Chapter 3 : At the beach

I heard the final slam of the car door as I neared the shoreline. I could feel myself being pulled towards the water.

"Kyri! What are you doing!" Jacob exclaimed as he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a warm embrace. As soon as I was held against his body I snapped back to reality.

"I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was doing." I replied back.

"No, I'm the one who's sorry I didn't mean to accuse you of anything. I just didn't know what to believe." he explained, "I'm still willing to give it a try if you still want to."

"Jacob I…" I knew what I wanted to say but I couldn't figure out how to say it so he'd understand, "I'd love to its just I don't know if I'd be able to fully trust you again."

"I'll do whatever it takes to regain your trust. I promise."

"Jacob I'm sorry but I cant. Its not that simple, not for me. I listened to you when you told me about you being a werewolf and you decided not to listen to me." I replied as I walked away from him; twice now without saying another word. I got into my car and drove to the only sane place I had left.

When I pulled into the driveway of my house I noticed a car on the street, one I've never seen before. 'Great who did Zac and Tinker invite over now.' I thought to myself as I walked up to the front door. I opened the door and put my coat in the closet. As I walked by the living room I saw Edward out of the corner of my eye, I started walking up the stairs when I heard Zac call me.

"Kyri…"

"Yes Zac?" I answered back.

"Come here and say hi to Edward."

"I wish I could but I have two tests to study for. I'll be up in my room."

"Alright."

I closed my bedroom door behind me and grabbed my English textbook. I really didn't need to study since I knew everything by heart already, but I didn't want to lie to Zac. I was almost done with my chapter in one of my stories when there was a knock on my door. "Go away." I said as I continued to write only looking up when I heard my door open, "Last time I knew when someone says go away it means leave not come in."

"I just wanted to talk to you." Edward replied.

"Well I don't want to talk to you." I told him as I closed my notebook.

"Please just hear me out. I never meant for you to fall for me and I didn't expect to fall for you in the process. It just happened."

"Well that's nice to know now if you don't mind I have a chapter to finish before I forget what I want to write."

"Alright. See you tomorrow at school then?"

"Yeah, sure." I replied as he walked out of my room closing the door behind him. Wow first Edward bugs me at school, then I get somewhat kidnapped by Jacob and now I find out from Edward himself that he has feelings for me. 'I'd love to know how today could get any worse.' I thought to myself as I kept writing. I fell asleep about an hour later and was woken up by what sounded like my window opening, but when I looked up it was closed. I shrugged it off as I turned to turn off my lamp only to find an unexpected person standing there.

"Hey Kyri long time no see."

"Mikilla? What are you doing here?" I asked halfway terrified.

"What I can't talk to my girlfriend?" he replied walking towards the bed. I backed away at every step he took.

"I'm not your girlfriend anymore you know that. I broke it off with you when I left Miami." I told him as I could feel my anger rising inside me as my hands started to get really warm, "Besides after everything that happened in the forest do you really think I want to be with you?"

"You know I would never hurt you." He replied in a surprisingly caring voice as he touched my hand. I jumped backwards at his cold touch against my warm hand; I wasn't expecting it to be as cold as it was. Mikilla leaned over and caught me before I could hit the floor, "Sorry about that." He apologized as he laid me back down on my bed. He stood back up when he was done; he looked like he was going to leave.

"Don't leave." I told him as he turned around to face me again. For some reason I wanted him to stay, I felt the attraction that I first had when we first agreed to start dating, "Please don't leave." I said again as he walked back over to me.

"Is everything okay Kyri? You seem really confused."

"No I'm not okay. I try to move on with my life but I can't. I have three guys that like me and that I like back but I don't know who to choose. One's engaged, the other doesn't listen to me and judges to quickly an the last one just makes me fall even more in love with him every time I'm near him."

"Sounds like you don't know what you want, but it also sounds like guy number three is your best shot."

"But I don't want to get hurt again." I replied laying my head back down onto my pillow while he lay down next to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"You know, no matter what happens in your lifetime you're going to get hurt more than once."

"Yeah I know. Its just that's one of the things that I wish wasn't true." I replied trying not to close my eyes knowing that if I did I wouldn't wake up till morning and by then all of this would be gone.

Like I figured when I woke up the next morning he was gone. You would think that I'm used to him leaving but I'm not, I never have been. Like always I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for school. When I sat down in my first hour class I was shocked, Mikilla was sitting there with almost all the girls in the class. I sat down and right away I heard him say hi.

"Hey Kyri, whats up?" he greeted.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"I transferred here. You know to make sure nothing happens to my girl."

"So I'm your girl again. Don't I have a say in this?"

"You could say yes. There's no harm in that."

"Fine I'll say yes but only because I believe in second chances and because I don't want all these people staring at me." Throughout the rest of the day I fell into the same pattern with him that I ended a little more then a year ago. I also got evil glares from all the girls that were in our classes but I didn't care about that I love him and I actually feel like someone really does care enough to protect me again. When lunch came around I sat at my usual spot with Mikilla sitting and my left now and Edward and Bella sitting across from us. I could tell by the look in Edwards' eyes that he didn't like Mikilla but he decided to be polite anyway.

"Congratulations you two." He greeted with a smile.

"Thanks Edward, that means a lot. I replied before putting my hand on top of the one Mikilla had on top of the table.
