When I walk out of the tree line, I see the whole pack, Emily, and Billy waiting outside.

Screams erupt from the house.

"It's been going on for a while," Quil says from where he is leaning next to the door.

"Doc's rebreaking his bones," Embry sounds like he's going to cry.

"Why did he have to butt in? I could've taken that tick!" Leah says.

"Oh give it a rest Leah," Paul says and she glares at him. I run my fingers through my hair, and start pacing.

All of the sudden, the front door opens to reveal Carlisle and Sam.

"The worst is over. He'll be alright," Carlisle says,"I gave him some morphine, but his body temperature will burn it off soon. I'll come back to set up a drip."

"Thank you," Billy says and shakes Carlisle's hand.

"He's asking for you," Carlisle says to me as Bella pulls up in her truck. I push past everyone, in a hurry to get inside.

"Hey Jake," I say to him from the doorway of his bedroom.

"Hey," he says softly, "I was worried about you."

"You were worried about me?" I ask, "I'm pretty sure I was more worried."

"Not going to happen. I'll always be worried about you," he says, then hesitates, "I'm sorry."

"For what?" I ask.

"Denying you, kissing Bella, not appologizing sooner," he says, "The list goes on."

"Jake, I'm the one that should be appologizing. Not you," I say.

He scoffs lightly and says, "Don't be so difficult."

"Says the hot head," I joke, "Seriously though Jake. I'm sorry."

"Me too. I didn't realize what I had until I lost you," he says before trying to go in for a kiss.

I put a finger over his lips and say, "Maybe another time when you're not so loopy."

"I am not," he says.

"Yeah right. I'll come back tomorrow. You better be up and running too," I say before walking out of his room, passing Bella on my way out.

"How is he?" She asks.

"Better. Tired, but better," I say before walking out the front door.

As soon as I get home, my phone rings.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Urgent girls night! At Mak's now!" Brittany says before hanging up.

I roll my eyes and go inside before changing into a pair of black running shorts, a tee-shirt, and fuzzy zebra slipper boots. I tell Dad that I'm going to Makenlee's and grab some grub and my fuzzy zebra blanket.

I like zebra okay? Don't judge! It's not nice.

"I'm here!" I say rather loudly when I walk in Mak's back door.

"We're in my room!" Her voice sounds from upstairs. I dash up the stairs.

"We haven't seen you since like... Forever! Where have you been?" Brit says when I walk in to see them lounging.

"La Push," I state, "I know Mak has been out there a lot recently. Care to enlighten me about Seth? He won't tell me anything!"

"Well," a smile makes its way to her pretty face.

Brit bolts up to look at her.

"We've been talking ever since he transferred, and a couple days ago, he asked me to be his girlfriend," she says.

"Please tell me you said yes!" I say, knowing how deviated Seth would be if she turned him down.

"Don't worry! I said yes!" She says excitedly.

I think I got more excited for them than they are. Seth is going to have to tell her soon. Maybe I should introduce Embry and Brit. They'd be perfect!

"I'm so happy for you! I knew this was going to happen ever since that day at lunch!" I squeal. I really did know though.

"So what about you Alex? Is ther a guy in your life that you didn't include us in for the past month?" Brit asks.

"I'm sorry! I've been busy!" I say, "And maybe..."

They squeal and ask who it is.

"Jacob Black, which makes me think. Brit you should really meet my friend Embry! You two are literally perfect for each other!" I say.

"Wait, Jacob? As in the same Jacob that didn't talk to you for five months straight?" Mak asks.

"Yes?" I squeak.

"You can't just forgive him like that!" Brit says.

"I know, and I didn't at first. It's just... complicated," I defend myself, "There's a barbecue tomorrow, and I'm bringing both of you with me! Seth and Embry will be there."

They pout, but agree. We soon fall asleep in the middle of Let's Be Cops.
