I am officially a sophomore, and no longer a baby frosh (which is freshman at my school) So… YIPPIE! Anyway on to other stuff. Sorry about my rant in my last chapter. I was having a bad day and…. Let's just say some people pissed me off extremely bad. So yep that's that.

Now. I am seriously shocked to see how many alerts I have had. You have no idea. I bet I have way over 30 and it's only been a few days. So thank you to all my alerters for doing that. But, I am also seriously disappointed. I judge how good my story is by the amount of reviews I get. And sadly out of all those alerts, hardly anyone reviewed. So I take that to mean that not very many people like my story, regardless how many favorite story and favorite author alerts I get. PLEASE. I am begging you to review. I could really use the reassurance. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW. So anyway on to responses.

Hardcoretwilighter1979: Thanks that means a lot to me. There mine to. ;)

bowsie22: I know it is sad. I have recently contemplated my mental sanity. Seeing as all my stories have been sad like this one, which I'm sure you know well what I'm talking about. Oh well it does make for an interesting read, or so I'm told. Here is your more.

NMSilver: Glad you reviewed even though you don't have an account. I like crying Jacob better than crying Edward if you get what I'm saying. It's just… weird seeing crying Edward… I don't know what I'm saying so don't ask. I'm glad you're hooked. Hope you like this chapter equally as well.

anon: Glad you liked it. Don't worry this story is FAR from over.

Only-A-Favorited: Thank you. Here is more. Hope you like it.

(*Nameless*): Okay so you didn't put a name so I thought I'd make one up for ya. You like? Lol. Okay your review seriously made me laugh out loud. I'm the author I can cut you off like that. You remind me of me. I have threatened people with pitchforks when the give me cliffhangers that I seriously want to know about. Lol. Don't worry I update fairly often. At least I try. Thank you I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for admiring that fact and proving to me that people actually do read my little author note thingies. I really don't see the big deal either. Yes they're good books. (besides the fact that some of the ideas are stolen) But that's no reason to totally obsess over them. I agree. That's how real vampires are. But sadly for the sake of my story, the vampires are going to have to be able to go out in the sun. Only for the sake of my story though. Normally I like them burning in the sun, but you know you can't always expect things to go your way ALL the time. Glad you like it and I will write on.

3taz2: Glad you love it.

Thank you all who reviewed. Next time I hope I get A LOT more. PLEASE. It takes two seconds. Don't be lazy people.

Can't be helped

Chapter 2

Walking down the stairs, Jacob gripped Edward's hand tighter. He was about to come face to face with the members of his ex-pack, the boys who hurt him so badly, and he was terrified. He tried his hardest not to show he was scared, but knew that his obvious shaking would give it away.

They walked into the living room where everyone was. The overwhelming scent of blood assaulted his nostrils the second he stepped into the room. All the vampires and Seth were standing there, crowded around the couch. Carlisle knelt in front of it, medicine bag beside him.

Jacob pushed his way through the mass of vampires and was met with the sight of two of his former pack members, completely covered in blood. All of the terror that was so mind consuming was instantly replaced by complete rage when he was faced with the sight of Embry and Quil. They sat next to each other, shoulders slightly touching and hands clasped together. Jacob knelt in front of them, placing his hands on either side of their clasped ones.

"I- I think I need to leave. I'm sorry it's… the blood. I need to… bye," Alice said running out of the room. The others followed her. All that was left were the werewolves, Edward, and Carlisle.

"Jake were so sorry. We didn't mean everything we did to you. But, Sam's been hurting us for a while, ever since he found out we were together. I knew if I didn't do what I was told he would kill Quil and I can't live without him. I'm sure you know what it's like to imprint on someone. Now imagine him maybe dying. You would do whatever you possibly could to keep him safe right?" Jacob only nodded and Embry continued.

"I- I lost control. They were all hurting Quil and- I couldn't take it anymore. They hurt him so badly, raped him. They all did. I protected him and they all came at me at once. When we got away, three hours later, we ran as fast as we could. But I- I fell and couldn't get up. I was so weak. Quill wasn't strong enough to carry me, since he had been beaten and… raped. But he wouldn't leave me, no matter how many times I begged him to. That's when Emmett found us. He picked me up and carried me here, Quil followed him. I-The pack. They're coming. The packs coming after us. Sam doesn't want us to escape. He would miss… his play things too much. I'm sorry Jacob. So sorry," Embry gasped out between his tears and obvious pain.

Jacob was filled with even more rage, knowing everything the pack had done to his friends. He had known they didn't want to hurt him. Seeing the pain that crossed across their face when it happened, expressions begging for forgiveness, made him realize that they really hadn't met to hurt him. He was confused and didn't understand why they didn't just help him, but now he knew. And if he was faced with the same situation he would have done the same thing.

"It's okay. I forgive you guys. Don't worry. We'll keep you guys safe. We'll keep the pack away," Jacob said, squeezing their hands tightly.

"I'm so sorry Jacob. What we did to you was unforgivable. We really don't deserve your forgiveness. But I'm glad you understand that we really didn't have a choice. I never would have hit you if I had. I am so sorry," Quil whispered, avoiding Jacob's eyes.

"Hey. Look at me," Jacob said waiting 'til Quil was looking at him. "I understand why you did what you did. You did what you did to protect the one you love, the one you imprinted on. I understand everything. If I was faced with the same situation, I would do whatever I could to protect Edward."

Edward came up behind Jacob and placed his hands on his shoulders, squeezing gently. "I'm not going to lie to you, what you guys did hurt Jacob. It hurt him badly. The emotional pain he went through afterwards was unbearable and he has nightmares almost every night because of it. But, he did tell me that you guys did the very least to him, and you were the only ones who looked like they regretted it. He didn't understand why you guys were doing what you did to him. And I hated you almost as much as I hate Sam. You hurt him so badly. You guys were his best friends and you beat him.

"I understand now why you did what you did. And even though I will never fully forgive you, I understand what happened and why you did what you did. I can tell Jacob forgives you, and that's enough to make me forgive you as well," Edward said reaching out his hand to shake. He didn't even squeeze as tight as he possibly could.

The room was thrust into silence until Carlisle spoke. "I checked their wounds. Most of them are already healed. They both need to take a shower to get all the blood off them but they should be fine." Jacob gave a quiet sigh, glad that his friends were safe.

Seth had been fairly quiet. He chose now to speak. "I- I- can't believe they did this to you guys to. What the fuck is their problem. They say it's wrong to be gay, but then Sam goes and rapes a bunch of guys and lets the entire pack rape Quil. I don't get it, I just don't get it," Seth screamed out.

Before Jacob could respond a growl could be heard from outside. Jacob knew that growl well. It was the sound Sam made when he wanted to show his authority. The pack had arrived. And they were angry.

Okay so I know I told you guys there wouldn't be a cliff hanger but… I couldn't resist. Plus I am so tired right now I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Until next time peeps. REVIEW!
