MISTAKE?

Jake confesses…Nessie responds from her heart… someone new visits town… And Nessie realizes nothing should be taken for granted. Full of twists, turns… and maybe a couple clichés. I haven't decided whose end game yet … pairs depend on how the story progresses. Even if you're a JXN fan give the story a try.

CHAPTER 1: ADMISSION

Jacobs POV

I had waited for a long time … seven years to be precise but my patience had slowly eroded. My self-control had never been great and I had been working on it but after a point no one can hold in such strong emotions. It had been a year since my feelings towards Nessie had started changing. I was pretty sure that was a change brought about by her feelings for me changing. I still remember the euphoria I felt when I realized Nessie saw me in a romantic sense and no longer just as a brother or a best friend, even though she still hadn't admitted that, but there was no other way I could interpret my sudden change of feelings. I had decided that today, the night after her seventh birthday, I would confess my love to her.

I looked at the silvery bronze chain lying in the red box and hoped it was an adequate gift. The chain had three charms on, a full moon, a howling werewolf and a lochness monster. I grinned at the cheesiness of the whole thing and wondered if Nessie would like it. If only Alice could see werewolf's! She had been very helpful to the Cullen's, by dropping subtle hints as to if their gifts would be appreciated by the seven-year-old teenager.

I gripped the box in my hand and left for the beach not wanting to be late after summoning Nessie there myself. I wondered how Edward had allowed her to

actually come to meet me at 10:00 in the night, alone, on a secluded beach. Maybe Bella had played a role in coaxing him, as we had recently rekindled our old friendship over crappy movies, popcorn, animal blood and Nessie.

Once I reached the beach I realized I was 10 minutes early. A sudden fear gripped my heart, what if Nessie wasn't ready yet… Or even worse what if Nessie rejected me! Fear of rejection now made me rethink my plans; I could pretend that I'd just called her out to give her her birthday gift and abandon this ridiculous idea. But somewhere in my head I was confident that she felt the same way cause if she didn't my feeling wouldn't have changed. After all I was meant to be everything and anything she needed.

Seth hadn't imprinted yet and hid his disdain through snarky comments about the whole process, at this moment one such comment replayed in my mind. It had been around 6 months after my feelings had changed; I had gone for run after a disappointing dinner with the Cullen's. I had promised Edward and Bella that I wouldn't make a move on Nessie till she had initiated one on me, however I was getting frustrated as she hadn't made one yet. The pack shared a mind and Seth loved looking into mine, my frustration and internal conflict served as a source of amusement to him. He never ceased to comment on how I had let 3 particular vampires take control over my actions and that night was no different. I remembered I was upset, as Nessie had made no hints of desiring a romantic relationship, even though I had used every opportunity to steer the conversation in the direction, and Seth had said to me

Bro she's the gravity holding you to this planet but always remember you're not the one holding her. She has choices and you should accept that she might not always choose you.

That was one of the very few things Seth has ever said seriously. He was my best friend and I knew he had said it in hopes of preventing me future pain. In my head I understood his words but my heart had always refused to accept the possibility of Nessie and me not being together.

Now for the first time ever since the Bella phase had gotten over, my heart feared rejection. I had never felt so conflicted before. Half of me thought today would lead me to eternal happiness while the other half thought it would breed eternal misery. I hadn't solved my internal confusion when I felt I cold-ish hand on my shoulder and an all to familiar sweet voice melodically chimed

" Hey Jake "

Nessie's POV

I wondered how my dad had actually allowed me to go meet Jake alone at night; maybe it was because of the talk we had had 3 nights ago.

It was the night before my seventeenth (seventh) birthday. I was looking through my cupboard trying to find the hottest, most fashionable and perfect dress for my special night. Aunty Alice had as usual gone overboard and planned a grand party, for which I wanted to look ravishing. I had just put in the red strapless I had bought a few days ago, when dad walked in

"NESSIE! You are not wearing that outside this room" He said with a disapproving look.

"Dad! Please this is the perfect dress," I said in my most innocently cute voice

He sighed in defeat and then gave me a stern look " Renesmee Carlie Cullen, tomorrow is your seventh birthday" He emphasized the word seven

Oh no he was going to give me the sex talk and I didn't want it, atleast not from my dad.

"Fine I'll skip the sex part and get straight to the point" He said reading my mind; I really didn't like the fact that my dad was always in my mind. I was a teenage girl and my thoughts weren't immune from hormones.

He sighed heavily, disappointed at my thoughts "Anyways, the point is Jacob Black."

Jake, as in my best friend Jake. Why was my dad suddenly talking about him? I mean I know they weren't best friends and my dad had always been a bit weary of our interactions but he had never had a conversation with me about Jake. I wondered where this conversation was heading…

" I know you and Jake have always been… Close…" my dads voice a bit strained, his discomfort about the topic was evident. I nodded in agreement.

" Well now you might want to progress"

That was when I decided to stop my dad from saying anything further. Ewwww, Jake was my best friend. I had never thought of 'progressing' with him. The thought didn't repulse me, but just shocked me. I was extremely happy with the current state of my and Jakes relationship. Of course I loved Jake, and he did have a hot body, and I didn't want to share him but that wasn't a romantic attachment. We had grown up together and he had obviously become a part of me, but the thought of kissing Jake was weird.

I saw my dad look a little relieved. " Well if that is how you feel this conversation is irrelevant. Sleep well princess." He said turning around to leave my room.

The party had gone well and all my gifts were fabulous. Jake however hadn't given me one yet; he had told me to meet him today and had said he had something to tell me. I was curious about what he was going to say but more excited to see my gift. Jake always gave the best gifts; I still wore the brass bracelet he'd given me last year.

"Whenever you feel lonely just look at it and think of me grinning at your side" is what he'd said when he gave it to me.

Jake was a sweetheart and the perfect guy, as I approached the beach I could see the outline of his perfect body. Any girl would be lucky to date him. I suddenly remembered my dad's perception, but I couldn't imagine dating Jake. I mean he had everything I wanted except that sense of adventure, that thrill. Being with Jake was comfortable and I liked it but now as a teenager I craved an electrifying relationship.

I approached him cautiously wondering why he hadn't already turned around and given me his usual bear hug greeting. I gently placed my hand on his shoulder and casually greeted him

"Jake"
