I do not own Twilight or any of the characters that appear in the series. They are the creation of Stephenie Meyer. Flames will still be ignored. I am planning on writing a sequel/companion story when this story is over so that I can continue with all of this, but it will be mostly focused on Seth finding someone. Who knows, maybe I'll speed up and begin it with this story and then continue it. We won't know until I get there. I want to have at least 23 chapters in this story. Bella will not physically be in many chapters because I just really don't like her.

Jacob sat on the black leather couch in Edward's room, silently thinking about everything that had happened. In one day he had ended a friendship with Bella, somehow gotten Seth pulled into it, and thrown a monkey wrench into Alice's friendship with Bella. At that point in time, Jacob Black felt hate for no one but himself.

Edward sat with Seth, Alice, and Carlisle downstairs in the kitchen. Seth was propped on the counter, Carlisle and Alice sitting at the table, and Edward was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He clenched his jaw as he continued to hear his lover's thoughts. He wanted to give him more privacy like he did for his siblings, but he couldn't help it. He needed to make sure that Jacob was okay, and until Jacob started talking and being honest about the well being of his mentality, Edward would resort to his telepathy.

"So, how any ideas how long he'll be moping?" Seth asked, breaking the silence as he lightly swung his legs over the counter.

Alice shrugged, "I can't see anything since you're both werewolves. It's really annoying. But you know him better than any of us, Seth. Has he ever been like this before?"

Seth shrugged, "He's been upset but if it ever got to this magnitude he would just phase and run."

Edward clenched his jaw tighter, "He's not going to phase."

Seth cocked his head to the side, "Why not?"

"Because right now he is utterly disgusted with himself and with being a werewolf. When he and Bella were fighting, he wanted to phase and rip her to shreds. He hates himself for feeling that way, even though we all know he never would have let himself do it. So, phasing would be the last thing that Jacob would want to do. He can't let his animal instincts take over in his human form, so he has to deal with it on his own terms," Edward said, not looking up from the floor.

Carlisle looked at his son, "Edward, I know that hearing his thoughts hurts you almost as much as it hurts Jacob to think of them, but despite what he thinks he needs you to be there for him now more than ever. If he truly hates himself as much as you say he does…"

Edward nodded as he finished Carlisle's thought, "Then keeping a distance is only helping him prove his own point. I understand…"

Seth looked at Edward, "Then why do you still look so…what's the word? Pissed? No…confused."

"Because if I have to hear another day's worth of those thoughts, I am going to take Rosalie up on her offer about dealing with Bella," Edward nearly growled as he walked out of the room and headed upstairs.

Jacob didn't even look up as Edward opened and door and entered his room. Before he knew it, a pair of cool arms wrapped around him and pulled him into an embrace, a cold hand gently leading his head to rest against the cool marble chest. As Jacob inhaled the scent of his lover, he felt more tears fall out of his eyes. He had never cried so much before, he couldn't understand why he would now.

"It's alright, Jake…nobody hates you," Edward soothingly whispered.

Jacob sniffled, "Except for Bella and myself…"

Edward growled softly, "Jacob, believe it or not, just about everyone at Forks High, with the exception of Mike Newton and Angela Weber, hates Bella. She was angered by our relationship, but you shouldn't let that get to you. It didn't work out between Bella and I, but that doesn't mean that we can't let things work between us."

Jacob nodded, "I know, and that's not why I'm upset, Edward. I'm upset because-"

"I know why you're upset, love, and I am telling you that you have no need to feel that way. You were upset and in the heat of things your werewolf instincts began to seep through. You can't let that bring you down all of the time. Being a werewolf is a part of you and you need to accept that and accept the negative aspects that come with it. But there are also some very positive things to it as well."

"Like what?" Jacob asked in disbelief.

Edward let out a soft sigh, "Well…there's the fact that you're not nearly as fragile as Bella, your temperature is high enough to where I can hold you in my arms and keep you safe without the fear of you freezing to death. As for the fight…I hate that it makes you feel this way, Jacob, but in a selfish way I am glad that it happened. You imprinted on me, and because of that I cannot bear to stay away from you for too long. Now I can see you all of the time," he smiled as he leaned in and kissed Jacob's temple.

Jacob let out a soft chuckle, "I've never cried like this before…except when my mom died."

Edward smiled and pulled Jacob closer, "I don't mind it, baby, as long as it isn't a recurring emotion."

Jacob smiled, "It isn't. I promise to not mope so much."

The vampire gently tilted Jacob's head up and kissed him softly on the lips, "Just be happy, Jacob. Whatever makes you happy- do it. That is all that I ask of you, my love."

Jacob smiled, "Thanks...for everything."

Edward smiled and kissed him again, "I know that you're only pretending to cheer up so that I won't stay up here to watch you mope, but I'm still going to stick with you."

Jacob smirked, "I hate how you're so perceptive."

Edward chuckled, "It's a gift, love."

The two lovers were soon pulled out of their conversation when Rosalie stormed into the room, "I am going to kill Bella Swan!"

Edward kept his arms around Jacob as he looked up at his sister, "She didn't."

"Oh, she did!"

Jacob stared between the two, "Okay, what is it that Bella didn't do, but apparently did do?"

Edward let out a sigh, "She's told Mike about us."

Jacob shrugged, "Okay…and?"

Edward clenched his jaw, "You saw how Seth's treated…now it's going to double and you're going to get some of it as well…and she's hatching a payback plan."

Jacob raised an eyebrow before laughing, "If it's a war she wants…then it's a war she's going to get."

Edward looked at Jacob, "We'll handle it, love."

Jacob rolled his eyes, "No, you won't, Edward. I will. I'm a big boy and I can stand up for myself," he kissed Edward's stone-like cheek.

Edward let out a small sigh, "Very well."

Jacob let out a soft sigh and looked at everyone before Rosalie left, leaving him and Edward alone.

Edward smiled, "Here we are-all alone. Think you can handle being happy?"

Jacob shot him a look, "That was so not funny, Cullen."

The vampire chuckled softly, "Maybe not to you…"

Jacob scoffed, "More like not to any sane person."

He looked into the ocher eyes of his lover before they moved closer to him. Before Jacob knew it, Edward's cool lips were pressing themselves against his hot ones. He melted into the kiss, allowing it to linger for a few moments before Edward pulled away, smiling at him, "Well, then…I guess it's a good thing none of us are sane."

Jacob smiled, "I dunno…Carlisle's pretty sane."

Edward smiled and leaned in, kissing Jacob again.

I'm going to end it here because I wanted to give some calmness before the REAL storm comes. Consider Bella just the thunderstorm and what's coming will be a hurricane. Unfortunately I need to put some drama in it because it'd be boring if it all went perfectly every chapter. I've decided that when this story is over I'm going to write a sort of spin off to it so that I can keep the background but it'll focus mostly on Seth, though Jacob will be in it as well. I can't say much for Edward because their relationship might be doomed soon. So, please review.
