AN: I do not own Supernatural or Twilight.

Life in all its Glory

Megan's POV

Much to my relief it was Spring Break and we had no school for two weeks. I could definitely use some time to relax and think.

I lay down in my bed and realized how bored I was. I needed a case. I needed my family.

Since I couldn't have either of those I would have to make do. That Cullen kid wasn't exactly a case but at least it's interesting.

That reminded me that I never got around to asking Jacob about him, so I took off. I automatically checked the garage first and found him there, but he wasn't alone. There was a girl with him and one look at Jacob's face told me that this was Bella Swan.

"Hey Jacob, I didn't realize you had company" I said, letting the anger seep into my voice.

"Megan this is Bella. Bella this is Megan" he said, oblivious to my abhorrence to her.

She awkwardly stuck her hand out and mumbled, "It's nice to meet you."

I shook her hand and replied coldly, "a pleasure I'm sure." I fixed my eyes directly on hers and she seemed to cower away from me. I smiled inwardly. If Jacob wasn't busy working on his motorcycle he would notice me giving her the cold shoulder.

I stood at the doorway of the garage, crossed my arms and stared at Bella, making it clear that she wasn't welcome here, not in my presence at least. She seemed to get the hint because she said, "I should be going Jacob. Edward will be here any minute." Edward must be the guy she ditched Jacob for. The urge to slap her was almost uncontrollable.

"I'll go with you" Jacob said.

"I'll come too" I said, wanting to make her feel as uncomfortable as possible.

"It's okay Megan you don't have to-"Jacob started.

"No. I want to."

So we all walked in silence to the front of the reservation where her boyfriend's car must be waiting. Honestly we only walked four blocks and she tripped five times. What an insult to womankind you are, I think. Her boyfriend was leaning on the hood of the car when I saw him. I froze up instantly. Bella's boyfriend was the Cullen kid. Edward Cullen, it must be, the one who set off my hunter's intuition. He was looking right into my eyes again, making me feel exposed. Of course it figures that he is Bella's boyfriend. Maybe he will kill her, I think hopefully. Then I have to remind myself that killing is not good, even in this case.

"It was nice to meet you Megan" Bella said, breaking me out of my trance.

I force a small smile and she leaves. I watch as the car drives off and I can finally breathe again. Jacob nudged me and I almost fell over. He laughed and said, "Come on, let's go." We walked back to his garage then he finally spoke again. "So, I think that went well" he said, laying on the sarcasm.

"Really Jake? Really?" I asked skeptically.

"What?" he asked confused.

"Why do you like her?"

"What do you mean?" he replied, defensively.

"What is there to like about her?" I asked, exasperated. "She's clumsy, stupid, ugly, oh and of course extremely eloquent."

"Just shut up, you don't know her" he says.

"Like there's anything to get to know, she's as transparent as glass Jacob. She's completely selfish, clueless-"

"Look you wouldn't understand because you're a selfish bitch. You think you're better than everyone else, but you're not!" he spat out.

I'm taken aback, is this what he really thinks of me?

I can tell by the look on his face that he already regrets what he said, but it's too late.

"And the hits just keep on coming" I mumbled.

"I'm so sorry Megan. I didn't mean what I said."

"Yes you did" I replied sadly looking into his eyes, "and I thought you were my friend."

I left before anything else could be said because honestly I didn't want to hear it. It's only the second day I've even ever heard of Bella and she's already tearing our friendship apart.

"Wait!" I hear someone call. I turn around and of course it's Jacob.

"I'm sorry Megan. I had no right to call you those things. They weren't true, I swear. I was just so angry about you attacking Bella that I lashed out" he told me.

I think it over for a minute and said, "I guess if a guy liked me I would want him to defend me too. So I forgive you, this time."

"Thank you" he said, as he moved in for a hug. I put my hand up though. "No hugs yet" I say.

"Hit me. It will make you feel better, I promise" Jacob said.

"Only if you promise to hit me back" I counter, wanting to even out the balance.

He mulls it over for a second then says, "Okay."

I hit him as hard as I can in the stomach not wanting to give him a bloody nose by punching him in the face. He lets out a small huff and curls in on himself, this pleased me.

"Nice hit" he smiled, "now it's my turn."

I'm all prepared for him to hit me when he throws me over his shoulder.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I yelled.

"You didn't actually expect me to hit a girl did you? I'll just have to improvise" he said.

He started walking toward the beach, and as I finally realized what he was doing it was too late. He threw me into the water and I squealed, but I really don't mind. "Feel better?" I ask, pretending to be irritated. "A lot" he says. I give up my façade and laugh. I splash Jacob and we have a water fight. We walk back to his house to dry off because we're completely soaked.

We're almost there when Paul walks towards us, going to see Jared I guess. He looks at me and says, "Nice look Megan, but to improve it I would take your bra off." I go to hit him but he expects it and grabs my arm, pulling me closer to him. "You know I kind of like this situation: you and I together, and you wet" he smirks.

"You're disgusting, you know that?" I reply.

"You know you love it babe" he whispers in my ear. Then he looks up at Jacob and kisses my neck. "See you later" he says, walking off.

"Sorry about that" I said.

"That guy's a jerk."

"Tell me about it" I smiled.

"Are you two together now?" he asks, his eyes boring into mine.

"No" I replied, "and why would you care?"

"It's just that you would have to be an idiot to be with him. I mean he's so arrogant, dumb, possessive and-"

"Jacob" I tease, "now don't you go insulting my guy."

"He's your guy?" he asks, quickly.

"No!" I huff.

"Good" he snipes.

"He really does have a good side Jake, you just can't see it."

"Or maybe he just doesn't have one" he grumbled.

"Then Bella doesn't have one either" I countered, making him shut up.

"Come on let's go dry off" Jacob said, trying to keep the peace.

We got to his house, went inside and found Billy talking on the phone. He smiled at us and Jacob grabbed two towels from the bathroom to dry us off. After we were moderately dry we went into the living room, Jacob popped in a movie and we sat down on the couch. After awhile I rested my head on his chest and he put his arm around me. Not long after I drifted into a wonderful and peaceful sleep.

I opened my eyes and saw the sun illuminating the room through the window. I looked up and saw Jacob. Jacob! "Shit" I mumbled. I must have slept all night here. What would Jared think?

I got up as quietly as I could, not wanting to wake Jacob. I walked down the hallway to the front door but heard Billy call my name. I turned around, went into the kitchen and found him at the table.

"Good morning Billy. I'm sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep here. Nothing happened I swear" I half-whispered.

"I know sweetheart and you're welcome here anytime. I hope you know that" he said.

He has such a level-head, you're so lucky Jacob, I think.

"I want you to know that Jared called last night. I convinced him to let you stay here since you were already asleep but he didn't seem too happy" he told me.

"Of course not" I mumbled.

He smiled at me. "Jacob will walk you home."

"No, that's not necessary-"

"Jacob!" Billy yelled.

I hear him wake with a start and respond "yeah?"

"Come in here."

He walked into the kitchen saw me and looked surprised. "Did we-"

"Fall asleep on the couch? Yeah" I answered.

"Jacob you'll walk Megan home" Billy said.

"Yeah sure" he perked up.

"Let's go" I said, "goodbye Billy, thank you."

"Sure thing Megan" he smiled.

We started down the sidewalk when I said, "I can't believe we both fell asleep. Jared is going to kill me."

"Well I don't think he would kill you but you're definitely gonna get it" Jacob smirked.

"Hey! He knows I spent the night at your house so I wouldn't be so happy if I were you" replied.

"What are you trying to get me killed?" he asked.

"You're dad told him, not me."

"Goddamn it" he muttered.

I stopped about a block from my house and said, "go home Jake. I really don't want to see Jared rip your head off right now."

"Alright" he said. He hugged me and said goodbye, leaving me all alone.

I took a deep breath and walked up to the door. If this happened at home I guarantee that I would be grounded for a year and my whole family would pitch in to beat the crap out of Jacob. I opened up the door, walked inside and found that I wasn't ambushed. That's a good sign, I think. Or is it?

"Finally!" Jared huffed, coming out of the kitchen. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine Jared" I responded, his question catching me off-guard.

"Good, now I can move on to other things. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I didn't mean to spend the night. Jacob and I were watching a movie and we fell asleep" I answered, trying to defend myself even though I knew I screwed up.

"Oh, there's the other thing! Not only did you not come home, you spent the night with Jacob!"

"It's not what you think Jared, honestly. We just fell asleep on the couch, nothing happened!"

"Put yourself in my shoes Megan. It's late and your not home yet. Then I call around trying to find you, only to find out that you're sleeping at Jacob's house. What am I supposed to think?" he yelled.

"You're supposed to trust me!" I countered. "If you had a brother Jared, and he didn't come home and you found out he spent the night at a girl's house you wouldn't be nearly as mad, would you?"

He hesitates for a moment and I know I have him right where I want him. "It's not the same" he finally answers.

"Why?" I asked angrily, "Because I'm a girl?"

"Yes" he responded.

"I can't believe this!" I screeched, "That's such a ridiculous double-standard! So I can't hang out with any of my guy friends, but you can hang out with your girl friends. Is that right?"

"No, you can hang out with your guy friends Megan; you just can't spend the night with them."

"That's not fair Jared" I said.

"If I spent the night with Kim my parents would freak out."

"But you and Kim are dating. Jacob and I are just friends" I told him.

"I don't care you still can't—"

"Hey! What's going on down here?" a voice bellowed from upstairs. Uncle Adam was coming downstairs and looking at both of us.

"I don't know if you noticed but Megan didn't come home last night" Jared piped up. You asshole, I think.

"I did notice" he responded calmly. That surprised me; I didn't think he would be so okay with it.

"She spent the night at Jacob Black's house!" Jared yelled out.

"Did you have a good time?" Uncle Adam asked me.

"Yes" I manage to get out, even though I'm almost stunned to death.

"Good, but next time it would be nice if you let us know."

"Sure, no problem" I responded.

"Is that it?" Jared scoffs, "No punishment? Just let us know next time? Like there's gonna be a next time. I'm not gonna let there be a next time!"

"Calm down Jared" Uncle Adam said, "I think you know perfectly well that no one can control teenagers. There's an old saying: the tighter you hold the reins, the easier it is for them to break free, but if you loosen the reins they'll get along alright." After that he went upstairs, leaving Jared dumbfounded.

I tried to sneak upstairs while Jared was in his stupor, but no such luck. "Megan wait" he growled, grabbing my arm. "My dad may have let you off easy, but I'm not going to. I told you stay away from Jacob and then you spend the night at his house. I can't believe you would do that."

"I didn't do it to spite you Jared, it just happened" I sighed.

"Well it better not happen again" he ordered.

At that moment it was like all the anger in my body rose up and exploded. "You don't have a say in my life Jared. I'll sleep at anyone's house I like, and have sex with anyone I like, and you can't stop me!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"Well we'll just see about that" he yelled.

"Yeah I guess we will!" I shouted, going upstairs and slamming the door. God, sometimes it seems like all I do is fight with Jared. I'm so sick of it, but I have a feeling that this fight is going to last for a while.
