Chapter 9
Adrianna's point of view
After I left the house I headed to Emily's to see if Jake was there. When I got there I knocked on the door and Sam opened it.
"Hey Adrianna," he says smiling.
"Hi, um is Jake here?" I ask clutching the photos of us.
"Ya I'll go get him," he says and leaves. I wait and then Jake comes out.
"Hey," he says.
"Um can we take a walk?" I ask.
"Sure," he says and we walk through the forest.
"What's your last name?" I ask.
"Black, why?" he asks.
"Do you know if you have any cousins?" I ask.
"Collin is my first cousin and Jared and Quil are my second cousins, but I don't think I have any others," he says.
"Do you know any one with the last name of White?" I ask.
"It rings a bell but I don't know," he says.
"Um is this you?" I ask handing him the picture. He looks at it and then goes wide-eyed.
"Y, yes it is me, how do you have this picture?" he asks.
"You've seen this picture before?" I ask.
"Once or twice but I remember it, this is my cousin Adrianna White," he says and then looks down at me.
"That's me," I say.
"You, you're Adrianna White, my, my cousin?" he asks.
"I think so, I just found this photo and I asked my grandmother about my other relatives and she said I went to go see my cousin Jacob Black when I was little," I say.
"I can't believe this, we need to go talk to my dad," he says and then grabs my wrist running toward his house, I'm guessing.
We arrive at a little red house and burst inside.
"Dad!" Jake yells and a man in a wheel chair rolls to us.
"What Jake, what's wrong?" he asks worried.
"I have a cousin named Adrianna White right?" he asks.
"Yes, you do, why?" he asks and Jake hands him the photo.
"Where did you get this, it's locked away?" he asks.
"She had it," Jake says.
"Hi," I say half smiling.
"Adrianna?" he asks.
"Yes I'm Adrianna White," I say.
"Who are your parents?" he asks.
"Derek and Paula White," I say.
"Oh my," he says.
"What?" Jake asks.
"This is your cousin Jake," he says.
"Really?" he asks."
"Yes, where is your parents and brother?" he asks and I feel my heart-break. My knees fail me and I fall down crying really hard.
"Oh no!" he says. I feel warm arms wrap around me and lift me up to place me on a bed. I keep crying and feel new warmer and softer arms wrap around me and soothe me. I soon fall asleep in their arms.
Jacob's point of view
After I placed Adrianna on the guest bed Embry burst in. I pointed to the guest room and he ran in there. I heard Adrianna's crying stop and start to fall asleep.
"Dad what is going on?" I ask.
"I'm not entirely sure but I know that something terrible happened," he says.
"What do we do?" I ask.
"Wait until she wakes up and then we will talk with her," dad says.
"Alright," I say and go to check on the Embry and my cousin. I see her asleep in Embry's arms who is looking at her like she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Which is what I think he is thinking. I hope she wakes up soon so we can resolve everything.
