Chapter Nine =]

I’d never really understood why people would want to break the rules and cause damage to places. I guess I’d just seen my Mom drunk and smashing up our house too many times. But racing across the school field, tearing up each blade of grass with my bike, with Sam the schools troublemaker, it felt kind of right. Not like I was breaking the rules and being reckless, but like I had every right to be here. Sam grinned as she splattered the science block with mud, and I grinned with her, she was such a free spirit. I was a little more careful, but I wasn’t thinking completely straight. I didn’t want to I liked the slight blur my thoughts and the world around me had acquired. It blocked the pain of my old family wanting me dead and my own Mom not telling me who my Dad was. But the pain of my whole stupid existence was hard to disguise. Only one emotion could disguise the pain well enough. Anger.
I’d never been an angry person, even as a teenager. But anger suited me fine at that moment.
When the field was painted mud brown, we sat in the centre picking at stray pieces of grass. Sam had made it clear that she didn’t want to do all the lovey dovey hand holding and other romantic things that I’d always imagined ‘couples’ doing, but that was fine by me. I didn’t like the word ‘couple’ or being labelled as one, so that suited me just fine.
I was deep in thought, so when something ice cold pressed into my skin I jumped a foot into the air, before I realised it was the palm of Sam’s hand pressing into my chest. Everything felt so cold to me now.
She laughed loudly. “Little on edge there Embry?” Her hand snapped quickly form my chest “I was just seeing how fast your heart was going. I’m surprised you’re not having a heart attack, is 100,000 beats a minute healthy?” she said playfully. I smirked, my heart racing even faster as I wondered how I was going to do this. I edged my self closer to her, not letting my eyes meet hers. My cheeks were glowing hot, as I realised what a total prat I must look. But before I could think of how to attract her attention to my lips, a cold rough finger was under my chin and quickly pulling my face up. Sam didn’t stare dreamily into my eyes; she didn’t slowly pull my face to hers, thankfully. Before I could blink her face was an inch from mine her lips pressing sharply against mine. Her hand racked threw my hair, tugging at the knots making me wince slightly. I felt the heat pulsing down my spine. I fought the shaking by sliding my arms round Sam’s tiny waist, and pulling her closer so she was pressed tightly against my chest. I felt her flinch at my heat, but still she grabbed onto my neck pulling herself closer, and suddenly I was staring up at her face. She was beautiful, all her features small and neat, apart from her eyes. They were big, and round, and painted a beautiful shade of chocolate-brown. The light danced off them, and I was mesmerised by the swirling colours, her eyes were the most beautiful part of her face. But I could see the tears and the agonising pain, just behind her eyelids. I stared up at her eyes, wishing I could take the pain away.
Her lips left mine suddenly, but before I could say anything, her leg hooked around my waist, she pulled her self up so she was leaning over me, her body locked with mine. My heart was hammering so hard, I didn’t hear the footsteps up from behind us. Until, that was, Jared spoke. His voice was acidic, but I thought he also sounded pained by something, like there was a lump in his throat, when he growled “Embry! Leave her alone!”
