Last chapter: =o

"Come on Emily. Let's go to Jacob's house." She nodded and took Cynthia's and claries hands. They were inside totally oblivious to everything. We got in the car and I turned around to look at Cynthia. She was looking at Kim. A single tear fell from her eyes which led me to believe Cynthia understood more that anyone gave her credit.

Kim's P.O.V.

"Jared. I need Jared. Where's Jared?" I looked around and saw everyone staring at me. "What were they staring at? Sam was here. What was he doing here?" I thought to myself

He reached out to me but all of the sudden Sam wasn't Sam, he was Robert, I shrunk away from him. He was going to hurt me. I cried out and looked around. Suddenly Robert wasn't here, it was just the girls and Sam. I was so confused.

I saw Sam talking but I couldn't make out what he was saying. His lips moved but I couldn't hear anything. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Bella leave. "Where are you going?" I wanted to ask but no matter what, I couldn't say anything.

Soon Bella came back with a blanket. She handed it to Emily. Emily moved closer to me; it was like everything was going in slow motion. One second it was Emily, the next it was Jennifer.

I was about to cry but, I looked closely and I saw Emily again. I let my tears loose and held onto Emily. Emily was nice, kind, and most importantly nothing like Jennifer. Emily has a heart beat, Emily was motherly, and Emily was the only thing that I could trust right

I cried and cried. I just wanted Jared. I want… no… need Jared.

I didn't notice that I was speaking until Emily said in my ear "shh... Jared's coming, he's on his way. He's coming" her voice sounded sad. She shouldn't be sad.

I stayed like that for minutes maybe seconds until I heard a voice. A voice that brought comfort, safety, and love.

"Kim!" Jared yelled.

"Jared" I whispered in relief. Jared would protect me. I slowly let go of Emily and waited for Jared.

Warm arm were wrapped around me. I hid my head in Jared's chest and cried. All those months of misery and pain were coming back. My mind was replaying everything that happened. The beatings, the crying, the pleading, everything.

"Talk to me baby." Jared said. I shook my head and tried to stop crying.

"Kim." he pleaded. The wind around us picked up. Making my hair go wild.

"I am scared" I said after a while. He took my face in his hands and made me look at him.

"Why are you scared?" he asked looking in my eyes. I didn't answer; I just looked at him and shivered. I was cold well not literary but I felt empty and cold.

"Come on lets get you out of the cold." I didn't say anything as he picked me up and went to his car. He opened the door and put me inside; he ran all the way to the driver seat and started up the heat.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. Mentally I was scolding my self; I caused Jared unnecessary pain and hurt.

Lost in thought I didn't notice when we reached Jared's house. He opened his door and ran all the way to mine. He picked me up and ran into the house. I noticed no one was here.

We, well he walked all the way upstairs while I just stayed in his arms and whimpered.

Once we reached his room he set me on the bed and sat in front of me. "Okay Kim, what is wrong? I can't fix it if I don't know what is wrong. Please just tell me! Talk to me!" he pleaded. His eyes showed pain, sadness and more pain.

"I am cold." I whispered. He was about to get up but I stopped him "I am cold and scared. I keep seeing them; every time someone comes up to me I see them. Today when Sam tried to touch me I saw him, when Emily came close to me I saw her, I don't know what's real anymore." I told him as I wrapped my arms around myself.

"Kim you aren't in danger, I won't ever let them near you. I won't let anything hurt you." his voice had a promise in it. I tried to believe him but I had this feeling I couldn't shake away. Something bad was going to happen; something really bad.

"I know you won't" I said touching his warm face with my fingertips. He leaned into my touch and closed his eyes; he grabbed my hand with his own and gave it a gentle squeeze. He frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked him; I didn't like to see him frowning.

"You are too cold." He said "here move over." He took his shoes off and climbed into the bed. He spread his arms out and motioned for me to go to him. I uncurled myself and went over to Jared. He was warm and I was cold. He wrapped his arms around me and sighed into my hair.

I drew a shaky breath and willed myself to calm down "its okay, we're okay." He repeat

"I wonder if I will ever get past everything" I murmured, not wanting to break the comforting silence.

"I will help you. Everyone here will help you" suddenly he got on his elbows and looked at me, "how about we go somewhere this weekend? Just you and me?" he proposed.

I thought about it and it seemed like a good idea to me. "But where?" I asked him, he had this mischievous grin on his face and I automatically thought of all the things we could get into.

"One word baby; Vegas." He laughed at my expression; which I am sure it was confused and happy both at the same time. "You know, I've always wanted to go to Vegas and get drunk."

"It could be a good idea, a distraction of sorts, so it's settled this weekend we go to Vegas!" I squealed, forgetting everything. It felt good to be happy and worry free, I pushed all the fears and memory to the back of my head hoping to forget.

"Oh shit!" I exclaimed when I saw the time. It was 6:00 pm.

"What?" Jared had jumped and looked around for any danger.

"I am late! So, so, late! Jared!" I was screaming and running down stairs at the same time. Jared just followed me. I could tell he was alert, nervous, and confused.

"Kim! What is going on?" he asked once I stopped.

"Sorry for scaring you but I am late for a meeting. Can you come with me?" I asked his looking through my purse for keys and my wallet.

"Yea but where are we going?" he asked more calm

"Ahh! Do you have your keys? No time! I need you to drive to Seattle, I'll explain on the way." He didn't ask any questions just followed me to his car {pic on profile} and jumped inside.

Once we closed the doors we put on our seat belts and I said "step on it! We need to get there before 7:30." The tires squealed as we hit the road, we passed some of the pack and girls on out way, they looked surprised and confused, well, I couldn't blame them we were going over 90mph. I waved but they were soon out of sight.

"Okay now where are we going?" Jared asked once we got to the highway.

"We have to go meet a person in a restaurant called 'Agostino's Restaurant' it's Italian. I have a surprise for Emily and Sam." Jared didn't ask anything else he just focused on getting there.

************* ************** at the restaurant************ ***************

We got to Seattle by 7 and now we were entering the parking lot of the restaurant. I have to admit it was a very fancy place. We got out and I noticed that we weren't exactly dressed exactly for this restaurant but I didn't care. I was still wearing Jared's clothes and Jared was just wearing some blue jeans and a tight t-shirt. "Okay here we go." I said quietly.

I took Jared's hand and we went in. people were giving us weird looks but we didn't care. I reached the podium and a lady with bright red hair was there as a hostess. "Hello, welcome to Agostino's, do you have reservations?" I noticed she was looking only at Jared. I cleared my throat and snapped my fingers in front of her.

She snapped out of her daze and glared at me. I gave her a sweet innocent smile and said in a baby voice "we are here to meet Mr. Ortega" she rolled her eyes at me but looked down at her paper. "Ah yes, Ms. Crownwell and who is this?" she motioned to Jared. I cleared my throat and said "that is none of you concern… can you just please lead us to Mr. Ortega?" I hated when people flirt with Jared. It annoyed me.

The hostess just huffed and led us to a table where a man was sitting drinking some whine. "Thank you." I said just to tick her off. Once she went away Jared squeezed my hand. "Hey are you alright?" he asked trying to repress laughter. "Yea. Don't you dare laugh at me" I warned him. He cleared his throat and said "wouldn't dream of it." DAMN HIM! He had always found it funny that I would get jealous.

We walked over to the table and sat down. "So this is the famous Ms. Crownwell?" the man said. "Just Kim. And this is my boyfriend Jared." I said while smiling. "What a pleasure to meet you both. Please call me Charles." We shook hands. "Would you like anything to eat?" before we could respond he called over a waitress. "Just some water, thank you" I said and Jared ordered some root beer.

I looked around and noticed that this place was really old. They had very old pictures and objects around; the room was only lit by candles. Once we got our drinks I took a sip and cleared my throat. "Well, what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?" Charles said before I could say anything. "Well, I've heard you build houses, correct?" he nodded.

"How fast can you get a house done?" I sensed Jared looking at me but I just looked at Charles. "It depends on how big the house is, and mostly the weather." Charles said after a while of thinking about it. "Well the house should be pretty big, it has to have a big kitchen, lots of space. This house is going to be a gift for someone very close to me," "Well we would have to make a sketch of the house, contract workers, buy materials, decide on many things, if the house is like a mansion then it should be done in almost 10-16 weeks…."

We talked for 3 hours deciding on things, like money, size, blueprints, Jared was commenting on things once in a while. "Well this should be easy. Why don't you come down to my office so we can finalize everything and work on a schedule." Charles said after he put everything away. He had brought mostly everything we would need.

"That should be fine just call me on when we can come down and we'll be there." I said, we stood up and shook hands "It was a pleasure meeting you both; I hope to see you soon." He said and gave us his card. "Thank you." we said good bye and left the restaurant. It was slightly chilly outside so Jared wrapped his arm around me to keep me warm. "Why didn't you tell me anything about this?" Jared asked once we got in the car. "I couldn't because everyone would listen.

I had to make up a lie to get away for a little while and make the appointment. Then with the whole incident in the afternoon it was impossible for me to inform you. I am sorry." Mentally I shuddered by just remembering the fear and confusion I felt this afternoon. "It's okay, don't feel bad. I was just wondering." He said while smiling softly at me.

Then he changed the subject. "When should we tell them that we are going to Vegas?" damn! I could already hear Annie's scream. "I don't know. But we could always not tell them and send them an email when we are in Vegas." I said hoping he might for once agree with me. But sadly he just laughed and shook his head at me. "Not this time, babe. We are going to have to tell them, besides I have to patrol today at 3 so its not like they wont see it in my mind." Okay, the whole I-can-read-you-mind-whenever-I-turn-into-a-big-furry-wolf-thing is getting on my nerves. That's why I would hate having to be a wolf. There is no privacy, everyone can just read what's on you mind.
I wonder how Jared stands it.

Anyway, I pouted and sighed. "Well this sucks." I said. "Why are you so hesitant on telling them?" Jared asked curiously. I looked out the window and saw trees and cars; I hadn't even noticed we had been leaving until now. "Well, for starters, I can already hear Annie letting out a big squeal, and I could see the girl's reactions, also they might think we are going to get married if we get wasted. Bree and rose have a big imagination." I told him as a matter of fact. "You know I would of never thought my life would be this crazy" he said in a tone that kind of sounded kind of surprised but happy at the same time. "What do you mean?" I hope he wasn't getting sick of me. Concern washed through me. I had possible theories on what he meant in my head.

I went rigid but slowly calmed down. "Well 3 years ago if someone would have told me that I would of turned into a wolf, imprinted on the most beautiful person on earth and that 3 of my pack brothers would be having little cubs, I would have sent them to a mental hospital. My life has taken twist and turns that I would have never expected, but I am happy that everything has happened the way it has." I smiled and thought the same thing; my life has been shit before I met Jared. I would have smacked or even killed someone if they told me that my life was going to be pain free. "Your right but I am glad I met you, I love you and I hope that never changes." I told him as I stroked his arm.

"As I love you" I would be crying if I had not seen the best sign ever. "Jared can we stop at Dunking Doughnuts?" in return he just laughed and pulled over. I got out the car and practically ran inside. Jared followed at his own pace which was too slow for me. I was jumping in frustration. "Jaredddd" I whined, the guy at the register snickered. "Come onnnnn!" Jared laughed but hurried.

"Hello my name is Timmy how can I help you?" he asked both of us. Timmy was cute; he was white with blonde hair and bright green eyes. He looked like a little kid in a teenage body. "Hey I am Kim, and this is Jared. Can we have a dozen of chocolate glazed doughnuts?" I asked but then I heard Jared's stomach growl. "Make that 2 dozens." I looked at Jared and he just smiled. "No problem, anything else?" Timmy asked "Hmm… well can I have cappuccino? And what would you like Jared?" I asked while looking up at the menu "Just a black coffee." He said while making a noise and grumbling about milk not being good enough for coffee.

"So 2 dozen of chocolate glazed doughnuts and 1 cappuccino and a black coffee?" Timmy rounded it up. And I nodded. "Coming right up." I took out my wallet but Jared beat me to it. He took out his credit card and paid before I could even argue. He saw the look I was giving me and said "as long as you're with me you won't have to pay for anything." I huffed but thanked him.

We didn't have to wait long but we did talk with Timmy for a little while. We asked him where he went to school and if he liked working in dunking doughnuts. When we got our order Timmy said "nice meeting you too, I hope to see you soon." We smiled and said goodbye. We walked outside and I was just too busy thinking about the doughnuts I was holding to notice the puddle of water. Once I stepped on it I cursed like a sailor. "Well shit! This sucks ass!" I said while Jared just laughed a little and lifted me up in his arms. I squealed. "Jared! Put me down!" I shrieked "Nope sorry babe, you are going to hurt yourself if I don't carry you so I won't take any chances." He all but said. I just gave him a look that said 'that-didn't-even-make-sense!'

"That didn't make any sense!" I said to him when we reached the car.

"Of course it didn't" I hated when he did that. He got me all confused and grumpy by wondering what he meant.

"Just come on lets get home." I got in the car and jumped when Jared was beside me. He was sometimes too slow but then he would also be too fast. I laughed at myself and took out a doughnut.

I held it up like treasure. Jared was looking at me with amusement in his eyes. I swear I could hear bells ringing in the background. He started the car and eased into the highway. Before I knew it I had already finished 4 doughnuts.

We stepped out of the car and I was still eating a doughnut. I laughed when Jared slammed his head on the top of the car.

I walked up to the house and opened it. I wasn't surprised that it wasn't locked. No one in Lapush ever used locks.

I got inside and I looked back outside to wait for Jared. Suddenly the lights turned on and I froze, very slowly I turned around and saw the pack and Annie in front of me.

No one said anything until Annie said "how is it that you still look like a 6 year old when you eat doughnuts?" I straightened back and relaxed. I just chuckled at Annie; ever since I was little I always got messy when I ate doughnuts. I am pretty sure I had chocolate all over my face.

"Hehehe" I chuckled nervously I swallowed and just offered a doughnut to Annie. She laughed and took it only saying "if I get fatter than I already am I will kill you."

"You would have to catch me for that." I grinned at her and she narrowed her eyes

"One day Kim, one day." Was all she said before she sat down in the couch.
