< before I left.

I made the long walk back to my Mom’s. I knew my house would be full of people tonight… And I was in a condition to face them. I knew the walk would sober me up… but even sober, I just wanted to be alone and try to sleep, if that was at all possible.

< words faded… the sky brightened, and I dragged my hands over my face. I didn’t even dare to check my phone for the time, but I knew that after the story night, Sue visited her late husband.

“I let her down… I let you down. Sorry won’t ever be enough. But it’s all I have left.” I said softly >

< think that there wasn’t supposed to be an end… I can hardly picture what next week looks like, never mind forever. If a man like you couldn’t get forever, then what fucking hope do I have?” Forever… it was the first time I had used that word out loud.

“I don’t feel… I know…” I staggered over >

< be good… I was so fucking happy… she was too… wasn’t she? I think she was. I just… I just want to be okay… for her, like I promised. But I’m…” I looked at the empty bottle. “I’m not okay… I’m not… this isn’t okay. This isn’t how this was supposed to end. Is that stupid? It is ridiculous to >

< continued to drain the bottle in my hand. I didn’t want to draw the attention of the pack on duty tonight.

I wasn’t sure how or when I had ended up where I was sitting by the time the sun was coming up. But here I was, with an empty bottle at Harry Clearwater’s grave… telling him how I had >

< grab my boots before I left the beach.

The dull, fuzzy heat of the moonshine in my veins was the only thing that seemed to push my pain back… I tried not to think about how temporary that would be. I kept as close to the centre of the village as I could while I walked in my untied boots and >

< those. Remember?” I tossed my keys to one of the pups. I knew I could rely on them to bring the Jeep home and put my guitar somewhere safe. There wasn’t much that could make it unsafe for me to drive… but I had every intention of completely draining this bottle.

I just about remembered to >

Embry Call @badboyembrycall.bsky.social · 3d

< it. “I’m fan-fucking-tastic.”

I dropped my guitar and snatched the bottle of moonshine from where I had left it.

‘I think you’ve had enough of that for tonight.’ Jake reached for the bottle, and I pulled it out of his reach.

“You’re my Alpha, Jake… not my dad. I never had one of >

< I ended the song there, eye to eye with Seth. His grip on the bottle was white knuckled
‘Feel better?’ He asked. His heart rate gave it away that he wasn’t as unaffected as he wanted us to think.

“Me?” I smirked. I was feeling better than I had in a while… was that petty? Probably. But fuck >

< The girls were silent, and the new girl was confused. It didn’t stop me. I threw my very limited vocal ability into the chorus.

“Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's life
Cry, cry
Go bug somebody else so I can sleep at night
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's life!”

< and I let my voice fade to almost speaking the words, strumming the guitar with quick, simple strokes.

“And maybe you're the honest type
And it's been me the whole damn time
I should really try to calm my mind and see things from your side
Or, maybe you can”

Brady stopped playing now, too. >

Embry Call @badboyembrycall.bsky.social · 3d

<
Go ahead and ruin somеone else's life
Cry, cry
Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at night.”

The drums fell away a little at a time.

“Mmm, you're more narcissistic than anybody in Hollywood
You're not a misfit, don't keep sayin' you're misunderstood”

I was just a few feet from Seth now, >

< trying to find out what was wrong with her as the song continued. She didn’t answer, so I started to walk around the fire. Nessie could recall every lyric the moment she recognised a song. She knew what was coming.

“And I'm tired of letting someone get the bеst of me, so go ahead and
Cry, cry

Brady played with me, and the boys hit their drums. I knew they liked this song.
“I'm tired of burnt-out lies,
You think you know me, but you hardly even know yourself.”

‘Embry… don’t.’ Nessie said low enough that only the Spirit Warriors here would hear over the music and singing.

Jake was >

< play along.”

I played out the first few notes, and Nessie was on her feet. ‘Embry…’ She hissed under her breath.

And I sang:
“I really hate the way you think that you can get away
By blaming all your stupid problems on your mental state”

By the time Brady had come back, I had given the boys a basic beat to help out on the drums. I could see that this already had Renesmee’s ears pricked. She gave me a look as if to say… 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒𝕥?

< jeep, will you, pup?” I asked Brady. This wasn’t going to fly with me tonight.

‘You can just play mine…’ He started to offer.

“Nah, you can play with me… It’s a party after all... isn’t it?” He did it, looking between Seth and me since I hadn’t looked away from the man since he’d spoken.

Was he calling me out for the visceral reactions I had been having to music… in front of both the packs? The only place he would have seen this was in Quil’s mind. He was using Quil’s worries and concerns for me as a weapon?

I grinned and took a swig from the bottle. “Go get my guitar from the >

< young ones piped up, and they all started asking me to play or sing… or both.

I tried to politely tell them to keep going. I was happy to listen tonight.

‘Wait…’ Seth smirked, a beer in hand. ‘Haven’t you heard that Embry doesn’t play any more? Doesn’t even listen to music these days… right?’ >

Embry Call @badboyembrycall.bsky.social · 3d

< maybe it was the moonshine or my mood… but it pissed me off. I was fully aware that this reaction was irrational. But… here it was regardless.

< I was… other. I wasn’t sure how deep into the moonshine I was when Jake kicked my foot gently.

‘C’mon, Bry… since when are you not leading the charge with entertainment?’ He smiled, and I think he was trying to bridge the gap between the otherness I was feeling and the rest of the guys. But >

The new girl clapped for him when he was done until her pup leaned in and whispered to her. We all knew about the kids' performance anxiety. With just the pack, he was fine… but he still shut down a little when he was praised for his talent.

The conversations still weren’t natural… I was >
