Hey guys….I'M BACCCKKKK! Lol. I've been wanting to continue for SO LONG! I know exactly how I want this story to go but I haven't had the time or computer time to actually try to update. HOPEFULLY I should be getting a laptop sometime this summer. I don't know if I really will, but I might. So, since I know you guys are just DYING to start reading and don't want to read the ramblings of a boring author, LET THE STORY BEGIN!

Disclaimer: I am not a real author with thousands of adoring fans like Stephanie Meyer. I am a girl from Texas. Do the math.

Kim POV

I woke up and looked around. It was hot, but I had gotten used to that. Ever since me and Jared had started dating, he slept over. So the heat I didn't mind. I wondered where on Earth my mind could've come up with such a scary, painful dream. Well, whatever it was, it was ov-What was I lying on? I struggled for a moment to pull out the thing below me and discovered that it was one of my favorite shirts. A moment later I pulled out one of my only pair of shorts. What the?

Then, it dawned on me. That scary, heart pounding dream was not a dream. It was real. It was real and I was leaving in…I looked at my clock. It was already eleven, so FOUR HOURS! I was leaving the only home and life I'd ever known to live with a woman who'd abandoned me when I was FIVE! What was this world coming to? I would be seventeen in a few months, why disrupt my life even more?

I sighed and turned over to face a sleeping Jared. I looked at him sleeping and lightly traced the outline of his face. I wanted to remember it all for when I had to leave. I spend almost half an hour just watching him sleep when he starts waking up. "Five more minutes, Moooommm."

I chuckled at his sleep talking and when he opened his eyes he smiled and leaned down to kiss me. "Please tell me that was a dream." I knew what he meant, though I bet he had been hoping it was all a dream. A terrible dream. My smile turned sad and I gently shook my head. "No. Unfortunately no." He pulled me tighter into his arms and buried his face into my hair.

"What will I ever do without you? How will I survive?" Tears started falling from my eyes and I looked up to see his just as cloudy. "You will be strong. You hear me?" He started to shake his head but I caught his face between my hands to make him look into my eyes. "Yes. You must. I have to know that you are here, waiting for me to return. Because you know I will. I will be back as soon as I am seventeen. I am so sorry, Jared."

He jerked me closer and said, "It's not you're fault, baby. Of course I will be right here, waiting for you to come home. Come home to me." He kissed me again, harder and said when he pulled back, "And when you do I swear I won't let anything else separate us ever again!" And so we stayed for three hours before I had to leave…...

THREE AND A HALF HOURS LATER

Jared easily carried my big bag full of clothes and important things outside to await the arrival of the evil Officer Davis. Well, I guess that's a bit harsh. It's truly not her fault I'm being forced to leave. I sat on the porch with Jared's arms around me as my friends started pulling up in their cars. They seemed to have met up earlier, as they all arrived within three minutes of each other.

Jezebel came forward with a long package wrapped haphazardly. She handed it to me with a smirk and said, "It's my going away gift. You might need it." I looked at my friend with suspicion. She had the WEIRDEST sense of humor I'd ever seen. I opened it….and it was a wooden baseball bat. I looked at her with confusion. "Read the carving on the other side." She told me.

I flipped it over and looked at the neatly carved words. I read out loud, "This is from me to you to help you beat back all those hot Brits with the Sexy accents." I cracked up laughing, though I could see that Jared didn't find it all that funny. "Oh, come on. You gotta admit that that is FUNNY!" He still didn't laugh. I hugged Jeze and Said with a laugh, "Thank you."

Emily and Sam came up to me and hugged me. Emily handed me a big bag. I looked inside. "COOKIES!" I jumped up and down. "CHOCOLATE CHIP!" Everyone laughed at me and I hugged Emily again. "Thank you SO much." She smiled. "They are for the trip there. I figured you might need some comfort food." We looked at each other knowingly. We both were imprints. She could imagine the pain of being far from Sam.

Embry came up with a big hug and said, "I couldn't find anything to give you, so I want you to have this." He handed me a photo of last night, from before Davis got there. "I had them rush developed at a store this morning." I looked at the photo with tears in my eyes. It was perfect. All of us there. All of us happy and unaware of the terror soon to come. "It's perfect, thank you Embry!"

Paul came up to me with his head down. "My gift is not something you can actually hold. But, it was the best I could do." He handed me an envelope. "Don't open it until you are on the plan. I think it could help just a little." I was confused but promised not to.

Then, we all turned and saw the black car from the night before and knew what was coming. Jared turned me to face him and held out his hand. I looked in it and saw a small necklace. It was part of a heart. "I've been working on this for a while now." He gently lifted it up over my head. Then, he reached around his neck to pull out an almost identical part of a heart, but only the other half of mine. He put the two together to make the full heart. "I wanted to show you that without you, I have only part of a heart, that I'm only part of a man."

Tears started streaming down my face. "Jared, this is the most perfect gift I could've ever received. I will NEVER take it off. You will always be with me, a part of me." I leaned up to kiss him and he prolonged the kiss, as if loathe to part. We heard a woman clear her throat and broke apart to see Officer Davis standing near her car. "Kim, it's time to leave. I am so sorry."

What do you guys think of the gifts? My favorite is Jeze's. Lol, the girl I'm basing Jezebel off of actually suggested that and I couldn't resist. I LUV YOU GIRL! She better be reading. I haven't heard from her in over a week, so she better be! Anyway, LUV U GUYS MY WONDERFUL READERS! I will try to update as much as I can. READ AND REVIEW!
