"Tala..." I felt someone shaking your shoulders, "come on Tala, wake up" it was Mom, we must be in Washington. I stood up and wiped the sleep out of my eyes. It was me, my mom, and Jackson. My dad had died a month ago. As I stepped of the plane I saw one face I knew, Billy Black. He was an old family friend, and we often spent summers here. That had been ages ago.
"Ahh. Tala, your getting so big. You kids make me feel so old" Billy said as he pulled me into a bear hug.
I giggled, "Well I'm sure Jacob isn't so little himself anymore." That's when I realized that Jacob was missing, was he not excited about seeing me again? "Billy, where's Jacob and the rest of the crew?"
"He's at home, not feeling well lately, girl trouble..." Billy didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore. "Well come on gang, we better get down to La Push before dark, so i hear your new house is next to ours. Am i right?
Mom nodded, "Yes, Billy." And with that we were off.

"JAKE! Come see everyone!" Billy said as you walked into the Black's home. This is where we would be staying until the new house was finished.
I heard someone jumping down the stairs, "Coming, Dad."
"Hey, Ja-" that's when it hit me, hard, Dad had told you about imprinting before he died but never had I felt it. As soon as I saw Jacob it seemed like nothing else was there.
"Hi" Jacob said seeming to be out of breath. It seemed like he was staring at me. I suddenly felt a blush creep up to my cheeks...
"Its been forever!" I finally said trying to break the awkward silence.
"Ha ha yeah." Jacob looked down. "Come on lets go get the guys, I bet they are ready to see you."
