Supernova

EPOV

I was just in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, when I heard my mother letting in someone. As it turned out it was Quil, begging me to save him from Jacob-sitting duty.


“Man, he’s really driving me up a wall. Since Bella has finally come to her senses and dropped the leech, all he does is talk about ‘Bella this’ or ‘Bella that’.”


“Well, Sam had wanted me to patrol this afternoon…”


“I’ll take care of it.”


“You know, how am I ever going to meet my imprint if I’m never getting out there? Man you really owe me for this one.”


“Thanks Embry.”


He bolted out the door, probably to inform Sam of our switching duties and all. I made in internal groan. It was really starting to bother me that everyone was finding their imprints left and right, and even if Jacob hadn’t imprinted yet, he still had someone that he cared about just as much. Ugh, this was going to be a long day.


I figured why prolong what was going to be a somewhat torturous day and headed over to Jake’s. When I got there it looked like he was trying to sneak his bike out of the shed.


“Jake, what do you think you are doing?”


“Damn it Embry, why can’t you guys just let me go. I know about phasing and I wont even dare try to, but can’t I just go and see her?”


“Jake, I’m just here doing what everyone wanted. We all know how you get and don’t think it would be the wisest if you went and pushed yourself anymore than you do. If you had been normal, those injuries would have killed you. You need your rest.”


“There is no way I’m resting. You and Quil and Sam need to get this father complex out of your head. Bella just confessed that she loved me after forever of waiting and playing it cool, and you expect me to relax?”


“Listen Jake, I’m not really in the mood for this, I can’t tolerate this today. How about if I go and check on her, and give you full detail report when I get back? Would that calm you the fuck down?”


He stood there and contemplated it, then finally looked back at me and said, “Fine.”


“And you’re going to stay here and REST?”


“Yes daddy. Do I need to put away my toys too?”


“Yes as a matter of fact you do. Get that bike back in the shed before someone sees it and thinks I let you drive it.” On that note I turned around and went into the woods where I had to carefully tie everything I was wearing around the strap on my ankle. I shifted and felt the plush forest floor beneath the pads on my feet. I seriously loved traveling this way. Everything around me felt so alive. I felt so alive. Within minutes I was into the woods behind the Newton’s store. I shifted back, brushing away any bits of forest that might be lingering. Once I was clothed, I walked around the side of the building, and through the sliding doors.


When I walked in Bella already had a customer. Man, was she always that pretty? I mean you wouldn’t be seeing her on the next cover of Sport’s Illustrated or anything, besides from obvious reasons, but she just gave you a feeling that this was the type of girl you wanted to introduce to the parents. Or in my case, the parent. Man that was another thing we had in common. Snap out of it man, this was Jake’s girl. I couldn’t do that to him. Instead I waited for the customer to disappear and waited silently behind her. The blond kid looked me over and looked like he was going to say something when I gave him a death glare that instantly silenced him. Once the guy at the register was gone I placed my hands on her hips. I know I shouldn’t have but I just couldn’t help it.


She leaned back into me. Man was Jake lucky. Now I could completely understand what he was going on about every time he started going off on one of his Bella rants. I wanted to do so many inappropriate things to her right then. God, Jake was going to kill me the next time we phased. “Well Bella, it’s nice to see you too.” I had to say something to snap out of it.


My face must have given away what I was thinking about because next I knew she was trying to push me. It looked like she was really trying too, so I decided to play into it, falling back against the register that was next to hers. Then her boss stuck her head out of the office, so Bella covered for herself, while I could feel my grin getting wider. She mentioned something about a break, when the woman told her that she might as well head home because of how dead the store was. She walked over to the time clock and punched herself out. She might be awkward and a bit clumsy when she walks but watching her hips sway as she walked away make my hands long to be against her again. Damn it, Embry, snap out of it! When she made her way back to me, she slapped me. I pretended to wince for effect of the blonde one.


“What was that all about?” She asked as her voice raised a couple of octaves


“Nothing, Jake wanted me to come and see what time you were getting off, I just figured I’d have a little fun while doing it.”


“Why is his phone broken?”


“No he just didn’t want to get you into trouble is all.” Truth be told, I just wanted to get away from him going on and on about her, but now I could completely understand where Jacob was coming from.


“So instead you come down and nearly scare me half to death, and make me push you, which I’m pretty sure that Mrs. Newton wouldn’t have appreciated, had she seen it.”


“Yeah that’s about it, well except that you pushed me of your own free will. You know you could have played along with it.” What I was thinking was that I’d really have loved if she had gone along with it, maybe even leaning into me just another inch or two and she would have known it too.


“Embry, do you really have a death wish? Because as nice and level headed as Jake is, I’m sure he’d have no problem granting it.” Damn she was right. At this point we were already into her truck and heading back into La Push. We sat the ride in silence, me trying to come up with some master plan to keep my life.


Once we pulled into Jake’s driveway I was already jumping out of the truck and running towards the door, which Jake was standing in the middle of. He had a huge smile on his face while terror covered mine.


He must have not noticed my expression right away. “Jeeze, Embry, I tell you to go find out what time she is getting out and you return with her. Nice work.”


“Thanks, but do me a favor okay? Don’t believe anything she says.” I had to get out of there, so I turned right around and bolted into the woods. I didn’t even care about getting out of my clothes when I phased. Mom was going to be pissed, she just bought me those shoes.


I could hear Quil’s thoughts. “Hey weren’t you supposed to be watching….” His voice trailed off once he could see the thoughts of today’s activities racing through my head. “Dude, you’re fucked.”

Okay. SO I know it’s been a while since I have updated, but I was kinda feeling lost about how to do this. Well, that and I got distracted in reading all of the wonderful fics that other people have written. BTW, if anyone has a good fic up that is Bella x Wolf I would love to read it. Also the more reviews I get, the more inspiration I have to write more. See this is how I live my life…. Wake up/Spend time with son/ read fan fics/go to work/come home/ spend more time with my son/ play guitar hero/ read fan fics until I pass out. I felt that I had to finish this chapter to be loyal to my readers. And don’t worry. I feel there is definitely more to be said before this story sees an end. I still have the Irina/Volturi threat to deal with and if anyone has any ideas on how to handle that please let me know. Also on a final note, this will probably be my only non- Bella POV chapter, as I am not comfortable writing in anyone else’s POV. Please let me know how this went though.
