I would say that I was shocked to see Jacob and Bella there but by the way that Jacob was acting earlier in my house, I wasn't. 'Why does he keep popping up on me? I just don't understand what is so wrong about the Cullen's. And why is Bella with him?'

"Jacob! What the hell are you doing here?"

"Edward! What are you doing with her? We just had a fight! It's not like we broke up." Bella said in a very upset voice. It almost sounded like she was about to cry; I kind of felt bad for her.

"Bella, it's not like LK and I are dating. She came up here to hang out with Alice. Alice is the one that invited her, not me. Before you go making assumptions, I would suggest getting all the facts." Edward responded.

"Well Jacob said that you two were going out on a date."

"Jacob, why would you say that?" I asked him.

"Cause that what it seemed like to me. I thought you liked me, LK." He replied.

"Jacob, this has nothing to do about me liking you. You should know that I do like you. This has to do with me wanting to make friends in town; I still am the token new kid, you know? I'm sorry if you don't approve of me coming up here but I thought I could make these kind of decisions on my own." I shot back.

"LK, what did I tell you about these things? They are vampires! They are very dangerous!" He yelled at me.

"Jacob, you don't need to be telling lies about people! That's not a way to get me to stop hanging out with them."

"Lily Katherine." I hear Carlisle cut in so I turn around to face him and Esme. "What Jacob is telling you is the truth. We are a family of vampires. All of us. We call ourselves vegetarians since we no longer live off of human blood so there is no reason for you to be alarmed."

At this point Edward cuts in, "But what Jacob isn't telling you is that he's a werewolf and just as dangerous."

"I … I …" my stomach is turning and I need to get out of here so I make a run for the door.

"LK! Come back! You're so far away from your house!" Jacob came running after me.

I stop and turn around on my heel and glare at him. "You're a werewolf? Really Jacob? What else don't I know about you? And you Edward!" As I notice him and Bella standing outside, "You had several chances to tell me and you chose not to. What's up with that?"

"LK, it's really not that easy to tell someone that you're a vampire or, in Jacob's case, a mutt." When Edward calls Jacob a mutt Bella elbows him in the stomach causing him to grunt. "You have to understand that most people shun people like us."

I sighed and looked between Jacob and Edward and then I remember Bella is standing there, too.

"Bella, how did you find out about all of this?"

"I umm figured Edward's out pretty quickly on my own but with Jacob I just happened to find out when he and another one of the guys changed."

"OK. I think I need some time to think. I need to take a walk."

"Do you mind if I come with you?" Jacob asked.

"I don't mind. Some company might be nice and I feel like you and I have some things to talk about. Edward, do you mind? Oh and Alice! Can you tell her that I'm sorry and that we'll get together soon?"

"You two get going and don't worry about Alice. I'll take care of her. Be safe you two, you never know what's out there."

"Thanks Edward. And you too, Bella. Having you here made things a little bit umm easier. See you both later."

We turned and started walking down the road; there was an anxious silence between the two of us. I had so much that I wanted to say but I really didn't know where to begin. As we were walking, me being the klutz that I am, I tripped over something in the road but Jacob caught me before I could fall.

"Thanks, Jake. It seems like you're always saving me."

"I'll always be here to save you."

After that, we both got quiet again until we both spoke at the same time. "I'm sorry …"

"Lily Katherine, let me go first. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner. Looking back on it, I should have done that. You're someone that I know I can trust but when I was thinking about telling you about that side of me, I just got scared that you would look at me like a freak."

"Jacob, I would never think of you like that. You know me. I like you because of everything that you are not just small parts of you. I'm just sorry about how I reacted. I could have and should have handled that whole thing better than I did. I mean, I never thought that all of this could exist and then I'm being told that the guy that I have a crush on is a werewolf and that my new friends are all vampires. I just didn't know what to think and I should have acted differently. I'm just so sorry about how I reacted." I rambled on.

"Wait, could you rewind that for me real quick and repeat what you just said?" Jacob said with a slight smile on his face.

"What part? That I'm sorry? Jake, I can't say it enough about … "

Jacob cut me off, "No, I meant the part about the guy that you have a crush on. Who might that be?"

I could feel my face turning bright red as I said, "Oh. That part. Yeah, I mean, you're all right."

He laughs, "Yeah, well, you're not so bad yourself. So, uh, you want to go out sometime?"

"How about now? I mean my evening plans did kind of get canceled when this wolf came bursting in." I said with a smile on my face.

"Sounds like a plan!" Jacob said as he grabbed my hand and we kept walking to town.

'So, what started off as a pretty crappy evening turned out to be quite good. I hope Edward and Bella are working through things. I'll have to call him later.'
