Chapter 2

Catching Up

The flight to Washington was just like any other day I'd come to visit Jake, except this time I knew I wasn't going back. I said my goodbyes to Tanya and the rest. I'd miss them, mostly Carmen. Carmen was one of those special family members, who you can tell anything to without judgment. She was always there for me. She home schooled me when Esme and Aunt Rose couldn't, she taught me Spanish and how to bake those delicious, soft chocolate chip cookies that she'd always made for me. Though, she only thought of teaching me after we announced we were leaving. I suppose she'd want me to have a memory of her, but still, I couldn't put the love and affection in them the way she did. I really will miss Carmen. I mean, it's not like I'll never see them again though. I'm sure that if I wanted to go and visit the Denali's, all I would have to do was ask.

When we arrived in Forks it was raining, of course. It's been a long time since we were in our big and open house, because when I walked through the door, a spider trapped me in its web.

"Ha ha" I heard Uncle Em say while he watched me strangle to get free of the gigantic web, "look who's the prey now you little Loch Ness Monster!" Ugh, I hated it when he called me that! I was just about to spring at him when suddenly, I felt calm and relaxed. So I released my attacking crouch.

"Thanks Jasper." I heard Aunt Rose say.

She must have seen me about to attack Emmett. When I attacked Emmett, each and every time it would lead to us destroying things. Most of the time I'd go in Aunt Rose and Uncle Em's room, then I'd try and destroy his stuff, but some of it would end up being some of Aunt Rose's most precious gifts she'd received from Uncle Em. I can't tell you how many times I said sorry for that one. Still, I wanted to attack him.

"No Uncle Jas, let me at him!" I pleaded.

Esme sighed then looked up at Carlisle, "It's good to be home, huh sweetie?"

"Yeah, I know what you mean." except it wasn't Carlisle who responded. It was Jasper.

We all laughed and everyone began to clean up the dusty place and put up decorations and pictures they'd taken with them. I then saw my cell-phone vibrating. There were 3 text messages and I clicked on them. All 3 from Jacob. The text-messages said:

Hey Ness, how was your flight?

I swear, if I EVER c u try and slap my sister's ass in front of me ever again, I'll rip ur head off! *angry face from text icon*

Opps, srry Nessie. I didn't mean 2 send that 2 u. Just delete it, ok.

I erased the 2nd text just like he'd told me. He must have meant to send that to Paul. It sounds like something he'd do just to anger Jacob. It made me wonder why they had each others phone number if they didn't like each other. Maybe it was for emergencies. Later that day, Jacob came to pick me up. I was glad because I didn't really have anything else to do, besides read books and listen to music. After Aunt Rose and Jacob got done arguing about how "Jacob never gives me any space" we started walking in the woods. After 10 minutes, as though it seems, passed by, I realized we weren't heading in the direction of Jacob's place.

"Where are we going?" I asked Jacob, breaking our silence.

"Sam and Emily are getting married, remember? You and Claire were arguing about who was going to be the flower girl. The option's still open, if you want." Jacob said while giving me his famous, Jacob-grin.

"Oh, now I remember, and Jacob, that was a year ago. Don't you think I'm a little too old to be a flower girl?"

"You're barely 3 Nessie. Hmm...well I guess you're right." Jacob said and sighed at my rapid growth, "I'm just a little disappointed that you're going to become a teenager in less than 2 months. I thought I'd have to deal with those nasty, horny little boys a lot further into the future."

"You're worst than my dad!", I said with a smile on my face, "Well, no one can be worst than my dad, but you're getting there." Jacob chuckled.

"So what else is going on?" I said, trying not to end our conversation.

"Sam decided to let Rick be his best-man and for Leah to be the brides-maid."

Wow, Leah actually agreed to it. Leah's been moping around looking like the saddest person alive the closer it came to the wedding. Though, it was nice of Leah to do this for Emily. I just hope Leah doesn't collapse when she see's Emily walking down the aisle. Now that would be in wedding history. Even though I'm sure there's already been a collapsing brides-maid at a wedding before. Still, I had a question left in my head.

"Who's Rick?"

Jacob sighed then said, "It really has been a long time since I've updated you with the Quileute's. Anyways, Rick is Sam's long lost cousin. Well, I should say short lost cousin. He's about 19 and he and Sam have been best friends until Sam graduated high school. Since then they haven't been seeing each other often, and Rick moved to some big city to meet college girls even though Sam kept lecturing him about how he's going to college to learn, not party."

"Rick sounds like every other guy about to go off on there own for the first time."

"Yeah." Jacob responded.

"Um Jake, can I ask you something? I didn't get a chance to last weekend, remember?" my voice sounded a little shaky.

"Sure Ness, what did you want to talk about?

"Well, you know about how your kind finds there...um... "other half"?" I tried not to make it sound like a question, but it didn't really work.

"Yeah...what do you mean?" Jacob's voice started to get shaken as well.

"Jacob, please don't interrupt me and just listen, okay." he nodded, "You know about Sam and Emily, Paul and Rachel, and Kim and Jared. And you know about Quil and Clair and you and me right? Soooo I was just wondering why me out of all the vampires you killed you accept me? I know that you hated my family once before. Why did that change after I was born? I'm sorry if I'm just looking at this too hard, but it just doesn't make any since." I finally stopped talking and waited for his answer. It made me impatient.

It took Jacob a while to respond and he stopped walking in his trails. Suddenly, Jacob opened his mouth and said, "What made you think of this?"

"I'm not an idiot Jacob, I catch on to stuff."

"Uh huh, I can see that." then he continued, "Nessie, I would tell you, but now isn't the right time. I know it seems unfair, but you have to try and see this from my prospective a little. You're just...too young to know."

I was about to interrupt him on his comment about being "too young", but he hushed me by putting his finger up near my mouth, "Don't think you're the only one that doesn't know, Claire doesn't know about it either, neither does some other people on the rez. I know this you don't understand, but when I do tell you, you'll know why I waited. For now, just please try and not question me or anyone else about it." Jacob finally was done talking and let out a long sigh.

"Okay Jacob, I won't talk about it anymore."

"Good." Jacob replied.

"At least for now." I added.

Jacob laughed lowly and nodded. We continued walking in our path, and then we finally reached our destination.

The wedding was beautiful, thanks to Alice. Not to my surprise, Emily aimed the bouquet right into my hands, only because Leah ran to the bathroom. I'll get Emily back for that one. I was the only one in my family who could attend since some of the people there didn't like "us" because they either knew what we were or because of the legends of the tribe. It lasted for about 6 hours. Maybe longer since I wasn't really keeping track of time. Throughout the after-party, I noticed, well we all noticed that Leah was taking a lot of interest in Rick.

Rick was about 6"1. His hair was fairly long for a male. Sort of like Jasper's. His hair was a very dark auburn color and his eyes were a light-ish black color. Rick was big, very big. Not in the overweight department, but his muscles were large. So large that it seemed even his fingernails could have muscles. Rick was pretty attractive, not to me of course, but I couldn't blame Leah for her behavior. They actually looked kind of cute together. I'm glad Leah's happy after all this moping.

Time went by so quickly-again. I had nothing to do on Saturday. The only almost teenager who didn't have anything better to do, but read books all day and listen to music. After 4 months passed by, things stayed the way they would. The only interesting thing was that Rick phased and he fell in love with Leah in some weird way the tribe has never experienced before. They became a couple, obviously, and Leah isn't such a pain now as she was 4 months ago. So that left me with nothing. Nothing to say, nothing to worry about. I lied down on my bed and got ready to go to sleep. Waiting to see what challenges, the next day would bring to me.

End of Chapter. Please review, subscribe etc.. I promise it will get interesting in the future, which is a lot closer than you think, but for now just keep reading. Oh yeah, about Leah and Rick, I'm thinking about writing another book, well novel, about them and how they met and all that. When I'm finished with this one of course, or I could muli-task, but remember that If I do multi-task then the chapters aren't going to be updated as soon as they usually would be. Thanks for reading and I'll try to update soon.
