Okay, I've had this fanfiction for quite a while and I put it on another website but then I decided to put it on here. I've had the idea for a long time and plan to try and finish it. Please bear with.

I don't own any of Stephanie's characters, if I did, I wouldn't still be living with my parents.

Enjoy.

One

I knew that I had to go out that day, and that really depressed me. As usual, it was raining, and I would've rather stayed inside and gone on my laptop. Tumblr, YouTube, the casual things I would rather do than go out. The rain pounded on the roof of our house, it interrupted my re-blogging session. I tried to tell my mum I was doing homework, but she still wanted for me to go out with her. It's not like she actually came to my computer to check exactly what I was doing, but still, it shows how much she didn't actually care about my education.

She knocked on my door for the fifth time. "Charlotte, please get up. I need help today"

I stared at her and groaned. She smiled and shut my door. I rolled off my bed and threw on some shoes; my favourite converses to be exact. I then grabbed a jumper out of my wardrobe and put it on whilst walking downstairs.

I sat at on the last step, waiting for my mum to get ready. She come out of the kitchen and stopped by me.

"Shall we go and see dad after?" she asked. For a rainy day, she was too positive.

"Are you joking? We should come straight home, since it's a Saturday and I want to waste away the weekend" I replied sarcastically.

She gave me a look and carried on getting her stuff ready. I grabbed my iPod from the dining room table, put in the earphones and make myself unsociable. I preferred it that way.

We walked out of the house, well, ran since it was still raining, and drove off to the big food store out of Forks.

We eventually got there after waiting a while for traffic to clear because of the weather. I took my iPod into the store, to be even more anti-social. My mum didn't care, I think she was just worrying about her hair and how wet she would get.

I calculated how long we took by knowing how many songs I had listened to. About two hours, since my mum spent almost ten minutes decided on what washing up liquid she wanted. Time wasted on her behalf, but I listened to more music.

We finally paid and pushed the food to the car; put it in quickly since it was still raining like mad. We both got soaked, as did the food but we were keen to get inside as soon as possible.

We did end up going to see my dad at the police station. We pulled into the half-empty car park and made our in. I still had my iPod in; I didn't plan on talking to anyone in there.

We opened the front door as was greeted by Officer Thomas, who I remember from a party a few months ago.

"Hello Karen, Charlotte" Officer Thomas greeted. My mum said hi back and I gave a small smile. I knew he saw it but my mum still had a go at me.

"Charlotte, stop being so grumpy and be polite" I just raised my eyebrows at her.

We started to walk towards my dad's desk. I was expecting to see just him at work but he was surprisingly accompanied by a man in a wheelchair, and another very tall man. I couldn't see their faces, but they both had long hair. I knew they weren't female though; they both had manly features which wouldn't look right on a woman. The one standing was very tall, at least over six foot I guessed. I'm 5'3-5'4 myself, and I know tall people when I saw them. He was wearing a dark blue checked shirt, and had the sleeves rolled up to show his tanned skin.

"Hello Andrew" Karen said to my dad. She turned and smiled at the two other men. I took my earphones out; I wanted to hear the tall guy's voice.

"Hello Billy" she went to kiss the cheek of the man in the wheelchair. "Hi Jacob"

Jacob was the man's name. Though he didn't actually look like a man; my best guess was that he was around nineteen. His skin was a lovely colour. Lucky, since most people who don't live on the reservation, I guessed he came from there, have really pasty skin, like I did. He was very bulky, very bulky. He had smooth dark brown eyes, they were really handsome. And when he smiled, his teeth gleamed with a white sparkle.

"Hello Karen, and Beth, I haven't seen you since you were about eleven" Billy smiled. He had the same smile as Jacob, but not the same gleam that came with it.

I just smiled as a response. I honestly couldn't remember Billy, but when I thought about it, I could remember a kid that looked a little like Jacob, but I remembered a smaller person. He obviously changed a lot since then.

"You can't remember" he smiled.

I smiled awkwardly and shook my head. "Um, no sorry. This is kind of awkward now"

He laughed, as well as my dad, my mum and Jacob. I looked up at him and he smiled at me. I had to hide the blush.

My parents and Billy went over to the coffee machine and talked whilst making themselves cups. They left me and Jacob alone.

To begin with, we both smiled awkwardly at each other. Thank God he spoke first or I wouldn't have said anything.

"So, do you remember me?" he asked, looking hopeful.

"Um, yeah, a little. We used to play together, right?" I wanted so badly to remember a time with Jacob but I just kept drawing a blank.

"Yeah, I remember we went to the beach one time and we made sandcastles together" he smiled. His smile was so dazzling; I couldn't help but smile myself.

It then suddenly clicked. "Oh yeah. That was probably the hottest day on record in Forks" I laughed and genuinely smiled at the memory, he joined me. His laugh was hearty, deep and rich. It was beautiful.

"So, you don't go to Forks High…" I asked. I wanted him to now, I didn't know when I'd see him again.

"No, I go to school on the reservation" he half smiled. Well, shame.

There was a silence for a moment and I felt the awkwardness between us. I just wanted my parents to come back, but, I did like being around Jacob, awkward or not. He had a friendly aura about him, and also he was a lovely sight to look at.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but what's your last name?" I asked, and I could feel myself going red.

"It's Black, and, what's yours?" he asked, and he smiled. Jesus, that smile could kill a man. Or me.

"Riley" I smiled. He was so charming.

At that moment of my social high, my parents and Billy came back over.

"So are you coming over tonight, Charlotte?" Billy asked me.

I just looked at my parents, not knowing what to say.

"Didn't Jacob ask you? We're having a little dinner get together tonight with a few friends. You're welcome if you want to come" Billy explained.

I gave it some thought. "Well, you know, I have quite a busy schedule and will have to check with my P.A" I started, sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, the internet is your diary" my mum sighed.

"Oh, thanks mum" I smiled. I could see Jacob smiling out of the corner of my eye. "And yes, I shall make an appearance"

"Well alright then. Come on, Jake, we better be off" Billy said, and Jacob took hold of Billy's wheelchair handle and steered him out of the station.

"Charlotte, we're going" my mum beckoned and we followed them out of the station.

I stayed under the shelter whilst my mum got the car and Jacob pushed Billy down the ramp. I waited a while, and waved at Jacob and Billy as they drove past, then my mum pulled up.

As soon as we got home, I jumped out. I had to wait for my mum to open the door since she had the keys, but once open I rushed upstairs and into my room.

I grabbed my towel and walked toward the bathroom.

"Aren't you going to help me?" she shouted from downstairs.

I walked back to the staircase. "I need to shower. We're going soon"

I walked back to the bathroom and stripped. I waited till the water was warm enough and doused myself in it. I washed my hair and shaved my legs. I made sure that I smelt nice. I spent at least half an hour in the shower, but it was worth it.

I wrapped my towel around me and went back to my bedroom. I flicked on my iPod and started to get ready. I towel dried my hair and then curled a few bits. I then open my wardrobe. I had no clue on what I was going to wear.

It took me a while but I eventually decided on a pair of new jeans, a solid mid-blue colour, a grey tank top, a rich red jacket and a pair of wear and tear vans.

I realize that a few hours have passed, I really don't know how; I didn't think I had spent much time choosing my outfit. I heard a knock at my door and I went over to open it. It wasn't a surprise that it was my mum at the door, she certainly did love knocking on my door.

"You look nice Charlotte, not trying to impress anyone are we?" she smiled, sarcastically.

I gave her a look, just like the way she gave me one that morning and we all walked downstairs.

We all got into the car and drove off. The rain had stopped finally but it was still wet and slippery outside, so dad took his time when it came to driving down to the reservation. So whilst he was taking his time, I decided to evaluate in my head; Jacob was around my age, about 6'3, and I loved height in a guy and he had the nicest personality, is this fate or what?! Nah, dreams like that never come true, he was probably being friendly. But I wished he found me a little bit attractive. I knew I didn't have a lot to offer, boring brown hair, plain blue eyes and a regular figure, but as vain as I wasn't, I knew that I had a decent personality.

We finally pulled into the long and busy driveway owned by the Blacks and I could see a few people standing on his porch. There were quite a few actually. How many people were actually coming? I kept looking and I eventually found Jacob coming out of his small, red house, and then coming over to the car.

I open the car door and he's waiting and smiling for me. "Hey Charlotte"

"Hi" I smiled back. I shut the door behind me and walked towards him. "Jacob, I know this sounds weird, but can you not leave me tonight because I don't know anyone apart from my parents but I don't want to hang out with them"

He laughed back, but not mockingly "Don't worry, I won't". He walked me to his quaint house. I had to admit, from afar there were a lot of people, but close up, those people were tall. And I said tall, I meant really tall. I counted a few less than a dozen people and I felt nervous. Maybe Jacob had felt it since he put his hand gently on my back. Everyone looked at us as we walked through the house to go sit outside on his porch. I sighed when we got outside, happy that the worst part was over.

"So what are we having for dinner?" I asked. I hoped I didn't sound like a pig.

"Ragu with pasta" he replied. He then sat down on one of the deck chairs. He patted the seat next to him. I sat down on his command and put my legs up. He spread his out, and I noticed how long they actually were.

"Uh, Jacob, how tall are you?" I asked. It was bugging me too much for me not to ask.

"Well, I would say around 6'5" he smiled. I just raised my eyebrows in shock.

"That's freaking tall" I laughed, he laughed too.

"Well how tall are you?" he asked through a smile.

"Well, I would have to say, around 5'3" I replied, no wonder why I ended up with neck ache, I was tiny against Jacob.

"That's freaking small" he copied. He was so cute, really he was.

"Guys, dinners ready" someone called from by the door. We both got up and walked inside. There were five people sat on the sofa's eating and three people on the floor. They took up all of the room. I went over with Jacob to grab a plate.

"Do you want to back outside to and eat?" Jacob asked me. I nodded in reply. As we were walking out a boy who looked a bit younger than me followed us. He was tall like Jacob but not as tall as him and he was less bulky.

"Charlotte, this is Seth" Jacob introduced. I said hello to him and so did he. He seemed nice enough, he had almost the exact same smile as Jacob, and when he did smile, dimples rose from his cheeks which made him look extra cute. When we got outside, Jacob and I sat back in our original seats and Seth grabbed and sat in his own.

Seth and Jacob chattered lightly to each other while I eat silently and listened. They stopped for a bit, they were eating quite heartily, so I asked "Why are all of you guys so tall?"

"Good genes" Jacob replied and smiled. Seth smiled as well.

"What, are all of you related?" I asked. Why was it so funny?

"It's … uh nothing" he said. He looked up at Seth and then looked down at his plate. I obviously wasn't welcome with the answer.

We had all finished our dinners and Seth kindly offered to take the plates in for us. He didn't come back after that so Jacob moved his chair to face me more, and he also moved it closer. I felt it start to get very cold, but I didn't want to go inside since there were loads of strangers in there and I only knew Jacob. I started shivering and I wished that I had put another layer on. I zipped up my jacket but it wasn't enough.

"Would you like my jacket?" Jacob offered. He had already started to unzip his jacket.

"Wouldn't you be cold?" I asked. Bless him for offering but I didn't want to be responsible for getting him ill.

"Nah, I'll be fine" He stood up and took it off. He was only wearing a t-shirt underneath but I guessed he wasn't feeling the cold. He held it out for me and I stood up and put my arms through the sleeves.

I turned round to zip it up but he did it for me, having to bend down to grip his jacket from the bottom since I was smaller than him and it reached half way down my knees.

When he finished zipping, he looked at me. "Warm enough?"

"Yes" I nodded. We both sat back down and I noticed that Jacob inched his chair closer again. Maybe he was cold.

"So" Jacob started. I turned to him and discovered that he was closer than I thought. He was leaning on his left arm, his head in his hand and was looking at me.

"So" I copied. Again, the awkwardness was back. I had to think quickly. "Who are all those people inside?"

"Paul, Emily, Sam, Seth, Jared, Embry, Quil, Leah, Harry and Sue. Harry and Sue are married and Seth and Leah are their parents. Sam and Emily are together, Jared has Kim, Quil has Claire. The rest are lonely" he smiled and chuckled.

I giggled a little too. There must have been something in that pasta that made me extra confident since I asked the question "Are you lonely?"

He looked at me and smiled "Uh, yes"

I smiled back at him. "Do you fancy and arm wrestle?"

He laughed at my question. "I don't know if you've got it in you, I'm pretty strong but come on then. Another victory to add to my ever expanding list"

"Excuse me, but I'll have you know it that I'm have a fabulous pair of guns" I laughed. He laughed too and we rested our elbows on the chair arms. We actually had to pull our chairs slightly apart since Jacob's arm was longer than mine and I couldn't properly grab his hand.

Once we had sorted out the distance, he jokingly roughly grabbed my hand, an evil smirk on his lips. I gave him a serious face, but he saw the sarcasm.

My hand was almost engulfed in his, but it had a lovely texture. Rough due to strenuous work, but there was a softness about it that I didn't expect. It were gentle, I wondered if Jacob was going to let me win or not, it didn't feel like he had much of a grip on me.

"Okay, ready, set GO" he shouted.

I gripped hard. Extremely hard. I hardly doubt that he even tried. By the time he had almost pinned my side down, I felt him loosen a little, and I wasn't going to be modest. I felt my face scrunched due to the pressure I was enforcing. But I did it, and he was a gentleman about it.

"And that's how you do it" I sarcastically cheered. He was smiling at my victory and went back to resting on his arm. I rested back into my seat and looked at him.

"Well done" he congratulated. I didn't say anything in reply, I just looked at him.

His eyes were so captivating, it was unreal. It was hard to see them in the dim light the outside porch light gave off, and it looked like his eyes were black.

Before I knew how long I had been staring at him, he was leaning closer to me. His arm had reached down and he was now holding onto my shoulder. His face got closer to mine and I couldn't move away from him. I didn't want to move away from him.

I let him get close, and we were then kissing. His lips were tender and he was soft with the movement of his lips. After what I counted was only four seconds he pulled back, but he stayed close.

The loud bang from inside his house ruined it. It snapped me back into reality. I had just kissed a guy I hardly knew. I got really awkward, and not a good awkward. I knew that Jacob started to regret what he had just did.

"Uh, I…" I started, but didn't finish. I stood up, ready to go walk back inside but Jacob got up before me. He towered over me and I started to not like his height.

"Charlotte, I'm sorry if I pushed you" he frowned. My neck started to feel pain again.

"No, it's ok. I think my parents are calling me. You mind?"

Jacob gestured to the door. "Sure, you go."

I smiled meekly and went to walk, but I tripped on the leg of the chair Seth sat on. Jacob's arm flew out to catch me. I looked from his arm to his face. He let go and took a step back.

"Sorry." He murmured. "My reflexes are faster than my thought."

I rubbed at my arm, bruises already forming. The look on Jacob's face was awful; I knew he was sorry for what he did. "Chill Jacob, it's fine. I have to go. Nice hanging out with you, yeah?" I waited for a response. An attempt at a smile became a pained grimace. I instinctively felt drawn to helping him, but stopped myself. We'd only really just met, and things had already gone far enough tonight. Plus my parents were probably getting rowdy. Dodging the chair I made it back inside.

"Alright sweetie?" my mum cooed, placing a hand on my back. "Say thanks to Billy, we're going now."

"Thanks for having me" I mustered a smile. Completely deflated I turned to the living room and uttered 'bye' with a wave of my hand. I got a chorus of 'byes' and 'nice to see you' back.

As I headed out I turned and saw Jacob staring, illuminated, by the front door. He looked at me with the same strained expression. A sudden burst of anger pulsated through me and I slammed the car door shut, shaking it from side to side.

The kiss I'd found so overwhelming, had excelled all of my expectations on what a first kiss would be like. The softness yet enthusiastic behavior of Jacob seemed to send my body into waves of desire. And yet he goes ruin it by making a simple act of helping catch my fall, into an evil deed on his behalf.
