Chapter 10: Time Passed
--
Bella goes back to her routine, except this time Embry was added to it.
With every busy day she goes through, Embry was the one who pulled her out of it. And it didn't go one-sided. Whenever Embry was tired from patrolling, he would go to Bella and she would take care of him.
Anyway, Charlie was fine with this, Bella and Embry yold him about them being together. Bella telling him more than Embry since he was a ball of nervousness. He was such an adorable teenager to Bella, but she was fine, she loved Embry. Charlie let their relationship bloom because of how Embry managed to make his daughter smile and relaxed without an effort. Of course he also noticed the effect it had on the boy, too.
Jake was angry at them. And he wasn't on talking term with any of them, avoiding them like plague and glare at them at every chances he got. It was only Quil that talked with Embry now, since Embry somehow got the wolf under more control than the older boys— men had. They suspected it had something to do with Bella and himself being together all the times with the exception of the pack.

It was Monday now. And Bella was dreading school. Days like this had been when she really needed her lovely space heater. Oh, yeahhh, the cramps. Bella was in no mood to talk, and her friends noticed this.
Reyna was the first one to approach her after many debate with their group.
"Uhh, hey, Bella, you ok?" She grimaced at her friend's glare. Sometimes, Bella could be scary, even with those big doe eyes.
"Yeah..." it was chilly here, Reyna noticed and she was sweating cold sweat, too. "Yeah, I'm fine. What cramps that are fine anyway? No, my cramps are sooo bad right now that i couldn't get up from here! Rey, help mee!" Bella whined as she look at Reyna, finally breaking her cold shoulder.
Reyna chuckled and proceeded to help Bella out. The other girls then came and also helped her. The boys stayed away from the girls, they knew better than to upset them.
Bella goes through her day just fine then despite her whining and cramps. She hates blood, though her monthly blood does smell fishy, she still hates it.
When she got back from school, Bella was at La Psuh by Reyna's help and was in front of Embry's house when Embry just came back from Patrol and saw her walking to the porch with her friend helping her.
He jogged towards her and was scooping her in his arms in bridal style in seconds, Reyna sighed then and sat down on his porch stair. "thanks, she was a bit harder to deal with than usual. i don't know why."
Embry chuckled, "I'll take care of her from here. Thanks, Rey."
Reyna gave him a half-hearted smile, "No problem. She's my first friend here since i moved here, I'm glad to help her."
"If you want to rest for awhile, come inside. My mom's out for a few days, so you won't need to worry about her barging in like before." That make them remember the first time Reyna hang out at Embry's with him and Bella and three more people, Sam and Emily, and Kim.
Embry's mom was supposed to be out for three days back then, but she got back earlier than Embry expected and had thrown a feat. It was a mess, and Reyna kind of got uncomfortable whenever she saw her, far or close around the town.
Reyna was a new resident in town, she was a granddaughterof a pair of old couple in Forks, she stayed with them ever since her parents died a year ago. When she first got here, Reyna wasn't exactly a new toy like Bella, she moved from Seattle, not Arizona, so she was ignored most of the time. Until Bella bumped into her by accident and suddenly pulling her along to hang out with her and her group of friends. From then, she was never alone again and Reyna was thankful to Bella for that.
"Cramps are shit!" Bella moaned as she got back into consciousness, "i don't know why this month is so hard on me, i mean, come on! My life couldn't be a little more easier can it? Babe, i want cuddles! My space heater."
Reyna laughed, Bella was not sober at all, considering she was saying those things. Embry chuckled, Bella was seeking for his warmth.
"I don't know how she manages, but i think that's her last straw. You should go cuddle her, mr. space heater." Reyna's eyebrows suggested to him in a teasing manner, and laughed when he glared at her. He knows that she don't know a thing about the supernatural, but with him running a 108 degrees, she was bound to call him that. Also the fact that Bella always call him her personal space heater. He was glad Bella never want to share and was a little possessive.
Reyna stands up, "I think it's time for me to go home. Keep her safe, Embry. You never want to know how strong i am ever. " she teased again as she walked over to her car.
"I will, never would dreamed of it, stay safe Rey!" He called and heard her say 'okay' in a nonchalant tone.
Once her car was out of sight, Embry sighed and looked at Bella, his eyes showed amusement and adoration. He then stepped in his house and to his bedroom to get some sleep with his imprint by his side.

The next week, Bella was busy.
She was on a project making her 'Vampire' journal book. She was only half-way through it when Quil barges in. "Bella!"
"Quil?" She frowned in confusion, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?"
Quil didn't answer as soon as she finished her questions, choosing to catch his breath first before he answered, "It's Embry and Jake!"
She was out of the door even before Quil could explain what was happening. The faint sting in her face and hands was the explanation that she needed then.
When she was out of the office, she let Quil guide her to the beach more closer to the woods, there, they see Sam broke the fight calmly, though they could guess that the boys were glaring at each other. They were then close enough to hear Sam say, "-all the choice go to her! She is not a thing that you can own, do you understand!?"
"Sam! What's happening here?" Bella asked as she break her run into a walk, still panting from the run.
"Bella!" Sam greeted, "I won't tell you, but they will." he glared at the boys, who looked away from meeting any of their eyes.
"Embry.." Her tone was threatening, and he know that if he didn't tell her himself, he won't be getting any kisses until she make a move herself.
"Jacob threatened me and told that he wanted me out of your life." Was what she got from him, but he knew and they knew it was enough explanation from his tone and expression.
"Jacob.." And Jake take that as his cue.
"I like you Bella-"
"And i don't need to hear more!" Bella glared at both boys, "Jake, i know you like me, had a crush on me, but i recommend not continue it and get this in your head that i won't be with you. I love you, as a friend, and that won't change, ever. So stop trying! You'll find someone else- i mean there are many girls in the world! Embry and i are together, forever, and that won't change any time soon, if ever." Jake looked furious, but held it in, not wanting to lash out on Bella. "We were close, and i think of you like a brother. Nothing more than that, and i know, and everyone here know for a fact that that won't ever escalate. So, please, let me go." They all stare at her, and Jake stare down at his feet.
Jacob know that what she said was true. He saw how she was with Embry and they were happy. He didn't want to break that kind of relationship. But he was selfish, he wanted her while she didn't feel anything for him. She had been hinting it all the time to him that she look at him like a brother and a friend, nothing more than family. And yet, he was forcing it on her. That realization hit him like a brick and he suddenly took off to the forest, he didn't want to look at them at the moment, he needed time for himself. And he ran off with waves of emotions coursing through him like a storm, he could feel something changing, even though he didn't know what.
Sam looked back and forth at Bella and where Jake had been before he ran away. He then send a nod to Bella when the something tug at him, a familiar one that always warned him if ever someone was about to phase, a privilege for Alphas, you could say. And when he saw her returned it, he took off after Jacob, leaving Bella, Embry, and Quil behind.
Bella turned to Embry, "And you! You know i love you but when are you going to ever tell me about things that you need?" She sighed as she approaches him.
"Yeah, bro, i know we're a bit torn right now, but I've been your best friend since diaper. I'm here if you need me, bro." Quil told him as he went to sit on a drifted log, He was tired from running from the middle of the rez back to here back and forth. He deserves some rest.
Bella lead Embry towards where Quil sat and sit down beside Embry while Embry sit between them. She let Embry lean on her, "Jake will come to his senses soon, I'm sure. He's just being childish."
Embry sighed, "I should probably said sorry, i kinda broke his nose."
Quil snorted out loud, this had been the first time in weeks he was close to one of his best friends, and he was thankful for his encounter with Sam to seeing Embry and Jake fight, though he prefered them not fighting at all, at least not to the point where one spilled blood. "Should do that." he agreed.
"Well, we should probably have diner together! How about having diner at George's? I heard they added something new on the menu, and maybe we should invite Jake?" Bella keep on rambling to fill in the silence, and they appreciate her.
Beside, they did go to the diner with Jake. Though a little bit awkward, they worked it out.
Jake decided that maybe it won't be so bad to let go of the future of him and Bella. He'll just start anew.

Obviously that didn't go as planned when a red headed rat snoop around the border.

Fontina Ori-chan: This chapter was only for a filler. It had no real significance for the story, that's why it's short and all over the place. Since i don't know exactly how to do this, i mean, I'm a little lost. Hey, can anyone tell me how to get myself a beta reader? i think i need one. For this story and Gíl Café.. Oh, and thank you for coming to read my messy story. This story was good, i had planned some plots, but how i proceeded was the problem with me. That's why i need a BETA reader.
