A month had past and Jane was over at the Blacks house walking back outside to Jakes hut as he worked on his car. She went over there every day just trying to experience real friendship, everyone in her head was confused by this new form of bonding. Jane had never had a friend before let alone one she actually trusted so much. She always feared Jacob having enough of her and sending her away but he always smiled when she walked in that door.

Jane used the excuse with Charlie it was nothing but homework but Charlie could see the twos bond. It made him proud to see her reaching out more since moving in with him. Bella on the other hand was a lot worse, constant screams through the night. Nightmare after nightmare making Jane and Charlie also lose sleep from the noise. At one point hammer head threatened to gouge her eyes out if she didn't stop making Jane have to come back quick. Bella was nothing but hollow shell staring out her window as time flew by.

Jane hadn't seen Sam or his cult since she first went to Jakes. She was grateful and sad almost at the weird sensation that spread through her. She missed Paul and she hated him for it, again her other personalities were confused by this relationship but the few that had met him were also missing him weirdly.

Imagine the shock Jane felt when a familiar orange rusty pick up truck pulled into the yard. There was Isabella Swan in all her glory. Jane walked out quietly as Jacob ran full force towards Bella and bear hugging her. "Where have you been loca?" He said excitedly twisting her all around. Jane felt a slight smile come to her face actually seeing her cousin looking lively again. She was actually happy meaning baby doll just had to surface. "OH MY GOD BELLA!" Baby doll screamed running towards the two and giggling as her ponytails bounced as she ran.

She hugged Bella making her count of hugs rise 1 more to only Jake, Charlie and Bella. Although it was baby doll doing the motions making the others upset. They hated being touched and this time mid hug hammerhead was quick to come out and push a little harsh away as she stormed back towards the shed. Leaving an even more awkward Bella and slightly flustered Jake.

"You don't smell or anything no offense I just don't DO hugs." Hammer head said with distaste as Bella and Jacob walked in wheeling two somewhat motorcycles. Bella just nodded grimly as Jacob chuckled quietly. He found hammerhead quite funny and actually enjoyed her company although sometimes she was standoffish towards him. But she actually had some knowledge on how to help Jacob after watching him fix his car. And she enjoyed actually getting her hands dirty.

She tuned out Jacob and Bella's flirting, and over time cooled down enough that Jane came back and she too worked on the motorcycles. But she felt grossed out by the flirting between Jacob and Bella, she unlike hammerhead couldn't just tune it out. "You guys are gross." Jane let slip as Bella handed Jacob the wrong tool and they giggled like school girls. Jacob blushed and looked away, Bella didn't catch what Jane was implying and just smiled awkwardly with a small dry laugh at her cousins face.

Paul 'happened' to be patrolling past Jacobs for the fifth time that day. He did it everyday knowing well enough his imprint would be there and he wouldn't admit it but he was jealous of how much time Jacob was spending with his imprint. It also worried him as he began to see the signs that Jacob could be shifting soon and knowing how confrontational Jane and some of her personalities are that worried him more.

All it took was a something small and he'd lose his temper unless he was home when he got the fever. But Paul knew in his gut that Jacob was mostly never alone, and there was a high chance he'd be with Jane during this time.

———————————————

Jane couldn't control her loud laughter at the burn Bella did towards Quil and Embry having girlfriends. She loved belittling men especially blabber mouth Quil, just rubbed everyone in the underground the wrong way except Jane. She was beginning to see he wasn't bad just loud and annoying.

"Pffft Embry maybe but Quil? No chance." Jane said with snort as she watched them squirm under her intense gaze. "Quils actually taking his cousin to prom." Jacob said knowing that's get an even bigger rise out of Jane. It totally worked as a loud squeal erupted from her as she began wheezing. Embry and Bella laughed to before Quil tried to wrestle Jake.

"I got a 5 bucks in Quil". Embry stated shyly behind Jane who was sat in a tire. "Ten and your on..... want in Bella?" Jane asked never taking her eyes off the boys knowing fully well she was gonna win. Bella nodded agreeing on Jake, and just like Jane predicted he had won by a landslide.

"So what's been going on with you guys lately?" Bella asked quietly trying to be polite but still shy. "We've been at the beach just messing around until Sam and his hall monitors on steroids came and practically showed off the entire time." Embry said with distaste but also seemed heated which wasn't normal for him. "Sam Uley?" Jane asked unsure of why she herself even cared to know but it made a sting come to her heart and head for some reason. A burning sensation that made her delusional thinking she missed a certain someone in Sam Uleys little group.

"Yeah dudes the cult leader on the res with his disciples Paul and Jared." Quil said it nonchalant but the fear was evident in his voice. "I actually didn't even think they were that bad what's wrong with them?" Jane questioned again which was unlike her to care catching Jacobs attention, as he stared at her in confusion. "Well first Jared missed a few weeks of school. When he came back his hair was chopped short, he suddenly looked like a weight lifter, and then a few weeks later Paul did the exact same thing. Both following Uley around like lost puppies." Quil seethed as he remembered the two.

Bella looked engrossed in the gossip as well, it was hard for Jane to believe however. "Don't worry though, they won't be bothering you guys they don't talk to anyone besides those they deem worthy. Besides if you talk to them they just shun you away." Quil said with more aggravation but this confused Jane. "But they were all nice to me?" Jane was now very confused and all the guys gave a look of worry. "Any one in particular?" Embry asked sharing all the boys thoughts.

"Well all of them but I guess that Paul guy mostly." Jane shrugged not feeling really anything but a weird yearning in her chest. Again all the boys shared a look of unease and Jacob looked pissed off. "Stay away from him Jane. He's a real hothead and he's nothing more then a player. Before he started shunning everyone he used to fuck anything within a five mile radius." Jacob said now feeling scared for Jane not wanting to set her personalities off or have a similar scenario happen to her like her child hood. Or really for Jane to get hurt she was his best friend.

Jane just scoffed with a shake of her head, "no need to worry about me or that. Sex is nothing more then the lions calling forth lambs..... I'm no lamb. I can take care of myself." She said before bristly facing the motorcycle she had been working on not wanting them to see the pain in her eyes and on her face. For some reason learning that Paul had been so sexually active pained her so much that it physically hurt. Everyone in the underground went silent the moment they heard this as well, because they too could feel her pain in this situation but also her confusion.

Meanwhile a certain wolf stayed outside in the woods listening to the group bad mouth him. Not just to anyone but his own imprint, he hadn't missed how silent she got after their talks of him and his pack. Paul wondered if she was hurting like he was. He felt a sadness spread through him having not seen her in so long, but also with what these idiots were spreading to her. Nothing but lies. Paul would never just have sex and leave her like he had others in the past. It pained him to think that maybe she was now gonna think this about him to but also her other personalities.
