Kim and I decided that it would be best for us not to dwell. So we talked about other things like favourite movies, music and colours. We just wanted to make it as comfortable as possible. We watched a couple of movies. It was good having a girl I could hang out with. I had Nida, but she had Josh to snuggle up with on the couch and that bugged me. At least I had someone I could talk to as well. We watched chick flicks with no complaints at all. We watched about three movies which ended up in five hours of total. It was 6:00pm in the evening now and Kim had to go. Jacob still hadn't come home and I was getting worried. Billy was out fishing as I saw on the note that he left on the fridge for Jacob and I.

Hey Kids;

Gone for a fishin' trip with Charlie.

Take care and there is some money for pizza in the tin

Jacob, be nice and share with Maya.

Dad.

I laughed at his comment. I hadn't met Jacob's sisters yet. Twins; that was all I've been told when he and I were randomly talking about families. Apparently they were holidaying somewhere in Canada. There was a thud on the porch so I made my way there. I grabbed a blanket to wrap around me and headed toward the front door. I opened it and looked outside. And there was Jacob sitting there. "Jacob" I said as I semi-ran to him.

"Maya" he said as he stood up and took my hands in his. I looked up at him "I…I've done some thinking…"

"Yes?" I asked him.

"I completely understand if you don't want to be with me. I get it; I'm dangerous" he said looking down at the floor.

"Don't" I said as I shook my head "don't ever think that I'm going to think that way"

"But, didn't you just see what happened at the beach?" he looked at me "or would you like a refresher course?"

"So?" I looked at him "does it look like I care that you're a werewolf?"

"That's the point…you're supposed to care" he looked at me in frustration.

"About what?" I sighed exasperatedly.

"That I could kill you Maya!" he looked at me "I could kill you; I don't want to hurt you"

"You'd hurt me more if you left" I answered as the tears started to emerge "I don't want to leave you. You can't make me" I said as they fell. Jacob came and held me into his arms.

"It's not like I want to. It's best that we stay friends"

"What are you talking about?" my heart started racing again and the tears started to fall. "I'm your imprint. Does that count for anything?"

"But, what? I'm a lousy werewolf. How good am I going to do you? If I hadn't come to the beach on time…" he trailed off "anything could've happened. I didn't protect you like I was made to do"

"Jacob, I couldn't care less" I said to him shaking my head.

"Maya, trust me…it's just better this way; its better you being safe instead of you risking your safety than being with me"

"Is that what you want then?" I asked him "do you want me to leave, Jacob?" he looked away, avoiding my eyes as I studied his reaction. Silence. "Fine," I said as I took off the blanket that was draped around me and handed it to him "I'll get my things then" I said as I headed inside to Jacobs room and dragged them out to my car. I opened the boot and threw my suitcase in and slammed it shut. Jacob stood at the porch, still staring at me. I got into my car and started the engine. I had to take a moment to myself as I put my hand son the wheel and let the tears fall. I looked down, took a deep breath and stared straight. This was it; he wanted me to leave. So, I was going to leave. To never return to La Push ever again…

There was a knock on my window, it startled me; it was Jacob. I rolled down the window but continued to stare straight, I didn't want to look at him, and I know my heart couldn't take another blow.

"Maya, get out of the car"

"Why?" I looked at him this time "you want me to leave don't you? This will be easier for you won't it?"

"No" he shook his head as he looked at me "I don't want you to leave. Please get out of the car"

I stood still and didn't move. He reached for the keys and turned the ignition off. He opened the door for me and pulled me out. He held me close and kissed my head, as he wrapped the blanket I gave him, around me again. He pulled me closer, as if it was the last time I'd ever be in his arms again. "So you want me to go Jacob?" my voice became shaky "is that what you really want?"

"I'm sorry I said that, I didn't mean it" he whispered "I was only thinking about your safety. I want to give you that option"

"But that's the thing Jacob, you don't know what I want" And it was stupid of you to think that you were doing me some kind of favour by pushing me away" I said as I wiped my tears "it's not what I want"

"What do you want?" he looked at me.

"I'm your imprint right?" I looked at him "and they said, that you will be whatever I need you to be"

He nodded. I held his hand and took a deep breath "Jacob…"I began "I know you want to give me time to choose and make a decision…but the thing is…I've already made up my mind"

"And that is?" he looked at me, I could tell he was preparing himself for heartbreak, as if he's already gone through it and predicted what would happen next.

"Jacob…I don't need a protector; I don't need a friend and I definitely don't need for you to be a brother to me"

"If you don't want any of that, what do you need?"

"I need you…to be with me, Jacob"

"Why?" he looked like he was pleading, wondering why and how I could ever need him.

"Because…" I began. I don't know what he'll do once he finds out but I need to tell him how I really felt and hopefully he knew that I wasn't going anywhere but wherever he was. "It's because I'm in love with you Jacob" I looked into his eyes "I love you"

He looked at me and his eyes softened "Maya…" he said pressing his forehead against mine and now dimming his voice down to a whisper "I love you too" We both slowly leaned in and finally shared our first kiss. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck. In the midst of this tender moment, which lasted for ever in ecstasy for the both of us I'm sure, interruptions had to be called for. There was a flash of light coming toward us. It looked like a Silver Volvo by the shape and model of it, I saw a shadowed figure get out of the car and approach us. Jacob held me tighter. "Maya, stay close…don't go" he said as he kissed me on the forehead as we both awaited for the person approaching.

DUM DUM DUM! I know I hate leaving you in suspense but hey. Its kinda obvious isn't it? Haha. But please R&R.

And I know this chapter is short...there are a few longer ones on its way.
