Sorry about last chapter. It felt shitty and guess what I ended up getting after drinking from a friend's coffee? Mono-fucking-nucleosis! I just love my luck! Now everyone's gonna think that I Frenched the world and a half... My right ear hurts like hell from all of the pressure. Lovely thought, isn't it?

Enough of the gross details. I heard some constructive criticism earlier and I am very thankful for it. I really should put more planning into this. I do plan some, but a lot of this is whatever my heart felt was right at the time. Anyways, I thank you all for the PMs and reviews!

Jacob: -gives 'Get Well Soon!' card- I drew us on the inside! ^-^

Me: Wait, so that's me?

Jacob: Yeah. Why? :C

Me: No reason. ;D

Jacob: T^T

Chapter 11: She's Close

"C'mon, Jacob!" Edward jumped onto the bed and shook him awake.

The shifter's eyes opened, the bright morning light washing the room in a peaceful, almost nostalgic, way. "What the fuck, Edward," he grumbled, "Don't you know what time it is?"

"Seriously, Jacob," he chucked, propping his head up on his hands and digging his elbows into the fabric next to Jacob, "It noon."

"Oh," he laughed.

"Get up, deadbeat," egged the vampire, "You're taking a shower."

Jacob cocked his eyebrow.

Edward laughed. "Don't worry. If you need help, Carlisle will help you."

"Gee, that's comforting," laughed the shifter, "Having you dad help me get into the shower..."

"It's handicap accessible," chimed Alice from the door.

They both turned to look. She smiled when she saw the spark in her brother's eyes that had been dead for a year now. She laughed at Jacob, who looked terrible. He had multiple days of bed-head built up s that his hair looked like it would never be neat again.

"Don't worry, Alice," joked Edward, "He likes it spiky."

Jacob chuckled. "Leave my hair out of this!" He tugged at it with his fingers.

"Get up!" she commanded, "If you take to long, you'll be late for-"

"Alice!" Edward scolded.

Alice pulled the corners of her mouth downward. "Oops."

"What are you...?" Jacob trailed curiously.

"I'm not cooking lunch again, so we're going to a restaurant," declared Edward.

"Edward!" he exclaimed, "Don't you think that-" he looked at Alice and stopped.

She chuckled. "Don't worry. I know." She smiled mischievously.

"Edward!" he scowled.

"Oh, come on! Jacob, it's Alice we're talking about," he reasoned, "Now go take a shower."

Jacob sat up and winced slightly, remembering how much pain that would have caused him not long ago. His bones had healed fast! Edward helped him out of bed and gave him a cane.

"Seriously?" Jacob complained.

Edward and Alice walked with him to the bathroom to catch him in case he didn't adjust to the cane smoothly. Carlisle passed them, completely stunned.

"Amazing progress, Jacob!" he observed, "You're knee is already starting to heal. You can actually move it!"

The shifter laughed, "Thanks for the help, Doc."

-In The Car-

"Edward?" started the shifter.

"Hm?"

"Don't you think that this is a little... soon?"

"What do you mean?"

Jacob looked at him. "I mean, yesterday you... Don't you think I need a little bit of time to adjust?"

"Jacob," he replied, "I know for a fact that you don't. I know that you don't loveme, but I know that you're willing to give me a shot."

"Edward..." he protested, "I may be willing to try, but do you honestly think that my pack will let me?"

"Fuck them."

The statement was so blunt and simple, that it shocked Jacob. "What the fuck! Edward! They're my pack! I can't just say 'fuck them'and go off on my own little adventures! I-"

"Why the hell not?" his fingers began to grip the wheel tighter.

"Because, Edward, that's just how it is. I can't just ignore them. They've cared for me since day one and-"

Edward pulled off to the side of the road and slammed the brakes. "They haveNOT fucking cared for you at all! Did they go out to find you when you were hurt? No! Did they take care of you when you needed it? No!"

"Edward-"

"Let me finish!" The vampire was seething with anger, but not towards Jacob. "Those bastards never once came to visit you when you were hurt. They didn't even fucking call to check up on you!" An obnoxious crack rang through the Volvo as the steering wheel snapped. "Dammit!" exclaimed Edward.

Jacob leaned over and wrapped his arms around the furious vampire. "Calm down, Edward."

"How can I, Jacob?" he began to quiet, "How can I calm down? You're almost better. If you wanted to, you could probably leave right now and go back to those heartless pricks who could care less how you're doing."

"I promise, Edward," he whispered into the vampire's ear, "If there's anything I can do about it, I'm not going anywhere."

Edward's anger completely melted away as he made eye contact with the shifter. He could see every fleck of color in Jacob's eyes. His eyes were not just one color of brown. They were made up of thousands of tiny flecks of slightly different shades of brown. His eyes looked not like chocolate or mud, but more like a warm mocha color. "I love you."

The shifter smiled. 'I think I might fell the same way.'

Edward smiled softly. "I'd sure hope so."

Jacob scowled. "Stay the fuck out of my head!"

"Sorry," shrugged the vampire, giving Jacob a quickly kiss. "Wish me luck on driving this thing." He gripped the broken steering wheel and put the car into drive.

"Where are we going?" asked Jacob.

"Well, if you must ruin the surprise..."

"Dammit, Edward!" he demanded, "Just tell me!"

"Okay, okay!" he laughed, "Fine! I'll spoil it!"

-At The Movie Theatre- (Don't you like how the transition answered the question that Jacob asked? Clever!)

"A movie?" Jacob cocked an eyebrow. "You're not old-fashioned at all," Jacob joked sarcastically.

"Excuse me," Edward protested, but if we were back in my era, we'd be on a chaperoned walk through the town square.

Jacob laughed. "How old are you?"

Edward laughed. "Most of your 'elders' are younger than me."

The movie went well. They watched "Remember Me" in theatre 4. The day went by smoothly enough. Until Alice called.

"Edward, can you come home?" she asked nervously, knowing that she was interrupting them, "Jacob has a visitor."

Edward sighed as he stood up from the table in the restaurant they were in. 'Don't tell me-"

"A member of his pack is here."

He laughed. "I'll be right there, but there is no way in hell that I'm bringing Jacob. Those bastards-"

"Edward," Jacob interrupted sadly, overhearing their conversation, "If it's my pack, I have to go."

Edward didn't even put up a fight, clinging onto the hopeless lie that he may be able to impress the pack. "Fine." He slapped eighty dollars on the table to avoid pissing off the waitress and stormed out of the restaurant, Jacob close on his tail.

The two rode in silence. Edward reached home in half the time that it took to get there. By the time that he had gotten out of the car, he had completely forgotten about being nice. He walked up to the visitor, obvious a shifter, and almost knocked his skull in. Only Jacob's voice stopped him.

"Relax, Edward!" he cried out, "It's only Seth!"

Edward relaxed some, as he trusted Seth after he had helped him destroy Victoria. "Seth, what are you doing here."

"I-I need to talk to Jacob," he stuttered, nervous from Edward's obvious anger.

"I'll bet you do," he snorted.

"Please, Edward! It's important... I promise to explain to you later. It's something that you might find important too..."

Edward sighed, loosening up. "Well can you tell me anything?"

Seth shifted his gaze. "There's another vampire, and she's close."

Okay! That's the end. No more updates again. Ever. JUST KIDDING! Oh, buddy! I know where I'm going and I shall create a aside story for this eventually too! I feel much better now and I am glad to have such amazing readers. Love you guys! Keep it up with the reviews!

Jacob:This chapter is devoted to mcflyforlife024!

Me: Jacob, you ruined the closing dialog...

Jacob: Oh, what the FUCK! I guess I just ruin EVERYTHING now, huh? Well fuck you, Judas. FUCK YOU!

Me: o.o

Jacob: ...I'm sorry. :I

Me: Don't worry. It excites me when you're angry. ;D

Damn. This chapter is short, I know, but I had to cut off here. I'm about to go into a long rant from Seth and I wanted to uplaod tonight. Haha
