I slammed the door to Embrys room and locked it, then locked the window because I knew that since it was a first story bedroom they boys would try the window to get in. I put his desk chair in front of the door, the back of the chair under the handle so they couldn't get in if they unlocked it.

I sat on the ground and just started at the wall, angry at how Paul treated me. I'm not like the others, he can stop being nice to me because he's not going to get into my pants.

I stayed in the room for about an hour before I got bored, Embry had no games in here. Somebody knocked on the door about 10 minutes into my stay, but I pretended to be asleep so I wouldn't have to talk to them.

"Hey, Serena, you start school with us tomorrow and you need some stuff, we have to go to your old house" a voice called from the other side of the door

"No" I called back, not moving from my spot on the floor

"Serena, you have too, you need to get your things"

"I can't go back there, he'll keep me there"

"No he won't, the guys are going to come with, you'll be safe"

"No I won't!" I cried, burying my head in between my legs, "he's going to keep me there! And you won't be able to get me out!"

"Yes we will! It's ok! Just let me in and we can talk about it, ok?"

"I can't!" I panicked, "I can't do it, I can't let you in!"

"Yes you can, just open the door, you'll be ok"

"No! Don't make me go back there!"

"Serena"

"I can't breathe"

"What!" The voice cried from the other side of the door

"I can't breathe, Embry, I can't breathe" I repeated, gasping for air

"Open the door! Damnit Serena! Open the door! Sam!" Embry yelled, banging on the door

"What are you doing! You're moms going to kill you!" Sam yelled at Embry

"She's having a panic attack and I can't get in! Help me get the door open!" Embry yelled back at Sam

"Fuck!" Sam yelled after there was a loud bang on the door, "go and try the window again!"

Not even a minute later Embry appeared outside his bedroom window, which he started pulling on to get it open. I must not have locked the window correctly because before I knew it Embry was crawling through it.

"I'm in!" Embry yelled and Sams sigh of relief could be heard from the other side of the door.

"Hey, Re, it's ok, I'm right here, it's ok" Embry cooed, sitting on the ground and pulling me into his arms

"Give me an update, Call, what's going on?" Sam said, "is she ok?"

"She's fine, right? Your fine?" Embry asked me, and I nodded, slowly calming down.

"Can you let me in now?"

"I'm going to let him in now"

"No! I cried, clutching onto Embry like a child, "don't leave me!"

"Alright! I'm right here, just calm down!" Embry said, pulling me closer, "are you better now?"

I though for a second before speaking, "can we go get my stuff now?"

"So you're just magically better just like that?" Embry questioned me

"You made me better, I would probably still be sitting on the floor by myself if you hadn't gotten the window open"

"So we're good to go? I can tell the guys to get in the cars?" Sam asked

"Yeah, go tell them, we'll be out in a minute" Embry replied and I heard Sam leave

"You sure you're good to go? Just like that?"

"I'm fine, Embry, as long as you guys are with me I'll be fine" I replied

Sam

"I know you guys heard everything so I'm not even going to tell you what happened" I told the guys as I entered the living room

"I didn't hear everything" Seth replied

"Cut the crap, Seth, we were all eavesdropping" Leah snapped at her little brother

"But she's ok? We're going to go and get all her stuff and she's not going to have another attack?" Paul asked me worried

"She'll be fine, Paul, and if you really want to I can put you in charge of helping her get stuff from her room"

"I don't think she'll like that, you heard our conversation earlier, maybe send Leah" Paul said solemnly

"I think this is a Leah job, I'm not looking for a beating from Paul when she likes me more than him" Seth joked causing Paul to start shaking with anger

"How dare you talk about my imprint like she's yours!" Paul growled, "she's mine!"

"Ok, ok, I hear them coming, let's go, and if she asks Jared is still at the hospital and Quil is with his cousin," I told them and they all nodded before leaving the house and getting into their cars.

"You're going to have to give us directions," Embry told Serena who nodded before we all got into my truck.

"Take a left here" she said once we got to the end of the road, "go all the way down, it's the last house on the left, the one with the" she trailed off

"With the what?" I asked her, looking for the house

"He's home" she said, "turn around, I'll just not go to school tomorrow!"

"You have to go, Serena, and you'll need to get you're stuff today, right now. All of us are with you so he won't be able to get near you" I said before pulling up in front of the house.

Serena

I slowly led everyone to the front door, dragging out the time it took so I wouldn't have to go in, but the words never came. I opened the screen door and knocked, only for the door to be opened a few seconds later and for me to be pulled into a very tight hug

"Serena! Thank God you're home! Your mother and I have been worried sick about you!" The man that I used to know as my father exclaimed, "honey come here! She's home!"

The psychopath of a woman came around the corner and took the sight of me in, "how are you here?" I asked

"What do you mean how am I here? I've always been here" the psychopath said

"How did you get out of custody!" Sam demanded, ripping me from the psychopaths husbands arms

"Oh, you know, just some, manipulation"
