Sam finally let me go and we walked into the house together.

"Glad you two could join us!" Seth teased. As mature as I was, I stuck my tongue out at him. All of the guys laughed. I let go of Sam's hand and plopped down on the couch beside Jake.

Brady, Collin, Paul, Quil and Embry were all playing video games on the floor. I cuddled into Jake's side, watching the boys play their game.

I heard Sam give a small growl. I looked over at him and glared. He backed down a little but I could still see how tense he was.

I continued to lay by Jake, ignoring Sam's stares. Jake put his arm around my side. I looked at him. Jakes eyes went from me to Sam and back. I sighed, giving up my moment of snuggling with Jake.

"Dinner anyone?" I asked to all of them.

"OoO!"

"Yum!"

"Yes please!"

"What are we eating?"

"Yess!"

Were all sounds I heard coming from the guys. I laughed and got up from Jake, making my way to the kitchen.

I started two big pots of boiling water to make Mac and cheese. I then took out a whole loaf of bread and a bunch ingredients for sandwiches.

"Hey" I heard from behind me. I turned a little to see Jake.

"Need help?" he asked looking at the food.

"Yea, sure." I said. I had him put the meat and everything else on the bread and then stack them on the plate while I made two big pots of Mac and cheese. "So how's everything going with you and Sam?" he asked casually as I stirred the noodles.

I looked at him carefully. Jake isn't the kind of guy who prods into my romantic life unless he needs something out of it, especially when im with Sam. That's just an awkward moment all in itself.

So I shrugged. "Everything is fine. Why?"

"I don't know, just wondering." He said not looking at me.

"Jake what's going on?" I asked now fully looking at him.

"Nothing." He said.

"Jake." I said warningly. He stopped making sandwiches and looked at me.

"Its just I saw the way you looked at each other when I was holding you. You know he can't help it right?" he said trying to defend him. I sighed and went back to working on the Mac and cheese.

"Yea I know." I huffed. He chuckled at my actions and went back to work himself. After we were both done we called in the rest of the pack to eat.

"So Bells….You're 19" Embry said slowly, like he was measuring my reaction.

"yea." I said confused. I looked at everyone and suddenly felt the tension in the room. So I dropped my fork on the plate and looked at everyone.

"What going on guys?"

"Well you've been 19 for a while now…" Quil said open endedly.

"Yes…" I said trying to get to the bottom of this.

"And you're done with high school…." Seth said.

I nodded my head, still not catching on.

"So what are you going to do?" Jake finished softly.

"You cant leave us Bella." Le-Le said just as quite.

I sat there shocked. I didn't know what to say or how to react.

"Wh-why are you asking this?"

"because the last time we all brought it up, You and Sam had a massive blow out, and we want to know what's going to happen because summer is almost over and…." Jared babbled.

"And we care about you." Kim finished for Jared laughing slightly. I smiled at the couples actions and tried to piece in my head what I was going to do.

"I don't know." I said. I looked at Sam and he looked sad and anxious.

"Why not go into drawing or something?!" Leah said trying to lighten the mood that was quickly going downhill.

I shrugged. "I don't know…why do we even have to think about this now?"

"Because Bella, you have to face it sometime." Jake stated.

I rolled my eyes, secretly knowing he was right. Thankfully before anyone could continue with this conversation, the phone rang.

I hopped out of my seat and practically ran over to get the phone.

"Hello?" I answered. I could hear muffling and giggling.

"Shut up!" I heard a girl voice say.

"Hello?" I said again.

"Ms. Bella!!!" everyone shouted. I quickly pulled the phone away from my ear and smiled. It was my kids from my classes I taught in Montana.

"Guys?!" I shouted back. My heart was soaring with Joy. I missed them so much.

I could hear lots of giggling and shouting.

"Bella?!" I heard Sarah say.

"Sar?" I asked trying to listen to her voice over the loud background. She shouted to the kids to be quite so she could hear, and it suddenly all stopped.

"How are you Izzy?!" she said excitedly.

I laughed at the nickname she gave me. "Im great, how are you guys?!"

"We miss you!!" Everyone shouted.

"Awww, I miss you guys too. How's everything coming together? Are you ready for the recital? And what about the competition? Did u win?!"

"Im trying my best." Sarah announced as everyone tried to talk to me at once again. I laughed and turned to look at the guys. They were all leaning to the phone, surely listening. I glared at them and they all sheepishly smiled at me. Sam looked kind of sad but I gave him a small smile. I turned my attention back to the phone.

"Ms. Bella, Ms. Bella! It's Jeff! Guess what?!" he shouted excitedly. I closed my eyes and imagined him jumping up and down. He was one of my martial arts students. He was a cute kid; Very bright and a fast learner.

"What?" I answered trying to match his excitement. I laughed at myself, and I heard the guys laugh too.

"I got second place for the individual part! I was up against this really big kid! He was like a giant dinosaur! And I beat him!" he said happily.

I gasped in excitement.

"Oh my gosh! That's amazing! I wish I was there to see you. I bet you were the star of the show!"

"Yes ma'am! I kicked his butt!" he shouted and laughed.

I laughed again and congratulated him some more. I talked with some of my other students, smiling as they told me about their lives. I missed them more than I thought I did.

My chest began to hurt with separation anxiety. I could tell Sam could feel what I was feeling because he snuck up behind me, and kissed me on the shoulder, rubbing his hands up and down my arms.

I looked up at him with teary eyes and hid my head in his chest, still listening to everyone on the phone talking all at once.

"We miss you Ms. Bella" Jeff whispered quietly. I could tell everyone became quite as he said that.

"I miss you too Jeff." I whispered equally sad. Sam grabbed the phone out of my hands and put it to his ear.

"But you know what kiddo; you don't need to be sad because Ms. Bella is going to be visiting lots of times."

"Really?!" he shouted excitedly. I looked up at Sam with bright eyes. The background noise began to stir with noise again.

"Yes sir! I bet she will come a lot. She loves you guys." Sam said. I looked at him and smiled. I can't believe he was letting me go! He is the most amazing guy ever. He looked down at me, cuddled in his chest, with one of his arms wrapped around my arms and smiled back at me.

I heard the phone drop and Jeff, what I guessed jumping, and screaming 'hooray!' Sam and I looked at each other and laughed.

'Thank u' I mouthed.

He nodded and kissed me on the head. Sam handed me back the phone with a smile. I couldn't help but to smile back and give him a quick kiss.

"Guys Guys Guys!" I said in the receiver of the phone, trying to get everyone's attention.

"When are you coming Ms. Bella?" Piper asked.

"I don't know yet, but as soon as I know I will call you ok?" I said happily.

"I got to go but keep practicing your moves; I can't wait to see what you guys have learned!"

We said out goodbyes and then I hung up the phone. I turned towards Sam and jumped on him, wrapping my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" I sang. He chuckled and kissed my nose.

"mmhhmmm." Was all he said, still laughing at my happiness. I smiled and laughed too, and then gave him mind blowing kiss.

We both groaned. "Ewww, guys, we are still here!" Paul shouted and covered his eyes.

Sam and I broke apart and looked at everyone sitting at the table. We laughed and I got down from Sam.

"So you're leaving?" Leah said sadly.

I looked at her confused. "well..yea?" I said thinking that it was obvious.

"oh, ok…well I should go." Was all she could say before standing up. I saw the tears start to flow down her cheeks. It then clicked to me about what she was saying.

"Oh No no!" I said standing up just as quick. "im not leaving leaving!" I said looking at everyone. I saw they all had panicked and worried expressions.

"I meant that I would be like leaving for the day. I'm not leaving you guys." I said as fast as I could get out.

Leah just looked at me through her teary eyes. She wiped her eyes with her arm. "what?" she said just as confused as everyone else. I looked towards Sam, who was looking down, and trying to hide a chuckle at their stupidity. I smiled at him, laughing a bit too. Sam looked up and we met eyes. He winked at me before looking at all the boys at the table.

"Bells?" Jake asked trying to get my attention to finish my explanation.

"Right...sorry." I said focusing on what I had to say.

" What am i?" I asked them.

"Well…." Brady started…

"You're a strange type of human with these really freaking but cool power things." Quil said.

I shot him an evil look but accepted his answer.

"oookk, and what do my powers consist of?" I asked trying to lead them to put the puzzle together.

I waited a minute before getting impacient. "im just going to teleport there. Geezzz." I said huffing at their stupidity.

"ooohhh." Was all I heard.

I rolled my eyes and sat on Sams lap. Sam bent down and kissed me on the cheek while still chuckling at the packs confusion.

"And you guys call yourself smart." I mumbled.

"Hey!" was what everyone said. This caused Sam to laugh even more. I could feel the rumble of laughter through his chest which caused me to lean my body more into him and enjoy the moment. Sam put his chin on my shoulder and rested it there.

"So everyone ok with that?" I asked.

"Sure"

"Yep."

"Whatever."

"Uh huh."

"Fine."

"Ok."

"As long as you don't leave for good." Seth said.

I looked up at him shocked. "Of course I wouldn't leave for good."

"Look, I know you guys are having a hard time trusting me, and I know that it looks like the love I have for them is huge, and to be truthful it is. But I would never, ever leave you guys for them. I love you guys so much more than them. You guys are the ones I need. You guys are the ones I can't survive without. So don't ever doubt that." I said looking at each and every one of them. "Got it?" I asked Seth.

He nodded and gave me a small smile.

"So who's ready for dessert?" I asked smiling.

"Me!" everyone shouted and laughed.

I got up from Sam's lap and started to take out the pies and ice-cream.

The rest of the night went by smoothly. We all talked and laughed. It was a perfect night to remember.
