Disclaimer: I don't, sadly, own any of the Twilight stories; they belong to the writing genius Stephanie Meyer. Anyway on with chapter 4…

Jacob P.O.V.:

I stared at Sam for a long moment before speaking, "But she hasn't done anything Sam. It was…my choice."

"Jacob. My word goes. She is now the enemy."

"She was our 'sister', our team mate and you expect us all to turn our backs on her now? No!"

"Jacob, ignore your emotions. She doesn't belong to you. You brought this on yourself." Anger ruptured inside of me, he didn't understand. Didn't he remember what it had been like for him when he'd first seen Emily? We'd all supported him. It didn't seem fair that he…he had the power to take this happiness away from me.

"Sam. I've imprinted her."

"I don't care Jacob. You can't."

"You don't have the right to make that call. Don't you remember? Leah?"

"Don't say her name in my house."

"You can't keep walking around, pretending she doesn't exist. It wasn't your fault, but you can't ignore her. It hurts her more." I could see him shaking, his hands wound up at his sides.

"Sam?" Emily's tiny frame appeared, leaned against the hall. His stance relaxed and he regained composure before talking to her.

"Don't worry Em. Go back to bed."

"Samuel Uley, I can hear you two all the way in the bedroom. Knock it off."

"Emily. You don't…stay out of this matter."

"I could hear the whole conversation. You do not have the right to take her away from him because she's different. Put your stupid disagreements aside. It's not like Katie's changed. She's still…her. The Katie who's great with our kids. The Katie who was here at 3 am. When she had a final the very next day to care for me when you were gone. She is still Katie. The girl who loves spending time with all of you guys. She's constantly looked for acceptance from you. Why are you so apprehensive to allow her to succeed?"

Regular P.O.V.:

Katie rolled around on the floor restless form the pain that brought no ending. She hadn't been allowed the comfort of having any of the Cullen's around. She had known what happened in the hospital when Carlisle bit her. She wasn't upset, but she desperately wanted to see Jacob.

"Katie?"

"Hi Emmett."

Katie P.O.V.:

I flipped over too soon for my stomachs liking and wretched up whatever had been left in my tummy.

"Sorry Em. I'm still not used to having to move so slowly."

"Don't worry. I came up because…well…you have a visitor, actually visitors." When he said this to me he made positive to emphasize the's'.

"Ok." He stepped away and Sam filed in the room, followed closely by Embry, and James. "Sam." I nodded my head in recognition. I was annoyed at Embry. Typically I would be placed right after Sam. And if I could not be present a space would be left. This was not going to end well.

Jacob P.O.V.:

Edward and I were conversing outside of the Cullen mansion.

"Jacob…she wants to see you."

"Edward I can't." I desperately wanted to. My heart was breaking knowing the pain she was going through…and alone at that. "Edward. What do I do?"

"Hm?"

"It's her or the pack. I can't choose between them."

"You may not have a choice in the matter. Sam is talking with Katie now. She's been removed from her place as second in command. He's just told her that you will be in to confirm her position loss and that you'll being taking over for her."

"He…he…removed her?" Edward nodded to me and then quickly stiffened. Sam walked with his head held high back through the door,

"Jacob-"

"I hope you're happy." I sneered stepping inside and climbing the stairs to where I knew Katie was resting. I was at the end of the hallway and I already could hear her body wracking itself with sobs. I leaned my head against the door, which pushed itself ajar. My sensitive ears could pick up her intake of breath when she saw my form hunched over in the door jam.

"What do you want?" Her voice was…cold towards me.

"Katie?"

"I k now what you're going to say so don't bother. And you can tell Sam not to worry," She gave a small humorless laugh before continuing, "I won't be around any of you. So…don't worry about the treaty." Her voice cracked at the end of her phrase and I wanted nothing more than to pull her into my arms and kiss her better. But she wouldn't want that. Not from me.

"Katie," My lips had seemed to move of their own accord as those sacred words flowed out of my mouth to her. "I can't see you anymore. Not as friends…not as…anything."

Katie P.O.V.:

I wept uncontrollably as Jake told me the words I'd so longed to hear then cut them back down. I wanted to beg him to stay, but he obviously didn't want to be around me…as friends or…anything at all.

"Ok. Jake. I understand. Goodbye." He remained in my doorway for a moment, "Jake? Is there something else you needed from me? Something else you can take? I don't have anything left to give. I've tried to give you what I can but it just wasn't enough." Anger and hatred, but most importantly…sadness rose in my chest, "I'm sorry that I couldn't be Bella for you. And I hate that you never wanted anything from me. I hate that you loathe me like I'm some foul creature. But Jake…" my revere broke as I'd been speaking and I'd managed to calm down, "Don't leave me. Not again, I don't need you as anything but a friend. But…if you let me alone…..I won't survive."

"Your heart doesn't have to beat anymore. You're not living, it doesn't matter to me what you do with your…existence. Just…stay away from me."
