Author's Note – Hey lovely readers! I am so sorry that I haven't been around to update this in a while! I've had a bit of writer's block … so annoying! Anyway, here is a new chapter and I hope you like it! And as always, please review! Xxoo!

Who would have ever thought that I would be waling hand in hand with Jacob! If you had asked me that first day on the beach, I would have laughed in your face. Super hunky Jacob Black and itty bitty Lily Katherine, such a joke! I cannot help but smile to think about where we are now.

"You are mighty deep in thought," Jacob stated.

"Yeah, sorry. Lot's to think about right now. But I was actually thinking back to the first day that I met you on the beach. I instantly had a crush on you." I replied.

"Really? And here I was thinking that you had a thing for Quil. I was so jealous of that little guy."

"Ok, number one, Quil is not a little guy and you should be nicer to him, he's been a good friend to me. Number two; you had nothing to be jealous of. He's been such a great friend to me since I have gotten here. I thought that you didn't like me the way that you were acting at first. And then that whole thing with the Cullen's and your 'You may not hang out with them' speech, I was thinking that I wasn't good enough for your friends."

"Oh Little LK, if you only knew what was running through my mind when I heard that you were hanging out with them. I thought that I was going to lose you to them just like I lost Bella to them."

"Lost Bella? What do you mean? Were you and Bella a thing?"

"I wouldn't exactly call us a thing. I mean we used to hang out almost everyday. We rebuild a couple of motorcycles and just were, you know?"

"Yeah sure. I know." I quietly replied. "What happened then? Why don't you two hang out any more?"

"She and Edward got together and the rest of us were like history to her. We all still miss having her around. I mean yes, she is kind of dark but she's really fun too. It's interesting how different you two are."

"Different good or different bad?" I ask.

"Different good. You are like this little ball of energy and spark and laughs that just keeps going and going. You are our little energizer bunny."

"Haha! My friends back home used to say that about me too. I can't help the fact that I'm energetic all the time. Katie and Lauren used to tell people that I had a direct IV line of coffee that I used every morning. At first, some people actually believed them but then they realized that they were both just kidding." I said laughingly.

I really did miss all of my friends from back home. Yes, we Skype all of the time and my poor dad has to deal with my phone bill but it's not the same as seeing them day in and day out. Thankfully I have made such great friends here that it makes missing them so much at little bit easier.

"Your friends sound really funny." Jacob said. "I wish I could meet them. I feel like that the people that you are friends with says a lot about who you are as a person."

"They are really great! There's Katie who is like super smart and quirky and Lauren who is just your stereotypical southern belle, Tommy is really funny and he tries to play the 'dumb jock football' thing up but what he doesn't mention is that he's acing AP Physics, and Caleb is going to be the President one day. He has been our Class President since we could have one. They all have hearts of gold. I just really miss them." I almost got all teary-eyed when talking about them.

"They sound really great, LK. I know you miss them a lot but you have all of the guys down at the Rez plus all of your friends from school."

"AND don't forget the Cullen's, Jacob."

"Oh. Yeah. And the Cullen's."

"Look, I know you don't like them but I do. Esme is such a sweet woman and she reminds me so much of my mom. And Alice, well, it's always been just me in my family and having her around is like having that sister that always puts her nose into somewhere that it doesn't belong and I've always wanted that. Rosalie needs to lighten up a bit but I can see us becoming friends. I really want you to cool off on them and just let us be friends."

"LK, I know you think that you can be safe being around them but you don't know how dangerous they really are. I mean the things that Bella says that vampires can do are crazy. "

"Jacob, you're a werewolf. That's dangerous, too. Are you suggesting that I stop being around you too because you might hurt me?"

"That's not what I'm saying at all. I just don't want you being around them. Bella didn't get physically hurt by them but she did get hurt and I don't want that for you."

"And we are back to Bella. What is going on between you two?"

"Nothing. Bella has nothing to do with this conversation."

"Well, it sure seems like she does since her name keeps coming up every other sentence. Why were you hanging out with her today?"

"What I do with my friends is none of your business. I would really appreciate it if you would stop asking so many questions about her. Just drop it LK."

"And just when I thought we were getting somewhere we take twelve steps back."

As I say that I take out my phone and text Edward and 'S.O.S. Please come get me message.'

"Who are you texting?" Jacob asks heatedly.

"What I do with my friends is none of your business." I shoot back his phrase back at him.

There was an icy silence between the two of us as we just stood there and looked everywhere but at each other.

"LK, I'm sorry …" Jacob is about to say something as we here a car fast approaching. As it rounds the corner, I see that it's Edward. 'Thank God.' I inwardly say to myself.

As Edward pulls his car to a stop and I walk around to the passenger side I turn to Jacob and say, "Maybe this whole thing with me and you is a mistake and this conversation was just a clue to that. We obviously have different opinions on who you and I should be friends with but I'm not going to change my friends just because you don't like them. When you feel like you can talk about the Cullen's and Bella without biting my head off, let me know."

And with that, I got in Edwards car and we drove off. 'What a shitty day this has been. Why can't I just catch a break every once in a while?' I think to myself.
