Chapter 3: Foreign Exchange Student.

I had a nightmare that night. In my nightmare, I was running through the woods lost, the yelling voices of the students from my class calling my father and I names. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't escape them, then at the end of what looked to be the forest was an opening. In the opening was JB. He sat with his back towards me, his russet fur blowing in the wind. I stopped. In this opening, there was nothing except the sound of birds. The light reflected off the flowers as if they were made of metal. Everything looked faded except for JB. I stepped forward. "Mayella." A deep husky voice said. Then I realized whose voice it was. Jacob. Suddenly the shape began to change. The bones shifted into that of a human and there was Jacob, standing in the middle of the field, his black hair looking grey due to the light. Behind him, six other large wolves came out from the darkness and began to change. The largest besides Jacob turned into Jared, then after him was Paul, Embry, Quil, Leah then Seth.

"I hate wolves!" My fathers voice snarled. My eyes snapped to the trees. There on the tops of the trees, were my family members. The Cullen's. My father pushed himself from the top of the tree, the other Cullen's following him. They moved right through them, my new found friends splattering, bursting like water balloons hitting the sidewalk. I woke up screaming. A grey wolf lifted his head from the cushions in the middle of my room. I looked at him confused, my breathing heavy. He barked lightly laying his chin on his paws. "Where's JB?" I questioned looking at him, hugging my blankets to me.

My bedroom door opened. Bella walked in, a worried look on her face. "You ok baby?" She questioned, gliding to my bedside sitting down. "Yeah, I had a nightmare, that's all. Where's JB?" I questioned recalling last night after I had gotten my cast that JB wasn't anywhere in the house. "Yesterday Alice came to pick him up. Your Grandfather had to get his shots taken care of, plus, he has someone whose interested in him."

My heart started racing. "No! They can't have my JB!" I screamed. "They aren't taking him home, they are just interested in his actions and behaviors. I looked down. "Oh." I muttered. "Mom, do you know who the Clearwater's are?" She looked up at me shocked. "yes, I do. The children's grandfather was friends with Charlie but he died a while ago. Leah used to date Sam as well. Why do you ask?" I smiled. "I met them both yesterday in school. Their friends with Jacob. I was just wondering if you knew them." My mother smiled. "Oh? Did you? They're good kids." I nodded. Looking over at the wolf, I saw that he was staring at me. I let my hand down and rubbed my fingers together. "Come here boy" I coaxed. He stood up and slinked over to my hand. Bella laughed. Running my fingers through his hair, laughing as he licked my face. "What's your name boy? Wait," I bent over to confirm his sex. "Yeah, boy." Bella laughed as he sat down his chin falling onto my lap. "His name is Nicholas." I looked at her. "Nicholas? wow, Why doesn't JB have a regular name like that?" I snorted. Bella laughed again, "He does. JB are his initials. His real name is Jasper Blake, can you guess who named him?" I laughed, "Alice?" Bella nodded. Alice loved Jasper alot, but I never would have imagined her in a stage where she would name every pet she had after him. We sat in silence for a few minutes then she beamed, clasping her hands together. "Mayella, honey I have a surprise for you that your father and I have been dieing for it to show up." She stood up and grabbed my arm pulling on me. "Come on mom! I'm naked!" I squealed. Nicholas back away and started barking. I looked at him while trying to fight against my overly excited mother. "Oh god, not another yappy one" I mumbled. Finally I gave in and stood up, my blanket falling to the floor. A shocked look flashed across Bella's face for a split second, then faded away to a smile. Nicholas stared at me with wide eyes. "Fine, show me."

She giggled happily and threw my robe at me. I slipped it on and followed her out into the hallway. She stopped in front of one of the doors and opened it a crack slipping her head in. "Aww, I guess I'm going to have to show you after you get home from school today." She whispered backing out and shutting the door. I cocked an eyebrow. "What is it?" She shook her head, "It's not ready yet." She smiled. "You might want to start getting ready for school, you only have 50 minutes" She cooed. I gasped. "What! How could you let me sleep so late" I squealed. She put her index finger over her lips. "Ssh! Do you have to be so loud in the morning? I'm right here you know." She giggled. In a whisper I repeated myself. She looked at me with one eyebrow cocked. "You forgot to set your alarm clock last night didn't you? I didn't think that you'd sleep so long with nightmares."

Rolling my eyes I whirled around and ran to the bathroom, my mother laughing.

I quickly washed my hair and towel dried it. I didn't have enough time to straighten it so I put moose in it to keep it tame. I threw on a blue sweater a pair of jeans and my left sneaker. I sighed when I looked down at the cast. It was such a hassle, having to wrap it in plastic before a shower and not being able to wear both shoes. I cursed at myself for doing the stupid pacer test in the first place, that's when it hit me school? That didn't make sense. After what happened yesterday, we weren't suspended? Standing I ran down stairs fast enough to make it out the door without chit chat but slow enough so I didn't trip. "Take the GT!" Edward called after me. I turned as he threw me the keys. "You're trusting me with the GT?" I questioned out of breath, "You only have 10 minutes to get there, so you'll need all the speed you can get, just don't get into any accidents." He smiled. I nodded and ran to the garage.

I climbed into a Beretta GT that was black. It was fairly new with a new paint job, leather seats and tinted windows. It was a racing car in which my mother didn't like me behind the wheel of. Also, it was an Automatic. Most of the vehicles I drove were automatics. I didn't know how to drive a standard. Slamming the key into the ignition, I turned it on and waited a couple minutes for it to warm up. Slamming it in reverse, I peeled out of the driveway and down the road to LA Push, hoping and praying to god that the only class I would be late for -even better, miss- was first.

TWILIGHT

I made it to the school only two minutes late. Breaking the speed limit and a handful of other laws to get there, but I still made it. I sighed in at the office and hobbled to first period. It was a good thing that this cast was a walking cast, or else I would have been in serious pain. I got to the door and knocked on it. The teacher opened it shakily but trying to keep her composure. "Yes Mrs. Cullen?" I nodded once as a greeting. "I'm terribly sorry about what happened yesterday, but luckily, seeing how I wasn't suspended, someone must have understood my problem." I smiled. She returned it slightly and nodded. "Your father told me of your problem. You are easily angered and are very hard to win back from that angered state." My face turned hot. I looked away and stuttered "Y-yeah. Am I allowed in?" She smiled and stepped aside.

Everyone stared at me. I walked to my seat and sat down. Mrs. Talis carried on with her lesson. I leaned back and smiled. Looking over I noticed that Jacob wasn't in his usual seat. My smile disappeared as I questioned in my head, "Is he running late?"

I carried on through all my classes hoping that I could see Jacob but he was no where. At lunch, his Posse was gone also. I sat in our usual spot though, confused. The drive home was miserable. I was tempted on asking someone where the Black residence was and giving Jacob a piece of my mind when I saw a road block. "oh no!" I growled. I slowed down as a police officer stopped and asked each driver in the car for their drivers license and registration. When he got to me I rolled down the window. Thank god it wasn't raining. "Ma'am, may I see your-"

"Yeah yeah, my license and registration." I interrupted then took them out. I was only 16 with my Junior Drivers but it was still a legal license. He looked them over. "Mayella Cullen huh?" He smiled. "Your mother Isabella Swan?" I sighed, "That was her maiden name, yeah." He handed it back to me and started to look over the registration. "Is there a reason you're doing this, officer?" I questioned, my annoyance taking the best of me. "We've had a report of a murderer taking off in a stolen car coming down from the mountains heading towards LA Push. But seeing how you are Bella's kid and you show no sign of having to have killed anyone," he looked down at my broken ankle, "Then I guess you aren't a suspect." He signaled me forward. "Tell Bella Sam said hi." I nodded then stopped. "Wait, Sam Uluey?" I practically threw myself out of the car at him. He pulled away shocked, "Yeah?" He questioned cocking an eyebrow. "You're Jacob's cousin, brother uncle thing right?" I practically screamed. He looked at me like I was nuts. "I am a relative, yes,"

I smiled, "When was the last time you spoke to him?" He backed away and sighed, "I spoke to him last night, why?" My grin widened, "He wasn't in school today, did he happen to tell you that him and his friends were going somewhere today?" his eyes narrowed as he shook his head. "No, it'd be best if you head straight home though, don't go looking for him." My heart wrenched in my chest. "Why not?" I whined. "It's too dangerous here in LA Push for people to wander alone. Head straight home and give my regards to your mother." He walked away. I slinked back in my chair and waited for the line ahead of me to start moving. I followed them slowly, reading the names on the mail boxes as I slowly inched my way down the road. About 6 miles from Sam was a mail box with rusted metal letters that read "Black" on it. Smiling I pulled into the driveway. I waited for the cars to finally pick up speed. Soon only one or two cars passed every ten to thirty minutes. I climbed out of the car and trotted up to the front door. I hesitated before knocking. Nothing. I rapped on the door again. Again, nothing.

"Jacob!" I hollered knocking one more time. I pulled away confused. He wasn't home? Maybe this wasn't the right house? Looking over, I saw a familiar sight that confirmed my first thought. His Volkswagen. This was his house, he was home. Maybe he just couldn't hear me? I stepped off his porch and inched my way into his back yard. Half of his house wasn't sided. It looked like he had just added on more to the house. The back had a patio with sliding glass doors. I looked around. For it being out in the open, it was sure dark back there. I shivered then my eye caught something. Slowly I inched around to the glass doors, sneaking up on it from an angle. The windows were tinted from the darkness of the clouds. There was something in the window though. I could see it.

I stopped about three feet away, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. I froze. There was a person standing in the doorway, a large, twisted crazed look on his face. He had teeth like a shark, his chin stained red. I started to back away, his red eyes following my every movement. Turning it vanished like a flicker of lightning. I took this as my cue to run.

I ran back towards the GT, water and mud splashing into my cast. A shattering noise that sounded like a window breaking made itself noticeable to my ears, but I didn't turn around. I knew how that worked in the movies, you take the time to turn around and look then BAM! You're dead. But one thing that I couldn't stop that also killed many people in the movies. I tripped not even 7 feet from the GT.

I screamed as a shadow zipped over me smashing into the side of the GT then entire front side of it being smashed and dented. The car flipped through the air smashing down in the middle of the road. I looked up wondering it another vehicle had hit it, but instead, standing there with the crazed look on his face was the man that had been in Jacob's house. I pushed myself so that I was sitting and began to move away from him.

He cackled, his smooth attractive voice almost mirroring that of my fathers laced with insanity. "You smell delicious my dear." He snarled, his face warping even more. Quickly I shoved myself to my feet and began to run back towards the house.

I was famous for doing that unfortunately, trapping myself in small enclosed areas. I made it to the front door, but not before he did. I screamed and wheeled around to run out towards the street. His booming cackle echoed through the trees. "Why don't you lay down for a while!"

A sharp pain snapped through my shoulder, sending me flying to the ground. I rolled over onto my back and looked down. He was walking from the porch, slowly. What was he! Sneering, he crouched and readied himself to launch himself at me. He was moving in for the kill.

Shoving off of his landing, he launched himself at me sending himself flying through the air. I screamed. My scream was interrupted by a series of gunshots, followed by a squall of loud screeches. I looked up to see the man pull away and whirl off towards the woods.

"Mayella!" a voice hollered. A man in a police uniform pulled up next to me and put his gun away. "Mayella are you alright?" He grabbed my shoulders and turned me towards him. Pain shot through my shoulder. I screamed and pulled away. "Shit," He grumbled. Grabbing his scanner he pushed the button and began to speak, "we found our murderer. He was in the middle of attacking a young girl," He hesitated, "Mayella Cullen, she's been hurt, send a full dispatch, he should be popping out somewhere near Forks." I sat there staring at him, then it hit me. I started to panic. "He was in Jacob's house! He was in there before he attacked me!! He had blood on his chin! He got Jacob!" I threw myself at him.

"Mayella, he's fine." He grabbed my waist and pushed me away, "No! He's not fine you aren't listening to me! He was in Jacob's house! There's blood on his chin! They're in there!" He shook his head, "Jacob isn't home May, he left to do some shopping in Port Angelos." I shook my head, "Then what about his father! His mother?!" I screamed. I wanted to make sure that there had been absolutely nobody in that house, but the look on his face threw me off guard. He looked, sad.

"May, he didn't tell you did he?" I cocked an eyebrow. Sighing, he was just about to say it when a bunch of police officers pulled up. "Sir, are you ok?" A younger man with dark hair asked getting out of the drivers side. He nodded. Sam stood up and held his hand out to me. "Can you stand?" He questioned. I nodded. Holding my shoulder I pushed myself to my feet. He looked down and gasped, "you were already injured?" I looked down at my cast. "yeah, that happened yesterday in school." I mused quietly. He shook his head, "Just like your mother, you're clumsy as hell, right?" he chuckled. I shook my head, "No, my mother isn't clumsy at all." He laughed, "No, but you should have seen her when she met your father, She was the clumsiest thing I have ever seen." he joked slightly messing up my hair.

I pulled away and glared at him. Retreating to one of the officers he leaned over and said something that was to low for me to hear. "Come on kiddo, we'll take you to the hospital." he called to me, the other officer walking away from him. "No!" I growled. "Don't take me to the hospital! I don't want people looking at me like I'm a disease two nights in a row!"

He laughed. Shaking his head he opened the door and signaled for me to climb in. "Fine, I'll take you home so your parents can send you to your grandfathers." I walked across the wet lawn and climbed in. He shut the door behind me and walked around to the other side of car. He climbed in and slammed the door shut. Once he started up the car and pulled out, I leaned back relaxing, trying to find a comfortable spot to rest my shoulder without the pain flaring to life. "How…how did you get there so fast? And why aren't we taking your car?" I questioned looking at him out of the corner of my eye. "If I answer your question, will you answer mine?" His eyes flashed to my face. I nodded slowly. He sighed and looked back at the road. "Well, the reason we aren't taking my car is because I don't have one." I looked at him confused. "I'm a motorcycle cop." He laughed. "Which probably explains why I got there so fast. I was driving down the road then I saw that GT come flipping out in the middle of the road." I looked down. "Can you answer mine now?" he questioned. I nodded, "what is it?"

He pulled off to the side of the road, "Why didn't you go straight home like I told you to!" He said sternly. "Because, you aren't my father, and I wasn't expecting to be attacked! I figured if I stayed in my car through most of it, then was able to get myself into Jacob's house, I was safe ok!" I replied. I looked away. My body started shaking. "You ok?" He questioned. The image of that mans face beamed through my head over and over again. Before I knew it, the car was filled with the sound of crying. Me.

"Mayella…" Sam whispered gently. "What was he!" I squealed, tears gushing down my face. Sam looked away. He did answer. "Sam!" I screamed looking at him. I was scared, but to me, my urgent demands sounded angry.

Suddenly a giant thud collided with the window behind me. I screamed and threw myself across Sam and into his door. The door opened and Jacob climbed in laughing. "Did I scare you?" He boomed. I screamed at him. I didn't even say anything when I did, I just…screamed. "Why is she all worked up? I didn't scare her that bad did I?" He questioned looking at Sam. Sam exhaled. His hand was on his gun in which my leg was on his hand. "Whoa! You weren't going to pull that out on me were you!?" Jacob questioned his eyes wide looking at the gun. I was crying into Sam's chest swearing at Jacob.

"Jake, Mayella was just attacked." Sam said carefully, trying to catch his breath. "Attacked!" Jacob hollered leaning forward towards us. Sam nodded. "By what? By Who?" He questioned. He was starting to get frantic. "By the guy we're after, which by the way, Mayella found out where you lived and her attacker was in your house, according to what she said." Jacob leaned back against the seat and rand his hand through his hair. "Oh crap, I didn't even know." He looked at me and smiled faintly, "You, found out where I lived?" I nodded. "I…wanted to find you…and punch you in the face…for not…being in school today." I sniffled. He chuckled lightly. He turned his body so that he was facing me and held his arms out. I crawled off of Sam and into Jacob's arms. On the window behind him, someone started pounding. I screamed and ripped myself out of his arms. I saw who it was and the sight pissed me off. My father.

I screamed and began to hit the window. "STOP DOING THAT!" I screamed hysterically. My father opened the door and caught me as I tumbled out. "Mayella I was worried sick about you!" He hissed. "I was so scared, I heard on the television that a young girl was attacked in LA Push, I thought it was you!" He screamed. He threw his arms around me, crushing my shoulders. I screamed and pushed away. "Mayella?" his look went from relieved to fright. "It was you!" He screamed.

Behind him, my mother came running from father Volvo. She pushed him out of the way and threw her arms around me, "Oh my god, I'm so happy you're alive." She cried. "Thank you so much for helping her Sam." He nodded. Jacob climbed out and started to walk away from the car. "Jacob!" I hollered after him. Prying myself from Bella's grip I ran towards him. He spun around and wrapped his arms around me. "You can't go home now! Not when that guy knows you live there!" He kissed the top of my head, "May, it's alright." I shook my head, "No! It's not, He was in your house! Your parents! What about them?" He pulled away, "May, I don't have parents. They aren't alive anymore." I looked at him and gasped, my hands slapping over my mouth. "You mean he already attacked and killed them!"

Jacob laughed, "No you silly little girl, They died when I was little. Sam has been taking care of me, this is the second year of living by myself." I Looked away. "I didn't know. What happened to them?" Jacob itched his head, "My father got into a car accident and my mom was sick." I nodded my head slowly. "Oh, so, you're by yourself?" He nodded. I whirled around and opened my mouth to speak but my father snapped his hand up to me and pointed, "No!" He barked before I even had the chance to ask anything. "How did you know I was going to say something like that?" I whined, "Because I'm your father and I know these things, plus, It's Jacob, we all know what you want."

I grimaced and turned to face Jacob again. He was laughing, "Sorry, I thought it would work." I grumbled. He messed my hair up and chuckled, "No sweat May, I'm fine by myself, actually, I prefer it."

I cocked an eyebrow and smiled at him, "Ah, so if I wanted to move in with you, you'd say no?" The Question threw him off guard. I could feel my father's burning glare on my back. "N-no, but your father would!" Jacob chuckled nervously. I smiled. "What about if I snuck all of my stuff out when they were gone?" I moved closer to him. He backed away. "W-well, I…" He stopped. I liked watching him get flustered. I was joking of course, my father ought to know that. "I- wouldn't they know where you were?" He stuttered. I smiled and laughed. "Just kidding Jake! God, you think I'd leave my parents to move in to your house where I could possibly become pregnant. I'm not even out of high school yet!"

The look on his face almost crushed my heart. He looked, happy. "That's a good way to think May! I'm glad you're able to see the truth behind a High school relationship." Edward walked over to us and put his hand on Jacob's shoulder. "It's a good thing to hear your side of the relationship, now, do you need a ride home?" He asked. He didn't seem enthusiastic about it either.

Jacob nodded his head, just to be on the same level with my father. "Oh, dad?" I hollered as he started to lead Jacob towards the Volvo. He turned around and looked at me, "what is it honey?" he questioned. I figured that I had to tell him about the GT before he saw it first hand. "Um…The GT? You know how you let me use it this morning?" My father turned and looked at me fully now. "Yeah," I fidgeted, "Well, it's sort of…destroyed now." His eyes widened, "What do you mean destroyed?" He half way hollered, "The guy that attacked me, kinda…broke it…in the middle of the road…with the road." My father's jaw dropped. "What do you mean?" He growled. "Let's just go look at it shall we?" I asked with a nervous smile on my face. I ran past them and collided with the side of the Volvo. I climbed in and buckled myself in, hoping that whatever was in store wouldn't get me killed.

TWILIGHT

We came back from the hospital that night, a sling was holding my cast covered shoulder in place. I slipped a disk out of place and my shoulder was fractured in many places. When we got back to the house apologized over and over again to my father for the story, and again, he said it wasn't my fault.

I slipped upstairs to get to my room. I was exhausted, and I still hadn't gotten any of my questions answered. I reached out and touched my doorknob that's when I noticed it. My light in my bedroom was on.

Carefully and slowly I opened my door and sitting there on my bed was Edward Shawn, the cause of my broken leg. I started to scream. He stood up and rushed to throw his hand over my mouth but I dodge out of his grasp. Unfortunately he grabbed my good arm and pushed me against the wall. "Ssshhh, it is alright" he whispered. "Mom!! I'M BEING RAPED!!" I screamed as loud as I could. He let me go and stepped back.

I ran down the stairs. Tripping over the couch I slid into the kitchen where my parents were. "Honey what's wrong?" My mother rushed to my side. "There's a guy in my bedroom! He tried raping me or something!" Looking back at my father she shook her head, "Hon, I think she met her gift." I stood up and moved away from her. "GIFT! My gift? What the hell are you talking about?" I snarled. "Honey, you know how before school I said it wasn't finished yet? Well, he wasn't awake so we sent you off to school. We're housing a foreign exchange student." I stopped breathing. Edward walked out next to me, a worried look on his face. "You did not tell her about me before?"

Mother chuckled nervously and itched her head, "Not really. Didn't have the time." I glared at her, "Bull, you have plenty of time." She smiled at me, "Yes, but we wanted it to be a surprise. Scoffing I retorted, "Well, how's this for my surprise? I break my arm and think I'm getting raped! Huh? Happy?"

Laying a cold hand on my shoulder Edward apologized. I snorted, "It's not your fault Edward." He smiled gently. My father looked at me curious. "You already know him?" I glared back at him, "Yeah, actually, I guess you can say he was the antagonist and the protagonist in story of my leg breaking." He looked at Edward and sighed. "Well, Mayella, time for bed, and…I'm sorry this happened to you today." My father whispered. I looked at him confused but didn't bother to question what he meant, instead, I went right upstairs and decided to go to bed.

TWILIGHT

In the morning I was accompanied by Edward in the bathroom brushing his teeth. He smiled at me as he wet his brush and applied the toothpaste. He was very thorough and had a habit of smiling at me, which caused me to smile at him in return. Finally spitting out his mouthful, he rinsed the sink and smiled at me flashing off his perfectly pearl colored teeth and dragged his arm across lips. Turning he walked out. I chuckled slightly and shook my head.

I climbed into the shower, towel dried and blow dried my hair. I straightened it and threw on a black t-shirt and a pair of dark blue. blue jeans. Throwing my hoodie on I zipped it up and went downstairs. "Mayella, can you drive Edward into school today?" My mother asked before I was able to slip out the door. "Why? He doesn't have his license?" I asked, trying not to sound rude.

He does but, he's new and from a different country. It would be nice as a member of his host family to give him a ride. I smiled, "Yeah, it would have also been nice for a member of my real family to give me a ride the first day!" I laughed. My mother turned around and with a smile on her face she chucked the hand towel at me. Laughing I nodded. "Sure, sure, Come on Edward, you can serve as my crutch until I get to Jacob." He smiled and stood up from the table and joined me by the door.

"You hungry?" My mother asked. I shook my head, "Nah, after what happened last night and the day before, my appetite has almost been completely destroyed." My mother's smile disappeared. "I'm so sorry that happened to you honey." I smiled and held up a hand, "Don't be, it wasn't your fault."

Grabbing the keys to the truck I snuck out before my mother could as any more questions or apologize even more. Edward slid into the passenger side of the truck and buckled in. I turned it on and winced at the engine was a higher pitch than the day before yesterday. "Wow, that sounds horrible." Edward commented, his teeth grinding. "It'll die down in a few minutes" I replied. Once the truck was fully warmed up, the screaming stopped. I pulled out of the driveway and slowly made my way to LA Push.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw he was smiling at me. "So, Edward, where did you come from originally?" I questioned. He sighed and looked at the road. "Italy." I looked at him and smiled, "Italy, Oooo, you have a girlfriend?" He looked away. His face didn't turn a different color, but I could tell he was blushing. "No," He sighed. "I had a girlfriend, a long time ago. She was really…nippy." He looked at me. "Is that…Jacob, your boyfriend?" He questioned. I smiled "Yeah, It happened really fast but, he is."

We pulled into the school without saying anything else. Jacob was standing by his Volkswagen. He started towards the truck until he saw I was carting another passenger. I hoped that Edward staying at my house wasn't going to get in the way of me and Jacob or worse, make the way between me and Jacob bigger.

Turning the truck off, I climbed out, Edward following my lead. "I thank you many times." He replied walking around the front of the truck. "you're welcome. Will you need a ride home after school?" I questioned. Jacob was keeping his distance, his muscles tight. "I am not sure. I will have to catch you on that. If I do, then I will wait for you by the main entrance. Is that alright?"

I stuffed the keys in my pocket and smiled at him, "Yeah, I mean, you're living with me aren't you?" Jacob stared at me a betrayed look on his face. I looked at him and progressed forward signaling Edward to follow me. "Jacob, this is-"

"Yeah I met him" He snarled. I nodded, Jacob's mood slightly pissing me off. "I was going to say more than his name." He shrugged his shoulders. "Let me guess, your new boyfriend that daddy picked out for you?" He scoffed. "No!" I shouted at him, his attitude pushing me. "If you'd let me finish instead of being a moody asshole then you'd find out!" He fell quiet, his muscles shaking violently. I didn't care anymore about his guilt trips, at least not today.

"Edward is a foreign exchange student from Italy and he's staying with us for the semester." Jacob looked down. A faint smile replaced his lips as his muscles died down. "so, you have to be nice to him?" He looked up. "Does that mean I have to be?" I glared at him. "Jacob, why do you hate him so much? Can you smell that he isn't from around here or something?" I shook my head. Edward started to walk past us, "I can smell what he is, and it smells horrible." Edward whispered quietly. Jacob lunged at him and slammed him against the pavement.

"Jacob!" I screamed throwing myself at him, remembering the story he told me of the boy he put into traction. Jacob continuously punch Edward in the face. Everyone in the parking lot was in a group crowded around to see the fight and I was helplessly in the middle of everything. I could see Seth jumping up and down cheering on Jacob. Jared and Paul shared a look of concern but Quil and Embry threw their fists in the air cheering.

I began to feel claustrophobic as the crowd cheered for Jacob. Throwing my hands to my head I screamed as loud as I could. I whirled around and began to push people out of my way. There were even people behind my truck. Climbing in, I turned the truck on and screamed out the window, "Move or I'll run your stinking flesh bags over!"

The squealing of the engine stopped the fight and the cheering. I slammed on the gas pedal and the needle bounced up over the 50 mph mark. The engine sputtered and thankfully, it was enough to get me out of there as fast as possible. I didn't head home though. I traveled on past LA Push school to a beach where the truck finally died.

I climbed out and screamed hitting the giant dumpster on wheels. "How could you die on me now!" I screamed at it. Rain began to fall down heavily. I shivered as the temperature dropped. Reaching forward, I grabbed the handle to climb back in but it wouldn't open. I jiggled it viciously then threw myself against the window. "NO!" I screamed. The locks on both sides of the truck were locked. I reached into my pockets for the keys. Nothing. Looking at the ignition, I saw them hanging from their keychain. "YOU-" I pulled away and grabbed two big fist fulls of my hair and pulled, screaming. "You idiot! How did you leave the damn keys in the damn car you friggin' retard!"

I let go, the pain becoming almost to unbearable, my broken arm started to get sore. I crossed my arms and looked around. I looked around and sniffled. I spotted an opening in the woods and thought that it would be a bad idea to go in. Fortunately, to change my mind, God poured a bathtub on me. I swore under my breath and turned towards the opening, seeking dryness.

I continued to walk through the opening and decided to explore a little. A famous disease in the family. Explore everything you haven't seen before.

I traveled over everything between rocks and fallen trees, well, fell over them really. I was almost getting mad enough to head back until it broke open into a clearing. Another smaller, private beach. I stood in the opening. The rain wasn't terrible here, but what did it matter? I was already soaked.

Walking out, I spotted a fallen tree. I sighed and walked over to it. It was like a bench, really. I sat on it and looked out over the water. I shivered, my hair dripping. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a carving in the trunk of the tree. "I love you Bella Swan, always will. Jacob Black." I looked at it and remembered Jacob Black senior tried to break my dad and my mom up when they were younger, but my mother failed to tell me that they died when Jacob was a little boy.

Hearing a ruffling noise coming through the clearing, I pushed down on the log and looked, frightened that it was the man that attacked me the other day. Jacob pushed himself through the brush. "Mayella?" I looked away. I didn't want to see him right now…or did I? This was the time to get the truth. I smiled at him. "Jake." He walked over to me and sat down next to me. "I'm sorry I beat up on your…exchange student." He mumbled. I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder. If felt good to be so close to him, especially when I was so cold.

"Jake?" he looked down at me, "Yeah?" I moved in closer to him. "What was your fathers name?" he sighed and twirled his thumbs. "My father's name was Billy, why?" I pulled away shock on my face. "what?" he asked then his expression changed to fear. "Billy? My mother said-"

"Jacob Black! His name was Jacob Black!" I shook my head, "no! That's not what you said." I stood up and moved away from him. "That's what my parent's said your father's name was. Jacob Black, but how did you know?" That's when I noticed, the same color, the way he looked at me, the occasional whimper. JB. Jasper Blake. My mother said the wolfs name was. His initials were JB. Blake. Black…My eyes grew wide. JB went missing when I started to hang out with Jacob. JB was found near…

I started for the opening in the woods. "Mayella!" somehow Jacob had covered that distance between us. I whirled around. "You're JB" I muttered. He pulled away. He muttered something and started to pace back and forth. "First of all, I don't know what the hell a JB is." I moved forward, "Don't lie to me! You're a wolf!" I screamed. "A wolf! You think I'm a wolf? I'm not some, shape shifter May!" He hollered back. "No! But you could be a werewolf! And the reason the Cullen's can't go into LA Push is because they're…vampire's." I looked at him. "May! Do you realize how retarded you sound? Your parents aren't Vampire's, I'm not a Werewolf! JB was probably just some random mutt!" I looked away. He scoffed, "you're so retarded!" he snarled. I stomped back to the log and pointed. "Then what is that!" I screamed at him. He walked over and started to read. The look on his face made it look like he was kicked in the balls.

"Huh! What is it!" I screamed louder. He pushed his palms to his head and started to shake. "I…did that." He shook. I nodded, biting my bottom lip. "You? You had a thing for my mother? How old are you?" He shook even harder. "Older…than you…think I…am." His pressure on his head increased. "Give me an exact age!" I screamed. He lashed out and shoved me. I stumbled over a root and fell, my pride shattering. I laid there for a few minutes, the tears begging to come out. I sat up and looked around. Jacob was gone. I started crying.

What had I been thinking? Why did I want to make him so mad? Would I ever be able to see him again? I didn't know, but right now, there was a worse problem I had to deal with, how to get home and….My Parents.
