Within ten hours I was in Forks driving up the driveway. I got out in front of the house and walked in. The whole pack, and their mates were in there.

"Hi." Jacob said and Matthew bit his lip nervously.

"I have something for you." I said emotionlessly and took the divorce papers and a pen out of my bag. I handed them to him.

"What?" He asked reading them quickly.

"I'm sorry." I said. "Can we just get this over with?" I asked choking back tears. I was hurting him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Can we talk about this later, alone?" I asked. "We still need to talk about Jamie." I sighed.

"I'm not signing this until we talk." He refused.

"Okay." I said quietly.

"How many people knew?" He asked. "How long have you known you were going to make this decision?" He asked.

"Michael found out, I told Salicia, and she let it slip to Matthew. I knew when I left, that's when I got the divorce papers, but I was trying to change my mind, I tried my best to think of reasons to change my mind, but I couldn't think of any that benefited me." I said and a tear trailed down my cheek.

"What will we do about Jamie?" He asked.

"I think that he should live with me until he's old enough that he's off breast milk, and he can take care of himself at least for a couple hours, because when he was here and I was working he was often with a babysitter instead of his parents." I told him.

"But he'll be around a lot of killers with you." Jacob replied icily.

"He'll be with his siblings, mom, and my family." I told him.

"And Michael." Jacob muttered.

"What's your problem? I know I'm being a bitch right now, but you're acting like an ass. If you're trying to get me to change my mind it isn't happening. This decision wasn't because I don't love you, I do, but more like I love Matthew than how I love Michael, like family, not romantically, I tried to tell myself that I loved you like a husband, but it was more like a brother." I said going from cold to almost crying.

"How come you didn't realize this before?" Jacob asked.

"Because I didn't have sex with Michael before just recently." I said angrily. "That was the big thing that made me leave you, because I didn't say no when he kissed me, I didn't even think twice. I've never stopped loving him, and you knew that." I said. "This shouldn't be that much of a surprise." I said trying to make myself feel better. I started crying. "I have to go." I said and started out. Jacob grabbed my shoulder keeping me from leaving.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Because I'm being mean." I replied.

"So what?" He asked. "You're mean a lot of times. Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Because I've never hurt you like I'm sure I am. Like I said, I do love you, I care about you, just not in the way I tried to think I did." I said and my phone buzzed. I checked it, and put it away.

"Aren't you going to answer?" He asked.

"If it's important he'll call again." I sighed and right when it stopped buzzing it was only still for about twenty seconds, then it started again. "Sorry." I said and answered it. "Hello." I sighed.

"Salicia's gone." Michael said tensely and I almost fell Jacob caught me.

"What?" I half shrieked.

"She went to the bathroom and she was gone for quite a while so I went to check, she'd ran off somewhere. I don't know where, I tried to listen, but she learned how to block me out somehow. I can't hear." He said and he got even tenser the more he spoke.

"You don't know where she is?" I asked and started crying.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"You're sorry, just find her, she's not very fast, she couldn't have gotten far, right?" I asked trying to reassure myself.

"She left about two hours ago, I didn't want to bother you." He said, I closed my phone, collapsed into Jacob's chest, and my phone fell to the floor.

"What's wrong?" Jacob asked.

"Salicia ran away. Michael can't find her. She learned how to block him out." I said through sobs.

"Salicia's gone?" Matthew asked. "How long?" He added.

"Michael said two hours. He didn't want to bother me, he thought he could find her." I said and curled into a ball. "She could already be in California depending on where she's headed." I said crying even harder. My phone buzzed again. I grabbed it and answered it.

"Mom, I'm fine." Salicia said.

"What the Hell were you thinking? Where the Hell are you? What are you even doing? Did you even consider I have better things to deal with than finding you today?" I said getting even more fired up.

"I was tired of Tanya. I'm at a beach. I'm trying not to get another headache. Yes, and I didn't care." She replied with an attitude.

"I don't care if you don't like her, I don't either, but you don't just run off whenever you please, and you better get somewhere, Michael's, Jacob's, or your grandparent's, I don't want to deal with your attitude either. Do you know how worried I was about you because you decided you didn't like Tanya?" I asked. "I'm sitting on the floor like a child. Get your ass home, and stay there, you're grounded." I told her.

"Where is my home?" She asked. "You're divorcing Jacob, I don't want to live anywhere near Tanya, mom, isn't there some other choice besides Jacob or Tanya?" She asked.

"Just get back to Alaska and we'll talk later." I said sadly.

"What part of Alaska?" She asked.

"Either in the house with your father, or within fifty feet of the house." I sighed.

"Okay." She replied and hung up.

"Your daughter is a teenager with an attitude." Matthew said jokingly.

"I don't have time for this Matthew." I replied. "I have to get all this divorcing stuff straightened out, talk to my daughter, go to my mom and dad's house so I can tell them what's going on, and then try to get my life back to normal." I sighed.

"Why'd Salicia run off exactly?" Matthew asked.

"She didn't like Tanya." I sighed.

"Like father like daughter." Matthew muttered.

"Jacob, how about we talk about this somewhere without everyone watching me act like an idiot?" I asked trying to smile.

"Okay." He said and helped me up. He led me outside and we started toward something. He led me over to the house I grew up in and we went in. It was the same. "Jamie." He sighed.

"I think we should give him a choice once he's older, but until he can decide, have him live with me, and then visit you as often as possible." I told him.

"First, are you sure about this?" Jacob asked.

"Yes." I sighed.

"Okay." Jacob said and put the papers on the table. He signed them and handed them to me. "Wanna stay friends?" He requested.

"Sure." I said and hugged him.

"Okay, so how about Jamie stays with me until you have living arrangements straightened out, and then Jamie goes to live with you?" He asked.

"You're surprisingly agreeable." I said. "Okay." I sighed.

"Go home." He told me.

"I don't have a home yet, I still need to figure that out." I sighed.

"Okay, well, go back to Alaska, and then figure homes out." He said.

"Okay." I sighed. I hugged him even tighter and then pulled back. "Bye." I said and left. I drove home, and went inside. Michael and I went upstairs to talk.

"Are you getting divorced?" He asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"How about we move into a house close to your parents so the kids have family?" He suggested.

"What about the Denali?" I asked.

"I talked to them and Salicia, they all say that it's fine." He told me.

"Okay. We'll do it." I sighed.

A year later we were living by my family, I had all the kids, and Jacob visited every other weekend. It all sort of worked out.

Michael and I got remarried.

The End

(or is it?)

One final review pretty please? I have enjoyed writing for you.
