"Thanks for the ride Mr. Taxi Man!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as he drove away. I sighed; it felt good to finally be home.

Oh, but please. Let me introduce myself. I am Jaden Swan, I am 15 years old, and I can't cook for my life. Okay, that cooking thing was kind of random, but I am known as the queen of all time randomness. My older sister Bella gave me that title. She is 17 and came up to La Push to stay with Charlie a year ago. She ended up falling in love with some hot guy named Paul.

My mother sent me up here to find love too, her exact words, "Honey, I think it is best for you to go to La Push and stay with your father and Bella- you never know- you might just settle down like Bella."

I love my mom and Phil to death but it is kind of hard to love them when you are on the road all the time because of Phil's major league baseball career and your mom comparing you to your "sweet, caring, and amazing" sister Bella every other minute.

All I'm saying is just because I talk a lot more than Bella and I am more outgoing than Bella, doesn't mean that I am not sweet and caring. Well, okay it kind of does in my case but at least I am still amazing, right?

Anyways, back to reality. The door is being thrown open and Bella is running up to me but she doesn't think wisely. The pathway leading to the house is covered in ice because it is December. Ohh! That looked like it hurt. She just slipped and did a face plant into the snow.

I couldn't help but laugh, same old Bella. I ran over to her, but slipped on my way there and landed on top of her just as about 10 huge-and I mean HUGE- men step out of her front door to see what was going on.

I couldn't help but crack up even more at the look on her face. She reached out to hit me but I just rolled away in the snow. I kept rolling around until I ran into something, or should I say someone's feet, not knowing who it was I just giggled again, still on my high, and rolled the other way. Then I started to feel nauseous so I stopped rolling only to be pelted with a snowball.

I looked around and one of the guys pointed near the driveway. I looked over only to see my dad and a snowball hit me smack dab in the face.

"Dad!" I yelled and whined at the same time, if that is possible. I got up to run over to him, when my front met the snow again.

I heard laughter from the doorway and realized that I tripped over Bella. Wow. I feel so welcome.

Some guy wearing just a t-shirt and jeans ran over to me while Bella commanded another to get my stuff. Oh, how I love her.

"Hey are you alright? You took a nasty spill there." He said it with a smile glued on his face. This was when I got a good look at him. He looked about 6'7" with a permanent tan. He had warm chocolate brown eyes that made me melt. His intense gaze didn't help my ogling moment. You could see his well defined muscles under his t-shirt and the rosy color on his cheeks from the cold.

"Um… hello? Anyone home?" He said with a smirk obviously knowing why it was taking me so long to answer.

"Oh…um…ya. I um…I am fine." I managed to squeak out. He reached his hand out to pull me up. I was shocked to find his hand so cold, but I thought that it must be because I am freezing.

I just wanted to hug his warmth, so that is exactly what I did. I sighed as I slowly began to defrost.

Now it was his turn to be stunned into silence.

I mumbled to him, "What's your name? Sorry I am really cold and you are really warm."

"I'm Jacob. I live down the street. You must be Jaden?" He replied.

"Yup that's me."

"So do you want to stand here all night hugging me or would you like me to carry you in, princess?" He asked.

"Take me to my castle." I said before jumping up so he could hold me bridal style.
