Chapter Fourteen, Alexis POV:

"Okay so you admit you love me but you can't be with me?" Embry was really ticking me off. I didn't understand why we couldn't just be together.

"Look it's complicated Alexis. It's better we aren't together but I do love you, always will." Embry got up and started to walk but I grabbed his arm.

"Your telling me that something going on you can't tell me about and that's why we can't be together," I stated looking at him.

"Yes. And I'm sorry, I really am. It's just safer you stay away from me."

"Embry, I love you and you love me. Shouldn't that be enough?"

"Not in this situation. Look you deserve a better life, not being tied here to La Push. And I'm sorry. But it's over. And I really mean over. Doesn't matter anymore."

He walked away from me. I watched the man that I loved leave and almost broke down in tears. I ran to the girls bathroom and looked myself inside a stall just crying and crying and crying.

I didn't want to come out. All I really wanted to do was crawl under a whole. Why was this happening to me? What had I done to deserve this? This type of pain.

I tried to walk out only to fall into door my arms just rested on the door so I wouldn't slump down. I just ended up crying some more. I was thankful that no one really ever came in here so I would be left alone for the most part.

It felt like eternity I was there and crying but it wasn't like I could just stop. The pain that I was feeling was just too much, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I wiped my face a little bit and collected myself together. I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go but on the way out of the bathroom I ran into Jacob.

"Sorry," I breathed weekly.

"Ah, it's okay Alexis. I wasn't paying any attention to- hey are you alright?" he asked. I mentally scolded myself for not getting myself together better.

"Yeah," I spoke weakly. "I'm fine. And sorry I bumped into you." I tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. It really hurt. It was okay though I didn't think he had meant to do it on purpose.

"What's wrong Alexis? Don't say nothing either I know something's wrong."

"I'm fine Jake."

"No your not!" he snapped at me.

What was Jake's problem? Why was he so interested in if I was okay or not. He never seemed to care before so why now? What should he give a shit for now?

"Look, I'm fine! Just leave me alone!"

"Not until you tell me what's wrong." by his voice I could tell he was serious. "Why do you care what's wrong with me?" I wondered.

"Because your my friend. Look I don't think what's happening to you is fare and I'm sorry. I have tried to get Embry to change his mind but he wont listen to anyone not even Sam."

I snorted, if anything was all Sam Uley's fault. But no to everyone in his little clique or whatever they were Sam was amazing. Sam was the answer to there problems and what not.

"Yeah, whatever. Look I just want you to leave me alone Jake. I just need to be alone. We can talk all you want later or something but right now just leave me alone, please?"

"I'll hold you to that."

"To what?"

"We can talk later," he wiped away another tear that came out of my eyes unwillingly and than snapped his head up to something that sounded like a growl.

I turned. Embry. And he didn't look very happy. "What's going on here?"

Jake replied, "Just talking to Alexis. What about you Em? You don't look so happy."

Embry growled at Jake and I let my eyes grow up before saying, "Bye Jake." and walking straight passing Embry. I looked Embry in the eyes and he was the first to break so I just walked away. Maybe I should do that if that's what he wants from me. I should just walk away.

I walked fast to where I had to go. It seemed that the day was going slow just to annoy me so when the bell rang to leave I was out of there. I went home, Mom went to work eventually and it was just Alexa and I.

Mom had called and informed me that her and Dad wouldn't be back until late and asked if I could get Alexa to bed, I told her no problem. I was kind of glad when Alexa had went to sleep early if I was being honest. I didn't mind having her, I loved her but I just needed some time to think about things.

So when the door rang downstairs I was pretty surprised someone was here, especially this late.

"Coming," I looked through the little peep whole and my mouth made an, O at who was standing there. "Jacob, um what are you doing here?"

"Collecting on that promise you made."

"What promise."

"We can talk later," he said coming in smiling. I sighed and closed the door before commenting, "Well I don't remember exactly promising."

"Are you going to go back on what you said?" he wondered seriously.

"No."

"Good, because we need to talk."

"About?" I questioned.

"About what's going on."

"Embry and I are over, I guess I just need to accept it. He doesn't want me anymore Jacob and I appreciate you being a friend and checking up on me and being nice and stuff, I really do, but it's over." that sounded weird me saying it and trying to believe it. After all that we had been through it was over?

"He still loves you." Jacob stated.

"I have a hard time believing that."

"It's true. Look I want to tell you but I can't exactly."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just...ugh. This is so fucked up you should be able to know, you are a part of us." he said raising his voice a little bit.

"Jacob what the hell are you talking about? And don't raise your voice so much Alexa is sleeping and I don't need her waking up."

"Sorry. It's just I can't come out with it fully and tell you."

"Okay." I thought for a couple of minutes. I really did want to know what was up. I did. A part of me thought I should stay out of it but Jacob said that I was a part of them.

"What do you mean when you said I'm a part of you guys?" I wondered.

"Your an im-, ugh no I can't say that. Um, this is so screwed up."

"Okay," I took in a deep breath. "Don't tell me then just talk to me around it. I think I might be able to figure it out."

Jacob nodded. "You know the legends of our tribe, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah. What about them?"

"Well it has a lot to do with that, the legends. Really it's all based around that. I never thought that they were true- crap. I probably shouldn't have said that but anyway it had a lot to do with one part of the legends especially."

"What's that?" I asked impatiently.

"Our ancestors, our descendants." the way he said descendants was like a key point to something. I made not of that in my head.

"Okay."

"That's all I can say for right now."

"But that's nothing."

"I know and I'm sorry. I have to go though."

"Does it have something to do with whatever you guys are hiding."

"Yeah."

"Can I ask you something really quick though?" there was something that had just came to though.

"What?"

"You said that 'you are a part of us' am I the only one? I mean not like you, Embry, Paul and Jared." he looked confused like he didn't know exactly what I was talking about. "Is Kim part of you guys too, Jared's Kim."

Realization snapped into Jacob and he nodded. "Yeah. She knows."

"So can't I ask her?"

"NO!" he snapped.

"Why?" I didn't understand why I couldn't talk to her about whatever it was that was going on.

"Because I don't want anyone to know about this conversation just a lot is going on. Look Alexis, just promise me you wont say anything. No one needs to know that I was here."

"Okay," I said weakly. "I promise but I want you to promise me something in return."

"What's that?"

"When I figure it out and I ask you, you will tell me if I'm right or not and you will let me do what I want with the information."

"I promise I will tell if you if your correct or not but that's about it. There are certain things that you will have to understand so you can't exactly do what you want when you find out."

"Fine. I'll take it for now."

"Alright, bye."

"Bye Jacob."

I got some information today. Now it was up to me to find out what was going on.
