****The characters and the background story line all belong to the amazing author Stephanie Meyers however the original character/s and the main storyline for Broken Promises belongs to me****

Two weeks had gone by and things were changing.

Maya could feel it in the air.

Embry, Paul and Jarod were watching Jacob like a hawk.

Whenever Jacob, Quil or Maya met the eye of any of the Hall Monitors the stare turned to pity and sadness.

It unnerved all three teens.

The staring was only getting worse. They could not even eat lunch without one of them watching.

Quil leaned forward toward Jacob. "Their staring again."

Jacob rolled his eyes "Let them"

He turned and flipped the hall monitors off.

He didn't care how much they stared he would not be part of that group.

He still could not believe his dad defended Sam when Jacob brought up the subject about Sam giving Embry drugs to join his gang.

Maya frowned and began pushing her food around with her fork. "What's going to stop them from taking you if Sam want's you? Embry said he would never be part of them either and look where he is now"

Jacob slammed his hand down on the table "Don't mention that traitor's name to me. I will never be part of that group ever"

Maya's eyes widened as she slowly leaned back away from Jacob. His temper was getting worse every day and it was starting to scare her.

Quil wrapped his arm around Maya's shoulders.

Quil frowned "Jacob man. You need to chill. She didn't mean anything by it."

Jacob frowned before rubbing his eyes "I'm sorry Maya. I didn't mean to yell at you."

She smiled. "It's ok Jacob. I know."

Maya glanced down at her food before looking at the two boys "So any plans for this weekend?"

Jacob smiled "I'm going on a date with Bella tonight"

Maya and Quil glanced at each other before turning to Jacob.

"Like a date date with you two or a date like as friends?" Quil asked

Jacob blushed "well we're going to see this movie and these other paleface kids are supposed to be there but I'm picking up Bella in the truck"

Maya and Quil laughed "so it's a friends date."

Jacob rolled his eyes. "Come on guys. This is the night that I will convince Bella that I'm better than that creep, Cullen. A little support here"

Maya smiled "ok Jacob. We will support you on this date. Bella will fall madly in love with you and, once you both graduate school, you two can runway together disappearing in the sunset."

Maya placed her hand on Jacob's arm to give it a squeeze but instead jerking it off "Jacob you're burring up."

She stood up and put her hand on his head. "Are you feeling sick at all?"

Jacob frowned "No I feel fine"

Quil shrugged "Maybe it's the weather?"

Jacob stood up "maybe. I have to finish a paper for next class. I'll see you guys there."

Jacob dumped his trash and left toward the library.

Quil started eating his food but stopped when he saw Maya's face.

"What's wrong girl?"

She turned toward Quill "It started off with the hall monitors just looking at Embry, than he started to shake when he got angry and then his temper started to rise to extreme heat."

Quil shrugged "and?!"

A tear ran down her face "That's exactly what has been happening to Jacob. We're going to lose him Quil. I just know it"

Quil tensed before glancing at the Hall Monitors.

They were all looking at Maya.

He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her over to him "Jacob would never join them. Not in a million years. He hates Sam with a passion. He won't leave us."

Maya pulled away from Quil "What if they come after you when they get Jacob. Then What?!"

Quil frowned "I won't leave you Maya. No matter what Jacob does or what Embry did. We will always be friends. Ok?"

Maya slowly nodded "Ok"

She glanced over at Embry and the others. No matter what Quil said she had a feeling Sam was not about to stop pulling people into his gang.

She had a feeling it was only going to get worse.

Paul shook his head. "She's right on the money… Well half of the way. Jacob will be one of us soon but I doubt Quil will turn."

Jared shook his head. "Doesn't matter how right she is. In the end people will be hurt because of this."

Embry glanced between the two. "Do you think Sam will let me tell her if all three of us turn? She will be all alone without us. You know other kids picked on her because she's only half. She would keep our secret. I don't want to hurt her any more if the guys turn."

Paul frowned "No way man. Imprint, parent or wolf that's the only ways to know about the secret."

Embry frowned at his lunch.

Jared took a breath. "Look man. Ask Sam and the council. See what they say. If they are ok with it than we will be ok with it. All you can do is ask"

Paul rolled his eyes "and pray."

BRING BRING BRING

Jared stood up. "Come on guys. Let's get to class"

Paul and Jared grabbed their trays walking to dump the trash away.

Embry glanced back to Maya and Quil

"I'm so sorry guys. Please great spirits either turn them both, let me get permission to tell them or leave them alone."

Embry turned and walked to join his pack brothers.

He had a feeling things were only going to get worse.
