*Alison's POV*

Several days have gone by and everyone has been preparing for the vampire army that was coming in a couple of days. During these past days, Jake fell into protection mode, which was starting to drive me crazy. I mean when I went to the mall, the store, or even the library, he went with me and if he wasn't able to hang with me, he would get one of the boys to watch over me. Don't get me wrong, the boys are great and I love Jacob like crazy, but I couldn't help but be frustrated with him. I don't need to be watched over 24/7 like a five-year-old! It's like I don't get time to myself anymore. Jake called me a couple of times today, but I ignored it, not wanting to be bothered. I felt bad for ignoring him, but I wanted some time to myself. I was currently lying on my bed staring at the ceiling, getting myself lost in my sea of thoughts. The sound of pebbles hitting my window brought me out of my thoughts. I walked over to my window and opened it, seeing that it was Jake. I internally sighed and motioned for him to come up and he climbed up the tree with ease then swung himself through my window and into my room. He smiled and enveloped me in a warm hug. He leaned in to kiss me, but I turned my head, making him kiss my cheek. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion by my action.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he questioned. 

"Nothing," I mumbled. I got out of his grip and walked to the other side of the room with my back facing him. I heard the sound of his footsteps coming closer to me and could feel his body heat basically seeping into my skin.

"Ali, what happened?" he asked as he turned me around. I looked down at the ground, not wanting to answer. I felt his gently grab my chin and tilted my face up so that I was looking up at him.

"Damn it, Ali, answer me! Tell me what's wrong," he demanded.

"You want to know what's wrong?! What's wrong is that you've been treating me like a five-year-old! Everywhere I go, you're always there. I love you and all Jake, but you've got to let me breathe. I swear, it's like your breathing constantly breathing down my neck. Not only that, you're fighting against a bunch of newborns and you don't even seem at all concerned about the risk you're putting on yourself," I ranted and could feel tears of anger burn my eyes, but I quickly blinked them away. Jake seemed shocked at my rant, but he quickly recovered and a glint of anger appeared in his eyes. 

"Look, I know I was a little over-board with the protective thing, but I did it because I love you and I want you safe. You never know if there's a stray vampire roaming around in the area. The only reason why I'm not concerned about the fight because we've been training back to back for this. We know what we're doing," Jake stated and my heart skipped a beat when he said he loved me. Even though we've said it before to each other, it never fails to make me swoon on the inside.

"Jacob, can't you see what you're doing? You're basically putting yourself in danger right now," I said, shocking myself given the fact that I never call him Jacob. I mean I've never called him Jacob until this point.

"Look, if risking my life is what it takes to protect you, then that's what I'll do. Besides, I was made to kill vampires, so why can't you understand that?" he asked, getting mad. 

"Because, I don't want you to get hurt," I snapped.

"Well, like I said before, you don't need to worry. We can handle this," he shot back.

"Oh okay, since you're going to be fighting a bunch of crazed, blood-thirsty vampires, then maybe I'll just join the fight, too," I said sarcastically as I threw my hands up in the air.

"You know I don't like the idea of that and I wouldn't let that happen," he snarled,

"I don't like the idea of you fighting in the fight at all either! You could get hurt!" I yelled.

"You're acting like I'm going to die. The most that could happen to me is getting hurt, but it wouldn't be that bad if I got hurt; I'd just heal right back up. I'm a werewolf and you're just a defenseless human," he spat, making my anger flare up. I'm NOT defenseless!

"Do you realize how selfish you're being right now? I'm not even all that defenseless. I mean, yeah I'm not invincible, but I'm not entirely weak either. You just made it seem like that with all the overprotective crap. I mean come on, I'm not five. Look, all I'm saying is that you shouldn't be in the fight," I said, trying not to yell.

"I told you that you don't have to worry about anything? Why do you have to be so damn stubborn and not listen to me?! I'm doing all of this to protect you! Why can't you understand that? I don't know why I even imprinted on someone like you in the first place!" he bellowed and his body started quivering. As soon as those words came out of his mouth, my heart crumpled to a million pieces. I could tell he regretted those words because his face softened when he saw my hurt expression. 

"How could you say that?" I asked in a cracked voice.

"Ali, I'm so sorry," he apologized as he looked at me with regret. He took a step forward and I automatically took a step back.

"Just get out," I said quietly.

"Ali, please let me explain," he pleaded.

"Get out I hate you!" I screamed. A look of hurt washed across his face. He slowly walked to the window with his head hung low. He looked at me again with a pained expression and jumped out the window. I fell asleep with the argument playing over and over in my head like a broken record.

*Jake's POV* 

I hopped out of Ali's window with a heavy heart and took off running. I shifted into my wolf form, not even caring about my now ripped shorts. Almost immediately, all of the guys' thoughts started filling my head.

Jake, what's wrong?

What happened? 

Did someone get hurt?!

I automatically replayed the argument I had with Ali. I whimpered at the hurt look on her face when I questioned why I imprinting on her.

Dude, what's wrong with you?! Why would you say that to her?! Seth yelled and I winced at the loud echoing of his voice.

I didn't mean that! It just slipped out cause I was so angry. She means everything to me! I whined helplessly.

I don't know if she'll be able to forgive you easily. This happened at the worst timing. The leech army is coming in TWO DAYS! You've got to fix this! Jared ranted.

Ugh, this is SO not helping I groaned and took off running back to my house. I brought my head back and let out a loud anguish-filled howl and continued running.


BET Y'ALL WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT ;) WILL THEY MAKE-UP BEFORE THE FIGHT? WILL THEY BREAK-UP?! STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
