The alternative ending is just another possible way the story could have ended but the real ending is the one you guys are reading now.

Part Two

Jacob Pov

I was home. It was nice to be home at last but at the same time it wasn't. It was hard being home again for the simple fact that Ness and I weren't secure anymore, in any way. If she decided not to be in my life at all there wasn't much I could do. I tried my best not to dwell on it though because I hoped it would all work out. When I got home I was surprised to walk in and see the pack and their imprints waiting for me. I smiled and went around talking to everyone, I had to admit I loved being home again. I'd start work again after the weekend and hopefully save enough to get my own place here in La Push. I felt Sam watching me the whole time and I knew that he'd want to talk alone later on but that was something I wanted to avoid. I knew exactly what we'd talk about; my broken imprint. It wasn't something I wanted to discuss yet and I knew the guys could tell since they didn't mention it and seemed weary when we video chatted with Ness and the imprint came up.

Later that night I walked down to the beach so I could have some peace and quiet and I could get my thoughts together. I began to think about what Rose and Emmett had told me and I sighed because I knew they were right.

-Flashback-

"What's going on guys?" I asked, they had asked to talk to me in private.

"We would like to give you some advice," Rose said.

"On what?" I asked, confused. What did I need advice on?

"Ness," Emmett said

"What about her?"

"Don't pressure her, I know you're not but I think you should give her some time to see how she feels."

"I wasn't going to pressure her," I had said.

"What we mean is that if she wants to be with you, she has to fight for you." Rose said.

Emmett nodded,"This whole time you've been fighting the hardest to keep her in your life but there's only one way to know if she's supposed to be in it."

"If, despite the imprint being broken, she fights for you then you'll know," Rose said.

-End Flashback-

I hadn't really thought about things in that way until they mentioned it and it did make sense but what if Ness wanted to fight but couldn't? I headed back home soon after and found Sam waiting for me.

"Hey," I said as I sat next to him on the steps.

"Hey Jake, how's it going?" He asked.

"Decent," I said.

"We need to talk," he said

"I know," I nodded,"About the imprint."

He shook his head,"No. About you and Ness."

"What about Ness and I?" I asked.

"Are you guys...still going to be together?"

I sighed,"Honestly I don't know. I just hope we stay friends."

Sam went on to ask more and I could see that he was worried about his own imprint. I assured him that Ness and I were different, the vampires who broke the imprint were gone.

The next day I went back to work and I felt as if I was going back to the miserable routine without Ness. I worked most of the day and came home, got dinner for Billy and I then relaxed. I didn't get much sleep that that and about six am the next day that there was a knock at our door. I didn't think we were expecting anyone but I got up and went to open the door.

Once I opened the door I saw Ness standing there with a grin on her face.

"Ness? What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised.

"I'm home Jake, I'm finally home," she said.

We both hugged each other tightly.

"Really?" I asked.

She nodded,"I convinced them that you were important to me and I needed to be close by."

I smile widely,"That's great Ness! Come in," I said.

"Sorry to come so early but I couldn't wait anymore," she said.

"I'm glad you came. Where are the rest of the Cullens?"

"Home getting things settled in and alll."

"So what do you want to do?" I asked, unsure.

"I'll make us breakfast!" She said and skipped over to the kitchen.

I followed her in,"You don't have to do that..."

"I know but I want some real breakfast," she said.

"Well excuse mee," I said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes,"Out."

"Whaaat?" I pouted.

"Out Jacob," she said and started to look for stuff.

I slowly walked over to sit at the kitchen table.

"No, no. Go watch tv," she said.

"But come onnn. I'll just sit here," I said.

She looked over at me and raised her eyebrow at me,"Fine."

I smiled and watched as she moved around the kitchen making breakfast. Soon after Billy woke up.

"Ness?" He asked as he came in.

"Billy!" She smiled and walked over to hug him.

It was nice, seeing them together like that.

It was at that moment that I realized how easily Ness fit into my life; it was effortless.
