I wiggled excitedly in the passenger seat of the dingy truck. Even the dirty, uncomfortable seat could not dampen my mood. I swiveled my muscled frame towards the driver.
"I missed you so much Quil, you have gotten so big!" I exclaimed happily practically bouncing in my seat.
Quil laughed before mock glaring at me "Why do you always baby me Cassie?" He complained childishly.
"'Cause you are my baby cousin." My infamous baby voice came out as I made kissy faces at the 17 year old.
"Don't make me stop this car." He growled playfully as he began to slow down the truck.
Flipping my long black hair "You know I am to good of a person to fight." I giggled at him and lightly pinched his cheek.
Swatting my dark tanned hand away from him he glared at me once more. "Oh, little Cassie is still a pacifist I see. Don't worry that won't stop me from getting you." He barked out with evil laughter.
Throwing my hand to my chest I exclaimed "This cruel and unjust treatment to your favorite cousin! I am so offended." I fake sobbed into my hands before peaking at my little cousin between my fingers, giggles escaping in between my fake cries.
Quil rolled his dark eyes at me "Shut the fuck up Cassandra."
I laughed obnoxiously "You better get used to me Mr. Quil, I am planning on staying in La Push forever." I grinned at him once more I settled into my seat.
I was moving to La Push this year to help take over the town records at the library for the reservation. It was an amazing opportunity for me to get back in touch with my hometown. I missed living on the peaceful reservation. I used to live there back when I was in middle school, and I silently prayed that no one would remember the obnoxious wannabe scene girl I used to be. It has been a long time since gotten rid of the all black clothing and red streaks through my shiny black hair. I opted now for bright pinks and pastel blue clothing and dresses. I enjoyed the girlier parts of life like makeup and clothing. Not to say that I still don't have a boyish side. My hobbies included video games, watching anime, and lifting weights. Speaking of lifting weights I turned back to Quil.
"Where do you work out Mr. Muscles, I need to get a membership there." smiling brightly at him. His eyes flicked towards me and I saw he looked nervous for a second.
"Well I work out with my friend Sam…" He trailed off, his eyes stayed locked on the road.
"Oh, okay well I will just find a gym in Forks yeah?" I tried to be extra obnoxious to drive off the awkwardness.
It was quiet for a moment before I saw the 'Welcome to La Push' sign. "Finally I am home!" I squealed happily. Quill laughed at me squirming in my seat.
"Are you sure you are 19? You still act like you are 10." Quil teased me.
Grinning, I stuck my tongue out at the buff 17 year old. "Don't make me tickle you, nerd!"
We rode in a comfortable silence the whole way back to his house. Quills mom was kind enough to take me in until I could get myself a house on the Reservation. The house was a bright white, and colorful flowers grew around the windowsills. It almost looked like a fairy tale house you would find in the woods.
I sighed dreamily before excitedly jumping out of the car and taking off in a dead sprint for the house.
"Aunt Lilah!" I pounded on the door practically shaking in excitement. As soon as the door opened I lunged into the older womens arms. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed the top of my head. "Oh my precious girl is home, look how grown up you are."
I stared up at my aunt as tears began to flood my eyes. Yeah, call me a sap but I am a sucker for reunions. My aunt laughed at my tears before wiping them off of my cheeks. "Don't cry sweetie or you will make me cry."
I laughed through the tears and pulled myself together. "I missed you guys so much, especially after mom." I kissed my aunts cheek before turning towards Quill who was standing there awkwardly the whole time.
"Alright sir, you should help me with my bags!" I exclaimed before moving towards the truck.
"Actually you don't have to do a thing Cassie, I am having some friends over to welcome you and they can help me move your shit." Quill ruffled my hair before his mom slapped him on the back of the head.
"What did I say about cursing!" Lilah scolded him lightly "You are going to be a bad influence on Cassie."
"I am older than him, and I curse like a sailor!" My eyebrows furrowed in mock anger and I threw my hands around wildly.
"Oh dear, you are so short I forgot my Quil was younger then you." Lilah laughed loudly before moving towards the house.
"I am not that short!" I huffed as Quil patted my head like I was a fucking dog. I growled at him and tried to bite his hand. He just laughed in my face before turning away from me. "Sounds like the guys are almost here." Quil waved down the road at a beat up truck coming up the road.
I waved at his friends too even though I didn't know them. I guess my socially awkward self was kicking in. The truck pulled up next to the house, and out jumped tanned Native American giants.
"Holy fuck Quill I didn't know you hung out with mountains." I whispered to him. A very unmanly giggle escaped him before he turned to the guys.
I immediately recognized 2 of the boys. "Holy shit, is that Embry and Jacob!" I walked up to the humongous boys and tried to wrap my arms around them. "Damn you boys grew up fine." I wolf whistled at them as they hugged me back.
"Still as short as ever Cassie." Embry smiled at me, mischief shining in his eyes. I glared at him and moved out of his arms.
"Still as rude as ever Embry." I growled playfully before grinning again. "And who are these fine boys?" I turned to Quil.
"This is Seth," he pointed to the shortest member of the crew, but that didn't make him any less muscular. "And this is Paul." He pointed to the last man. I looked at him and I must say he was extremely attractive. His muscles were asking for me to touch them and holy fuck his face almost had me fainting like I was in an old movie in the 50s. He was staring at me very hard so I playfully gave him a wink.
"Hey handsome." I giggled lightly before turning back to Embry.
"Dammit Paul you fucker." I heard Quil whisper harshly to him.
