Things seemed to be going normal, and it was nice, to sit and talk to my friends again. It felt like old times again, but then there were these sounds that sounded like growls coming from the back yard. Embry and Quil dropped there muffins the second they heard it, and ran out back door in a seconds. I looked at Emily, a confused look on my face, but she only frowned. I looked at door where the boys ran out, before standing up to walk out there, Emily by my side the whole time. Her frown had turned into a look of worry, and that only confused me more on the matter of what was going on. When I fianlly rounded the corner, I was shocked, there were two giant wolfs, and they were fighting each other.

"Oh, my-" I began but was cut off by Quil, as he began to pull me back inside, cutting me off from seeing what was happening. "What was that?" I asked him, trying to look past him like I would be able to see around walls.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." He told, looking out the door then back at me. "Stay inside, okay? Don't go back outside." He insure before he went back outside, Emily came back inside not even a few moments later, looking calm as ever.

"Was that Sam and Jake?" I asked her as we walked back to the kitchen, going to continue clean up the mess that had been made earlier, probably from her baking.

"Yes." She said with a small sigh before turning to look at me. "But it is not my place to tell you that, just wait and let Jacob explain things to you." She told me and I nodded my head before looking down at my hands.

I left myself to stand awkwardly in the middle of the dinning area. Jared and Quil walked back in, and returned to eating their muffins, like noting had happened. Sam had walked in and  immediately went to Emily's side and began to give her kisses all over her cheek, especially where the scar was.

"Come on Maddy." I turned to look at Jacob as he stood in the doorway, a soft smile on his face as he looked at me.

He then walked over to me, grabbing my hand and intertwined our fingers together. The othets didn't even seem to notice when we walked out and headed back out front. Everyone seemed to be off in their own little world, not a vare to what was going on around them.

"What was that?" I asked him as we walked over to his bike. "What happened outside." I looked at him as he reached over to hand me by bag, I hadn't even noticed that he had grabbed it.

"I'll tell you more later tonight, okay?" I nodded my head and he lightly smiled. It was like he almost seemed relieved that I didn't push on about the subject.  "Alright, now we have a party to crash." He told me with a playful smirk on his face, as he was proud of his small joke.

"Okay." I said as I tightened my grip on my bag, just feeling a tightening in my chest as I stared at his bike. 

He got on the bike like normal, before turning to look at me, giving off a small smile before I let out a small breath. I did the same as I did before when I fianlly climbed on, putting my bav between us, and I holding on to him, like my life depended on it. I had my eyes closed tight, as I knew I would get sick if I even tried to watch the passing scenery.

I wish that he would tell me now, because I have so many questions that I wanted answers for. More and more just coming to my mind, every second that I waited. I knew there was a reason why he was making me wait, and a reason on why no one else was telling me anything. It was like they all knew this secret, and I was just stuck in the dark, and it seemed like everyone wanted to keep me there for as long as they could. Emily told me to wait, and she told me I that Jacob will tell me everything. Just like he use to, before things started to change. He would tell me everything again, and I wouldn't have to worry about being left in the dark.

"Jake, do you want to hang out today?" I asked, catching up to him in the hallway. His long legs making it hard to just walk to catch up to him, and causing me to have to slightly run down the hall, but it wasn't like someone would yell at me. There was always someone running down the hall at all times of the day.

"I can't, not tonight." He shook his head, stopping at his locker. I stopped next to him, leaning on the locker next to it. I knew I had a sad look on my face, and I really didn't try to hide it.

"Why?" I softly asked, atleast trying to hide the hurt in my tone, we have slowly stopped hanging out. It use to be almost everyday, then every other day, then only a few times a week, and now it does seem like we hang out at all anymore.

He hasn't told me why, and it confused me more when I thought about it. Had I done something wrong? It's like he hated me now, the way he has just pushed me to the curb. I don't know what I could have done to make him upset.

"I'm hanging out with Bella." I sighed and nodded my head, he still had his head in his locker as he switched all his things in and out of his hands.

"You've been hanging out with her alot lately." I commented, trying to keep the conversation going, but it was clear he wasn't interested.

"Yeah." He nodded his head, I looked down at my feet, using one of my feet to play with my shoelace.

"Are you two dating?" I lowered my voice, not looking at him, not being able to have the guts to look at him.

"No, not yet. She just broke up with her boyfriend, she's trying to get over him." I nodded my head, lightly bitting my lip.

"Okay, um. We're playing on going to the movies this weekend. Do you want to come with us?" I tried to change the subject, no longer wanting to talk about Bella, who has been the only thing he'll talk about.

"I already had plans with Bella." I nodded my head, looking back up, but not looking at him.

"Okay, well I'll see you in last hour." I sighed and headed off to the art room.

It was lunch time, but I wasn't hungry anymore, I had completely lost my appetite. Quil and Embry might come looking for me, but Jacob will tell them about our talk they will leave me alone, or he would just continue to talk about Bella, and they would be able to put two and two together. I knew that I wasn't the only one that was getting tried hearing about Bella, but it wasn't like any of us would speak up about it.

At least I wouldn't have to sit through and listen to him talk about her, now I just need to worry about Paul in my next class, but he's seemed to have gottem better, after he had left school for a while before coming back. It would be easy after that since I had Quil in my class after that, then a class with Embry, and I was stuck with Jacob in my last hour class.

Things just don't seem the same anymore, like they're changing, but not in a good way. Jacob seems to be getting angrier faster than he use to, even over the smallest things that had never seemed to bother him before. He use to shove it off his mind like it was nothing, but now just the smallest things get him mad. I never know how to bring the topic up, since I know it would anger him, and that's what I've been trying to avoid.
