IMPORTANT!

It's been a long time since the last update and I'm so sorry. But here's what happened: My computer broke down and I had to wait for technicians to fix it. And so many weeks passed by for them to tell me that they can't fix my computer but can save the hard disk. So I had to wait more days for the new computer and for the hard disk to arrive. I apologize! I'm so sorry!

Anyway, I would like if those who are still interested in this story or new readers to ask me questions about this story, so you can help me catch up with what happened in past chapters. I can remember most of it but if there are parts that interest you, you can freely ask me and I will answer to you.

Thank you! :D


Chapter VI

Dear diary,

Today is the day Sean is coming home. Anna invited everyone she could possible invite. She invited Jacob and other wolf boys +girl (Leah). They were old friends of Sean; they used to hang together a lot. She also invited Edward, but Edward found good enough reason why he can't come. He actually doesn't want to come because of the pack of wolves' in our house.

And my dreams, well…I know I dream of Adeline every time. But when I open my eyes it seems like everything disappeared, every memory of that I dreamed about just erases itself. It's strange really, a bit too much.

-Mia

Mia closes the diary and places it into the drawer under her desk. She got up from her chair and went into her closet to see what she will wear for the small welcoming party. She decided to just wear something causal. She took black skinny jeans and dark red ¾ sleeves shirt. Mia placed the clothes on the bed and because of sudden quietness in her room she found herself thinking hard to remember what she was dreaming about.

If she could only remember, she would be able to know who was the girl Adeline and what did she want from her. But all she remembers is a forest with naked trees and mist covering the air. There was nothing else that she could remember, at all.

Mia suddenly gasped as she heard a sound behind her. She turned around only to see Edward standing there, examining her face. Mia let out of breathe of relief and placed her hand onto her chest to stop her fast heartbeat.

"I didn't expect you to come." Mia said.

"Something bothering you?" Edward asked and Mia shook her head.

"No." Mia lied, adding a small smile on her face. "I was just thinking about the party."

Edward could see she was hiding something, but she probably didn't want to tell him yet. He walked closely to her while she walked away from him and close the closet. It that one move of her hand, he noticing small scratches on the palm of her right hand. When Mia turned around, he grabbed her hand and turned it around to have a clear view of her palm.

"What happened?" Edward asked.

"I, um…The glass broke and the small pieces seemed to cut into my skin." Mia said and then smiled. "Nothing serious." Edward stared at her for a while before letting go of her hand.

"Mia! I need help with decorations!" Anna called from downstairs.

"Right away!" Mia shouted back and then pecked Edward's lips. "I'll see you tomorrow." Mia said and then ran out of the room, closing the door behind.

Edward stood there for a moment, millions of thoughts running through his head. He was worried so much for Mia and was afraid what Adeline is able to do with her mind is. So far she was acting normal and like herself. There were probably some things she wanted to keep for herself, but Edward wanted to protect her from things that can hurt her physically and mentally.

Nine hours passed since Mia and Edward had a short conversation in Mia's room. Now, all the guests came into their house and they waited for Sean to show up. Noah was the one who went to Port Angeles to the airport to pick him up and send them a message a few moments ago that they just entered Forks. Mia and Anna made sure everyone is in their places and that all the lights in the house were turned off.

Mia looked around towards all the guests in the living room. Jacob, Sam, Paul, Jared, Embry, Quil, Leah, Seth, Billy Black and Sue Clearwater. Anna was even more excited that she needed Sue calming her down from all the excitement. Mia smiled, happy to see her aunt so excited. Mia looked outside of the window and saw police car parking in front of the house.

"They are here." Mia shouted in a whisper, making everyone's voice die out.

Mia ran to them into the living room where the rest were and waited for Sean to open the door. They were able to hear conversation and laughing between father and son as they were walking up the stairs of the front porch.

"Why is it so dark?" Sean asked confusingly before he opened the door and turned on the lights.

"SURPRISE!"

Sean eyes wide at the sudden outbreak and stared at the group of people, not able to recognize anyone of them at first because he was trying to recover from the shock of surprise. But then soon, he started to recognize all of them. From his childhood friends to his mother. He smiled widely before letting out a laugh.

"Wow…" Sean was able to mutter.

"Sean, my baby!" Anna suddenly run towards him wrapped her arms around her son's neck. "I missed you so much." Anna said and then kissed his cheek multiple times.

"Okay, mom, I missed you too but you're embarrassing me." Sean whispered the last part so only she could her and then pulled away and stepped to Noah.

"Nice to see you, cowboy." Billy Black spoke as he made to him in his wheelchair.

"Nice to see you, Billy." Sean greeted handshaking with him.

Sean went to greet the rest of guests that were there and Mia watched him in background. She wanted to be the last one he will greet so he can have enough time to greet his old friends he hasn't seen in three years. My eyes stopped at Leah and she seemed a bit different. Not the looks, but the way she was looking at Sean. As they greeted each out, she smiled widely and other pack members seemed to exchange looks while Mia only stared at them in confusion.

"Nice to see you, Leah." Sean said to Leah as she pulled away from hug. "You've grown."

"You did too." Leah said back and Sean widely smiled to her, staring into her eyes for a moment, before he managed to look away.

"Now, where is my lil' cousin?" Sean asked, looking around the room until his eyes stopped at Mia standing by the door frame of the living room. "There you are, Lottie." Sean said, using her nickname of her middle name.

"I almost thought you forgot about me." Mia joked and Sean looked at her with offensive look.

"Me? Forget about you?" Sean questioned, pointing from himself towards her. "Noooooo." Sean extended his answer before he cracked a smile and went to her.

He tightly hugged her and she hugged him back. Mia smiled but started to feel a bit awkward when she noticed everyone's eyes on them hugging each other. Mia kept her awkwardness cool and soon pulled from each other with a wide smile on their faces.

"It's cake time!" Anna shouted. "Sean I made your favorite chocolate cake."

"Thanks mom." Sean thanked.

Anna gestured for Mia to follow, also Leah and Sue went with her into the kitchen. Anna sliced the chocolate and placed one slice on each plate. Lean and Sue were taking two plates into the living room and Mia waited for Anna to put one slice on each plate.

"I thought you'll make Sean cut the cake." Mia said.

"He would be embarrassed." Anna laughed slightly. "He never really did like slicing cakes. He always made me do it." Anna said.

Mia took the two plates with cake slices on them into the living room and gave them to Jacob and Paul. Jacob gave her a light smile with 'thank you' leaving his lips and Paul gave her a wink, causing Mia to just playfully roll her way before leaving to kitchen again. She helped Anna bring cake to the ones who didn't get it yet and then together with them ate the cake.

Later on, when everyone was full, Sean was with the pack of wolves while Anna, Sue, Noah and Billy were in the kitchen talking to each other. Mia stood aside, leaning against the drawer while looking at them hanging around the coffee table and playing cards. Jacob looked towards her and then got up from the couch and walked towards her.

Mia took a sip of her orange juice and glanced at Jacob as she walked towards her. He leaned next to her on the drawer with his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He was quiet and enjoying the silence between them, but Mia broke the silence.

"You and your boys finally own a shirt." Mia joked and Jacob let out a small laugh.

"Yeah, I guess we do." Jacob said. "Do you prefer us shirtless?" Jacob asked, with small flirt in his voice.

"A bit." Mia answered and added a small laugh at the end. "Alice is planning a big graduation party." Mia started. "Which you're invited to." Mia said and Jacob gave her a look. "Right." Mia clicked with her tongue.

"Mia…"Jacob stared and Mia looked at him. "Can you answer me something?" Jacob looked at her. "Honestly." Mia carefully, but unsurely nods. "Why do you want to be changed?" Jacob asked and Mia almost immediately looked away towards the glass she held in her hand. "Is it because of him? Because you don't want to grow old? Are you afraid of old age? Why?" Mia briefly smiled.

"Honestly…"Mia took a deep breath. "Because I want eternity with him." Jacob scoffed with expression of hurt. "But also because I'm afraid." Mia added and Jacob looked at her. "I'm afraid of something I don't want to say. Neither does he know that. I'm letting him believe that I want to be changed so then I can be with him forever, which is true. But so much happened since I told him I want him to change me and I started to be afraid of what might I become in following years."

"Are you going to tell me what are you afraid of?" Jacob wondered and Mia shook her head.

"No." Mia said. "I just needed to get that of my chest." Mia answered and smiled to Jacob. "You are my best friend, after all." Mia noticed a look of hurt crossing his eyes but he forced a smile.

Silence appeared between them again and they both stared at Sean and other playing cards and telling jokes. Mia smiled as she watched her cousin hanging with his old friends like those three years of separation never happened. Mia frown as she noticed the way Leah was looking at him and the way Sean would glance at her from time to time.

"Why is Leah looking at him like that?" Mia wondered, asking Jacob in small whisper.

"You really want to know?" Jacob asked and Mia nod, taking a sip of her orange juice. "She imprinted on him." Mia suddenly started to choke on her orange juice, making all heads turn towards him while Jacob was patting her back with a laugh escaping his mouth.

"Lottie, you okay?" Sean asked and Mia rapidity nods.

"Never better." Mia said, giving thumbs up, coughing a few more times while one by one slowly returned back to their game. "Are you serious?" Mia asked Jacob in a whisper and took a sip of orange juice to make uncomfortable feeling in her throat disappear.

"Yep." Jacob nod.

"Whoa." Mia commented silently.

"I wish I could imprint on someone like that." Jacob blurts silently and Mia looked at him. "Even if I tell you want I feel for you, you still won't change your mind." Jacob said and Mia sighs, looking away for a moment before returning her eye sight back on him.

"Yeah, I won't change my mind." Mia said and placed a glass of orange juice on the drawer. "I'm going outside to catch some air."

Mia turned around and left the house while Jacob watched her leave. He was angry at himself. He could have at least said it to her, even though said she wants to be changed because she's afraid of something that neither Edward knows. Jacob sighs before he joins his friends.

Mia sat down on the stairs of the porch outside and started into the distance of the dark forest. She felt like so much was happening in her head and in her heart. The dreams about woman Adeline. Jacob's feelings for her, and she doesn't want to hurt him in any kind of way. And intruder that probably wants her dead. Mia sighs loudly and places her head onto her knees.

"Something bothering you, Lottie?" Mia turned her head to see Sean walked towards her and sitting down next to her on the stairs.

"No." Mia answered. "You?" Sean shook his head.

"Nope." Sean answered. "I'm happy I finally got home."

"Anna really missed you." Mia said.

"Yeah!" Sean exclaimed. "If I let her she would keep on hugging me." Sean said, letting a small laugh. "Ever since you left the house, they boys kept on commenting you."

"Nothing bad, I hope." Mia said.

"No." Sean shook his head. "They told me you are quite badass. You once provoked Paul and later flirted with him after he apologized."

"I didn't flirt."

"Paul said you did." Sean said. "Besides, Jacob seems to have a thing for you."

"And Leah seems to have a thing for you." Mia said, getting to another subject as soon as possible. I don't feel like talking about Jacob…

"Yeah…She became very beautiful." Mia raised her eyebrows and Sean glanced at her. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mia smiled and looked away.

"No reason."

"Oh." Sean exclaimed. "And you've got a boyfriend. Edward Cullen." Mia nod. "Boys don't seem to like him much."

"Maybe they want to be my boyfriends." Mia joked.

"I wouldn't be surprised." Sean joked, laughing with her.
