Jacob's Point of View

While we tried to argue what we should do to keep Amber safe from Aaron and Michael; Leah said "We should keep her on the reservation for a while, we can have some of the guys keep watch, and she can stay with me."

"Yes, because she has been so safe while she was with you." Katie snapped at Leah. Leah did not look very happy, but she didn't say anything.

Seth spoke up. "We will be keeping watch the entire time Katie, she won't get hurt." Katie didn't look very happy at all with this plan, she hated me.

"Maybe she should just stay here." Esme offered. Katie's face changed from a frown to a smile almost instantly. Rosalie, however, looked horrified.

"That would work out just fine." Katie said.

"NO! PLEASE ESME NO!!!" Rosalie yelled.

"Don't mind Rosalie, I will go make a bed for her." Esme said to Katie. Rosalie was furious, this was hilarious, I almost didn't mind her staying here. "Jacob your welcome to come any time you want while Amber is here." Esme said. Katie didn't look to pleased about this, but she didn't say a word.

"Thanks." I said. I didn't want to get Katie very mad, she already hated me there was no need to piss her off. We were all quiet for awhile. The door opened and Amber and Carlisle walked in. I walked up to her immediately and hugged her. I said "You feel okay?"

"Other than you crushing my lungs? Yes I feel better." She replied. I could feel Katie glaring at me, but I smiled and let her go.

"Good, we decided to-" I began to say but Katie interrupted me.

"We decided to keep you here for a while; we don't want you to get hurt." Katie said, she looked straight at me and then said "Again." I felt really guilty.

"Katie, cool it." Amber said. "Let's go back to the house so I can pack my things, okay?" Katie gave me another evil glare and followed Amber out the door.

"C'mon Jacob, Seth, let's go." Leah said. Seth followed his sister and we all walked out. We climbed into my car and drove back to the reservation. I dropped Seth and Leah off and drove back to my house.

Amber's Point of View

As soon as I arrived at the Cullens I knocked on the door. Esme answered. "Here, let me show you the guest bedroom." She said. We walked upstairs into a white room, the carpet was white and the bed spread was white, it was almost blinding. "If you need anything, let me know." Esme said.

"Thank you." I replied. She left and I changed into my pajamas and fell asleep. I was dreaming. Shit. I was on an island beach. I was in a dress, it had a white top then a thick green stripe, a thick blue stripe, the a thick navy stripe at the bottom of the dress, it was loose and fell to my knees, I was barefoot. "Oh Amber." I heard a voice come from my right. "Why are you doing this?" Aaron asked.

"I don't just give up." I replied. I was glaring at him, I hated him.

He laughed. "You have definitely proved that." He sat down next to me. I growled and lunged at him. He moved out of the way swiftly. "Tsk tsk, oh Amber. I love you so much, but you shouldn't try to attack me in a setting that I completely control."

"What did you just say?" I gritted through my teeth. I was so mad, I was going to kill him the moment I had the chance.

He walked closer to me and I stepped back every time he stepped forward. I was mad. He disappeared, I was still in the dream though, I whirled around and he was there. "Why do you try to fight me? I love you and you won't love me back. Why is that?" He asked.

"Because I know you." I replied.

He laughed. I wanted to strangle him. I glared at him. "Smart girl."

I shook my head. "The only reason you supposedly love me is because I am the only girl who has ever rejected your 'love'."

"What do you mean?"

"I have seen what you've done to girls, I pity those girls." I remembered Gabriela. That made me even more upset. "Do you even remember Gabriela?" I asked furious.

"A little yes."

"You're lying you sick bastard."

"Okay so what if I don't?"

"You slept with the poor girl!"

"How do you know?"

"She told me before you killed her!"

"Oh, no wonder I don't remember, she was Michael's subordinate."

"I know you did, she said she did, and frankly, I trust the dead girl more that you."

"That hurts."

"Good."

"You are so cold."

"Don't fall in love with a bitch, dumb shit."

He laughed. "Then why do you not care that that dog loves you?"

"Let me re-fraise that, don't fall in love with someone who hates your guts."

He shook his head. "One day you will realize that you love me, and you will regret the things you have said to me."

He did not just say that. "YOU FREAK! HOW DARE YOU!"

"Goodbye Amber, I will see you tomorrow night." The dream vanished. I woke up. It was about three a.m. but I knew the Cullens weren't asleep so I walked downstairs, I was hungry anyway. I walked down the stairs and Emmett knew something was up.

"Hey…" I said sleepily.

"What's wrong?" Emmett asked.

"I am being stalked by Aaron via dreams again…" I yawned.

"What did he say this time?" Emmett asked.

"I was trying to kill him so he's probably pissed." I closed my eyes and began to doze.

"Well that's smart." Emmett said and laughed. I gave him the finger and dug in the refrigerator for some food, he laughed. "God you are so weird." He said as I bit into an apple. I gave him the finger again; I was too tired to think of a sarcastic comment. I yawned. He shook his head.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"On patrol." He replied.

"I see." I said.

"So… what's up?"

"Eating?"

He laughed. "You smell." He wrinkled his nose.

"Thanks, I know it's sexy." I replied. I tossed my hair.

He laughed. "You pull it off quite nicely."

We both laughed. Emmett was a good friend, I liked him a lot. I punched his arm playfully. "You're so dumb."

"Yeah…." He said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "I have only gone through high school about ten times. I think I could go a couple times and maybe I would be classed with your level of intelligence."

I laughed. "Maybe, you would have to work really hard though." I replied taking a bite of my apple.

He shook his head. I threw away the rest of my apple. "You are one of the funniest people I have ever met."

I raised my eyebrow. "Really? How so?"

"You aren't afraid to speak your mind; you really have no filter between your brain and your mouth."

I laughed. It was so true. "Thanks I know." I smiled. Emmett and I were really great friends. I liked to be around him; he had a great sense of humor and didn't mind my insults and he insulted me back. I liked it. "I should probably go back to sleep." I said and I began to walk towards the bedroom, he grabbed my arm and I turned around. His lips crashed onto mine. Oh dear God, why me? I didn't know what to do, slap him, break the kiss, or wait for him to break the kiss. Then the Cullens walked in, with Rosalie, just my luck. I broke the kiss quickly. I really was in deep trouble. Emmett looked guilty and I was trying not to laugh at the expression on Rosalie's face, it was so priceless.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!" Rosalie screamed at me.

"Um… Rose…" Emmett began to say.

"WHAT HAPPENED???!!!" She yelled again. The whole family was in shock. I was still trying not to laugh. Her expression was just too funny. She looked at me. "YOU DIRTY WHORE!!" She yelled. Whoa, whoa. He kissed me, I didn't kiss him. I was very much in love with Jacob, not Emmett. I didn't want to say anything though, I didn't want anything I said to make Emmett look bad, but I didn't want to look bad either, I was stuck. I thought about what I should say but Emmett began to talk.

"Rose, look… I uh… I like Amber a lot… and um…"

Rosalie looked horrified, she realized he kissed me. "You don't love me anymore?" Rosalie went from horrified to crushed. Now I felt bad for her. I began to realize why she hated me so much; she knew that he was beginning to like me, which was bad news for her. That's when it hit me, Jacob. I hoped he wouldn't hear a word about this but that was highly unlikely if either Emmett or Rosalie left, he would want answers, and what was I supposed to tell him. 'Emmett kissed me and the whole Cullen family walked in on us.' Yeah I didn't think so; it would be like I ripped his heart out and stomped on it. Oh God, please help me. I was about to start crying when I realized the amount of damage I had just done to the family, I had single handily tore apart a seemingly perfect family. My luck sucked some serious ass.

"I should go." I said and I began to walk towards the stairs. No words of protest, I didn't expect them. It was just silent. I packed my things. I couldn't help it, the waterworks started to come. I bawled, my life was slowly falling apart. Katie hated me, I had just torn up the Cullen family and two crazy vampires were out to get me. I grabbed my bags and walked down the stairs. They could tell I had been crying. "I'll go to the reservation, if Katie comes tell her where I am, I don't think she will though, she hates me." I managed to choke out. I walked out the front door and began to walk towards the reservation. It probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, walk alone at night, but I had to leave. I couldn't stay there. I arrived at Jacob's house at about five a.m. I didn't go inside his house, I decided to wait out in his garage until he came out there which was normally in about two hours. I had to think this whole ordeal through. I should probably tell everything that happened in the past few hours, no matter how much it would hurt him, I thought about where I should stay and how Katie would react. She would be furious, of course, but once she heard the whole story I don't think she would be as mad. Then again, she might not listen to me. I sighed. Two hours passed quickly, at about seven thirty he walked in.

"What happened?" He asked concerned he walked over to where I was sitting. "And why didn't you get me?"

I couldn't help it, I started to cry. Jacob hugged me; I buried my face in his chest and cried. I was so stressed, I had to leave this stupid town, but I could never bring myself to do it. "Shh…Shh… Calm down Amber, just tell me what happened." He said in an attempt to calm me down.

I finally stopped after about ten minutes. "Emmett kissed me last night after Aaron visited my dreams, then while he kissed me the whole Cullen family walked in including Rosalie, she started screaming at me then Emmett told her that he really liked me, then I came here because I had just torn up the whole Cullen family, and Katie hates me." I said all in one breath and started crying harder. He squeezed me tighter.

"Amber, I love you." He looked down at me with his piercing black eyes and kissed me. I felt the electric current run through me again. I craved that feeling that I got from kissing him. My worries almost seemed to vanish and all that was real was him. "Stay here for as long as you need, you don't need to worry about any of this we will take care of it." He said. I nodded my head. He kissed my forehead and we got up. He grabbed my duffle bad and said "C'mon, you need to take a shower and get some sleep." We walked into his house. Paul was sitting on the couch.

"Jesus Amber, what happened to you?" He asked.

"These past five hours have been a living hell, I think I am about to pass out." I replied, and every word was the truth.

"We'll explain later, Amber the bathroom is on the right when you come up the stairs." Jacob said to Paul and I. I nodded and went up the stairs, a shower sounded so good right now. I turned on the hot water and just stood in it for about ten minutes before I even touched my shampoo. Once I took a shower I put on some sweats and went into Jacob's room. I was going to be living here for the next week or so. Maybe longer if I didn't hear from Katie. I laid on the bed for a minute and began to think about what to say to Katie. I had no clue, I called her anyway.

"Hello?" Katie picked up the phone.

"Katie, it's Amber." I replied. "We need to talk."

"About what? There is nothing to talk about Amber."

"I'm in La Push you know."

"Why are you there?! I told you to stay at the Cullens!"

"Yeah well Emmett decided to kiss me last night and they walked in, I had to leave."

"What?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Oh. Well, thanks for telling me, I got to go. Bye." She hung up before I said bye. I wondered if she was angry, I hoped she wasn't, she didn't sound angry. I sighed and laid back down on the bed. I let my eyes flutter shut and fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up at about noon. I climbed out of bed and went downstairs. "Hey." Jacob said.

I yawned. "Hey, what's up?" I replied.

"Nothing, just watching TV."

I sat down next to him. "Where did Paul go?" I asked, I had only been asleep for a few hours.

"He's keeping watch with Sam."

"Ooh, why was he here in the first place?" I asked, it didn't seem like Jacob and Paul were very good friends to be honest.

"He imprinted on my sister Rachel."

"Oh, that sucks for her."

He laughed. "She doesn't mind him, he just eats all of our food."

"Aw damn, you're kidding me right?"

"I wish I was." We laughed.

"So when's your shift to keep watch?" I asked.

"I don't, I just have to be with you at all times." He answered.

"Damn, your kidding right?" I said jokingly.

He laughed. "Unfortunately no."

I laughed this time. "You must hate me so much." I said.

"I do, I can't stand to be around you." We both laughed. My phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered it.

"Hey Amber! It's Rebekah!" She replied. Oh God, she was coming to Forks this summer to come and visit me, and psychotic vampires were on the loose. Just perfect.

"Hey! What's up?" I replied trying to act normal.

"Well, I am flying up to Seattle tomorrow and instead of hanging out with my parents, they said I could come spend the month in Forks! I know you said there isn't much to do, but I really want to see you!"

I had been skipping a lot recently so it didn't matter how much I went to school anyway, I would graduate, of course that really didn't matter if I did or didn't. "Yeah! Do you need me to pick you up from the airport tomorrow? You're going to have to stay in a hotel though; Katie has no more room in the house." It wasn't true, but she couldn't know that Katie and I were fighting and that I was living with my boyfriend.

"Yeah, that's cool; I will see you tomorrow then!" She said and hung up.

"Who was that?" Jacob asked.

"Rebekah, I need to go to the airport tomorrow to pick her up."

"Amber, you do know that this place is probably more dangerous than Los Angeles right now."

"Yeah, but what was I supposed to say, 'You can't come we are all being attacked by vampires.' yeah, that's sounds totally normal and sane."

"Good point. What do you want for lunch?"

"Pizza sounds so good right now."

"That does sound good, I'll be right back, I'd better go order some." He said and he got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. I watched TV for a few minutes before he walked back in. "It will be here in thirty minutes and I ordered an extra so Paul can eat."

I laughed. "Good, I would like to eat some myself."

He sat down next to me, put his arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek. I smiled; everything just always seemed to go away when I was in his arms. In about a half hour, the pizza arrived and so did Paul. "Mmm… that smells really good." I said and got up from the couch to grab a plate.

"Which one is mine?" Paul asked.

"You are going to eat an entire pizza? I thought Jacob was joking!" I said.

"Yup, I am." Paul replied.

Jacob just shook his head. "That's weird." I said, I shook my head too. After we ate lunch my phone rang again. "Hello?" I answered.

"Amber?" The voice answered.

"Yes, who is this?" I asked.

"It's Rosalie."

Aw crap, why now? I was having a good time and I had almost forgotten about the incident. "Um, hey."

"Look, can you tell me exactly what happened with you and Emmett, I know you and I haven't had the greatest relationship, but I need to hear this."

I felt horrible. I felt very slimy and just…just… like a whore. I wasn't, he kissed me, but I felt like a whore anyway. I got up and walked up stairs into Jacob's room, he had already heard, but Paul hadn't, and I wanted to avoid that. "Aaron visited my dreams last night so I went down to tell you guys, Emmett was the only one there so we talked for about a half an hour, I was about to go to sleep when he kissed me. Rosalie, I'm sorry, and like you said, we haven't had the greatest relationship, but I would never do that to anyone. Even someone I hated." It was the truth, I wasn't someone who made other girls cry by kissing their boyfriends right in front of them, that was just bitchy.

"Thanks, I had better go, bye." She hung up. I walked down stairs.

"Who was that?" Jacob asked.

"No one, don't worry about it." I lied.

"Okay then, do you want to go see a movie with the guys and Leah?"

I smiled, I needed to get out. "Yeah, sounds great, I'm going to go get dressed." I put on my blue ruffle top from Express, some white bermuda shorts, and my blue converse. I went into the bathroom quickly, put my hair up into a blue ribbon and put on some makeup. I came downstairs and said "Let's go!"

"Okay, we get to go get Quil and Embry." Jacob said.

"Kay, what movie are we going to go see?"

"I have no clue, do you know Paul?"

"Nope." Paul said. "I think we are just going to choose once we get there."

"Sounds good to me!" I said as we walked towards Jacob's car. We drove to Quil's house and once we got there, he wasn't ready.

"Damn, what is taking him so long?" Paul said.

"I don't know, throw a rock at his window or something to get him to come down." I was joking, but Paul took it seriously, and unfortunately for Quil, the window was open.

"OW!! WHAT THE HELL?!?!" Quil screamed. I started laughing, Jacob did too. Quil looked out the window and saw Paul there. "DAMMIT PAUL!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?" He yelled.

"Hurry up and get down here or we are going to be late for the movie!" Paul yelled back up. He climbed back into the car.

"You know I was joking right?" I said.

"Oh, well, it worked." He replied. I shook my head and started laughing again. Quil climbed into Jacob's car.

"Okay, who's bright idea was it to throw a rock at my open window?" Quil asked. Paul pointed at me. "Could you not tell it was open?!"

"No! I was in the car! I was joking anyway! Paul was dumb enough to think I wasn't kidding." I replied.

"Oh so now it's my fault?" Paul said as drove up to Embry's house.

"Yes it is." I said. Embry climbed into the car.

"What's up?" He said.

"Paul threw a rock at my window which happened to be open after Amber suggested it to him." Quil said. Embry started laughing.

"I was kidding!" I said. "I'm innocent!" Everyone started laughing. We sped down the highway to Port Angeles. I was happy, I know it sounds weird because my life was falling apart, but Jacob was always there to make it better, he made sure I was happy. "Okay, who wants to see Drag Me to Hell?" I said.

Jacob laughed. "The last time we saw a horror movie you freaked out." He said.

"Did not!" I protested.

"So why did you scream?" He asked.

"One part!"

Everyone laughed at me. "I don't mind seeing that movie, it looks good." Embry said.

"Yeah me too." Quil said.

"Thank you!" I said. "Now is everyone else going to meet us there?" I asked.

"That's the plan." Jacob said.

"Paul, what do you think about seeing Drag Me to Hell?" I asked.

"Sure, why not." He said. We drove into the movie theater. I got out of the car and we all walked towards the rest of the guys and Leah by the ticket stand.

"Hey!" I said to Leah.

"Hey, what's up?" She said.

"Nothing much, are we the only girls?" I asked looking around.

"Yeah, but I am normally alone, so this is an improvement! I tried to get Sam to bring Emily and Jared to bring Kim one time and it didn't work."

I laughed. "Fun, fun." I said sarcastically.

She laughed. "You wouldn't believe some of the movies we see."

"Ha, I suggested Drag Me to Hell."

"NO! Why did you do that?!"

"I like horror movies?"

"I hate them!"

"I have an idea!"

"What?"

"Let's sneak away and go see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past."

"I like your thinking, let's go."

"Bye Jacob!" I called.

"What the- Amber! What the hell?!" He yelled back.

I laughed. "Leah and I are going to see a chick flick, see you in…" I looked at the movie time. "Two hours!" I called.

He shook his head. "I can't believe you!"

"You can't?"

"Good point, have fun, see you in two hours." Leah and I laughed and we ran to the ticket stand. "Two for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past." I said. As soon as we got the tickets we bought popcorn and went to the theater. "I am so glad I have a girlfriend." I said to Leah. "I only have two and both don't even live near me, well one is coming up here tomorrow so…"

Leah laughed. "Right there with you Amber." She replied. "What's this girls name who's coming up here?"

"Rebekah Johnston. She and I were best friends in California." I said.

"Who's your other friend?"

"Gracie Gibbs, she lives in Galveston."

"Huh, do you always live near a beach?" She asked.

I laughed. "Yup! I love the ocean, I always have to have one near me."

"I love the ocean, but not that much. It must have been a pain paying for the houses you lived in."

"Not so much in Galveston, but in Los Angeles? It was hell, I lived in an apartment near the ocean and it was sooooo much, I thought I was going to go broke."

Leah laughed. The movie started. We were so loud when we laughed someone threatened to have us kicked out, I gave him the finger and she shut up within seconds. What a bitch. Once the movie was over we walked outside and waited for a little while for the guys. "How was the movie?" I asked Jacob.

"Good, how was your chick flick?" He asked.

I laughed. "Good, we almost got kicked out, it was so funny, I gave the lady the finger and that shut her up."

He laughed. "That sounds like you."

"Shut up!" I said. Quil, Embry, Paul and I climbed back into Jacob's car and headed back towards La Push. "So, Paul, how much of our dinner are you going to eat?" I asked jokingly.

"About half." He replied joking as well. We all laughed, I knew I could be good friends with the guys, they knew probably better than anybody I was off limits.

"No, I don't want you to starve, take my dinner." I added.

"Okay, okay, jeez." Paul said. I laughed.

"You eat a ton. I thought I ate a lot, then again, for my size I do." It was the truth; I should probably weigh about three hundred pounds, the thing that prevents that is my metabolism, I would compare it to a shrew (they have to eat every two hours or they die, and that about sums up my appetite).

"You do!" Jacob said. "You eat way too fast too."

"Thank you Jacob." I said. Quil and Embry laughed. "That is the way to compliment your girlfriend. I feel so special." I said sarcastically.

"Just telling it like it is."

"Sometimes 'telling it like it is' is not what to say. I have learned my lesson believe me." So true.

"How so?"

"One time I told this hippie dude he was a freak who needed to get a job and I was escorted off the beach by the police." Everyone cracked up. "It's the truth! He just rented out chairs and umbrellas; he looked like he was purple too from being in the sun so much. I have said so many things to get me in trouble you wouldn't believe it, that time was just a glimpse of what could possibly go wrong from speaking your mind."

"So the moral of the story is don't tell hippies off or you will be thrown off the beach?" Quil said.

"No! The moral of the story is think before you say anything. And that too." I replied.

We drove up to Embry's, "Bye see you later!" Jacob called out the window. A few minutes passed of random conversation and we drove up to Quil's, "Bye Quil!" He called out the window. "Okay Paul do you want to come to our house or go back to your house?" Jacob asked.

"I think I will go back to my house." He replied.

"Okay." We drove towards Paul's house and dropped him off.

"So why does Katie hate you?" Jacob asked me.

"We got into a really stupid fight yesterday about you." I replied I didn't like keeping things from Jacob; I tried to tell him everything.

"I'm sorry…" He looked guilty now.

"She doesn't like me being around you because I seem to keep getting hurt." I replied.

"Makes sense I guess."

"I told her how you saved me from that vampire that was attacking Leah and I and she shut up immediately. She is so difficult sometimes." I added the last part because number one, it was true and number two, I didn't want him feeling guilty. He was my personal sunshine that made me feel better when my life was slowly falling apart, like right now, I couldn't have him sad. We pulled into his driveway and we got out. We walked into his house and Billy was watching TV.
