A/N: I would like to thanks Lexi Blaze, PerfectTwo, PinkVeeBerry, GByrd, and nene82743for all reviewing. You guys rock my socks ;)
I'm thinking writing a bit from Devon's point of view. Should I? I really want your guy's opinions. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
It's such a bummer writing that.
Sam was pacing at the foot of my bed very nervously, refusing to look into my eyes.
"Sam, just spit it out already." I sighed, not even attempting to roll my eyes. I had the biggest headache and that Cullen dude gave me some meds for it but it had no effect. Sam and Jacob had already told me about Edward coming or whatever but I had no idea how that was going to work.
I could tell Jake was upset but before I could try to comfort him he ran out mumbling something about patrol. Patrol my ass.
It wasn't safe to go to school considering I never knew when Devon was going to pop in my head and that would be the last place I'd want him to show up. Work had been taken care of, I guess Quil's mom is super good friends with my boss.
I felt like a caged animal.
I had nothing to do, none of the dogs would let me out of the house unless they were with me and to tell you the truth, I was scared.
"I was thinking…you know….just while we're in this…um…situation if you wanted to move in with me and Emily."
"What?" My mind was blank, move in with Sam and Emily? Um, no thank you. I liked living on my own perfectly fine.
He just had an exasperated look on his face that begged for me to not make him say it again.
Leave it to the big bad wolf to make things awkward. "Uh, I really appreciate the offer Sam but you know…uh…if Edward's coming…I don't really want to have to impose myself plus him in your home. Emily already does a lot; I don't want to stress her out."
Jacob had made sure to the doctor that in no circumstances was Edward allowed in the house without one of the guys and if he found out at any point he was it meant war.
I mentally rolled my eyes at the word war. When Jake had said it he and Sam looked so serious I had to try not to laugh. It just sounded ridiculous to me.
Sam rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and nodded. "Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't even tell Emily about that part. And since all the guys are there a lot it could put tension if he was there. But if you change your mind, you know you can just tell me. Even if you wanted to move in after this is all done so you don't have to worry about rent….I know you've been on your own for a while but it might just be nice to rely on someone else or not have to worry about that stuff for a while."
I looked away from Sam; he was offering me what many people have before, a place to go. But he was offering me something I've never had before, which was family. He was trying to include me with Emily, their home, his mom and I kept shutting him out.
Just like I was trying to shut Jacob out.
Maybe Quil was right, we should just elope so we don't have to worry about this anymore.
Right now was not the time to get all emotional, that could wait for another day.
I got up and walked over to Sam, realizing once again just how huge he was. I wrapped my arms around his waist quickly and hugged him. Before he had the chance to hug me back, I pulled away.
"I'm going to take a shower real quick. You can watch TV or whatever. Me casa su casa." I ran off to the bathroom before he could say anything.

The next day Jacob was staying at my house, there was always someone at my house, inside and out but the main ones that stayed over were Embry, Seth, Quil, Jake and Sam. I hadn't heard from Paul in a while and never even saw him on patrols. When I asked Embry about him he just stammered around then started obnoxiously yelling at the football game playing on TV.
Men.
Things with Jacob had still been rough, he seemed distant and the selfish part of me blamed it on his tiredness. He was sitting on the couch, he came in after one and told me Edward would be here by seven and has been staring at the TV since.
Getting sick of it I walked over to the couch and sat next to him as close as I could. His eyes didn't even move. "Jacob, look at me….please," I said rather stiffly.
When his eyes met mine I stretched up and kissed him. "I love you too," I whispered and no sooner than the words left my lips he deepened our kiss, pushing me back so I was lying on the couch. I felt the heat of his body all over mine and felt the world fall away from me.
"Please Jacob. Contain your thoughts, not everyone wants to hear that." A soft, almost musical voice floated over to us. Fuck, Cullen time.
I didn't even half to push Jacob up; he had sat up every muscle in his body locked up. I heard him growl and sat up looking at him.
"Jake, you okay?"
I heard who must have been Edward chuckle. "He's fine, old habits die hard. "
Okay. It was official. I did not like him.
"Well thanks for answering but I really wasn't asking you," I said calmly raising an eyebrow at him and I could've sworn I saw Jacob smirk. I didn't care if he was a mind reading sucker. That didn't give him the right to assume he has some higher ranking.
I saw Edward smirk a little, knowing he could hear what I thought. I mentally rolled my eyes, already knowing this was going to be very interesting. I raked my eyes over him, the messy bronze hair that needed a comb, pale white skin, and the amber eyes. He had all the classic looks, don't get me wrong I wasn't saying he was bad looking but he didn't look real.
He looked like a ghost.
"Thanks," he muttered sourly.
This turn I laughed. "No problem."
"Carlisle already filled me in, told me everything he knows. So it's more like a waiting game from here."
Silence.
"Is Bella in Forks?" Jacob asked and the feeling he had in his voice, I couldn't name it.
I can tell you what I was feeling.
Why was he asking? I wanted to believe it was just curiosity but what if he wanted to see her? What if something happened and he decided he wanted her again?
He imprinted on me, as much as I hated that word, I was using it to my advantage.
And the fact that Bella was stupid enough to leave him.
"No, she's not here. She's with Renesmee in Europe so neither of you have to worry." Edward's voice was low and I could see how tense he was.
This was going to be interesting.
XXXX
If there was hell on Earth, this would be it.
I don't think I've ever felt more awkward. We were only four hours into this whole situation and Jacob was so tense he didn't speak a word and I found myself thinking the most humiliating things just because I knew Edward could hear it.
And all the little side smirks I got from him were not making me feel any better.
He was a dick.
I saw the smirk fall from his face after that one. Yeah, take that mister non-living boy.
The frustrated groan I heard from him made me smile. I elbowed Jake in the ribs and when he looked at me I raised my eyebrow at him hiding a smirk. He grinned hugely with all his perfect teeth and wrapped a warm arm around me.
Seth bounded in the door a few minutes later a big smile on his face. "Hey Jay, Jake. Hey Edward! How's it going?"
I grinned at Seth, his happiness made everyone else happy, except Jacob at this point.
"It's my turn for patrol, I'll see you in the morning," he muttered against my lips as he kissed me.
"You need sleep; you can just go home to rest after. It's Sam's turn tomorrow anyways." I said giving him a look that dared him to disagree with me.
He just laughed and shook his head. "I'll see."
Jacob kissed me one more time before he got up and walked out. I hate to say it but I felt a little relieved. I loved the kid but at least Seth was here to not get me reeling about Edward.
Seth plopped on the couch right in between me and Edward. "So Eddie, how's the daughter?"
Just because I knew Seth wasn't going to be picking fights with Edward did not mean I had to stay here and listen to them chat. "I'm going to bed. Uh, if you guys need anything help yourselves." I was going to say if you're hungry help yourselves but who wouldn't feel awkward saying that in front of a vampire.
Ugh.
I saw Edward smirk again and Seth laughed, probably catching on. I just rolled my eyes and walked to my bedroom.
I heard a couple howls coming from the woods, the loudest I've ever heard them. As soon as I did Seth was in my room with Edward.
"Seth?" I asked looking at him nervously. The howling got even louder and they sounded like they were getting closer.
"Sam's coming in the house," Edward spoke so fast I could barely hear him. "There's more than one. Get her in the basement or something where there's no windows."
This time I heard his voice before I felt any pain. "Let the show begin."
Sam's POV
We caught all their scents at once. There was only six of them but they were all coming onto the rez at once, each in different areas. I couldn't stay to fight them off, I had to get Jay before anything happened to her. I was running through the front door when I heard her scream.
I ran even faster into the bedroom and saw Seth holding Jay who was in a ball on the floor. Her eyes were squeezed shut and her hands were trembling at her ears. Seth looked up at me and his eyes flew to Edward who was bent over against the wall. All his facial features were calm but his eyes blazed. "Edward? Edward? What's happening?"
I saw him try to stand up but he just bent over again, his hands gripping on to his thighs as hard as he could.
"EDWARD," I yelled at him. It took all my strength not to shake him. God damn it. We were getting attacked. What the fuck was happening?
"He's waiting for her. He's waiting for both of you. " He whispered.
"Where?" I asked.
"Outside."
If my blood could ever turn to ice it was right there.
