Third Person POV.
A few more weeks past, Cat didn't see Jacob, she tried calling him, but if he picked up he said he couldn't talk to her and would hang up before she could say anything, and if Billy picked up he said he was busy. She didn't bother going round, she didn't need to get hurt anymore. Bella was better again, she wasn't with Jessica and the others, she hung out with Sophie and Cat more, but not as much. The girls knew something had happened and it was putting Bella into a thinking state, Cat was jealous because Jacob had started talking to Bella again and not to herself. Charlie had been out hunting the 'bears' so John hadn't seen him much lately and Sue had been to busy taking care of the kids and house because Harry was helping Charlie so Caren hadn't been able to see her much either. Sophie had spent heaps of days at the beach while Cat had felt the red headed girls vibrations a lot lately, as well as the wolves. She hadn't followed them, she had a feeling that kept stopping her, otherwise, everything went by as normal. Cat was sitting outside in her backyard when she felt another chase take way, lately it had been happening a lot and she thought nothing of it, even Sophie didn't bother with it anymore. Cat walked back inside, she didn't want to know what happened this time, she didn't even understand it, why it was happening or what was happening, all the twins knew was that they were in a place with lots of secrets. In the afternoon the two girls were in Sophie's room doing some homework when their mother walked in, she looked devastated, both girls looked at her confused and saddened expression
"What's wrong mum?" Sophie asked softly
"Harry Clearwater had a heart attack" she answered slowly, both girls were speechless
"Is he ok?" Cat asked already knowing the answer, their mother didn't answer her, but her silence said it all. Both girls were sad
"Your father and I are going over to help" Caren informed them
"Alright" both girls whispered, they couldn't believe it, what could have caused this? And so sudden too. Caren left the room and went down to the garage, getting in her car and driving herself and John down to the Clearwater's house.
"Poor dad" Cat whispered
"Poor Sue, and think of her kids" Sophie said softly
"This is awful" Cat muttered, they sat in silence for a while, a long time in fact. Their parents came home and they all sat down to eat dinner, though no one spoke a word. They finished their dinner and all sat in silence in the living room. The phone rang and made everyone jump, it was a shock after all the silence. John went and picked it up
"Hello?" he answered plainly "Oh, hello Charlie" he gave a weak smile which vanished almost immediately "No, she's not… why?" he looked concerned "Why?… did she say why? Or how long she'll be gone?" John asked seriously, now everyone had tuned in
"Alright, if we learn anything we'll let you know" John hung up and looked at the confused and expectant faces of his family
"Bella's gone, she left a note saying she was going away for a few days, no indication why. He says Jake was there when he got home and tried to explain, but he seemed pretty upset" John explained, the girls looked at each other, how much worse could this day get? First a friend passes away and then their friend runs away. Cat, getting irritated, frustrated and impatient got up and ran upstairs, she grabbed her phone and immediately dialled Jacob's number. As usual, no one picked up so she ran the home phone, no one picked that on up either
"Which meant that Billy also isn't home" Cat thought, Sophie came into her room
"Anything?" she asked
"Neither of them are picking up the phones" Cat ground her teeth
"Maybe she's fine, she said she'd be back" Sophie reminded her, though she didn't really believe it herself
"What's wrong with this town?" Cat huffed "Huge wolves, fast running, weird, pale… people, unexpected and unexplained deaths"
"It wasn't unexplained we know what happened" Sophie sighed
"I wasn't talking about Harry, those people who died from an animal attack or something, they don't even know if that's true" Cat reminded her. Sophie couldn't deny her sister there, Sophie had, in fact, been thinking the same thing.
"Of all places to move too" Cat murmured
"We didn't know it would turn out like this" Sophie rolled her eyes
"No, but we could have just stayed in Miami, at least we would be living an almost normal life" Cat complained
"Cat, our lives will never be normal, no matter how hard we try" Sophie smiled
"Still" Cat mumbled.
Three days past, Cat called Jacob almost twenty times a day, trying to get an explanation, out of all those calls, he only picked up once, to tell her he was busy and didn't have time to talk. As usual he hung up before she could even say a word, Cat also tried calling Embry, but he never picked up either. The only success Cat did have was with Quil, she called him and he picked up immediately.
"Hello?"
"Hey Quil, it's Cat"
"Oh Hey Cat, what's up?" Quil asked
"I was wondering if you could tell me, what happened to Jacob?" she asked
"I don't know, he and Embry stopped talking to me"
"You too" Cat asked sad
"Guess that means you haven't spoken either" Quil guessed
"Jacob's been avoiding me, he never answers my calls and if he does he says he's busy and can't talk to me. He doesn't even let me say a word" Cat explained
"He's been avoiding me at school, he's started hanging out with Paul and Jared" Quil mentioned
"Who are they?" Cat wondered
"They're part of Sam Uley's gang, Embry's with them too" Quil answered
"What happened?" Cat bit her lip
"Jake missed some school a while back, and then he started to follow Sam around, he hardly comes to school anymore, and he's always with them, same with Embry, Jared and Paul" Quil remembered
"Just like that, he cut his hair and got a tattoo and started to follow some guy around? How did he even meet him?" Cat was confused, it didn't sound right, like there was a piece missing
"I don't know, one day they just cut me out, one at a time" Quil sounded left out, Cat thought for a while
"How about we go to the beach Quil?" she offered
"Alright, thanks Cat"
"No problem, you can take my car for a spin" Cat grinned, there was silence before Cat heard the phone moving, she thought Quil might have been jumping around. "So, see you in a few minutes?"
"Alright" and he hung up. Cat grabbed her keys and walked downstairs
"Where are you going?" Sophie asked
"For a drive, see you later" Cat waved as she walked down into the garage and got into her car. She pressed her foot down on the accelerator when she was on the main road and sped all the way down to first beach. Cat sat on the sand and a few minutes later Quil turned up
"How did you get here before me?" Quil asked grinning
"I have a super fast car remember" Cat grinned
"True" Quil nodded,
"So I'm gonna take you home, but you're gonna drive, sound like a plan?" Cat offered
"I think I can live with that" Quil grinned. The two ended up spending the entire day on the beach, and when they decided to call it a day, Cat let Quil drive himself home, she definitely didn't let him hesitate when driving on an empty road. Cat actually felt like she did back in Miami for the first time since Jacob stopped talking to her, it made her happier to realise that. She said good - bye to Quil and drove on home, Cat spent the three days that Bella was gone, with Quil, when ever possible. Cat came home on the third day and Sophie ran up to her,
"Cat" she called
"What's up?" Cat asked
"Bella's back" Sophie said simply
"After three days, where did she go?" Cat asked, Sophie shrugged
"But that's not all, the Cullens are back too" she added
"Where did you here that?" Cat questioned
"Charlie called dad to inform him that everything's alright now" Sophie explained
"So if both the Cullens and Bella come back, at the same time then…" Cat began
"She went to find them, something must have happened to cause her to go to where ever they were" Sophie finished, Cat thought for a while when she remembered that Jacob had been there when she left
"So he would know the reason why she left" Cat thought. Cat headed towards the door
"Where are you going?" Sophie asked
"Out"
"They only just got back, and we promised mum we would go out with her today, after you got back" Sophie reminded her, Cat sighed
"Fine" she agreed "I'll just have to go tomorrow" Cat decided. They spent the afternoon out shopping in Seattle, by the time they got home it was to late for Cat to go anywhere.
"I could go now" Cat thought, that was when she yawned "Maybe I will go tomorrow" she decided before she got changed and fell asleep.
"Cat where are you going?" Sophie asked
"You ask me that every time I go to leave the house?" Cat reminded her
"Well, I'm curious"
"More like worried" Cat rolled her eyes
"Ok well after all that has happened the last few months you can't really blame me" Sophie put her hands on her hips
"Ok, I'm sorry, I'm going to go and see Jacob" Cat admitted
"Why?" Sophie asked
"Because, he was with Bella when she decided to leave, he would know why she left and why the Cullen's have come back and all that info" Cat confessed, Sophie watched her for a while before sighing
"Alright, want me to come with you?" Sophie offered
"That's alright, it's been a while since I saw him, I think I'll be right on my own, thanks though Soph" Cat decided
"No problem" Sophie smiled "I'll tell mum you're with Quil, shall I?"
"Might be easiest" Cat nodded, she then hugged her twin "I can always count on you"
"I can to you too" Sophie reminded her
"Jeez, what would we do without each other?" Cat asked
"Have each others powers, as well as our own?" Sophie shrugged, Cat rolled her eyes
"Um, tell mum you dropped me off cause I'm not taking my car" she explained
"Alright, I'll say I spent some time at the beach again" Sophie decided
"Alright, see you later" Cat walked out the door and halfway down their drive way. She jumped into the trees and walked through the forest. When she was in the middle of no where and surrounded by trees she stood completely still and shut her eyes, she felt all the vibrations until she found Jacob's. For some reason Cat had a feeling he wouldn't be home, she was right, his vibrations were coming from the forest, not to far from his house. Cat jumped up into the trees, she always felt more safe and comfortable up there. She ran through the forest for a while before she saw Jacob, walking below her. Cat levitated herself down onto a near by bolder, which, surprisingly, was huge. Jacob didn't notice her, which was just how Cat wanted it, the wind was blowing towards Cat and she could smell his scent with her heightened senses. A few seconds past while Cat admired him, his new look, he wasn't wearing a shirt, just cut offs and runners, his hair was spiky and a little damp from the damp air, he was so tanned, maybe even tanner then the last time Cat saw him.
"As if he wasn't tall enough, now he's massive" Cat thought, she didn't move and her breathing was very quiet, eventually she spoke
"You know, it's not very smart to walk around here alone" she admitted, watching him "You never know what might be in here" Jacob froze the second he heard her voice, he turned to look at her, completely surprised, she was sitting on a boulder, how did she get up there?
"How did she get there without me noticing?" Jacob thought, he looked at her face, she hadn't changed at all since he'd last saw her. He felt his heart leap, he hadn't seen her in so long, he hated how Sam had ordered him not to talk to her anymore. Then again, he hadn't spoken to her much when he started talking to Bella, that thought made him hurt inside, the thought of her just telling him she'd never be able to love him. He didn't by it though, not after all they went through
"Bloody Leech" Jacob swore. He looked back up at Cat,
"You could at least say something" she said, she didn't look happy, but she didn't look mad either. Cat jumped off the rock, landing ever so lightly on her feet. She stood up straight and looked at Jacob, he looked into those clear, cobalt blue, eyes of hers, that was when everything changed. Jacob's entire centre of gravity changed, it wasn't gravity holding him to the planet any more, it was her. It was like all these strings that attached him to other things, like Bella, were all cut and thick, steel, cables replace them, tying Jacob to this one person, to Cat. Jacob couldn't take his eyes off of Cat, she was stunning, he'd never seen something more beautiful, her scent was like a drug, Jacob needed more and more of it, he didn't want to leave her. Cat had felt it too, she suddenly felt tied to Jacob for some reason, she had liked him before, now she didn't want to be away from him, she didn't understand. They stood there silently for a while before Cat remembered why she was here
"Nice to see you finally" she said, but it came out coldly, which wasn't her intention. Jacob couldn't speak, Cat felt a little sad now
"You haven't spoken to me for months, and you can't even say anything now?" she asked softly. Cat's voice sounded like wind chimes to Jacob's ears, a perfect melody.
"Not even an explanation?" Cat asked, Jacob still didn't say anything. Cat felt the anger slip into her system, her body temperature started to rise, she tried to take a deep breath and calm down but it wasn't working.
"You don't speak to me for months, you push Bella away, then take her back, then she runs away to find the Cullens and doesn't come back for three days, freaks her dad out and now you're out in the forest walking around randomly, and you can't even say a word?" Cat was no longer angry, but very upset, she was on the verge of tears. Cat was about to start again when Jacob walked towards her and pulled her into a hug, Cat stood there surprised for a few minutes. Surprised that he had just hugged her and by the temperature of his skin, it was as warm as hers.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he whispered in her ear. Cat felt her sadness die a little as she hugged him back, eventually he pulled back "I'm sorry," he said again. Cat rolled her eyes
"Stop apologising" she ordered, but she was smiling "It's just good to see you again, though I am a little mad at the way you replaced me like that" she confessed, crossing her arms
"Replace her?" Jacob thought, Cat glanced at him, she had heard that, it wasn't the first time she had heard someone's thoughts other then her own, but it was the first time she had heard Jacob's.
"Come on, you stopped talking to me when Bella and you started working on those motorcycles" Cat sighed, Jacob gave her a look
"How did she know about that?" he thought, Cat sighed
"Bella told us" she confessed, Jacob looked even more surprised "Dude it's all in your expression!" Cat grinned, Jacob sighed
"So, going to tell me what happened? Why you cut off all your hair? Why you're suddenly in some gang? Why you told Bella you couldn't be friends, then changed your mind? Why you're walking around half naked?" Cat had an evil grin on her face at the end. Jacob rolled his eyes
"How can I tell her?… I can't" Jacob mentally sighed
"Well?" Cat asked expectantly
"What do you mean some gang?" he asked
"Dude you started hanging out with that Sam guy, same with Embry, 'he's always following Sam around and he hardly comes to school anymore'," Cat explained, Jacob looked confused "Well you wouldn't talk to me, neither would Embry so I asked Quil, I just quoted him by the way" she added, Jacob sighed
"It's nothing really" he lied
"Oh really, so you ditched Quil, stopped talking to me, started walking around in the forest, missed lots of school, got a tattoo and let Bella go where ever it is she went over nothing?" Cat asked
"I didn't let her go, I tried to stop her!" Jacob defended "I begged her" he whispered, Cat frowned
"Well, at least you tried" she admitted "Charlie was really worried" she muttered "And then she had to bring that awful boyfriend of hers back" Cat glared a little
"Aww don't you like him?" Jacob mocked
"After what he did to Bella, after the chain of events he caused, after ruining our friendship, definitely not" Cat admitted
"Ruining our friendship?" Jacob questioned, Cat blushed
"Well, think about it…" she started "If he hadn't left, Bella wouldn't have become so depressed and wouldn't have needed a friend so much, if that hadn't happened you might not have stopped talking to me for so long and everyone would be happy, but no he had to be selfish and leave… and then come back again?!" Cat finished angrily "What kind of person does he think he is, I'll fry him before he proves to me he's ok" she muttered. Jacob grinned
"Wow, and you haven't even met him yet" he reminded her
"And I don't want to" Cat murmured "To bad, I have to go to school with him" she whined, Jacob laughed
"Right, next thing" Cat decided changing the subject "Why are you out here?" she asked, Jacob stopped laughing "That got you attention" she grinned
"What about you? Why are you here?" he asked
"One; I asked you first, two; I was looking for you" she confessed
"Why?" Jacob asked
"Because I wanted to know where Bella went three days ago, and why she brought her awful, selfish boyfriend back with her" Cat answered, Jacob was silent
"Yeah, I knew you knew" Cat decided
"Don't go making assumptions" Jacob argued
"But you do know" he was silent "Thought so" Cat sighed "So, gonna answer me?", he sighed again
"She went to Italy" he admitted
"Why?" Cat asked
"To get her lee-boyfriend" Jacob ground his teeth, even if he had imprinted on Cat, that didn't change his mind about Edward "His pixie sister came back and they went over there together"
"Why did they need to go get him?" Cat asked, Jacob didn't answer her "Is that your way of keeping quiet, cause it just proves that you know the answer?" she reminded him, he stayed silent "Fine" she ground her teeth "At least you answered some of them"
"Sorry, I don't know much else" Jacob apologised
"You can't lie to me Jake" Cat sighed "I know you too well" she smiled, Jacob couldn't help but smile back "Now, back to my other question; why are you out here?"
"Taking a walk" Jacob shrugged
"Uh huh, and I'm meant to believe that?" Cat asked
"Don't see why you shouldn't" Jacob confessed, Cat rolled her eyes. Her phone began to ring and Cat answered it
"Hey Sophie"
"Hey, did you find him?"
"Yes" Cat answered
"And?" Sophie asked expectantly
"Bella went to Italy" Cat said plainly
"Why?"
"To get Edward" Cat scowled a little
"Why?" Sophie repeated
"I don't know, mr 'know it all' wont tell me" Cat rolled her eyes
"Why not?"
"Don't know" Cat gave him a look and Jacob held his hands up in surrender. Cat sighed
"Well that's helpful" Sophie sighed, Cat giggled
"Sorry, talk to you later then?" she suggested
"Alright" Sophie sighed and she hung up. Cat looked back at Jacob
"So, what should we do now?" she asked smiling "Seeing as you wont answer my questions"
"Well…" Jacob was going to offer if she came back to his house seeing as she hadn't been for ages, but remembering that Sam had ordered him not to even talk to her, stopped him
"Hang on, if Sam had ordered me not to talk to her, how come I just did?" Jacob thought, that thought confused Cat a lot. Cat sighed
"How about you talk to me later, specially if my mum thinks I'm at Quil's, I should probably be going home" Cat admitted
"Quil's?" Jacob asked
"Well after I called him the other day I ended up spending a lot of time with him the last few days" Cat shrugged "Not my fault you cut me out" that made Jacob feel very angry with himself, how could he have done that to her "Also the sun's going down so I should probably get home anyway"
"I'll… talk to you later then" Jacob half asked
"You better" Cat grinned, she hugged Jacob, feeling warmer when she did, she was still surprised by his temperature, but decided to ask him later. Cat waved goodbye and turned around to walk back to her house, leaving him standing there. As soon as she was out of eye sight of him she immediately jumped up into the trees and ran super fast back home. Jacob stood there, feeling a pain grow as she walked further and further away from him. He didn't want to leave her side, he wanted her back in his arms again.
Cat arrived back home and walked through the front door
"I thought you'd stay with him longer?" Sophie admitted when her sister walked into kitchen
"Well it was awkward, and I was a bit confused" Cat admitted as she sat on one of the bar stools at the island bench
"Why?" Sophie asked as she sat next to her with a cup of coffee, handing her sister one too
"Well, I heard his thoughts" she admitted
"Bout time" Sophie confessed taking a sip of her drink
"No, well yes, but he was thinking about some things that didn't make any sense" Cat explained
"Like what?" Sophie asked curious
"Well, he wanted to tell me something but for some reason couldn't, then there was something about Sam ordering him not to talk to me, and he was confused how he was able to when he'd been ordered against it" Cat explained
"How can someone order something and that person physically having to obey?" Sophie asked
"I don't know, but he looked confused when he thought that, like he knew he had been ordered to do it, but didn't understand how he was able to disobey that order" Cat informed
"Weird" Sophie muttered
"I just don't understand" Cat muttered, she suddenly gasped
"What?" Sophie asked, Cat pulled her phone out of of pocket really fast and scrolled through her text messages, she found the one she was looking for, it was the one Bella had sent her when Jacob had first changed, she opened it and read it.
"Hey, Jake come round. He apologised to me. He's still the same, but a little more… outgoing. I'm not sure how to explain it. I think he's hiding something, something he want's to tell me but can't. Anyway, I just thought you'd like to know." Cat read the message around three times before her thoughts began to race around. Jake was hiding something, even Cat was sure of it now, not only that but it was an extreme secret, it had forced Jacob to push both Cat and Bella further away, even Quill was excluded because of it. However Sam, Embry, Jared and Paul were somehow involved and knew what was going on.
"But I can't just walk up to them and ask, they'd never listen to me, plus I only know Embry, even he wont tell me after all that's happened. I don't even remember the last time I spoke to him" Cat thought
"Oi, Cat" Sophie snapped her fingers in Cat's face pulling her out of her thoughts
"What? Oh, sorry" Cat apologised
"What happened? You suddenly just zoned out?" Sophie asked
"Yeah, I know, thinking" Cat admitted "Somehow everything fits together, sort of" "Sorry" she said again, Sophie sighed
"You know I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what's going on?" Sophie half asked
"Sorry, but I don't even know" Cat admitted, all she knew was there was a secret, and she needed to find it out, otherwise she'd always be confused and worried.
