September 2nd.

I LAID IN EMBRY'S bed sideways with my legs sprawled out over his abdomen as he laid straight back onto the bed with his hands caressing my legs carefully. The house was calm, his mom was gone and we had the house to ourselves.
"Wanna go do something?," I asked "Yeah what?," he said in return. I hummed and suggested a few things and he agreed to go hiking on the trails in the woods behind my house. I hadn't been up there but a few short times and had never explored them to the full extent plus they were just about the only trails he and his friends had never been on.
"EMBRY" I exclaimed as he shoved me but not heard enough to make me fall down the hill. We had found a huge field as we went off of one of the trails. It wasn't like anything I'd ever seen in Oregon. The nature was beautiful but I would have to say the Washington nature had it beat. The grass was mildly tall and seemed unkept but nonetheless I had this urge to grab Embry and pull him down into it with me. So I did. His eyes were fixed on the sky so he wouldn't expect me, I came up behind him and pulled him down to the ground. Laying beneath me he smiled "Get over here" he pulled me closer and flipped us so that he was on top of me now. He kissed my lips slow and gentile, I ran my hands down his back, slipped them into his tank top and ran my nails along his back. He hummed and pulled away from my lips to trail his own down my neck. Embry's breath was hot against my skin but still managed to send chills running down throughout my entire body. His lips feathered down my neck starting with my jawline going up to my ear then back down my jawline and they slowly made their way down the v-neck of my shirt. His hands gripped the maroon material pulling it down to gain more access and he suctioned his lips to the skin between my breasts. When he was done he pulled my shirt up to kiss down my stomach and slowly played with the waistband of my joggers. The kisses to my stomach were so light and slow I barely felt the fanning of his breath, he then pulled his hands from my waistband and looked up at me. I could see it in his eyes that he had been teasing me that entire time.
Blush spread across my face from the me with of last night as Embry walked towards my car after seeing me pull into to school with the others following behind him. Embry hugged me as I stepped out of my car and kissed my cheek then I turned to the guys: did my handshake with Paul Lahote and side hugged Jake.
"Your boyfriends a dick by the way" my newfound best friend outside of the boys Mara Blackrock. I turned my head to her in confusion as she sat down at the lunch table and asked her why. She explained to me that he walked passed her and accidentally bumped her but didn't see her so he didn't apologize. I rolled my eyes and told her to sit her ass down. I say with my thoughts buried into my history book studying for a test that i absolutely could not fail when I was dragged out of my focus by the sound of hushed whispers behind me "According to the history Embry should be next." another boy hummed and said "Yeah maybe he's next but when is the real question." I recognized these voices. They belong to Jared and Paul. What we're they talking about? Next for what? When what? What history? This peaked my interest but I never minded it anyways at least to the best of my ability which had been stretched thin and this overheard conversation would run around in my mind constantly for weeks but I never asked any of them what they had meant.
Later that week I had promised Byron I'd take him to see a movie he had been wanting to and so I did. I reached the popcorn to Byron and gave him his ticket, we sat down in one of the middle rows, not too far and not too close. What I hadn't realized when we sat down though was that I had sat just one row in front of a boy I had went to school with Quill Aetera who happened to be friends with Embry and was also there with Jake. I felt something be thrown at the back of my head and when I turned around I saw those two very famous faces and they just laughed while I rolled my eyes but something seemed off with Jake. Jake was almost always happy and in a good mood but tonight's happy mood was a show and I could tell. The women in my family had empathic tendencies, I saw the glow of his heart through his clothes, it glowed in an orange tent like it had been hurt and I could sense a small feeling of heart break. My face scrunched in confusion at these feelings. Being an empath meant I felt his feelings too much stronger than any regular person without these tendencies and my chest began to rise with these new feelings. How was he carrying this around without letting it show at least a little bit?
After the movie I put Byron in my car and walked over to Jakes truck before he and Quill left. I sparked up the conversation by asking " Are doing okay Jake?" He looked at me with confusion but it wasn't sincere " Yeahhh?" he responded almost as if he was unsure of his own answer. He looked at me and I saw his chest begin to heave just a little bit faster " No you aren't." He laughed it off and asked why I'd say that which led me to believe even more that he really wasn't okay. He was biting his tongue. I could see it on his face that he wanted to say something but didn't let himself "Don't lie to me. You can tell me you know I just wanna make sure you're okay." his face then contorted into an upset figuration and my feelings began to change. He was now angry, hurt and jealous all at the same time but not rightfully. "Yeah but you didn't care when you started dating my best friend." He gritted at me. His words felt like salt in a fresh opened wound and they didn't make any sense at all. Did this mean Jake had, had feelings for me? But he didn't show it? I never even suspected it and I could've sworn that he secretly hated because of the way he'd tense up whenever I was around. Nothing made any sense. Did this mean I was the reason he has felt these big emotions this whole night? I couldn't handle it all and just looked at him with a surprised and hurt look in my eyes as tears began to run up my waterline. I quickly walked back to my car where my little brother was sat playing a game by himself, I leaned against the headrest of my seat feeling unable to breathe.

What happens now? Would they forget about this and just let it go or would she confront Jake?
