"Rachel, are you awake?" I heard from the side of my bedroom window. "It's me."

I sat up unconsciously, my long, raven black hair falling behind me in a dark waterfall-like motion. Rubbing my eyes, I saw Jacob Black… my best friend and crush for plenty of years. See, Harry Clearwater was my father, Leah and Seth my brother and sister. Ever since both of them went through The Change, Billy, Jacob's dad and an elder of our tribe, told me to stay away from my ravenous siblings, because they would be a danger to me and our father was not around to protect me... he was dead. I was never mentioned to anyone in the tribe, because of the fact that I went into hiding. Jacob found an abandoned cottage in the woods for me to stay in until it was safe for me to come back to the Rez. When I emerged from hiding after six long months, the Pack and the tribe had many questions… Did she flee the Rez when Harry died? Is she a wolf, too? Has Jacob been seeing her secretly? Do Leah and Seth know she's alive? Did she make friends with the Bloodsuckers? That's not even the half of it. As my brother and sister found out that I was in hiding after our father's death, they tried to turn me to the Pack. They didn't understand that I just wanted to be normal, a figment in the background of their glory. Jacob didn't see it that way, he said it was smart that I didn't join the Pack just because Leah did or that they wanted me in anyway. I kind of enjoyed how no one knew about me when Seth and Leah took the spotlight in our family. I was 'abandoned', you could say, but I actually wanted to be. Jacob didn't ignore me, though. He told me stories of this girl named Bella, a human who fell in love with one of them… the Cullen Bloodsuckers. She even went to Italy to restore their love and MARRIED the bloodsucker. I could tell Jake liked Bella, and that made me highly jealous. I'd never met Bella, but now I would get the chance to, because Jacob was invited to the bloodsucker's wedding to Bella, and I was his date. I wanted to actually get some sleep before this extravagant event, but Jacob just HAD to wake me up.

"Hey, Jake… what's up?" I asked absent mindedly, still rubbing my eyes.

"I just wanted to see you, I need someone to talk to." He replied, lying down on my bed beside me. He looked tired, probably from hunting. I offered him blankets, but he turned them away kindly. I wrapped myself in my sheets and lay down again; we were face to face. This made my heart do that flipping thing it always does whenever I'm with him.

"Well, what about?"

"It's about… the wedding tomorrow," he started, "I mean, I don't know if I really want to go anymore. It's like Bella is just being stupid and marrying some vicious monster that can kill her on their honeymoon. She's so stupid for even considering marrying… Edward." Jacob said, Edward Cullen's name sounding like poison falling from his mouth.

"You really do like her, don't you?" I sighed.

"I don't really know anymore. I fought for her once, but she just pushed me aside… not once, but twice." He hissed, and I shook my head.

"Jake, get a grip. If she's happy, why don't you be happy for her, too? It's really not that hard… it's just her decision that you're not settling with." I lectured. Jacob turned on his back, looking at the ceiling. I heard him sigh and he turned his head to face me. His eyes were glittering like stars and a crescent moon, shining brightly in the La Push sky.

"I guess you're right, Rachel. I'll just have to come to grips with it."

I looked him in the eye and smiled, a rippling effect that made him do the same. "Are you sure you're a Clearwater?"

We both laughed and my eyes started feeling heavy. I tried to blink the sleep away, but it wasn't working. Jake noticed, and touched my forehead softly. "Sleep, Rachel. I'll be here in the morning, bright and early."

I mumbled an, 'okay', and as soon as I felt his hand on my cheek, he was gone. I let my eyes close slowly, visions filling my head. How much I wanted Jacob to lie beside me for eternity… he would never know.
