A/N: Guess what? I don't care if you say the same thing every time you review! Just review!! Thank you very much, , you are the only thing keeping me sane.

OC's are just so much fun, so I just had to add one in here. And I think the whole Mike-obsessed-with-Bella thing is a little old by now, so........

Bella was here. Kind of ironic, if you think about it. We'd come here so I could forget about her, and then she just turns up. And it has to be the day we're here. And as if that's not bad enough, she came here with a guy.

The imprinted werewolf inside me raged. I saw red, and I really wanted to go and rip that guys' head off. But as much as I wanted to do that, I wanted to not be in jail more.

Seth had obviously noticed this too. "Hey, Jake, look, she's with some other people too." Yeah, I had noticed. But she wasn't giggling and hanging off any of the others arms, was she?

I guess I couldn't really blame her, I was the one who had told her repeatedly to stay away from me. It had broke my heart, and hers, I knew, but she was better off hurt than dead.

None of that knowledge made me feel any better about her and that guy, though......

Bella POV

I didn't know why I was here. Jessica and Angela had begged me, and I guess the fact that Nate had practically begged me hadn't hurt......

So we walked into Pandemonium, me on Nate's arm. He'd offered it to me right as we were walking in, joking about making sure I didn't get lost.

Of course, as soon as we walked in, Jessica immediately said, "Oh, look, hot guy at three o'clock." I had no idea where three o'clock was, but I was glad. The last thing I needed was to be worrying about another guy.

Edward was still gone, although I could finally say his name in my head without wanting to cry. Jacob was completely ignoring me now, and I had no idea why. And now Nate was back.

I'd known Nate since I was five years old, we'd practically grown up together. Back when I came to Charlie's every Summer, Nate and his family had been our neighbors. He was always the one I would go to when I was upset, or bored, and just needed help with something. He'd always been my best friend. And then one Summer when I came, he was gone.

That was probably the worst Summer of my life, trying to adjust to being bored out of my mind and not having Nate to talk to. Honestly, that was why I'd stopped going to Charlie's. I'd always missed Nate, but I tried to block it out after that Summer.

And then he'd come back. Earlier this week, I was looking out my window and I saw the movers trucks. I'd walked outside, and there he was. He had turned eighteen a few months ago, and he said he'd missed Forks, so he bought the same house he'd lived in with as a kid.

When he said he's missed Forks, my only reaction was to stare at him and sarcastically say, "Yeah, and I'm pregnant with the cable guy's kid."

"Hey, do you want to get something to drink?" I was brought back to the present as I heard Nate's voice. I looked up into his eyes; They were a beautiful green color with flecks of brown. I always used to tease him about being the golden boy, because he was tan and had light brown hair that looked gold any time he was in the sun.

I nodded. It was kind of funny how we'd all made a pact in the car not to drink anything alcoholic. Angela was the one who'd brought it up, saying how she refused to drag any unconscious drunk person back to the van. I'm pretty sure she was looking specifically at Jessica when she said that.

As we walked over to the bar, I spotted someone I never thought I would see here. Jared. He was at the bar, shouting at someone on his phone. Not angry shouting, I don't think, but just shouting so he could be heard. When I saw him, my throat dropped down to my stomach. Because when one of the 'pack' was in a place....

"Hey, Bella."

.....The others aren't far behind.

Nate and I both turned to the side to Seth and Jacob.

I decided to play it cool, act like I wasn't totally and utterly freaked out about the fact that they were here. I wasn't going to let Jake know how much he'd hurt me.

"Hey Seth." I smiled warmly at him. "Jake." I nodded in his general direction, refusing to look him in the eye.

"Well, what a coincidence that we're all here tonight." I smiled at Seth's attempt to break the awkward silence. "So who's your friend, Bella?"

"This is Nate. I've known him since he stole my robin egg blue crayon one Summer when we were five. Nate, this is Seth Clearwater and Jacob Black." I introduced.

He smiled at them and then looked at me, his smile turning into a full blown grin. "If I remember correctly, it was you who stole my crayon, and it was mellow yellow.

I smiled back and said, "Pshhh. Who cares about the details?" I looked back at Seth and Jake. "Well, anyways, this weirdo-mellow-yellow-crayon-having guy and I are going to go get something to drink. Maybe we'll see you guys later."

As we started walking away, Nate asked playfully, "Oh, so it's weird to have a mellow yellow crayon now?"

"Yes, it is. You either have a green crayon or a yellow crayon. It's that simple." He smiled at me again, and I couldn't help but swoon a little. Even I have to admit that Nate is a good looking guy. He's not the perfect Michelangelo like Edward was, but Nate has a nice body. And he's quite tall too, but not so tall that I end up with a crick in my neck just from trying to look him in the eye. I would practically be considered a lesbian if I hadn't noticed how good looking he was. And the fact that I'd known him since I was five didn't hurt much either.

But even with all of that, I could never bring myself to do anything about what I felt for him. And besides, I'd already been broken beyond repair. There had been a time when I'd thought I'd been healing , but......Jake had sealed the deal on that one. When he told me I needed to stay away.....He'd looked so cold. And after that I'd almost felt exactly like I had when Edward had first left.

Then again, I felt okay with Nate, like no one had ever broken me. He reminded me of a time before Edward and the rest of the Cullen's, reminded me that I was actually happy before Edward. Was it so wrong that I be happy again? I knew Nate felt something for me, he'd told me more than once. Would it be so wrong if I just....leaned over and brushed my lips against his?

Jacob POV

As I watched Bella and Nate walk away, I heard them bantering about the mellow yellow crayon. I turned to Seth.

"I need a drink."
