"So... you never feel like you want anybody else?" she asked in confusion.

"Why would I want anybody else?" Now it was MY turn to be confused.

"So you never want to play the field, see other people, get some experience outside of Jacob?" She looked at me carefully.

"No... why would I?" I struggled to understand where she was coming from. With Jacob around, I barely noticed that other males even existed. "Jacob is the most wonderful... the most perfect... Jake is just so... so... I can't explain it, he's just so RIGHT in every way and he is so gorgeous I have a hard time controlling myself around him most of the time..." I sighed as my thoughts raced off towards Jacob again and I felt my stomach melt and electricity whizz through my veins, making my heart beat even faster.

"I don't know... doesn't he scare you?"

"Why on earth would he scare me?" I laughed.

"I dunno... he's just so BIG, don't you get intimidated by him? I mean you're five seven and he looks about ten feet tall..."

"Jacob's such a sweetie I barely notice he's so tall..." Oh yeah, as if I don't notice every single cell on his body.

"What do you do with him?" She sounded embarassed yet curious at the same time and I groaned inwardly. I knew what i WANTED to do with him, and oh boy did I let him know... his response, however, was always the same; you are six years old!!

"Not a lot..." I eventually replied. "See, he's so stubborn about my age..."

"Oh..." She sighed, and I wondered why SHE sounded so disappointed. Then she burst out "I am so SICK of being single!! What's wrong with me?!"

I stare at my best friend, trying not to laugh. So this was what she was so cut up about then? The weeks of moping, of not telling me what was wrong and interrogating me about my relationship with Jacob.

"Nothing's wrong with you..." I tried to sooth, wondering what I could possibly do to help? Have dad pick the guys' brains at school to see who liked her then set her up? No, no, he might hear something he didn't want to... I knew what I looked like and I wasn't stupid enough to assume that there wouldn't be someone with an overactive imagination. I could get Alice to see into her future, maybe she could pick something up. No, that wouldn't work either, she was around me, the Blind Spot, too much for Alice to be able to see. I racked my brains desperately for something that could help her...

"Then why am I the ONLY girl in the junior year who hasn't been kissed yet?" Her bottom lip trembled suddenly and I groaned inwardly. What I wouldn't give to have Jasper here right now... or better yet, a surprise boyfriend for her.

"I don't know... maybe fate has something bigger in store for you?" I smiled.

"You think?" Oh great, now she sounded too hopeful... I wanted to kick myself.

"Maybe... who knows?"

Inspiration struck.

"Hey! Me and Jake and mu- I mean Bella are going down to La Push, to where Jacob used to live, to see his dad. I bet there's some really cute guys there. You wanna come?"

She stared at me with wide eyes.

"S-sure..." She stuttered, then smiled weakly. "I'm sorry... I know I'm being pathetic... It's just... seeing you and Jacob and everyone else ..." She trailed off miserably.

"Stop moping!" I said cheerfully, then growled, "or I'll set Emmett on you!"

Her eyes widened, and I knew she would shut up, because she, along with every other person at school was afraid of Emmett... I couldn't see why and I'd long ago given up any hopes of trying to understand how their minds worked when it came to my family.

I laughed t her expression. "Come on! Let's go ask your dad if you can come next week!"

"Next week?? Erm... won't you have you ask Carlsile? Or Esme? Or Bella and Jacob for that matter?"

"They won't mind," I replied brightly, dragging her along with me. There was only five minutes until Jacob was would get home and mind had wondered off again, thinking of this wonderful, perfect guy, of Jacob and how he was all miney mine mine... My heart thudded wildly again.
