So sorry I haven't updated! Truth to be told...I sorta forgot about the story with all the schoolwork and stuff... :( Well I hope y'all enjoy this chapter!

Heart Broken Ch3

I woke up the next morning and sighed contentedly. Memories from last night came rushing back and I smiled. I went out with Jacob Black! I quickly sat up and checked the clock. It was 9:30. I quickly got up and showered. I walked into the kitchen and smiled at Emily.

"Morning Emily!"

"Good morning Jen! How was your date last night?"

"Last night was good."

"What did you do? Tell me! I want the details now!" I laughed.

"You sound exactly like Allison, Emily."

"Well I am a girl. Can't blame a girl for wanting to know the details!"

"Well we went to a restaurant called La Fermata and had dinner."

"That's it?"

"Well, yea, what else is there to do in a restaurant?"

"No kissing or anything?" Emily wiggled her eyebrows.

"Emily!" I said and playfully smacked her arm. "Of course not!" Emily shrugged and smiled slyly at him. I quickly sobered up though. "Jake seemed really distracted last night though. I asked him what was bothering him but he wouldn't tell me. The rest of the night sort of went downhill from there." Emily's grin immediately vanished and she looked uncomfortable.

"Oh, is that so? Well that's unfortunate."

"Emily, please, what do you know?"

"What?" she asked innocently while getting up to go into the kitchen. I trailed her like a lost puppy.

"Come on, Emily! You obviously know something that I don't! Why can't you tell me?"

"It's not my thing to tell you. Jake should tell you himself."

"Well he obviously doesn't want to talk about it which is why I'm asking you!"

"Just, ask Jake later." I sighed in frustration. I walked back out to the dining room and sat at the table, glaring at the wall. Half an hour later, the door opened and Sam, Embry, Jared, Paul, and Jake walked in.

"Hey Jen," Sam greeted me. "You alright?" I blinked quickly before looking at him. I pasted a smile on my face and nodded. He didn't look convinced but he left me alone. Jared, Embry and Paul sat across from me and Jake sat next to me.

"You sure you're alright?" Jake asked concerned. I looked into his eyes and saw a little guilt hidden there. I wasn't totally sure if it was my imagination but I frowned and quickly erased the thought. I nodded and looked straight ahead. Paul snorted. I glared at him just as Emily came in with plates heaped with food. I got up to get the plates but mainly to be able to clear my thoughts. I came back just as Paul was about to sneak some food because Emily was preoccupied. I fake glared at him.

"What do you think you're doing, Paul?" I asked.

"Nothing," he responded innocently. I rolled my eyes and gave out the plates to everyone.

"Yeah right, like I believe that. I saw you take a piece of bacon." Everyone chuckled as Paul glared. I shrugged. "What? It's the truth!" Paul just rolled his eyes and dug into the food. I smiled and started eating too. Breakfast was quiet and I had temporarily forgotten my thoughts of last night. It was quiet for a few seconds before Jake interrupted.

"So, Jen, what are your plans today?"

"Hm, well I have nothing planned, so..."

"Would you like to come to the beach with me after breakfast?" I looked up into his eyes again and saw hope shining in them. I couldn't help but smile.

"Sure. But don't you want to sleep? You must be pretty tired from patrol early this morning."

"Nah, it's cool," he said and winked at me. I blushed and laughed. The rest of breakfast passed quite uneventfully except for a few comments here and there. Once everyone was done, I took all the plates back into the kitchen and set them by the sink. I went back upstairs to my room to get changed. It was warmer than usual out today so I chose white capris and a light blue t-shirt. I quickly put my hair up and went back downstairs. Sam and Paul had disappeared. Jared and Embry both crashed on the couch and were already dead asleep. Emily was in her room doing whatever. I met Jake at the door and smiled. He smiled back and we walked to the beach. It was silent for a long time. When we finally reached the beach, Jake spoke.

"So how are you feeling today?" I thought for a while.

"I don't know. I guess I'm fine but I'm sort of still put out by last night." He stopped and looked at me.

"Look, there's nothing to worry about. The pack has been dealing with some tough issues at the moment but we are almost done solving them."

"What's the issue?"

"Well there's this red head that keeps crossing the boundary and leaving scent trails around. She's driving us all nuts. We really want to catch her before she does any harm but we just can't seem to get her." I nodded, feeling relieved.

"Well, be safe." I said.

"Always," Jake responded and grinned. I smiled back and was captivated by his brown eyes. They were such a warm brown color. Looking at them made me feel safe and at home.

"Hey Jen!" I heard a voice call out. I snapped out of my reverie and blinked several times, then blushing when I realized how close I had gotten to Jake. I smiled shyly and took a step back. Allison was walking towards me.

"Hey Allison!" I called out. She stopped in front of me and smiled.

"Oh, I wasn't disturbing anything important, was I?" she asked mischievously, looking between the two of us. I blushed and smacked her arm. Jake chuckled.

"Not worries, Allison," Jake said. "We were just talking." Allison smiled even wider and started bouncing up and down on her toes.

"Well I'll catch you guys later. I gotta go now." I winked at me and ran off. I sighed and turned back to Jake.

"So what are we going to do now?" Jake thought for a minute.

"Let's just keep walking."

It was a peaceful walk. Jake returned me home just a bit before lunch. He smiled before he left and ran into the woods, pulling off his shirt in the process. I watched until his form disappeared before walking back inside. I walked in the door and realized that I never asked Jake what Emily seemed worried about. Oh well. I'll ask him sooner or later.

"How was the beach?" Emily asked when I entered the kitchen.

"It was good. We just walked and talked. We also bumped into Allison."

"Nice," Emily said. "What do you want for lunch?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm not that hungry, but thanks anyways Emily. Um I think I'll just go take a walk outside."

"Are you sure? You just came back though." I shrugged.

"Well, it is really nice out today." I responded, smiling. Emily smiled back and waved as I exited the kitchen. I left the house and took a deep breath of the forest scent. Feeling great, I walked down the driveway and turned right with no particular destination in mind. I started humming quietly to myself and followed the road. Soon, I ended up back at the beach. I took off my shoes and walked along the waves, feeling the wet sand between my toes. Once I reached the end of the beach and was facing a cliff, I put my shoes back on. This was the cliff that Sam and his friends went cliff diving sometimes. My feet took me to the top of the cliff and I sat dangling my feet over the edge. The day was still young and the sun was out. I leaned back on my hands and closed my eyes, enjoying the sunshine.

Suddenly, I felt another presence. I opened my eyes and looked around. Standing behind me was a young woman with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. I smiled uncertainly.

"Hi," I said awkwardly, standing up.

"Hi," the girl responded. I looked at her.

"Um I'm Jen Uley, Sam Uley's cousin. Who are you?"

"I'm Bella Swan." I racked my brains. I heard her name somewhere before but I wasn't sure where. I just knew that her dad was the police chief of Forks.

"So, um, Bella, what are you doing here?" I asked trying to start conversation. She looked deep in thought. Then she sighed.

"Well my boyfriend Edward just left town and he told me that he's leaving for my own good. Now I miss him and I really want to see him again. Sometimes, when I do dangerous things, I think that I can see him talking to me. I figured that I could go cliff-diving today." I started at her speechless. This girl was going cliff-diving? Just so she can see her boyfriend? I took a step forward.

"Um are you sure you're ok? I mean, it's a pretty long drop from here to the water." I laughed nervously but she just looked at me. She shook her head.

"You don't understand. This is something I have to do."

"Have to?" I asked. "No one is making you jump off the cliff. You don't have to." By now, Bella had walked over to the ledge of the cliff and was looking over the sides. I stood next to her.

"Please don't jump off." I begged her. "Go find something else to do! I don't want you getting hurt." She just shook her head. Then suddenly, without warning, she jumped off the cliff. I screamed in surprise and stumbled backward. Why would she do something like that? I peered over the edge and saw the splash as she hit the water. Something else moved behind me and I quickly spun around. I was faced with a stunning woman with fiery red hair. Her crimson red eyes were narrowed and her mouth pulled back to show her sharp teeth. She wasn't looking at me but at the place where Bella had stood. She then turned to me.

"Where did she go?" she hissed at me. I pointed over the cliff and she sped over, right next to me and looked over. She growled and her eyes snapped back to me.

"Well, since you're here, why should I waste the energy to jump off and go after her?" I started shaking.

"Please don't hurt me!" I begged. She stood right and grinned wickedly.

"I'll save her for another day. You should make the perfect snack!" I cautiously took a step back, afraid of tumbling over the edge. She stepped closer to me and crouched down. I squeezed my eyes shut hoping and praying for a miracle to happen. Just as the red-head lunged at me, I took one step too far back and fell off the cliff too. I screamed in fear and surprise and saw the red-head come down, headed for me. My heart was pounding as I looked in her evil eyes. Suddenly, my back slapped against something cold and hard and I blacked out.

Sorry for the cliffhanger (haha not really) :D but I'll try to update as soon as possible! Hopefully, the next chapter can be up by next week or so.

~Happy Reading!~
