HI! Finally back! Jeesh, I thought I was never going to get a new computer and it was never going to work, but nevertheless, I'm back, typing, and my computer has not crashed on me yet, so I'm very VERY proud of it.

I'm a little peeved though, because my computer had to be ordered in which is why it took so freaking long, and of course, in the back of my mind I was like, "HURRY THE -BLEEP- UP! I HAVE STORIES TO UPDATE!" But of course, they never understand or give a crap about that, so my computer was very very slow, but it is here now, and has been set up for . . . twenty four hours and eighty minutes, I believe. YAY!

AND I also started school on the 30th, so now I have something to look forward to every day of the week. Personally, I just want to drop out and say screw this, but I'm not going to because I need my education to become whatever I want to become, which in this stage of my life I want to become a vetranauthorchaser. (Vet author crossed with a storm chaser.) I WARN YOU, MATH IS HORRIBLE!

But yaaaaa.

I also just want to say that I think this chapter is horrible. I had to write it, edit it, rewrite it, bang my head against a wall, edit it, REWRITE IT AGAIN and it still hasn't come out they way I want it. DAMN IT!

But aside from that, I hope you all like the chapter!

OMG 92 reviews! I love you guys so so so so so so so so so much! Thank you, really, !

ONWARD LIKE A HERD O' TURTLES!

Playlist For Chapter:

You're My Angel - Darren Styles
Candy Man - Aqua

Ivy's eyes went extremely wide, and her lips trembled. "Oh, oh, oh." Her already pale skin went even paler, and she looked as if she had just swallowed some sort of strange tasting bug.

I squeezed Nikki's hand back, and gulped down my thoughts about Seth that were slowly starting to surface again. How hot Seth was . . . how understanding, sweet and caring Seth was . . . how he, Embry and Paul just fit in with Ivy and Nikki and I oh so well. . . . Of course, I knew my thoughts were utterly crazy. I mean, just the same thing with Nikki and Ivy, but my thoughts were completely . . . stupid, strange.

Though Nikki's and Ivy's thoughts were probably the same way.

Nikki and Paul were perfect for each other; both short-tempered, both food loving, both very out spoken. I knew for a fact that they belonged together, and if they weren't going to be together that somehow I would have to force them together.

And even though Ivy had never said it, both Nikki and I knew that Ivy felt the same way about Embry; it was just so noticable with them, for Embry kept staring at Ivy like he was seeing his personal sun, his own light, and Ivy looked back at him with a confused puppy-love stare, like she knew that Embry felt the way he did.

Why did we feel like this? Was this normal? Did the boys feel the same way? Was love at first sight true? What the hell was wrong with us? Were we still mentally sound? Were we still normal?

Waves of strange relief, daft worry and wonder made my hands shake and my toes numb. "Nikki," I whispered thoughtfully. "I . . . I feel the same way."

The look Nikki then gave me was a fix of comical disgust and intense agreement. It made me feel like someone actually understood what I was going through and what I was feeling. "But you feel for Seth, right? You guys stare at each other like you've just seen the light."

My heart started to pound as I slowly nodded, gulping as I looked over at the mob of males who were still around Paul, but then all seemed to be talking in that strange, liquid tone. I whipped my head back to look at Nikki again, who was grinning like she won some sort of lottery, and Ivy, who was still pale, but slowly nodding, like she was starting to understand even more then before.

"Okay, no one speaks of this until we get back to Forks," Nikki said as she looked too, and she saw that the group was slowly starting to break up. "Right?"

"Right," Ivy agreed softly.

"Yup," I responded as we let go of Nikki's hands, and we turned to face the males.

Seth slowly made his way to my side, where he whispered in my ear, "Sorry, Renny."

Embry was at Ivy's side, and Ivy looked up at him with her sky blue eyes, and they seemed to be staring at each other males kept whispering and Jared–well, the one I thought was Jared–kept flashing looks at us.

Paul broke through all of his friends, his russet face taunt and his eyes glimmering with . . . oh sweet peanuts, was he going to cry? "Nikki, I'm so–"

Nikki broke in, her face almost mirroring his. She looked as weak as a newborn kitten. "–Sorry! I didn't mean anything I said and I was being such a bitch and I didn't even know what the hell I was saying and–"

"–And I'm such an ass and I shouldn't have even yelled at you in the first place and I should just shut up some days and I talk and babble too much and–"

"–I don't know how to control my temper and why do I even bother?"

They both stopped, realizing that they were speaking at the same time. They both blinked a few times before Nikki stepped forward. Her face was very calm, and it looked like she was ready to take a punishment of some type. She sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Paul, that I was such a bitch."

"And I'm sorry that I was such a fuck head." Paul smiled, all traces of anger gone from his face.

Ivy looked at me, and I shrugged in return. Was it really that simple to just make up with a person?

Ah hell, what did I know anymore anyway?

The silence dragged on and on until the one I thought was Jared said, "So, are you six still coming or what?"

It seemed like a stupid question to ask, but I had to agree with him. After that fight, who knew if they were going to kill each other or not.

The other male, Sam, I assumed, was already half way up the beach, as if the whole Paul-and-Nikki ordeal hadn't even happened.

Embry grinned a frazzled grin at Ivy, and he grabbed her hand, and her face went cherry red. "Ya, you're right! It's gonna start pretty quick! C'mon!" And with that, Embry began to tug Ivy along, excitedly explaining what was going to happen and what was going on.

"And off they go like a herd o' turtles," Nikki said, motioning to them. "They look so happy and peaceful. . . . I'm going to go terrorize them." Nikki then started running after them, red hair flying, and Paul grinned, obviously happy that he and her were now friends again, as he started after her.

I shook my head, just grinning. Ivy was still Ivy, and Nikki was still Nikki, as if this whole thing with the hot Quileute's and the grocery store and the fight had never happened. It almost amazed me some days that they didn't really think, because they didn't really think about why this was happening.

I didn't either, so why was I being a hypocrite?

"You ready?" Seth asked me as we started to walk up after my friends; Embry was running with Ivy as Nikki and Paul were a head of them, almost disappearing up the beach.

"Ready as I'll ever be," I laughed nervously.

I still don't really like it, but I guess it's a chapter and at least it isn't that horribly written. I think.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR READING AND REVIEWING AND ALL THAT JAZZ! I LOVE YOU ALL!
