Embry Call | Scare

By : pennylanefics | Tumblr

-----

Your leg bounced up and down as you waited for your phone timer to go off. Embry walks in with a glass of water for you, taking a seat next to you on the bed.

"Is it ready yet?" He asks. You shake your head and he wraps an arm around your shoulder. You take a drink from the glass and take a few deep breaths.

"You know whatever happens, you'll be okay," he whispers. "I'll be right here helping you."

"But what if I am? I don't want a child, especially not with him. I just can't believe we were so reckless and forgot a condom."

Embry hated this situation. You were in his arms, crying, terrified that you were pregnant with some other guy's child. A guy who couldn't give two shits about you, who only wanted to sleep with you, hence the friends with benefits situation.

When you told him your period was late, he flipped out, saying that it was your fault, and that he wanted nothing to do with it, that this wasn't supposed to happen; basically putting all the blame on you.

So you ran to the one person you knew wouldn't judge you, Embry. You two have been friends for a long time, even after he phased and admitted that he was a wolf. Things actually got better between the two of you, and it was great.

"Don't beat yourself up over this. There are many things to do if you happen to be, and you know I'll be right next to you the whole time."

"There's only one thing to do if I am," you whisper. Embry sighs and pulls you closer, resting his head on yours. He begins to say something, but your phone goes off, interrupting him. Your eyes widen and you look at Embry, tears filling them immediately.

"Hey, it's okay. Do you want me to look for you?" You take a moment to decide before nodding. He stands and walks out of your room to the bathroom down the hall, about fifteen seconds passing as he examines the sticks.

When he returns, his hands are empty, making you grow nervous. You stand, your hands flying to your face in fear.

"They're negative," he calmly tells you. "You can go check and make sure for yourself, if you want." You felt a huge weight lift from your shoulders as you run down the hall. You immediately pick the sticks up, finding that both indeed say they are negative.

"Thank fuck," you breathe out, finally cracking a laugh for the first time today. Embry smiles sadly and looks down.

"Please tell me you're not going to see him again," Embry mumbles. Your eyebrows furrow together in confusion and you take a seat next to him.

"Why does it matter to you?" He scoffs, his upset demeanor disappearing and a slightly angry one replacing it.

"You're joking, right? You just sat here and cried over if you were pregnant with his baby, after he kept telling you it was your fault and he felt nothing towards you, and you wanna go back to him now that everything is okay? What if this happens again and the tests aren't negative?" You scoot away from him, shocked at how emotional he suddenly got.

"I'm sorry, I'm allowed to do what I want to with my life," you stand, defending yourself.

"I understand that, but there are other people who can give you exactly what he gives you, all while caring for you and loving you." You narrow your eyes at him, but he has a different reaction.

He sighs dramatically, as if he revealed something he wasn't supposed to.

"Em?" You ask after a minute or so of silence.

"I like you, hell, I love you," he admits, raising from the bed to face you. "And it really fucking hurts when you would gladly run into the arms of a man who hurt you so much and dumped you like you were nothing!"

You were stunned silent. How come this never came up?

"Embry, I-"

"I know, you're going to do what you want, and I mean nothing more to you than a friend," he finishes your sentence, though that's not what you were going to say at all.

"I was going to say, how come you never told me?" You step closer to him and place your hand on his chest.

"Because you had him. When I finally realized that I do love you, you had started talking to him, and eventually became friends with benefits, but I knew you liked him more than that. You seemed happy, and I didn't want to ruin that."

"You could have told me because I've always thought you were so cute," you admit. Embry raises his eyebrows.

"You have?" Your head nods in response, your other hand trailing up his chest to rest on his neck.

"Mhm. And honestly, I'd much rather have a friends with benefits type of situation with you rather than a guy who has no interest in me, and honestly doesn't even care about my pleasure."

"He didn't care about that?" Embry gasps in shock.

"Nope. Only his."

"God, why did you stay with him?" You shrug and look down between your bodies, feeling slightly embarrassed that it carried on for so long.

"Hey," he whispers, tilting your chin up with his finger. "I'm not judging you. I just can't believe you've gone on so long without being taken care of like you deserve." Embry's eyes darken with lust as you lean up to kiss him.

"Show me what it's like, Embry," you breathe out when his lips travel to your neck. He pulls away and pushes you down on the bed, hovering over you.

"Gladly, my love."
