Thank you to everyone who favorite-ed, reviewed and alert-ed!!!!!!
Sorry, that the story is going so fast. I just don't like to take five chapters to say one thing. (No offence, to writers who do that. It's just not my thing.)
Oh! Before I forget!

(~*~ Is a time lapse.)
Max's POV
"Uh, Can I help you?" I asked, I turned my head back to the room, everyone was staring at the guy in the door way.
"Can we talk?" he asked nervously. I gave a short nod and shut the door behind me. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you like that. It made me look like a jerk and well I'm not. It's just...It's just hard to explain without sending you running for the hills." he gave a nervous laugh.
Try me, I wanted to say but I settled for a simple "uh-huh."
"I want you to understand, and know." He was having a hard time choosing his words.
"It was really nice for you to come here Jacob ,but we are leaving town tomorrow."
"You can't!" his eyes went wide with shock. "If it is because of me, I'm really sorry. Let me make it up to you." His face made the Bambi eyes, so I looked at my shoes. I really needed new ones.
"It's not because of you. We just need to move on." I said still staring at my shoes.
His hand cupped my chin and pulled my face up to meet his eyes, "One more day. Please. I'll make it worth it. Promise." Oh, man....
"Okay" I heard myself answer him, and I was pulled into a very tight hug; I didn't want to leave his arms. He pulled away, gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked back down the hall. When I couldn't hear him anymore I gave my forehead a good smack with the palm of my hand. I turned around and walked back into the room, everyone looked at me.
"Max, that is so cool!" Angel screamed.
"What? Whats going on?" Nudge said, looking between Angel and I.
"Max is going on a date." Fang said. I looked over at him. He looked at me with sad smile.
"Really! Cool! Is it with that guy you kissed today?" Nudge asked, I nodded, "Wow, he seems nice and can I please, please do your hair for your date?"
"Yeah, I can to your make-up too!" Angel screamed. Before I could say no, Nudge and Angel started talking about which color went with which clothes, I couldn't stop them now. I looked over at Fang, he just got up and walked out of the room.
"Max, why is there a red mark on your forehead?" Gazzy asked.
Jacob's POV
When I got home everything smacked into perspective. Max was going out with me. Me. I can not believe she said yes! I mean I can't believe that a girl like her would go on a date with me! Oh, crap; where was I going to take her on this date that I said would be worth it? I could take her to the beach, but she has been to the beach; or a walk, nope not going to work. I started pacing, and thinking. I knew where I was going to take her.
~*~ Next Day.
Max's POV
"Enough!" I screeched. For the past two hours, Angel and Nudge have been pulling, yanking, and redoing my hair. I grabbed a simple hair bow and my hair and put it in a ponytail. "This is good enough for me." I said, they looked as though they wanted to fuss with me.
"That's okay. We still need to work on your clothes." Angel said, running over to where my clothes are in a pile on the floor. Ugh, here we go again.
~*~
After three hours of getting ready, I sat at the end of my bed wearing my least dirty/bloody pair of jeans and a surprisingly clean t-shirt. My hair was in a ponytail and I have very little make-up on because I washed most of it off, but what I did have on made me look girlie and nice... I guess.
"Max, you look so nice!" Nudge squealed. Angel agreed. "Next time we will have to change your hair and make-up"
I was about to lecture them about how this was never happening again but Jacob knocked on the door.
"Good luck Max!" Angel and Nudge said together.
Jacob's POV
I didn't tell her where we were going, I wanted it to be a surprise. We didn't talk while I drove, She looked a little nervous. I was scared that she wouldn't like where I was going to take her. I pulled up to the beach. It wasn't raining and the clouds weren't covering the sky like on a normal day, you could actually see the sun.
"It's a small hike." I told her, she just nodded.
"So, What's it like living in Forks?" she asked me, guessing to break the silence.
"Uh, Rainy and soggy." I answered, she gave a short laugh like she believed me. What could I say, 'Pretty cool, even though we have some fights with vampires. But that is really it.' She would have looked at me like I was some kid that liked to make up stories.
"Yeah, I can tell." She answered.
When we reached the cliff and the sun was shining off the water below.
"Wow" she said, she smiled. When she smiled the world was bright and the sun was a dim flashlight in the sky.
Max's POV
It was beautiful, and open. If it was a normal day with the flock I would have dove off the side and flew over the water, but it wasn't. I was on a date with a normal person. The water was a clear blue and the wind was blowing slightly.
"It's beautiful." I finished lamely.
"Yeah, I hoped you would like it." he said, the sun was slightly shining in his eyes to make them glow.
We sat and talked for awhile. I found out that he lived on a reservation, and he had a close friend named Bella. They had known each other for sometime, she had recently moved to Forks. I told him that the flock were adopted brothers and sisters except Angel and Gazzy. I told him how Fang was my right hand man, that I trusted him with everything. The sun was starting to set when he got serious.
"I didn't even notice the sun was setting" I told him looking back down at the water below. I would really have to bring the flock here some time.
"Yeah, Max I want to tell you something, and I don't know how you are going to take it. I don't want to scare you off. That is my biggest fear right now." He wasn't looking at me, even in the three hours that I just sit here and talked to him I felt like I have known him for as long as I have known the flock. I trusted him like he was a part of the flock.
I looked at him, "Spit it out, Jacob."
"It's just a big...uh... well it is and it isn't a secret. Some people know about it and some don't, but since you are apart of it you need to know." I gave him a look that would have cut ice. "Well here it goes." He whispered to himself, "I am a werewolf." He looked at me in the eyes when he said it.
Part of me believed him, the other part wanted to punch him in the face.
I looked at him, "You brought me out here to tell me that you are a werewolf?" I asked him. I was starting to get mad, the sensible side of me was being shut up by the really angry part of me and he could tell. "Is this some kind of joke to you?!" I asked him standing up. The first guy I go out with since... since... Fang, and he thinks he is a freaking werewolf. Somethings I believe like I don't know, genetic experiments, but werewolves are not one of them! "And what do you mean I am a part of it?!" He stood up with me.
"No, No, and because you are well my...imprint." he said the last part in a whisper. I huffed, threw my hands in the air and walked away. "Wait!" he said desperately, and grabbed my wrist.
"You better let go of my wrist before one of us gets hurt and it won't be me." I said to him, I was so angry that if I was a old cartoon then steam would be coming out of my ears. He let go of my wrists.
"I can prove it to you." he said, I could see in his eyes that the hope it once held was quickly leaving. "Just please stay here." he told me and he ran off to the woods. I wanted to leave. I could fly back, tell the flock that we were leaving when I got there and he would never have to know. Me,being the idiot that I am, stood there and waited. I heard a shifting in the woods and a rust colored, horse sized wolf came out. Adrenaline shot threw my veins, its been a long time since my last fight but I knew I still had it in me to beat something to a bloody pulp, but the wolf-horse thing didn't attack. I jogged up to me until it was ten feet, or a wolf-horse step, away from me and lay-ed down at my feet. I looked down at it. It had the eyes of Jacob, granted they were the size of my palms.
"If your Jacob, do something only Jacob would do." I told it. Just testing it. The wolf-horse thing smiled at me. Smiled a dorky smile! I couldn't believe it. "Okay, so your Jacob, you are a wolf-horse thing. Okay." He gave me a look that said 'I can't believe you just called me that.' I gave a short laugh. "Can you go...you know...change back into yourself?" I asked him. He nodded, and started walking away but turned and looked over his shoulder at me. "I will be here when you get back." I told him.
~*~
He told me everything. He was a werewolf. There was vampires. I was his imprint. The was more werewolves. He was a werewolves because there was vampires. Everything. And guess what I told him. Nothing. Why, you ask. Because I am a freak that needs to consult the other little freaks. And those little freaks would probably freak if I told him with out them. I felt kinda bad, but it is something I had to do to protect the flock.
He drove me home and walked me to the hotel door. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and a hug before he left. You could tell he didn't want to leave me, but when he did, I just stood in the hall way breathing. Fang is sure gonna want to know about this, the whole flock will. I told myself, I was really shocked that I took it so...easily. I mean a normal person would go into shock; then again I am not a normal person so that explains a lot. I walked into the hotel room to face the flock. Everything will be okay, I reminded myself, I was wrong.
Review! Please, I really love reviews.
