The next morning I woke up with Sasha in my arms, her face nuzzled against my neck. I smiled to myself and poked down her side, lightly trailing my fingers over her skin.

"Morning." She looked up at me, smiling.

"Morning."

By now Sash and I had ran out of food, and after a long talk we both agreed we should head back. We also knew once we got back things might not be the same no matter how much we want to be together. She knew she wouldn't be able to see me without me having to put on an act of hate towards her. And I knew I had to keep her off my mind.

We stood at the shoreline, the water lightly washing over our feet. I wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her close then placing a hand feather light on the back of her neck. Pulling her up lightly, she wrapped her arms around my neck and tangled her fingers in my hair. Crushing my lips to hers, we kissed each other like we would never see each other again. We both didn't want to stop and I had to be the one to unwrap her arms from my neck. Letting her go slowly, I kissed her once more before we walked into the water and started to swim back.

She made sure I got to La Push first in order to make sure non of the other pack members were around to harm her. It was our luck that I was the only one phased, and I ran her back to her home. But I couldn't stay I didn't phase back, not wanting to let there be a chance where I give in and just stay there with her. I knew I needed to take care of some things, and even eat. As much as I didn't want to, I ran to my home and got cleaned up. Avoiding the pack in all ways possible. But that didn't work; as I was walking out of my home I heard a familiar voice.

"Bro" It was Seth, I turned to look at him.

"Hey man" I smiled as he walked over to me.

"Where ya been, Lee and guys have been worried about you."

"Around." I nodded and knew it was going to be a fight, keeping Sasha a secret. "Listen I'll be back later, alright." I ruffled his hair and started to walk.

"Can I come?" I rolled my eyes to myself and turned back around to look at him.

"Nah, I wont be long." He nodded and I started back into the woods. This time I didn't phase, I had a feeling if I did Seth would be there to ask me more and maybe he would even pick at my thoughts trying to find out what I was hiding.

I took a side trail through the woods, making sure no one would catch me. Then I reached the familiar trail, smiling to myself, as my steps were longer and quicker. I stopped at the tree line and looked at the home, catching a glimpse of a familiar red in the window.

I grinned and stepped into her yard. Soon as I reached her door, it swung open and Sasha had pulled me inside. Locking her arms around my neck, she looked up at me grinning. I smiled and locked my arms around her waist, pressing her close to me.

"Miss me?" I chuckled.

"So much." She answered before nuzzling my neck. I picked her up and chuckled again as she wrapped her legs around me.

"Where to?"

"The living room"

She mumbled against my neck and pointed the way. I smiled and followed her direction being overwhelmed by everything. Her home was huge, about 3, 4 times the size of mine. I shook my head slightly and glanced around. I could tell what she meant about it being empty; all I could hear were my footsteps and heartbeat. I smirked to myself hearing a fridge. I knew she didn't eat so she must have put this in for me. I walked into the room and chuckled when I saw a giant beanbag, she looked up at me and smiled as if she knew what I was looking at.

"Jared, meet beanie"

She grinned and nodded for me to go in that direction I laughed when she said those words, like beanie was a real person. I sank down into beanie with Sasha on my lap. She kept her face nuzzled into my neck and her arms around me. We spent the entire day snuggled into beanie, and by the time it started to get dark I knew I needed to make an appearance with the pack.

It was hard to have to leave her again but I promised I would be back to stay the night. I kissed her lips quickly before I left, walking deep enough into the woods I shrugged out my shorts and phased. Keeping my mind busy by counting how many trees I saw, I shook my head and rolled my eyes; this was going to be harder then I thought.

"J?" I stopped in my tracks and looked around.

"Lee?"

"Hey, everyone's meeting at my place."

"Okay." She didn't say anything after that and I started to run so I could hurry and phase back, to get my mind to myself again.

Once I was close enough to Lee's place I phased back and grabbed the shorts, pulling them on before walking into the yard. Seeing the pack around a bonfire I couldn't help but smile, this was my family.

Though I knew they wouldn't exactly approve of Sasha, I wasn't about to let her go. Seth ran over as always with his grin, nodding his head once.

"What's up bro?" I looked at him for a minute, wondering as to why he wasn't asking where I had been.

"Not much, where's the grub?" I said quickly, my stomach growling for some food.

"Mom grilled some burgers, I saved you some." I grinned and ruffled his hair before walking over to sit next to Lee and Sam, the other guys acting like I hadn't been gone for who knows how long.

"Hey J" Lee said handing me a plate with some food on it.

Sam looked at me not saying a word, I took the burger in my hand and took a big bite out of it. Soon enough the rest of the pack went home or were on patrol.

Then it was just Lee, Sam and I. Seth went inside to help Sue clean up, I laid down next to the fire and smiled to myself remembering the fire on the island. There wasn't much talking going on until I got up saying I had to go, Lee stood up when I did. I started to walk but Lee followed.

"Where you going?" She asked knowing I would hear her, I paused and turned around to look at her.

"I'm just gunna go" I mumbled knowing I had to keep this secret. Lee just looked at me, my hand made it's way to the back of my head scratching it.

"Really?" She crossed her arms and looked at me, I glanced over her shoulder to see Sam walking inside.

"Yeah." I answered as honestly as I could.

"You're not telling me something J. I can tell, and I'm going to find out what." I simply shrugged.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I turned around. "Night Lee" Without having to turn around I already knew the expression Lee would have on her face, I knew she was pissed.
