Me: *sighs* After long thought…I've decided who Schyler will be with. If I make some of you mad I apologize. It took a long time to make this decision but I think it was for the best.


Jacob stared at me for a long while and I shifted my weight. I looked to the side in thought, trying to decide.

"Schyler about Seth," Jacob started. I shook my head some, grabbing my arm.

"Jacob please…I don't want to argue about him," I begged. He looked at me and I stared at him.

"I need Seth. He's…my best friend. I haven't been able to see anyone else but him. And you…weren't there," I said softly.

I saw hurt flash on his features and he looked away. I sighed again.

"I'm sorry-"

"Don't. I deserved that," he said smiling humorlessly. I looked at his hand as he tightened his grip on something.

I stepped forward, grabbing his hand. He tried to take it from me and I frowned.

"What are you hiding?" I questioned. He put his hand behind his back and I glared, grabbing his wrist.

"Schyler don't-"

"Well what is it?"

I held his hand limply and stared at his hand. He was holding something tightly, it looked as if his palm was raw.

"Jake…when was the last time you transformed?" I asked not looking at him.

He looked at me as I opened his hand slowly, revealing my locket. Blood was on it from where he gripped it so hard.

"Oh my god Jacob," I breathed, looking at him. He shook his head some.

"I haven't let it go," he admitted. I nodded.

"Obviously!" I yelled annoyed. I took the locket and put it on my neck before grabbing his hand.

I automatically pulled him towards the beach, ignoring the complaints.

"I'm going to heal," he said. He was right, I already felt him healing. I turned on him quickly.

"Why haven't you stopped! Why haven't you moved on!" I shouted. He glared.

"Why haven't you!"

I shook my head.

"Because! That's why I broke up with you! I needed to move on and look where we are?" I yelled.

Jacob just sighed.

"I've tried. I've even distracted myself with the vampire newborns," he said, crossing his arms.

I stopped confused. I looked at him weirdly.

"Newborns?" I asked. He looked at me quickly before turning.

"Never mind. I have to go," he said.

I chased after him quickly.

"Wait! Newborns! They're the ones attacking in Seattle aren't they? Where I was? That's why nobody wanted me there!" I said, trying to keep up with his fast strides.

He turned to me and stared down at me.

"You were in Seattle?" he asked quickly. I shut my mouth stopping.

"No," I said slowly, watching him. I saw him frown deeply and I played with my nails.

"Maybe…" I mumbled softly. I hated when he yelled at me, and there was no getting out of this.

"Damnit Sky! That's where you were for three days! The three days everyone searched for you and you were in the one place I hoped you weren't?" he yelled.

I squirmed, looking down.

"Well…" I trailed off and he threw his arms in the air.

"Schyler! Do you understand how dangerous it is there! You could have gotten killed and no one would have known! I wouldn't have known!" he scolded. I felt guilt flow through me. He made me feel worse than Bella did!

I stopped, frowning. I looked at him annoyed.

"Hey! Don't yell at me! I went up there because of you! I needed to get away from my problems! That was the only place all of you wouldn't look! It worked too!" I said with a defiant nod.

He set his jaw and stared hard at me.

"Don't even go there," he said. I glared at him.

"Don't act defensive," I replied. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to be defensive over someone I care about! What do you want me to just stop? I don't think that I should stop caring when you disappear out of no where," he said sarcastically.

I shook my head.

"You're such a hypocrite," I said with a damp laugh.

"Yeah well this isn't going to work," he said, pointing back and forth between us. I nodded agreeing.

"Exactly. You're way to protective. I mean I knew you were but Jesus," I muttered, looking away. Jacob narrowed his eyes.

"That isn't what I meant," he said, anger lacing his tone. I looked at him and smiled sheepishly.

"O-Oh. Okay. Sorry. What did you mean?" I asked, ignoring the strain in my voice. He started walking and I watched him.

"Let's just walk. Like we used to," he said, looking over his shoulder at me. His black shirt rustled some as I hesitated.

I nodded then and followed beside him.

We walked down the beach line, familiar to the time we spent together before. I subconsciously touched my necklace, and loved how it felt.

"When we were kids, do you remember how you used to run from me?" he asked, smirking at me.

I blushed and nodded some.

"Yeah. I would make an excuse every time," I admitted.

He nodded and went on.

"And when you confessed you liked me…you ran again," he said looking at me. I didn't look at him and instead stared at my fingernails.

"Right."

Jacob stopped walking and I stopped too.

"Schyler…we have to work something out," he said dejectedly. I looked at the water, staring at it as the waves flowed back and forth, closer and closer to our feet.

"I know that," I said softly. Something in me got warm as I was close to the water, listening to the waves. I felt it snap and an urge got in me.

Jacob walked up beside me.

"Than what are we going to do? We can't avoid each other forever," he said. I nodded, the urge growing.

"I've already tried," I said, staring at the water. Jacob looked at me confused, but went on, watching me carefully.

"What do you want?" he asked gently.

The waves touched our feet and he looked at his shoes. Jacob looked out at the water as the waves got bigger.

"Why is the water way up here?" he mumbled.

"You," I said quietly. Jacob's attention was brought to me as I looked at the water.

"What?" he asked, probably wondering if he heard me right.

I didn't react at first but turned to him. I stared up at him, my eyes clouded as my skin got warmer. I stepped forward so we were touching and I nodded some.

"You. I want you," I said again.

His eyes were half lidded as I stepped on my tip toes. He leaned forwards and I felt my hand touch his arm gently.

Suddenly we were hit.

I screamed and flew back into the air as a huge wave hit us. I landed hard on my side in the sand, lots of feet away from the water's edge. Jacob landed on his back directly next to me and sat up. I pulled myself up and shook my head.

My feeling of urge was gone and whatever snapped was normal again.

I coughed water out of my mouth and looked at the water. It was normal again, far from us.

Jacob looked at me confused.

"What the hell was that?" he asked quickly. I shook my head, sitting up, while looking at the water.

"I don't know," I said, looking at him with now normal eyes. I shook my head again a bit afraid of what happened.

"I-I don't know. I was s-staring and heard the wa-t-ter. I was…an urge," I stuttered, shaking from the cold.

"It's alright. It's okay Schyler," Jacob reassured. He pulled me up and I shivered again.

"I'm freezing again. For like…the third time," I said smiling with blue lips. I held myself, feeling my hair stick to the sides of my face.

"It's cold," I said, my teeth chattering. Jacob motioned to himself.

"I'm perfectly fine," he said smiling a bit. I nodded, wrapping my arms around his torso tightly, feeling that his clothes were already warm.

"You are," I agreed, with hidden meaning. I heard him chuckle and wrap his arms around me.

We stood there for a moment and I closed my eyes softly.

"We can try again," I said softly. Jacob didn't react instead just sighing some. I smiled some.

"I missed you," I said happily.

I thought Jacob stopped breathing for a moment before I felt him hold me tighter.

"I did too," he said, kissing the top of my hair.

I smiled again. I was proud of myself. At least a little. It was so hard for me. I sorta knew how Bella felt. She's been through something really hard.

Me…I've been there too. Having to chose between my best friend, or the one that I love more than anything.

I had to admit though, I loved Seth. The difference between the conflict with choosing…was Seth wanted me to choose Jacob. He wanted me to be happy.

So I did…I chose what I really wanted. What my heart died to see and love.

I was so happy I had him back, if only for a while. Hopefully he was just as happy.


Later that day I was back in Seth's house. Jacob told him to keep an eye on me, kissed me, and left.

I sat on Seth's bed confused. Something went down, something I was in so much depression to notice. Now that I was out of my depression, I needed to find out what the hell was going on…again!

With me. With Bella. With my family. And with the wolf pack.

I looked up at Seth as he walked in the grapes.

"Here," he said smiling. I took them from him with a small smile and he sat next to me.

"So you got wet and almost froze to death…again? You seem to like swimming in really cold water Schyler. I'm surprised you haven't gotten hypothermia," he said smirking. I shoved his arm causing him to laugh.

"Shut up," I mumbled smiling. He shrugged, running a hand through his hair.

"I'm really happy you two made up. It was about time. Being a part of Jacob's pack is very annoying when all he does is whine. Literally. You on the other hand…I'm happy you aren't sad anymore," he said smiling gently.

I stopped eating and put the bowl down.

"Seth…can I ask you a question?" I asked looking down. He nodded, his smile fading.

"Yeah. What's wrong?" he asked.

I looked at him seriously.

"When you said you were imprinted on me...does that mean you're forced to love me?" I asked. He stopped before looking away.

"Sort of. I…don't have a choice. My feelings for you will always be there and burning," he said with a small laugh.

Then he looked at me.

"But that does not mean you have to love me. At all. You don't have to worry about me," he said seriously. I blinked and he went on.

"When I imprinted on you…I felt how much pain you were in. And I felt that you love Jake. I knew instantly you belonged with him, and it can never be any other way," he said smiling.

I nodded and he shrugged.

"It just sucks I guess. Everyone always said I would imprint on somebody that was already in love. They never said it was going to be someone smart, beautiful and in love," he said softly.

I felt bad and he looked at me.

"But…I do love you Schyler. More than you know. Probably as much as Jacob. Not just because of the imprint thing either. It's for the same reasons Jake does," he said nodding.

I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"I'm so sorry," I said gently.

We pulled away and he smiled again.

"You don't have to be," he said shaking his head. I sighed some.

"Well no I am. It's hard to choose between both of you. I just feel so strongly for Jacob. Not to mention the fact you're younger than me. Not that that matters. It's like two years. Still. It's just…I love you. But I love Jacob too. And I feel so bad because I had to choose," I explained looking down a bit.

Seth smiled brightly.

"The one I'm in love with just said she loved me. That and her happiness is what matters. I know you're happy with him," he said gently.

I still shook my head.

"I'm sorry," I said again. Seth chuckled

"It's okay Schyler. Really. You're going to need Jacob more than anything. Forever. But to get through this…you'll need both of us. I guarantee that you'll have both of us there for you," he said nodding.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What exactly…is going on?" I asked slowly. He looked unsure but held my gaze.

"There's…going to be a war."

I went wide eyed shocked.

"What?" I breathed.


Audience: *glares*
