Chapter 36: Space.

Gabriella's POV

"Please Gab! Just leave me alone right now. I need to be alone, you don't understand!" Alex yelled through the bathroom door.

I sighed and turned to everyone who was crowding the hallway. I looked at each and every one of them who were all staring at me. I raised an eyebrow at them.

"Why is everybody staring at me for?" I asked confused.

They immediately looked away and nobody answered my question. We all kind of just stood outside the bathroom door listening to Alex's cries while trying to figure out what to do next. But I knew what needed to be done...

"Guys, how about you let me talk to her. Just go downstairs and finish packing away; I'll call you guys later once she's calmed down." I suggested.

Teresa looked hesitant but went down with everybody else.

Once everyone was gone, I saw Embry stick his head out from my door. He looked concerned and walked out of my room to wrap his arms around me. I sighed and leaned into his warm chest, wrapping my arms around his own waist.

"I need to go talk to her about you guys Emb; I'm the only she'll open up about this right now." I explain.

"I understand. Go do what you have to do; I'll be waiting in your bedroom for you." he whispers gently, kissing my forehead in assurance.

I nod at him and knock on the bathroom door again while he walks back into the bedroom.

"Alex please, I understand what you're going through right now. Trust me." I plead one more time.

"What do you mean you understand?" she asks.

"Just open up the door and we'll talk."

Soon, the door opened, revealing the tear stained face of Alex. I immediately pulled her into a hug and she burst out crying again.

"Ok, I don't need your tears to stain my shirt." I teased, gently pushing her away from me and pulling her to sit with me on the floor.

She tried to laugh while more tears overflowed from her eyes. I rubbed her back comfortingly.

"Ok, so what happened between you and Seth that you never want to see him again?" I asked, pretending to be curious. Even though I already knew what happened, I wanted to find out why she had freaked out so much.

"You won't believe me if I told you the truth." she answered, burying her face in her tucked up knees.

"Try me. You might be surprised with what you find out." I urged on.

"Well ok... but Seth's a... umm... werewolf." she answered quietly.

"And?"

She looked at me like I had two heads. "You're not scared by that fact?"

"Nope. I already know." I replied simply.

Her mouth dropped and formed an 'O' shape. "What? How? When?"

"Ok, slow down. I know because of Embry."

"Embry? But I thought they couldn't tell you unless they imprin-." she began until realization dawned on her face. "You're Embry's imprint aren't you?"

I nodded. "Yes. And I'm proud to be his imprint." I said smiling.

"But- but- he cheated on you! Remember him and Jasmine! And don't you hate being tied down? It's like they're forcing you to love them; you don't get a choice." she asked, obviously confused by the new information I was giving her.
