Thanks for those of you who left Reviews! I love hearing them! Please leave me, it makes me want to post another chapter sooner! This chapter is just kinda like a filler... it sets the plot for the rest of the story... Hope you enjoy!

Tears fall
And the glasses break
Inside these walls
The floor boards shake
From outside
It's alright
Long as you looking from fifty feet

I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
Trying not to trust you, yeah
Take another leaf, I'm broke yeah yeah?

I'm done, I give up
I don't wanna pretend no more
That's it, so what
I've lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Cause I don't want you to love me
If you don't wanna love me for me

~ Love Me for Me by Cherr Lloyd

The day after my run in with Fangs and Jacob's admission I was still shocked, not sure I really believed him or not. I was upstairs working on my make up, tonight was the night of the bonfire I had to help Ems get everything ready it was getting close to 5 in the evening time to start cooking. As I fixed my white tshirt I grabbed my keys before hopping down the stairs rushing into the kitchen colliding hard with a brick wall named Embry. I stumbled visibly shaken I placed a hand on my head looking up at Embry he just smiled reaching out to steady me.

"Easy girl, you alright?" I nodded giving my head a little shake trying to keep my body from shaking I had hit him pretty hard, I heard him snicker. I shot him a death glare.

"Shut up mutt it ain't my fault your built like a damned rock!" I said trying to push past him his snicker turned into a laugh as he moved out my way. I walked past him further into the kitchen mumbling about stupid dogs when I noticed Jacob sitting there reclining back in the chair he smirked arching a brow at me an easy smile playing on his lips I couldn't help but feel the corner of my lips pull up in response. I loved it when he smiled… when he smiled at me.

"Someone's feisty today." He said with a small chuckle I just looked over my shoulder to a smiling Embry sticking my tounge out at him, both men laughed at me. Turning around I walked over to the closet pulling out the 3 coolers we had to stack the food in… some food we had taken down earlier. The guys eat like wild animals… I giggled silently to myself, getting a kick out of that one. Tugging one cooler over to the side I started packing the hamburger meat and hot dogs. Bon fires were fun… but man were they a lot of work! As I finished filling up the cooler I looked up noticing Embry had left I arched a brow looking at Jacob.

"Where'd Embry go?" I asked shutting the lid lifting the handle on the cooler, it rolled thank goodness!, I started to tug it toward the door, Jacob smirked watching me as he slowly stood up.

"Said something about dropping by some chick's place." He said waving it off as he walked over taking the cooler from me easily picking it up he walked over sitting it by the door. 'At least he's good to have around for something' I silently mused to myself as I started packing some drinks.

"Kids and their crazy hormones" I muttered to myself as I looked around for Sam's Pepsi he was very particular about his drinks. I turned around looking on the counters then snapped my fingers remembering where I had hid the drinks at… I walked out of the kitchen and down the hall way toward the washing room. I felt Jacob following me as I walked into the room starting to dig in some clean towels that needed to be folded.

"What on earth are you doing?"

Looking up I smirked picking up the three bottled drinks. "Getting Sam's drinks…what are you doing?" I asked tossing the question back at him with a smile. He just laughed as I walked back into the kitchen. A few minutes later I had everything packed and ready to go. I looked down at the coolers debating on which one I wanted to wrestle first, Jacob walked past me picking up two coolers quickly he placed them gently in the bed of Sam's borrowed truck before walking over and picking up the last one smiling up at me. I couldn't help but smile back.

What the heck is wrong with you girl? Don't go following for the big bad wolf again you IDIOT! Remember what happened the last time! That little voice in my head said.

I know, I know you don't have to remind me… I was kinda there. I responded trying not to roll my eyes…at myself. Man I really was going nuts! Jacob walked over taking the keys from me before walking over to the truck opening my door I followed climbing in looking out the window as he drove the short distance to the bonfire. It was still early and no one but Ems and Sam were there… besides us of course. Sam walked over to help with the coolers as I hopped out walking over to Ems, she looked from Jacob to me and smiled I just shook my head no. Just because he was actually being nice to me meant nothing… he was just trying to keep the peace I was sure. Emily sighed before we got to work on the food.

I sighed sitting down in a chair wiping at the back of my neck with a cool cloth, man cooking could burn a woman up! Emily mimicked my motions as she sat down in a chair across from me.

"You would think we were cooking for a fleet of sailors or something." I said rolling my eyes at the pile of burgers and hot dogs, Emily smiled standing up as the pack members starting showing up with their dates. I followed her going over to get the plates and forks before sitting them on the table. I looked up and smiled as the guys hungrily eyed the food. "Women first!" I called out loud enough for the ladies to hear, I smiled as the pack groaned. Kim, Emily and Leah walked over. The other girls stood a little I smiled motioned for them to come closer and pick up a plate.

"Better hurry girls, I can't hold em off for long." Picking up my own plate I placed a burger on it and grabbed some chips. I wasn't really hungry I walked over to the side sitting back down in my chair watching to make sure the guys didn't break my rules as they waited… impatiently… for the ladies to finish. As Quil's date finished up getting her food I nodded, the guys jumped forward grabbing plates and food. Laughing to myself I took a bite of my burger, I looked up searching for Jacob I didn't see him anywhere. As I looked down the beach I saw him on the phone talking to someone, I tried to not let my heart pick up in my chest as I thought he was talking to Princess Bella. After finishing my food I stood up walking over to the radio I turned it on letting the country music fill the beach, the guys smiled as I looked over at Billy who nodded telling me it was alright. Billy and I were very close, he was like a father to me. George Straight's 'Desperatly' played through the speakers and I smiled to myself. I loved my music. Tonight wasn't like our normal bonfires, that's why the pack members were allowed to bring their 'dates' and not limited to just the imprints. Tonight was just a night full of fun, dancing and food.

As another two songs played the guys finished eating and I had watched Jacob quietly eat, not speaking as he continued to look at his phone as if waiting on something. I sighed looking out at the waves, the ocean always seemed to calm me down. When I turned back around Jacob had disappeared, the guys exchanged a knowing look one I hated to see.

'The Watermelon Crawl' came on the radio and I laughed looking at Paul who's face fell while he muttered a 'damn it' under his breath. I walked over placing my hands on the table leaning down to where my face was a couple inches from his he gulped.

"Really Teddy?" I nodded and he sighed defeated before standing up. "Fine, but just once." With that he lead me out onto the 'dance floor' as we started doing the two-step that went along with the song. I was actually laughing and having a good time dancing with Paul, he always seemed to ease my mood. He had his arm around my lower waist, with mine on his back as we danced beside each other everyone except Embry, Quil and their dates had joined in. I was spun around into another 'partners' waiting arms, I looked up smiling at Seth, who returned my smile. He was too cute. As we danced the song changed to Fake Id by Big and Rich, we all just picked up the pace as we danced.

We were still dancing when Jacob showed up close to 45 minutes later he stepped into the clearing my face lite up seeing him but soon fell when Bella stepped out of the trees behind him. I looked at the couple a little shocked at first before I turned back to Paul biting on my bottom lip he turned me to where I didn't have to see them.

"Don't think about it Teddy, don't you dare let him see this bothers you." I nodded holding my head a little higher getting a determined look on my face, Paul smiled. "That's my girl." I smiled as the song changed to something Pop. I continued dancing with Paul moving my hips around in a seductive circle… I knew how to move… I had almost everyone looking at me except for the men with imprints… well that was other than Sam he was watching closely as me and Paul danced together making sure no lines were crossed too far I guess. He would look at me then Paul then over to Jacob who looked as if he could break the table he was sitting at, with Bella on his lap, in two. I smiled up at Paul who danced with me, he knew I was angry with Jacob, he knew I was hurt and trying to piss him off. Paul knew all of this and yet he didn't push me away, instead he moved his body a little closer to mine moving in sync with me. The other guys in the pack danced trying to act like the volcano who is Jacob wasn't about to erupt. I stole a glance at my imprinter, he had never looked so murderous before, my breath caught in my throat.

I couldn't help but watch Jacob as he stood up knocking Bella to the ground, he didn't seem to care as he stepped away from her.

"Jacob! What the heck?" She called out sounding hurt, he seemed to stop for a moment but he decided against it when his eyes locked on mine once again. I licked my lips as Paul turned around to face Jacob keeping me protectively behind his body. The pack got quiet Embry and Quil had left with their and Seth's dates a little bit ago and how had came back moving to stand at the table helping Bella up. I knew they didn't want anyone to see the fight that could… and soon would take place between the two hot headed men. Jared and Sam both moved Kim and Emily a safe distance away from the pair, Seth stepped forward gently grabbing my arm.

"Move back." He ordered softly. Jacob took his murderous stare from Paul then to Seth who was holding onto my arm, he looked at Seth then down to his hand on my arm.

"Get your hands off her." He spoke lowly, but with a 'do it or I will kill you' tone. I gulped as Seth's hand dropped from my arm. I muttered a 'sorry' to Seth he just nodded in acceptance, I was thankful Billy had went home earlier with Sue. I didn't want them to see this. Jacob's body started to almost viberate he was shaking so bad.

Jacob took a step closer to Paul staring him down. "What the fuck do you think you are doing dancing with her? Are you trying to get yourself killed?! I will, I will do it and not regret it. I tensed hearing Jacob threaten Paul like that, I was getting pissed. I started to say something when Sam shot me a 'keep your damned mouth shut' look.

Paul only smirked in response his eyes never leaving Jacob's. "You wanna threaten me Black? You damn sure better be ready to back it up. I'm in need of a good fight…" He said starting to crack his neck, my eyes bulged.

"Don't you dare talk to my Jake like that!" My Jake? My Jake? Who the hell did this bitch think she was? I glared over at Bella who shrunk under my gaze.

"Your Jake? Did you really just call my imprint yours? If memory serves correct, your with the blood sucker no? Pretty sure screwing two guys makes you a whore." I asked moving closer to Bella she licked her lips, I saw everyone's eyes turn to me as I walked closer to the poor, weak Bella. She backed up as I approached. Before I could get any closer Jacob had grabbed me up around the waist giving me a squeeze that wanted to make me cry out in pain but I wouldn't give me the satisfaction.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that Amelia!" Jacob's voice thundered in my ear, I was hurt by his defense of Bella but I wouldn't show it I started fighting in his arms trying to get free his only causing him to tighten his grip on me. "You need to apologize." He siad his voice cold as I steel, I could only laugh.

"Hell no."

He growled and started to shake once again, Paul quickly stepped forward. "Let her go Jacob… NOW." I looked over at Paul as Jacob started to laugh.

"Since when do you start telling a werewolf how to treat his imprint Paul? You don't even have one." He said laughing again, his grip still hard against me. Paul smirked looking Jacob dead in the eye.

"No Jacob, I might not have an imprint but you have showed me how not to treat one when I find her! You selfish, cruel son of a bitch!" Paul thundered as he started to shake. "Amelia has don't nothing to make you treat her this way, unlike the leech lover over there" He said pointing to a shaking Bella.

"Yet all you do is take your anger out on Amelia, one of these days she is going to leave your ass, and when she does I am going to laugh in your face but it is going to be all your fucking fault!" Paul roared in Jacob's face. I shrunk away from Paul trying not to get caught in the middle of them. Both looked murderous enough to kill… and I kinda wanted to live. I sighed in relief as Sam stepped forward.

That had been over two month ago, I sat in a cold lifeless room that was my bedroom. I had soon moved out of Sam and Emily's after I heard them fighting because of me one night. I had caused enough damage. I looked around the room and shuddered as I walked over picking up my name tag before I flew out of the room.I was still in La Push, I couldn't mover far well not until after Emily's wedding. Sighing I stood up walking out of the bed room and into my small kitchen. The house wasn't much but I was growing to like it. It was small but cozy, the only room I hadn't put much thought into was my bedroom, I couldn't really handle going in there. I looked back at the bed room and closed my eyes tight as a memory flashed back into my mind…. I blinked them away before putting on my badge picking up my things and heading out the door, off to Forks hospital... time to work.

Please let me know what you think! More reviews will make me write another chapter quicker!
