Cassandra Uley: Werewolves

Chapter 7

It Will Rain- Bruno Mars

Parkers death was blindside no matter how much I knew it was coming. Even when I prepared to lose him, it didn't matter. I cried for a couple days. Then things began to just settle back into our old routine. The Cullens sent out invitations to the wedding and invited us, the Clearwaters and the Blacks. Sam politely declined for him and Emily. Alice made me promise that I'd go to the wedding, so me and Seth are going together since he was the only other wolf that wants to go. Jacob left about two weeks ago. The weddings tonight and some worry set in this morning but I'm ignoring it.

Emily went to visit her sister and Claire today and Sam is out on patrol. So I have the house to myself to get dressed. Taking a shower and towel drying my hair I brushed my teeth before applying my make-up. Some mascara, with winged eyeliner made my eyes pop, a touch of blush and lip shine/ stain and I was ready to get dressed. Alice told me to get this cute light blush bandeau skater dress. It's strapless, with a sweetheart neckline, the bust is tight before it turns into a softly pleated skirt at about mid-stomach, it's very flowy and Alice just loved it on me. I also bought matching colored ankle strap, peep toe pumps. A knock on the door told me Seth, Sue, and Billy were here. We arrived at the Cullens and I looked around amazed by Alices skill. Seth let me take his arm and we walked around together. Alice soon appeared as everyone took their seats.

"Can I borrow your date?" She asked Seth.

"Of course." He said with a light blush making me chuckle. Alice pulled me upstairs to where Bella is waiting. She looks beautiful.

"Thank you for coming." She said.

"Of course. There's no hard feelings." I said. She gave a small smile.

"Of course, i'd never think you would have any." She said. "Have you heard from Jacob?"

"No... he just wants some space." I shrugged.

"Thanks...for taking care of him... for loving him." She said.

"Yeah. I'll beat him up for missing this." I said lightening the mood. She chuckled.

"I owe him a good punch to the jaw." She said. WE laughed. She suddenly hugged me. "Take care of him alright? He may be difficult but that's Jake. I know he loves you so much." Hesitantly I hugged her back.

"I will." I promised. She let go.

"I hope we can be as good friends as me and Jacob are." She said. I nodded as Charlie came in.

"Me too. Good luck." I said leaving. She nodded as Charlie came to kiss her.

The ceremony was beautiful and simple. After dinner and toasts the real party started. Everyone began dancing and enjoying the night. Seth danced with me a few times before Emmett and Jasper. Emmett and I got really close. I'd become close to all the Cullens now I guess. After cake with Seth, he decided, it's only fair no matter how bad he is we should have one slow dance. We danced before Edward asked me to dance. They shared an odd look before Seth went off. We danced in the quiet not really bothering to make conversation. He's a graceful dancer. After a minute or so he spoke.

"Thank you... for coming... and supporting Bella." He said.

"You're welcome. You guys did help us fight a vampire army that was after me and her. I consider us to be friends... I hope." I said.

"Good. She is so worried about the both of you." He said.

"She shouldn't be worried. We're fine." I waved it off. He gave a small smile.

"I see from Alice you two will be happy." He said.

"Really?" I winced remembering what she told me. A light blush crept to my face. He chuckled.

"Don't worry." He said. "Jacob's here."

"Really?" I said my heart leaping in my chest.

"Yes... it's a gracious gift." He said. I nodded.

"Jake loves Bella. He wouldn't not show up for her." I said.

"Well I'm thankful for it. Bella is happy." He said. I smiled. We danced quietly for the rest of the song. A little into the second song Edward went rigid and looked towards some trees.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Jacob... Sam's here. He's loosing it." Edward said. We quickly and swiftly left the party. Arriving Edward still held my hand as Jacob had Bella by the arms shaking her.

"Let go, Jacob before you hurt her." Seth said trying to diffuse the situation.

"Now!" Edward said.

"Jacob." I said and he looked up at me. "You're hurting her. Let go."

"Cass." He said letting Bella go. "What are you doing here?"

"Come on Jake." Seth began pulling him.

"Get your hands off of her you leech!" Jacob growled. "I'll kill you."

"Jacob!" I said. He's shaking so hard I'm afraid he may phase. Going towards him, Edwards hand held onto mine. "I'll be fine." I assured him and he let my hand slip from his. Sam emerged and began helping move Jacob back. Going with them, they got Jake away and far into the woods. he was so angry he hit a tree and knocked it over. Jumping at the loud sound my hand quickly grabbed Seths arm.

"C'mon it's getting cold and if I ruin these close my moms going to kill me." He said. Nodding I let him lead the way back to the house.

Thanking him he left and I went inside. Emily still isn't home and Sam wont be home for a while so I go to my room and take off my pumps before sitting in my window seat. Sitting for a while I watched the stars. I'd have to apologize for Jacob later. If there will be a later. Jacobs home and no matter what I can't deny i'm happy with his presence. Slipping out of the dress I hung it up and put on my slouchy over-sized pull over sweater and some gray sweat shorts. Laying in my bed my eyes closed and sleep is coming.

"Cass." Someone called quietly. "Cass." I groaned in response half a sound. They gave a husky chuckle. Opening my eyes Jacob is at my window.

"Jake? What are you doing?" I said sitting up.

"Sh... Sam's here." He said quietly. "Let me in, yeah?"

"What are you doing?" I whispered opening the window.

"I need to see you." He whispered back. He leaned in close.

"Jacob Black. How could you do that?" I said moving away and he looked at me confused.

"Do what?" He asked.

"You know exactly what i'm talking about." I snapped.

"I'm sorry..." He said. I gave him a dirty look.

"You think sorry will make everything better?" I said.

"Calm down, will you?" He whispered again as Sams snores got louder.

"You cant keep doing this Jake." I said.

"I know." He said.

"No Jake, if you knew you wouldn't do these things. What were you thinking Jacob? She was going to choose him. It was always going to be him. You knew this. We're supposed to be together. As soon as you imprinted you knew it. I love you. I do but... I'm tired of being a rebound. The second choice. Why can't I be happy?" I said.

"I'm sorry. I don't know. I want more than anything for you to be happy. I am a idiot. I will do anything to make it up to you." He said taking my face in his hands.

"If you want to make me happy. You'll do what I asked you to before." I said looking down. He took a deep breath...

Jacobs POV

"Fine." I said trembling in the slightest.

"I'm not ready to be with you. I just want some space." She said quietly. It's hard to be okay with this but of course i'll always make her happy.

"Okay." I sighed letting go of her face.

"Thank you." She said turning her back to me. Taking this as my cue to leave I quickly jumped from her window.

Getting home, it's almost two in the morning. Angry I couldn't sleep so I sat on the couch watching some pointless TV shows. Billy woke up and didn't mention anything but welcomed me home and Rachel came home in the morning. She'd spent the night out with someone. She's happy to see me but thoroughly chewed me out for leaving dad. After breakfast I fell asleep.

"Jacob." Her voice floated until she appeared in front of me. A beautiful smile on her face. A smile pulled across my face.

"Cass." I said as he hand slipped from mine.

"Jake!" She called. Looking at her, she was going into the light. "Jake!" She called still smiling, holding out her hand. Seth and Leah stood behind her.

"Cass?" I said.

"Come on, Jake. I promise we'll be alright. Just come with me." She smiled. The light got to bright and they became shadows before I could reach them. Grabbing her hand, the darkness revealed Sam and the rest of the pack.

"Cassie." Sam said. Everyone watched. She looked at me in pain. Sams face darkened as he saw we wouldn't leave.

"We're a pack. Together." He barked in an alpha voice.

"Not anymore." She said. She looked away as did Leah, and Seth. They faded off into the light as I watched Sam fade into darkness.

I'm back! I missed it so much but school and volleyball really crowded up my schedule. I promise the waits wont be so long next time! Read and Review.

P.s. The next chapter may be in Jacob's POV!
