Jolene POV
I stayed in the bathroom for another half hour till the bleeding stopped and I wasn't woozy anymore. I wrapped a bandage around my arm without making it bulky and slid back to the floor. My mother, surprise surprise, hadn't come to see what was wrong with me. She was too happy reveling in the fact that her loving Trevor was coming home. She didn't get the fact that dad wasn't happy to come home to her, it was to the little kids he could tear apart. A whole new town, and now one knew what a sick monster he was. He must be so happy.
A knock came on the door, making me sigh. "What?" I called. Leave me alone.
"Jojo, can you come out please."
The voice made me freeze. It was the last person I expected.
"Alice?" I asked, opening the door. The blood was cleaned up now, and there was no evidence of my cutting myself. There was no way she would know. I stared down at her tiny body, her face a mix between pain and anger. Her nostrils flared, and her lips pursed. "What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to look casual.
"You know why. Jolene..." Her eyes, now a deep black, bored into mine. How the hell would she know? How...?
"I'm fine," I said simply, pushing past her. Her arm snapped out, pushing me back into the bathroom with surprising strength. She closed the door locking it again and pinching the bridge of her nose.
"You promised Seth." She sighed, staring at me sadly. "He's going to be-"
"Nothing happened. I'm fine. Didn't you hear, my daddy's coming home?" I snapped. Her face didn't give away shock if she had any, just... knowing. She reached out, shoving up my sleeve. I let her, it didn't matter anymore. She flinched at the open wounds, her hands running over them genlty. The ice cold touch stopped the slight burning for a moment.
"They can't let him stay here with you. He's a known pedophile. With Alisa here, they won't allow it." She assured me, sitting next to me on the tiled floor. She rubbed my arm gently, watching me carefully.
"How did you know?" I asked, glancing at her curiously. Her eyebrows furrowed together, as she turned away from me.
"It's hard to explain. Seth should talk to you first." Alice said, shrugging her tiny shoulders.
"Alice your my friend right? You know everything about me, so why can't you tell me?" I asked, frustrated. Her whole family was an unknown enigma. There was no way Alice could know something like this so easily, without stalking me or something. And she didn't seem the type.
"It's really, really complicated. It would take a lot of explaining." She sighed, staring at me worriedly. "And it could put you in danger. I can't be the one to tell you, it has to be Seth."
I slipped away from her, shaking my head. "This is bullshit Alice. It's not fair." I sounded childish, but I didn't care. It wasn't fair. They knew all my dirty secrets, every single one of them and they didn't give me anything. How was this friendship? And what was Seth hiding either? He was being a big a jerk as Alice and her family.
"I'm sorry. I can't." She sighed, standing up with me. She gave me a sad smile, as she reached out again. "You can come over if you want. Alisa can come again-"
"No, go away." I snapped, opening the bathroom door. She stood, looking torn. "Go away Alice." I snapped. She sighed, her face smoothing out. She sighed, and nodded before moving toward the door.
"I'm sorry Jojo." She sighed, before turning and walking out.

Seth POV
I didn't sleep all night. Alice had called while I was on patrol because of a vision of Jolene cutting again. I hadn't gotten it, but Alice had come and found me on patrol and told me everything. Jolene father was coming back, that she had gone to see her, and that she was angry at the both of us. She had asked what was going on, how she knew about it and Alice couldn't tell her. She said that Jolene wanted answers and had kicked Alice out after she didn't give them to her. She told me to stay away, and to let her be alone.
Problem was it hurt worse than anything in the world to stay away from her. I knew she would be so upset, with her father coming home. Her mother would be all happy about her father, and not even care it was killing Jolene. She wouldn't even notice when Jolene went into the bathroom and cut herself open. She was a stupid bitch.
I would see her the next day at school, and I would talk to her then if she would. That was the only thing that didn't stop me from running to her now. I would see her tomorrow, and I would be fine.
Jacob had instructed me to tell her about our shapeshifting. I needed too soon, and he knew that it would be ten times better if she understood everything. She was already curious, and I needed to get it over with. Problem was, how was she going to react? Would she run away and never come back? Would she call me a freak and cry? I was scared to tell her. But it had to be done.
I searched for her in the hallways of school, and found her easily. She wasn't hard to pick out with her bright red hair. I followed her, calling out her name. She ignored me though, walking faster. I caught up easily, grabbing her hand as not to hurt her fresh cuts. "Jolene... please." I begged as she jerked around.
"No, I'm not putting up with you and Alice's secrets. It's not fair. I have everything laid out on the table, and you give me nothing. That's not how friendships are supposed to work Seth!"
"I know. I'm sorry." I sighed, rubbing my face. "Look, after school, meet me at my house. I swear to you I'll tell you everything. Please." I stared her straight in the eyes, letting her know I was serious.
"Swear?" She repeated, her eyes disbelieving. I nodded furiously.
"I want you to know. Alice couldn't tell because it was my place to tell you. She was just covering for me." I assured her. "She doesn't want you angry."
Jolene shuffled her feet, sighing. "Fine, I'll talk to her. After you tell me everything." She glared. I nodded, as she turned on her heel and headed to class.
This was going to suck.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was nervous and jittery all day. Jolene sat with me at lunch like always, but it was tense and we talked little. She seemed to realize how nervous I was because she would give me a worried look every once in a while. She met me at my truck after school, getting in and silently coming home with me. I didn't go home though, I went toward the woods.
"What are you doing?" She asked, glancing as we passed the road to turn to my house. "Where are we going?"
"I have to show you stuff for you to understand everything. And we can't do it at my house." I sighed, my hands already shaking. But it had nothing to do with transforming, I was out of my mind nervous. I wish Alice could see how this was going to go. Damn me and my blank future thing. I parked when we were far enough in the woods. She glanced around, looking slightly nervous herself. I got out, moving around the truck and opening it for her too. I paced for a minute before she finally couldn't take it anymore.
"What is it Seth? You promised." She glared, watching me. I sighed, coming to stand in front of her.
"I-I'm a.... shape shifter." I blurted, watching her face. She raised her eyebrows, her face becoming hard.
"Oh, okay. So you're a mutant? You joined the X-men too? Or is like Harry Potter? Are you a wizard?" She gave a harsh angry laugh, folding her arms. "You're real cute Seth, dragging me out here and pulling this shit. You know what, fuck you and Alice, fuck both of- what are you doing?!"
I began stripping down, taking my pants off and shirt until I was in my boxers. Her eyes widened as she backed away from me. "I'm gonna show you." I assured her. I sighed, closing my eyes and focusing on the heat. It built and built until I felt like I was going to burst. With several jerks and cracks I was on all fours, staring down at her. Her whole face was frozen with shock, as she stumbled back and falling on her knees. I immediatly moved forward, as she gave a cry. I jerked to a stop whimpering and lowering my head. Please don't be scared. I love you.
"Oh god." She gasped, holding her head in her hands. "Now I'm losing my mind."
No, I'm real. Please Jolene. MY sweet Jolene. I whimpered, making her head snap up. I moved forward slowly watching her shake.
"This is forreal? You're.... you're Seth?" She stuttered, staring at me with wide frightented eyes. I gave a gentle nod, moving forward again. She didn't flinch back but let me move forward and lay my head on her knee. I laid down, staring at her with wide eyes. "Seth..." She sighed, running her hand through my fur. I closed my eyes, sighing under her touch. "How-how...?"
I lifted my head, sitting in front of her. "Did you get bit? Like... like by another...werewolf?" I shook my head. Her eyebrows furrowed and shook her head. "I don't- don't understand."
I gave a little bark, making her jump. At least she hadn't run away! This was okay so far. "Don't go!" She begged, her hands reaching out. I shook my head furiously, grabbing my clothes. "What are you doing?" She asked, looking confused. I brought my paw up to my eyes, covering them. "What?" I jerked my head at her, then did the same thing. "Me?" I nodded. She covered her eyes, waiting patiently. I sighed concentrating on become human again. I transformed back, with a gasp. Jolene jerked her hand back, then gasped and gave a little scream at my nakedness. She covered her eyes again, shaking her head. "Sorry!" She blushed. I blushed too, shoving on my pants.
"I told you to cover you're eyes." I sighed, coming forward and slipping her hand away. She blushed still, but looked up at me. She didn't flinch away from my touch, another good sign. "Are you alright?" I asked, nervous again. She sighed, blinking and taking a deep breath.
"I-I yeah." She whispered, glancing up at me. "Is...is Alice a werewolf too?"
I gave a booming laugh, making her blush again. "No, definitely not. She's... she's.... promise you won't freak out?"
"I don't think much else will freak me out." she sighed, shaking her head again.
"Vampire." I blurted. She bit her lip.
"Alice is... and the Cullen's? They're VAMPIRES! They could have killed us! Alisa and-" She shook with the thought, her face worried.
"No, no, no! They're good people! They don't drink from humans, they only drink from animals. They try to save human life. They're the good guys!" I assured her, helping her up. She swayed but I grabbed her waist and steadyed her.
"Animals? They don't ever drink from humans? Why?" She gapped, as I helped her toward the truck.
"Because they don't want to hurt people. And the Cullen's are some of the best people I've ever met. Esme and Alice really loves you." I smiled. "Jolene, are you really okay with this? You're not...afraid of me? I would never hurt you." I assured her, reaching out and taking her hand.
"I'm...I'm not afraid of you." She sounded a bit shocked herself. "You're... you're still Seth. And the Cullen's are still the Cullen's. You've both been... amazing to me and I still like both of you guys."
I was shocked. I had expected a little bit of aversion. I grabbed her up suddenly, pressing my mouth to hers in excitement. I felt her freeze, her whole body tensing. I realized what I'd done, and jerked back from her quickly. "I'm-I'm sorry. I...I just-"
"I-it's fine. Um....I- we need to get back." She stuttered, moving into the truck. I growled. Great now she would run away. Why the hell would I kiss her? Well, I mean I had wanted to for a while, who wouldn't? But...god I'm stupid.
I got in the truck drove, tense and silent. Jolene stared out the window, red faced and nervous. "I'm sorry Jojo." I whispered. She turned toward me, her eyes confused. She reached out her tiny hand and grabbed mine.
"It's okay Seth. Thank you... for showing me you're secrets." She scooted closer, kissing my cheek gently.
I grinned the rest of the way home.

Jolene POV
Holy fucking shit! Seth was a werewolf shape shifter thing! And the Cullen's were vampires! I-I didn't even know where to begin. I wasn't really freaked out for some reason, maybe I was insane, maybe I was just accepting I didn't know. My two best friends here were mythological creatures!
And one of them had kissed me.
Seth had kissed me.
I laid down on my bed, closing my eyes. I pictured Seth in his wolf form, his sandy hair, his soft brown eyes. He was...cute in a huge scary way. His fur was soft and nice.
"Seth..."
"No, Alice."
I screamed, jumping up and opening my eyes. A cold hand flew over my mouth, silencing me. Alice shook her head, and looked toward the door. She glared at me, rolling her eyes and in a flash she was gone. What the FUCK?
"Jojo? Are you alright?" Tylee asked, opening my bedroom door.
"I-I yeah, just thought I saw a-a spider." I gasped. Tylee gave an amused look, shaking her head. "Sorry."
"It's alright, just gave me a heart attack." She smiled, before turning around and closing the door.
"Alice?" I called, hoping I hadn't imagined all that. I really was going insane.
"You didn't have to scream." Alice was there suddenly, making me gasp and jerk away. "Sorry." She giggled, sitting down on the bed.
"Didn't have to scream? You show up in my room out of freaking no where. How did you get in here?" I gasped, running a finger through my hair. She jerked her thumb at the window. "It's two stories high!" I gaped.
"Vampire remember." She smiled. "Seth told me he told you." She sat indian style on my bed across from me smiling happily.
"You-you can jump that high?" I gaped. She smiled smugly bobbing her tiny head. "Jesus..." I mumbled, rubbing my eyes. "I'm so... boring compared to all you."
"Yes, it would suck being normal." She sighed, shaking her head. I glared at her, making her giggle and stick out her tongue.
"So...wait. You were outside in the sun the day we went shopping. Why didn't you and Rose burn up?" I asked curiously.
"That's a myth. We can walk around in the sun... but our skin... glitters. So we have to hid from the direct sunlight." She said simply.
"Glitters?" I laughed, raising my eybrow. She rolled her golden eyes, shrugging.
"I know, kinda weird." She smiled. "Any other questions?"
"Well... are you older than what you're supposed to be? I mean, Aunt Tylee said you graduated three years ago. So you're... 19?"
"I was born in 1901. I was changed in 1917, I was sixteen." She said simply, like it was nothing. I whistled.
"Wow, so you're over a hundred counting when you were human?" I marveled. My best friend was older than my grandpa. That was...weird.
"Yep, I'll be a 110 in a couple months. That's nothing though. Carlisle was born in the 1640's, and Jasper was born in the 1800's. He was a soldier in the civil war." She sighed, looking sad suddenly.
"So... did this have something to do with you knowing... about earilier?" I asked, glancing at my sleeve. She nodded simply.
"Some vampires have... gifts. I can see the future, and Edward can read minds. Jazz can feel and manipulate people's emotions." Wow... that was weird. No wonder she knew about it. She saw me doing it before it happened. And Edward, he knew all about my father out of no where. It was him reading my mind. And Jasper... the odd wave of calm that always came over me when I got nervous around him was explained. It was him.
"Wow..." Was all I could say. "You and Jasper... have you been together all that time?" I asked. I wondered about the loving gazes they scared, that went so much deeper than some teenagers in love. Alice smiled simply, pulling a necklace out from under her shirt. It held a glittering beautiful diamond ring.
"That's our wedding ring. We've been married since 1943." She smiled, her eyes filled with love. "I found him after I woke from the change. It took 16 years, but I did it." She said proudly, staring down at the ring lovingly.
"16 years? Why were you looking for him so long?" I whispered, marveling. She must really love him.
"He was the first thing I saw when I woke up." She whispered. "I woke up seeing his beautiful face, and had vision after vision about him and then as I got closer to finding him about what we were going to be." She sighed, tucking the ring back in her blouse. "Jasper is my soul mate, and I get to spend eternity with him."
Lucky Alice, she had someone who was meant for her. It was like Jasper was made specifically for her. And from his loving gazes and soft touches he loved her more than anything in the world. I wished I could have that someday. It wouldn't be the same, but I wanted love too. But I was broken goods, and I wasn't lovable.
"Rose and Emmett, Bella and Edward, Carlisle and Esme...they've all been together that long and stuff too?"
"Rosalie and Emmett have been together since 1936, Esme and Carlisle since 1920, and Bella and Edward since 2005." She stated with a smile.
"Edward and Bella... they just got changed?" I asked, curious.
"Carlisle changed Edward in 1918, but he just met Bella a couple year ago. They got married and Bella was changed after she had Nessie three years ago." She said.
"Nessie's... like 16. That's not..."
"Nessie is half vampire, half human. She grows faster than normal. Bella was only pregnant with her for a month and a half. In three days after she was born Nessie was the size of 6 month old." Alice shrugged. "She's my little niece!" I giggled, taking that in. This was all so weird. Vampires, hybrids and werewolves, oh my! "You should go to bed." she stated, glancing over at the clock. It was 11 something. "I hear humans need sleep." She smiled, standing.
"Don't you sleep in coffins or something?" I smiled ,watching as she danced her way to the window.
"Nope, we don't sleep." She shrugged, opening the window and a light breeze came in.
"Do-don't sl-"
"By Jolene." She giggled, and in a flash of white and black she was out the window and gone.
I went to bed, dreaming of vampires and werewolves.
There you go, the secret is out! Seth will tell her about the imprinting in the next chapter! Hope you enjoyed there first kiss! lol
Peace loves.
