I walked down the stairs eagerly, hoping that Paul had arrived. Much to my luck, when I walked into the kitchen, he sat with a seat next to him. On my arrival he turned around as I saw a familiar face but not a familiar wolf. I noticed embry call sat down. We were friends at school. " oh hey holly !" Embry smiled as paul glared at him, clearly wanting the first word. " morning embry, so... finally made the pack huh ?" He nodded shyly as I made my way towards Paul. I saw Jared whisper something to embry who smiled and nodded. " morning Paul" I said nervously but with a huge smile plastered on my face. " morning holly... sleep well ?" He asked as embry facepalmed " umm yeah I slept fine " " thanks " I finished as he nodded contentedly. Jared coughed mockingly as we all turned to him " good morning Jared my best friend who I love dearly... good morning to the man who eats all my leftovers so they don't get wasted" He spoke in an almost Shakespearean voice as I raised my eyebrow " morning Jared" I said as I slid him the rest of my toast and he put his thumbs up as he shovelled it into his mouth. " so... what do you wanna do today ?" Embry spoke casually as Jared and Paul both yelled " CLIFFDIVING" I winced, i hadn't actually ever been, I usually left the Adrenalin stuff to the boys. " are you going ?" Paul asked me as he looked again directly into my eyes. " umm I -" " of course she is " Emily spoke smiling as I raised my eyebrows as I gave in " fine fine I'll go " Paul smiled as he sat back in his chair in delight.

" is it always this high ?" I mumbled as I shivered " yes " Jared implied again as Paul said " hey... I've never done it either... neither has embry... I'll jump with you " I looked to him thankfully as Jared prepared to jump beside embry " truth be told... I've never been good with heights " He smiled at me as he grabbed my hand out of instinct. I blushed as my heart sped up again. Nearing the edge Paul gestured to his back as he said " get on if you want " I jumped and hooked my legs around his waist as I gripped onto him " ready?" I nodded into the crook of his neck as he jumped off the edge. I felt the cool water surround us as we both swam back up. " how was that little Uley ?" Jared spoke in a singsong voice as I said " it wasn't so bad...." The waves became really strong as I struggled, without the supernatural strength that the boys possessed. Seeing me struggle Paul quickly grabbed me and out of instinct my legs went around him as he said " better ?" I nodded as I smiled and kissed his cheek. After I had done it I recoiled as I muttered " sorry I d-" " no . I liked it" He said smiling and blushing profusely. /// Just as the boys managed to get up on the rocks I got swept under my a tidal wave. I heard them screaming my name as I fought to swim to the surface but it kept me under. It pushed me further and further out until I hit my head on a rock. /// My eyes opened as I coughed up water and breathed heavily. I panicked as I looked up to see all three boys leaning over me. " thank god your okay " Paul spoke first as he hugged me tightly. The others followed as I said " what happened?" " you got pulled under by a current, we all went in searching for you but embry pulled you out. I turned to him as he smiled sheepishly " thank you " I said as I hugged him again " don't mention it " he smiled kindly as I turned back to Paul and jared. " shit hol, your ice cold " Paul spoke as I shivered again " I got it " He said as he hooked his arms under my legs and around my back as he lifted me off the ground. " you don't have to-" " yes I do" He said as he then said " it's my fault... if I would have got out quicker and pulled you out before the tidal wave hit then you wouldn't have nearly died" He said angrily as the boys watched on nervous of his temper. " hey ... Paul ... look at me " I said as his nostrils flared and he looked at me " shhhh it's okay ... accidents happen... im still here... just calm down " He obliged as his face returned to its normal complexion and his eyes lost the dark anger inside them. /// Arriving back at Emily's Paul set me down as I said " I'm gonna go change, none of you mention this to Sam okay " I said forcefully They all nodded as they headed towards the muffins Emily layed out. " tell me what ?" Sam asked confused as he wandered into the kitchen " nothing" All three spoke at the same time I shook my head and went upstairs to find some dry clothes and to shower. /// Returning to the kitchen I was all washed and dry and I was dressed in a hoodie and some leggings as I took my seat next to Paul. " so ... how was cliff diving" Sam said through gritted teeth. I widened my eyes as I stared at all three of the boys who both looked at Jared I said " you " Through narrowed eyes as he held his hands up " It was a fair exchange, no patrol tonight for whatever secret we were all keeping" He said still chowing down on his chicken. Annoyed with him I swiped my finger and his chicken went flying into the bin. " powers,no fair " He sulked as Paul and embry muttered " wow " Jared continued to whine until the boys were looking at me begging me to shut him up as I made his chicken land in his mouth so he couldn't speak anymore. He smiled as he nodded and continued to try and speak but he got the message when we all looked at him simultaneously.
I really felt at home... with the guys... with Paul... and I had a sneaking feeling that he felt that same way. And he did.
