.. I finally finished the fourth chapter! I hope you like it. .. remember to write that review. I'd appreciate any constructive critisism q:

I'm going to dedicate this chapter to my best friend, who is the reason why I started reading twilight. She's called

UnpredictableDisaster here on fan fiction, and she is an amazing writer, so check out her profile (:

"Alice! .. Leave!" Edward yelled, almost growled at her. I couldn't believe that he would growl at her. His.. Sister. He looked like he wanted to break her neck. And she looked like she wanted to smash his nose into his brains. I, on other hand, just stood as a bystander, not knowing what to do, but stare. This was between them. That much I knew.

"Edward.. You don't understand. The things I've seen.. This is wrong!" she quickly shot a glance at me, and then looked at her brother again.

Edward twitched at my side, but didn't move away. "Uhm.. Maybe I should.." I started but Edward cut me off. "She's the one who should leave. Now," he glared at her. I had never seen him more evil looking.

"Listen to me Edward, please!" her expression quickly changed, as she begged.
"I don't care what you think Alice," he shook his head as he spoke.

"But.. He's a dog,"

"Hey! You're one to talk, little leech!" I stepped forward, but Edwards hand held me back. He shook his head, as if to say that I shouldn't do anything stupid.

"You can't do this to Bella. She loves you. I know you love her too.. Think about what people will think! And.. That's not the worse. I've seen something else. But I wont tell you, in front of.. That," she glared at me quickly once again, as if her eyes would melt if she looked at me for too long.

Edward sighed heavily. "Alice.. Why can't you just support me!?"

She didn't answer.

"And why should I even care what people think? As if they don't already consider us all as freaks,"

"Listen.. You have to know what I saw.."

"Then tell me,"

She shook her head as she glanced at me again. That was starting to seriously irritate me!

"Okay, you obviously have something to work out.. I'll just. Leave," I said and pulled away Edwards hand as he tried to stop me again. I looked at him for a moment, tried to smile.. It probably looked like a painful expression anyway. He mouthed the words don't leave, but I turned away and ran off into the woods.

I knew it. This had been too good to be true. Now that I was gone, of course Alice would convince Edward that she was right, and he shouldn't be with me. He wouldn't choose me over his family. Man how I hated those bloodsuckers!!! .. At least the ones not called Edward. And.. What would happen when I wasn't able to be around the person I had imprinted on? The person I already longed to be close to..

When I got back, the house was still empty, and I sighed with relief. I didn't want to deal with dad right now. In fact I didn't want to deal with anything. I had thought that the fact that Edward wanted me too, would have made everything alright, and that I didn't have to worry about anything anymore. But then Alice showed up.. And ruined everything.

Plus, I had to tell Billy sometime.. And the rest of the clan. I bet they had nothing against gay people, but vampires.. That was something else.. Well, at least I could count on Seth to support me.

"Jake?"

I looked up, standing in the kitchen with a sandwich in my hands. It was Billy.

"Hi dad," I said, quickly swallowing a bite. It burned in my throat.

He wheeled toward me with a concerned look on his face. Oh man…

"Sam told me you imprinted on someone?" he said. I nodded and walked to the dining table. He followed me in his wheelchair.

"Who is it then?" I could tell by his expression that he knew it wasn't someone like, Bella. He knew it was someone out of the ordinary. I didn't know if I should tell him yet.

"Uhm.. Well, it's someone out of the reservation," I answered, sounding casual, taking another bite.

"But you wont tell me?"

I looked at the clock. "Wow, look at the time. I have to find Sam and the rest of the pack," I got up, left my half eaten sandwich on the table, and walked to the front door. "I'll be home for dinner," then I walked outside, closing the door behind me, and didn't hear what Billy yelled.

Damn. I handled that poorly.

I just couldn't tell him just yet. I wanted the pack to know first, so I ran into the woods and phased. It didn't take long for the others to find me.

---

"Jake! Where've you been all day?!" it was Embry.

"Who did you imprint on? Sam told us." Leah asked.

"Leah! Let him breathe for a second, geez.." Seth said.

"…Is she hot?" Quil asked excitedly.

"Wait.. Why are you thinking of the blooducker?"

"Edward!?"

"You imprinted on the leech?"

"…Are you queer!?!"

"That's just messed up…"

"Is that even legal? .. I mean, a werewolf and a vampire?"

"I can't believe you sucked faces with a … ugh"

"This is definitely a dear diary moment, huh Leah?!"

"Guys! Stop it. Let Jacob talk," Sam finally stopped their talking.

"It wasn't like I expected you to react any other way.. And I can't be with him anyway." no one said anything. I didn't know if it was just pity silence, or silence of relief that I could see that myself, so that they didn't have to tell me.

"But.. He wanted you too, didn't he?" Seth asked. And I had even tried not to think about it.

"Man, this is just too weird!!" Quil said. I ignored him.

"It's not that. Alice showed up," as if they didn't know already. I really couldn't hide anything right now. ".. And she saw something. I don't know what…It sounded serious. But I just know that her and her family will do anything in their power to keep us apart,"

"You don't know that," Again it was Seth who answered. The others seemed too stunned to say anything.

"Well, maybe it would be for the best anyway. I don't want a feud because of this.." I didn't mean that at all. Well.. At least not the first part..

"But you imprinted on him. It's not something you can control. We should, and we will support you," Sam said. The others didn't exactly seem like they wanted to support me.

"But Sam! He imprinted on a vampire! If that isn't a serious violation of the treaty, then I don't know what it is," Embry said, and Leah and Quil sounded like they agreed.

"Screw the treaty." Seth said. The others sounded horrified.

"The point is that you imprinted. We should be happy for you, no matter what kind of mythical creature it is, or what gender. There's never been any law that said who we could and could not imprint on. That's final. If you can't support our friend, then I suggest you leave the pack," Sam said. Mainly to Leah, Embry and Quil.

I really hadn't expected Sam to react like this.. It felt good though.

None of them said anything.

"Good. I take your silence as a consent." Then Leah, Embry and Quil left, as if Sam had given them an order I couldn't hear. Seth stayed.

"Thanks Sam," I said. I was truly grateful.

"Don't worry about it." Then he turned away and left too. Now it was only me and Seth.

"Hey Jake, I just want you to know, that I support you no matter what," he said.

"I know Seth, I'm glad you do." I phased back. I didn't really feel a need to be a werewolf at the moment.

Seth phased too.

"So.. What now?" he asked. I shrugged.

"I just have to wait and see. As painful as the wait might be.." I didn't even want to think about just how painful the time apart from Edward would be.

Seth nodded understandingly, and smiled encouraging.

Then he left too, and I was standing alone in the woods, surrounded by the trees, with nothing but my thoughts and the memory of Edward standing close to me. I tried not to think about the fact, that soon, it might be nothing but that. A memory.
