Jacob had fallen asleep right when his head hit the pillow. The ordeal had really taken a lot out of him.

Edward meanwhile couldn't find enough peace to even stay in his room. He just kept pacing around, thinking. He wasn't sure why the urge to make sure Jacob didn't get hurt was growing so strong. And what surprised him was that it wasn't even that now, he wanted to be near him now.

He wanted Jacob to stop harboring all those feelings toward him. He wanted to make Jacob stop hurting more then anything. He let out a sigh and walked out of his room into the empty hallway, and began making his way down the hall. He stopped in front of Jacob's door and opened it and stepped inside.

It seemed Jacob was still sleeping. To Edward's relief, he looked down at the young hybrid.

/Why do I get these urges every time I see him, am I just guilty?/ Edward wondered in his head. Jacob moaned softly in his sleep causing Edward to freeze. Jacob moved his head slightly before once more settling.

Edward let out a sigh of relief, after all it would be hard to explain to Jacob why he was standing there in his room like that. He had the increasing urge to be near Jacob lately, but then again he felt Jacob was his responsibility so maybe that was why he wanted to be near him.

/Why do you make me feel this way?/ he asked.

...

The next morning when Jacob awoke..there was something..odd about his room it seemed. Although he wasn't sure what it was he shrugged it off. It wasn't to much longer until school would start again, and Jacob would be starting there as well.

He let out a sigh running his hand through his hair again. He wished he could close his eyes and open them again and find himself just laying in his bed at the Reservation.

/I wonder if dad is doing alright...I hope he's okay. I wish I could see La Push at least one last time./ Jacob knew however that he was forbidden to enter La Push ever again. He closed his eyes at that thought.

He wondered if he'd ever even see any of his pack members again. Even if he did see them it was unknown how they'd treat him now. Jacob wasn't sure if he'd be able to take his pack calling him a leech.

He sighed heavily and stood up walking out into the hallway. He started walking down towards the stairs and felt his attention drawn once more to the door at the end of the hall.

He really wanted to know what was in there. "Maybe I could.." Jacob muttered under his breath. He shook his head though. He walked downstairs to see Edward and Jasper conversing at the foot of the stairs.

The two looked over at him once alerted of his presence.

"Hey you have to come hunting with us," Jasper said. Jacob looked at him.

"Why? I thought I wasn't going to have to do that yet," he said.

"Yes, but Carlisle says that it's not good for you to be cooped up in the house all day." Jacob contemplated arguing but figured that they weren't really giving him a choice.

"Fine but I'm not killing anything if that's what your implying," he said crossing his arms.

Jasper shrugged, "Suit yourself." Jacob followed the two outside.

/To think this is the one thing I thought I'd never be doing in a million years./ After all Jacob would never have thought for a second, that he would be hunting with vampires.

"We'll catch up with you Jasper," Jacob glanced over at Edward when he heard him. The blonde nodded and ran off in the other direction. And once again Jacob was alone...with Edward.

He side glanced at Edward cautiously and inched away from him. Edward looked at the wolf.

"Jacob I don't bite," he said. He immediately regretted saying it when the look crossed Jacob's face. "Sorry, that was a poor choice of words I suppose."

Edward sighed and started walking with Jacob at a fair distance beside him. Jacob continued to keep his gaze on Edward. He wasn't really ever relaxed around him...he was tense.

Finally Jacob couldn't take the silence anymore, "Why are you trying to get me to forgive you so badly?" he asked. The words fell out of his mouth, even though Jacob hadn't really meant to say it out loud. Edward glanced at him.

"Look Jacob, I'm going to be alive for an eternity, and technically so are you. And that means we're going to be in the same house as one another for an eternity." he stated. Jacob raised a brow at the teens reasoning. "And because of that, I'd rather not have any enmity between us. I don't want this to hang over my head for forever."

"You know I told you I can't help the way I feel about you," he said silently.

"I'm not trying to rush you," Edward said in reply. "But I will admit it's sort of annoying that you think that this is all my fault."

Jacob looked at him and glared slightly. "What do you mean not all your fault?" he asked.

"Well it's not as if I had any control over what I did...If I was conscious enough of my actions, I would have never attacked you."

"Yeah but you still did."

"And I apologized for it." Edward added. Jacob huffed slightly.

"And I told you before sometimes sorry's just not enough, just because someone says their sorry doesn't make it go away." he said looking down. "Even though someone apologizes it doesn't make it hurt any less...I mean sure we always so 'its okay' but we don't really mean it half the time. In our heads we're silently wishing for the person to trip and fall."

Edward raised a brow..it didn't even sound like Jacob was talking to him anymore. "Yeah, I guess I understand that."

Jacob looked over at him, "Oh and how do you know that you know what I mean." he interrogated.

"Jacob, I'm 108..I think I've dealt with a few more tragedies then you in my life." Jacob frowned in an annoyed manor.

/Wait...am I actually talking to him? What the fuck I shouldn't be talking to him!/

"Why not?" Jacob jumped when Edward said this. He quickly glared at the older vampire.

"Stay out of my head!" he said defensively. Edward merely looked back in front of him.

"You know it's not like I can just turn it on and off." Jacob grunted in reply. "School starts soon." Edward said offhandedly. Truth be told..trying to talk to Jacob or be within a foot of him always made everything extremely awkward. It was like the air got really thick.

"Yeah so..." Jacob didn't know why the vampire was trying to make conversation with him. After all it was obvious there was too much tension between them.

Jacob saw the other stop suddenly and Jacob already knew what that meant.

"I don't want to stick around for this," Jacob said walking over to a tree and easily climbed up on the various branches. And seated himself on one of the higher branches. Edward grunted slightly in acknowledgement.

Jacob blinked when in a blur Edward was once more out of sight. Even though he didn't like the guy he did have to admit he was fast as hell.

Jacob found himself looking around with a bored expression...he had to admit he still didn't really like being alone in this forest very much. Because he still had some bad memories from this place.

He heard a 'thud' and looked down to see a deer laying there. Jacob looked down at it when Edward walked out beside the beast. Edward looked down at the kill before looking up at where Jacob was seated.

"Are you going to want any of this?" he asked. Jacob once more couldn't contain himself from making that slightly scowling face.

"Bleh!" he said. Edward rolled his eyes.

"Hypocrite," he muttered silently as he turned back to his prey and kneeled down by the doe's neck. He could feel Jacob's eyes staring at him.

He leaned down so that his head was hovering mere centimeters from the throat. Jacob stared at him, he could feel anxiety building up in the pit of his stomach. It was the odd feeling of when it was something you really didn't want to watch, but you still watched it anyways.

His eyes went rounder when Edward exposed his fangs, he could hear his breath hitch involuntarily in his throat. If he had to name the thing that scared him the most about Edward, it was most definitely his fangs.

He widened his eyes when Edward sank his teeth into the prey. Jacob felt extremely sick then, the images of that night flashed briefly into his head. He lifted his hand up covering his mouth as he stared in horror and disgust at the scene.

It felt as if he just might throw up from watching this, but he could feel a hint of yearning as well. Although the scent of blood that now drifted through the air disgusted him, he found it tempting as well.

Edward heard a soft thud behind him as he lifted his head up. He looked behind him to see Jacob standing there staring at him. He knew the look well, horror and disgust. Jacob slowly removed the hand covering his mouth.

There was a mutual silence between the two of them for a moment. Just staring at each other, like they were saying everything with their eyes. It was almost in that exact moment they had a somewhat..mutual understanding.

Like the feelings of both of them were expressed to each other during that silent stare. Jacob finally broke the trance like state and looked the other way.

"You...gave me the blood..didn't you?" Jacob asked silently. It was like he had just had a silent realization, even though he pretty much knew this already. But now it seemed it made much more sense for some reason.

Edward remained silent however while keeping his gaze on the younger boy. He knew that the question was more like a statement then an actual question.

"You remember that huh?" Edward questioned. He wasn't sure if he had expected Jacob to remember the incident or not. Since at the current time Jacob had been pretty out of it.

"I remember enough of it." he replied quietly. "But you were the one who gave it to me weren't you?" he asked. Again his question was said more like a statement.

"Yes I was," Edward decided to reply with. "I don't understand why that really matters though."

"...Your just..not the one I would have expected it to be." Jacob said silently.

While what he really was saying was, 'Your not the one I expected to act that way.'

"I see." Edward replied.

"I mean after all your not the person I would have expected them to let be around me, to do that." Jacob said. Even though was he was really saying was, 'I wouldn't think you would be the one to volunteer to do something like that.'

Edward made a slight grunting noise as he stood up, finally breaking his gaze on Jacob.

"You'd be surprised about all the things you don't know." he said letting his voice linger slightly. Making Jacob wonder just what exactly had Edward meant by that statement. Jacob watched as Edward walked past him keeping his distance.

"What are you trying to imply?" Jacob asked furrowing his brows slightly. Edward smiled lightly glancing at him for a moment before passing him.

"That's for you to decide." he said. Jacob blinked watching the vampire walk off.

/Why did he have to reply in a way that says so much, and yet reveals absolutely nothing!/ Jacob asked. He frowned slightly as his mind wondered about what Edward had been implying.

He sighed and started walking after Edward.

/I wonder if Jasper is sending out more of those calming waves that they were talking about,/ Jacob found himself wondering, since he had just had an..actual conversation. One that did not express malice with the person he was supposed to hate with every fiber of his being.

Jacob let out another soft sigh at that thought.

/That must be what it is./
