My alarm went off at 10 o'clock. I usually didn't hear it so I must have been sleeping really light or something. I was exhausted. I had only gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep yesterday and then I had to take Bella to the hospital. Which I didn't get back from until after 2am but I had to get up and get in the shower. I told Cassie I would be at her house by noon and she lived in Port Angeles so I had a little time to linger. I took a cold 15 minute shower. I couldn't get the image out of my head from the dream I had yesterday. I thought the cold water might clear my head. It helped some but every now and them it would makes its way back into my thoughts. I made myself an omelet and sausage for breakfast. Dad was always at Sue's I actually think they are secretly dating. But as far as I was concerned if they were they could just keep it a secret.

After I was done eating I got a plain black t-shirt and a pair of jeans to wear. It was 10:45 when I got changing and I decided to call Bella to see how she was doing. The phone rang 3 or 4 times before she answered.

"Hello." She said.

"Morning Bells, How are you feeling?"

"I'm good. I still have a slight headache and a really nasty bruise has formed but I will live."

"Yeah sorry about that. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be in the hospital right now."

"Jake, you were having a bad dream you couldn't help it and come on it is me after all. I'm not exactly graceful. I would have ended up going to the hospital for hurting myself soon enough."

"Well yeah I guess your right." I said laughing.

"Thanks Jake." Bella said as she began laughing to.

"Well I am glad you are doing good. I hate to cut this conversation short but I have to go met Cassie so I will talk to you later."

"Okay. Well have fun today. Thanks for calling. Bye Jake love you."

"Love you too Bells. See you soon. Bye." I said. I headed out the door and started on my way to see Cassie. She could always make my day brighter. I arrived at her house at exactly 12:00. I walked up to the door and knocked. I heard her say come in. As I entered the house I looked around the open living room but did not see her. "I'm in the kitchen." she said and I went in there to greet her.

"Hey beautiful." She said smiling as she walked toward me abandoning what she was doing before.

"Aren't I supposed to say that?" I said smiling back at her as I took her into my arms.

"Probably. But if you said it now you would just be coping off me." She said still smiling. I leaned down to give her a kiss. She kissed me lightly back.

"I missed you." She said in between kisses.

"I missed you too." I said as we walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"So did you get any sleep last night?"

"Yeah I got some. Enough."

"That good."

"Yeah."

"You Jake, the movie doesn't start for 2 hours." She said as she climbed into my lap.

"Yeah." I said as I pulled her closer, so close that our lips were almost touching.

"And I know I had the day all planned out and we were going to have picnic and everything but why don't we just stay here at the house instead." She said as she kissed my neck. I let out a small growl making her smile. I didn't have to say anything I just pulled her lips back to mine and started kissing her passionately. I laid back without breaking our kiss. We finally pulled away from lack of oxygen. I kiss her neck and she let out a soft moan which made me smile. She pulled my lips back to hers. My hand started sliding up under her shirt to her toned but not to toned stomach. She pulled away to pull my shirt off me. My hands slide around to her back my hand traveled up her back but as soon as I felt the scares that I had left I swear my heart stopped. I pulled away from her. She knew instantly why I had.

"Jacob. Please stop."

"What?"

"You know what."

"It's just hard. It was my fault." I said turning my head away from her.

"You know what?"She said putting her hand to my face and turning it back to look at her." I am glad this happened." I couldn't believe she was saying this. I was about to interrupt her but she stopped me. "Let me finish. If this wouldn't have happened who knows if we would still be together. I would have probably thought you were cheating on me because you would have to leave all the time. I mean it would have been awesome if you imprinted on me but that didn't happen. And if this was the only way we could be together I would take the scars any day. They don't bother me. The only thing that bothers me is when I see you beating yourself up over it. You have to forgive yourself sometime Jake."

"I don't deserve you." I said looking down at her hands that were now wrapped in mine.

"Yes you do." She said leaning into me. She kissed my neck and then my lips. I ran my fingers through her hair. She started kissing with more force. My hands began moving down to her waist when I heard something outside. I pulled away again.

"What's wrong Jake?" She said breathless.

"Someone is here."

"So, they will go away." She said as she begin kissing me again. As much as I hated to I got up off the couch.

"No they wont. I can here your brother voice. Leah is with him."

"Gosh. Why does he always have the worst timing." She said as she fixed her hair as I put my shirt back on. A few seconds later the door bell rang. I sat back down on the couch knowing that Coop would more then likely just let his self in. I was right. Coop and Leah walked into the house. I guess my sensitive hearing come in handy more then I realized.

"Hey Cassie,Jake." Coop said as he walked in and sat down in one of the two chairs in the living room. Leah took the other. Leah had imprinted on Coop a year ago. So she moved to Port Angeles to be closer to him. Coop fell for her immediately. Coop was 25 he was a doctor. For some reason he didn't like me very much. I couldn't put my finger on it but I thought maybe Leah had told him how madly deeply in love I was with Bella. But why wouldn't he have told Cassie if that was the case. I guess he was just being a protective older brother. In some way's he was like a dad to her. There dad died when she was 16 and Coop took over as guardian. Cassie was the same age as me 19(according to my birth certificate anyways.)She had a lot more going for her then I did. She owned and ran the family restaurant Steele.

"So what are you two doing today?" I heard Leah ask which pulled me out of my thought.

"We were actually going to go see a movie at 2:00." Cassie said.

"Oh really, Which one?"

"Either Stolen or Watch Me Watch You."

"Oh. That cool. We are going down to La Push to see my mom and everyone else."

"Are you coming to the bonfire next weekend?" I asked.

"I am. Coop has to work." Leah said.

"There's not anyway you could take off Coop?" Cassie asked

"Unfortunately no. One of the doctors is going on vacation and they schedule me to work. I wish I could though."

"So is there any particle reason you come by today?" Cassie asked.

"Oh yeah. Do you have that old glass bowl with the flowers on it."

"Grandma's old china bowl?"

"Yeah. If you do have it do you mind if I use it today. We are having lunch with Sue and I promised to make dad's famous Chinese Chicken Salad. Sue loves it."

"Yeah let me go get it." Cassie said as she walked into the kitchen. We sat there in silence until my phone rang making all of us jump. I looked down to see that it was Sam. Great. What does he want?

I answered the phone.

"Yeah."

"Hey Jake sorry to bother you but I need you now. There has been more killings. Two hikers were found."

"Sam, man can you just take this one without me?"

"No. I need everyone here. You know the pack comes first."

"Really? You going to call Leah to?" I said in a bitter tone. Leah looked at me confused.

"Jake stop it. Leah chose to leave I couldn't and wouldn't make her stay."

"You sure as hell don't have a problem making the ones who haven't imprinted stay." I said as Cassie walked back into the room. "Look I will be there as soon as I can." I hung up without hearing his response.

"Who was that Jacob?" Leah asked.

"Sam."

"What did he want?"

"He needs me to come back. There have been more killings and he want the entire pack on this."

"I'm sorry Cass." I said as I looked up at here to see her looking disappointed.

"It's okay Jake. I know you have obligations. It's okay really."

"No its not okay. I should be able to spend one day with my girlfriend. Without any calls saying we need you to come patrol or some other crap."

"Well you know the way to solve the problem don't you?" Leah said.

"How's that Leah?" I said in a harsh tone.

"Leave the pack."

"You know what. I might just do that. I'm sorry Cassie, but I have to go. I will call you later." I said as I kissed her with maybe a little to much force. And ran out of the house. I could get there faster if I phased but that was not an option with Cassie being so close. I made it to my car and started it. When I saw Cassie running toward me.

"Jacob wait." She said as she stopped in front of the drivers side window.

"What,Cass?"

"Your not serious about leaving the pack are you?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Jacob there your family."

"Your my family to. And I never get to spend time with you because of this." She just smiled at me.

"What?"

"It's just that is the first time I have heard you say I was family. That's sweet."

"Cass, if you don't know by now that I think of you as a part of my family I am obviously not doing a good job as your boyfriend of a year and a half."

"Jake you are the best boyfriend I have ever had. I wouldn't change anything." I smiled at her. "Seeing as we are family can I give you some advice?"

"Yeah."

"Cool off before you make any major decisions."

"Okay." I said knowing she was right. I just needed to cool off. She leaned in through the window and kissed me on the lips. "I better be going."

"Okay. Oh and Jake." She whispered into my ear. "You can always come back here after your patrol. Maybe we could finish what we started early." And then she kiss my neck softly. This made me smile.

"Your mean, you are so mean." I said with a smile.

"You better go."

"Yeah." I gave her a peck on the lips. "I love you."

"I love you too. Be careful."

"I will." I said as I backed out of the drive way.
