A/N – Enjoy. :)

There was a moment of awkward silence.

"Well," Emmett said, standing up, "I'll leave you two crazy kids alone."

Even after Emmett left, there was still an awkward silence. Seth was the first to break it.

"I'm sorry," He seemed sincere, "I'm really, really sorry."

I tapped the chair that Emmett had just left, telling him to come and sit. He sat down, and I just looked at him.

"Please don't be upset. You know I love you," I didn't respond. "Jillian, talk to me!"

"I don't really know what to say," I said, carefully not looking him in the eye.

"Just say you love me," He said, trying to catch my eye.

"I do," I said, dodging his eyes, "You know I do."

"And that you forgive me?" Seth looked hopeful, and for the first time, I looked him in the eyes.

"I'm not sure if I can."

At this point, I immediately regretted looking in his eyes, because they became so filled with hurt, it was hard for me to look at.

"Seth, this probably sounds really selfish, but I needed you with me." I was looking down at my hands again. "It's hard to breathe when you're gone, and it's just hard to be… happy. And it's obvious that Emily and Sam are so in love. And Jared can hardly be away from Kim for more than ten minutes. And Quil is just so… empty when he's not with Clare. But you could just leave me, without a second thought, it just makes me wonder, is what we have… real?"

"If what we have isn't real," Seth said sadly, "Then I don't know what is. And I know I shouldn't have left. If I could take it back, trust me, I would in a heartbeat. You've been on my mind this whole time."

"But, why, Seth?" I could feel tears forming in my eyes, threatening to pour out, "Why did you leave?"

"Sam was taking away all my rights, I was so pissed off," he did sound a little angry even just talking about the moment, "And when Jacob broke away, I took the opportunity to leave Sam. I didn't think we'd be gone for so long, I thought I'd be able to see you again right away!" I know that this had been what everybody was telling me all along, but it seemed sincere when Seth spoke it, so I believed it.

"So you don't want to break up?" I asked, looking back up at him.

"What?" Seth looked honestly confused. "No! Where did you get that idea? I never, ever would want to break up with you! At all!"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good," I said, standing up and giving him a peck on his lips. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too!"

"Want to go and meet the Cullens?" He asked, taking my hand.

"Uh, suure." I said, giving a fake smile.

"Yeah, I know you don't really want to," Seth laughed, "But Alice really wants to meet you."

I laughed as he pulled me out to the Living Room where all of the Cullens were huddled around Bella.

"Hey, everyone, this is-"

"Shhhh!" The psycho blonde, Rosalie, shushed rudely.

"He really does love you, Bella," Edward was looking at Bella's stomach intently with a soft smile on his face.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Seth, but he looked just as confused as I was.

"I can hear the baby's thoughts now," Edward said, "It's really quite amazing. Anyways, Seth, you were going to introduce someone?"

"Oh, yeah," Seth grinned at me, "Some of you might have already met her, but this is my girlfriend, Jillian."

"Yeah, she's a feisty one, Seth!" Emmett said, putting his arm around Rosalie. Which made me sick, he was so nice, and she was so… bitchy. "Reminds me a lot of Rose."

I raised my eyebrows. Well, maybe we did have similar personalities, now that I think about it…

"Rose and Jillian didn't get off to a good start," Esme said kindly.

"Sorry I wasn't eager to let the dog toy inside our house," Rosalie mumbled, throwing me a glare.

"What's foreplay for a blonde?" I asked with a pleasant smirk.

"Just hit me with the stupid punch line."

"Thirty minutes of begging," I smirked as the rest of the room laughed.

Even Rosalie was laughing.

"Alright, I'll give you credit for that one," she said, smiling, "It was ten times better than any of Jacob's."

So Jacob makes blonde jokes, too, huh? Well, it's good to know mine are better.

"So you're Jillian?" The short, spiky haired vampire came forward. "I'm Alice! I know that we'll be such good friends! I mean, even Rose approves of you!" She let out a tinkling laugh. "You will stay for dinner, won't you, Jillian?"

"I wish I could," I was being honest, I wanted more time with Seth, "But, I have to be home very soon, I'm not exactly supposed to be here."

"When do you have to leave?" Seth asked, looking sad.

"Um," I looked at a clock that read 2 o'clock, and Embry and Quil said I should be back at three by the latest and it took about forty five minutes to walk home, "Now-ish."

"I'll walk you to the border," Seth said sadly, and the two of us made our way slowly to the borderline.

A/N – Okay, so in the last chapter, I made a mistake. I said Jacob was sleeping, when he was in fact out talking to that red head girl. I made the mistake of not having my book open while writing that chapter, so yeah. Sorry!

ANYWAYS, I hope you liked the chapter! :)

Be sure to leave a review, they brighten up my day!
