Thanks to twilight1650 and candelifera for reviewing!! You guys rock my socks!! : D

Sorry if they're some mistakes in it, I really wanted to get it posted it tonight :P

We walked about three streets in silence. It was nice just enjoying the beautiful, sunny day. I hadn't really been outside just to enjoy the view or to go for a walk since we lived in Maine and that was six weeks ago. I enjoyed the warm breeze and the carefree way Jacob walked beside us, even though I was sure he was going slower than he probably would be doing if Toby and I weren't there because of his long legs.

Toby was gawking at him and I poked his ribs 'stop staring!' I hissed, low so Jacob wouldn't hear, though his lips seemed to curl and it looked as if he was surpressing a smile.

"You're huge!" Toby exclaimed, ignoring my warnings, as always. Like my mother would, I shushed him. Jacob laughed though, it was really uplifting.

"Yeah, I know. Once I was your height though." Jacob Black said.

"Really?" Toby breathed.

"Yupp, and do you know how I got this big?"

"How?" Toby was mystified bye this sixteen year old god. That's what Jacob was in Toby's eyes. Some superhero that was going to give him advice on how to become like him.

"By listening to my older sisters." He glanced at me and I gave him a grateful smile. I would be friends easily with Jacob Black.

"Yeah right," Toby scoffed, though he did stop staring at Jacob with his mouth hanging open.

We came to a small building with giant letters that read 'Cafe Red'. It was small and wooden and looked more like a small cabin than anything. It was also welcoming and warm.

"This place is great. My friend Leah works here and even though she hates it we wont let her quit because of the discounts." Jacob grinned.

"That's kind of cruel" I observed.

"Oh yeah, were the cruel ones," he said under his breath, hoping I didn't hear most likely. I didn't pry. Maybe he had some bad relationship status with her, I knew all about those. Well, actually I had no idea because I'd never had a boyfriend personally, but I had made friends with this really popular girl in New York and she had a new boyfriend every week. That's all I ever heard was 'Jason's being an idiot, he was two minutes early for our date and I wasn't ready!' or 'Ronnie won't take me to dinner tonight because he was to visit his mom in the hospital' or 'I don't think Corier likes my new shoes, will you come shopping with me for new ones'. That's about the time when I made a mental note to never make friends with a popular girl the next time we moved, or ever again. They were all so self centred. Though there were upsides. People paid more respect to you and you were never on the outs, you knew everything that was happening in and out of school. But the price was too high; I never wanted to have to listen to another scratchy voice telling me that my pants were out of style from two months ago. Sorry if we aren't all rich! Maybe I was bitter, so what?

The wooden room was large but crowded with all of the people in it. Actually there only seemed to be a few people in there but their bodies were taking up most of the room. There were three really big buys, like Jacob but they were all really different looking. One was shorter, but still well over six feet, he was laughing at a joke that he had most likely made. The one next to him was quite tall, not as tall as Jacob, again, but taller than the really muscled one. His hair wasn't in the same style as the shorter one. It was floppy and loose. The third one was a half-inch shorter than the second and he had his arm around a girl. She was pretty plain looking and he seemed to have positioned himself as id he was protecting her, like if anything were to happen he would be ready to throw himself in front of her to save her. There was a girl behind the counter, Leah I guessed. She was average looking, brown hair and nice skin. Nothing that really stood out though. The girl looked bored back there and I felt bad that she was stuck with a job she hated because her friends liked the discounts. When the door slammed shut they all turned around, except for the one behind the counter who was already facing us.

"Hey guys," Jacob said casually.

"Hey Jake, Who's the girl..and..uh..the kid?" The shorter one said.

"This is Tara and Toby Conway. They're moving here. Remember the meeting Sam had to go this morning, it's because the council was too paranoid and couldn't make a decision." Jacob Black laughed.

"Ghesh she sure looks like she could pass for a Quileute, are you sure you aren't?" It was true, I looked really native. I had long, dark hair and copper skin. My mom said my dad was Native Canadian and they had met just outside of his reservation. I apparently look just like him, which I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not, my being a girl and all, but my mom assured me that it was good. He died when I was two and I barely remember him. We were more financially stable when he was alive was all I remember. "Nope, just from British Columbia Canada."

"I'd like to go to Canada" the shorter one said with a far off look in his eyes. It made me laugh.

"N'eway, let me introduce you two to the gang. Quil," the shorter one "Embry," the tall one "Jared and his, uh, girlfriend," Jacob faltered "Kim." the guy with his arm around the plain girl. Actually her eyes were incredibly pretty I just noticed, almond shaped and dark, maybe she wasn't so plain. When Jacob said Kim's name Jared smiled down at her, it was intense and he really seemed to be in love with her. It was sweet and, intense. He took her hand and kissed it. She blushed and Jared pushed the hair away from her face. I had to look away, it seemed so personal. I think I was also slightly jealous. No one ever looked at me like that, and I guessed no one ever would. I wasn't the type that really put herself out there for guys. Not that Kim seemed that way but I didn't know how she got a guy like Jared, he seemed no offence intended, a little out of her league. It almost gave me hope that someone like me could find someone who would one day look at me with that caring, I was the only one in the world look in his eyes.

But then I remembered- this was reality. Jacob cleared his throat loudly; I think he saw that Toby was making a face. No one except actors in movies acted like that. Jared's head shot up immediately but he didn't let go of Kim's hand.

"And this is Ann McShift," Jacob finished. I guess it wasn't Leah. Oh right! Jacob said she was out with Sam. "She's filling in for Leah today."

"Yeah. She called me this morning and said she needed me to fill in. I was sort of ticked but it sounded important so I let it go. She owes me one now though." Ann grinned and turned to me "Hi" she said with a smile and I smiled back at them all.

"Hey," Toby said, tugging on my hand "Buy me a cookie." he more demanded than asked me.

"I don't have any money." We never had any money.

"S'okay, it's on the house." Ann said.

"No, I don't think I can do that." I told her.

"Why not?" Toby whined.

"Why don't I start you on a tab then. Later you can come back and pay." Ann suggested.

"Please," Toby begged

"Alright. One."

"Chocolate double chunk" Toby finished, rushing over to find a stool at the counter.

"Come sit with us," Kim said, motioning to two empty seats next to her. I didn't think there was much more room left at the table but Jacob moved forward so I did too.

"So what's Canada like?" Embry asked, putting his giant hand under his chin so it supported his head.

"Wouldn't really know. We never stayed. I've lived everywhere, mostly throughout the states though. My step dad's from Virginia, where my mom met him. Now we travel around the states aimlessly. It's so annoying. We have no balance; our schooling is so messed up. I hate their lifestyle." I hadn't meant to say too much but it was just so easy to talk to normal people and their faces were all so friendly.

"That's horrible," Jacob said after no one spoke, not knowing what to say because of my angry tone when I said what I did.

"No, it's great!" Toby said with his mouthful of cookie.

I shook my head "Swallow." I warned.

The group laughed at Toby's lack of manners.

"Are you going to be staying long here?" Ann asked at the counter.

"I hope to but knowing my mom and Clark we wont stay past winter." It was the end of August now.

"Well we hope you stay too," Kim said, smiling with her full lips, another good feature of hers.

"Thanks." Another silence and, again, Jacob broke it.

"So when are the others coming back?"

"Uhh, were suppose to meet them at Emily's in an hour to go over, uh, patterns." Quil answered.

"Ah," Jacob answered, I was sure there was more behind this then they were telling.

"Did they find anything that...?" Jacob trailed off.

"Jake...I'm... I'm really sorry.." Embry said lowly. The rest of them bowed their heads down, almost apologetically. I looked at Jacob, he was trembling slightly. His fist came down hard on the table and it broke, he didn't even wince but I jumped. The rest of the others expressions, except for Toby's (who was just as shocked as mine) stayed the same, unsurprised by his outburst.

"DAMN IT!!" he screamed, shaking more violently this time. He turned to me and said threw gritted teeth "Look, I'm sorry I have to go. Embry, you'll drive them back to the hall?" Embry nodded. Jacob continued, "We'll hang out tomorrow." he promised. Then he pushed his chair, which smashed against the wall, out of his way and stormed fast out of the Cafe Red.

Ann looked afraid too and Jared was hugging Kim. Quil looked really sad, his grin gad vanished. Embry was shaking his head, staring at the floor. I was definitely missing something. Finally Quil stood up "I'm going after him."

"Sit down Quil, he's pissed and it won't do any good. You know how stubborn he is." Jared told him.

"No, you know who's going to be pissed? Sam. Sam's going to be livid and you know who's going to get the brunt of it? Us. We have to calm him down." Quil argued, answering his own questions.

"There's no god damn calming Jacob down when it comes to Bella and the b- him! So sit down!" Embry said, he was getting ticked too.

"Well he has to learn that she wasn't for him." Quil argued.

This time Kim spoke "Quil, you'll just end up getting hurt."

"I can handle him."

"Remember last year when Paul made his comment, not even he can handle Jake when it comes to her." Embry told his friend. I was totally lost in heir conversation, confused that Jacob had left.

"Leave it to Sam to talk to him. Remember when he left, Sam convinced him to come back, didn't he?" Jared added.

"Yeah, I guess." Quil was becoming defeated.

Jared looked at me and then shifted him eyes to the ground "I don't really think this is the place to discuss it either. We should probably go to Emily's soon."

Embry found a smile for me but it seemed forced. "Come on, I'll take you two back to your parents."

"See you tomorrow," Kim said with the best smile she could manage. The rest of them said small goodbyes too, trying to be polite but I could tell they were all concerned. I had absolutely no idea what anyone was talking about. Who was Bella? Jacob didn't really seem the type that had that big of a temper. I had just seen some of it though and it was scary. No one but Sam could calm him down? And Paul. What happened between Bella, Jacob and Paul? None of this made sense at all.

As we were leaving I heard Ann speaking lowly to Kim and Jared "If he thinks just because his hormones are all funky because of this girls and because he's Leah's friend he doesn't have to pay for the damage he's insane."

"Just give it a rest Ann!" Jared roared.

Embry had a big black Jeep. It was old and the seats were worn but it was comfortable.

"Did you SEE Jacob kill that table!" Toby was enthralled.

"Stop it Toby." I warned, and I was serious.

Embry started the Jeep and the engine revved.

"So what was that all about?" I had to know and wasn't sure if he would tell me on his own.

Embry sighed deeply "Its a long, long story. Summary is Jacob fell for a girl who was left heartbroken by some, er, guy, I guess," he didn't know what to call him it seemed. "Jake really loved her and Bella loved him too. Then the scumbag came back and she took him with open arms. They got married a few weeks back from now."

"Then what was that outburst for?" If they had been married for weeks why was Jacob so angry about it now. No one had mentioned Bella's name when Jacob was there.

"Well it's more complicated then you could ever imagine."

"Care to elaborate?"

"It's not my story to tell. I'm sorry." That was the end of that.

We arrived at the hall after a few minutes of driving in silence. "I'm sorry, really. Jake's not usually like that. He's great, just a lovesick puppy who fell for someone he cant have. He'll be better tomorrow. I promise. Come tomorrow to the cafe at around noon. Leah and Paul will be around and you can meet them. Maybe even Emily will come, she's Sam's fiancé. Emily's great. She makes these amazing muffins that- uhm... well see you tomorrow?" I laughed.

"Yeah, do you mind if I don't bring my little brother though?" Toby was already out of the car standing where Billy and my parents were talking.

"I think that would be a smart idea actually." he gave me a real smile now.

"Hey, if you see Jacob, tell him I'm really sorry about whatever happened."

Embry shook his head slowly and sadly "I will," he promised. "But don't worry about him, okay?"

"Thanks for the ride." I walked over to my parents as Embry pulled away.

"...And then he pushed the chair away and it slammed into the side of the wall. In at least a thousand pieces!" My little brother was retelling the story in detail of what happened. I wasn't planning on giving any details, just saying when my parents asked if we had fun "Yeah, the kids around here are all really nice. I think we'll be fast friends."

Billy Black's face went pale, and that's pretty hard to do when your Native American. "I forgot I have a meeting with Sam tonight and I should go" his voice was shaky and I felt bad. He probably knew it was about this Bella too. Why would she ever take the jerk that left her back? (Authors note: I know, because it's Edward Freaking Cullen!!) Poor Jacob. Maybe she just wasn't for him though. Maybe he should move on.

That night at the hotel my mom asked what we wanted to do the next day, our house wouldn't be ready for three days.

"I have plans with the kids in La Push" I answered.

Heather's lips formed an O shape but she quickly recovered from her momentary shock "Really? Do you think that's such a good idea? From what we heard today that Jacob doesn't seem so stable"

"Mom, he just had his heartbroken, I think he has a right to be a little mad about this whole thing." He had every right to be pissed off. Also I really wanted to go back tomorrow, to see how Jacob was holding up and to see the others friendly faces. I was happy I finally had friends. And I also wanted to meet Paul and Leah. And Emily, Sam's fiancé, to see if she was also as serious as the handsome Sam my mother had a crush on. She had already mentioned him numerous times in random conversations when we got back to the hotel. Clark didn't like it very much.

"And Jacob isn't dangerous. He's super nice and willing to be friends. I never get opportunities like this and I don't think I should pass up my one chance at friends." I would win this argument I was sure.

"Well I doubt that its your only opportunity to make friends," but... "But he does seem like a pleasant boy and you seem to like the others fine too so I suppose we could drive you tomorrow" She knew I was right. I didn't make friends easily on my own.

"At noon" I told her.

"Right, at noon. I want you to take your cell phone though in case you need us to come pick you up or anything. We will be going site seeing tomorrow in La Push I think so we won't be far and Clark will have his phone on him."

"I'll be fine Mom."

So tomorrow I would be going back to La Push. I hoped Jacob wouldn't be too upset. I looked forward to meeting the mysterious Paul and Leah too. I hoped they liked me. Wasn't there another? Seth maybe? Was that his name? Would he be coming? No one mentioned that he would.

As I tried to fall asleep that night I wondered about Jacob and Bella and the types of conversations they had. I wondered what Paul looked like, and what he had said about this Bella. She seemed to have played a big part in all of their lives. I thought about what we would do tomorrow. I wondered if Jacob would even show. Jared said he had left before, what if he would again? I wondered also about the guy that Bella had left Jacob for, if he was handsome and charming. (Hell yeah, its EDWARD FREAKING CULLEN!!)

Finally I was tired of thinking and wondering and decided I didn't want to anymore so I turned my MP3 onto Muse and eventually fell asleep.

I know it seems like this is going to be a Jacob imprint story but I swear he's just Tara's friend in it. Sorry I still haven't gotten too much on Paul but I PROMISE he WILL be in the next chapter.

Please Review and I'll be really happy (:
