with random guys, fighting with said guys girlfriends oh and getting drugged up and nearly sleeping with another druggie oh and then major drama concerning your brother and a few of his mates." Erin said.
"Ouch that's a bit of a harsh summery of my night and for the record I'm not a druggie okay?" I asked her snappily.
"Yeah I know your not but I was just saying… so when exactly have you seen Seth 'not being able to keep his eyes off of me'?" Erin asked.
"Well as you said my night has been quite eventful but, I am a female-"
"Yeah I know you're a female as do virtually everyone over there well minus Morgan she didn't come up." Erin said laughing.
"Well thank you very much for again bringing up the fact that they've all seen me in my underwear, but I don't really care about that, they saw me in my underwear like yesterday when they came home to get me, but as I was saying before you rudely interrupted me, I'm a female there fore I can multi-task and yeah I've been keeping an eye on you and Seth and yeah talk about staring at someone's tits when it comes to Seth looking at yours, and lets not leave out the fact that when you were dancing I saw him with his hands on your arse, and you've been checking him out nearly as much so don't give me any of the 'I don't know your on about' shit okay?" I said to her smugly as I looked at her, her narrowed eyes her face showing a hint of red on her cheeks.
"Oh and then there's the blush as proof to everything I just said." I added smugly.
"Yeah well…" Erin trailed off.
"Oh come on don't even try to deny it you are soooooo into him." I said.
"Well he is lovely, what's not to like?" Erin shot back.
"Well that is true, he is a nice guy." I agreed.
"See, so leave me alone." Erin said.
"Fine, but from my original point I am right. He's totally into you! I mean come on he's even met your family he beat up your cousin, sorry for bringing him up I know we said we wouldn't tonight, and is like just so I don't even know like he just looks at you in this way that makes even me, the cold-hearted-bitch, go 'awwww cute' at." I told her.
"I don't think you're a 'cold-hearted-bitch'." Erin said.
"Well it's starting to melt now I'm away from certain people I suppose, but ENOUGH of avoiding the Seth situation, you CLEARLY really like him and he CLEARLY really likes you back so you two should just get together!" I told her smiling as she looked away from me but following her gaze I saw she was watching Seth.
"OI! SETH!" I shouted out towards him Erin looked at me instantly her face curious as to what I was going to say, I just smiled innocently at her.
"What Sky?" he called back smiling.
"Come here!" I told him, he got up and walked over as everyone watched with amused smiles on theirs faces, when he got to our table I got up and staggered slightly and Seth caught me before I fell, he held me up and shook his head at me.
"What was it you wanted Sky?" he asked his face amused as I tried to regain my balance but held onto him for dear life at the same time, everything was spinning but I tried to focus on Seth's face.
"You and Erin can talk and yeah you know the rest I'm off now, behave yourself…" I told him as I gave him a mock serious look and started to walk away as him and Erin laughed and she said. "Yeah Sky we have been speaking all night." I just smiled at her and gave her a clearly obvious wink to which she laughed and shook her head at as I turned and tried to walk over to the table all the others were at and staggered a few times Paul kept starting to get up to come and help me but a look from Embry made him sit down again. I eventually got to the table and sat between Jared and Paul.
"Helloooo." I said to everyone, they all smiled back while Embry just shook his head at me, it was then I noticed the girl sat on him and my eyes narrowed as I saw her lean back slightly against Embry.
"I don't think we've met yet. You must be Morgan." I told her my voice and face sickly sweet.
"Yeah, your Sky right?" She asked in a friendly voice, faking bitch.
"Yeah, and that's my brother your currently hanging off." I told her smiling sarcastically at her.
"Sky, be quite." Embry snapped at me, I just pulled a face at him and turned to Jared who had Kim virtually glued to him.
"So how are you enjoying the night?" I asked him, he looked both confused and amused at me.
"Errr… yeah it's been entertaining to say the least." He said.
"Yeah I'd have to agree with you on that one, what about you? Sorry I kinda stopped you from getting lucky upstairs, speaking of, where is the little thing?" I asked Paul.
"Don't worry, you probably done me a favour." Paul told me smiling gently at me.
"Are you talking about Lily?" Morgan asked her expression guarded.
"Yes I am, I couldn't remember what her name was." I told her flatly.
"She went home." Morgan said her eyes flickered to Paul and she glared at him as though it was his fault, her voice was cold and ice-like.
"Maybe you should join her if all your gonna do is glare at him, and for the record I don't think he's even realised your tryna give him the skank eye so maybe you should just give up." I told her humour laced in my voice.
"Sky shut up; ignore her she's had a bit too much to drink." Embry told Morgan who nodded at him.
I huffed at that statement and he gave me a look that reminded me that I didn't really want her knowing the full truth.
"So what was with you calling Seth over?" Beth asked me.
"Well… it's clearly obvious that him and Erin like each other and like yeah they'd get round to getting together eventually but I thought I should just help them along and I was just pointing out to Erin that he does really like her." I explained I sniffed as I felt the cocaine starting to wear off I ignored it.
"And how could you tell they liked each other then? I mean as you said it's obvious but like how do you know for sure that their not just flirting with each other?" Quil asked a grin in place.
"Quil, Quil, Quil, don't think I forgot that you want me to explain how I know what a guy really means with everything he says and does, admit it, you know EXACTLY what you mean. Jake did. You know exactly what you're doing and what you mean by it well unless you're completely clueless." I told him everyone laughed as Quil shrugged and Jake went. "Yeah Quil you need to be more like me." With a cocky smile plastered across his face.
"Don't be too cocky now Jake, remember girls are always one step ahead of your next move. Well only a special few hold that talent." I told him winking at him, most people laughed while Embry glared slightly at me and I herd a faint growl from Paul beside me and he shifted in his seat and moved more towards me.
I sniffed a few more times an involuntary action and knew that Embry was watching every move I made, I felt my eyes start to flick around a bit faster than normal and I rubbed my nose. I ran my hands through my hair a few times and fluffed my hair up trying to cover the shaking up but the jerky movements were too uncontrolled to go unnoticed. I looked over at Embry and his face tried to hold no sympathy but I could see it through the cracks I could see in his eyes the hurt as he realised what was happening.
You okay?Embry mouthed at me, I nodded and took out my cigarettes and took one out and placed it in my mouth I fiddled with the lighter a few times my hand shaking slightly, Paul held my hand steady for a moment and then let go when the shaking had calmed and I lit the cigarette up and took a long soothing drag on it as I blew it out my breath was shaky I raised my shaking hand to my mouth again and took another drag before blowing the smoke back out my nose trying to get ride of the smell that still lingered, I remembered that Paul smoked and held the cigarette out to him, he took it and nodded his thanks and took three long pulls on it he went to hand it back to me but I shook my head.
"Embry…" I trailed off looking at him.
"Okay, you sure you want to? Look at me." He said I done as I was told and stared straight into his eyes.
"They're better now. Can you like wait fifteen twenty minutes?" Embry asked his eyes flicked to Morgan, oh so he needed time to set up another 'date' or whatever he wanted.
"Arghhh! Your so, I don't even know." I said to which he flashed a cheeky grin.
"Amazingly wonderful for a brother so you'll wait." He said.
"Well I shall make my way to the front and yeah by the time I've staggered there your twenty minutes will be up." I told him with fake enthusiasm, trying to get up from the seat I was in I turned round and saw Seth and Erin kissing on the other table, Erin was sat on him with her arms around his neck while his hands held onto her face.
"Look, I soooooo told you!" I shouted at our table, they all turned to look at what I was talking about and they all smiled and none of them in a crude suggestive way just a look of happiness, I gotta admit they are cute together.
"We never said you were wrong." Kim told me still smiling.
I shrugged, as I turned I caught my foot on the chair leg and went spinning towards the ground or so I thought but one moment I was looking at the floor the next into the most breathtaking eyes I'd ever seen and felt his large warm hands on my hips, I then had to be my drunk self and stagger a few steps to the side my head was still spinning but his eyes held me, they kept inline with my own obviously I had to look up at him but still it felt as though there was a line of solid metal holding our gazes together, I didn't like feeling this out of control especial by a guy. I shook my head and looked away but he still held me upright I felt the spinning again and grabbed onto his shoulder to hold myself straight.
"Are you okay?" he asked his voice low and panicky.
"Yeah, I'm just a bit, a bit, yeah you know, and yeah thanks for not letting me fall." I said still slightly confused by Paul's weird effect on me.
"Oh you'll fall again time and time again but I'll be there to catch." He said grinning sweetly at me, he said an extremely cocky line but his tone and face said the words weren't meant in that way.
I smiled at his words and then shook my head again and took a step back from him and turned still staggering, I felt his hand on my shoulder spin me round and hold me upright he looked over his shoulder.
"I'll take her home, you can stay." He told Embry.
"Fine but don't try anything." He told Paul his eyes sharp.
"How could you even think that?" Paul fumed at Embry.
"I guess things have changed then." Embry said to Paul.
"They have." Paul said in a quiet voice as he looked back down at me a smile on his face.
"Okay." I said in a confused voice. "Embry don't be like too late, and yeah do you want me or you to try to get your hoodie off Erin?" I asked him.
"You go for it." He told me laughing.
So I walked over to the still kissing pair, Paul still holding my arm to stop me from falling every time I stumbled.
"Oi, love birds." I told them, they broke apart reluctantly, and Seth looked at me with an annoyed look on his face and Erin looked pretty annoyed as well.
"What do you two want?" Erin asked.
"Well like yeah sorry for interrupting you guys, well not really but anyways, can you give me Embry's hoodie I'm going home and he's staying so like yeah I'm sure you can borrow Seth's." I said smiling sweetly at Seth he just smiled at me as he heard what I said.
"Yeah sure. But your not walking home alone are you?" Erin asked her face worried suddenly, she actually cares, already above all my 'friends' from England I smiled at her and before I could answer Paul did for me.
"No I'm taking her home." He said his arm suddenly around my waist as I stumbled even when I tried to stand still.
Erin took Embry's hoodie off and handed it to Paul as the cold night air reached her I watched as she leaned more into Seth and his arms wrapped tightly around her body.
"Okay well I'll speak to you tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yeah, have a good night." I told them both winking they laughed as me and Paul turned and made our way back to the others to say bye. Embry got up and came over to me, he pulled me away slightly and Paul let go of my waist although I could see the pain in his face at having to do so, this was so confusing.
"Look tonight's not been easy okay but you and Mom are having that chat tomorrow, and I think you should tell her what happened tonight okay, she won't punish you, she knows what's going on and she, like me, only wants to help you and do what's best for you alright?" He asked I just nodded and hugged him.
"So what time should I tell her you'll be home?" I asked when we pulled away.
"She doesn't really care, just tell I wont be too late." He said.
"Yes I know she doesn't really care what time your home but just so I know, and then I can make sure you haven't brought THAT back." I told him.
"Oh come on Sky, after what happened tonight you should be grateful that I haven't decided to ban you from ever speaking to another guy! And I'm not actually going to bring her back alright." He said.
"Good, and if your even tempted to bring her back for a quick one, remember that I will walk in and beat the shit out of her quite happily okay?" I asked him.
He gave me a look tat told me I was overstepping the line.
"Well whatever, but do you really want to shag a girl who's face is fucked?" I asked him. "And don't think I'm joking I will fuck her face up on another level alright."
"Go home. And sleep. I'll speak to you in the morning." He said as he hugged me tightly and kissed the top of my head quickly and pushed me away.
I staggered back towards the table and saw that all the guys were smiling at me and the girls looking slightly confused. Embry went and sat back down and Morgan climbed back into his lap, I groaned and made a face to which they all laughed other than Embry and Morgan who appeared to not have heard me.
"Well bye, I guess I'll see you on Monday, unless any of you stop by the house and yeah I suppose I'm kinda apologising for earlier but yeah its not really an apology well it might be I'm not to sure rea-" Embry cut me off.
"You've apologised without me even telling you too so well done, now go home before you fuck it up." He told me smiling.
"Yeah and that wont be the only thing I fuck up if you remember what we spoke about mere moments ago." I told him the guys burst out laughing as Embry's face hardened. "I will keep my word if you don't." I threatened he opened his mouth to reply when Paul spoke to me.
"Come on you; let's get you home before you start an argument with him." Paul told me turning me and leading me away.
I stumbled a few times in just a few feet, Paul surprised me by bending down putting my arm round his neck and picking me up in his arms.
"What are you doing?" I asked him although I was moving closer into his chest which I noticed was rock hard.
"You kept falling there was really no point in even trying to let you walk any longer, you could hurt yourself." He told me.
"Well I suppose that's true." I laughed as I wrapped my other arm around his neck and linking my fingers together, I rested my head against his shoulder, I felt his eyes on me as he walked through the garden and round through the side gate, as we got to the front we saw that quite a few people were outside they turned and looked as Paul's arms tightened on me as a few of the guys stared at me.
"So did you drive?" I asked Paul.
"Nope, I don't live too far from here, I'm only about two streets over from yours, you Seth and Erin walked right?" he asked.
"Yeah, me and Erin got ready at mine and Seth came and yeah we walked together, as I said the whole Seth and Erin thing is painfully obvious and yeah with what happened at school yesterday I think she felt better with him there." I told him my head still resting against his shoulder and although I had Embry's hoodie on my legs were still completely exposed but where my thigh was touching Paul's chest and were his arm was just under my knee I was toasty warm and his warmth seemed to radiate through my legs warming them all. Weird. But defiantly useful. We walked for a few minutes in silence but I could feel his eyes on me.
"Why are you so hot?" I asked him suddenly, he laughed at this a loud sharp barking laugh I opened my eyes and stared at him; the sound caught my attention, it warmed a place in my chest, the sound of his laugh, I was too confused to realise where in my chest exactly it was warming.
"Well I can't help the good looks now can I?" He said still laughing.
"Mate don't flatter yourself, I was just talking about your body temperature, all the other guys in your like group of friends I suppose you could call them have like a higher body temperature, I don't really care it's quite nice actually like my legs would probably be pretty cold if they weren't against you but just out of curiosity why?" I asked him.
"It's a genetic thing a few guys on the Rez have it, and I'm actually kind of offended by that, you are only worried about your legs being warm?" he asked, I opened my eyes and saw his face he was pulling a mock upset look, I giggled at the sight and his face broke into a loving smile.
"Well I'm sorry that I offended you, but like you need to be told your hot look wise, it should be plainly obvious and I think you hardly need me to tell you that." I told him I felt a laugh rumble through him.
"How are you doing?" he asked me.
"What do you mean?"
"With the withdrawal has it worn off yet?" he asked his face looked pained.
"Nope, not just yet, but it's alright, why do I seem bad?" I asked him.
"Well your eyes are doing fine, pupils back to normal, and your eyes are flickering around at all really." He told me.
"Look, answer me this seriously, when you walked in why didn't you just walk back out?" I asked him, his face hardened and he looked away from my eyes and stared out in front.
"You understand soon enough." He told me.
"What are you talking about? You didn't even know who I was, I could kind of understand if we'd met already and you were just like protecting Embry's sister or something like that but you were just so mad and shaking all over and yeah why did you get that worked up?" I asked him again.
"Because that dirty druggie doesn't deserve to touch you, he gave you drugs, and was going to have sex with you." He said his voice sounded furious and his face looked murderous again, his body began to shake slightly but his grip tightened on me and he seemed to inhale and the shaking lessened. I acted on instinct and grabbed his face and forced him to look me in the eyes and his shaking stopped.
"I'm so sorry Sky I should have my anger more under control but think of him and…you…" he trailed off as the shaking started, again acting completely on instinct I wound my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly lifting my body so I was sitting in his arms virtually while hugging him, he breathed deeply and when the shaking stopped I pulled away and smiled at him. I hadn't really understood why I had done that but it seemed to calm him down so I guess it was worth it.
"You and me have that in common." I told him.
"What?" he asked confused.
"I have a bit of an anger problem I guess you could say; well basically I just get pissed off easily and quickly, and you seem pretty similar with that, you were like so calm then you started shaking so quickly, which I take means your angry right, when you shake?" I asked.
"Yeah I guess we do have that in common, I heard you nearly had a fight with Celia, bitch never really liked her." Paul said laughing but then his face turned hard. "But your right when I shake that means I'm angry and yeah you should probably just stay away when I'm like that." He finished his face looked pained.
I reached a hand up and touch his face and a smile returned, it was while staring into his eyes with my head resting against his warm shoulder with his arms holding my body securely to his that I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face, his eyes never leaving mine even when they closed I could feel them.
So A LOT of DRAMA there!
