It is Friday, September 10. My birthday. My name is Nessie Cullen, and I'm seven years old. I look like I'm eighteen. My best friend (and werewolf) Jacob Black was here before I even woke up. He's going to take me to school. I think I may tell him how I feel about him. Which is that I am majorly in love with him.
As I walk into the kitchen in the cottage I hear my mom making me some eggs. I always loved eggs. That is the only human food I will eat.
"Hey mom." I said, as I sat down.
"Hello, sweetie. Happy birthday," She replied.
" Do you know where Jake is at?"
"Yes he went to have Alice wrap your birthday present from him. He's awful with that kind of thing," She said and smiled.
" And where's dad? I have to talk to you about something."
"He's out hunting. What is it…?" she asked. " Is it serious?"
I bit my lip, knowing Jake and her's history. "Well it's about Jacob. And it is pretty serious." I stopped bracing myself for what I was about to say. " Mom, I love Jacob. I don't know how to tell him. Don't tell Daddy though."
"Oh sweetie. I knew this day would come. My advice is just to tell him," Mom said as she hugged me tightly.
Just then Jacob walked in. "Hey Ness," He said all smiles, and hugged me. I almost melted.
"Hey. How are you?" It now felt awkward around him. What if he didn't feel the same?
"Good. Ready for school?"
"Yep. Let me get my bag." I said.
I ran up to my room, took a deep breath, thought to myself, You are strong. Whatever he says just go with it.
I walked into the kitchen and my dad was now there. "Happy birthday, my angel." He said to me.
"Thanks. I'll see you after school." I said.
"Is there something wrong, Ness?" Jake asked.
"No of course not," I lied, laughing it off.
Mom was using her shield on me so my father couldn't read my thoughts.
"You're awfully quiet today. I know something's wrong."
"No, nothing is wrong it's just… I'm in love with you. You might not feel the same way, but I just want you to know that."
"Ness…."
