"You in tonight?" Lily's mum asked as she came downstairs to see her daughter washing dishes in the kitchen.

Lily shook her head. "Dinner at Zack's tonight."

Her mum nodded, "of course." She looked up at the clock on the wall as she poured herself a cup of coffee. "You going to be late?" she asked.

"No, been early every day this week."

"Jacob drives fast then?" she asked with a smug smile as she held the mug up to her lips.

Lily's head snapped towards her mum. "How did you-?" she asked softy.

Her mum said nothing, just raised her eyebrows indicating Lily can't hide anything from her.

"He gets me there on time," Lily said quietly.

Her mum shook her head amused. "At least he gave you his helmet. Not a fan of the bike, by the way."

Lily rolled her eyes.

"Nice girls don't ride bikes," her mum said with an amused twinkle in her eye.

Lily shook her head at her mum, realising she was trying to wind her up. "I must not be a nice girl then," she joked back, poking her tongue out at her mother.

Her mum chuckled as Lily planted a kiss on her cheek. "Have a good day, baby."

"You too!" Lily called back as she grabbed her backpack and ran out the door.

As she drove to Forks, Lily found herself missing Jacob. His jokes, his laughter, his warmth – his company. She felt a little guilty. Today was Zack's day, she told herself.

"Lily!" Eric said loudly as she approached their table at lunch. A hush fell over the table as they promptly stopped their conversation.

Lily fidgeted slightly as she walked up to them. Were they talking about her? No, you're being paranoid, she told herself with a shake of her head.

"Hey," she smiled at them.

There was a chorus of 'hello's' in response as she sat down.

"Good news!" she smiled at Angela who was looking down avoiding her guys. "Jake says he'll take us to some of the meadows in La Push on Sunday morning if you're up for it?"

Angela looked up with a strained expression. She smiled nervously and opened her mouth to speak but Eric spoke first.

"-Fantastic! Your dad won't mind you missing his service, right?" He asked, directing the question to Angela.

Angela shifted uncomfortably. "Should be fine," she said although she shot Eric a pleading look.

"Relax," Jessica hissed at her, barely audible.

"Is everything okay?" Lily asked slowly.

"She's fine, just one of those days -you know, how it is," Jessica said with a pointed look. Lily screwed her face up in confusion. 'Period' Jessica mouthed.

'Oh' Lily mouthed back, nodding slowly.

"So, what are your plans for the weekend?" Jessica asked Lily as she picked at her fries.

"Hanging out with Zack and Jake," Lily smiled.

"Oh?" Jessica said her eyes bright, "I feel like there's a story there."

Lily gave her a confused look.

"You're kidding?" Jessica laughed, only causing Lily to be more confused. "You'll have to tell me about your weekend on Monday." Jessica shook her head at Lily's obliviousness. "I was only asking as me – Angela and I – are going dress shopping, in Port Angeles, for prom, on Saturday if you want to come."

Lily's heart sunk a little. "That sounds so fun," she said genuinely.

"We can do next weekend if you want?" Jessica offered kindly. "Right, Angela?"

Angela nodded.

Lily smiled at the first girl. "You don't mind?"

Jessica smiled widely, "not at all! The more the merrier!"

Lily turned to look at Bella, who was staring at her food as normal. "Are you not coming, Bella?" she asked with a gentle smile and wide eyes.

Bella didn't look up. "I'm not going to Port Angeles with her again," Jessica said adamantly with a shake of her head.

Angela shot her a look, telling her she was being rude. "Bella doesn't like dances…and since the Cullen's – we didn't think she would want to," Angela smiled kindly.

"Doesn't matter if she wants to, she's not coming." Jessica stated.

"Jess," Angela hissed.

"No." Jessica hissed back, raising a finger at Angela. "She got on the back of some random's motorbike leaving me alone – in a bad part of town! I'm not going with her, again!"

Lily stared at Jessica, his eyes wide. "She did what?"

"Honestly," Jessica said with an eye roll. She chewed on her lip but didn't say anything.

"Anyway," Eric said dragging out the word to encourage someone to change the topic of conversation.

"What are you doing this weekend?" Lily said, opening the question to the group.

"Obvs, was meant to go Port Angeles-" Jessica began, "so will probs just catch up on homework. Maybe we could meet in La Push on Sunday after your photographs?"

"Yeah, that would be great!" Angela nodded, excitedly.

"Uh, I can't," Lily said biting her lip. "I promised Jake."

"Busy girl," Mike grinned. "I'm in," he said turning to Jessica.

"Give us a text if you can meet," Angela smiled. "Where's your phone? I'll add my number."

Lily fumbled in her pocket for her phone before passing it to the kind girl. "Will do."

Angela added her number. "I've added yours too," she said turning to Eric, as she moved to pass Lily's phone back to her.

"Pass it here," Jessica said. She added her number before silently offering it to Mike who did the same. Lily smiled to herself; she had actually made friends.

Mike eyed Bella. She still wasn't paying attention. Mike shrugged as he passed the phone back to Lily with a small smile.

"Sometimes I think she wouldn't realise if we weren't here." Jessica said with an eye roll.

"Jessica!" Angela hissed.

"What? She sat alone at the Cullen's table for months!" Jessica said, with an annoyed squat in Angela's direction.

"Have you done the biology homework?" Mike asked, looking around the group although his gaze settled on Angela as he smiled hopefully at her.

Angela rolled her eyes and pulled a notebook from her bag and slid it towards him.

"Sorry," he said with a charming smile. "I had to work," he said.

"It's fine," Angela smiled kindly. "This time," she joked with a twinkle in her eyes.

Mike grinned at her, "thank you."

Eric looked at her somewhat taken a back. "I got chewed out in English last week because you wouldn't let me copy!"

"That's different," Angela said. She rolled her eyes and smiled at Jessica. "You were being annoying," she giggled.

"Plus, definitely would be suspicious if you suddenly improved that much," Jessica teased.

Eric's face fell into a glare as he repeated her words back to her in a mocking tone.

Lily laughed alongside Jessica and Angela. The group continued to joke for the remainder of their lunch.

Angela grabbed Jessica's elbow as they left the cafeteria pulling her back. "Have you told Bella?" she whispered harshly.

"I've not had the chance," Jessica whispered back. "We have Spanish tomorrow, that's always quiet – I'll tell her then."

Angela nodded, chewing her lip. "I'm not sure we should do this."

"This was your idea," Jessica hissed at her.

Angela flinched slightly. "I know but…I feel bad."

Jessica immediately felt bad for snapping at her friend. "We'll feel worse if we don't," Jessica reasoned.

Angela licked her lips as she nodded in agreement.

Jessica smiled at her before pulling her into a one armed hug. "Lets get to Biology."

Lily pulled up behind Zack, blocking his car in the drive way. She smiled widely as she climbed out of the car. He smiled back as he engulfed her in a bear hug. "Miss me?" he asked. She nodded into his shoulder.

"What's the plan for tonight?" she asked, beaming up at him as she pulled away.

Zack shrugged. "I've got some homework."

Lily's face fell in disappointment. "You were meant to do it all yesterday," she nagged.

"I know," he said, running his hand over his face. "I was tired after practice, I just didn't get the chance."

Lily gave a weak smile and nodded moving towards the house.

"Are you mad?" he groaned.

Lily shrugged. "A little," she admitted.

"Kyle's home this week – you could hang with him for a bit?" he suggested as he turned the key in the door.

Lily nodded slowly.

Zack dropped his bag at the table and pulled out his work book. Lily sat on the sofa. Alone. She flicked through the channels on the television desperately searching for something interesting.

Her head snapped to the stairs when she heard the plod of heavy footsteps descending. Kyle appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "My lame brother not keeping you entertained?" he grinned, sitting next to her as he text on his phone.

"Yeah," Lily said with a mischievous smile. "He's the worst," she said loudly.

"I can hear you," Zack called.

"That's the point, dumbass." Kyle called back, not looking up from his phone. He put it on the coffee table face down before turning to Lily. "Wanna play?" he asked, picking up a games controller.

Lily shrugged.

He handed it to her, grabbing another for himself. "Mario Kart?" he grinned.

Lily grinned back with an enthusiastic nod.

"Hows Forks?" he asked as he set up the game.

"Okay, how's college?"

"Shit," Kyle laughed.

"Must be bad if you're home mid week."

Kyle pumped his eyebrows as he nodded, his face transforming into one of grief. "One of my housemates is missing, he's from Forks. I've been helping his parents flyer everywhere," he said with a heavy exhale.

Lily looked up at him with sympathetic eyes. Her mouth hung slightly ajar as her mind raced for something to say. "Which one?" She shook her head at herself, she hadn't meant to come off so unsympathetic.

Kyle smiled lightly at her. He reached out a hand to pat hers, communicating it was okay. He understood. He had no idea what he'd say in this situation either. "Riley," Kyle said, "Riley Biers."

"He's the History major?" Lily asked, as she filtered through her memories.

Kyle nodded.

Lily chewed her lip as the memory of Zack's last house party came to mind.

A game was on the television and the boys were all crowded around, shouting at it. They had red cups in their hands, beer was sloshing over the edges as the jumped to their feet in either excitement or annoyance.

Girls stood around the living room, huddled in groups as they chatted to each other. Lily and May were amongst them.

Kyle burst through the door with crates of beer in his hand. "Lets get this party started!" he shouted, his friends following him in carrying a keg. "In the kitchen, lads!"

The keg was promptly set down in the kitchen whilst Kyle grabbed the television remote, turning the game off. "Come on boys, lets not neglect the ladies," he said with a charming smile.

He span round to face Lily and May. "Put some music on, will ya Lily?"

Lily obliged.

Once people began to mingle, Kyle walked over to Lily. "Trust Zack to throw such a lame party," he grinned.

Lily smiled back, shaking her head. She was used to the brother's constantly shitting on each other.

"Where is he anyway?" Kyle asked, his head spinning around.

Lily shrugged, "I've not seen him for a while."

"Not going to look for him?" Kyle said with a furrowed brow.

Lily jerked a thumb towards May. "Can't leave May all alone."

Kyle pulled a pensive pout and bobbed his head as he considered her excuse. "Well May, pleasure to meet you. Kyle." He gently grabbed her hand and kissed in, dramatically.

May giggled.

"Stop chatting up the sophomore's!" A skinny blonde boy said, throwing an arm around Kyle.

Kyle rolled his eyes, shoving his friend playfully. "Only 'cuz you want the chance."

The boy grinned.

"This is Lily, Zack's girlfriend, and her friend May," Kyle said pointing his head towards the girls.

"Riley," the boy smiled. He had a dimple in his right cheek.

He politely spoke to the girls about everything – colleges, art, boyfriends, La Push. He was nice. Clearly made an impression on May; Lily remembered how she had spoke about him constantly for a week after.

"He was nice," Lily said with a weak smile.

Kyle shrugged. "Yeah…we'll find him, probably off with a girl," he said with an equally weak smile. As much as he wanted to be right, he was entirely unconvinced by his own words. "You looked at colleges yet?" he asked, quickly changing the topic.

Lily shook her head. "No – apparently the community college is shit," she grinned, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Kyle grinned at her, "got that right…Princess Peach, huh?"

"What's wrong with that?" Lily asked defensively.

"Nothing," Kyle grinned, holding his arms up in surrender. "Princess," he added teasingly.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Shut up, you picked Mario!"

"Your hero," he winked.

Lily laughed. "You wish!"

"You flirting with my girlfriend?" Zack said from the doorway.

"Someone's got to," Kyle teased.

Zack rolled his eyes, unamused.

"How's your homework going?" Lily said, looking up at him from the sofa.

"Almost done."

"Why'd you come in here then?" Kyle asked harshly.

Lily elbowed him. 'Rude,' she mouthed at him.

"Sounded like you were having too much fun," Zack snapped.

Kyle rolled his eyes. "I'm oodles of fun, baby brother."

Zack pulled an annoyed face before returning to his seat at the table.

Kyle turned back to the game, selecting the race.

"Oddles of fun?" Lily repeated back, trying to contain laughter.

Kyle grinned at her. "Shh! Fun police will hear you," he said with a wink.

In the midst of their third race, the decider for who would win the Star Cup, Zack re-entered the room. "How long are you going to be?"

Lily didn't take her eyes off the road as she took a sharp corner, leaning into the movement. "Last race."

Zack nodded, his jaw clenched.

Lily bit her lip as she sped down the final straight. She was in first place when BAM! Angel shell.

"Yes!" Kyle shouted, jumping to his feet in celebration.

"Fifth place!" she cried out.

"Sorry, Princess!"

"I was so close," she pouted.

"Rematch?"

Lily looked up at Zack who was growing more impatient by the second. "Raincheck?" she said, turning back to him with a strained smile.

Kyle looked over at his brother. He rolled his eyes and nodded.

"See ya!" Lily smiled back at him as she walked to Zack who led her upstairs.

Kyle raised his hand as a gesture of goodbye. Trust his baby brother to throw a strop because Kyle was entertaining his girlfriend.

Lily smiled as she sat on Zack's bed. Zack smiled lazily at her as he shut his door. "I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay," Lily whispered as he moved to sit next to her. "Tell me about your day," she asked.

Zack shrugged, "not much to tell. Played football with the guys at lunch…had a Chemistry quiz…um," he ran his hand over his face. "I think that's about it."

"How'd your test go?" Lily encouraged.

Zack screwed up his face. "Meh."

Lily gave him a strained smile. "I don't mind helping you," she offered.

"I don't want to spend all our time doing school work," he said shifting on the bed.

"We could meet more often," she suggested. "I'm in Forks anyway now."

"No." Zack said firmly.

"Why not?" Lily asked, her brows furrowed.

Zack huffed. "Because I said so."

"I don't understand."

"I'm busy – okay?!" He snapped. "I barely see my friends anyway!"

Lily bit her lip as she felt her heart sink. "We don't have to see each other so much," she suggested quietly. She felt small – unimportant.

That nagging voice from the back of her mind returned again; Jacob wouldn't do this.

She felt her lip tremble. She wanted to disagree with it. She wanted to argue…but she couldn't.

"Maybe," Zack said looking down at the bed. He traced the pattern of the duvet with his fingers. "Just struggling a bit at the moment," he admitted.

Lily looked up at him with a sympathetic smile. "Oh," she said forcing a happy smile onto her face. "I'm going to Port Angeles next Saturday."

Zack's eyes snapped up at her. "With who?"

Lily's brows furrowed at his harsh tone.

"-Jacob?" he spat before she was able to reply.

Lily clenched her jaw. "No." Her eyes went cold as she stared at him. "I'm going with the girls from Forks, dress shopping…for prom."

Zack looked back down at the cover. Shame washed over him.

"You need to get over this," Lily snapped.

Zack bit the inside of his lip and closed his eyes. He nodded. He knew she was right, but it didn't make him feel any different. "I know," he breathed. "Sorry."

Lily nodded, swallowing the lump in his throat. "Its okay," she whispered softly.

Zack smiled sadly. He reached out and cupped her face, leaning in to kiss her gently. Lily smiled into the kiss.

"So, prom?" Zack asked softly.

Lily nodded nervously. She hadn't actually asked him.

"Pretty sure I'm meant to ask you," he laughed gently.

Lily smiled. "You still can."

Zack closed his eyes as he smiled at her. He reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Lily," he breathed. "Will you let me –"

Lily smiled, savouring the gentleness of the moment.

"-put it in your ass?" he asked with a cheeky grin.

Lily's face fell. Immediately, a begrudged smile took hold and she pushed him off the bed. "Asshole," she muttered.

"That's the dream," he winked from the floor.

She shook her head, her smile still in place as she refused to laugh.

Zack picked himself off from the floor. He put both of his hands on her face as she pouted at him. "Go to prom with me," he said softly as he looked lovingly into her eyes.

Lily shook her head. "No, I don't think I will," she teased.

Zack grinned. "I don't think it was a question," he said, his voice husky.

Lily shivered and her knees went weak. "Okay," she breathed.

"Good," he whispered as he leaned in for a gentle peck. He laid back on the bed, turning his head to look at her. "You coming to dinner on Saturday?"

Lily laid next to him, looking at him. "For your parents anniversary?"

Zack nodded.

"Of course," she smiled.

"What you gonna wear?" he asked with a twinkle in his eye.

Lily shook her head, lightly smacking his chest.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"You know what," she laughed, rolling her eyes.

Zack grinned. "Just excited to see what you wear," he said cheekily.

"Uhuh," Lily said, entirely unconvinced.

They laid silently next to each other for a moment, staring at each other. Lily found herself searching for something in his eyes, longing for something…She couldn't place what it was but she grew sad at its absence.

Lilt's distracted mind provided an opportunity for Zack to pounce. He trapped her underneath him as he attacked her with his long bony fingers, tickling her mercilessly. He was relentless, not easing up even slightly as she wriggled desperately. She took wheezing breaths between painful laughter. "St-top," she choked.

"Make me," he challenged.

Lily withered underneath him. Using all her strength she flipped him off of her and rolled on top, straddling his waist.

Zack grinned at her, pumping his eyebrows suggestively at her. His hands moved to rest gently on her upper thighs.

Lily shook her head at his persistence as Zack leaned up to kiss her. Lily leaned down. Their lips met in a gentle soft press as the two smiled against each other. "I love you," she murmured as she gently placed her forehead against his. Her eyes fluttered closed.

"I love you too," he whispered, kissing her softly again.

Lily leant down, pressing her torso against his as she rested her head on his shoulder. He smiled down at her. Under the warmth of his gaze, Lily looked up giving him the opportunity to kiss her tenderly.

Zack gave a satisfied smile before kissing her again – on her cheek. Then on her nose. Her forehead. Her ears. Her jaw.

Lily giggled under each gentle kiss. "What's with you today?" she laughed.

Zack smiled, "nothing. Just missed you, I guess."

"I like it," Lily confessed.

Zack smiled softly as he gently moved his hands to Lily's back, holding her in place as he savoured their embrace. They laid in a comfortable silence.

Lily shivered lightly in his arms as a chill ran over her.

"Cold?" Zack asked.

Lily nodded into his shoulder.

Zack smiled as he reached out and pulled a blanket over them. He leaned his head gently against hers.

"Do you wanna fuck?" Lily asked looking up at him.

Zack looked down at her and gave a chuckle as he exhaled. He nodded wordlessly at her.

"Did you get condoms?" she asked.

"Yeah," Zack nodded, lazily pulling open a drawer on her bedside table and pulling one out.

Lily smiled as she leaned up into a kiss. She moved a hand up to his neck, kissing him tenderly as he ran a tongue over her bottom lip.

Lily parted her lips slightly and Zack grazed his tongue between them. Slowly, he gently slid his tongue deeper into her mouth, lightly prodding at her tongue before sliding back out. Lily mirrored these movements and the two of them chased one other gently.

Zack exhaled a ragged breath as Lily sucked on his bottom lip.

Lily grazed her teeth over his lip before pulling away, sitting up. Zack leaned up into an almost sitting position, his waist still trapped between Lily's thighs. They leaned into each other for another gentle kiss, both grasping at the hems of the other t-shirts. The t-shirts landed on the ground as Zack laid back on the bed, pulling Lily down with a firm hand on the small of her back.

Lily reached down, pulling the blanket back over them. It had fallen when the two had sat up.

Zack lightly ran his hands over her arms. She had goose bumps. "That cold?" he laughed.

She nodded, laughing as she exhaled.

"Guess I'll have to warm you up," he smiled.

"Guess so," she grinned back, leaning into another kiss.

Zack gently rolled her underneath him. He laid his weight on his forearms which he placed gently either side of her face.

Lily smiled up at him, tilting her face up for another kiss as she ran her fingers lightly over his chest, hoovering over his stomach as she traced circles on it.

Zack shifted his weight completely onto one of his forearms as he trailed his hand down her arm. Lily shivered under his touch. His hand moved down to her side, snaking under his back lifting her up as he pulled back slightly.

His fingers navigated their way to the centre of her back. He kissed her gently as his fingers fumbled with the back of her bra.

Lily giggled into his mouth. "Need help?" she mumbled against his lips.

Zack shook his head, pressing his lips against hers again. "Shut it," he murmured back.

Lily giggled lightly before darting her tongue between his lips. She leaned into him as she reached behind her, unhooking her bra for him.

"I had it," he whispered adamantly before pulling the garment off her.

"Sure, sure," she murmured as she laid back down.

They connected again in a slow, gentle kiss. Their eyes closed as they traced each others bodies with their finger tips.

Zack's fingers hoovered around her breasts, tracing messy circles around them. Lily smiled at the delicious hum she felt when he brushed her nipple.

She felt a strange feeling in chest – it was heavy, almost painful as she longed for more. More of what? she asked herself.

Her question was answered by the small voice in her head; Electric-

Zack's tongue on her nipples shocked her back to reality. His warm mouth encompassed her as he used his tongue to nudge her nipples between his teeth. The grating feeling made Lily gasp, clenching her core at the sensation.

Zack removed his mouth, looking up at Lily with a grin. "Like that?" he teased.

Lily scraped her teeth over her bottom lip as she nodded down at him hungrily.

Zack grinned as he placed kisses on her sternum. Slowly, he moved downwards leaving a trail of kisses behind him.

Lily's body curled upwards with satisfaction.

Zack ran his tongue along the waistband of her jeans. Lily let out another gasp, only encouraging Zack's desire to tease her.

Lily exhaled deeply as Zack nipped at the skin above her hip. "Tease," she breathed in a strangled breath.

"Am I teasing you?" Zack asked slyly.

Lily nodded desperately.

Zack made approving noises as he unbuckled her belt. Lily groaned in suspense, feeling his breath on her stomach. He gently undid her jeans, sliding them down her long legs. He gently ran his hands up her legs, tracing the inside of her thighs. A shuddered gasp escaped Lily's mouth as Zack made his way up to her face.

He hoovered over her, grinning wildly. "You okay, babe?" he asked.

Lily's laboured breaths were merging into heavy exhales with every touch.

Zack leaned forward slightly. Eagerly, Lily leaned up to meet him. Their lips barely brushed before he jerked back, grinning evilly at her.

Lily bit her lip. Hard. Her eyes were lustfully dark. She grabbed his face harshly before kissing him desperately. Her lips moved hungrily against his.

He pulled away from her strong grip. "What, babe?" he asked innocently.

Lily tried to pull him into another kiss, but he resisted. "Nah-u-huh," he teased.

Lily groaned at him.

"Beg," he whispered still hovering over her face.

Lily bit her lip again, her core tightening at his words. "Please," she breathed.

"Sorry, I didn't catch that," Zack teased.

"Please," she repeated.

"Please what?"

Lily blushed, swallowing deeply. "Please touch me," she whispered.

"Where would you like to be touched?" he teased.

"Everywhere," she breathed, bumping her face against his, hazily searching for a kiss.

Zack planted firm kisses on her neck. "Really?" he asked between kisses. He kissed her breastbone, her stomach and then her thigh. "Because I was thinking of one place," he said huskily before running a tongue along the outline of her panties. "What do you think?" he murmured against her thigh.

"Mmm," Lily moaned agreeably.

Zack grinned as he slipped a finger inside the fabric, hoovering a long finger over her entrance. "Did you want me to touch you?" he asked, biting his lip.

Lily nodded frantically.

"I can't hear you, baby," he whispered.

"Yes," she breathed.

"Yes what?"

Lily let out an audible groan, bucking her hips towards him as her core contracted. "Touch me," she growled.

Zack eyes darkened at her command and he silently slipped a finger inside her. "Fuck your wet," he muttered.

Lily sat up. Zack still pumping his finger inside her.

Lily struggled with Zack's belt, her mind hazy with pleasure. Zack grinned, enjoying the effect he was having on her. With his free hand, he helped her unbuckle it. "You okay babe?"

Lily bit her lip, eyeing him hungrily as she let out a small nod.

She tugged at his jeans, pulling them down. Zack removed his finger to pull his jeans off. Lily took this opportunity to whip her panties off, throwing them to the floor.

Zack moved himself back up the bed, kissing her hungrily, before sliding two fingers into Lily's core. Lily ran her hand inside the waistband of Zack's boxers. His cock twitched in anticipation, bumping against Lily's hand.

Lily smiled to herself as she gently pumped his length.

Zack planted another hungry kiss against Lily's lips. "Sixty-nine?" he murmured against her lips.

Lily nodded as they parted lips. She moved her limbs awkwardly as they got into position.

Zack gently lapped, nipped and sucked at her causing Lily's eyes to roll back in pleasure. An involuntary moan slipped from her lips against his hard cock. His hips bucked into her with each moan.

Lily pulled away when she was satisfied he was as wet as she was. She rolled onto her back, looking at him lustfully. He bit his lip as he climbed between her legs, resting on his calves as he grabbed the condom from his bedside table.

Lily leaned up, kissing his collar bone as he rolled the rubber down. His hands moved to her behind, which he lifted her from. He held her still as he aligned himself with her entrance before slowly lowering her down.

They both let out a soft moan as he slid deep inside. She gently rolled her hips as their lips worked passionately against each other. Lily slid her tongue against his, causing something to snap in him.

He moved his hands from her bum to her hips, moving her roughly as he bucked up against her. He bit at her lip. Hard. He could taste blood where he split it.

Lily ran her tongue over the metallic taste before kissing him forcefully. She ran her nails over his back. The light scratching causing him to grunt softly. "Fuck," he mumbled in a strangled breath.

"What?" Lily asked, between desperate kisses.

"'M gonna cum," he grunted. Suddenly his rough movements became slams as he slammed her against him until he came.

He leaned his head against her shoulder, breathing heavily. "Did you cum?" he mumbled against her skin.

"Uhuh," she lied breathlessly. Of course not, she thought bitterly, you barely fucking touched me.

"Good," he mumbled, still breathing deep laboured breaths.

Lily untangled herself from him, moving to find her clothes.

"What's up?" he breathed, still oblivious to her lie.

"I'm cold," Lily said as she pulled her clothes on.

"Still?" he laughed.

Lily nodded.

Zack pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead when she laid down next to him, fully clothed with the blanket over her again. He smiled lazily. "You hungry?"

Lily looked at him, smiling fondly at his concern. "Yeah."

"Okay," he said, jumping up and pulling his clothes on. "Come on," he grinned, standing by the door.

Lily dropped the blanket and moved towards him, holding her hand out for him to take. He didn't take it. She chewed her cheek as disappointment crashed through her.

It was ten o'clock when Lily got home. The lights were off downstairs; her mum had already gone to bed.

Jacob had been pacing his room, his phone in hand for the last hour waiting for the phone call he had been promised. He drew a deep breath before summoning the courage to call her.

Immediately, he regretted his decision moving to hang up when the line connected.

"Not you again," Lily grinned sleepily.

"Hello to you too," Jacob grinned back.

"You okay?" Lily asked.

"Okay, how are you?"

"Good," Lily nodded. An awkward silence fell between the two.

"You forgot," Jacob accused disappointedly.

"Forgot what?" Lily asked, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

Jacob heard her let out a small yawn. "You promised to call," he said softly.

"Oh my god," she groaned. "I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay," Jacob smiled.

"I'm so sorry – I lost track of time, and forgot, I'm so sorry," she said sincerely.

Jacob let out a gentle chuckle. "It's fine," he promised. "I just wanted to check you were okay…I was worried," he admitted.

Butterflies fluttered against her stomach, making her feel uneasy. "You were worried?"

"Of course," he said, scrunching his eyebrows together.

Lily smiled softly to herself. "Bless you…how's your day been?"

Jacob shrugged. "Okay, been working."

"You skipped school, again?" Lily said disapprovingly.

"No."

"No?" Lily repeated suspiciously.

Jacob laughed, "don't you trust me?"

Lily shot her head back in shock. "No-I-it's not that, I just, uh…"

Jacob chuckled as she fumbled for words. "Lils, chill. I was just kidding."

Lily blushed and swallowed the lump in her throat. "Your horrible," she grumbled.

"Sure, sure."

"Sure, sure," she mocked.

Jacob's eyes lit up. "Oh, its like that?" he teased.

"Apparently so," she bantered back.

Jacob shook his head as he silently chuckled to himself. "Love your concern about my education," he teased.

Lily pursed her lips to hold back a smile. "Can't have my best friend becoming a high school drop out now, can we?"

Jacob felt a swell of emotions rise up inside him. "Do-does it bother you?" he asked quietly.

"What?" Lily asked screwing her face up in confusion.

"That I probably won't graduate," his voice was cracking slightly. He was barely audible.

Lily's breath caught in her throat. "You'll graduate," she said reassuringly.

"I probably won't," he said sadly. "It's fine, just how it is."

"Jacob Black," Lily said firmly.

Jacob's heart fluttered at the sound.

"It doesn't matter to me whether or not you graduate, as long as you're happy-"

The words echoed in his head, 'as long as you're happy.' Jacob smiled to himself, savouring the words. That's what he said about her.

"-but, if you need help let me know…I'm probably a good tutor."

"Probably?" Jacob licked his lips before grinning widely.

"You'd be my first test subject," Lily grinned.

"Well, that's…ominous…" Jacob said, chuckling uncomfortably.

Lily grinned, "scared, Black?"

"Oh, you're very terrifying," Jacob said in a serious tone. "All four foot of you," he teased.

A booming laugh escaped Lily. He could hear her slap her hand over her mouth. She looked towards her door, hoping not to have woken her mum.

She tried to supress her smile by biting her lips. "We can't all be eight foot."

"Six seven," he corrected.

"Six seven," Lily mocked. "I'll have you know, I'm perfectly average!"

"You really gonna brag about being average?" Jacob grinned.

Lily hesitated. "Apparently so."

Jacob chuckled lowly. "Well, then I feel I have to tell you, there is absolutely nothing average about you."

Lily blushed furiously. "I don't know about that," she mumbled.

"I do," he said firmly. "You're perfect."

"You're making me blush," Lily admitted quietly.

Jacob smiled smugly to himself. "Really?"

"Yeah," she confessed.

"Good," he said. Lily could hear the smugness in his voice.

The two sat on their beds smiling down the phones under a comfortable silence.

Lily broke it. "Jake?"

"Lils?"

"I have to go," she whispered.

Jacob smiled softly as he glanced at the clock. It was late. "Okay."

Lily chewed the inside of her lip as she smiled. "Good night."

"Lils?"

"Yeah?" she asked.

Jacob's mouth suddenly went dry. "Do you want to grab breakfast tomorrow?"

Lily's stomach squirmed and flipped, performing summersaults whilst she swallowed her nerves. "That would be nice," she whispered.

Happiness flooded through Jacob. "Uh, is six thirty okay?"

Lily nodded. "Sure."

Somehow, Jacob's ear wide grin grew larger threatening to split his face in two. "It's a date."

"Good night Jake," she laughed dismissing his notion.

"Good night, Lils."

Jacob laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling grinning from ear to ear. Unbeknown to him, elsewhere in the reservation, Lily laid on her bed doing the same.
