New Moon – Jacob Black POV
Chapter 1. Fishing
"Hey Jake!" Dad yelled from the porch.
"Coming!" I called. I wiped the grease off my hands and locked up the garage, then ran over. "Yeah Dad?"
"I'm gonna go out fishing today... think you can make it without your old man for a day?"
I laughed. "Sure. Have fun Dad!"
"Sure thing kid. How's that old Rabbit coming?"
"Pretty good. Should have it running in a month or two."
"Sure, sure," Dad grinned. "Just make sure we've got something to drive in soon... my arms are gonna be all worn out!"
I grabbed his wheelchair. "So who're you going with? Charlie?"
"Naw, it's Bella's birthday, and there's a game on... he'll be sticking close to home. Harry will be here to pick me up in a few. You need something to eat, though, Jake."
"I got it." I lifted him down the stairs and grabbed a Hot Pocket and a Coke.
"See ya Jake!" Dad called as Harry pulled up. "And send your sister an Email. She's been waiting for a while."
"'Kay, Dad." I booted up the computer and sat down. One new message.

Hey Jake!
What's up? Not much new on campus, but I'm having a great time anyway... only a few more years, then... who knows? Sorry this is so short, I'm bored out of my head here... what's going on with you guys? Write back Jake, please? I love you, bud.
-Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Not much is new here. Dad's gone out fishing with Harry today... I might have to call up Quil or Embry. I've almost got the Rabbit done... I'll send you pics when I finish. Talk to you soon sis. Love you too.
-Jake.
I logged off and picked up the phone. "Hey Embry? You want to hang out today? Dad's out fishing..."
"Sure man... what do you want to do?"
"Let's go out cliff diving."
"'Kay"
"Meet you there?"
"Sure. See you in a few!" Embry said, and the line disconnected.
