"I'll just leave then."

I turned around and walked out. He didn't really want to see me. Billy set this whole thing up. Both him and Charlie set this up. Charlie must be pretty thick if he thinks I'm still going to fall for Jake. I do love Jake, but like a brother. Why couldn't they understand that?

"Bella, wait up!"

I didn't stop, but he caught up easily anyways. "Bella, I'm sorry. Stay. Please?"

"Sorry?" I said. "You don't want to have anything to do with me. Why should I stay?"

He shrugged. "You don't have to stay. I figured maybe you wanted to catch up, figure some things out."

I sighed. He knew I'd stay. "Fine."

He smiled, my smile, and I couldn't help but smile back.

"So, how's your summer been?" he asked.

"Pretty good. Alice has been dragging me everywhere trying to find the right dress-"

I stopped. I didn't want to make things difficult already. "Umm, what about your summer?"

A quick glance told me he was relieved at the change of topic.

"Good. I mean, as good as it could get without you there."

I sighed. "Jake, you were the one who kept me out, remember?"

"I know. I guess I thought I couldn't handle it. Not if I didn't at least have a shot with you."

"I thought we agreed to be friends."

"Right, sorry."

There was a pause. I took a deep breath. "The wedding is in a few weeks. I'm officially inviting you. You and the whole gang."

He gave me a weak smile. "Thanks Bells, but I don't know…"

"You don't have to come if it's going to make you uncomfortable. I'm just letting you know that you're always welcome."

There had never been an awkward silence between Jake and I. Sure, there were silences, but they were never awkward. Until now.

I stopped walking and sat down on a log. "Why can't everyone just get along?!" I shouted.

Jacob sat down next to me and rubbed my back. "Don't cry for the moon, Bells. Leave that to me." He smirked.

I raised my eyebrows. "Werewolves don't actually howl at the moon do they?"

He laughed. "Only sometimes."

I laughed with him. We sat like that for a while, catching up.

"I missed having you around," he admitted. "I really wish you wouldn't get yourself turned into a vampire."

"I know, but I need to do this. I want to do this."

We decided it was around lunch time when Jacob's stomach started to growl. Half way there, he grabbed my hand and kissed me. Right on the lips. I pushed away and he let me.

"Jake!" I shouted. "Friends, remember?"

"I know, but I needed to kiss you again, one last time before the wedding." He looked ashamed.

"No! You always do this! We make things right and you screw them up again."

I stomped off.

"Bells, you can't just leave!"

"Watch me!" I shouted back.

He was so infuriating! How could he do that?

It felt like I had been walking forever. I must have been walking in circles. I glanced around, trying to find my bearings. It was really quiet, like everything had run off or disappeared. I kept moving, faster than before, trying to find something that was familiar. Besides me crashing through the long grass, there was still no noise what-so-ever. A pair of cold arms wrapped themselves around me and I screamed.

A/N - Sorry the chapters are so different in size. I want them to end where they end... anyways.

For anyone who doesn't know, cry for the moon is an expression that means to want something that is not possible. I thought it was pretty appropriate.

Let me know what you think and I'll get a new chapter up ASAP!
