Leave a “Nurse Me” in my ask, and I’ll write a drabble about my character healing yours.

well this was awkward.

things were always awkward when emily and leah were left alone. leah didn’t know how to TALK to emily AT ALL. they had once been best friends but that was eons ago. some may say it was because of what happened - but leah didn’t care. she was over EVERYTHING that had happened. but moving on from that was proven to be difficult. “ you’re going to catch a cold , “ leah called out to her. it might have been sunny but it was definitely cold for humans. 

Emily liked being alone just fine, but being lonely? That was something she couldn’t stand. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt lonely--because she’d always had Sam, or Leah. Losing that friendship had shattered her. When she heard the voice it brought back echoes of memories she wasn’t willing to think about. “Hi--” She stumbled over the single word. After all, what do you say to someone you’ve hurt in the past?

He made his way closer and nudged her shoulder with his own before he smiled and looked away. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m okay, Em.” He assured her. Whether or not that was totally true? He wasn’t sure. But He hated worrying her. “You doing okay though?” He knew if he stayed close enough, he’d warm her right up and he wanted to at least give her that. Things between him and Sam hadn’t been easy since he’d left. 

Since he’d left the Uley pack to run beside Jacob he’d seen so little of Emily but always made a point to check in from time to time. As he watched her for a moment, the first few months of the shift replayed in his head. How scared he was. How terrified. How he always felt like there was suddenly a darkness he couldn’t get rid of and how Emily had helped him see past all of that, like the mother he needed but couldn’t have at that moment. “You’re gonna get pneumonia.” 

Emily recognized the voice before she’d even had a chance to turn around and even though her entire day felt ruined by the weather she could still feel a smile on her face. “Embry.” She shook her head. “You aren’t supposed to be the concerned one here.” She felt like in a way she’d raised each of the wolves into better men. Had been a part of their lives for some time, and now was left in the middle of the split. Still, no matter whose side was picked Emily couldn’t help but love her family.

WINNIE GLIDES ALONG THE SHORE LINE, lets herself enjoy the waves attempting to dig her feet into the sand. But she doesn’t allow it, it’s as if her feet aren’t even touching the ground. It’s effortlessand intentional. Despite the cloudy sky it doesn’t stop anyone from attending the beach, some of the citizens even surfing; it’s a normal occurrence for the citizens of La Push. She’s aware she’s on wolf territory but the odor is still very apparent as she approaches the human sitting alone with her eyes closed. She feigns tripping over her feet, purposely splashing water on her legs. ❝OH man, I’m so sorry. I just get so clumsy sometimes!❞

Emily finds herself leaning back with eyes closed, just trying to enjoy what she can before the clouds ruin the atmosphere. A gentle breeze blows her hair across her face, curls tickling her face and shoulders. Soon after she’s alerted by the splash of water which shocks her back to reality. Her eyes flick open. “It’s alright! If I hated the water I wouldn’t be out on the beach.”

“What?” Emily held her arm to her chest. “No, really, it’s fine. It’ll heal up and I really don’t think it’s deep enough to need stitches or anything.” She was cradling her hand which was bleeding from a cut she’d made while trying to prep for dinner. “Wow, that stings. Can you get the first aid kit out of the bathroom closet?”

( ashley moore, she/her ) — did you see emily young walking through the streets of forks? the twenty-six year old human has been in town for five years and is aware of the supernatural world. people in town seem to say that they're maternal and outgoing, but i’ve definitely seen them acting pretty stubborn and impulsive, too. hopefully they don’t cause too much trouble in town.
