{Seth's POV}~

"No."

"But, Jane!"

"Seth!" She said, mocking me.

I sighed, frustrated. "But if you'd just listen to m-"

"No! They hate me. Especially Kate." Jane protested. Jane and I were standing in the front of Emily's house, arguing. The pack had gone off on a run and Emily was visiting Billy, so I had the place to myself for a while. I was trying to make Jane go back to the Cullens to apologize and hopefully stop hating each other. But as I had guessed, Jane was making this hard for me.

"Look, the Cullens are a forgiving and kind family." I tried to reason with her. She scoffed as I said this. "Can you just try?" She didn't say anything. "...for me?"

Jane opened her mouth to say something then closed it. I gave her my best puppy-dog face. I even whimpered a little. "Ugh! Fine! Just stop with the faces." I laughed. She rolled her beautiful red eyes.

I grabbed her hand and ran, ignoring the bitter cold feeling of her skin...

We stood several feet away from the house. I took a deep breath and silently thanked god that no one was outside. I turned towards Jane who, as always, wore a bored expression. I frowned at her. She shot me a confused look.

"What?" Jane said in her usual dark calm voice.

I shook my head slowly. "Can you atleast try to smile?"

"Why?"

"Because you always look so cold and menacing." She narrowed her eyes. "Come on...a little smile. Please."

Jane made an annoyed noise and smiled. I rubbed my chin. "Hmmm."

"What now?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips. My face broke into a wide grin and I chuckled. "You just look so weird when you actually smile for once. I'm used to you scowling at people." Jane swatted me on my arm, playfully.

I laughed even more. "Alright, you just stay here for a moment and I'll talk to them." Before she could respond, I rushed off.

The first person I met up with was Edward. I was gonna explain the whole situation to him but instead I let him read what happened in my thoughts instead. As he listened, his expression changed from calm to shocked to frustrated.

"Oh, Seth..." He started. I cut him off.

"Edward come on! She's trying! Jane wants to apologize." I urged.

"More like you pressured her to." Edward stated flatly. I gave him a hurt look. Carlisle and Kate walked in that moment. Right when Edward mentioned Jane.

Carlisle spoke first. "Jane? What about her?" His face was thoughtful. Kate, on the other hand, didn't show any emotion at all and just stood there. I waited patiently as Edward explained the story to them.

Carlisle sighed and looked about to protest but Kate interrupted. "Let her come." We gave her shocked looks.

"Uh. What?"

Edward regained his voice first. He sounded confused. "But you hate Jane...don't you?" Kate grinned evily and Edward slowly smirked. Was I missing something?

He turned towards me. "No, your not missing anything, just get Jane."

"But what about the others?"

"They'll hear about it later." ((Author: I'm just really lazy to include all the family members :D but I'll include Esme and Emmett))

I literally had to drag Jane to the house. She dug her heels into the dirt and refused to move. I pulled harder. "Come on, Jane."

"No."

I let go of her wrist. Before Jane could turn and hightail it outta there, I ran behind her and pushed her forward by her lower back. She sighed in frustrated and let herself be pushed. I noticed Edward,Carlisle,Kate,Esme and Emmett up ahead.

"Hello Seth." Esme greeted. I nodded, grinning at her.

Jane looked everywhere except at them. I heard Edward grumble in frustration. Kate had one hand on her waist and was staring ahead at Jane. I glanced at Kate and elbowed Jane in her arm. She looked briefly at me then finally looked at the others.

"I'm sorry." She sure didn't sound sorry. Or look it.

Emmett let out a bark of a mock laughter. Carlisle whispered something to him. He rolled his eyes. Edward spoke up. "Say it like you mean it."

Jane sighed loudly. "I'm sorry."

He pressed on. "For?"

She glared at him. "For being mean..and torturing Kate. There." Esme glanced at Carlisle who, with the others, were waiting to see what Kate would say.

I watched Kate carefully, wondering what she might do or say. Finally Kate spoke up. And what she said, shocked all of us.

"Alright. I forgive you."

I even saw Jane show a look of shock. "Wow. Really? Your not just kidding?"

Kate almost grinned. "I will forgive you and let this whole thing pass...if..."

I heard myself mutter. "There's always an 'if'" Jane waited patiently beside me.

"..if you let me..at least one time..." She did grin this time. "Electrocute you." I froze. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Jane tense. The Cullens waited in shocked silence. Waiting for what Jane would say to this.

After for what seemed a whole year, Jane spoke. "Interesting compromise. Here's what I say, you can electrocute me if you can catch me." She smirked. Kate raised a blond eyebrow.

"Your on."

Just like that, Kate rushed towards Jane at inhumane speed. Jane gracefully moved out of the way. I had to run to the sidelines to avoid being knocked over as they continued dodging each other's blows.

Jane dodged as Kate's hand snaked out, almost hitting her on the head. I heard Emmett chuckle. "Oh, so close!" I did notice that Jane wasn't making any attempt to actually hit Kate. The Denali backhanded her across the face. She let out a little yelp as she stumbled backwards.

Kate ran towards her before she had time to recover. And she electrocuted her. At first I didn't see it. But when Jane cried out, I knew what was done. I winced at the sparks that was coming from Kate's hand to Jane's neck. She fell to her knees and rubbed her neck.

I was about ready to rush to her side when Kate kneeled before her and whispered, I had to strain my ears to hear it.

"I once told Edward that you needed a taste of your own medicine. There's more where that came from. You better not mess with me again, little girl." Then Kate stood and ruffled Jane's blond hair like she was just a bratty 5 year old who acted up. She walked off.

Edward and Emmett followed behind her. Carlisle, Esme and I rushed over. Esme spoke first. "Are you okay?" Jane nodded and got to her feet. Which failed. And she ended up losing her balance and nearly tripped over her own feet.

I immediatly gripped her arm to steady her. Esme held the other. Jane wrenched her arms free. "I'm fine. I'm fine." She mumbled. Carlisle examined her. She started walking but Carlisle grabbed the hood to her cloak,stopping her.

"Come on. You need rest after that shock treatment you just got. It'll be for the best." Jane seemed unconvinced.

I said, "It'll just be us three at the house. The others are gone, doing who knows what." Carlisle shot me a grateful look. Jane looked at me, then at Carlisle, then Esme. "Fine."

Esme smiled and led Jane back to the house, holding her by her arm in a motherly way. I saw a breif flash of uncertainty on her face. Once they were gone, Carlisle looked at me. "You love her." He didn't mean it as a question but I answered anyway.

"Yes. I do, Carlisle." I wasn't afraid to admit it. "What...what do you think of her?"

Carlisle was thoughtful. "I saw her eyes when she looked at Esme. I do believe that Jane never knew the warmth of a mother's love. Staying here and with you will be good for her conscience."

I smiled. If they being with her was good, for me and for her, then I swear I would spend an eternity with her.
