*Janis' Pov*

I walked into the Cullen's living room. A smile went to my face straight away.

"Hey everyone" I greeted, giving a small wave. Esme, Bella, Alice, Emment, Carlisle, and Jacob all smiled at me.

I sat in the floor with Jake and his imprint, Renesmee. I'd meet everyone before in passing yet I knew a lot about them because of the pack.

"Janis, why don't you call Emily" Aunt Leah suggested, stepping out of a corner. I jumped, I hadn't seen her.

I smiled at her. "No thanks, I'd rather stay here for right now" I answered and turned to Jake. Leah huffed angrily and stepped back into her corner.

Renesmee and I played PlayStation2 for alittle bit unil she creamed me for the fourth time in a roll. My nose flared angrily.

"Here" I said curtly, shoving the controller to Collin. Him and Jake played each other. Both of them were way better than me.

It was probably around midnight when Bella and Edward left with Nessie so she could sleep. Everyone floated out of living room to do their own things except for the wolves.

"Janis call your parents" Leah growled, stepping up to me. I stood up too. Collin stepped up beside me and looked down at her.

"If I did, they'd just come and get me sooner. I want to stay with Collin for a little bit longer" I exclaimed, crossing my arms.

Leah frowned and tucked her short hair behind her ear. "Jan, I'm sure they're worried. Do you want the police to get involved?" she said, pleading now.

I frowned. What a cheater! "'Course not. Why don't you just tell them I'm fine" I suggested.

She smirked at me. "You are such a chicken" Aunt Leah teased, walking past me and sat on the couch. I pouted and followed her to the couch.

"Can you blame me? I've seen my dad mad, thank you very much and recently at that" I whined, sitting on my knees, facing her.

"I'll tell them. I'll leave now" Jacob said, heading for the glass door that leads to the backyard.

I smiled at her for my victory while she sulked. Collin sat on a different couch, watching me.

"How long are the two of you staying here?" Aunt Leah asked, eyeing me.

"Until I feel guilty enough to leave" I replied but I was looking at Collin with sad eyes. He didn't seem happy by my answer; he knew I'd go back soon then.

It was a little past one when Jacob returned. He walked in, shaking water from his hair.

"Sam was very close to phasing to find you. Emily just wants you home now and Sam's ready to hurt Collin" Jake said, plopping down next to Collin.

I gave a breathless laugh. It was just what I thought they'd say. Collin tensed though.

"I hate having Sam mad at me" he whispered, laying his head back on the couch. I frowned at him.

I reached for the phone and dialed my house's number. "Hello?" my dad's voice said. My heart lurched. He sounded horrible.

"Dad? Hey"

"Janis! Where are you?!" he asked. I could hear my mother in the background.

"Doesn't matter. I'm coming home now" I felt guilty, really guilty.

Dad sighed in relief. "Hurry home" then he hung up. I stood up from the couch.

"Come on Collin" I mumbled. He stood and headed out to the front door without a word.

I waved goodbye to Jake and Leah and followed him outside. It was drizzling and mud got on my bare feet.

Collin was sitting in the drive's seat of his car. I got in and he turned the car around then headed down the drive.

I readjusted Collin's shirt that I was wearing for something to do. We didn't talk during the car ride. Finally, we were at my house. I climbed out and hurried inside.

Both my parents were sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee. Mom leapt out of her seat and hugged me tight.

Over mom's shoulder, I seen dad stand and walk slowly towards us. He wrapped his arms around both of us and buried his face in my hair.

They both stepped back from me when they heard Collin close the front door. I glanced behind me. He had a blank look on his face but his eyes were sad yet wary.

"Collin, we were wrong to try to keep Janis away from you" my mom whispered. I looked at her and smiled until my cheeks hurt. Dad looked like he wanted to disagree with her but didn't say anything.

"R-really?" Collin stammered, clearly unprepared for them to apologize to him.

"Yes, we'd rather have you her then Janis moping around all the time" mom replied.

"I didn't mope!" I hissed, crossing my arms.

*One Month Later*

I hurried and unlocked my car. I almost banged my head in my hurry to get in. I peeled out of the library's parking lot and speed home.

The vampire was still loose and it had killed two people already. The pack had gotten so close to catching it last week that Embry had been 12 yards away from it.

I shuddered at the thought of coming face to face with a hungry vampire. I glanced out of my window at the silver wolf running along with my car in the woods.

All the imprints were being followed by someone of the pack if they went out. I glanced back out the window. I couldn't see Paul anymore.

I pulled into the driveway and went inside. Mom, Aunt Leah, and Sue were in the living room having a deep conversation it looked like anyway. They went silent when they seen me.

"Hey" I greeted, plopping down beside Sue. They just looked at me. "What?" I asked, my hands going to my face. Aunt Leah grinned at me.

"Have you forgotten what today is?" mom asked.

"Monday?" I said, totally confused. They waited for it to click in my mind. "Oh. Oh! Right, I was supposed to go to Quil's house today, oops" I giggled.

They rolled their eyes at me while I headed back to my car. Quil's house was the place the imprints stayed on his day off.

It only took five minutes to drive to their house speeding. Kim, Claire, Rachel, and Quil were all sitting on the porch talking.

"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late, forgot it was today" I said, hopping up the steps. We stayed out on the porch until it started to get dark.

It wasn't until nine that someone called, letting us know we could go home. I was the first one out the door. Seth was leaned against my car waiting for me.

"Come on, Collin's waiting for you" he said, opening my door for me. I rolled my eyes at him.

Seth hopped in the passenger's seat and I sped off to Collin's house.

We didn't talk but he listened to my radio. My car whipped around a curve, speeding of course.

"Whoa, Janis take it easy! Collin isn't going anywhere" Seth exclaimed in a high voice, gripping the door handle.

I grinned at him, pulled into Collin's driveway without slowing and slammed on the brakes. Seth's forehead smacked against my dashboard.

"Geez Seth, put on your seatbelt next time or you might get hurt" I said in an innocent voice, smirking at him. He glared at me.

"You're lucky that I like you" Seth mumbled, getting out. He headed for the woods so he could start his patrol.

I laughed as I got out of my car. Collin was standing on his porch but he wasn't laughing, in fact he looked deadly.

"Hi" I said cautiously. He glared at me and just pointed inside his house. I sulked inside and sat on the couch.

Collin paced in front of me.

"What's up Collin?" I asked, folding my hands. He stopped dead.

"Why would you do something like that? The road is wet and you're speeding and not using your brakes at the right time. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" he hissed.

I blinked in surprise. I didn't realize he had seen me do that.

"I wasn't thinking, sorry" I mumbled, staring at the wall. Collin grumbled and sat beside me still in a mood.

"Hey Mr. Grumpy Gills" I said, quoting Finding Nemo while poking the side of his face. Collin's lips twitched as he fought a smile. He so couldn't win against that.

"Alright, fine. You totally cheat, using a Finding Nemo quote by the way" Collin replied, stretching out, grinning. He placed his feet in my lap and wiggled them in my face.

I giggled and pushed them off. We goofed off until it was late. I stumbled to the spare bedroom where my clothes were waiting for me. I stayed the night with Collin a lot now.

It didn't take long for me to get comfortable as I laid down. My eyes closed sleepily then I fell asleep.
