Que Quowle (Stay With Me Forever)

When you came along,
I wasn't even looking for anyone.
As I got to know you,
I saw you as a great friend.
You made me laugh from the heart and see things in a whole different way.
With you I can speak without wondering what you might think.
I can be me and you can be you.
You learned my weakness and encouraged me to grow.
You found my strength and challenged me to become even stronger.
You helped me to see myself as a good and beautiful person
And just when I least expected it,
You showed me exactly how I wanted to be loved.
I've heard of True Love but I never knew I could find it in you
I thought I would search to the deepest part of life
I searched a little but I wasn't too patient to notice
To notice a good thing that lies on the surface
You called my name and I'm glad I answered
For this I say, " I Love you in return"

Growing up in an abusive house was not easy. Every day my father would go out to a bar and come home with a black eye, intoxicated to the point where he could barely walk straight. He would take his anger on the world out on her by beating me to the point where I could barely stand straight. My mother died when I was no older than three in a sudden car crash, I still misses her every day. I'm moving to La Push though in a few days to start a life with my foster parents Rose and David, but I had to leave everything back in New York; my only friend and my past life.
My name is Maxine Felix, I'm 15 almost 16. I'm torn down but still standing and my life suddenly changes when I meet Embry Call, the handsome, mysterious brown eyed stranger who has a life all his own that will maybe also change mine.
