A/N- I only own myself :P SM owns all that other stuff but, pfftt no big deal I mean who cares about a couple vampires and werewolves pft- no biggie :P

Alix POV

I woke up the following morning to an empty bed. Rejected was my first thought but before I could dwell on it I spotted a flash of pink in my peripheral vision- it was a sticky note. It read:

Love, I had to leave early this morning for a hunt.

I love and miss you,
Edward xxx

I smiled and kissed the note. Although it was an odd gesture I felt like he knew I would do- despite his sister envisioning it by watching my future. I rolled over to my bedside table to check my messages.

Hey Alix, feel like going book shopping with me today? Text me back x – Angie

Yo girl, feel like going to my party tonight- call me about it? – Mike

Alix, are you avoiding me? You shouldn't have to I get that you are dating Edweirdo just call me? – Jakers xxx

I let out an exasperated sigh. He had to just be so wonderful didn't he? I knew he liked me and was not okay- especially since he called Edward a name. He was being childish about it- but at 14 he is allowed I guess. Jesus- I messed this up somehow massively. Holding a pillow to my face I screamed into it, releasing my pent up stress slightly.

When did my life get so hard? Oh yeah, it might have been when I began to date the notoriously hot Edward Cullen who just so happens to be a vampire with his entire family- just a suggestion though... Don't get me wrong I am ecstatic with how my relationship is going and I love him with all my heart more than I have ever loved before but I hate that to be with him I have to cut Jacob out of my life. It isn't like Edward said "You can't see him!" But I know that they don't get on and how Jake is acting about my dating him right now, calling him names, just tells me instantly that he will just be pathetic about it and I don't need that right now.

I'm just being stupid about the whole thing- if Jacob really wanted to talk to me he would have come over since I am clearly avoiding all contact- can't avoid him when he stood on my doorstep. I had been so distracted by Jakers' message I missed the chance to mock Mike's ghetto language- where does he think he is from? The Bronx?

Severely satisfied with my mocking of Mike's... interesting language choices I left my room to shower and change into my lounging clothes. I also texted Ang saying that maybe later I would have to check my monetary situation. She sent back a 'lol' and told me to text her when I was ready.

With my hair dried and wavy I meandered down the staircase to hear movement in the kitchen. I rounded the corner through the archway to spot Daniel. "Jesus!" I yelled him doing something very similar. "Where is Jen? Did not expect to see you stood there." I laughed before grabbing an apple.

"She went baby browsing." He explained and I frowned.

"You didn't go with? You know that kid is gonna be half yours right?" He chuckled before flipping 2 chocolate chip pancakes.

He turned to look me in the eye. "Honestly? I couldn't care less about the clothes he or she sleeps in or the colour of the walls and playpen it resides in when it is not in either one of our arms. What matters is the health and name of the baby!" He joked before turning off the heat and plating up the pancakes. "Glad you came down really I am always afraid to wake you when I make breakfast!"

The plate was placed in front of me then and I was so excited. I could see tiny pieces of chocolate oozing out of the cocoons the melted goo was contained in. The smell- intoxicating me in a chocolaty coma of awesome. I almost couldn't bear it when from the cupboard emerged the chocolate sauce, whipped cream and strawberries. "Oh my god- you babe! If you cook like this every day screw it! Be the biggest prick on earth I will be blind sighted by your food!"

Daniel rubbed the back of his neck in bashfulness before pointing out that I had yet to taste. "Don't praise me just yet."

Picking up my knife and fork and cut a delicate triangular shape from the perfect circle before putting a blob of cream, a chunk of strawberry and drenching it in the luscious sauce that was pooling on the plate where the pancake did not reach. I popped it into my mouth and let the food moan leak out of my voice box. Pure heaven was residing in my mouth right now. "What the balls did you do to this? I have never tasted nicer food- ecstasy is fun and all but don't use it to one up your cooking!" I laughed and he scratched his neck again.

"Why thank you." He cut a large chunk from his and shovelled it in.

I let a raspy laugh as I watched him chew like a combine harvester does to the ground. "Of course, you don't have your own opinion; do you even taste your food?"

He mumbled with his mouth full before waiting and swallowing it down. "I guess I am just so used to it that it doesn't taste that amazing anymore."

"Blasphemy, this food is brilliant." I wonder what made him not do this for a living. "Hey, Dan why do you nurse instead of cook- you would dominate in chef land."

Daniel shrugged. "I don't know, I guess I just never saw this as a viable career- if I forget one recipe or I make one bad meal I am ruined and tarnished for life because I would be 'that' chef." More food. "So when you nurse- mistakes are allowed to be made because you can't always help people have the perfect recovery."

"Wow, I never knew that about you. I wonder why?" I pondered before putting more of that haven into my mouth and chewing it slowly, savouring all of the taste.

"I guess it is because we don't talk. You tend to come home from a date, say hi then race up the stairs to sleep- how are you always sleepy?" I guess I looked awkward and uncomfortable because he suddenly changed subject. "How's school?"

"Jesus is it that bad to have a conversation with me properly?" He just shrugged and looked at me. "Let me start it- how are things with you and my sister?"

I spotted him smile to himself. He was happy just to be with her- and with the baby on the way he should be. "Things are... great being honest."

"That's awesome for you. Hey, um, how did you two meet Daniel- never heard the story." I had now finished my breakfast and was cleaning up the dishes.

He motioned for me to sit down on the couch in the living room and he sat across from me. All of a sudden it felt like I was in trouble rather than hearing a story I had yet to hear before. "Well when I first met your sister it was a few years back when I was still putting myself through Med School. I was working part time in this little cafe in Seattle. Your sister came in one day with a friend and I took their orders. She looked at me, I looked at her and I guess we got talking on my break." I could just picture them sitting down and talking till closing time. "In the end I asked for her number and she said it would be long distance after a month as she was house hunting with your mother. She went back to their hotel and we talked all night over the phone. We went out every night and she went house hunting every day effectively spending every free waking minute with one another."

"I told her how much I had hated the small town life in North Carolina where I had lived- everyone already knew you and judged you before you even got to plead your case. 'Like vultures' was the analogy I used. I said I would never look back to that town- worst time of my life. She told me about your mom and dad and said she doesn't like to stay in one place for too long at the fear of falling under a bunch of crap. She also said there was a chance that once she moved she wouldn't love me because of... well, your mom and dad falling out of it. She didn't believe."

"Just a while ago we were sat on that couch saying how we could barely believe it, how we could see that moment where we are happy." I was so enthralled by hearing something not from my sister's point of view I was leaning my face on my knuckles as my elbows rested on the arm.

"What was your first date like?"

I talked with Dan for hours about him and my sister. I learnt so much and I was almost jealous about all the stuff they did until Edward popped into my head. His face making me smile and I was broken out of my reverie by Dan's boisterous laugh. "Thinking about your darling Edward?" He mocked making kissy faces.

"Hey!" I paused. "You look like that when Jen so much as looks at you, so don't mock me brother we are in the exact same love sick boat!" We were silent looking at each other before we burst into hysterics. "That was so lame- but, so true! We have got it bad!"

I looked at the time and it said 2 o'clock. Balls, Angela will be mad at me.

Hey Ang, sorry I forgot about texting you back. Still up for the book shopping? X –Alix

Sure thing, I have just been reading books anyway xD Did you get invited to Mike's party? He was talking to me like he was a rap artist! X –Angie

Oh good god I know ha-ha! The boy sure knows how to make me giggle but I am going to give his party a miss- I always end up looking after the drunk anyway. So do you want a ride or should I drive straight into town? X –Alix

Ride please! :D x –Angie

There in 10 :) x –Alix

I told Dan to tell my mum where I was going and that I would be back for 10 or half 10 at the very latest.

Jake POV

I cannot believe that leech blocked me! He fucking blocked me! I was close to not only building up the courage to ask her out but to getting her to say yes too and he just swoops in like he owns the fucking girl and takes her from me. Right. From. Under. My. NOSE. God I just want to break the treaty right now and rip his stupid face from his marble body. Asswipe thinks he can steal my girl? I don't fucking think-

SHUT THE HELL UP DUDE! We are trying to patrol here. We don't need the running commentary of how a vamp cock blocked you damnit! Paul screamed at me through the mind link. I get it, it hurts, but killing him and starting a war will only end with her in tears hating your guts. All the wolves stopped and looked at Paul. Yeah, I can be deep!

It is for the best. If you got with her and found your imprint it would crush her.Sam put out a good argument but I saw her first! He will only kill her anyway. Bite her and drain her when he feels she has done her purpose of fucking him senseless. It shouldn't be long for her to cave and let him... defile her.

Isn't that what you have been thinking about ever since you met her? How curvy she is and hot and how her boobs would feel? Since when did he become a fucking genius. Shut the hell up Paul! I phased out of my wolf form and put my shorts back on.

"I don't have to sit here and listen to you all tell me not to fight for the woman I love!" I didn't even sense Sam phase but sure enough the booming sound of an alpha voice coursed through me forcing me to obey his command.

"Jacob- as long as he is here you are to stay away from her. When she calls you send it to voicemail, when you see her you ignore her and when she tries to talk to you, you must walk away and leave her calling for you." I went rigid. He just forced me to leave her be as long as that... leech is around. "You cannot make him leave either- he must do it by his own choice."

Fuck. I am helpless.

So another chapter of babble is done xD I do apologise for my unbelievably lacking writing recently because I am just trying to get up to the gem-like ideas I have had brewing for like over a year xD Thank you for reading thus far and please review it is sad that my chapter amounts are almost exceeding my reviews :P 3 xxx
