Well, don't just read this and stop. Take a sneak peek into the story. Don't judge a book by its cover. Sorry, I suck at summaries. Story is better than this.

Rated T; for swearing and stuff. .

Disclaimer: I do not own any twilight characters. Though I would have really loved to own Jacob and be his imprint.

Hope you enjoy my story. Have a nice time.

- love Melissa

Chapter 1 Nicknames

(Bella's POV)

I wake up startled by the sudden sound of thunder. You may think after living in this town one can get used to it but no, it's nothing like that. I walk over to close the windows of my room which are colliding against each other. At that moment I notice that Forks has never had such a heavy rain. The streets are literally flooded and if anyone dares to go out in this weather they are probably going to get themselves killed. A chill runs down my spine and I don't know why but I've got a very weird feeling like something major is going to happen.

I check my clock to see that it's only 3 in the morning, I can definitely get a few more hours of sleep. I climb back into bed and thinking of tomorrow, I doze off. When I opened my eyes it was not relatively as dark as the night before, that's when I realized I must still be asleep.

I can hear my own heartbeats as I run down the meadow. Something else is running too. I come to stop to finally notice the lion. Why is the lion running? Lions are born predators, what can have it running away. Suddenly, the lion looks at me. I feel panic as I think the lion is going to pounce on me Oh no, I'm going to die, I think to myself. I want to run but my legs are as stiff as rock.

My gaze is fixed on the lion to gauge his next action. I sense a movement to my left but I am terrified to shift my gaze from lion. After all, nothing can be bad as being eaten by lion, right? A Twig snaps and the lion whimpers while looking the intruder to my left. Before I can see who the intruder is, something swooshes past me with speed that nearly knocks me over. It caries the lion and they fade in a blur deep into jungle.

With a jolt I wake up, terrified of the dream I had. I am clutching the bed sheets so tight I my knuckles have turned white. I slowly loosen my grip on the sheet as I wait for the spinning in my head to stop. It always spins when I wake up suddenly.

I check the clock to see its half past eight. I have to get ready for school. I rush to the bathroom so I can freshen up quickly. When I get downstairs I realize Dad has already left for work. Our timings don't match much but its okay as we can always catch up during out dinner time. During the past few years our bond has become very strong. He has become more like a friend to me.

I eat my breakfast quickly and head to my Beetle. I love my Beetle, it's so damn amazing! Thinking about my love for the Beetle makes me think of Jacob. He has made it especially for me. He says he wants to be sure that I am safe and can reach him any time I want. I am so lucky to have him in my life! Yes! we are meeting today after school. Even though we're meeting to do our studies, I know we would be hanging around and having fun for most of the visit. It is because of our constant hanging around that our parents are pretty anxious about our studies.

Jacob and I have grown so much close over the years. It's like we are magnets. He understands me even better than I understand myself. I pull my truck into the school's parking lot and immediately find my best friend Angela standing there. Getting out of the truck I walkover to where she is. "Hey Ang! What's up, babes?" I say hugging her.

"Hi! Bella! Good morning," she signals sounding happy, her eyes shouting for help. I ask her confused what? She turns me partially so that I see Jessica glare at me. Oh, this is why she needs help.

"Hey Jessica, good morning to you too," I say forcing a smile.

"Hi Bella," she replies sounding bored. "Okay Angela, where were we?" she says resuming their conversation. Jessica is a nice girl but our relationship isn't that good. She is a back bitcher. She first sympathizes with people, takes out all the secrets and trades them with other girl's secret! Now, you see; why I hate her so much?

Poor Angela; She is too kind for speaking rudely to Jessica.

"Um, Jess, Can I please borrow Angela for a few minutes? Thanks!" I yell over my shoulder to Jessica as Ang and I quickly make a beeline for library, knowing she isn't going to come there until exams approach.

Ang and I are giggling while jogging, changing our route from library to cafeteria. I notice the bounce in her steps and I think she has put up some gloss and blush too. And that's saying a lot as Angela and make up are very rare.

"Ang," I say casually. "What are you hiding from me?" I narrow my eyes on her face to see her blush. "Oh um Bells, actually I don't know hot to say it." She says, her eyes dropping low and sadness in her voice. I pull her to stop.

"What happen, Ang?" I ask her, now concerned. I am oblivious to the fact that why she won't apply makeup if she is sad.

"Is it about Erick?" I ask her, trying to find out more about situation so I can help her properly. She nods slowly.

"What happened, Ang? Did he say something to you?" now, I am more concerned. Erick has been Ang's crush for whole three years now. I have told Angela to confess her feelings to him but she is too shy and is scared that he'll say no and it'll break their friendship. Why this girl has no self-confidence I seriously don't understand! She is so amazing after all!

"What happened, Angela? Please tell me. What did he say?" I ask her again.

"Bella, he (pause) he said(pause)" She takes a deep breath and finally rushes out.

"BellahesaidthathelikesmeandwillbethemostluckyguyifIsayyestobecomehisgirfriend."

Ok, did even you understand that? I seriously didn't.

"Ang, please slow down a little and tell me properly what he said." She sighs knowing that she cannot escape this one.

"Bella, he said that he likes me and will be the most lucky guy if I say yes to become his girlfriend." She looks at me, gauging m reaction after finishing her sentence. My Brain works a little slow if you didn't know. I finally register what she is saying. Holy Hades!

"Whaaat! You mean, he proposed you!?" I ask her shouting with happiness.

"Jeesh, Bella! No need to shout! I can hear you, alright! But yes he did." She blushes softly, a smile tugging at her lips. Awe! I am so happy for her!

"And? C'mon Ang tell fast! What did you say?" I ask now, wanting all the details. I know she must've said yes but I still want to hear it from her.

"oh, Bella. I said I wanted time to think…' she trailed of. What! I gape at her, not finding my voice. Why would she want time when she likes him so much?

"Why the hell would you do that? Don't you like him" now I am confused plus frustrated. Not a good combination.

"Oh silly Bells; Of course I like him! But I wanted my bestie's opinion on what to do.' She nudges my elbow. Ok what is it with her giving me shock after shock today? Erick proposed her and she is asking my opinion on what she should tell him when she already likes him. This just keeps getting better and better.

"Okay, listen to me Ms. Angela Weber and listen very carefully. We are going to café now, and you are telling him your answer which I expect to be yes, right NOW. So, shall we move?" I am really touched that she felt the need to consider my opinion but I don't want Erick to think that she isn't interested and so she is taking time.

I take her hand and am just about to walk ahead when our school Bells rings indicating two minutes for classes to start.

"Damn it!" I curse under my breath and hear a sigh of relief from Angela. I glare at her and warn her that it's not over yet while running to class. While in class I tell Ang to tell Erick to meet her during lunch time and we keep chatting passing notebook to each other.

After the school end, I am exhausted from all of emotions of extra assignments, homework, Jessica's normal taunting and Ang and Erick's relationship status. I am so happy for Ang, she really deserves someone who loves her.

Finally I throw my backpack in backseat and start my Beetle. It roars to life, cheering my mood as I am off to go see my bestest friend in world- Jacob. You'd think I would've gotten used to it, since we've been friends for years, but I always feet happier when meeting Jacob. It is like as soon as I am with him all the tension is gone and I am safe from the rest of the world.

I had given him the title of "My Personal Sun" and he is! He had said that if he is my sun, then I have to be something very close to him.

"You are my Sunshine then." His words echo in my mind and a smile forms on my lips.

*Flashback*

Jacob and I were walking on the beach, hand in hand. People looked at us and smiled lovingly mistaking us as a young in love couple. That was fine; Jacob and I had a relationship deeper than love.

We had decided to go to the beach since it was a warm and sunny day. Yes, for once the Sun had decided to show itself on the beach of La Push. It felt good to have some change. Jacob was also in a good mood and when he was happy it was impossible not to smile, it came naturally. Whenever Jacob was around, there would be a happy smile on every face he was talking to. It was like he had a constant positive air around him and whoever breathed that air seemed to forget all of their tension.

"Isn't it beautiful and calm?" I asked enjoying the sunset which was rare. I look up into Jacob's face waiting for his response.

"Yes, it is." He said looking down at me causing me to blush.

"Jake," I warned in a soft voice looking down, still blushing. I couldn't look into his eyes because I knew if I did I would want to stare into them forever.

"What Bells?" My name from his mouth sounded like a sweet melody. (Of course only Jacob, Angela and Charlie were allowed to call me "Bells") "What did I do?" he teased, his voice innocent yet husky. I finally return my gaze to his face finding a mischievous grin spreading even wider. Boy, I loved that smile.

"Shut up Jake!" I said jokingly as I swatted his arm.

"Ah! Save me from this girl!" He yelled dramatically. I couldn't help but laugh at the expression on his face.

"Wow… it's so good to hear your laugh. It's like my own personal lullaby and it makes me even happier." Awe, he really was my best friend. Suddenly, when he said the word "personal" I remembered what I had to tell him.

"Jacob, you know I have given you a nickname. I just thought of it when I was in the library at school. You want to hear it?" I look at him again seeing him nod. "You won't laugh, will you?" I asked hopefully.

"Of course not, Bells. Go ahead," he said with an assuring look.

I smiled at him and took a deep breath. "Okay, I know this may sound cheesy but I really feel like you are My Personal Sun," I paused biting my lip and he waited for me to continue. "I mean you always happen to light up my mood. You are the only rare person with whom I can talk to and Forks is always lacking the need for Sun. So, I thought it would suit you best." I finally completed my little speech with a sigh of relief. I expected him to laugh and say it was idiotic of me to think like this but I was surprised by his response.

"Oh Bells, thanks a lot! It's such a loving name," He passed me a cheeky smile. He got quiet so I stole a glance and I could tell by the crease on his forehead that he was thinking hard. He looked so cute even when frowning and I couldn't help but smile.

He finally broke the silence by jumping up from the rock we were sitting on. He was as excited as a little kid. "Yes Bells! I got it! You are my sunshine!" he said bouncing with excitement.

"Sunshine…?" I repeated his word like a question. Of course my brain worked slow and I was confused.

"Yes Bells! You are my sunshine! It's your new nickname silly," My face must've shown confusion clear on it because he continued speaking. "See. It's like hard to explain. But you nicknamed me as Your Sun, right?" He waited for my respect. I nodded since there was no confusion in that aspect.

"So if I am your Sun then you have to be something close to the sun, as you are to me. So I thought Sunshine would be nice. Actually there's one more reason I thought of it."

Okay, I was slowly taking in his thoughts. He was so cute to add up such logic. Finally he continued. "You really are my sunshine. it's like whenever I am with you I forget all of my worries. One look at your face and my day lights up, Bella." He laid emphasis on my name which made me look into his eyes. They were so expressive, they always showed whatever Jacob was telling wasn't a lie.

"Bella, you in there?" He asked shaking me slightly, bringing me out of my trance.

I jumped up and hugged him as tight as possible to me. "Oh! Jacob! really you are the best!" I couldn't help resist. I was so overwhelmed by his words that tears of joy were escaping my eyes. I know it was too much to cry but I couldn't help it.

"Bella… Bella… I… am… out of… bre… breath" He said in between gasps.

Oh my god! I instantly loosened my grip

*End of Flashback*

I smile at the memory, as it was the first time I hugged Jacob so hard that he couldn't breathe. The closer I get to Jacob's house the more the excited I become. I don't know what we are going to do but even if we are simply staring at the ocean, it would be one of the most precious moments of my life.

An: the first chapter's out. So, does anyone notice, what's the change? Please tell me if you do!

Thanks for sticking up with me!
