"So," Paul started as he drove Harley home in her car. "We're having a bonfire at Jacobs in a few days, Billy tells old tribe legends, and Jacob is bringing Bella along, you should come with me."
Harley looked at her boyfriend confused. "I thought outsiders weren't allowed, besides, I already know that all the legends are going to be about vampires babe, I just— I don't think its a good idea." Paul took Harley's hand in his own and gave her a small smile. "Please?" He asked giving her the best puppy dog eyes ever. "For me?"
Harley sighed as he pulled into her driveway and got out of the car with her. "Fine, I'll go if you talk to my dad about it." Paul stared at his girlfriend, eyes wide. "Are you trying to get me killed?" He asked.
Harley rolled her eyes and walked Paul to the forest line. "No, my dad would never hurt you because you mean too much to me." She said with a smile. "Ask him tomorrow and we'll see, okay?" Paul sighed but nodded.
He put his hand on her cheek, rubbing his thumb back and forth over her silky smooth skin. "Do you know how hard it is to walk away from you?" He breathed, his heart skipping a beat when they locked eyes. Harley smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I know babe, but I'll see you as soon as I can, text me when your patrol is over." Paul nodded and closed the space between them, pressing his lips to hers.
"I'll see you later princess."

Harley laid on her bed her laptop sitting on her legs as she wrote out college applications. She wouldn't be going until next year but she wanted to be ready, she wanted to have time to prefect them.
Jasper knocked on his daughters bedroom door before peeking his head in. "Hey." She smiled, Jasper smiled back and walked into her room, sitting beside her on the bed. "College applications." He stated, Harley nodded. "I'm just getting ready for next year." She told him.
"So Paul called me." Jasper said, his tome uncomfortable, Harley bursted out laughing. "I can't believe he actually did it." She said. Jasper smiled slightly and shook his head. "Yes, you can go." Harley smiled and hugged her dad. "Thank you dad." She breathed. Jasper smiled to himself and hugged her tightly.
"You're welcome." He said, holding onto every moment he had with his daughter. "Hey dad?" Jasper looked down to her. "Yeah?" He asked. "You guys — when I die will you forget about me?" If Jaspers heart was beating he knew it would have broken.
"No Harley, we will never forget about you. You are Carlisle and Esme's first granddaughter, your the first niece and you're my one and only daughter." Harley sighed and let tears fall down her face. "I'm so thankful you're my dad." She cried. Alice walked into the room, her happy expression falling when she entered the room.
"Whats wrong?" She asked sitting on the other side of Harley and wrapped her arms around the girl. Harley wrapped herself in her moms arms and sobbed. "Please, please never forget about me." Harley begged. "Oh sweetie, never." She whispered running her fingers though Harley's long hair.
Jasper wrapped his arms around Alice and Harley, resting his head on Harley's. "I love you guys so much." Harley said through her tears.
"We love you too."

Harley played with the sleeves of her sweater nervously. "Why are you nervous babe? The pack loves you." Harley shook her head, "It's not the pack I'm worried about its your elders, you know, the wisest people in your tribe." Paul sighed, leaning down to kiss her forehead.
"They're going to love you." He said with a large smile. The two walked closer to the fire pit that was off to the edge of the Black property. "Harley!" Embry yelled, himself, Seth, Jared and Quil all stood up and ran to Harley.
They all ran so fast they all knocked her to the ground, "You guys are such dogs." She laughed laying on the ground. All the boys laughed along with her and Paul helped her up, again, the boys wrapped her in a large group hug before turning and running back to the fire-pit.
Paul wrapped his arm around Harley a laugh leaving his lips as he guided her to the logs. "Hey Harley." Emily said with a smile, accepting her in a hug. "Hey Em, Sam." She said giving the alpha a quick hug.
"Now this is the famous Harley Cullen we keep hearing about." Billy Black said with a smile. Harley smiled back and walked up shaking his hand. "You can just call me Harley if it makes you comfortable." She said with a shrug. The next person to tale her hand, shaking it softly. "You're so warm." She said with a smile.
"The perks of being an elemental I assume." Old Quil said with a smile. "Yeah how did you know?" She asked in disbelief.
"My dear," he chuckled. "They don't call me old Quil for nothing."
