Hey Nessie,

How are you? Doing good over here :D Are Bella and Edward hunting tonight? If so see you at La Push.

Jake xx

I sighed. Bella and Edward (they had insisted that I call them that seeing as, physically, I'm the same age as them) weren't planning to go hunting for a good week, together at least, since Emmett had revealed what I was doing when they were out. I nearly punched him; of course I didn't, I'd probably break my hand if I did, but all the same, it sucked rocks. Edward had forbidden me from seeing Jake at all while he was out ('a young werewolf is too dangerous') but Bella told me not to take it too personally because apparently he'd told her the same. But Jake was just so cool to be with-seeing as now I was physically old enough to be his girlfriend, plus he would always start a conversation with a rant about Leah in private. Very rarely did Leah give us time to ourselves-She was always hovering behind Jake, being the potentially useful but mainly annoying Beta, making up jokes like, 'Ooh, Nessie, can I do your next birthday party? How old are you next week, seven?'

True as it was, I am not visibly seven, more like 18, so a 'Happy 18th Birthday!' banner would be more appropriate. Nonetheless, Edward all but threw her out the house when she turned up for my '17th'-that's 6 ¾ to anyone else.

Hi Jake,

Can't come tonight-Edward's banned me from seeing you until further notice 'cause you're 'too dangerous'. Grrr. He can be so annoying at times. I'll see what I can do. Laters,

Nessie xx

At that moment, Alice came bouncing up the stairs.

"Happy almost-Birthday Nessie!" she squealed.

"Huh," was all I could manage.

"You're going to have to stay up here tonight, seeing as you inherited Bella's hatred of parties. So I've sent up Jasper to keep you company", she pressed on, as if I hadn't said anything.

"Oh." I glanced at the clock. 11:30 pm. In less than 30 minutes time, I'd be seven. It sounded weird when I said it like that. Seven years old and I have a boyfriend. Thinking of Jake reminded me; Bella's dislike of parties wasn't the only thing I'd inherited. I flung Rose's window open and jumped.

"I told you she'd do that," I heard Alice murmur, probably to Edward, but I didn't care. Knowing that Edward would be after me in half a second, I decided to get into a public place as soon as possible; he'd never dare stop me like that with witnesses, and I was much faster than him at 'human' speed. And how better to get to La Push than by Volvo.

"Nessie, you came!" Jake greeted me once I'd rolled down the window. He's waited for me, how sweet. "And you…stole Edward's car."

I shook my head in playful disagreement. "Not steal…permanently borrow." He laughed. I touched his face, imagining.

"Oh. Okay." He agreed, and slipped into the Volvo. Then he muttered something about 'stinking bloodsuckers' and 'six-year-olds driving cars' and I laughed.

"I'm nearly seven!" I teased, and we set off to his house.

Once there, Jake got out and opened the door for me. Then he went into the garage and came out pulling his and Bella's old motorbikes. I'd always been crap at driving the bike, but it felt good and made me look cool, so I'd just take the slack from Edward later, when I came back driving his soon-to-be-dented car with at least four broken bones. Grinning, I kicked the engine into life and set off far too fast. Knowing it wouldn't be long before I hit another tree-like last time-I moved to lift the visor on my helmet and let the breeze hit my face, until I realised that I wasn't wearing one in the first place.

"JAAAAAAKE!" I yelled, and within 5 seconds, a huge russet wolf was running beside my bike. I grinned, involuntarily squeezing the breaks and flying over the handles. "Well, there goes my birthday present from Edward" I sighed, Thank God I've got vampire skin, I added mentally. I checked my watch. 5 minutes to 12.

"I need to go, Jake," I said, "Alice will kill me if I miss the party." Jake sighed.

Reluctantly, I pushed the bike over to the Volvo and set off home.

Wanting to avoid an argument, I muttered, "going to the cottage" as I stepped out of the car. Knowing that Edward had heard me, I thought, 'screw that', and sprinted into the forest. I needed anti-depressants (chocolate). Why didn't I get Edward's 'love' for parties (he only loved them because they annoyed the hell out of Bella)? Ugh. Alice would over-do it by a couple of thousand miles. Tomorrow was going to suck.
