AN: I kept writing and just couldn't stop. I went right into chapter two and even wrote the next chapter for DemP which I am editing now, but may not finished since I need a short nap.

To clear up any confusion, this is indeed a All Human/Alternate Universe story. There is no supernatural things going on. The title, Jacob will explain in detail in the next chapter. But it plays as a command in his life. Every chapter is based on a command.

Chapter one: (Simon says) Be Gay

Chapter two: (Simons says) Meet your brother in law

etc

I want the readers to remember that we are catching Jacob in a weird phase in his life, so he isn't the Jacob character we are used to. Slowly, that will resurface. I hope no one is put off by him in this chapter.

But slowly and surely, you will see how he came to be.

Read on!

I do not own the characters

Chapter Two: Meet Your Brother-in-Law

Emmett is the love of my life or should I say was?

I never seen a break-up so sweet. Maybe that's why it hurt so much. I was losing someone so good.

He came over late at night, slipping into my bed, spooning me against him. It wasn't anything new. At that time, he was living only a few doors down, with his own spare key to my apartment. He usually did this when he wanted late night fun, but this night he just held me. And that made me worry.

"Jacob," He had whispered delicately in my ear, "I've been thinking about us and what life would be without you. I just can't see it." His bear-like hands caressed my stomach absently. He knew me well enough to know I was getting where he was going with this. I began shaking. I pleaded with God silently that he was offering for me to move in with him or maybe he was proposing. The pessimist in me doubted this.

"I do love you, I do. And nothing will change between us. I will always be here."

"But not with me." I finished.

He held me as I unwillingly cried myself to sleep.

And here we were a year and a half later. Emmett now had to drive over to my house, though I figured it was better if he walked. He was barely a mile down. Along with that change, came the band on his finger. Yes, he was married and to a woman. The most beautiful woman I had ever seen despite Bella. He had met her months after leaving me, falling madly in love and eventually marrying her 6 months later. I didn't give him a chance to invite me to the wedding. I planned a trip back west visiting my old friends in La Push, telling him something came up. I knew he'd never tell me to this day that it hurt him. Everytime he talked about the wedding I could clearly see it did.

The sad thing is if I had a time machine, I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing again. Like I said, Emmett is the love of my life. Still.

"Okay, perhaps the most cliche movie, but it still rocked!" Emmett belted out in laughter as we left the theatre, "The special effects were pretty sweet, right?"

"I would say it was what saved the movie." I agreed, "That and Reynolds." He chuckled at that.

"Of course, Ryan Reynolds was eye candy." Sometimes I wondered if he was still attracted to men or if what he previously experienced really was college experimenting. We stepped out from under the cover of the theatre. I wasn't surprised to feel the gentle spinkles of rain on my hair.

Emmett looked up, frowning and putting an arm around my shoulder, "Aww babe, I should have brought an umbrella. You okay?"

I smiled, feeling comforted, "A little rain never hurt."

"But you just showered." He teased, winking at me. I felt his hand tug on my sloppy ponytail, "I love your hair the way it is. I don't want to see it get ruined." I lifted my head at his words, feeling my heart drop at the way he was staring at me. There were moments, brief moments when I thought he was mine. This was one of them.

"Let's find your car then." I took his hand in mine, guiding him around the block where his car waited a few feet away. We were lucky we came early for parking, otherwise we would have been soaked. Rain never just stays light in New York.
"Cool it, bro!" He said amused, "Don't you want to get something to eat?"

He knew me too well. I could eat a horse any time of the day. I swear there was a black hole in my stomach, never satisfied by the contents that entered.

"You said the magic word." I closed my eyes, picturing wings or a really juicy burger.

"Where to?"

He cocked his head behind him, "How about at my place?" I knew better than to think of his home where his wife was comfortably nestled on the couch reading a book or working or doing whatever wives do when alone. He was mentioning the club he had just opened not a year ago, right before he got married. The Cave, was probably one of the top clubs in the city. The regulars were varied from calebs to someone like me. It was also the top club for gay men to go on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not many clubs cattering to the world's important cared to do such a thing. Not to mention, he had the best cook ever. The food there was enough breathtaking. I was happy he offered. Not many people like spending time at their job when their not working. But Emmett was different from everyone else.

"We can walk." He held out his hand for me to take again, "I can stop at a store to get an umb-"

"I won't melt, Em."

He smiled that childish smile, "Of course. You're a Dorothy, not a wicked witch." He lifted our hands, kising the back of mine. I rolled my eyes. Another thing I adored about him, he had a heart of a queen despite his masculanity. The men could quote any Judy Garland movie and be (somewhat) straight at the same time.

Emmett knew better than to walk through the front door with me. He couldn't help himself to talking with the customers and helping those who couldn't get in. He was a natural pleaser and if there was time, he liked making sure everyone was doing okay. Going through the back meant little people and easier access to the kitchen. We walked in, both greeted wamly by the head cook and workers.

I was surprised to feel a body collide with mine, "Haven't seen you here in ages!" I laughed, realizing who it was.

"Things have been busy at work." I hugged him back.

"I was going to call, but I thought that you wouldn't know it was me." He gave me a toothy grin. The kid was a breath of fresh air. There was nothing to hate about it.

"Seth, why would I not know it's you?" He shrugged, elbowing the head cook who rolled her eyes. He was definately a perfect addition to the cooks in the club. I had spent many times back there, listening to their conversations as they worked. More amusing than most comedy movies. Seth especially.

The head cook, frowned playfully, "Wow Jake, you don't write."

I knew I was going to hear it from them, "Sorry Angela." I bit my lip, "I won't ever go that long without coming over again." She nodded in approval.

"Good." She finished touching up a plate, "Now go get seated. I know why you're here. I'll have your meal ready in 5."

I felt Emmett's hand on the small of my back guiding me towards the kitchen doors out to the hallway heading down to the club and VIP room. A few people passed, nodding in respect to Emmett and saying hellos to me. It wasn't until we were heading up the stairs to the special VIP room for Emmett did I catch someone else's eye.

"I should smack you with a dildo or something!" She screeched, hitting me with her tiny hands. I knew it was coming.

"Alice!" Emmett shouted in disapproval.

"What?" She pouted, "Jacob Black, you have alot of explaining to do! If it wasn't for Emmett, I would have thought you were dead." She crossed her arms impatiently waiting for an answer.

"Alot of things have been going on." I gave a weak answer.

"Things?" She repeated. I should have prepared myself for this. Alice was another close friend I made in my short time in the City. At one golden era of my life, it was just me Alice and Emmett. We were pretty inseperable until the big break-up. Ever since then, I would appear and diappear out of Alice's life. She never took it well, especially since now she worked with Emmett and expected to see more of me.

"Alice, give him a break. He hasn't eaten." She pouted at Emmett's voice, hearing the authority in it. He never liked it when she attacked me. It was something I was used to. Afterall, Alice acted out of concern.

"Fine." Her bottom lip trembled, "Just to let you know that arrogant rapper- who I refuse to name in fear of sudden lameness by association- said that he wants the whole Supreme VIP floor to him and his friends." She huffed out quickly.

"He can't have it." Emmett shrugged, "Me and Jacob will be up there."

Alice nodded, finally smiling in satisfaction, "Good."

I held up a hand to him, "Wait. We're not taking up a whole floor. I can go downstairs and eat-"

"Eat down there with them?" Emmett laughed as if he found something funny, "No. You get the best treatment."

"Talk about treatment, " Alice said icily, pointing a finger at me, "I'm coming over this weekend and there is nothing you can do to keep me away." I knew not to argue.

"Okay."

She raced downstairs, going through a door leading towards the front of the club occasionally turning to glare at me from the dance floor through the glass wall. Emmett chuckled lightly, taking my hand and pulling me up the stairwell.

"That girl is a trip." He said, walking through an arch and into a room where a stream of red light shone down on fluffy megenta seats. A screen about 50 inches big displayed colors and camera views of what was going on downstairs. The music was muffled due to us being on the other side of the glass wall. In here we could choose to have silence or press a button and get the music. I spent quite a few nights in this room as well. I sat down, watching the people dance on the screen. If I wasn't so hungry and tired, I probably would've been down there too enjoying myself.

Emmett must have noticed the distant longing in my eyes, "You coming tomorrow?"

I shrugged, "I don't think I could even make an appearance. With Bella here, I don't want to leave her home alone."

Emmett rolled his eyes, "You and I both know she won't be alone. She'll be banging that guy or something." He went on when I didn't answer, "You need a break, Jacob."

I thought about that for a minute. I haven't been working that hard. "Why?"

"You've been acting different ever since she called you up a few months ago saying she was engaged." Emmett was rarely ever serious, but the look in his eyes were nothing but, "You locked yourself away from everyone for 3 months. Alice calls relentlessy everyday and you never pick up. There were many nights I had to physically keep her from coming over."

I bit my lip, "Sorry."

"Don't apologise to me, buddy." He laughed, easing up a bit, "She's the one you'll have to deal with."

I sighed, kicking my legs out and my head back.

"But you do need to say sorry for what you've been doing to me." He said, mimicking my actions.

I sat up quickly looking at him, "What do you mean?"

"You're cancelling plans with me, disappearing for days. Jake, you've changed completely. Where's that happy, carefree, loving asshole I met three years ago?"

"Still here." I said flatly.

"But you've been so...different" There was that word again.

"Emmett," I said dryly, "I've been different for a long time now." This was what I didn't want. I didn't want him in my head. I didn't want him to know I still was following behind him like a lost puppy. He was married for Christ's sakes. He sat up, staring at me seriously. A hand cupped my cheek and I pulled away as if ice touched me.

"Don't." I warned. Another habit he needed to drop.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

I heard the distant thump of steps before Angela came in holding a tray, "Food's here!" She walked in with agility, placing the tray on the table. Emmett quickly pulled on his charm.

"Wow, that's alot Ang. Thanks, I know it's busy down there." He stared at the thick burger and fries, a large pink cream smoothie next to it. It was the usual I got.

"No problem." She winked at me, "Anything to bring Jake around." She headed back downstairs to the kithchen.

Emmett turned to me, placing a straw in the glass cup before holding it to my lips, "Come on, babe, have some. You look drained."

* * * *

I stopped in front of my apartment, breathing heavily wiping sweat from my brow. I didn't have time to go to the gym for the morning, so a 30 minute jog was going to have to do. I had to clean the apartment and make sure I had groceries.

I climbed up the stoop steps opening the front door before checking my mail in the small hallway.

Heading up the stairs with the mail in hand, I nearly dropped them all bumping into a solid body.

"Oh!" I heard a smooth, velvety soft voice respond. I felt a hand against my back, making sure I didn't tip over. My eyes shot up to meet the person I bumped into only to gasp when I saw the most beautiful green eyes.

"Sorry, I'm-" I stammered, taking in the rest of his face. He was breathtaking, "...clumsy."

"Didn't think we'd meet this way." He spoke these words so fluidly, I wasn't sure he had said them at at all.

"Excuse me?" I asked, hoping I didn't hear him right.

"Bella doesn't have a spare key and we called. I told her I'd hang here while she went to go get something from the grocery store. She had a feeling you wouldn't be prepared." All I could comprehend was his hand was still on my back, "Sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Edward."

That did it for me. I snapped out of my reverie.

"Oh! Man, I-" I stammered again, "I thought you guys would be here tonight. I'm not even-"

"Don't worry about it." His sultry voice was intoxicating, "Bella wanted to get an early start. We took an earlier flight."

I did my best not to mind his hand, nodding to let him know I understood. "Sorry to make you wait."

He bit his lip, watching me closely, "Not a problem." I dug into my pocket, fumbling with my keys as I attempted to unlock the door. No wonder she was marrying so soon. This guy seriously had a dazzling effect!
