CHAPTER 1

Have you ever had one of those days? You know the kind where everything that can go wrong does. And just when you think it can't get any worse it does. Well for Lexi James it was one of those days. The day started off bad when she slept through her alarm and was late getting up for work. Of course her fiance was asleep next to her and turned the alarm off and didn't bother waking her up. She was in such a hurry to get downstairs and out of the house she fell down the stairs and hurt her ankle. When she finally got to her car and started it she realized she might have enough gas to get to the gas station. When she did get to the gas station and filled her car up she realized she was going to be late for work, which she was and of course she got in trouble. After her boss finished yelling at her about responsibility, a good work ethic and being on time, of course this being the first time she was ever late since she worked here. She made her way to her desk and some idiot bumped into her and spilled his hot coffee all over her. By the time she got to her desk it was 10:00 and she already wished this day was over. She turned her computer on and went to work, she got halfway through her work and her computer crashed before she saved her work so she had to start all over. She felt like banging her head against her desk, wishing it was time to quit and go home to her boyfriend/fiance, Sawyer.

She had met Sawyer in high school and the two of them dated off and on throughout high school. Sawyer was very attractive he had dark hair and bright blue eyes and was the type of guy that girls stared at and turned around to look at as he walked by. His family was also very wealthy, so Sawyer hated that Lexi insisted working, he didn't want her to work since he had enough money to take care of both of them. He was always buying her expensive jewelry, that was gorgeous yes but was way to extravagant for her. Not long after graduation the two of them moved into a house together in Seattle and things were great. Three months after graduation Sawyer asked Lexi to marry him and gave her a beautiful princess cut engagement ring with a huge diamond that weighed her finger down and made all her friends jealous. Sawyer didn't seem to get she didn't need huge diamonds and expensive things to make her happy because she was already happy with him. They would be getting married in a month now and Lexi couldn't wait to marry him and spend her life with him. Lexi finally looked back up at her computer, ran her hands through her light brown hair and took a deep breath and started everything over again.

When it was finally quitting time Lexi ran out to her green Mustang Convertible and started it and drove as fast as she could home to her future husband. After parking her car Lexi gathered her purse from her car and made her way into her house. She walked in and laid her purse on the counter and went to find Sawyer. She started with the bedroom, she walked up the stairs and she opened the door and wasn't prepared for what she saw. She saw her fiance naked in their bed with a blonde woman moving up and down on top of him. She swore her heart stopped beating when she saw them. She saw Sawyer run his hands over the girls body as he moaned and her eyes filled with tears. She shook her head and finally found her voice.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" she yelled and she saw both of them stop.

"Lexi," Sawyer said and he pushed the girl off of him. "Lexi please its not what you think."

"Well I don't see how it can be anything other than my fiance fucking some other woman!" she said angrily.

"Lexi I…" he began and she shook her head and walked over to the closet and drug a suitcase out and threw it on the bed. The girl he was fucking had to jump back falling off the bed and onto the floor to avoid being hit by the suitcase.

"Lexi what are you doing?" Sawyer asked.

"I'm leaving you," she told him and she glanced over at the naked girl on the floor. "Maybe you should get dressed and leave," she told her and the girl jumped up and grabbed her clothes and ran out. Sawyer got out of bed and slipped on his jeans as Lexi grabbed clothes from the closet and put them in her bag.

"Lexi," Sawyer said. "It won't happen again."

"How many times before today?" she asked.

"Lexi I….it doesn't matter."

"You're right it doesn't," she sighed. "I'm not going to marry a man that cheats on me even once." she told him and she continued throwing clothes in her suitcase and grabbed another bag and started putting clothes in it to.

"Lexi please don't leave me," he pleaded as she drug her suitcase to the living room and then drug everything else she had packed there. She began taking her bags to her car and when she had put all of them in there she saw Sawyer standing in living room.

"Please marry me," he pleaded. "I'm sorry I cheated on you Lexi, I do love you."

"Well you have a really funny way of showing it." she told him. "You were fucking another girl in our bed, in our home," she said angrily. You let me oversleep on purpose this morning didn't you?"

"Alexandria," he said. "What if I did?" he asked. "You don't have to work."

"I like to work Sawyer," she told him. "I can't trust you anymore, you've proven that today." she told him and he took a step towards her and reached out to touch. "Don't you dare touch me," she fumed. "Do not touch me," she said angrily and she pulled the overly huge, expensive engagement ring off her finger. "I don't need this anymore," she said and threw it at him. "We're done," she said and stormed out slamming the door behind her.

Lexi slid behind the wheel of her car and started it and drove away from her house. She had no idea where she was going, some hotel she guessed until she figured out what to do. She decided to just drive around a little before finding a hotel for the night, get her thoughts together. She couldn't believe Sawyer had been cheating on her. Who knows how long or how many other women he'd fucked in their bed before today. Lexi shook her head as she continued to drive, when her car started making a funny noise and not driving right. She shook her head and pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off. Could this day get any worse. Apparently so because it started to rain.

"Damn," she cursed as she hit the steering wheel and the tears she had been holding back all day finally fell down her cheeks.

Jacob Black was driving home from visiting Bella when he passed by a green mustang convertible pulled off on the side of the road he slowed down and looked over and he could make out a girl with her head laying on the steering wheel through the rain, he could hear her sobs as well. He pulled over behind her and got out and walked over to the passenger side of the car and knocked on her window. Jacob saw her jump startled and she rolled the window down a little.

"Hi," Jacob said.

"Hi," Lexi replied.

"I'm Jake, I was on my way home and I saw you pulled over," he said. "You need some help?" he asked as he glanced in her car and saw the backseat was full of bags.

"Actually I do need help," she whispered and tears started to fall down her cheeks again.

"Please don't cry," he said softly "I bet I can fix whatever is wrong with your car." he told her. "I'm good at fixing cars."

"Ok."

"Just pop the hood and let me have a look ok," he told her.

"Ok," she told him and popped the hood and then grabbed a flashlight from the floorboard and a umbrella and got out, the least she could do was hold a flashlight for him and an umbrella. She got out of the car and walked over to where Jacob was standing looking under the hood.

"Hey, I thought you might need a flashlight," she told him and he smiled. She had no idea that with his wolf senses he didn't need a flashlight.

"Thanks," he smiled and she turned it on and shined it under the hood for him. She watched as Jacob felt hoses and checked fluids in the car. After a few minutes Jacob looked over at her. Now that she was out of the car he could get a good look at her. She about 5'6" tall, thin. She had really light brown hair, bright blue eyes, she was really beautiful and smelled like raspberries and he didn't even know her name.

"So do I get to know your name?" Jacob asked as he continued checking over everything. She saw him shake his head a few times and Lexi smiled.

"Its Lexi," she told him.

"Lexi," he said and she smiled. For some reason she loved the way her name sounded coming from his lips. "So what's it short for?"

"Alexandria," she sighed.

"Alexandria," he whispered. "Its pretty."

"Thanks," she said.

"Ok I know some of the problem," he told her.

"Ok."

"So you want the bad news first?"

"Always."

"Well for one I checked your oil level and its way lower than it should be, you could damage your motor from that," he told her. "You also have a few hoses and fuses that should definitely be replaced and I think your transmission is fixing to go out."

"Great," Lexi said sarcastically.

"There is good news."

"What news could be good?"

"I can fix it for you and you won't have to pay as much, parts and a little extra."

"Really you can fix this?' she asked surprised.

"Yes its one thing I'm really good at," he told her.

"Ok so how do I get my car to wherever I need it to go?"

"Well you are not driving that car anywhere, you could get hurt," he told her. "I'll call my friend Sam and he'll help us get it to my house and in the garage behind it."

"Oh is he your roommate or something?" she asked.

"No I actually live by myself," he told her as he shut the hood. Lexi stepped closer and held the umbrella up so it covered both of them, Jacob shook his head and took the umbrella from her and held it for her. Lexi looked over at him and finally got a good look at him. He was really tall and had tanned skin and deep brown eyes. A really nice smile as well, she let her eyes travel over his body and saw he was very muscular. He had huge biceps and from where the rain had soaked his t-shirt it clung to his body and she could make out a six pack under his shirt. He was definitely sexy.

"Oh you live by yourself," she said.

"Yeah Sam is a friend, more like a brother." he told her. "Why don't you go get in my truck so you don't get any more wet. Don't want you getting sick on me."

"Thanks Jake," she said and walked away from him. Jacob watched her as she opened the passenger side of his truck and slide in. When he saw she was safely inside his truck he called Sam to come help get her car to his house.

A few minutes later Lexi heard the drivers side door open and Jake got in and closed the door. "Sam will be here in about fifteen minutes."

"Thanks," she whispered. "So where do you live?"

"La Push."

"Oh," she whispered.

"I have a small two bedroom house, not much but its all mine," he told her. "Me and my friends fixed it up ourselves, it wasn't in the best condition when I got it. The roof was horrible, the paint was peeling, we put hardwood floors in the whole house and ripped up all the carpet."

"Sounds nice." she said.

"I've been taking care of my dad, he's in a wheelchair from a car accident, I've been taking care of him since I was like thirteen and my sisters left the rez," he sighed. "They turned eighteen one day and were on a plane the next day." he told her.

"That's sweet that you took care of your dad," she said and he smiled. "So why do you live by yourself?" she asked. "Your dads ok right?"

"My dads fine, got remarried and his new wife takes care of him, she told me it was time I got out of the house and lived my life a little."

"That was nice of her."

"Yeah it is," he sighed. "So I noticed your back seat was full of bags….

"My trunk is full of bags to," she told him.

"Oh. You going somewhere?"

"Yeah." she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair and looked out the window.

"Where?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know," he said. "How can you not know?"

"Because I just don't," she said upset. "Today has been the worst day ever and I have no idea what I'm going to do now."

"Tell me what happened, start from the beginning."

"You sure?" she asked skeptically.

"Positive," he smiled. "Talk to me." he said. "I'm actually really good at listening."

"Ok," she said. "So it all started when I slept through my alarm this morning and Sawyer my fiance didn't even bother to wake me up, he turned my alarm off but didn't want to wake me up."

"Why would he do that?" Jacob asked confused.

"He doesn't like that I work, he wants me to stay home and not work," she told him and he nodded.

"Why?" Jacob asked.

"He comes from a wealthy family and he has plenty of money and doesn't think his future wife should work," she told him. "But I told him that wasn't going to happen, I wasn't going to be dependent on him."

"Makes sense I guess."

"So I'm in such a hurry to get to my car that I fall down the stairs and hurt my ankle a little. Then when I get into my car, I need to put gas in it so I have to stop and fill my car up." she sighed. "I finally get to work and I'm definitely late and my boss yells at me about responsibility and being on time and a good work ethic. This was the first time I had been late since I had been working there," she told him. "So I go to my desk and some idiot spills his hot coffee on me," she went on.

"Ouch," Jacob said sympathetically.

"Yeah," she sighed and tucked her hair behind her ear. "So I finally get to work and sit down at my desk and work on my computer and it crashes."

"That sucks," Jacob said as he took her hand in his. "Did you have your work saved?"

"No," she told him. "Had to start all over."

"That sucks worse," he said and she felt his thumb running circles over the top of her hand.

"Yeah." she sighed. "So I finally get to go home and what do you think I find," she said. "My fiance in our bed fucking some other woman."

"Oh no," Jacob said shocked.

"Yep," she sighed. "So I packed up everything that was mine and left him." she told him. "He apologized of course and said it wouldn't happen again. But I wonder how long its been going on, how many other women he's cheated on me with."

"Lexi, that's horrible."

"So I basically threw his overly expensive, huge weighed my finger down diamond back at him and left and that brings me to my car breaking down and meeting you."

"Oh."

"And I have to say meeting you has been the highlight of my day."

"Glad I could help make your day better." he smiled.

"So after we get my car to your house do you think you could drive me to a hotel or something tonight?" she asked hopefully and he glanced over at her. He really didn't like the idea of her staying by herself overnight in a hotel. Especially after she just left her fiance. Anyone could find her in a hotel. However he could invite her to stay in his extra bedroom for the night, her fiance wouldn't think she was there and she would be safe and that way he could also look over her car really good and tell her what he needed to do.

"No I can't take you to a hotel," he said and she looked at him shocked.

"Ok," she said a bit surprised and tried to pull her hand out of his grasp but he wouldn't let her.

"Listen Lexi, you can stay with me tonight," he told her. "I have an extra bedroom and no one will bother you,"

"Jake I can't just stay at your house for nothing," she told him.

"Well what do you say, you cook me breakfast in the morning and we'll call that even. After breakfast I'll look over your car again and we'll see what I need to do." he said and she looked at him skeptically. "Look, I know we just met but I promise I have no other intentions," Jacob said. "Just a place to sleep tonight," he assured her. "Where you'll be safe and your fiance can't find you."

"Jake I don't think he'll do anything," she told him.

"Lexi," Jake said. "Just tonight, you can leave tomorrow if you want."

"Ok," she said quietly and he let go of her hand.

"Good," he smiled. "So have you had dinner?"

"No, I was to busy packing my bags," she sighed.

"Alright," he sighed. "After we get your car to my house, we can go to my friend Sam's house for dinner."

"Are you sure he won't mind an extra person?" she asked nervously.

"He won't mind Alexandria," Jacob said. "I promise."

"Ok," she agreed. "But I don't know why you're being so nice to me."

"Do I have to have a reason?" Jacob asked and he glanced over at her and he saw her shrug.

"I don't know," she said quietly and raised her hand to her mouth to bite her nails.

"Don't bite your nails," Jacob told her and grabbed her hand. "There's Sam." he added as a truck pulled up in front of Lexi's car. "You stay here ok?"

"Ok," she agreed and Jacob got out of his truck and walked to meet Sam.
