Author's Note: HUGE thank you to chinadoll381282001 for an amazingly long review, it made me chuckle, thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that out for me. Other reviewers, April-Showers82 and twigames! You guys inspire me to continue writing, thank you so much for continuing those reviews! Had a bit of confusion on my end because I read what I've posted on the fanfic app and it said I'd posted the same chapter twice, so I deleted one. Well, 6 is back up so it's something you've already read. Will make sure I double check!

I sat surrounded by clothing, piles upon piles of clothing. I was attempting to spring clean, even though it was nearly summer. I needed to get rid of the clothes I didn't want and force myself to buy some, but my mom was coming up for my graduation and promised to take me on a shopping spree. I wasn't sure what all that entailed but I was kind of excited for some mother daughter time. I had a pile of jeans and shorts, all leaving me. A mountain of t-shirts and ratty plaid shirts, I hated to part with but knew I had to give up the past in order to move forward.

I also had all of my shoes in a pile, all except my converse that I would not bear to part with. They were my go to shoes for every day and I loved them!

"Whoa...your closet threw up!" Jake said as he climbed through my window, I frowned.

"It's daylight!" I giggled, "And yeah...it was acting funny all morning."

He laughed at my joke and planted a kiss on my forehead, sitting on the bed behind me. "What you doing with all of it?"

"Getting rid of it."

His eyes widened slightly, "Why's that, you going au'natural from now on?"

"You wish." I mumbled, tossing another shirt to the donate pile.

He chuckled, his toe pulling the waistband of my shorts away from my skin. "Maybe."

I smacked his foot and pointed at him, "You stop it." He smiled my smile and crossed his arms, playfully pouting. "What's up?"

"It's time for my daily work out." he wiggled his eyebrows and I groaned, getting up from the floor and stood between his legs.

"I need to finish this, but then I'm all yours." I kissed him lightly and pulled away to grab a garbage bag. I stuffed all the donations inside and put it by the door, re-hanging what I had left and groaned. "You serious?!"

Jake laughed behind me, "Looks like you need to go shopping."

I had 5 shirts and two jackets, one pair of shoes. Jeans, yeah I had 3 pairs of those and one jean short.

"Mom's taking me when she gets up here, was her graduation gift." I closed the doors and tossed a stray hanger on the desk.

"Oh, that will be fun."

"Yeah, I think it'll be fun for probably 20 minutes or so. She's not the easiest person to shop with, she's very..." I leaned into his chest and cupped his head in my hands. "Opinionated." I kissed him and he tugged me on top of him. This was what we did, we made out every afternoon it was really something I looked forward to. I knew a lot of my friends were talking about sex and how bad they were being pressured into doing it and I was so thankful Jacob and I were this happy just kissing.

He pulled back and acted like a literal light bulb went off over his head. "I could go!"

"With mom and I?" He nodded. "That...isn't a half bad idea. If you want to go, that would be fun. Maybe she wouldn't be so..."

He'd already went back to kissing me, I didn't care to finish the sentence anyways.

I glared at Jacob, sitting next to me on the opposite end of the sofa. He was flipping through stuff on his facebook and laughing at the jokes on his wall.

I shook my head in disbelief, "Are you not going to say anything about what just happened?!" I squealed, though quietly as Charlie was home.

He looked up from his phone, "What's to say?" He scrolled the screen and glanced at me when I didn't answer. He laughed, instead. "Bella, it's not a big deal."

I scoffed, it was a huge deal. Charlie had come home early and Jacob's hand was halfway up my shirt so his stupid wolf senses were occupied and didn't hear his cruiser pull into the driveway so he walked in on us. When I say that I mean as he was fumbling inside my shirt! He was rubbing the skin below my breasts, he was still on first base. But to Charlie, it obviously looked differently.

Charlie didn't know we were dating yet, so it came as quite the shock to walk in on us in that position. He hadn't been too thrilled and yelled at me to get up and for both of us to go downstairs, he was upstairs 'composing himself' for the talk. And Jacob was sitting here playing on his phone like it wasn't a big deal I was about to explode!

"JAKE!" I hissed. He sighed and shoved his phone in his pocket and scooted towards me on the sofa.

"What?"

"He caught you with your hand up my shirt!" I whispered.

He shook his head, "So? You are 18..."

I was, it was true. But that didn't mean I wanted my Dad to know about what I did with my boyfriend, especially since it was his best friends Son. "Ugh you don't get it."

He leaned in to say something but Charlie cleared his throat and he sprung to the opposite side of the couch.

Charlie sat in the chair facing us both, his face red and he laid his phone on the table. No doubt he was probably on the phone with my Mom and I nearly lost it. "We obviously need to talk about what I...saw up there."

Jacob leaned forward, his elbows on his knees and nodded. I could see him in my peripheral vision, I couldn't bare to look at him with my Dad glaring at us.

"Now Bella, you are 18 now and I can't stop you from...whatever it is you 18 year olds do." He waved his hand awkwardly and pointed at Jake, "But you, you are a minor and that's statutory rape." I felt my face set fire and said nothing, cops daughter...what could you do.

"Charlie..." Jacob started to protest but Charlie was in his parent shoes tonight.

"Now hold on, im not finished. Sex is..."

"Charlie..." Jacob tried again.

"BOY!" His voice boomed, but Jacob didn't seem phased. He was used to loud voices.

"Sir, we aren't 'doing' anything. We just kiss, that's it." He spat out quickly.

Charlie adjusted his gun holster and frowned, "You are a horny little bastard, I see your type all the time. You get my daughter pregnant and you'll be meeting Betty."

Jacob was scrunching his face up, confused as to whom betty was and why she was so intimidating. Betty was his gun.

"Dad, calm down." I finally chimed in. "He's telling you the truth."

He shook his head, "That was NOT just kissing up there! His hand was in your t-shirt Bella."

I nodded, Jacob being no real help. "I know, I swear to you though we aren't having..."

I couldn't even say the word let alone think about doing it but Jake leaned forward, clapping his hands together loudly, "Sex. The word she's looking for is sex and WE are not having it. We aren't messing around either, strictly kissing, what you saw was my fault. I never do that, but I was rubbing her stomach, I swear." His hands went in the air as Charlie made a strained groan in his throat.

He looked at me and back to Jacob, "Whatever you two were doing...you need to cool it. I know you two do this every afternoon, it's going to lead to other things. I can't stop you," He pointed to me, "But you..." He pointed at Jacob and growled, "I'll stop you!"

"Sir, I understand. You have nothing to worry about though, I promise."

"Promise? A promise not to have sex from a teenaged boy is called a LIE! You think I was born yesterday?!" His voice was getting louder and my heart was racing. Jacob chuckled and I wanted to crawl in a hole, "AM I FUNNY TO YOU?!"

Jacob cooly leaned forward, "Well, kind of. I mean, you are flipping out about us having sex which we aren't. Shouldn't you save all this pent up anger and direct at something worthy of it? I mean...you are going to pop a vein Charlie."

"Boy, I've known you your whole life. Don't you tell me I'm mis-directing my anger, I know you too well." His knowing look at Jacob sent my body into a massive blushing episode, Charlie knew something. I just hoped it was the episode with Jade and not another girl.

Jacob nodded, "I understand that you do, but I don't have intentions with her."

I sat on the couch between the two as they talked about something between them I had no clue about.

Charlie growled this time, "I know you've 'had' intentions wether they be with my daughter or not. I know what you have done, so don't act all innocent with me right now. And she, she deserves to know the truth."

I began to think there was more to this than I thought when Jake turned to me, "Bella does know, I told her before we started dating. About Jade..." He tried to help me out and I nodded.

"Yeah, I know."

"And that doesn't bother you Bells?" He asked, leaning back in his chair.

I bit my lip, I never wanted to touch Jake again at this point. "He explained everything to me, what's in our pasts shouldn't effect our future."

He looked at me though I wasn't told the full story, "Jacob, what exactly did you tell her? A doctored up version?"

Jacob sighed, "I told her what was necessary to understand the situation, she doesn't need details."

"Okay, hold up!" I sat forward, suddenly angry I was being talked about like I wasn't there. "What are you guys talking about? Did you sleep with Jade out of drunkenness and a date rape drug or is there more to it?!"

They exchanged a glance and Jacob sighed, shooting Charlie a dirty look.

Charlie looked at me and back to Jacob and sighed, "TELL HER!" He yelled one more time causing me to blink a few times. He got up and headed upstairs, I held my breath until his door slammed and Jacob relaxed next to me.

"Jesus." Jacob sighed, "Look, what he's getting at is that I didn't tell you the whole story about Jade."

"Obviously!" I hugged myself and put my leg out on the couch to stop him from being able to sit closer to me, he got the point and stayed put.

"I was dating Jade for a while and there were rumors flying around school that I was trying to get in her pants. I, being a guy, played along and acted all cocky about it and you can guess after it happened I couldn't say I didn't want it to happen because i'd look stupid. So, I just let everyone think she'd let me in her pants and dumped me cause I was not good in bed."

"Why would you do all of that?! Charlie thinks you are a man whore."

"I know. But I'm being honest with you, I'd never lie to you."

I was angry at Jacob, but I wasn't sure why so I told him to go home and locked the door behind him. I believed Jacob, I truly did but the fact that everyone in town thought he was a player bothered me. The fact that my own Dad thought so REALLY bothered me, it made me feel cheapened.

I locked my window and closed my curtains for the first time in a long time and crawled into bed waiting for sleep to come over me. Though it never did...I tossed and turned listlessly for hours. I tried reading my dog eared copy of Little Women and playing on my phone, nothing brought sleep. I glanced at the clock and realized I had been laying in bed for 5 hours and felt stupid for locking Jacob out. He'd knocked on it a few times and I pretended not to hear him, I had ignored his texts too. But I felt bad, I needed him and wished I hadn't done that.

Bella: Jake, you awake?

Few minutes later I got a text back.

Jake: Yuss.

Bella: I was mad at you, so I pretended to be asleep and now I feel stupid. I'm sorry.

Jake: HA! You can't sleep...can you?

I laughed out loud, what an ass.

Bella: Ass.

Jake: HA! Be over in a few.

Bella: Thanks.

True to his word 6 minutes later he scaled the side of my house and came through my window, latching it behind him.

I lifted my arms up and squeezed my fists open and shut, "C'mere!' I whispered. He smiled and climbed in next to me, I yawned and curled into his side.

"Hold on there." He pulled away from me and I wimpered, "You need to tell me why you were mad at me. Is it because of Charlie walking in on us? Me not caring? Or the whole Jade debacle."

"All of the above. I trust you, it just bothers me that you let everyone think what they wanted and now they probably look at me like a slut or something."

He groaned, "I didn't think of it like that, I'll try and clear things up. I didn't care back then, but I see your point. I'll get on some damage control, I know she did the same thing to another kid I'll see if we can't you know..." I nodded. "As for Charlie, I shouldn't have been in your shirt and he's mad because he thinks I'm after something, and I'm not. I'll fix that too, just give me some time." I nodded again, almost wishing he hadn't said he wasn't after one thing. "And for me not caring, you are very wrong about that I just handle things very differently than you do. I was dying inside."

"Really." I stated more than asked, he hid his fear well then. I was jealous.

"Yes really!" he laughed, "You were mad at me for not caring? Aww, I'm sorry. You should've just let me in when I tried around 11, I would've fixed this sooner."

I had a tendency to shut down rather than communicate, it's what I was used to. "I'm sorry..."

He squeezed me to his chest and I felt my eyelids flutter closed, his warmth engulfing me and easing all of my worries away. I settled in and felt him kiss my forehead before I drifted off to sleep.
