The past 2 weeks have been the same. School was pretty calm aside from our finals. Graduation was a few days away. That means my birthday is also a few days away. Along with Bella's set date for changing. Not sure if I'm ready for any of them. Oh and I can't forget we're going to Seattle to get rid of the newborns soon too.

Life back home and in La Push was still the same, though, I've noticed Jacob has been a little distant again and I'm not sure why. He still hangs with me whenever I go over to the rez but I can't help but think that something else is on his mind but he just won't tell me anything. And its giving me an uneasy feeling...

I was going over to the rez again today and I'm hoping to talk to Jake about it.

Once I got there, I went to Sam and Emily's first, knowing they would be there.

"Hey, what you guys up to today?" I asked after setting my bag down on the table and jumping on the couch to sit down next to Seth. Jared, Sam and Leah weren't here so they probably were out doing patrols, Emily was out probably doing errands.

"Not much you know. Patrols, TV time, food time." Seth informed me.

"So nothing new then." I giggled.

"Is Jake here?" I asked after a few moments.

"He's with Bella out by the ponds." Paul informed. I sat up confused. Seth noticed my confusion.

"You didn't know? Jake said he texted you" Seth stated.

My face fell a bit, "No, he didn't" I checked my phone again to see, but no texts.

"She's probably going to go check on them again to see if he's cheating." Paul teased. Embry smacked his head. I still sat there kind of worried and sort of sad.

"Well they're out by the ponds, you should go join them. I'm sure Jacob just forgot." Seth reassured, patting my lap. I nodded and headed out.

"So Alice has planned a big graduation party, which you're invited to..." Bella informed Jacob but he just didn't really care about it. "Yeah I figured that but I was hoping since its-"

She stopped as she noticed Jacob's strange and quiet behavior. "What?"

"I just wanted to do this differently, smoother...

But now I'm out of time" Jacob started as he looked off into the distance.

"Do what?" Bella asked.

"You need to hear the truth Bella." Jacob continued as he stepped closer to her, "Understand all of your options...You need to know, that I am in love with you. And I want you to choose me instead of him" He confessed.

"I thought you understood...I don't feel that way for you. And what about Av-" Bella started but was interrupted.

"I don't buy it."

"What don't you buy? That's how I feel." Bella countered.

"You feel something else for me. You just won't admit it...So I'm not giving up...I'm gonna fight for you. Until your heart stops beating." Jacob continued.

"Well then you're not going to fight for long-"

"You're rushing into it because you're afraid you'll change your mind."

"No I'm not. I know what I want." Bella finished.

"You wouldn't have to change for me Bella. Or say goodbye to anybody. I can give you more than him. I mean he probably can't even kiss you without hurting you." He suddenly grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, right on his heart.

"Feel that? Flesh and blood and warmth..." Bella nodded until Jacob suddenly grabbed her face and kissed her, forcibly.

Then they heard a gasp a few yards away, which allowed Bella to easily push Jacob away as he was distracted.

"Avalei..." Bella said softly and apologetically then turned to Jacob who was suddenly filled with guilt and sadness but Bella punched him in the face, only to have hurt her hand by doing so.

She yelled in pain, holding her hand and walked away from Jacob, stopping by Avalei who literally looked heart broken.

"Avalei, I'm so sorry. He came onto me. I tried to tell him-" Bella started but Avalei just ran away, tears already stained her face.

Jacob tried to called out to her but it was too late.

But what I sure didn't want to see or witness was Jacob kissing Bella.

I stood there, frozen, my mouth a little a gaped as tears started to fall. Sooner or later when they heard my gasp, Bella pushed Jacob away abruptly, looked at me with sorry eyes and punched Jacob. That didn't really phase me because all I could feel was pain, hurt.

Then before I knew it, Bella was cursing and holding her hand. She must've hurt it. But it can't be as bad as what my heart is feeling.

Jacob was staring back at me, though I avoided his eyes.

Then Bella walked over to me said something but I just ran away. Before I went off to who knows where, I found myself back at Sam and Emily's walking in, tears still went down my face.

I went to grab my bag and almost made it out the door but someone bumped into me, making me stop.

"Avalei? I thought you went to go see Jacob and Bella?" Seth then noticed my tears, "Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" That got the other guys interested in what's happening too as they crowded me.

I wiped away some of my tears, "Its nothing. I'm fine, I just need to go ho-"

"You are definitely not fine. What happened?" Embry asked as he pulled me into a hug.

I huffed in his scent, tears continued to fall down my face and now stained his shirt, "Paul was right this time."

"Alright I was right!...Wait...what was I right about?" Paul cheered then confusedly asked. I pulled away from Embry and wiped my face.

"Jacob kissed Bella." I said as a tear fell down.

"What?" I heard them chorus right after.

"Watch when he gets home, I'll give him-" Paul started but I interrupted him. Though I am surprised at his sudden care for me.

"Don't. If Bella's what he wants, then so be it. Even if she doesn't feel the same. But, that's what imprints do right? Let their soulmate be happy, even if its not with you." I stated.

They were going at it again though I didn't really pay attention and just stopped them, "Guys, if its okay, I just want to go home." They all looked at me with sympathy. Seth came to hug me. Followed by the others. I tried not to cry as much as they hugged me, knowing I'd break down soon.

I wrapped the other strap of my backpack as I made it towards the door, composing myself a bit, "Oh and there's a party at my house in honor of graduation and my birthday. You guys can come with you want to." And with that I ran away.

Why did Jacob have to ruin things? I thought what he and Avalei had was special, and I thought he finally understood what I wanted. But that's obviously wrong.

We finally got to my house and Edward was right behind us. Once we got out of the car, Edward zoomed to Jacob, pushing him back.

"Edward!" I cried out as he kept his hand on Jacob's shoulder.

"Don't you ever think about touching her against her will again!" Edward yelled at him.

"Guys don't do this here!" I shouted but they ignored me.

"She's not sure what she wants." Jacob threatened back.

"Let me give you a clue. Wait for her to say the words"

"Fine and she will." Wait what?

"And what about Avalei? Do you even know where she is? Don't you care that you broke her heart?" Edward provoked.

Jacob kept his composure as Charlie came out, "Hey hey, easy guys easy. Lets take it down a notch." He looked between the both of them, "What's going on?"

"I kissed Bella" Jacob confessed, "And she broke her hand, by punching my face. Total misunderstanding."

"And what's this about Avalei? Where is she?" Charlie asked. We couldn't tell him the truth.

"She's uh at Angela's helping with graduation invitations." I lied. Charlie bought it and looked back at the guys.

"You boys should head home. Bella, have Dr. Cullen help you with your hand." Charlie ordered and we nodded. He then went back into the house.
