It's Complicated Chapter Twenty Seven
A weekend off from Jacob is just what I needed. I was so thankful for Embry letting me spend the weekend with him and his family. Embry had some explaining to do to his parents; but they thankfully understood.
Why was Embry being so nice to me? He had not been that nice to me since he joined Sam's gang. It was all so confusing. Usually, when people 加入 Sam's gang they do not go back to their 'old' friends.
"Lila, may I come in," Embry asked as he knocked lightly on the door.
"Sure," I 说 as I sat up in bed.
"You know, what I saw Jake do tonight made me start thinking. I see how Jake had changed, and even how I have changed," he said, "I resigned from Sam's gang; if this is how 你 treat people outside the gang then I do not want no part in it!"
"Embry, 你 are back," I 说 as I leaped off my 床, 床上 and hugged him.
"I guess I am," he laughed.
"What about Jake," I asked sadly, "why is he like this? Is he doing drugs; is he drinking? I just cannot 包, 换行 my brain around this!"
"No it is not drugs 或者 alcohol. It is just Sam's way of teaching us, I mean them to be a man," He shrugged, "but I have not ever seen Jake so mad, Lila. I really do not know what has gotten into him."
"Maybe, just maybe he has changed his mind about me," I stated.
"But why," Embry asked confused, "why would he do that?"
"I have no clue," I sighed in frustration, "maybe he hates mentor something I did. Maybe I forgot something that I was suppose to do for him!"
"No, no surely not," he stated.
"Then I have no idea," I said.
"Okay, well, you have school in the a.m so I will let 你 get your rest," Embry said, "goodnight."
"Night, thank you, Embry," I 说 as he smiled and closed the door.
I got up the 下一个 morning and started getting ready for school. Which I was dreading. I am going to be so embarrassed to 显示 up with my face all cut up. Not only from basketball; but from Jacob too.
"Hey Lila," Jasper 说 as I arrived at school.
"Hey hey," I smiled.
"Your face does not look to bad; but I thought 你 only got nailed in the lip and forehead," he 说 a little confused.
"Yeah, I did; but a very long story happened last night," I stated.
"I am so sorry," Jasper 说 shocked.
"It is okay. I am staying with one of my old friends," I said.
"Did Jake do this to you," he asked concerned.
"Shh, I do not want anybody to know," I said.
"And Billy is letting Jake get away with this," Jasper asked as he got mad.
"I do not know," I 说 as I shrugged, "I went to a 老友记 house for the weekend."
"If 你 need anything, anything at all just come to my house," he said, "anything 你 want!"
"Thank you," I said.
"Do 你 still want to come over and have ASL practice," Jasper asked hopeful.
"ASL," I asked confused.
"American Sign Language," he 说 laughing a bit.
"Oh right, I would have to ask Embry if it is okay," I stated, "what is new with you?"
"Nothing," he 说 kind of disappointed.
"Hey, be thankful," I 说 as I pointed to my face.
"Right," he laughed, "what did 你 do to make him so mad?"
"I really have no idea," I 说 as I really thought about last night, "but I have to worst memory ever! Oh, it was right after 你 left. I asked him if it would be hard to turn down the tv a little."
"He..hit...you over...that," he asked stunned.
"Umm," I 说 as I thought about it more, "he told me to go to my room and shut up!"
"That is still not a good enough reason," Jasper 说 upset.
"It is fine; it is done and over with," I said, "it is not like I could get a restraining order against my own step-brother; that stuff just does not work out!"
"Right, but still," he said.
"It is fine, Jasper," I said, "you seem 更多 upset then me."
"I am just worried about your safety. That is all," he said.
"I will be okay," I said.
"Okay, but remember, if 你 need anything-" Jasper 说 as I cut him off.
"Come to your house," I 说 as I finished his sentence.
"Right," he laughed.
