I didn't sleep that night. I had more energy than usual so I cleaned the entire downstairs perfectly right down to scrubbing the kitchen floor.

I left Charlie a note around 3am saying I was going to switch the route for my morning jog and end at Jake's house.

I figure I'd make breakfast for everyone there since Charlie was meeting Harry and Billy for their usual Sunday fishing trip.

I wanted to do some free running today so I went through the forest.

I started off at a slow jog than started running two steps up a tree to flip off, than grab a branch to propel myself forward. I was flipping and jumping off of anything I could find.

As I approached the La Push border I sensed someone following me so I quickly climbed up a tree and sat on a branch looking down.

I saw the other wolf from my dream and knew it was Jared.

Hm, they did mention doing patrols along the border.

I decided to mess with him a little bit so I jumped out of the tree and landed on his back.

"Giddy up!" I yelled out laughing.

Jared freaked and bucked me off.

I did a few flips in the air and landed gracefully on my feet.

Thank you Renee for making me take those gymnastic and ballet classes.

Jared phased real quick and ran over to me when he noticed who I was.

"Oh my god! Bella are you ok? I didn't hurt you did I? Oh god, Paul is going to kill me! What are you doing out in the forest this early?" Jared yelled everything at me so quick I was surprised I caught it all.

I laughed. "Chill out Jared, I'm fine. I was just doing some free running on my way to Jake's." I was laughing even harder by the time I was done.

"What is free running? And why are you laughing so hard?"

I guess Jared didn't notice he forgot something, so I pointed down while holding my sides to keep from exploding due to laughter overdose. In his rush to make sure I was ok Jared had forgot to cover some not so private anymore parts.

Jared actually blushed as he ran behind a bush to put his pants on.

"Much better Jared. Ok free running is a type of extreme sport. I actually picked it up in phoenix when I saw some guys jumping building to building. It's a way to use your environment to your advantage. You just run and pretty much jump and flip off of the object around you, in this case the rocks and trees."

"Oh, well, that's um, cool? Yea, I guess I'm going to get back to patrol. Please be careful. I know you know what's out here. Although you have yet to tell us how the hell you managed to punch Sam that hard, I have to disagree with everyone when it comes to you protecting yourself. I know you're hiding something big, but I'm not going to push you for answers. Just be safe and don't keep it from Paul too long. He's my best friend and it will hurt him if you keep secrets from him." Jared waved and left to go phase to finish his patrol.

Well, looks like Jared really is a good guy. I don't think it will be long till I let him in. Now that just leaves Sam. With the whole pack mind thing he'll find out anyway after I tell Jake and Paul. I would prefer to be the one telling them though, or at least be there when he finds out.

I just ran the rest of the way to jakes after stopping at the local 24hr food mart for supplies.

It was still dark out so no one would notice me running with all these 'heavy' bags.

When I got to Jake's the door was unlocked so I just walked right in.

Wow, anyone can just walk right in here when they're sleeping.

I internally laughed at that seeing as that's exactly what I'm doing.

It was about 5:30 and I knew Charlie would be getting here in about an hour.

I went to the kitchen and unloaded the food putting it where it belonged for easier access later.

I figured first I would make lunches for Charlie and the guys to bring on their trip. I just made some sandwiches and tossed them in the cooler I found in the pantry. I also tossed in some bags of chips and put the cooler to the side. I figured just before they leave I would put some beers and water bottles in the cooler too.

After that, I got started on breakfast at 6am just as I heard Billy get up and head to the bathroom to shower, I assumed.

Twenty minutes later I had a fresh pot of coffee, scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes and bacon all set out on the table buffet style.

Billy had finally made his way into the kitchen and jumped when he noticed me there. He put a hand to his chest.

"My god Bella! Are you trying to give this old man a heart attack?"

"You know 'old man' when you leave your door unlocked anyone can just walk right in here." I pretended to scold him.

"And do what? Cook me breakfast?" Billy asked while laughing and waving his arm towards the food. I started laughing with him.

We heard the doorbell ring and Billy left me to go answer it. He came back in with Charlie and Harry in tow.

Charlie gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before I pushed them towards the food.

I finished packing the cooler with drinks and carried it out to Billy's truck when the men weren't paying attention.

As I was walking back in I saw a very sleepy Jake dragging himself toward the kitchen. The second he saw the food he perked right up and raced to get some.

"Save me some will you Jake? Gotta feed the chef too you know!"

I laughed at jakes face. He had half a pancake hanging out his mouth while trying to look sorry for getting food before me.

I quickly grabbed some eggs and bacon.

"The rest is yours tubby" I said while patting Jake's tummy.

Everyone laughed while Jake smiled and puffed out his chest as if to say 'who you calling tubby?' only he couldn't because he had another pancake shoved in his mouth which made the whole situation all the more funny.

As Jake was sitting down I went and grabbed us both a glass of orange juice and set his in front of him.

"Thanks" Jake managed to get out around the food still stuffed in his mouth.

I don't think he breathes while eating.

Breakfast didn't last long as the guys wanted to get going. We said bye and I took everyone's plates to the sink to wash as Jake headed towards the shower.

When I was done, I sat on the couch to wait patiently for Jake.

I guess I zoned out in my thoughts because I didn't notice Jake walk in until he sat, very ungracefully, next to me.

"So Bells, what's up?"

I took a deep breathe and steeled myself to tell Jake absolutely everything and hope he still accepts me.

A/N sorry it's taken so long. My brother-in-law is on leave from Afghanistan and so I am still visiting NY family. I have the next 2 chapters written the problem is typing it up and posting. I promise I am trying. Hope you like!
