I stalked off into the woods not wanting to deal with the situation I had gotten into all because Marty wanted to go screw his girlfriend! I kept my hands clenched as I wandered aimlessly into the dense green trees. I heard a sharp growl after a few minutes. Cool wet sweat moistened on my chest causing me to shudder. The guy from before, Jacob stood a couple feet away from me. I gulped slightly, he appeared so intimidating. My heart tugged for me to go over to him, but my brain wanted me to run. Forget him, Marty, and everyone who had caused me trouble today.

Why didn't I just go to school?

"They let you off easy," He said loud in enough for me to hear.

His face was scrunched in a way I would find attracting but right now I was dreading to be near him. I didn't want that stupid Sam person to be right. I did not like Jacob!

"I guess so," I said as politely as I could snarl out. I was good at keeping my end of the bargain as long as it entitled me to something I wanted. Jacob was no trophy.

"Look-I," He seemed lost for words. "I want to get to know you." He blurted out.

My eyes were practically dropping out of their sockets in astonishment. Why would he want me? I was so plain and just no. Ugh why did Mr. Tall and dark suddenly find me appealing?

"I don't think that's such a good idea. You wouldn't like me." I answered staring at pebble on the ground.

He shook his head. "You're different, I can tell. I like new people, the same is boring."

I raised one of my eyebrows. "Uh, I don't know."

He gave a grin. "Can't you even feel it?"

I shrugged. "I don't know what you're talking about." I brushed fake lint off my hooded-jacket.

He shook his head again. "You can, you just don't want to admit it."

I glared at him, how dare he guess my feelings correctly! I stalked off away from him. I could hear his footsteps following me. I turned my head to see him smirking like this was some game. So he thought my anger was cute, eh? I bounded over to him.

"Quit following me," I snapped. "I mean it."

He chuckled. "Sorry, I was just admiring you from the back."

A blush rose to my cheeks. No guy had ever flirted with me up front, unless they were high or drunk. I was about to slap him when he caught my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I gasped at his actions. Why was he making me feel so…? I couldn't even describe this beating in my heart.

"Careful, wouldn't want to break anything."

I rolled my eyes at his words. He sure thought he was something. We were so close our chests nearly touching. His arm wrapped around me. I stepped back causing him to frown slightly as I pulled away. I just couldn't do this.

The feelings were too much for me to handle. I couldn't lose control again, not like last time….

My head was spinning. The room felt cold and damp, with a wet cloth spread across my face. Shielding me from seeing who was prodding at my arm. It felt like ants nipping away at the flesh of my skin. At the base of my throat I felt dryness and irritation. Only I was left. My parents were dead, my heart just knew it. Then bright lights burned my eyes. The cloth had been removed from my face.

"There now," A deep scrawling voice said. "Everything is going to be okay." It was Derek, my uncle.

I sunk to the ground and started screaming at the top of my lungs. Jacob grabbed hold of my shoulders trying to calm me down. I just couldn't think anymore I wanted to forget what had happened. What they did to my parents and me.

"No!" I yelled, half crying now. "No more!"

Jacob hugged me tight to him as I cried into his bare chest. I sobbed clutching him close to me as if he were a teddy bear. He patted my back ever so lightly, smoothing my hair. "It's alright, they can't get you. You're safe, I won't ever hurt you."

I wrapped my arms around his torso tighter afraid he'd leave me. His arms fit perfectly around me. He just sat there with me in his lap while I cried it out. It had been so long since I thought about my parents. When I finished I wiped my nose on the back of my hoodie's sleeve. "Thanks."

He smiled. "No problem."

He didn't even try to pry what had caused my outburst. "I just, haven't thought about them in a long time."

He nodded. "Who were they?"

I sighed, "My parents, they died about three years ago."

"I'm sorry that must have been really hard."

I smiled. "Yeah, but its cause- "I trailed off. "I have to go, Marty's probably wondering where I am." I lied.

He still held me. "Wait, I er wanted to know if you wanted to hang out sometime."

I gave him a sideways grin. "Sure sounds fun."

"So Friday, does that uh work?"

I nodded. "Yep I get out of school at three-thirty so I'll see you at four?"

His eyes lit up with warmth. "That's great!" he beamed. He blushed, "I mean it's cool so I'll meet you at the beach by the driftwood."

He released his gentle hold on me and I stood up. Jacob walked me back to my car.

"Oh, I never got you name." He said.

"Silk Awestern," I said shaking his hand.

He chuckled at my joke. "Jacob Black."

I grinned. "See you Friday," I waved and got in my car driving off. I went home and my uncle was still at work. It seemed dull to go to school so I just went back behind the grocery store again. Marty and Jenna both were smoking pot. Their pipes were gripped by their fingers and they looked up at me as I made my way to them.

"What took you so long?" Marty asked with a stern look.

"These guys hassle me in a way. It's nothing Marty, just we can't sell there anymore they threaten to call the cops."

He laughed. "Those reservation cops can't do anything unless it's on their land. We'll sell to the Indian kids outside their Rez."

I shook my head. "I made a deal with them though."

Marty glared at me. Jenna shrunk beside him in fear. She always was so…weak. I mean if a guy were to hit me I'd fucking kick his sorry ass. "Why the hell did you do that?"

I sighed, "You know why dumb ass. I can't get into any more trouble with the cops. Derek will kick me out, you know this!"

He nodded. "Fine from now on I'll take care of the delivering. You just grow the weed, got it?"

I agreed and took a seat next to Jenna. She gave me a smile and we talked about movies for awhile. Jace and Dino came on over then, a girl with red hair was behind then as well as another but she had black curly hair. They must have ditched for the lunch period.

"Hey Marty we found some freshman girls who want to buy some stuff."

Marty nodded. "Show us the money."

They took it out and Marty counted it. "Alright here," He took two bags of weed out and handed it to them. The girls took it and went back in front of the store. "Cute girls, they yours?"

Jace nodded. "The black hair girl is mine and the other is Dino's."

"Nice," Marty said with a sly grin. Jenna looked at him but didn't say anything. I got up.

"See you man whores later I'm going to head over to the music store."

"Aw what's wrong you feeling lonely too?" Jace teased.

I rolled my eyes. "Why? I rather be alone then have to put up with your lazy asses."

Jace laughed at me as I walked away. Sometimes I wondered why I put up with them. They could be so immature and just well annoying. I sighed mentally and stepped into the warmth of Cheerio's Music Store. I had no idea why the owner named it after a cereal box, but this where all the music was sold in town. I smiled flipping through some classical music. It was my muse most definitely and kept me calm when I needed it the most. I picked out a CD and glanced around to make sure no one was looking. I slipped it into the large pocket of my hoodie.

Whistling to myself I exited the store with no hassle. Hmm…maybe the monitors of the store were broken. The guys had already dispersed elsewhere so I decided to head on home. The cold wet air wasn't worth being in anyway. At home I turned on my computer and slipped the disc I got into the drive. I wanted to download the music for my iPod.
