Chapter 16
“Ella!” Embry yelled following after me.
I walked fast but not as fast as I wanted to go but I knew I couldn’t give away what I was right in the middle of town. I walked with my head down and my arms crossed. If I was a werewolf I would have phased about 30 steps back.
“Aella! Stop for a minute!” Embry yelled again.
I turned on my heels, I was so mad I could hit something.
“Can’t you take a hint Embry!” I screamed.
Embry froze unsure of what to do next. I didn’t care that he looked hurt I was too upset he betrayed me. Jake ran over to us by the look on his face he was just as mad as I was.
“That was uncalled for!” Jake said in a stern voice
I stood on my tip toes so I was in Jake’s face.
“Oh boo whoo she doesn’t have the same feeling for you Jake! Get over it! It’s not like you imprinted on her!” I yelled.
I stood back and assessed the damage. Jake looked hurt like he was going to cry. Embry was confused and I could tell he didn’t like this one bit. I looked at little farther back to see Bella in tears. Good she deserved it. I walked to the woods and started to run. I didn’t want to talk to any of the wolves or even my brother. I didn’t even want to talk to Jasper. I made my way around the woods until I found a nice creek and sat down. I had to come up with a reason why Victoria was after me and my family.
“Ella?” I heard someone whisper.
I opened my eyes groggily. I guess I fell asleep.
“Embry?” I asked.
“Yes, Love, it’s me” he said rubbing my shoulder.
I sat up and looked around. It looked to be about seven at night which means I’ve only been here for an hour. I moved my gaze to Embry. He still looked confuse like he was waiting for me to snap again.
“I meant what I said” I said sitting up straight.
Embry frowned.
“If you feel that way” he mumbled.
I looked away from him. I figured Liam would be worried so I stood up and began to follow the sent home.
“Don’t go” Embry whined
I ignored him and kept walking.
“Ella, I know something is wrong” he said
I kept walking refusing to listen or look at him.
“God dammit Aella!” he said placing his arms around me so I couldn’t move.
I struggled against him.
“Put me down!” I yelled.
“Tell me what’s wrong” he begged.
He gave me a puppy dog look but there was no way I was going to sugar coat what I had to say.
“You’re my boyfriend, MINE!” I said.
He looked at me funny.
“When something like that happens I want you to take MY side, not Jake’s especial not Bella’s MINE.” I said
He looked confused again.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“The next time Jake is about to rip my throat out for yelling at his girlfriend I want you to stick up for me” I said.
“First of all I would never let Jake touch you and second maybe Bella’s right in a way, maybe Victoria is after the both of you?” He said.
As much as he was right I still wanted to be mad at him. I glared at him for a while.
“Mine.” I said before walking away again.
Embry followed silently. I wasn’t going to tell him anything now. I knew what Victoria was after, and it had to do with both me and Bella. But first want my boyfriend to start acting like my boyfriend.
