It has been a few months since the night of the attack by Mandy. Everything has gone back to normal. I started to do patrol at night, I have been hanging out with Bella a lot more,
and Vlad and I have officially begun dating. My dad was not very happy that I was dating a vampire, but my mom was really happy for me.
I got up and got dress. I decided to put on a pair of skinny jeans, my blue tank top and my black and blue converses. I also threw on Travis's sweatshirt on just in case I got cold. I
ran downstairs and ate breakfast. Dad was sitting, reading a newspaper. I heard him say "Have you talked to Jake lately. We haven't seen them in a while. We are going to Sam's place for dinner
so be home early. I am happy to see Jake, but I am not happy to see Sam. I headed out and saw Vlad in his truck. He started to drive me to school, so I could save my gas. He saw the look on my
face and asked "What's the matter honey. Is something bothering you?" I sighed and said "My dad and I are going to Sam's house for dinner. I am not really happy that I am going." He patted my
head and asked "Sam? You mean his pack?" I shook my head in agreement. He said "We have issues with them, so I cannot protect you there." I got a bit mad because I can easily protect
myself. I said "I can protect myself and plus, they will not hurt me." He looked at me and kissed me. We finally got to school and I saw Travis. He asked me "What do you want for your birthday,
since it is in two days." I completely forgot about y birthday. It is on March 13th, which is in two days. I ignored Travis and walked to class. I stared in space most of the day. Why in the hell would
we have dinner at Sam's place when dad knows that I cannot stand him, since the accident. We got into a fight when we were both hunting. We have hated each other since. When the day was
done, I saw Jake waiting for me on his motorcycle. Vlad saw him and confronted him. I ran over and I heard Vlad say "What are you doing here for? You do not belong here." I heard Jake say
"Alice's dad asked me to pick her up, and that is what I am doing." I said "My dad asked?" He shook his head. I said to Vlad "I am sorry. I will call you later." He kissed me on the cheek and I got
on his bike. Jake said "Hold on." I held onto Jake's waist and we took off. It was nice being on his bike again. I miss our times of us just hanging out. We got to the shore, which is where we
always hangout. I got off and Jake gave me a huge hug. He said "I miss you. You need to visit more often." He grabbed my hand and we walked along the shore line. We always did this as kids and
when we got into middle school. Jake was my only other friend, besides Travis. Jake was my wolf friend. We were in the same pack for a while, till my dad broke it up and my family became one
pack. He picked me up ant threw me on his shoulders. I kept on saying "Let me go, let me go!" I would hear him repeat "Never, I will never let you go!" We sat down near our usual spot, which is
next to the tree. I leaned on him as he talked about drama that dealt with the pack. I actually fell asleep. He is so warm, which I like. I kinda woke up when I felt him pick me up and throw me into
the water. It is cold as shit! I got up and kicked water in his face. We played for a bit will we got cold. I was soaked! He took me back to his house so we could warm up.
When we got in, no one was there, but it is the same. He said "My uncle let me have my own house. He thinks I need it." It was just the same. We always hung out at his
uncles place. I sat down and Jake handed me some coffee. I kept on shivering because I am so cold! Jake grabbed my hand and took me to his bedroom so he could give me some clothes. It took
him a while but he threw me a pair of basketball shorts, my wolf shirt that I left here like three years ago. He said "I will be on the swing once you are done." He closed the door and I looked
around his room. He had a bunch of pictures of the pack. It seems like there are having a bunch of fun. I looked and saw a picture of him and I when we were like twelve. I miss those times. I got
changed and I went outside. I sat next to him on the swing. He picked me up and sat me in his lap so I would warm up. He held me by my waist. I am so happy to be hanging out with him again.
He said "So are you ready to go to Sam's dinner?" I frowned and he laughed. He said "I guess not." We smiled and we walked to his bike. We got on and headed to Sam's house. I knew that we
would he early, but that's okay.
When we got there, Quil, Embry, Paul, Jared and Seth were playing football. Leah and Emily were inside with Sam. Everything felt right. Jake and I joined the other guys in football.
It was a lot of fun because I haven't done it in a while. I miss it. Our team won as usual. I gave everyone a hug and we sat down. Everyone kept on asking how I was, where I have been and how
come I smell like a vampire. I didn't tell them about Vlad, and neither did Jake. Emily came out with some brownies. I really missed her cooking. Leah wasn't really happy to see me, but it changed.
Sam didn't come out, which is not a surprise, since I kicked his ass last him and he broke his arm and some ribs. We sat around till my family showed up. Only my dad, Emma, Brittany and
Simone showed up. Mom and Brianna stayed home, so they could do patrol tonight. We all sat around the table. I sat between Jake and Seth just in case I got pissed at Sam again. It was pretty
quite till my dad broke the ice. They pretty much talked about buisness stuff, but Jake and I kept on playing twenty questions. We didn't pay attention till Sam said "And how is patrol around the
school Alice?" I stared into space before I answered. I said "It is just fine, we had some new borns around, but I took care of it." Sam smiled and went back to talking to my dad. Jake said "Nice job
controling your temper." I smerked and went back to eating. Once we were done, the guys and I went back to playing football. Before I went out, Sam puled me aside. I am not in the mood to talk
to him! He said "I know about what happened that night. It is okay, you did a good job, even though you broke your foot. I know we have some differences, but can we put them aside for your
dad's sake. You and your father are moving soon, so I think we should be nice o each other till then." What did he say? We are moving! He didn't tell us that. What the hell is going on? Sam also
said "And that is happening at the end of the school year." He walked away and I am still in shock. Jake came up to me and said "What happened?" I changed into my wolf form and ran off. This is
too much to handle. Why would he hide that from me and the family! Does mom know? I don't know what to do. I ran to our usual spot and changed back. I sat down and I still cannot think
straight. What will happen to the pack? To Travis?And to Vlad? I don't know what to do! I heard someone in the bushes. It was a girl. She said "Why is my Alice upset? Did something happen?
Maybe this will help you feel better." Mandy came out and attacked. I couldn't get up so I closed my eyes. I heard someone say "Alice! Get up!" Jake was in his wolf form and he came out in front
of me to protect me. He fought off Mandy. She backed off and said "Well I will leave you with your wolf friend. Vlad will be happy to hear about this." She ran off. Jake changed back to his regular
form. He said "What the hell happened?What did Sam say?" I just sat there and cried. Jake held me to comfort me. Seth and Quil came out and said "Oh my gosh. What happened?" They came
over and tried to get me to talk. When I was okay to talk, I said "My family is moving at the end of the school year and my dad didn't even tell us." Everyone came and gave me a hug. Jake and the
guys took turns giving me a piggy back ride. They thought it would calm me down, even though I am just depressed. Jake took me to his house with the rest of the guys. Seth called my dad and
told him that I am staying at Jake's place tonight. Jake turned on Jeff Dunham, which always makes me laugh. He made some popcorn and some coffee. The guys stayed over too. Jake said "If you
want to stay here for a while, you can." I laid my head down on him and started to cry again. The guys looked at me while I cried. When the guys fell asleep, Jake carried me to his room. He didn't
want to leave my side, so I slept with him. He held me tightly and said :I am always here for you, no matter what." I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I have no idea what to tell Travis and Vlad. I
don't want to break their hearts, but I guess I have to.
