Chapter 7

Ignore spelling and grammar mistakes. I try my best. Review or PM. Let me know what you think. There are some unanswered questions, i know. But just wait a little.

Lilly's POV

Jake has been spending lots of time at our house. It has been two weeks since we came back to Forks again, following my illness. I was feeling better now much to everyone's pleasure. However, mom is still treating me like a precious doll. She won't let me out of her sight. She refuse to leave my side, which is becoming quite annoying.

On the other hand, Jake has been a sweetheart. He spends a lot of time with me, talking, playing video games and just hanging out. He is not really very comfortable at my house, i could see that. And, my family doesn't make it any easier for him either. But, he doesn't care about anyone else. He stays cool even when mom growls at him whenever he gets too close to me. I wonder what is that about. I once asked him why he was spending so much time with me, not that i mind or anything.

He said he liked me, almost shyly. I blushed at his answer. I liked him too, so i told him so. Unfortunately, mom and dad heard that conversation. They snarled at jake continuously for the next two days until i told them to stop. After that, i rarely got any alone time with jake. But miracles do happen.

One day, everyone was out for hunting. Alice had to drag mom for hunting. Just me, jacob and dad were at home playing video games. Well, what I can say? I am just like dad and we both are kids at heart. 'ooooohh, that was nice lilly' dad said after i defeated jake for the third time in a row. 'I am so proud of you' dad said while wiping a fake tear.

I chuckled at my dad. He was such a goofball. Jacob just rolled his eyes at us. 'hey lilly, you want to go to the first beach?' jake asked me suddenly. My mood brightened at his invitation as i turned to dad for permission. 'dad' i started but he cut me with a shake of his head 'rose will kill me' he shook his head again.

'daddy please' i said while using the power of puppy dog eyes. Dad sighed loudly and i knew i have won. 'ok you can go BUT be back before dinner' he said. I grinned at him. 'let me get my phone' i told jake before running towards my room to get it. I heard dad threatening jake about taking care of his baby or else. I giggled at them. 'you ready' jake asked when i re-entered the living room. I nodded at him and we took off towards the first beach.

It was beautiful. We walked along the beach talking, joking and laughing. Soon jake's friends and their girlfriends joined us at the first beach. They were having a pack picnic. All of jake's friends were really nice, well except one. Paul. He kept commenting about leeches and vampires until i threw a small rock at him and told him to shut his trap. All of them were stunned at my action for few moments. But soon they all burst out laughing. Like tears rolling down their cheeks laughing. On the other hand, I was still fuming because of paul's comments. But i was satisfied when he took the hint and shut up.

'girl, you have guts' quil said while still laughing. 'yeah, you are really alpha's..' seth started but he was cut off by a hit on his head delivered by his sister leah. 'What... what did i say?' seth grumbled. I was confused. What was he going to say? Something about alpha, but jake is their alpha. I was going to think more about it but kim engaged me in a conversation about my college plans, so i let it go.

JPOV

To say i am happy would be an understatement. I saw my mate sitting with my pack members joking, laughing and mingling. My happiness increased after seeing her getting along with my family. Seth almost spilled the beans about her being my imprint though but leah saved us.

When lilly came back to forks due to sickness, i was scared for her. I wanted her to be healthy and happy, i still do. But i was also scared that her family would vanish with lilly again once she was over sickness. I spent the whole first week with her. Days talking with her and nights outside her window. I was terrified to go home. Terrified of her leaving again. Terrified of losing her.

After a long talk with carlisle, jasper and emmett, i agreed to go home at nights. And all rosalie said was that 'at least at nights we can breathe without mutt's stench'. Yeah she still hates me. I don't call her blondie anymore, even in my thoughts. It was because one time lilly almost had my head when i accidentally called her mother blondie in front of her. Rest of the family sniggered at my expense as my mate ripped me into a new one, verbally.

On the first night, when i went home, i was back at cullen's at 4 am. I admit my trust in them was kinda weak but they were my mate's family. However, it changed after few days. I knew they were not going to leave this time.

I could feel that they trusted me with lilly now, esme and carlisle more than anyone. They understood my bond with their granddaughter. Jasper, alice and emett were understanding too. It was rosalie who caused problems for me. She constantly tried to keep me away from lilly. Ha fat chance there.

I never knew how late it was until lilly came to me and asked me to take her home. I was sad at her departure but the thought of seeing her the next day cheered me up. We reached the vamp mansion to see rosalie pacing the front yard angrily. Oh its going to be bad.

Review or PM please.
