Paul's POV

I let out a sigh as I heard the loud slam of the front door. At least the war was over, for now. I knew that there would be more, there was always more. Just because he decided to leave, didn't mean that he was finished. I got out of bed and pulled on some pajama bottoms, so that I wouldn't be walking around nude, and left my room. There was an uncomfortable silence in the air as I made my way down the hallway and into the front room. I heard soft sobs coming from the kitchen and the silence was broken. My shoulders began to droop a bit as I made my way to the kitchen and found my mom crying on the floor. I tried helping her up off of the floor, but she pushed me away.

"Don't touch me! I don't need your pity!" She yelled as she stumbled off of the floor and moved towards her room.

I knew that she had gotten there when I heard another door slam. I let out another sigh as I looked around the kitchen and found shattered glass scattered on the floor.

"I guess that it got worse than I thought." I mumbled to myself as I reached for the broom and dust pan.

After I had the mess cleaned up and thrown in the trash can, I decided to dump the almost full trash. As I walked out the door, trash bag in hand, I watched the pavement as I walked along the stone path to the trash bins outside. I began thinking about my encounter with Jacob last night. He seemed pretty adamant about his feelings towards me. He even crushed any dreams of having a fresh start and even just being friends. He gave me the coldest look, but I didn't blame him. If I was in his position, I probably would've done the same thing. It was our goal to make Jacob Black's summers hell, and we did.

I lifted the lid and placed the trash inside the bin and then looked up towards the cloudy sky, but my eyes got diverted when I saw Jacob standing on the road, panting and sweating slightly. He seemed to be intently watching me, but I tried to keep my excitement down. I noticed that he was holding headphones in his hands and looked a bit torn. I didn't know why, but seeing him troubled made me feel like someone was squeezing my heart.

A small smirk played on his lips as he mouthed the word, "Hi."

My heart was soaring and a wide smile formed on my face as I mouthed "Hey."

He seemed to just stay there for a few seconds before his small smirk turned into a full smile. He slowly began turning and he lifted the headphones back to his ears, but not before I called his name.

"Jacob!" I began jogging towards my imprint.

He turned back towards me with a questioning look on his face.

As I stood in front of him, I was questioning my reason for my own actions. I didn't really know what to say to him at the moment, I just wanted an excuse to look at him, or better yet, talk to him.

"I think that I should…apologize." I said, hoping that he would forgive me.

"For?" He asked, probing me to explain and, to my pleasure, prolonging our conversation.

"What I did to you when you were younger. I…I shouldn't have done those things to you."

"Oh…okay." He shrugged before smiling again, "Well, don't worry about it, I think I was just holding onto a grudge. I shoulda let it go, so let's just start over." He held out a hand, "Hi, I'm Jacob, but my feel free to call me Jake."

I smiled brightly as my hand met his, "I'm Paul. It's nice to meet you." We both chuckled at out weird antics, "Well Jake, I could use a break from this place, so do you mind if I join you on your morning run?"

He shrugged, "I don't see why not."

I ran back to my house to change into some proper running clothes and was back outside within five minutes. He was patiently listening to his music, with only one headphone in his ear, the other just hung there. I smiled at him and my happiness was overwhelming as I was given the opportunity to spend time with this beautiful boy.

"So, I guess we just run now." He chuckled nervously and I just nodded.

We began our jogging in silence. Every once in a while I would glance towards him and bask in the glory of his lightly sweating body. He was taking in deep breaths through his mouth, and I watched his chest rise and fall underneath his white jacket. I found a familiar path that led away from the road that we were running on, and a bright idea popped into my head.

I slowed my pace to a halt, and Jake did the same as he was letting out heavy pants.

"Hey, you up to a little morning hike?" I asked him, since I wasn't panting. I was used to the long runs.

"Sure, did you know a good place?" He asked, panting after every other word.

I gestured my head towards the path, "Right there. It leads up to a nice view."

He nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'm up for it."

"Alright, then let's get walking." I smiled as I began walking along the grassy path.

Leah's POV

What did you do wrong Leah? What did you do to deserve this…this pain? This heartache? I wish that someone could just explain to me what I did that was so wrong that would make me deserve this?

Seeing them together last night…I just couldn't take the sight of it. Seeing them…so happy…it just destroys me. No matter how strong I try and become, that one sight always breaks me down back down to nothing. I don't think that I deserve any of this. And then everyone just thinks that I'm some cold hearted bitch, but they don't understand what I'm going through. The only people that do are Sam, Emily, and Seth. My dear little brother Seth. His happiness made me…somewhat happy. I just prayed that he would never have to go through anything like this.

I slowly got out of bed and exited my room. My hair was in a, surprisingly neat, ponytail and I was wearing some pink boy shorts and a white tank top. I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to pull out a bottle of tea, when I heard a gentle knock on the door.

I unwillingly made my way to the door, and placed my hand on the knob, and that's when I got this bad feeling in my gut. I should've just followed my instincts, because when I opened the door, I found Emily Young standing on my doorstep.

"What do you want?" I spit out bitterly as I glared at her.

"I…I just w-wanted to t-talk." She stuttered weakly.

"Then talk." I snapped, taping my foot impatiently.

"Leah…I miss us. I want us to be close again." She began running through an apology.

"You miss us?" I began glaring at her as I let out a small sarcastic laugh, "That's hilarious because if I remember correctly, you were the one that threw us and any relationship we had, away."

"But Leah…" She pleaded with tears streaking her cheeks.

"NO. Save your breath and your fucking tears for someone who cares Emily." I spoke coldly towards her as I began stepping back into the house and slowly began closing the door. I stopped halfway, "Wait, let me ask you Emily, how does it feel to cry about losing someone that you loved so much? Huh, Emily?" I waited and she just continued to cry, "How does it feel!" I yelled at her, realizing that I had began crying as well. I simply shook my head before slamming the door shut.

How does it feel Emily?

Jake's POV

He began walking ahead of me and I followed. I wonder how long I've been gone for. I didn't even know what time it was when I left. I don't know why, but I got this weird, excited feeling in my stomach when he asked to run with me. Paul had really changed over the years. I began to wonder why I was feeling this sudden, admiration, towards him. It was a strange turn of emotion, I mean just yesterday I loathed even the thought of Paul Meraz, and now here I am happy that I get to spend time with him. Do I dare say that I have a…crush on Paul? NO! Paul is straight. I know it. I can feel it. Just like I can feel the pain and heartbreak that would come with this one sided crush. I had to squash those feelings now before they could grow.

"So Jake, tell me about yourself." Paul broke the comfortable silence that grew between us.

"Uh…um…well I moved here from California. I like to cook, and love my music." I said, giving him the short summary of me. Of course I left out a few details.

"That's it huh? That's all I should know about Jacob Black?" He asked, curiosity clear in his voice.

"Well…that's the cliff notes version." I smiled as I looked around at out forest like surroundings.

"Well, sometimes cliff notes leave out some important details." He looked over towards me.

I let out a small laugh as I looked ahead at what looked like a wide opening in the trail.

"I have an idea," I began to propose a suggestion as we got closer to the opening in the path, "why don't you just ask me what you want to know?"

He nodded with a smile as we walked past the opening and onto a grassy clearing in the forest. There were flowers growing everywhere, and the morning sun was shining through the tree tops which lit up the area nicely. There was a small stream running through the edge. The sight was breathtaking and so peaceful. Paul had walked to the center of the clearing and sat down, stretching his legs out in front of him. I did the same when I sat next to him.

"So, who's your favorite singer?" He asked, beginning the round of questions.

"Madonna."

"Favorite movie?"

"Hmm…Pulp Fiction."

"Favorite month?"

"December, cuz it's the coldest month time." I smiled at him.

"Alright, that's cool. Well…enough with the boring stuff. Let's get into detail. Are you uh…are you…ya know?"

My face began heating up as I realized what he was asking me. Aw shit, what do I do? Do I lie? Do I just tell him the truth? How would he react if I told him the truth? Would he know if I'm lying to him?

All these thoughts raced through my mind all at once, and gave me an instant migraine. I cautiously looked to my left at Paul and saw him staring at me intently.

"What're you?" I asked, taking the subject away from me.

He laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Don't try and change the subject kid! Or I will have to use my amazing persuasion skills on you."

I laughed, "Oh yeah? Well I'd like to see that happen." I turned to smile at him, and I saw him biting his bottom lip, and he looked oh so sexy doing it.

My heart quickened as I noticed that he was slowly leaning in towards me. Our lips were a mere inch or two apart, I could feel his hot sweet breath on my face.

Paul Meraz, what are you going to do?

A/N: Oh my gooooodness! I'm so tired! Hahaha oh yes, and also, what do yall want me to do with Jake and Paul? What did yall think of Leah? And on a more important note…should I continue with this story? Review and let me know.
