Chapter 11: Embry

Chapter 11: Embry.

Gabriella's POV

I felt numb. How could he do this to me? And how could I do this to myself? All I could remember was Embry taking me home and laying me down on my bed as he said comforting words next to my ear while rubbing my hair soothingly.

He explained to my parents what had happened; well what he thought had happened because I hadn't told him anything apart from Seth breaking up with me. I was currently sitting on my bed listening to Last Kiss by Taylor Swift. Asia had called Rachel, Alex and Stevie when she got home from school and told them what happened and since then they hadn't stopped calling or texting me. I just wish they would all leave me alone.

I get that they cared about me but I needed some time alone, to just think things through and to get over... him. Thinking about him brought new tears to my eyes but I quickly wiped them away. I kept telling myself I was stronger than this and that I would not cry over some stupid boy who broke my heart because he thought he had found someone better. Well, it was his loss. But just because me and him weren't together anymore didn't mean that I was going to stop being friends with Leah. She was the only girl friend that I had here in La Push and I was not going to lose her.

I suddenly heard a knock on my door and my mom poked her head through.

"Honey, dinner is ready downstairs. But if you want I can bring it up here for you."

"I'm not hungry mom. I'm ok, but thanks for asking."

"Ok, but if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here, you know that right? I've been through this before too." When I nodded my head, she continued. "Good. Well I'm going down now ok."

"Ok." My phone suddenly beeped and I saw four new text messages and eleven missed. One from Rachel which said:

Hey Gab, you ok. I'm worried about you. You haven't called back, but if you need to rest that's ok just call me back tomorrow.

One from Stevie which said:

Yo! If Danny and Josh need help beating up that idiot I'm ready with my baseball bat in hand. I got your back.

One from Alex which said:

Cuz, I know what you're going through. I went through the same thing with Mason but its all ok now. It'll be ok for you too. Don't worry. Love you. Xx

And one from... Embry? I never gave him my number. But it said:

Hey Gab you ok? Your sister Asia gave me your number because I'm really worried about you. I didn't want to leave you alone but your mom said it would be best to give you some space to think. If you need anyone to talk to, I'm right here just call or text or if you want I can come to your house. Take care, Gab :)

I was touched that Embry had texted me and it gave me butterflies in my stomach. GOD! Stop it! You just got your heart broken today and you're already getting butterflies from another guy? Wise up.

I then heard a small knock on my door and I yelled, "Come in!"

Jasper then walked through the door in his Spiderman pj's and walked up to my bed.

"Gabby, are you ok? I don't want you to cry, it makes me sad." He said with pouty lips.

I smiled at him and lifted him up onto my bed. "Yes I'm ok. I'm glad that I have people like you to cheer me up when I'm sad. Don't worry about me anymore. So how was your day in nursery?" I asked forcing a smile.

His eyes suddenly lit up. "I met a girl in school today." He said shyly.

"Oh really? What's her name?"
