Chapter 21

The front door slammed open! “Kayla, Kayla!” called Nana. Alex was started and turned to me. “Sorry, I must be going, but I will see you again” he said. “But…” I tried to respond but Nana called me again. “I’m in the living room Nana” I said as I got up and turned to where Alex was but he was gone. Nana and Sam entered the living room. “Oh baby, thank goodness you’re okay” she said sounding relieved. “I’m fine, what do you mean by me being okay?” I questioned. “Oh its nothing, just your over protective Nana” she answered. “Was someone with you Kayla?” asked Sam. “Yeah my friend Alex” I replied not happy with Sam’s questioning. Sam and Nana went to the kitchen and chatted quickly then Sam left.

“Who was with you?” asked Nana, her tone changed. “I told you a friend, Alex” I repeated myself. “Please don’t allow him in this house again” Nana stated sternly. “Excuse me, I don’t know what’s going on around here in La Push as everything seems to be a secretive, but now you’re telling me I can’t bring a friend home when you don’t even know him” I laughed from anger. “I know his type Kayla” said Nana as she raised her voice. “His type, what type, you don’t even know him, let alone what he looks like, I am not going to have this conversation with you, its ridiculous Nana, I am going to bed now!” I raised my voice upset with the way this has turned out.

I left the living room and left my Nana standing there as I walked out. I got into a shower and cried, why she was being like this, I thought. I left the bathroom and I could hear her on the phone again, I ignored it and went to my room, closing my door.

I picked up a book and lay across my bed and started reading it. “Tick, tick” I heard this noise by my window. I stopped reading to hear what it was, it was something being thrown against my window, like pebbles. I went over to my window and looked out; there below was the beautiful Alex.

“Stand back” he called in whisper. The tree outside my room shook and as soft as a cats landing he landed on my bedroom floor. “Alex, what are you doing here, where did you disappear to?" I asked. “So many questions” he whispered back moving me against the wall and kissing me gently. His lips were cold, I kissed him back, and he jerked up and looked around.

“I am sorry Kayla; I must go, till we see each other again” he said leaping from my bedroom window. There was a soft knock on my door, “Kayla, can I come in please?” Nana asked. “Come in” I replied as I made my way over to my bed.

Nana entered my room. “I am sorry Kayla, I am sorry I shouted at you, but there are things in this world that you won’t understand” she said. “What don’t I know Nana; I know there is lot you are not telling me?” I stated. “I can’t take knowing I am in the dark about something here at La Push, I feel so left out, especially from you Nana” I said starting to cry. “Alex is my friend and you will need to accept that” I added. “He is not good for you Kayla” exclaimed Nana raising her voice again.

“Then tell me why he’s not good for me, give me one good reason?” I begged, but as I thought, Nana couldn’t give me one. “I thought so, I‘m tired I am going to sleep” I said as I turned my back on her, Nana got up and left my room. I went to sleep with Alex on my mind.

My alarm woke me up, it was Monday morning, I was not looking forward to school today. My Nana was trying to be nice to me, but I just got ready and said goodbye and left for school.

Embry’s POV:

We were driving with Jake to school. “Hey Jake, I’m sure your dad has everything under control” I said. Jake was worried about this new scent and the fact that it was around Kayla’s house. We no sooner pulled into the school parking area, and Jake pulled into a parking spot. As a pack we were concerned about Jake’s sudden change in attitude.

“Hey Em, look, Kayla’s over there” as Quil pointed to Kayla pulling into a parking spot across the yard from us. “Where?” asking Jake looking around. “There!” Quil pointed again.


Chapter 22

Jake’s POV:

I look out across the lot as Quil pointed her out to me; she was getting out of her car. Everything was in slow motion as I watched her get out of her car. Her long tanned legs in some sandals, she was wearing a denim skirt halfway between her knees and thigh, her curls bounce as she slides her hair to the side and reaches over to pull out her back pack. She’s wearing her favourite colour top, green.

I watch her as she walks to the school and away from me. I get out the car with the intentions to go over to Kayla, only to be stopped in my tracks as I watch a boy approach her, she seems happy to see him. He pulls her in for a kiss and holds her hand and walks towards the school.

My nose burns and I start to shake. “Jake calm down, not here bro” said Embry holding my arm and Quil the other, trying to pull myself away. “But that thing is with Kayla, we need to get her away!” I said gritting my teeth. “He won’t do anything here, he smells us too and won’t try anything” said Embry as we walked towards the school. Why do I feel so protective over Kayla? I thought to myself. We enter school as the bell rings.

Kayla’s POV:

I pull up at the school parking my car and started walking towards the school when out of nowhere Alex appears. I was happy to see him; he pulled me in for a kiss and then takes my hand. “Alex, what are you doing here?” I asked excitedly. “I thought I would walk you to school, but you drive here, so I’ll walk you to the school door” he says. “Oh” I said sounding very taken by him. “I like you Kayla, very much and I want to be with you” he said so sincerely kissing me and leaving me with promises to be back later.

I enter register class and sit down at the nearest seat as the bell has already rung. I didn’t notice that Embry, Quil and Jake were already sitting. Mrs Dale entered the class and started doing the register; she started calling names in alphabetical order. “Quil Ateara” she called. “Here” he replied. “Jacob Black” she called. “Here” he replied, his name caught my attention and the fact that he answered, I looked up and saw the back of his head. “Good to have you back Jacob” she responded. “Thank you Mrs Dale” he answered. “Embry Call” she continued. “Here Miss” he answered and so on she went until she reached me. “Kayla Hawkes” she called.

“Here” I responded which caused Quil to turn around and smile at me. Mrs Dale completed the register as the bell rang; I didn’t have time to chat to the guys as I ran off to my first class. I entered Biology and sat down at an empty table, I was putting my bag on the floor when I heard a voice, a familiar voice. “Is this seat taken?” he asked. I looked up to see Quil smiling at me. “No go ahead, sit” I offered. “How have you been, didn’t see you most of the weekend?” he asked. “Been busy with Nana’s shopping, spent time at the rock pool and met a new friend” I responded. “A new friend, why do you need a new friend, when you have us?” he responded. “Sure, I barely see you guys, you are always off doing something that I am not allowed to know about” I retaliated.

“But, you don’t even know this guy!” stated Quil. “Not you too, next you going to tell me that he is a serial killer or dangerous or something!” I mocked. “Well, something like that!” he raised his voice. “I’ve had enough of these secrets, yes I know you all hiding something and I will find out sooner or later with or without anyone’s help!” I yelled as I got up and went to sit elsewhere away from Quil. He stared at me and couldn’t say a word as Mr Blaine entered and started the lesson. I ignored Quil for the rest of the lesson.

I went to the rest of my lessons trying to ignore the guys. The bell finally rang for lunch and I left for the cafeteria. I got myself some bottled water and a salad for lunch at the counter; it was so warm the fan was going. I sat down on the far end of the lunch room, unknown to me, I was being watched!

Jake’s POV:

Quil, Embry and I sat down in the cafeteria. All of a sudden this strong scent crosses my path, my heart starts beating faster as I gaze around to source of this scent. My nose leads me to look left at the counter. It;s all happening in slow motion again.

There at the counter, the fan was blowing her hair, blowing her vanilla scent directly at me. I stopped eating, my heart swelled, everything around me went silent, it was like only her and myself existed. Nothing mattered anymore, the pain in my heart it had was gone. I felt so connected to her in more ways than ever. I watched her as she paid for her lunch and walked to the other side and sat down.

Everything I thought that kept me grounded was gone, it was only her, and Bella existed no more! “Earth to Jake, Jake!” I was snapped out of my trance by Embry. “What are you staring at?” he asked as both Quil and Embry followed Jake’s gaze, it ended that we were all looking at Kayla as she ate.
“Whoa Jake, have you just imprinted on Kayla?” asked Quil. “I…er…I…think I just did, I guess so” I replied sounding lost for words. “Oh my!” said Embry grinning. I decided to get up and go over to her as she was sitting on her own.

“Er…hi…Kayla” I said sounding like a fool as I stammered. Her eyes caught me off guard; they were a striking green as she met my eyes.
“Jake!” she yelled out happily, jumping up to hug me, our bodies felt so right together. I could feel the electricity flow through us as I held her to me, her scent consumed me, I didn’t want to let her go, but she pulled herself away but was still holding onto my hand. “Wow, look at you, you’re so grown up” she said taking a look at me up and down swinging my hand in hers. “Oh please, look at you, you’re gorgeous, you have changed so much, your accent…” I said, looking at her she blushed, she was beautiful and still happy to be holding her hand. “I’m still the same old Kayla” she replied as she lifted her hand to wave me off and then finally letting my hand go.

I noted she still wore
