Chapter 5
Adrianna's point of view
After we swim back to shore Embry and Jake lead me to the others. I notice Quil has Claire in his lap, Jake has Nessie in his, Jared is whispering things to Kim, Sam is kissing Emily's face and scars, Paul is holding a tired Rachel, Seth is talking with Collin and Brady, and Leah is just staring at the ocean. I look to Embry and see him looking at me. I blush and he smiles.
"So Adrianna tell us about yourself," Jake says.
"Well I have lived in La Push for around three years, I go to school with all of you or have gone to," I say.
"Don't you have a sister on the softball team?" Collin asks.
"Yes I do, Corey, she's just over there with her two friends and my friend," I say pointing in the other direction down the beach.
"What do you like to do, we don't see you in town?" Quil asks.
"I read, run, swim, and cliff dive," I say.
"Run where?" Sam asks.
"In the forest," I say.
"It's not safe in the forest, you could get hurt," Embry says.
"Don't worry I can take care of myself," I say.
"I mean it," he says looking me dead in the eye.
"Well what about family?" Brady asks and I freeze.
"I, um," I say on the verge of tears.
"Oh I'm sorry," he says.
"It's fine, I just, I have to go," I say running to the forest. When in the forest I phase ripping my clothes and run as fast as I can.
Embry's point of view
"Well what about family?" Brady asks and she freezes.
"I, um," she says on the verge of tears.
"Oh I'm sorry," he says.
"It's fine, I just, I have to go," she says running off to the forest. I give Brady a glare and then chase after her into the forest. I don't see her but find ripped clothes on the ground. What happened? I hear someone behind me and look up.
"Crap" the girl says.
"What, where did she go?" I ask.
"Don't worry she just went for a run, she does that when she's mad or sad or just needs to blow off steam," the girl says.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"I'm Corey, Adrianna's little sister," she says.
"Hi I'm Embry," I say.
"Hi, what happened with my sister?" she asks.
"Oh one of my friends asked about her family," I say and then notice her stiffen.
"Sorry I didn't think," I say.
"It's fine, I'm better than my sister but we just don't talk about our family it's too hard," she says shedding a few tears.
"I'm sorry," I say hugging her.
"Thanks," she says.
"No problem," I say.
"Well I have to get back to my friends but bye," she says walking away. I walk out of the forest and back to the pack. I smack Brady and he falls off of the log he was sitting on.
"Hey!" he says but I just glare at him and he frowns.
"So Embry where did she go?" Kim asks.
"I don't know, her sister said she went for a run," I say falling on the sand.
"Well it looks like you have a tough one, good luck with your imprint," Quil says.
"I'm sure she will like you Embry," Rachel says.
"I hope so," I say.
