(Nessie's POV)
For the longest time, Jakes alway's been my best friend.
Wait - Scratch that.
Ever since I was born, Jake has been my best friend.
Always.
Well - until now, that is.
I woke up pretty early, for once in a long time. Lately I've been sleeping a lot. More then Jake normally does. I get up, go to school, go home, do my homework and sleep until the next morning. I haven't hung out of really talked to Jake in a month or two - and not seeing your best friend in such a long time kind of makes you antsy.
Really fucking antsy.
Thank god it was Saturday - and I luckily didn't have any homework this weekend, which surprises me - since I'm in all advanced classes.
I pushed my covers off of myself and walked to my bathroom, I took a quick shower and shaved my legs - I'm wearing shorts today. It's the first day of June and I won't be caught dead being the last person to be wearing shorts this summer season.
School's out in three weeks, we had so many snow days this year they had to drag the school year longer. Which kind of made me want to shoot myself, I wanted my Junior year to end already!
It was hard to think about how I was only 7 - yet looked 10 years older than that. There hasn't been signs of the Volturi in years - everyone's pretty much let their gaurd down, trying to let me live a life as close to human as possible. It didn't really help when you had a werewolf best friend and your family is a bunch of vampires.
So, I always tried to not think about that.
Most of the time it was a fail.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself, I walked out of my bathroom and into my closet picking out a cute top, some jean shorts and a pair of my Sperry's.
I went back into my bathroom and dried my hair, I straightened my long curly, bronze tresses slowly - making sure it was completely straight. I applied light make up; sparkly eyeshadow that blended in with my skin, mascara and some bubbled gum pink lip gloss.
I smiled in satisfaction and picked my cell phone up from my dressed. I dialed Jake's number without looking and he answered after four rings,
"Heeello?" He answered groggily.
"Hey Jake!" I said as I sat on my bed.
"Nessie! Hey," He said happily. He seemed much more awake now.
"So, um I haven't seen in a while...wanna hang out at the beach today? Maybe go swimming if it stays warm?" I suggested as I got up and went to my closet to look for my swim suit.
"Yeah sure, but may I ask why the hell did you call at seven in the morning to ask me to go swimming?" He laughed lightly, I smiled kind of wondering why too.
"I just woke up earlier then I thought, Sorry Jake."
"Oh no, it's perfectly fine Ness. No problem at all. I'll pick you up around noon?" He asked,
"Yeah, sounds good. See you at noon - bye Jake!" I hung up the phone and smiled, it was nice to talk to him again.
I left my room and skipped down the stairs, normally when I wake up I'm a snarky bitch - hmm.
Weird.
"Hey peanut, up early today?" Daddy asked me as I plopped on the sofa next to him and mom.
"Yeah, I guess - I'm going to the beach later with Jake, is that okay?" I asked them, giving them the please, please, pleeeasee look.
"That's perfectly fine sweetheart, you haven't seen Jake in a long time - maybe some time at the beach will be good." My mother said with a smile. I jumped of the couch happily.
"Okay! Thank you," I said as I kissed both of their cheeks and left the living room to go into the game room where Uncle Emmett and Jasper were.
"Mornin' Ness." Jasper said as he hit the buttons quickly on his controller. "Dammit Emmett, Stop shootin' me and tryin' to kill me! I'm on your team!" I laughed and sat in between them.
"No! Don't shoot me back Jasper, not cool man!" Emmett yelled as he began shooting frantically at random people in the game,
"Uncle Em - stop killing innocent people." I said with a laugh and a shake of my head.
"I'll do what I want." He grumbled. I rolled my eyes and got off the couch, I went over to the computer and decided to check the weather. The forecast was pretty nice for today, well until around five o' clock.
"Whaaatcha doooooin'? A voice asked from behind me, I laughed and turned around to see my pixie of an aunt rocking back and forth on her heels.
"Nothing anymore." I said, I knew what she was going to ask.
"Can I give you a makeover - you know it's been forever?" She clasped her hands together and begged me. I rolled my eyes and agreed.
"YAY YAY YAY YAY!" She screamed as she pulled me out of the game room and up into her and Jaspers room. "So you're hanging out at the beach today with Jake right? Well - you haven't seen him in forever so you wanna make him go crazy - right? Okay well soo that outfit won't suffice, here - wear this, the shoes are fine...oh and this bikini is sooo cute, so wear it under that." She began rambling as she shoved me into the bathroom to change. I put on the skimpy bikini from VS and then the extremely short jean shorts from who knows where, the material pocked hanging out kind of made me think they were from hollister.
The top wasn't to bad, it was just a plan pink tank top from some other designer I couldn't name.
I walked out of the bathroom feeling whore - ish.
"Alice...Why am I even wearing this? Jacob's only my friend. It'd be weird." I said awkwardly.
"You look nice - it's noon anyways and he's pulling up into the driveway right now, so you can't change." She smiled evilly and ushered me out of the room.
Greaaaaat.
"Nessie - Jake's here!" I heard my mother call from downstairs. Alice handed me a beach bag filled with god knows what, and pushed me down the stairs before hiding in her room again.
Little freak.
I skipped down the stairs and saw Jake in the doorway, he's gotten maybe another inch taller and somehow even more muscular than he was before.
When will this man stop growing! He was at least 6'10 by now, which was crazy. I was only 5'9''!
He seemed to stare at me a little longer then just a friend would - but I mean, Alice did put me in clothes that were next to nothing. "Hey, let's get going." I said, I just wanted to leave before daddy threw a hissy fit.
"Alright, sounds good." We left my house and climbed into his huge truck - well I climbed, Jacob didn't.
"You look different Ness, It's seriously been way to long since we last talked, I've really missed you." He seemed to emphasize a few words, I smiled - making sure he knew I caught the drift.
"Yeah, I know. I've just been so busy and tired lately - It great to see you again." I squirmed in my seat. It was kind of awkward now. I've matured a lot in the last two months and I'm pretty sure Jake's noticed - since he keeps stealing glances in my direction.
He parked and car and ended up having to help me get out, I was afraid to jump. "A bunch of the other guys are here too, You just wanna hang with them - or just have it be just us?" I bit my lip and thought about it, it might be awkward if it was just us, so I went with the other guys.
"Let's hang out with them." I said softly and I held my bad on my shoulder. He looked a little disappointed but agreed anyways with a smile. We made our way over to Seth, Leah, Jared, Kim and Collin and some other boy I didn't know.
"Drake - this is Ness, Ness this is Drake. He's a new pack member." Jake said as he set our stuff down next to everyone else's.
I waved a hello and gave him a wave.
He gawked at me until Seth hit the back of his head.
"Um - well I'm just gonna go swim, you guys staying here or coming?" I asked as I took my tank top off. I watched as Jake looked away and took a deep breath in before looking at me again.
He was acting weird.
"Let's go swim." Seth said. "Last one in gets dunked!" He yelled as He took his shirt off and ran to the water. I pulled my shorts and shoes off quickly and followed in his direction.
The last one in the water was Jake, ironically. No one went near him except me. I jumped on his back and attempted to dunk him - he didn't move.
"Let's play chicken!" Leah suggested.
"Dibs on Nessie!" All the guys except Jared yelled. Jake turned and glared at them - "I'll take Leah." Drake said, "Colin...you're stuck with Seth." We all snickered.
"No way man, I'm out then." Seth said as held his hands up in protest.
I laughed and got on Jakes shoulders. "I swear if you drop me - you're dead Black." I threatened.
"You can't touch this," He said with a laugh. I slapped him playfully and smirked.
"Looks like I just did."
There was a chorus of ooooh's when I said my comeback.
"Leah Versus Nessie first!" Jared said with a laugh. "This ought to be a good one."
Leah got onto the Drakes shoulders and we started pushing each other playfully, I successfully knocked Leah into the water and let out a victory laugh.
I think this'll be a fun day.
Yeah, so I have the middle of this story figured out - I just have to make the beginning somewhat good. I need heeeelp! Review PLEASE. Oh and thank you to my first reviewer who helped me clear things up, It's seriously been awhile since I've started a new storie, i'm rusty! Haha.
