Chapter 30: The Truth.

Gabriella's POV

Me and Embry continued to work on the bracelets in silence until his mom came in and told us to go home because we had done enough for the day. The shop hadn't really been all that busy, with the occasional customer every now and then, but nevertheless, it was pretty quiet and peaceful. Embry still looked worried and I wanted nothing but to ease his pain. I waited for him to tell me what was wrong so I could fix it, but he never did.

I kept stealing glances at him while I tried to focus on the task we were doing. I didn't understand why that simple question had bothered him so much; I just wanted to see if he knew why I was having these weird dreams. I had no intention of making him feel uncomfortable; if I knew how bothered he'd be about the dream I wouldn't have opened my big mouth about it at all.

We walked out of the workshop and into the main building.

"Well, the shop's closing soon; you two should probably head home. Embry's already told me about you staying over at the house for a while and its fine by me. I'm going to go the Sue's house tonight so you'll have the house to yourselves." Tiffany explained.

I couldn't help but blush when she wiggled her eyebrows as she said we were going to be alone in the house. I squeezed Embry's hand absent-mindedly and he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead as to reassure me.

"We'll be fine mom; I'll be on my best behaviour with Gab tonight." Embry said, giving me a caring smile.

"You better be." She warned playfully before heading the other side of the counter.

Embry glanced down at me as she left and frowned when he saw me studying his features. Now that I had a closer look at him, he really did have the same eyes as the wolf I dreamed of. I can't believe I only noticed that now. But then again, I wasn't really paying close attention before. I tried to reason with myself about this; it could just be all a coincidence. These kind of things happened everyday to people all over the world right? I was just letting my imagination get the best of me.

"You ready to go?" he asked softly and I nodded my head.

He led me out of the shop, my hand in his, and we climbed into his car. The ride was slightly uncomfortable; like he was trying to think of something to say. He pulled up outside the house and we sat there for a few minutes in silence, too lost in our own thoughts to say anything. I was trying to think of the best thing to say to him right now so I wouldn't upset him any further than I already had.

"Gab," he sighed, "we need to talk." He announced, finally breaking the silence that loomed the car. His eyes burned right into mine and I found it hard to look away from them.

I looked at him for a while and hesitantly nodded my head. I felt butterflies in my tummy; what could he possibly want to talk about? I had questions of my own to ask him about but I kept my mouth shut for the meantime. I was about to open my car door but Embry beat me to it. I was surprised and shocked at how he had gotten there so fast; almost at an inhuman speed.

I wrapped my arms around myself as Embry kept a distance away from me; it bothered me to no end. Was he going to break up with me or something? If he was why was he making this so difficult for both of us? He started entering the woods and I stopped in my tracks. This seemed to catch his attention and he looked back at me.

"What's wrong?" he asked anxiously.

"Why are we going into the woods? It's late, it might be dangerous. We don't know what kind of wild animals could be lurking in these woods." I explained shivering as a slight wind blew across my body, causing goosebumps to appear all over my body.
