"Hi mom" I say with a smile on my face. "Hi sweetie, I haven't seen you in a while."' She was beaming, "What's new?"
"Not much, I met a guy named Jake. I don't know what we are though. I think last night he carried me up to my room and slept with me but I can't remember."
"Lee. you are still asleep." Mom said with a very confused look on her face.
"No I'm not, you came back to see me. We're at home." I said, I was very confused too.
"Lee, I'm dead. We aren't at home." She said.

I shot up out of bed screaming. Then Brady came running in and started holding me.

"Shh, everything will be fine." he tries to calm me.
I sob into his chest, "Please go get Jake." I didn't even mean to say that it just came out of my mouth like word vomit. I guess I do need him. Brady ran out of the room. I hear the door slam, then a howl. I guess Jacob is on his shift.

In the time it took to find Jake and bring him back to the house I fell back asleep and has a dreamless sleep


I woke up to sunlight shining on my face and warm arms wrapped around me. I look down and see big russet arm encircling me. I smile and turn around. "Morning." I whispered. His eyes fluttered open. "mornin'" he rumbled. "How'd you sleep?"
"Fine once you showed up." I smiled. Then I frowned. "Wait, what does this make us?" I sat up clutching the covers to my chest.
"What do you want us to be?" he asked and sat up too.
"I don't know." Then I got out of bed.
"Well we have time let's just take it slow. I know how you feel about us dating again. We obviously just passed the friend stage." Jake smirked. I started to giggle.
"I guess, but do you even like me?" that made Jacob jump out of bed.
"What kind of idiotic question is that?!"
"Figuring that you "loved" Bella, then you "loved" me, and then you went back to loving her. Do you even know what loving someone feels like?" I questioned.
"I do and I am feeling it right now. You're my imprint and I love you. I love you like a friend, I love you like a sister, but most of all I love you like a soul mate." he said it so passionately it was hard not to go and wrap my arms around him but I held back.
"I love you like a brother and a friend, but I'm not sure I'm ready to love you like a soul mate. Just give me time to think."
"I can do that." he walked around the bed and hugged me. I hugged back then he walked out of the room leaving me with butterflies in my stomach. Maybe I do like him as more than a friend.


We left and went to school. On the car ride to school Jacob asked me, "Do you think we will ever be normal again?"
"What do you mean?" I asked clearly confused
"Will we ever be normal again? Will we ever be less awkward around each other?"
"Well, I believe everything happens for a reason. Our break up and fight, I feel only made us stronger. But no, I don't think we will ever be normal again."
Jake sighed, "Okay."
"Hey I didn't mean it in a bad way." I playfully punch him in the arm. It made him look at me and I smiled at him. He forced a smile back. The rest of the car ride was silent.

At school all the guys were talking about the game we were playing after school. They were all talking about creaming Forks, our rivals. It will be a close game. I sure hope we win. This is gonna be the first game that the pack comes to. I'm going to play full out today. I will show them how good I am.

I head of to my last class, band. I'm going to make sure not to lick my reed "seductively."

Today Mr. Blowfis did't give one of his long lectures so I didn't have to lick my reed to keep it moist. This gave Jake no reason to make fun of me.

After Jake came up to me and said, "I heard a really loud squeak, I am assuming that it was you."
I retort, "I think you were listening to yourself."
"Hmmm, I don't think I was listening to me. I was for sure listening to you."
"I think you need to get your super wolf hearing checked. You might be going def." after that I sauntered of to the girls locker room. I heard Jacob yelled after me, "GOOD LUCK!"


At the game I was part of the starting 11 offense. Within the first 10 minutes I had scored. All the pack went wilded from the stands. Then I was taken off. The pack booed. Coach pulled me aside and said, "You have quite the fan club over there." I just laughed and said, "Yeah." Then Forks scored. In the last quarter we were tied 28-28. We had 5 minutes left. Seth snaps the ball to Will. Will passes the ball to Noah. Noah runs and gets tackled at the 30 yard line. This will be close I thought. I look up at the clock and we had one minute left. Seth snaps the ball to Will again. Will passes to me and I run with all my might. I see someone to the left of me diving at me. I jump over him. I keep running and I run right into the in zone. We won! The whole team runs onto the field and picks me up. "Lena! Lena! Lena!" They all chant. Then the pack came down onto the field. After my team put me down, I ran straight into a million bear hugs. The last bear hug I got was from Jake. It lasted a lot longer than the other ones. I heard a bunch of "ooo's" from the guys and I finally pulled away and went into the showers. After showering I went out to the parking lot to meet up with Brady, I was greeted by more hugs.
"Guys it was one win not the game to determine the end of the world or something."
"I guess Lee but we are still super proud of you." This came from Brady.
"Yeah you did a great job out there." Paul said, nervously scratching his head.
"Paul?! You said something nice for a change! I'm soo proud of you!" I giggled when Paul turned red.

We celebrated with a feast Emily created. After supper I went into the kitchen to help Emily. I started to dry dishes when Emily brought up Jake and my relationship.
"How's it going with you and Jake?" she asked.
"Well it certainly is going." I stated.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's just last night I had a bad nightmare and I cried for Jake and Brady got him and he ended up falling asleep with me. That took our relationship to the next level. Then we talked about it and he said he loved me, but I'm sure I'm ready for that stage. So, I told him that and he said that it was fine, but he didn't seem fine about it. I just don't know if I should go that fast with him. Last time I did, it just ended up in a big mess." I told her.
"Well you should just let it happen, that's what I did with Sam and look how it turned out! Everything happens for a reason, you should just let it happen."
"I guess you're right. Thanks so much Emily."


We walked into the living room after the dishes were cleared. Emily went to sit by Sam. I scanned the room and saw Jacob sitting on the couch. I went to sit by him. As I was about to sit down Embry jumped onto the spot next to Jake, "Sorry, this spot is taken." He stated with a smirk on his face. I moved and sat on the ground by Seth. "Sup bestie. Nice game today." I told him.
"You too. You were our hero, like always." Seth gave one of his prize winning smiles and I wrapped my arms around him and he put his arm around me. I heard a growl from behind me. I turn around and Jacob glaring at Seth.
"Hey! If you really wanted me to sit by you, you would have done something about Embry." I glared at him as everyone around us "Ohhhed" Then Jacob punched Embry in the gut. Embry just laughed.


The next day at school everyone congratulated us on our win yesterday. At the end of the day I made my way to study hall. I sat down at a table and felt someone sit down beside me. I look up and see Jacob.
"Hey." he said with a wide grin set on his face.
"Yo." I said back.
"So I was thinking since you said you wanted to take it slow. Would you maybe wanna go out to a movie this weekend?" he said, "I mean you don't have to, it was just a suggestion. I don't want to force you into anything." he kept blabbering.
"Jacob," he looked at me, "I would love to." I smiled, he grinned back. It almost looked like his face was going to break.


Please review! I was thinking about just writing a story not related to any book. Tell what you think about it!
