The weekend went by in a blur and Jake is pretty much healed, he just can't phase for another day to make sure everything is set well. We decided to walk from his place to Sam's for lunch enjoying the decent weather outside, and enjoying each other's company.

As we get closer to my uncle's, well my house too, I see an unfamiliar black car parked outside and wonder who that could be. And as we get closer dread suddenly fills my chest, and whoever is here isn't welcome.

"You shouldn't even be here Kate!" The name my uncle sneers cause my blood and body to freeze on the outside of the door.

"Ads? Adelaide what's wrong?" Jake must sense my terror and anger, no doubt noticing my frozen body.

"It's my...my mother." I mutter, eyes wide tears threatening to pour.

What the hell is she doing here? She said she wasn't going to come back, and I was fine with that. What could she possibly want? I realized I hadn't moved at all until Jake pulls me into his embrace, and I sniffle finally noticing the tears.

"It's gonna be okay Ads. She can't hurt you here."

I realize he's right, and so with a deep breath and a kiss on my forehead we face the red door, Jake opening it with finality. Sam's head snaps in the direction, and I crumble seeing the completely broken look, with anger in his eyes, on my uncles face and know whatever it is, it isn't good.

"Mother." I state with as much venom as possible in my voice. "Why are you here?"

"Ah, Adelaide. Get your things—" She turns, but doesn't fully look at me, her face hard and impassive.

"Kate don't do this." Sam tries to interject, his voice breaking slightly, and I'm now fueled with rage at my mother.

"No." I state, my voice turning deadly as I feel Jake tense beside me.

"Fine." She grits out storming in my direction, grasping my arm painfully and pulling me out of Jake's embrace and out the door. "Get in the car, Adelaide." She releases me with a shove, and I glare at her hotly, not showing her how painful her grip was.

"No. I belong here." I stand firm seeing the two men I love the most filter out of the small house.

"You are my daughter and you belong with me." Her words shock me, seeing as she was the one to leave me in the first place! I open my mouth to object only for her to snarl in my ear.

"Now quickly before I involve Sam and the authorities." She threatens and I clench my jaw,  infuriated.

"You wouldn't.. He's your brother. But if I remember correctly, family doesn't matter much to you—" She grips my arm harshly again, and I hear the growl of my imprint causing my eyes to flash behind my mother to see Sam holding Jake at bay.

"You want to test me child? He made it clear a year ago how he felt about that. Now, Adelaide."

She growls the last bit, her glare matching mine in intensity, and I rip my arm from her grasp looking at the two most important men stuck at the door. My eyes soften, tears threatening to spill as I watch Jake shake his head, but I have to go...I don't want Sam getting in trouble for nothing, because my mother is a psycho...

With one last look and the shattering of my heart, I quickly mouth I love you, and get in the passenger side of the car. I watch as the familiar scenery blurs by, my heart breaking more the farther I travel from my home, and tears finally make their way down my cheek quietly, not wanting to give my mother satisfaction in breaking me.

I must've cried myself to sleep, because I'm jostled awake by the rough stopping of the car, noticing the blackness outside. Looking around I don't see anything familiar, I turn to the drivers side, my glare falling into place as I look at the woman beside me.

"Where are we?" I grit out, not wanting leaving the car.

"Vancouver. Now come Adelaide. See your new home." My anger erupts at her cool tone, not even wanting to be here in the first place. This–hell-hole is not my home.

"Take me back!"

I yell, not caring if I wake the neighbors or not, my anger is simply too much now. She stops dead in her tracks, not yet turning to face me, but at least she's stopped.

"I don't belong here! I don't know why you even bothered coming back for me." I snarl, knowing that'll hit her hard, but I don't care. She has no right to just suddenly decide to want me in her life again.

"Because it's been a year Adelaide and things are different—" She attempts to defend, but I know she cares as much as she did a year ago...

"Things were different for me too! I was happy there, I belonged there! Mum I fell in love—"

"Well love is fleeting—"

She snarls, finally turning to look at me with fire in her eyes, and I can tell she's still hurting from Dad's death. She's become bitter and angry, and I won't let her push those emotions on me. I won't be her punching bag.

"Not this kind. Not what I've found in La Push. I'm going back, Mother. And you can't stop me."

I state with finality, knowing this will make her more angry, but I don't care. I won't stay here and sacrifice my happiness, because she suddenly wants to be mothering. I firmly pull my bag from the car, and begin to walk back to town.

"Where do you think you're going? They won't come for you. It's only a matter of time, before they leave you behind too." I stop shortly, not turning to look at her.

"That's where you're wrong. They aren't you."

With those last words, I begin my walk pulling out my cell to phone Sam to come get me, clutching my chest at the pain that has blossomed there.

~~~

Jake~

The pain in my chest is unimaginable, worse than when Addy was unconscious, or when my entire right side was shattered. She took her. She's gone. Who knows when or if she'll be able to come back.

My anger begins to flare again, eating away at the pain, at the thought of how her mother treated her before they left and whatever threat she spoke to Addy making her leave us. Sam hasn't spoken a word since she's left, and I worry for him. He saw Addy as a daughter, and she was just ripped away from him by his own sister.

Em has tried to console him, but he's retreated to their room, whereas I had to get out of this house. Once the car pulled away, Sam couldn't contain me any longer and I shifted on the fly, attempting to follow the black car until they crossed onto the Cullen's land. Then I was lost, empty.

Just as I'm about to storm out of the house again in anger, I hear quick steps hurrying down the stairs, and see Sam with his phone pressed against his ear.

"Give us a couple hours, we'll be there. Just stay safe." He looks at me as he says this and I know instantly it's Adelaide, quickly meeting him at the stairs as he hangs up.

"What's going on? Is she okay?"

"She was able to get away from Kate, but she needs us to pick her up—"

"Then let's get going." I throw him his keys, not wanting to waste anymore time, and he doesn't argue.

We quickly hurry into Sam's truck and head towards Vancouver, I think is where he said Addy is, hoping we won't run into her mom again. I'm suddenly snapped back to reality when Sam slams a hand on my knee that I hadn't realized was shaking, and I look over at him.

"She's gonna be alright Jake. We'll be there soon, and we'll bring her home." I nod, knowing he's right, but still anxious to be with my imprint again.

The drive goes quickly after that, the scenery blurring together until we begin to slow, coming  into the outskirts of a bigger town. Sam turns sharply down a brightly lit street, following the sign to a chain diner and pulling into its parking lot. Before the truck even stops, I jump from the bench seat quickly spotting my imprint, and jogging to her as my chest fills with familiarity.

"Jake."

She breaths out, meeting me half way and jumping into my arms as I hold on to her tightly. Breathing in her scent the hole in my chest goes away, and I squeeze her tighter just glad to have her back.

"Addy. I am so glad you called." I mutter into her hair, as she buries her face in my neck causing shivers to cascade down my back.

"How did you get away from Kate?" Sam cuts in, and she turns to look at him not moving from my embrace.

"I left the second we got to her house. I wasn't going to stay any longer than I needed to and started walking here." She tightens her hold on me, as Sam begins to think before ushering us to the truck.

"Do you remember how to get there?"

"Sam, I'm not going back. She threatened to involve the authorities if I didn't leave the first time. Why would you wanna chance her doing that again?"

"What's to stop her from coming back and doing this all again?" Sam looks to her and she looks down no doubt agreeing with him.

"Okay, but Sam...she won't listen. She's completely different after my father died.." He shakes his head, but I have a feeling we'll be going there, because he can't lose Addy again.

"I've gotta do something Adelaide. She can't take you away again." I hear her sigh and for the second time in the last two days I've seen the strong-willed Alpha look utterly broken.

"Okay, Sam." She resigns and we cram in the cab, tensely heading back to the place Adelaide just escaped.

"Here."

She mutters, and we stop in front of a small house, the black car from earlier sitting in the drive. Sam steps out of the truck slamming the door behind him, and it's quiet for a couple seconds before Addy quickly follows.

"Kate!" Sam yells as he walks up the drive causing Adelaide to scurry quickly behind him.

"Sam!" She hisses at him as I follow closely behind. "Please, let's just go."

"So you did come for her. That's a surprise." Her mother states coldly from the porch, causing my blood to boil. Why would she think I wouldn't come for her?

"You don't know what I would do for her Kate. It's a hell of a lot more than you would." Sam snarls, containing his shaking only when Adelaide gently grabs his arm.

"Sam let's just go—" Addy cuts in quietly, but I growl as her mom sends her a nasty glare.

"You aren't going anywhere—"

"Yes. She is. And she's coming back with me. I don't want to see you showing up at my house again,Kate. You're no longer welcome there, and Adelaide is old enough to make her own decisions, and where she wants to live." Sam says with finality, and I almost have to fight the Alpha command hidden in his tone.

"I'm going back with Sam, mum. My life is in La Push." Kate glares hotly at the three of us, before a small breach of emotion can be seen.

"Fine. Go back to that soggy little town. Hopefully you won't live to regret it." She bites out, but not as harshly as before, turning and heading back into the house.

Sam and Addy look at each other before wrapping themselves in a tight hug, making me glad she's going to stay, and we won't ever have to worry about her leaving for a long time. We get back into the truck and head back to the Rez, my imprint snuggled into my side and finally, life seems to be perfect.

* Hello lovelies!! Sorry it's been a while, but I wanted this chapter to be good! So I hope you liked it :) We are finally moving into Breaking Dawn and man is Jake and Addy's relationship about to get crazy with all these extra vampires showing up. :)
