Right before I close my eyes
The only thing that's on my mind
Been dreaming that you feel it too
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you

About a week had past since I moved to La Push and I've been having the best time ever. I met up with my old friend Jacob Black, we weren't super close but he was still someone good to be around.
"Tierney, you remember Embry Call and Quil Ateara right?" Jacob reintroduced. "Yeah, as much as I tried to forget" I teased the two boys "You definitely missed us, you can't even deny it" Embry asked, pulling me into a playful headlock ruffling my hair, pretending to be offended by my choice of words.
"Of course I missed the two of you, even though you can be incredibly annoying when you want to be" "Well you're not getting rid of us that easily, so you're stuck with us for now" Quil said putting an arm around me in a friendly manner. I've known the pair as long as I've known Jacob so I was very familiar with the two boys.
Classes had been kicking my ass, but thankfully I only had a semester left before I graduated. My focus hasn't always been the best and most of the time it was easy for me to get distracted so a couple of nights a week I would barricade myself in my room and study. I was working on my ADHD but sometimes it did get the better of me.
"Jacob has a major crush on this girl, Bella. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't meet her soon. She's dating this guy but he can't seem to grasp that and will do anything for her to notice him" embry muttered quietly to me whilst everyone else was doing their own thing. I didn't know many people and Leah was off doing whatever and Seth had his own school work to get on with leaving Embry and I to hang out. I wasn't complaining, he's becoming a pretty good friend of mine. Although I don't fully trust him yet, he's done nothing for me to distrust him.
"I see and had she told him she doesn't see him that way" "Yes many times but also giving him mixed signals because one minute he'd be completely ignored and the next she'd be all over him" "I see. Doesn't sound like someone I want to be around"
That exact same day, by coincidence, Bella happened to be around and although she seemed a nice girl, I wasn't sure if I fully trusted her. Actually I was sure and I knew I didn't trust her a great deal. Not necessarily with me but around Jake. It was clear he loved her, if that's even the word for it and it was clear that she was using that to her advantage. She didn't reiterate his feelings and I felt sorry for the poor sod. Although he was his own worse enemy, I'll give Bella her dues, she has been clear about how much she loved her other beau.
Embry was telling me more about Sam. Said he was a leader of this cult? He's apparently already manipulated two guys, Jared and Paul into joining. He knew he didn't want to join.
"I wouldn't worry about it too much, you have Jacob and Quil, they'd look out for you as will I" I tried my best to reassure him but he didn't seem to convinced. To be honest I wasn't sounding all that convinced either. But that was because I didn't know the full Situation at hand.
"I'm Bored!! Let's go do something? Bowling? Haven't done that in a while, If you're not scared to lose to a girl?" I taunted Embry. Quil had to go home, something to do with his mom bugging him about overdue homework he needed to do, rightfully so, so it was just Embry and I. "Oh you're so on! Be prepared to lose!" he pretends to flex his arm muscles, to which I proceeded to mock him for and flex my non existent arm muscles. He stuck his middle finger up at me and I just laughed. Being around him was like a breath of fresh air, but in a brotherly type of way. You could tell he protected those he held close to him and would do anything for those he loved.
Bowling was an epic fail on my behalf. Of course I lost, both games. I was truly ashamed of myself. "I let you win" I grumbled as we walked out of the building! "Nuh uh, I won fair and square\! I told you, you'd lose now pay up" Yes we had made a bet, but in my defence I thought I was pretty good at bowling, evidently he was better... "Alright alright, as I promised" I slapped 10 bucks into his hand and he grinned widely as I rolled my eyes. I'm being bled dry, first I had to pay for both games and now I'm having to cough up 10 bucks because I led myself into a false sense of security. Can't blame anyone but myself. On top of that I drove us here.
"Keep rolling your eyes you might find a brain back there" he teased. "speak for yourself! You'd be lucky to find anything in that head of yours" I knocked on his head lightly whilst making a knocking on wood sound with my mouth.
"Hey! How was your day?"I asked Leah as I jumped onto her bed landing with a thud. "Eh could have been better, could have been worse! Was pretty uneventful, Yours?" "Embry and I hung out all day, everyone else was doing whatever. I lost 10 bucks because I got too cocky and challenged him to two games of bowling" I said grumbling the last sentence "You and Embry huh?" She smirked. She didn't know him that well but knew of him. "No it's definitely not like that. I only view him in a brotherly way. Besides you know I couldn't put myself through another relationship after how the last one ended" she nodded silently understanding.
We had both gone through tremendous heartache recently and I wasn't willing to put myself out there at the moment whilst she yearned to find her soulmate. Not to say I didn't want to find the person I was destined to be with for the rest of my life, but it still scared me nonetheless and I was truly content with just doing what I want to do in the mean time. I wasn't actively looking for someone.
