Hey all. I'm dissappointed :(. Last chapter got one review. Have I really lost you all? I have over ten alerts... Can you guys please review? I promise to get the chapter up sooner! Oh yeah, I also have a new story up. But I won't let it compromise for this story.

Well that was definately a shock. "Jake...I can't exactly... Wern't we just...?"

"Listen, I want you with me. You need to be there."

"But... I'm a...and your people are ah..."

"I. Don't. Care."

"They. Do." I sighed and turned away. "Don't you understand? I could be killed any moment... They hate me. Everyone would notice something's wrong with me..."

"Nothing is wrong with you," he said through clenched teeth.

I shook my head. Why did he have to be naive? I looked at him. He's sure cute at being so though... Stop, argument, remember? "Not to you. But to them. They out number you. It doesn't matter what you think. I still don't understand why you have to go. None of this makes any sense at all. Jake, we're getting married! I can't get married in La Push! The Cullens couldn't come. Bethany and Anthony probably wouldn't be able to stand the smell! And, I am not letting Gabe come by himself! Why are you doing this to me?" I was about to cry...well, if possible.

He put a hand on my shoulder. "Jera..."

"Don't, you don't have anything to justify this with."

"Maybe I don't. To me this is right, though."

"Then, maybe we shouldn't be together." I know I was being stubborn, but desperate times call for desperate measures. This was definately a desperate time.

Even though I wasn't looking at him, I could feel his stare. "I need you to know..." he said gently. I squeezed my eyes closed. This could either make me or break me. "That I know you with all my heart, but I've made up my mind. I will be going whether or not you're coming with me."

"Well this sucks," I muttered out loud. He hoarsely chuckled.

"I'm not saying that we have to be there forever. Most of the people there don't know that the legends are true. It would be easier if they didn't need to know."

I was silent. "How long?"

Jacob sighed. That wasn't a good sign. "I donnu, a couple of month or so..."

"What about school? Dance? My friends? You realize that some people here are actually my friends, right?"

He waved his hand away, "School doesn't matter at all; you know that. Dance...well...I know you like it, but it's really not needed either. You have time to say good bye to your friends. You weren't banished," he said the last word darkly.

I wanted to shout at him. I told him to not get banished, but what does he do? He gets banished. He does it on his own. "Rollin?" I asked, knowing I was treading in dangerous waters. Looking up, I wasn't surprise to see his eyes cold.

"What about her?" A small shake started at his spine.

"Oh, no you don't, mister. You've been perfectly fine with your temper for the longest time. No way, you hear me? No way are you screwing up!"

He pointed his finger at me. "I'm always the one to screw up according to you."

"That's not true."

"Then why do you make it seem like that?"

"I make it seem like that when you fucking screw up!" I heard the car shut off outside. "Don't come in!" I shouted angrily.

"Why does Rollin have to be apart of this?"

"I don't know!" I replied sarcastically. "Maybe because you screwed up! You couldn't control your temper. And you bit that girl some five years ago. Then you had a romantic relationship with her. But, oh, what? She got banished. You didn't go after her. Instead you fall in love with me and move here. And so when the past comings knocking on the door like that, there's only one person's-"

The front door open. Bethany stuck her head in the door. Both Jacob and I were glaring at her. "Uh...sorry?" she tried.

"I thought I said not to come in."

"Well...ah...Gabe wanted to play with the dog." She stood there smiling. I continued to glare at her. "So...I guesss I'll get...him." A few seconds later, she was dragging Rocket by the collar out the door. It slammed shut and we were both quiet for a moment.

"Like I was saying..." Jacob started.

"No. I was the one talking. If the past comes back to bite us in the ass like that, then it is your fault!"

"Why?!"

"I told you why! Do you ever pay attention to anything I ever say?"

"Yes! Jera! Come with me to La Push!"

"How many questions are you going to ask me?"

"What?"

"First you ask me to marry you. Now this. What's next?"

"I don't mean to... When I asked you my dad was alive..." He trailed off and looked away. I eyed him. It wasn't grief in his face, at least, it wasn't the main...

"What did you do?" I asked, pretty sure I had the right idea.

He looked up at me. "My father just died!" I looked at him knowingly. "Ok! I told him! I called him up and told him that I was going to ask you to marry me. He was mad...told me that he hated me more than he had before. He said that I brought disgrace upon the tribe."

"You think you killed him?" He nodded. "And so you want to make it up to your people for what you did to their leader-esque person?" Another nod. I bit my bottem lip. "How is bringing me there gonna make things any better?"

"I don't know..." I sighed frustrated. Having to get out of this house, I picked up my keys. "Where are you going?" he asked, eyes wide.

"I need to think." I reached up and kissed him on the cheek. "Just let me think."

As I walked out the door, Jacob stopped me. "Jer?"

"Yeah."

"Don't think too hard," he said laughing a little. "We all know that sometimes it hurts your head."

"Ok, Jake," I responded, not amused. "I'll do that."

Boom! Over 1,000 words. Longer than the last 2 chapters. :D

Oh! And survey! See last chap 25, I started on the first chap of this story.

Do you think this will be a trilogy? (I already know. I'm wondering about you.)
