Strangely I didn't feel as uncomfortable as I thought I would. I met Jack and Petes parents. Both were nice, regular people. Well as regular as you could get.

Jake hadn't said two words to me since we sat down for dinner but the feeling was mutual. Charlotte was the sweetest just like always. I still couldn't get over how much Jake looked like his dad.

"I hope you appreciate how beautiful she is". Jane, Petes mom winked at me. Smiling at her I played around with the food on my plate. I didn't have much of an appetite, was always the same when I was on my period. "She knows I do". Clearing his throat I ignored the hand he placed on my knee.

"So Leah, what are your plans for when you graduate?". Carol asked, Carol was Jacks mom who was also the sweetest. They all were. I did notice though that the men were a little more reserved. If I graduate I felt like saying.

"I haven't really decided yet but Yale could be on the cards". Her smiled dropped, Jake's hand slipped from my knee, the table went quiet. Did I say something wrong?

"Dessert". Charlotte stood from her seat. "Jacob will you help me please?". As his parents disappeared from the table I felt the awkwardness. No one was talking anymore.

"Where's Alanna?". I asked turning my head so I could look at him. She had missed the full dinner.

"She's running late". Leaning closer to me he whispered. "When were you going to tell me about Yale?".

Was Yale an issue?

"I haven't decided yet and when I do I'll tell you". I could feel their eyes on me. Was university not something they did?

"Oh honey". Jane laughed. "Once you're mated it'll be hard being that far from Jake". For some reason I already knew that. I already struggled sometimes and we weren't mated yet.

But I couldn't stay here and do nothing. Did he expect me to stay here and do nothing?

"Like I said". I smiled. "I haven't decided yet". Because it was my decision not Jake's.

"I'm going to use the bathroom". Getting up from my seat I left the dining room and made my way upstairs. Reaching the bathroom I locked the door behind me.
