Hey guys I left you with a cliff-hanger didn't I. Sorry.

I decided to switch to Jacobs POV for a chapter to let everyone know how he is feeling. This takes place before the party!!!

I just want to say a big thank you to all who reviewed Thanks!

Well without further ado here we go ….

Chapter 18 : Dude, who's going to be your girl?

Jacob POV

It had been two days since I last saw her. Saw Nessie. And when I saw her she looked amazing. No stop it Jacob, you have a girl friend. I kept reminding myself of this. But it didn't seem to work.

I still remember when I told Nessie about me and Leah. It was the hardest thing I had ever done. But it was for the right reasons, she was too young for me to be having these type of feelings toward her.

I was laid in bed, I looked at the clock 10:30 am. I hadn't been to school in two days. I couldn't, I mean I could but I really didn't want to. I had run off and left her. She probably hated me, not that I blame her.

My room was small but cosy, my double bed filled up most of the room. My phone started to vibrate on the nightstand beside me. It read.

Hey dude, guess what I don't have to go to school today, neither does Quill or Em. So WUU2 J

I laughed at the text. It was from Seth. I shook my head, I don't know how he convinced his mum to let him stay off. I began texting back.

Hey m8 cool and nothing much. U wana do something

I hit send and waited for a reply. I didn't have to wait long.

Sweet dude we can all meet on first beach at 11 see ya there J

I had to laugh Seth had a problem with saying dude a lot. This only occupied my mind for a while, I was brought back to my original thoughts.

I really did like Leah, but did I love her? I mean truly love her. I knew the answer straight away. I didn't. At least not with my full heart. But that wasn't the question that was bothering me. The question that was bothering me was do I love Nessie?

I was afraid of the answer. No I couldn't do this to Leah. I shook my head and looked at the clock. 10:45 am. Better get going. I got up and went to my dresser. I pulled on a random pair of sweats and a black t-shirt. This will do I mean I will be phasing in a bit anyway.

I walked out of my room and into the kitchen. There was a note on the fridge from my dad it said

Gone to Charlie's to watch the game be back late

Dad

The world could be coming to an end and all he would care about was watching one last game. I sighed and headed for the door. I stepped outside it was cloudy today, overcast. I sighed and began to take my clothes off. I was so much easier to phase when I didn't have to worry about buying new ones.

I switched to wolf and began to run to first beach. I couldn't hear anyone from the pack so they must not be phased. I prefer that when I don't have 4 wolves rattling around my head.

This all started 6 years ago when Bella was pregnant with Nessie. I was originally in Sam's pack and was happy, until I heard that they were going to kill Bella. I couldn't allow that I still loved the girl, so I broke free and left the pack. The only thing was Seth and Leah decided to join too. To begin with it was just the three of us. After the fight with the volitori, Quill and Embry joined my pack too. Lets just say Sam wasn't too happy. But that's in the past now.

I slowed down I could hear the sound of Seth's booming laugh. I knew I was close. I ran behind the nearest bush and phased back. I pulled on my sweats and t-shirt and walked the rest of the way to the beach. Once I was out of the overgrowth I saw them sat on logs talking. Quill caught my eye.

"well look who has finally decided to come" Quill said with mock sarcasm. The others looked in my direction and laughed.

"hey, I am only what 5 minutes late" I replied holding my phone out to them. Tapping on the screen.

"oh whatever" Embry said standing from the log. "me and Seth are going to race. You guys want to come" he gestured towards Quill and I.

"no I think I might just stay here until you get back" I replied with a smile.

"yeah me too" Quill answered. And with that they were off. Running through the forest shouting abuse at one another while ripping there clothes off. I sighed and shook my head. Were we all really 18, sometimes I doubted that when it came to Seth and Embry. I caught Quills eye and he motioned for me to sit.

"I know what your going through" he said as I sat next to him. Okay I am confused I didn't know I was going through anything.

"okay. Care to enlighten me" I said with a small chuckle. His face didn't change from a hard tone.

"don't play dumb Jacob. I know about Leah and Nessie" he replied. Now I was utterly confused.

"I am not playing dumb. What on earth are you talking about" I replied in a louder tone now.

"look I know you really like Leah, its just that I think that maybe you like Leah because you can't handle your feelings for Nessie" he said looking down. I didn't need a mirror to see the look that was on my face, I was shocked and confused. What Quill was saying had to be wrong right. But then it hit me, when I saw that Josh kid hold Nessies hand. I felt a twinge of something I thought I didn't get anymore. Jealousy.

"I know you think that I am crazy but why cant you see it. The way Nessie looks at you and recently the way you have been looking at her. I mean I love Leah, she's one of my best friends but I don't think that she is right for you" he carried on. If I wasn't shocked before then now I certainly was.

"I care for Leah a lot" I replied.

"I know, but if it came down to it who would you want to be waking up to every morning. Who would you choose? I may not be a mind reader but I know for a fact Leah isn't in your heart" he continued still looking at the floor. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, what the hell was he saying. I wanted to defend myself tell him that I loved Leah, but sadly I couldn't because deep down I knew I didn't. The only person I was in love with was Nessie. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard footsteps approaching us. I turned and expected to see Seth or Embry instead I was met by Leah.

"Jacob we need to talk" she said looking at the ground. Quill took the hint and took off into the woods.

"okay Leah what did you want to talk about" I replied with a small sigh. She began walking closer until she was stood right in front of me.

"I was wrong, about imprinting. It was wrong for me to make you leave Nessie. I care about you a lot its just…." she was struggling for words.

"Leah what are you trying to say" I replied but I think I already knew the answer.

"Jacob I imprinted. I know it sounds stupid but I did and I feel like I am on top of the world. Okay this is really hard to say but I think you are better with Nessie than I" for the first time she looked into my eyes. This moment right here felt right, like this is what we were meant to be. Friends.

"oh" was all I could reply. What was I supposed to say. I felt the exact same way but I couldn't tell her. She had made this easier on me.

"look its okay. I know how it feels now. I cant imagine how much pain you were in being away from Nessie. Right now my heart is aching to see him" she replied holding her head down. She was right I felt terrible, like a part of me was missing. I only stayed with Leah because I couldn't hurt her. She went through a lot with Sam. I couldn't do that to her again.

"I know I miss her. I didn't realise until I saw her the first day of school. It feels like she has a part of me. That no one can replace" I replied. The more I talked about it the more it hurt.

"I know, we tried our hardest. But I guess we weren't meant to be" she replied with a small chuckle.

"yeah I guess so" was all I could reply. I realised then that I did love Leah but in a sisterly way.

"so what's he like then?" I asked sitting back on the log. She followed my movement and sat next to me.

"he's amazing. He has blonde hair, taller than me, gorgeous blue eyes and his name is Wyatt" she replied with a sigh. Whilst she was talking I saw a light in her eyes that I had never seen before. Love.

"so does he live down here" I asked. I liked seeing Leah happy.

"yeah up in Forks. He moved down last week from North Carolina" she replied. "you off to the part tonight" she continued. The party, I held completely forgotten. Well at least I will be able to talk to Nessie there.

"yeah I think I will. You going?" I asked.

"yeah. I am bringing Wyatt along so you guys can meet him" she replied. "do you think Nessie will be there" she continued. I was a little taken off by her question, why would she care if Nessie were going.

"I think so. Why?" I asked trying to hide my confusion.

"well I want to apologise to her, because I haven't been very friendly recently" she replied looking down. Well this was a first Leah apologising I wish I had a camera.

"okay. Well I guess I will see you there, but I better go get ready" I replied walking off into the forest. I took off my clothes and phased quick, on the way back my mind was flooded with thoughts of Nessie. I hope she could forgive me for being a major jerk. Well I guess there is only one way to find out. Lets party.

Sorry its been so long, but I have had exams and such. But most are over now so hopefully I will update sooner. Bye. Xxx
