When the others and Bella came I was suddenly nervous. Would they hate me? Are they going to leave me? What's going to happen once they know? Oh god, I don't think I can handle another abandonment from them. I didn't know I was breathing hard until Carlisle was in front of me, holding my hands.
"Breath, calm down" he instructed me. I nod and tried to calm down. "Good, just relax, okay." Once I calmed down he let go of my hands. He sits next to me. I frowned looking at my hands. They were now cold, funny wouldn't they be a lot warmer without his cold hand on mine? I looked up and they were staring at me with worry. Great now they think bad of me. I sigh and turn to Edward.
"How much do you know?" I asked him. I wanted to know how much he knows and I knew if he knew something the others did too. And plus I didn't want to repeat myself.
"About you and Sam nothing really. Just that you guys are close" He says.
"And about the other?" I asked him. I knew that he knew what I meant about that. I was asking him if he knew what happened with Laurent and me.
"Only what Jake's knows, which it's not enough but I kinda got an idea," He says. I close my eyes for a second.
"I honestly don't know what to say, so I guess you guys can ask questions?" I suggested because really I didn't know what this was about. It was silent until Edward speaks up.
"Tell us about you and Sam" hearing Sam's name I smiled. Just by hearing his name I could calm down. I thought I hear a low growl coming from Carlisle but I ignored it. Why would he do that?
"Oh Sammy, well you see, umm..." I paused how can I say that whole long story in a short one.
"Long story short he's my long lost cousin," I say shocking them all. I laughed at their faces. "Yeah I know right? What a small world. Well, my biological mother and his mother are twin sisters. Wait, I haven't told you guys that I'm actually adopted more like I was sold to my parents." I was interrupted by Alice.
"Wait for what?" she asked looking all confused. I sigh man this was going to be a long day.
"Okay. My birth parents are actually Annabeth Zollanger, twin sister to Sam's mother, and my father is Dr. Henry Willison. They died when I was four, Sam's parents couldn't raise me because they were going bankrupt. So they decided to give me to a couple who I thought were actually my parent but aren't. Well more like the sold me to them. They got a lot of money from selling me to my adopted parent, you can say, however, Sam's father, my uncle Joshua decided to gamble all that move away. Leaving them broke again. My aunt Allison hated him for it so she kicked him out of the house. Years later she got sick and on her deathbed, she asked Sam to come and find me. To bring me home. He promised but he turned into a wolf. So he used his wolf sense and came to look for me. By the time he found me, I already lost my parent, once again. I didn't know that he talked with the judge in agreeing to let me move to Forks, I just thought that the judge was weird. But no, the judge took pity on Sam and his story so he agreed that I can move to Forks. I also didn't know that Sam was stalking me the entire time. Can you believe it? Man talk about being weird. Well, one day I met this black wolf in the wood" Alice was going today something but I shhed her.
"Look, I know that it wasn't the smartest idea I had but I was bored. It was after the accident we had in high school. So I went out, thinking if I was lost I could either scream and you guys would magically appear. But instead, I found a wolf. I don't know why but something was telling me that he could be trusted, he felt familiar. So my idiot started to talk to him. I called him Mr. Wolf" I was once again interrupted but by Bella.
"Sam's Mr. Wolf? Dude, I thought he was like a stray dog or something. No wonder you always had a bowl of water outside your house. So did you know he was Sam, as in a human?" Bella asked me. I shook my head.
"Mm no but I had a theory because common if vampires were real then, of course, werewolves were too. And have you seen their sizes? They're huge! No normal wolf can be that big. And when you told me about the Quileute legends I started to plan out my theory. One night, as always I left a bowl of water outside and a pair of my father's shorts. Thinking if Mr. Wolf was an actual person then he'll need clothes. The following morning the shorts weren't there and the bowl was empty. But this time Mr. Wolf left something behind. He left a note thanking me for the shorts, even though I didn't know him. But that didn't prove my theory when I left with the pups-"I said and they looked confused.
"The pups, that's the nickname I gave Embry, Jake, and Quil," I said and they nod.
"Anyways, when i left with the pups to Seattle I saw Sam with the shorts I left out the previous night. Dude you should of seen his face. It was priceless, he was shocked that I figured it out. That he was the wolf, but I didn't say anything I just smirked and left him. After that, I would see Sam around town whenever I was alone. I knew he was near my house whenever I stayed there alone. I would hear his howls." I say smiling as I start to remember those days. It was quiet after a while until Emmett speaks up.
"So are you going to turn to a dog?" he asked making me laugh.
"Oh god no, thank god I won't. Man imagine me turning to one of those giant beasts. No thank you, it's like being on your period 24/7. Nah I'm good." I said making them laugh. "And besides I don't think that my biological mother had the gene in her. Sam got the gene from his father Joshua Uley, my father was a pale face. Someone outside the tribe. So I won't turn to a huge dog." I say.
"If you're from the tribe than why are you so pale?" Kellan says. I smiled at him.
"Like I said my father was an outsider, a pale face, meaning someone of the town and not from the Rez. I got my father's pale skin and his hair color. But I got my mother's nose, height and her eyes. I don't know if you guys notice that Sam and I share the same deep dark brown eyes. We got that from our mother's. So, yeah Sam and I are cousins." After trying to process all that new information I spoke up.
"So what actually happened with Laurent," Edward says making me stiff at hearing that name. How could I ever forget, till this day I still have nightmares about him. That fucken bastard, I hope he's rotten in hell.
"H-he, umm, he looking for you. C-couldn't find you but, umm, he found us" I say bitterly. "He wanted to know if we were still under your protection. Because Victoria wanted to kill Bella and me to make our mates suffer. I get why she would want to kill Bella because of Edward but why me? I don't have a mate nor is a vampire in love with me. Why did she need to kill me? To prove a point that she can kill anyone? But yeah, umm, he said that he doing us a favor by killing us quickly because she was going to do it slowly and painfully. I told Bella to run and good thing that she did. Fucken bastard said that we'll have so fun before he kills me. Lucky Sam saved the day. He and the others came before anything bad happen. I sometimes wonder....." it was quiet.
"Well no point in remembering about that, he's dead and isn't coming back," I say sourly. No one spoke, they understood what I meant. They understood what I was hinting if Sam hadn't come in time something would have happened. I didn't know how long it was but I spoke up.
"Im sorry," I tell them. They looked confused to why I'm apologizing but Bella knew what I was talking about. "I'm sorry for acting like a complete jerk, not talking to you guys and not coming over like before," I say making their confused faces turn soft.
"No, we should we the ones apologizing not you. We left-" Esme starts to say but I cut her off. Shaking my head.
"No, I knew you guys were going to leave," I say shocking them once again.
"It was obvious after what happened in Bella's birthday. I understood why you did it, you left to protect us, humans. I understand and I accepted it. I wasn't mad, I would have tried to convince you guys to not go but I wasn't going to scream at you nor would I do anything to disrespect you. But I was expecting more like hoping you guys would at least say goodbye. Not to pack up and leave without a word." I say looking at them with tears in my eyes. They all looked down in shame and guilt.
"Yeah I get it, you had to leave but without a single goodbye? Did I do something wrong? Have I offended you in any way because if I had I'm sorry? Couldn't I at least have gotten a letter, a phone call, for the love of god I would be happy with a text message. I learned of your disappearance by one Billy's friend looking all too happy that you guys left. I came here to see if he was lying. But turns out he wasn't, none of you were here. I search all over but without any luck. Somehow I thought you guys would leave a note back at my house. Getting my hopes up just to have them crashed in the end. I looked around for a note that didn't exist. After the searching the house the third time I figured there was no note. I wasn't mad nor did I hate you guys. I was more disappointed and hurt. I figured I wasn't important to you guys..." I say but was cut off by Jasper.
"No your wrong. You're important to us, you have no idea how much you mean to us." Jasper begins to say but I cut him off.
"Then why leave without saying goodbye? If I mean so much to you then why did you do it?" I asked as tears were coming down. They all turn to Carlisle, who was staring at me with a hurt and sorry look. Was it because of him that they left without a word? But why? I thought we were okay, I thought or maybe I was hoping we were more than okay. Was I blinded by my love for him to actually see the truth?
"Leave us," Carlisle says without looking away from me. They all left without a word. Why did he want everyone to leave? What was going on?
Carlisle POV:
As she was explaining everything to us I couldn't believe that all that happened while we were away. I missed so many things from my mate's life. I wasn't there to help her cope with finding out about her parents. I wasn't there to protect from Laurent. I wasn't there to protect my mate. I had failed my mate more than once. Esme was right leaving was the dumbest idea ever. She was also right about me not treating Amelia like my mate. I was treating her like a child. She was far more than that. I was wrong, I am wrong and I only hope and pray that she would forgive me.
"I'm sorry, I thought that I was doing the right thing. I thought I was protecting you." I tell her.
God, please let her forgive me. I don't know if I can be without her.
" Since the first time I saw you, I knew you were special. I knew that you were important. I knew my life would never be the same without you." I say holding her hands.
"Just know that everything I did was because I thought it was a good thing for you. I wanted to tell you at first but I didn't want you to become what I am" she looks confused. Should I tell her and forever change our relationship or keep her in the dark. If I tell her she might never forgive me or she might. But if I don't tell her and someone else does she'll hate me.
"I don't want you to hate me," I say honestly. I could never bear it. I could have her not talk to me, for her to love someone else, I could have her near me and never have her, but to have her hate me. I can not, it could kill me.
"I could never hate you" Amelia says looking at me with her beautiful dark brown eyes. I hope she's right.
"You're my mate" I whisper enough for her to hear. I felt her stiff. Her eyes were wide.
"I-i'm y-y-your m-mate?" she stutters. Her eyes told a story, she was hurt, betrayed, sad, confused, and happy.
"And you didn't tell me. This whole time you knew and didn't once utter a word. You left me. All this time. All this damned time you knew. How could you?" she says as tears fall down on her beautiful face. I'm the reason why I hurt her, I'm the reason why my mates crying.
"I'm sorry" that's all I could say. Shaking her head she gets up and walks to the door. I'm panicking now. No, she couldn't leave me, please don't leave me. I grabbed her wrist, preventing for her to leave.
"I-i need time," she says not looking at me. I'm not going to let her go. No, I refuse to let her leave. I am not going to lose her again.
"P-please don't go" I pleaded. "Please don't go," I said as I dropped to my knees holding her waist, hugging her tight so she wouldn't leave. If I could cry I would. I would be sobbing right now. After a while, I felt her hands around me. She was hugging me, crying.
"I won't,..... I'm not going anywhere.....I promise." Amelia says holding me.
What did I do to deserve this angel? I promise to treat her as she deserves, she deserves more than me. She deserves more than what I could offer. I hope she doesn't realize that I am not enough for her because if she does then it'll be the day I'll lose her completely.
