I wake up at 5:30 the next morning. I put on a pair of jean shorts and an old Quileute shirt that Billy gave me a few years ago that still fits and a pair of black rubber flip flops.
I leave Dad a note saying that I was hanging with Quil all day, which wasn't entirely a lie. I grab my keys and head out.
When I get to Sam's house, I walk in the open front door only to hear a bunch of giggles and laughs coming from another room.
"What did I get myself into?" I mumble to myself.
"You just got yourself into a 24/7 party!" Embry says from behind me. He grabs my wrist and pulls me into the dining room.
"Alex, that you?" a soft but firm woman's voice sounds from the kitchen.
"Yup," I say before plopping down on the couch next to Paul.
"Foods ready," Emily says a few minutes later. I wait until the crowd is in front of me to get up. I grab four pancakes, some fruit and a water bottle.
"Ready to go pipsqueak?" Paul asks me when we're done.
"Sure, as long as you don't call me that!" I punch him in the arm. He laughs and fakes being hurt. "Oh shut up you retard!"
Paul, Leah, Embry and I all walk outside and quickly phase and start patrols.
A few hours later-
Me: [So we basically just run around for hours trying to catch any kind of unfamiliar scent?]
Embry: [Pretty much.]
Leah: [Its harder than it sounds though.]
Paul: [Oh don't be a hard ass Leah. Patrolling is easy! Waking up, not so much.]
Me: [No kidding! It took six alarms, twenty texts, and lots of food to convince me to actually get out of bed!]
Embry: [Sounds like a good morning to me!]
Jake: [My group's taking over, go get yourself a some food.]
Paul: [Finally!!!]
I roll my eyes and run back to where my clothes are. I phase and put my clothes on.
"Food!!!" Embry screams and jumps on my back as I walk in the clearing if Sam and Emily's back yard.
"Get off me!" I shrug him off.
"Duck!" Leah yells, and I drop to the ground and Paul flys over me and head first into a tree. Embry, Leah and I burst into a fit of laughter.
"After all this time, and you're still dumb?!" I ask between giggles. Without hesitation, Paul throws me over his shoulder and takes off running with Embry and Leah right behind him.
"Paul!!! Where are you going?!" I ask rather loud in his ear.
"It's a surprise!" He says before laughing. He's headed toward the cliffs.
"Paul Lahote!!! Put me down or so help me god!!! You will never be able to have children!!!" I squeal.
"Nope!" He says.
"Don't say I didn't warn you!" I say before letting a super hard kick fly toward his crotch. He almost immediately drops me and falls.
"What happened?" Embry asks when he and Leah catch up.
"I warned him!" I say before grabbing his arm and helping Leah and Embry drag him back to Emily and Sam's.
