I took a deep breath, each step I took felt like I was being punched right in the stomach. How could I possibly go up to Nate without thinking about what happened with Jake. I mean it's been two days since I've even seen or talked to him.

But that kiss, I felt something and that's what's killing me.

I looked up, my eyes meeting Nate's. He smiled, walking from his group of friends in my direction. I took a deep breath. Just smile and take all thoughts of Jake and the fact that you cheated on your boyfriend out from your head. I thought to myself.

Oh god! I'm a cold hearted witch!

"Hey beautiful."

Nate grabbed my waist, pulling me in for a kiss, I slightly turned my head. His lips touching my cheek. He made a confused face but quickly turned to his normal happy self. "So I was thinking that today you could finally meet my dad." He said, keeping his hand around my waist as we walked.

I took a deep breath.

You should tell him Harper.

No! I thought. I can't tell him, it'd break his heart. I looked up at him, slightly smiling. He smiled back, kissing my forehead. I couldn't hurt him.

Is it fair to him?

I sighed, we stopped in front of my locker. Still not answering him. "Nate." I said, leaning against my locker. "Can we just wait a while longer?" I asked him, "I would love to meet your dad, but I just need some time." I said, he looked a bit shocked. But a second later he was smiling, "yeah sure." I smiled at him. "Thanks." I replied, opening my locker and grabbing my books.

The bell rang, "I'll catch you later." He kissed my cheek, taking off down the hall. I sighed, leaning my forehead against the lockers.

"I'm a horrible girlfriend" I whispered to myself.

What am I gonna do?

I laid on my bed looking up at the ceiling.

Nate sat next to me, "Harper is something wrong?" I sat up, turning around to face him. "No! Everything's fine." I lied, leaning back on my pillows. "You just seem a bit, not your normal self." He said, leaning back next to me.

I closed my eyes.

The sudden image of Jake filled my head, his lips crushing against mine. It faded away, Nate's smiling face appearing in front of me. A tear escaped my left eye, rolling down my cheek and falling off my chin.

I'm so cruel!

I took a deep breath, I have to do this.

"Nate." I whispered, he looked up from his hands. My lip now quivering, "Harper." He mumbled with concern, cupping my cheek with his hand. "What's wrong?" I breathed in, more tears now falling from my eyes. I closed them, I had to do this. It wouldn't be fair to Nate.

"I'm so sorry..." I whispered, "for what?" he pulled me closer. I put my hands on his chest, pushing him away, "we can't be together anymore." The words escaped my lips, I opened my eyes. My vision was blurred but I could still his face, and I could see his shocked expression. He slowly removed his hand from my cheek, "I'm so-" "Fine." He stated, I wiped my tears away. "What?" I breathed, "If you don't want to be together, then fine." He stood up. I could see the hurt in his face. "I'm sorry." I said, "I don't want to hurt you..." He walked towards the door, turning around one last time, "too late." He said, opening the door and leaving.

I stood up, running after him.

He was already outside, "Nate I'm sorry!" I called out, walking down the steps. He got in his car, driving away. Tears streamed down my face as I watched the lights fade away down the road. I stepped back, falling back onto the steps. I pulled my knees up to my chin. Burying my face in my knees.

It's for the best...

"Sure." I whispered.

I let out a sob, feeling the wetness of my tears go through my jeans. I stayed silent, just hearing my sobs and the wind blow in the trees. I could hear a car coming up, I looked up. My dad's truck stopped, I watched him as he got out. I quickly wiped my tears away. "Harper what are you doing out here?" He asked concerned, leaning down in front of me. "Where you crying honey?" He asked, lifting my chin to face him. "I'm just looking up at the stars." I said, putting on my best smile.

"Honey let's go in." He said, wrapping his arms around me. We stood up, I laid my head on his shoulder. "Harper!" Someone called, we both turned around. Embry came out from the dark, "Jacob's been hurt and he wants to see you." He said rapidly, "what?" I gasped, wiping my face again.

"He wants to see you." He repeated. I looked up at my dad, he gave a concerned look. "Is Jake okay?" He asked Embry, "not really, but he wants to see Harper. Sir." Embry said. Dad looked back down at me, "go." he said. I nodded, walking down the steps. We took off down the road, once we were out of sight, I stopped walking.

"What do you mean Jake's hurt?" I asked him, "A vampire attacked him while he tried to save Leah's ass." He mumbled. "What?" I asked, confused. "The fight with the New Born's." He said, "wait what are you talking about?" I asked. "Didn't Jake tell you." He said, now confused as much as me.

"No." I stated.

"We'll let him explain to you, now come on!" He bent down, "Is he badly hurt?" I asked him, panic now starting to kick in. Before Embry answered he stood up picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. "Embry!" I called, "put me down." I said in his ear, "no time, now hold on!" Before I could reply, Embry took off running into the woods, I held onto his shoulders. I closed my eyes.

Minutes passed when I opened them again, Embry put me down. I turned around, everyone stood in front of the Black house. The whole pack including Billy, they all stared. Billy wheeled forward, taking my hand in his, "he needs you right now." He said, I slightly nodded. He let go, I gave a small smile before walking up the steps and opening the front door. The house was silent, a sudden groan broke it.

I walked to Jake's door, where more groans of pain escaped the room. I opened the door, taking a deep breath.

A sweaty, pain stricken Jake laid on the bed in front of me. The right side of his body bandaged.

. A smile forming on his face, "Harper." He croaked, I stepped in the room. Putting on a small smile. "Are you okay?" I asked him, he closed his eyes taking a deep breath. "I'm fine, just in pain." He replied, I nodded, awkwardly standing.

"Harper." He called, I looked up from the floor I was starring at. "Yeah." I replied, "Come here." He said, sticking his hand out. I stepped forward putting my hand in his, I kneeled down by his side. His eyes were filled with sadness, as I starred into them I could remember all the times we were actually happy together.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled, I looked away. "For what?" I took a breath.

Breaking my heart? Kissing me? Giving me these feelings I have for you?

"For everything..." I looked back into his eyes, they looked so sincere. There stood a silence between us, "Harper..." He whispered, "yeah." "I love you..." "I love you too Jake.""More than my best friend Harper. You mean everything to me, you're my life..."

I breathed in.

"You're my imprint."
