Chapter 15
Adrianna's point of view
The next day I woke up without Embry but remembered that he had to leave. Julie, Nicole, and I went to the movies, Space Needle, and the mall again. It was a fun-filled day and I didn't have any hallucinations. I fell into a dreamless sleep that night and woke up by Julie yelling that we had to go to make it on time for breakfast. I got out of bed and changed into jean shorts, a white long sleeve shirt, and white sandals. I brushed my hair and put it in a high ponytail. Then we headed downstairs and waited for Nicole to get here so we could eat breakfast in the hotel's restaurant.
When she arrived we went and ate brunch. They had really great food but nothing compared to Emily's cooking. When we got done we went to the shore and walked around talking and feeding the seagulls. It was a little after 2:00p.m. when we came back to the hotel.
"Well it was good seeing you girls, have a fun rest of fall break!" Nicole says hugging us.
"We will and thanks for the shoes and having us," I say.
"You're welcome and it was a lot of fun," she says.
"Ya it was, bye sis see ya soon," Julie says hugging her sister once more.
"Bye," I say to her and then she leaves. We go back to our room grab all our bags and go back downstairs to the front office to checkout. While I wait for Julie I get a strange feeling like someone's watching me. I look around but see that no one is watching me. When Julie is done we walk to the parking lot and find my jeep. We load it up and then get in driving back to La Push.
On the way back I felt like someone was following us too. I made multiple stops to try and lose them and I think I did. We continued to drive to La Push and I dropped off Julie before I went home.
"Thanks for driving, I had a really great time, I'll see ya after break," she says.
"Ya it was fun and ya I'll see ya after break," I say leaving her driveway. It takes me a few minutes to get home and when I pull up I see Corey, grandma, Jake, Brady, Rachel, Seth, Collin, Leah, Paul and Embry there waiting for me. I smile and get out running to Embry. We kiss and hug tight.
"I missed you!" we say at the same time. I smile but am picked up by Paul who twirls me around.
"Paul put me down!" I say giggling.
"Alright," he says and puts me down. When my feet touch the ground I get a group hug from everyone.
"We missed you!" they all say.
"I was gone for three days!" I say.
"Ya but your fun!" Seth says.
"You're my sister!" Corey says.
"You are the only other girl!" Leah says.
"True, I missed you all too!" I say. After welcome backs the boys get my bags and bring them to my room.
"Oh what did you buy?" Rachel asks.
"Ya what?" Corey and Leah ask too. The boys go downstairs and grandma goes to makes cookies for everyone.
"OMG these boots are so cute!" Corey squeals.
"You sound just like Julie," I say.
"Well they are!" she defends.
"Yes, yes they're," I say. I show them all of my things and I show them the ring I was going to get if it wasn't so expensive. They all smiled when I showed them the picture, I wonder why. When we got done we went back downstairs and watched TV while Rachel helped my grandma with the cookies.
After the cookies everyone left except Embry, so it was only him and I in the house.
"So did you have fun?" he asks.
"Ya, but I did miss you a lot," I say.
"Same here," he says kissing my forehead.
"So what did you do while I was gone?" I ask.
"I did some shopping of my own," he says smiling.
"What did you get?" I ask and he gets off of the couch and knees down and grabs a ring box from his pocket. I gasp and he smiles.
"It's not what you think," he says.
"It's a promise ring that I will always be here for you and always love you," he says opening the box. In the box is the ring that I liked in Seattle. The one with a sliver band and sapphire blue gems. I gasp and look to Embry smiling. He smiles with he slips the ring on my right ring finger.
"It's beautiful, thank you!" I say kissing him. He kisses back and it's a long soft kiss.
"How did you know?" I ask after the kiss.
"Corey showed me the picture of the ring," he says and I nod.
"Well you did a perfect job, but how did you afford it?" I ask.
"I have been saving up for something special for you and I knew this was it," he says and I shed a tear.
"You are the sweetest boyfriend any girl could ever have and I'm happy to be her!" I say kissing him again. We end up making out until Corey comes home.
