Emberly Johnsonn | A Love Story Never Told

Chapter Twelve

"Let's go walk the shore line, Emberly you want to join us?" I shook my head towards Bella, not wanting to be a third wheel further. Just like that they walked off leaving her alone with the two boys. Embry just gawked at her, while Quil stared off at the other people on the beach.

I started playing a game on my phone, slightly bothered by the constant staring. "Can you not stare at me?" I quickly asked and he quickly looked away. Looking up for a second Quil and Embry were now staring at each other wide eyed before sneaking a few looks at me.

"Um, what is wrong with you two?" They were acting too much like creeps right now. "Nothing!" Both of them shouted before running off to join the other boys, which included that guy that grabbed my arm. I guess I'm all alone now, that's always fun.

I opened the notes app on my phone and started to type down some story ideas. Then I just stared out at the water, hearing all the sounds of it flowing. Bella was walking with Jacob, I wondered about how Edward would feel about it.

Every time he saw them together; he'd always give them both a look of disapproval and anger. Who could blame him though? His girlfriend constantly with and flirting with another guy. Even if they were just in the same room but not near each other.

I rolled my eyes seeing them start to nudge each other. My eyes then moved around eyeing my surroundings and landed on that guy. He was well built, not like Emmett's body frame, but he was muscular. I couldn't really peel my eyes away.

Something about him pulled me in. Almost the same as how there was existent drawing me towards Emmett. But what could that even mean? I don't even know him and yet feel something more is there. A pair eyes were now on me, a girl that was over there.

Wait, is that his girlfriend? How long have I been staring? Did he notice me looking at him?

I whipped my head around to a different direction. Please say she wouldn't come over here to confront me for almost drooling at the sight of her possible boyfriend. Suddenly, my leg started burn and I realized that my fingernails were scratching at my skin.

A habit of mine, that I thought finally stopped when I ended everything with Ross. But I guess it hasn't stopped and it making it's way back into my life. I didn't want that, my heart started to race remembering the terrible things he has tried to do to me, said to me.

I snapped my eyelids shut trying to regulate my breathing. Soon I stood up and started to make my way to the truck. I needed to calm myself down, and they meant away from others. Especially Bella, she didn't know how he treated me.

Actually, no one knew. Which is how I intended to keep it and nobody needed to know. I didn't want people to know I was in a toxic relationship with someone. He was good looking on the outside, but the inside he was a monster.

My fingers entangled into my hair pulling at it, just at the very thought of it. I remember when he slapped me for refusing to have sex with him. That made him pissed off, I told him that I wasn't ready for that.

In which led to the constant physical abuse each time I refused. One day, he tried to force me into it and almost succeeded in committing rape. My body shuttered in fear that he may harm me again if we ever run into one another.

Tears ran down my face, good thing there was no makeup to ruin. Someone opened the door of the truck where I sat with my head in my knees hiding my face. "You okay?" That voice sounded familiar. Oh my god, it was that guy-

My thoughts were interrupted when a hand landed on my shoulder, I tensed. Words were barely audible as I tried to calmly reply. "yes..." I squeezed my arms tighter around my legs. Why is he here and touching me? And why'm I letting him touch me?

He didn't say anything more and sat at the bottom ledge of the floor board. I could feel his body heat radiating even from a distance. Slowly, I brought eyes up to see he was staring off at the beach. My breaths finally started to regulate, and my tears stopped flowing.

"So uh, who are you exactly?" His head turned over his shoulder after I spoke, breaking the silence. "Sam Uley, and may I ask your name?" Wait so is he in the Quileute Tribe like Jacob? I pushed the thought aside before replying a bit shyly, "Emberly-"

My words paused a brief moment, "Johnsonn." Something inside me questioned why I paused. I was curious if he was also descent from the tribe but that would be weird to randomly ask.

History is my favorite subject and I loved learning about tribe histories. But they haven't taught us about the Quileute Tribe yet and I wasn't so sure they would. Most people were more drawn to art or musical subjects.

My eyes spotted Bella and Jacob heading this way. "Anyways you okay?" Why was he so concerned about if I was alright? I nodded, "Just had a little bad moment that's all." I twisted my hair nervously.

He stood up and his hand came up to my face and wiped the tears still there. My body froze in its place and he ran off to join his friends. Just as my ride and her basically second boyfriend walked up.

Jacob eyed my curiously, "What did he want?" The driver side door opened as I responded, "Nothing." His arms crossed not believing a damn word but didn't question further.

"I'll drop Jake off first and then head back to your house Em." Bella fastened her seat belt before starting up the truck and drove off.
