"Hey…um…Sharada, wake up, now." I pushed away the hand that was shaking my shoulders, beckoning for me to get up. "No," I stated firmly. My attacker heaved a sigh and spoke a bit louder, "I didn't want to have to do this…" "Then don't," I retorted. Like I said before, I'm not a morning person. Suddenly, I felt two hands grip onto my shoulders and I was heaved off the couch. I winced and sat up, the events of yesterday replaying in my mind. My eyes shot open, "Jake!" I called out, unsurely. He sprinted into the room at top speed and looked around anxiously, "Sharada? What's wrong? Are you ok? Why are you on the floor?"

I rubbed my head, too many questions. "I'm fine and blame Embry," I pointed at Embry, who was snickering over his success in pushing me off the couch, "but, if I remember correctly, yesterday I found out I was pshycic, you're a werewolf, and the Cullen's are vampires." He shifted his weight uncomfortably, "Erm, yeah." I stood up and nodded my head, "Ok, thought so." I shook my already ruffled hair and Jake took a spot next to me, "Are you ok?" "Yup," I replied, "just as sane as I was yesterday." He scooped me up and I squealed. He laughed, "So you're crazy."

I giggled and rested my head on his shoulder, feeling the blood rush to my cheeks, "Pretty much." We stood like this for a few moments before Embry called out, "Hey! Lovebirds, take it outside." Jake laughed and flipped him off before setting me down. "So, Sleeping Beauty, ready to go talk to the bloodsuckers?" I cocked my head to the side, "Bloodsuckers? That's a nice nickname, what do they call you?" He rubbed his head and looked down embarrassedly, "Pup." I gave a short laugh, "Not very creative." He smiled down at me gratefully and pulled me along.

"Ah. Sharada, good to see you again. Are you feeling well?" I stared blankly at the blonde man, trying to remember his name. "Um, yeah. Totally," I responded nodding my head rapidly. I rocked back and forth and stared up at the pale vampires. "So, since I'm a psychic and all, what cool stuff can I do?" The doctor just shrugged and smiled patiently, "Sorry, I'm not quite sure though. You're just going to have to experiment and find out." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms making a very impatient noise. It just so happens that the smartest doctor in the world doesn't have an answer for a question I'm actually curious about. Yeah, well, welcome to my life.

"Wonderful," I muttered sarcastically earning me a few laughs from the pack. I clapped my hands together, "Well, as fantastic as this is I gotta get home, but I'll be back soon." Jake visibly jumped a bit, "I'll take you home." Carlisle and Sam nodded, "Why don't you take Bella home as well, Edward. I'm sure she's exhausted." Edward nodded but Bella crossed her arms in a defiant matter, "I'm fine, plus Charlie's not even up yet. I can make it a little longer-" And as if on cue, she yawned. I snickered, "Yeah, your so not tired" She frowned and gave a small glare. I smirked and glanced back at Jake, "You ready?" He nodded and I dragged him to his car.

He helped me in before hopping in himself. I glanced in the rearview mirror, "Hey, we got company." He growled and waited till Edward and Bella were in by the door, "Sorry to ask but would you mind if Bella can get a ride? She's too tired to handle running." I heard a groan of protest from Bella that was muffled quickly. Jake forced a smile, "Sure." I looked at the car, the front didn't have much room and Princess Bella would be too tired to climb to the back. I huffed and mentally cursed, once again, Bella was taking my spot with Jake. Geez, was I a jealous bitch or what?

I scoffed, "I guess I'll move for the darling Bella." Jake's face hardened and Edward rolled his eyes, "How generous of you, Sharada." I pulled myself over the seat and landed with a thud, "Yes, it's quiet a stretch for me," I teased. Jake's mouth formed into a tight line and helped Edward put his little girlfriend into the car and she immediately conked out. The vampire smiled softly and nodded his head at Jake; "I'll meet you at the house." Jake simply turned away and started the car. Within a second, Edward was gone. I groaned and sat back in the seat, "It's cold back here." Jake leaned back and gave me his lopsided grin, "I'm sorry, Shar."

I couldn't help myself, I smiled back, his grins were contagious. "It's alright," I tapped my chin thoughtfully, "but if you feel that bad. You can make it up to me by taking me to get some ice cream." His laughter bellowed throughout the car, causing Bella to shift slightly. "Alright, but not because I feel bad. I'll take you because you're my new best friend." I felt a small bubble of laughter escape, "Yay!" I cheered ecstatically. After all, best friends was just another step closer…

We pulled up into my driveway and I jumped out of the car. "Erm, Sharada?" I heard Jake called out. I poked my head in and saw the issue. Bella, who was still fast asleep, was leaning on him. I was tempted to tell him to just push her off, or at least wake her up, but I put my jealousy aside and swallowed, "I'll get Cullen."

Jake's POV

Something flash in her sky blue eyes, "I'll get Cullen," she muttered through gritted teeth. I wanted to reach out to her but I refrained. I looked down at Bella; her breathing was uneven and almost forced. She couldn't possibly be faking it…Note the sarcasm. I could hear Sharada bickering with Edward. Well, that's what it sounded like from what I picked up. All I heard was, "Girlfriend…blood…asshole." Um. I'm not sure how exactly to piece those all together.

My door swung open and Cullen promptly picked up Bella and cradled her like a child. Sharada then appeared on my side of the door. She stared at me expectantly, "Well, aren't you going to get out of the car?" I half smiled and stepped out of my truck. She grinned and flicked her hair out of her eyes, "There ya go. One step at a time," she teased. I stuck my tongue out at her and easily flipped her over my shoulder, "Real mature!" She squealed while trying to squirm free. I kept a firm grip on her waist and laughed softly. I carried her to her front door and dropped her on her feet.

She grinned her familiar teasing beam and swayed slightly. "You know, you all can come inside. My dad is probably working…so, yeah," she ended awkwardly. Cullen, who happened to be behind us said, "Well, the house is empty." Bella glanced at Edward and together they nodded yes. A small swirl of jealousy sprang up inside of me, but as soon as I saw Sharada's hopeful face staring at me, it disappeared. "Let's do it," I smirked grabbing her hand. She smiled and shrieked something that sounded like 'yay.' She fiddled with the lock but eventually she got in.

She spread her arms open and her eyes twinkled slightly, "Here's my home. It's not much but welcome!" She gave a dramatic bow and shuffled inside. I followed and glanced around. Her house was pretty spacey. Nothing like Bella's, even if it was next door. She ran around picking up bottles and items of the floor. "It's kinda a mess," she blushed and shrugged, "but it's not too bad." I smiled and shook my head at her. I found myself wandering toward a bookshelf that was dusty and seemed as if it hadn't been looked at in ages. My finger traced along the edges until they ran into a small book…it was a photo album.

I picked it up and flipped through the aged pages. I stopped when I saw a small snapshot of Sharada and what I think was her mom. I froze and stared at the picture. The small girl was hanging on her mother's neck. They both sat on the grass, smiling and blissfully happy. The little girl was clearly Sharada; her sharp blue eyes gave her away. I could only guess that the older version was her mom. I flipped the page and saw a sole picture of her dad, smiling happily, visibly young and handsome. The next page had a picture of the backs of two girls dressed in only bikinis. They were facing a lake, one had long blonde hair, the other had a stream of brown hair.

"That's Ceria and I," a voice chimed from behind. I jumped and turned to see Sharada and Bella looking over my shoulder. "Ceria?" I echoed confused. She shrugged and took the book and sat on the couch, "My best friend." I took a seat next to her, Bella on her other side with Cullen towering over us. She ignored the company and flipped to a page, "Wanna see what I look liked with long hair?" She questioned giddily. I couldn't help but smile, I'm so glad I imprinted on this girl. Bella nodded, "Yes please!" She showed a page with four pictures.

"These two were in Lake Havasu with Ceria," she smiled faintly as she relived the memories, "I ran away from my dad…he didn't notice though, and Ceria got permission." One snapshot showed her sitting in a boat, grinning at the camera wearing large shades. Her hair was longer and wavy, as if she had just gotten out of the water a while ago, also she wore a white throw over that was sliding down her tan shoulders. She looked genuinely happy and positively gorgeous.

The second she had the same hairdo flowing behind her, her shades just as equally big as before. The pullover now had a small brown jacket. She was leaning backwards in a model-esque pose, the lake in the background shimmered. "Wow…" I breathed. She was just as equally beautiful as she is now. Bella sighed, "Woah, Sharada. You were beautiful," Sharada blushed, "Thanks," her tinted cheeks quickly disappeared and she recovered fast, "moving on. This is a Halloween one, a dress one, and an after haircut thing."

One pictured revealed her wearing dark sunglasses, her hair straight and tied into a bow on the top of her head. She laughed, "I was being Lady Gaga," she bit her lip, "hot, right?" She snickered and I simply nodded through small laughs. The next portrait had her wearing a short black and red punkish dress. Her hair was straightened and messy and almost a different color. Her hands were wrapped in black wrist gloves and she wore black laced up shoes. Even with edge she was amazingly pretty. Or maybe that's the hormone talking…?

The other pictured showed a close-up of her face. Her hair was straightened into side bangs and a crazy style, the back was colored a dark brown. Her bright azure eyes had dark rings of black around them. She giggled, "Man did I look badass." Cullen gave a short laugh, "Don't ever do that Bella, even though I think you're beautiful in any design." Bella turned scarlet and smiled. I felt a burst of anger rise inside of me, "Well, Sharada your definitely an exotic punky beauty," I defended my girl. She grinned and posed, "Gee! Do you really think so?" I laughed and told her yes. She pinched my cheeks and grinned, "Well, Jakey, you ain't too bad looking either," with that she winked and flipped the page.

"These are of Cer Bear and I," she simpered at her little nickname. A picture shoed them side by side at a football game. Ceria's brown hair and Sharada's long blonde hair clashed. They made pouty faces at the camera and had smudges of black under their eyes. The next snapshot was of the two girls lying on the ground. Both were laughing and smiling, Sharada's long blonde hair and the brunette hair clashed in a nice way. The last one had the two girls apparently out in town. Both wore giant sunglasses and sipped from cups. Sharada's hair was long and shaggy, she smiled in a teeth bearing way while her friend pursed her lips. I laughed quietly, "Wild child, huh?" Sharada lightly smacked me on the arm and snatched away the book.

She glanced at Cullen, Bella, and me with big blue eyes, "Well, these are a few modern ones and my family pictures." There were a few of Sharada posing with her short pixie cut, making strange faces at the camera. The others were snapshots of her being held by her mother and father when she was a child. The pictured seemed to show a perfectly blissful family. She quickly snapped the album shut and set it aside. "Yes, well, now that you've lurked my house and stalked my photos, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I do have 'normal' friends that require my presence. Plus, it's not like I'm not going to see you every day. I mean Bella lives next to me and Cullen is always with her. And Jake is my self-proclaimed new BFF, so I expect him to come around all the time," she gave me a devilish wink and I swear my heart sped up a little.

I hugged her and rested my chin on her shoulder, "Aw, Sharada…I don't wanna go." She patted my head and motioned for Edward and Bella to follow. She led us to the door and practically shoved us out. She leaned on the doorway and smirked, "Later gorgeous." And with that she shut the door. I smiled to myself and shook my head. She definitely was my favorite person. I jumped in my rabbit and heard Bella calling me, "Bye Jacob! Will you come tomorrow?" I thought it over, I looked at her and Cullen and smiled for the first time, "Expect me around eight o clockish tonight." Because I just can't stand to not be around that fiery little blondie.
