I DON'T own Twilight. I never will. Maybe in some parallel universe. I don't own the characters that Ms. Meyer has created. I only own the characters I've created and the plot of this story.

Once again, just a quick reminder to the people who have just started reading this story. THIS IS A SEQUEL and you have to read my previous fanfic: STAY CLOSE DON'T GO for the plot to make sense. Now that thats out of the way...I have some thanks to give!

Jayla's POV

"I can't believe you wanted to make a hit and run with Wesley. What a good impression we're making being the new kids"

"Oh, can it already Jayla" he snapped "I said I wouldn't do it. I'm not gonna risk anything"

"I'm sorry" I said as I plugged my earphones in my ears "just…"

"You like him don't you?"

"What are you talking about?" I looked at him

"Now who's being blind?" he smiled "I may be a jerk, idiot, whatever it is you wanna call me…but I am your brother…and I'm your twin. Like it or not Jay, we're weirdly connected and linked in thought"

"Are you getting all mythical on me all of a sudden?" I asked

"Think about it for a minute and then get back to me, you know that you have a sixth sense when it comes to me and my thoughts as well"

I didn't say anything. Maybe because he was right. We headed to the Cullen's, straight into Forks without even stopping for anything else. We headed up the Cullen's driveway and parked the car. "So how long are we staying here for?"

"We can drive now" Maddox smirked "we can stay as long as we like"

We headed up to the steps and stood at the front of the door. I didn't even have to knock, before my hand even collided with the wooden white door, Aunt Alice had already answered it. "Jayla! Maddox!" she grabbed us both and held us tightly "how is my beautiful god daughter?" she said as she let us go. Maddox walked into the house to say hello to his uncles. Alice and I were still standing in the doorway; she took my face in her hands "look how pretty you're gotten" she chimed.

"Thanks Aunt Alice" I smiled. Mum and here were really close, apparently Aunt Alice was there for mum when she and dad were going through rough patches before me and Maddox were born. And even when she's mad, she still goes to see Alice. We went inside where she led me to the kitchen where Uncle Emmett and Edward were. "Where is Uncle Jasper and Aunt Rosalie and Carlisle?"

"Out hunting" she smiled at me. "Emmett! Edward! Say hello to your goddaughter" the two of them were wrestling on the kitchen floor where Esme was manoeuvring around them. Maddox was at the kitchen bench already halfway through the basket of muffins that she had made. I looked at Maddox in aghast.

"Can you control yourself please?"

I looked at Aunt Alice who was looking at him like she had never seen a human eat that fast, ever. "Sorry Aunty A, if only you knew how good it tastes!"

Edward and Emmett got up and walked toward me "Hello Jayla" Edward smiled. I saw Bella approach us; she was probably watching them wrestle.

"Hello Jayla" she smiled at me.

"Hello Uncle Edward, Aunt Bells" I smiled. Dad had somewhat influenced me and Maddox to call her 'Bells'. She didn't seem to mind.

"What about me kiddo? Your favourite uncle not gonna get a mention?" Uncle Emmett said as he ruffled my hair.

"Uncle Emmett!" I said as I took his hand away from my hair.

"No calling me uncle, it makes me feel old" he corrected "just Emmett, the man, bomb or whatever nickname you can come up with"

"A one hundred something year old vampire feeling old? Where would you ever get that impression from Emmett?" Alice asked sarcastically

"Can it short stuff" he glared at her.

"Got it" I nodded and then turned to Esme "Esme" I said as I walked toward her and gave her a hug. She was the grandmother we never had. Both mum and dad's mothers had died before we were born, and Esme was really the only one we saw as a mother, but she definitely didn't look like one. She was happy to adopt us as part of her family; we were part of her growing brood with me, Maddox, mum and dad adding to the expansion.

"Hello my darling" she said as she kissed me on the head "how have you been? Maya told me you started school today"

"Oh yeah" Maddox nodded "it was fun, we are so popular at La Push High"

"Right on" Emmett said as he high-fived Maddox

"By the way, Jay" Alice approached me "how are your parents. I mean I see them almost everyday, but…how have they been with you and your brother lately?"

"They're going well" I nodded "they've gone a little bit over protective overdrive lately. But I guess maybe it's because we're at that age" I answered.

"So nothing has happened yet?" Alice asked "your mum doesn't tell me these things, but I thought I should ask"

"Ask what?"

"They haven't mentioned anything? Anything that's going to happen in the future?"

"Nope" I shook my head "why?"

"I think you should tell her Alice, both her and Maddox. They do have a right to know" Edward said

"And we aren't their parents, Edward" Alice glared at him "think of that before you go open your big mouth"

"About what?" Maddox asked

"Yes" I nodded to Maddox's question "about what?"

"See? You've got them asking questions now! Maya and Jacob are going to kill me!" she whined. "I would've expected this attitude from Emmett, but from you Edward?" she glared.

Emmett smiled until he realised what Alice had said "Hey!"

"Anyway, forget about what Edward said, your parents will tell you in due time. But don't tell them we mentioned anything…they'll kill me"

"Which would be quite funny to watch" Emmett commented.

Alice glared and hissed at him. Emmett made a face.

"Edward, please hit him on the head for me"

"On it" he nodded as he did what Alice commanded.

"It's nothing bad, is it?" I asked

"What's bad?" Alice looked at me

"The thing that our parents are supposed to tell us, it's not bad…is it?"

"I'm not sure what to call it" she shrugged "but whatever happens, we're going to be here protecting you"

"Thanks" I nodded weirdly, I walked over to the basket of muffins that Maddox was grasping in his hands and took one. "I think we better go soon, mum and dad will probably want to know how the day is, and plus…I have Spanish homework to do"

"Jaylaaaa" Maddox whined "I wanna stay!"

"We can come back tomorrow!" I said as I walked around to everyone giving them hugs and saying that I'll be seeing them soon. "Hurry up Maddox, the phone is going to ring-" My mobile phone started to ring "any moment" I finished monotonously. "Hello?"

"Hey Jay"

"Hey mum" I answered

"Why aren't you and your brother here at home? I thought you got to finish early today?"

"How did you know that?" I asked.

"One of your friends called. I think her name was Jasmine or something. But yeah she told me that you finished school early and she wanted you to call her back"

"Oh" I nodded in surprise. "Alright, then we'll be home soon"

"Where are you anyway?" she asked.

"With the Cullens" I answered "Maddox wanted food" I sighed

"Exactly like your father. Be sure to bring some home for him. You know how he gets when Maddox takes all the food"

"I will mum" I nodded. Dad and Maddox had the same appetites. They could basically eat anything and everything. There would be arguments over food most dinner times. And when it came to Esme's muffins dad and Maddox would go crazy over them.

"Alright, well I'll see you soon. Take care, love you. Bye"

"Bye" I said as I hung up "hey 'dox we really have to go now"

"Why?"

"Mum called, and she wants us to be home. Oh and bring some muffins home for dad"

"Fat chance" he smirked.

"Which is why I baked an extra set for your father and mother" Esme said handing over a basket of muffins to me. Maddox eyed them like a hawk.

"Back off!" I said as I clutched the basket closely to me "this is for mum and dad…and me" I glared "you have a whole basket to yourself"

"Fine" he pouted, he got up and said goodbye to everyone "we'll probably be comin' round tomorrow"

"Come on Maddox" I said as I headed out the door "See you's all! Love you!"

Maddox walked straight past me and opened the door for me. We headed to the car and headed home.

On the way, down the main road, my phone rang. Maddox and I were in our own little worlds. I had my iPod speakers in my ears and Maddox had his music playing on the stereo. "Hello?"

"Hey Jayla" I heard a familiar voice "its me, Jaz!"

"Oh, hey Jasmine" I nodded "how are you?"

"Great! I just wanted to call you and say like, it was awesome meeting you and stuff like that"

"Thanks, it was great meeting you too"

"I was wondering, if you weren't too busy, like this afternoon or evening that you, me, Ellie and Sam go out to watch a movie and shop. You know, do what girls do"

"Oh" I looked at Maddox who was staring straight. I saw him mouth the word 'tribe meeting' "I'd love to, but I have a tribe meeting to go to this evening and its kinda really important I be there and everything"

"Oh" I heard her sigh in disappointment

"But hey, maybe you can come along. The Quileutes love sharing their tribal stories to anyone who'd wanna hear it. It's at First Beach so you can come hang out at my house before it. That is…if you want to"

"Great! We'll be there in an hour" her voice immediately lit up "I've always wanted to go to one of those tribal meeting things, but I never knew anyone who could invite me along"

I laughed "Well now you do, see ya Jaz"

"See you soon Jay. Bye!" she said as she hung up. I looked at Maddox who was still staring straight at the road.

"They're coming aren't they?" he asked.

"Yep" I nodded "why don't you invite your friends too?"

"Yeah, alright" he said as he pulled over to the side of the road.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Well I can't drive and talk on the phone at the same time Jayla" he said as he unbuckled his seat belt "you're driving all the way back home while I call Despo and Zackary"

"Despo?" I asked as I got out of the car. We switched sides.

"Caleb's nickname" he answered as he sat in the front seat and did his seat belt up. He took his phone out of his pocket and dialled the number. I got in the car and started to drive. It was funny; we both got our learner permits at the same time, on the same day. Pretty stereotypical stuff considering that we were twins. The people at the Department of Motor Vehicles thought because we were twins we were telepathically telling each other the answers, but with a few 'kind' words from mum and dad, we eventually got them. Nobody was scathed, just the DMV's ego's. "Hey man, I was wondering, that tribal meeting thing that my tribe has at First beach, you in?" I heard some mumbling on the other line from Caleb. "Sweet, alright I'll see you soon then. Yeah, remember to tell Zack. K, sweet dude. Bye" he hung up "well that's all set"

"Great" I nodded. I then had a sudden shock of realisation. We had never bought anyone to our house before. And for one reason, our parents…and the fact they didn't look like our parents only made it worse. I started to speed.

"What are you doing you maniac?" he said as he gripped onto the dashboard "are you trying to kill us?"

"We have to get home as soon as possible!" I looked at him.

"What's the rush?"

"What if our friends decide to come early and mum and dad introduce themselves as our parents?"

Maddox's eyes widened "Floor it!" It was now a somewhat race against time to get to our parents and tell them that our friends were coming over. Mum and dad would probably freak out, and probably from estimation, Maddox's friends would make a pass at mum and dad would go schizo and probably display very un-human like abilities. "Why didn't you think of it before Jayla?"

"Jasmine was upset that I couldn't come shopping with her. These are my first set of friends at La Push high and I don't really intend to blow them off on the first day they ask me to hang out"

"God, you girls and your shopping" he said as he put the volume up in the car "we have to ask them too if they can come to the meeting as well"

"I know" I nodded and took a deep breath. We were heading home, preparing ourselves and hoping that none of our friends had made it to the house before we did. Because if so, our family's secret would be revealed.

Maddox's POV

"I can't believe you wanted to make a hit and run with Wesley. What a good impression we're making being the new kids"

"Oh, can it already Jayla" I snapped at her. Does this sister of mine ever shut up? "I said I wouldn't do it. I'm not gonna risk anything" I said as we turned into the main road. Actually, I wouldn't mind if I got rid of Wesley Harper. I think I'd be doing this school a favour in being rid of someone like him. Think about it, if I did get rid of him…he's adoring band of ladies would quit staring at him and do work, Jayla wouldn't have a reason to be so snide every time I'd make a joke about running someone over with a car, and less hassle for me to always keep an eye on her. It was easier to keep tabs on her that way. See, the world works without Wesley Harper. It sure would make my life a hell of a lot easier when it came to protecting Jaylala.

"I'm sorry" she apologised, finally she realises that I'm not the bad guy after all "just…"

"You like him don't you?" I observed. If there was one thing I knew about my sister, she gets very defensive with the people that she likes.

"What are you talking about?"

Karma sister. "Now who's being blind?" I smiled at her "I may be a jerk, idiot whatever it is you wanna call me…but I am your brother and I'm your twin. Like it or not Jay, we're weirdly connected and linked in thought"

"Are you getting all mythical on me all of a sudden?" she asked

"Think about it for a minute and then get back to me, you know that you have a sixth sense when it comes to me and my thoughts as well"

She didn't say anything. I think she wanted the wise words of mine to sink into that thick, stubborn skull of hers. We had arrived at our 'home away from home.' I never got sick of coming to this place. It was always like a five-star hotel. And the food that Esme and Uncle Edward would cook would be mouth watering. Sometimes if I thought of moving out…I'd know where I'd go. Straight to the Cullen's. "So how long are we staying here for?" she asked as we both got out of the car.

"We can drive now" I said dangling the keys as I smirked. Thank god for the gift of driving and thank god that my parents had gave in into letting me and Jayla drive the rabbit. "We can stay as long as we like"

We headed up the stairs and Aunt Alice had answered the door. She already knew that we were coming. Saves us the energy of knocking on the door. "Jayla! Maddox!" she grabbed the both of us and hugged really hard. I think any harder she would've broken a rib. "How is my beautiful god daughter?" she let us go. I was free to walk into the house.

"Hey M!" Emmett came over and gave me a big bear hug. He was the older brother I never had; I think he was the first one to teach me how to say the word cool and the word bomb. I think. From what I could remember anyway. "How's it goin'? Are you breaking some hearts at school?"

"Too early to tell" I said as we both walked into the kitchen "but I have certainly caught some eyes"

"That a boy" he said as he patted me on the back "I have taught you well"

"Excuse me a minute" Emmett said as he ran into Edward and wrestled him into the ground.

"Be careful will you! Esme loves these things!" I saw Aunt Bella yell at Emmett. She turned and saw me "Hey Maddox"

"Hey Aunt Bells" I nodded and sat by the kitchen bench.

"Maddox" I heard my second mother Esme say as she placed a bunch of muffins on the bench in front of me. "Hungry?"

"Very" I nodded as I grabbed one and started to wolf them down. Figuratively speaking because I couldn't phase yet. Damn it.

I heard Jayla and Aunt Alice waltz into the kitchen. I think Jayla still looked disturbed every time she saw me eat food. I looked at Aunty Alice, she looked disturbed, scared even. "Sorry Aunty A, if only you knew how good it tastes!"

I think Emmett and Edward had stopped wrestling because I didn't hear anymore complaints from Bells and taunting from one or the other. All of them had said hello to Jayla.

Esme had greeted Jayla and told her that mum had said to them that it was our first day of school today. She was probably worried so she spoke to them about it. "Maya told me you started school today" she smiled.

"Oh yeah" I nodded answered "it was fun, we are so popular at La Push High" and it was true. We hadn't done anything amazing, we didn't piss off any teachers, we didn't start fights with anyone at school, and we didn't do anything. The only thing that we did or the only thing that we have done all our lives is admit that me and Jayla are twins and suddenly we're talked about and stared at throughout the whole school.

"Right on" Emmett high-fived me. I think he liked the whole fact that I had somehow been moulded to be liking. I think sometimes he'd refer to me as his protégé. Dad and Emmet would have turns in corrupting my mind. Mum on the other hand wasn't too happy that I was becoming a hybrid of Emmett and dad rolled into one. I think she was scared more than angry.

"By the way Jay" Alice approached my sister "how are your parents. I mean I see them almost everyday, but…how have they been with you and your brother lately?" what did she mean by that? Is there something that she knows that we don't know? Care to expand a little bit more Aunt Alice so I know what's going on?

"They're going well" Jayla answered "they've gone a little bit over protective overdrive lately. But I guess maybe it's because we're at that age" Jayla…stop justifying mum and dad's actions! They have been oxygen-sucking protective of us the moment we hit the moment we hit 17.

"So nothing has happened yet?" Alice asked. Happened? Is something meant to be happening. Aunt Alice! You're the future teller, just tell us already "Your mum doesn't tell me these things, but I thought I should ask"

"Ask what?" Jayla tilted her head in confusion.

"They haven't mentioned anything? Anything that's going to happen in the future?" she asked. What is going to happen? Aunt Alice! Tell us!

"Nope, why?"

"I think you should tell her Alice, both her and Maddox. They do have a right to know" Edward said. Thank you! Finally someone who is reading my mind! Literally.

"And we aren't their parents, Edward" Alice glared at him "think of that before you go open your big mouth"

"About what?" I asked. If it was something to do with me and my sister, Edward was right, we did have a right to know.

"Yes" Jayla nodded "about what?"

"See? You've got them asking questions now! Maya and Jacob are going to kill me" she whined. Aw Aunt Alice, don't whine…you can't die remember? The best thing that mum and dad could do is probably yell and dad would break a few walls or something…but hey, they wouldn't kill you. Mum loves you too much and plus I think dad enjoys having you's around. "I would've expected this attitude from Emmett, but from you Edward?" she glared.

Uncle E smiled until he realised that Alice was insulting him "Hey!" I let out a cough/laugh. Emmett glared at me and I continued to eat the muffins that Esme had made for me. Sorry for having a sense of humour.

"Anyway, forget about what Edward said, your parents will tell you in due time. But don't tell them we mentioned anything…they'll kill me"

"Which would be quite funny to watch" he commented. Alice glared and hissed at him. Emmett made a face to her.

"Edward, please hit him on the head for me"

"On it" he nodded. He walked over to Emmett and smacked him on the head. Emmett rubbed his head; I think Uncle Edward was stronger than what he looks to be. I completely zoned out by what they were saying because I was staring off into the distance about something. Leah. I wonder how she was going. No, Maddox no thoughts about Leah. Ever.

Jayla walked up toward me and took a muffin, my muffin. "I think we better go soon, mum and dad will probably want to know how the day is, and plus…I have Spanish homework to do" she said as she took a bite. Spanish homework?! Since when did we have Spanish homework? I don't remember being assigned to it. Meh, its ok…I'll copy it off Jayla when she's done.

"Jaylaaaa" I didn't want to go yet. I wanted to stay a little bit longer and hang out with my uncles. I wanna stay!"

"We can come back tomorrow!" she said as she walked to the Cullen's and gave them hugs. "Hurry up Maddox, the phone is going to ring-" her phone began to ring as she said that. That was a lucky shot, a fluke "any moment…hello?"

While she was talking on the phone I continued to talk with Uncle Edward and Aunt Bells. "So how was school today anyway Maddox?" she asked.

"Meh, it was ok. I mean, we were getting stared at a lot"

"I hate that" Edward rolled his eyes "Bella did that a lot when we were back in high school"

"It was for a good reason" she smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh please" I said as I turned away "my parents do that at home, please don't make me witness that mushiness here too"

"Maddox, maybe one day you'll know what it's like to have someone you love"

"Ewww, that's sounds so girly and frilly to me" I said as I squirmed at Bells' comment.

"How is Leah these days anyway?" Edward asked "Seth has been around for a visit every now and then, he's been filling us in. He says that she's very worried about you because you try to avoid her at all costs"

"How would you know tha-" I cut off in mid-sentence as I realised who it was "Mum told you?"

"Yep" he nodded and smiled.

Before I could say anything, Jayla had interrupted

Mum called, and she wants us to be home. Oh and bring some muffins home for dad"

"Fat chance" I smirked and clutched the muffins tighter to me.

"Which is why I baked an extra set for your father and mother" Esme said handing over a basket of muffins to Jayla. Sweet, another set of muffins that I can claim as mine

"Back off!" she said "this is for mum and dad…and me" she glared "you have a whole basket to yourself"

"Fine" I said as I got up and said goodbye to all of them "we'll probably be comin' round tomorrow"

"Come on Maddox" Jayla ordered as she headed out of the door, but she had to make her sweet and innocent mark on them "See you's all! Love you!"

We headed to the car and headed home. Halfway through our journey home, Jayla's phone rang. That annoying song that she'd always play in her room was her ringtone. I was so tempted to break the phone and her stereo.

"Hello?" I heard her say. It was probably one of her friends that she made. "Hey Jasmine"

I was right. Right, so we continued to drive straight, I started to stare and think about forbidden thoughts again. Leah. But I shook it off and decided to eavesdrop on Jayla's conversation; I think I could make out some of it. "…go to movies and shop"

Jayla looked at me to which I had mimed 'Tribal meeting'

I heard her tell them that she wasn't able to make it. I thought that was the end of the conversation but no, she had to just invite them along didn't she? "But hey, maybe you can come along. The Quileutes love sharing their tribal stories to anyone who'd wanna hear it. It's at First Beach so you can come hang out at my house before it. That is if you want to"

I heard the muffled voice in the background call out 'Great'

"They're coming aren't they?" I looked at her. I didn't want the people coming, that way dad wouldn't be able to tell us the stories of the Quileute wars and battles. Damn it. Jayla had spoilt another tribe meeting for me…again.

"Yep" she nodded "why don't you invite your friends too?" she suggested. That was actually a good idea. Instead of being stuck with four seventeen year old girls, I could invite my friends. Genius Jayla. I decided to pull over, I wasn't going to risk being pulled over on the side of the road by a cop for talking on the phone while driving and I sure as hell can't multitask. I know Jayla can, but I can't.

"What are you doing?"

"Well I can't drive and talk on the pone at the same time Jayla" I said as I unbuckled my seat belt "you're diving all the way back home while I call Despo and Zackary"

"Despo?" she asked

"Caleb's nickname" I answered as I got into the front seat of the car. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled Caleb's number. Jayla had started driving now and we were heading home.

"Hello?"

"Hey man, its Maddox"

"Hey Dox, sgoin' on?"

"Yeah not much, just on my way home. Hey man, I was wondering, that tribal meeting thing that my tribe has at First beach, you in?"

"Yeah man, that would be awesome! I'll tell Zackary. He'll be psyched as. We'll be there in like an hour or something"

"Sweet, alright I'll see you soon then. And yeah, remember to tell Zack"

"Alright dude, no problem"

"K, sweet dude. Bye" I hung up the phone and looked at Jayla "well that's all set"

"Great" Jayla nodded. I think this was the first time Jayla and I had actually bought people to the tribal meeting. I was very protective eof the tribe. Maybe it's because dad and the others had taken it really seriously and the spiritual side of it as mum would always say is overwhelming. And it kinda makes you feel all patriotic to the Quileute tribe or something like that. My thoughts had been interrupted when Jayla had decided that she start to speed in order to get home faster.

"What are you doing you maniac?" I said as I gripped onto the dashboard for support, I thought I was going to fall or slip to the side or something "are you trying to kill us?"

"We have to get home as soon as possible!" she looked at me

"What's the rush?" they said they'll be coming in an hour Jayla.

"What If our friends decide to come early and introduce themselves to our parents?"

Crap! She was right. Then our thing would be revealed. As if the attention on us at school was already huge. We didn't need anymore of this "Floor it!"

Jayla did as she was told and we started to zoom on the road, creating blurs of colours as we sped past them. "Why didn't you think of it before Jayla?"

"Jasmine was upset that I couldn't come shopping with her. These are my first set of friends at La Push High and I don't really intend to blow them off on the first day they ask me to hang out"

"God you girls and your shopping" I rolled my eyes. I don't understand what's so great about it. A shirt and jeans is enough for me "we have to ask them too if they can come to the meeting as well" by them, I meant our parents.

"I know" she nodded and took a deep breath. I was hoping that we get our butt's back at home on time, because if mum and dad do tell them that they are our parents…we're screwed. Big time.

I felt this chapter was a little bit blegh, but I had to put a little bit of curiousness into the story. And i'm glad its over and done with now. I really like the next chapter...i think its my favourite one so far...

Please read and review.

Peace and Love
