Gah! I know it's been past a week since I've last updated. This week was just busy and I pulled an all nighter to go see Breaking Dawn. Just made me fall in love with the wolf pack even more. ;)

I know this is a tad short but I wanted to put something up, I promise my next update will within the week.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Series.

I opened up my closet door and combed all the clothes I owned over with my eyes. It was October and a tad chilly but I loved the fall, it was always my favorite season. I could be sporting skirts or shorts all the way to November.

I picked a grey bubble skirt and a black tank top with a red belt and white shrug. I quickly touched up my hair with the flat iron and put on more mascara. I hated Jacob; he had the best eyelashes ever.

Men weren't supposed to have better eyelashes than women.

At least mine were better than Quil's, not that it made much of a difference.

I ran downstairs and downed a cup of coffee before I grabbed my keys and headed out. I nearly screamed when I opened the door and saw Sam there, leaning against the railing. I sighed heavy and rolled my eyes. "If you break my railing I'll break your neck."

"You love me too much to do that," Sam said smirking.

"Try me," I said crossing my arms, trying to keep a serious look on my face. "I thought I was meeting you at your house?"

"I decided to come here and pick you up in case you tried to run off."

"Oh geez, thanks. I love the support you have in me," I said sarcastically picking at my nails.

"It'll be fine Jay. Why don't we head over now," He said in a more calming voice.

I just nodded and tucked my keys into my pocket of my skirt and got into Sam's car. When he sat in the driver's seat I looked at him pointedly and said, "This will probably be the only time where I won't bitch at you for driving. Enjoy every minute."

"Oh trust me, I will," He said chuckling.

"Alyson, is her last name Uley too?" I asked combing over information in my head.

"Yup."

"We're not going to talk about Josh are we?"

I heard him sigh and looked at him, gauging his reaction. "I don't know, I'm pretty sure not tonight. And I know it hurts to think about him, but there comes a point when all of us will probably have to. Everyone has questions, even you. Sometimes talking can help you move on."

"I've already moved on," I muttered stubbornly.

We didn't say anything until he parked the car in front of a decent sized house. It had been painted brown many years ago and looked like it's been chipping for a while. A soft yellow glow emitted from the windows and I saw a middle aged women sitting on the porch, she had to be Alyson. She had long black hair that had just a few gray's running through them and half of it was pulled back in a barrette. She had Sam's cheekbones, high and sharp and the same dark, almost black eyes. Her tanned skin had lines around her eyes which had a permanent smile in them.

She was gorgeous.

Just like half of the people on this tiny reservation. Awesome.

"Sam, I don't feel well."

"You are not getting out of this," Sam said sternly. "Now let's go."

"I hate you," I snarled mockingly and he threw another smile at me.

"I am aware." He said opening his door and I watched him climb up the porch steps and wrap his mom in his arms.

I sighed heavily and pushed down the nerves I had in my throat and climbed out of the car. I kept my gaze on the ground, admiring how much I liked the black ankle boots I had on.

When I got to the steps I looked up and saw Alyson's eyes on me and I smiled awkwardly.

As soon as I was actually on the porch Alyson threw her arms around me and pulled me in a big hug. I hugged her back softly and patted her back sporadically; I was never one for hugs.

She pulled me away and held me by my shoulders. "You're so beautiful; you can definitely see the resemblance. I'm so excited to meet you! Sam's been talking about you forever now. He's quite excited to have a sibling," She said winking dramatically.

I smiled hugely, "Oh really? He's been telling me something completely different."

She smiled picking up on the joking tone in my voice and turned to Sam. "Tisk tisk Sam. I thought I raised you better than that."

"Don't let her fool you," He said narrowing his eyes at me and I saw the happiness in them. He really loved his mom, "She knows what to say to get what she wants. You should see when she and Quil are near each other."

Alyson burst out laughing. "Sam and Quil did have quite a few tiffs when he first phased."

I raised an eyebrow and looked as Sam who let out a groan. "Oh, this is something I need to know."

"Nope! Don't tell her mom, she really doesn't need to know."

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me Sam. You know I'll find out," I said smirking at him.

I heard Alyson chuckle and saw her shake her head. "It's amazing to see how alike you two are. Why don't we go inside? Supper should be done in a few minutes and the wind's starting to pick up."

"I'm starving," Sam moaned and practically jogged in to the house.

"Shocker," Alyson and I said at the same time.

XXXX

"So I'll see you again right?" Alyson asked as she pulled me into another hug.

"Of course," I said with a small smile, really hugging her this time.

"Excellent. And if you ever need anything, don't be afraid to ask me. And I mean that," She said sternly looking into my eyes. I darted my eyes away quickly before bringing them back to her.

Eye contact was too personal for me in most situations.

Nodding, I smiled at her and stepped away so Sam could get his final hug. "I'll see you later Mom, thanks again."

"Oh no problem, an old woman needs company every once in a while, ay?" She asked letting out a small laugh.

I watched Sam roll his eyes mockingly. Alyson gave me another hug before we left and handed me a huge bowl of leftovers that I'm pretty sure if I let one of the guys eat it'd be gone in ten seconds.

"She's nice," I said softly when we were in the car, the hum of Sam's car filling the silence.

"She's amazing," Sam said just as softly. "Thank you for meeting her."

I nodded and stared out the window, letting the silence take over. I guess I realized what I've been trying to deny for the past couple weeks.

In the odd months since I've moved to La Push I've gained more than I ever had before.

I mentally scorned myself, it sounded so cheesy when I put it like that.

XXXX

I rolled over in my bed Saturday morning and looked at the clock on my bedside. Well Saturday morning was the wrong term, afternoon would've fit better.

I stretched and yawned loudly forcing myself to sit up. Today was the first day in a while that Jacob and I would be hanging out together by ourselves for the first time in a while.

I being the awesome girlfriend I am was bringing him go kart racing and I, being the evil girlfriend I am, was the ultimate champ at go karting and knew there was no chance Jacob would beat me, despite his 'thing' for cars.

He beat me at laser tag, it was only fair.

I jumped in the shower quickly and got dressed putting on a pair of jeans that had rips from the knee to upper thigh but had a camouflage fabric underneath the rips, a black three quarter shirt and tan boots. I diffused my hair with my blow dryer and swiped on mascara.

Running downstairs I threw a bagel in my toaster, who said breakfast wasn't good at one in the afternoon?

I downed a cup of coffee, while I impatiently waited for my bagel to cook. I tapped my fingers against the counter, looking out the window at the woods. Jacob wasn't supposed to be here for another hour or two but he always came early.

When I heard the knock on the door I figured that was him and ran over to open it. "Well looky here, some one's in a rush to get their butt kicked today."

"That's a tad kinky."

"Quil, I hate you."

Quil took a step back and put his hand over his chest, "I hope you know bullying is greatly frowned upon."

"I'm just stating facts," I snarled mockingly. "So why are ya here? Usually you'll warn me."

"Emily sent me, umm…there was a letter that was put in the mail for you but it went to Sam's house." Quil shuffled on his feet and didn't look directly at me.

"Okay," I said slowly. "Where is it?"

"Emily was afraid of what Sam might think if he saw it, hence why she sent me over right away."

"What?" I asked lifting my eyebrows in confusion. "Quil, you're making no sense. Just give me the mail."

Quil shuffled a little more and awkwardly shoved the envelope towards me and looked at me and I could see the worry in his eyes.

I gave him another look before I moved my eyes down to the envelope, reading the return address.

It was from Joshua Uley.
