Nessie busted in her room like she was the police, and went straight for her dresser. She tugged open the drawers rummaging through them looking for all of her bathing suits I can only assume. I walked over to her yellow canopy bed and flopped down. Seeing as it was only a twin my legs flopped lazily over the bottom. I thought this room had more of Nessie in it than her room at the cottage, since she spent more time here than there. The yellow walls were littered with pictures. Pictures she had drawn and pictures of her and the family. I was up there more than a few times and that made my heart burst with joy knowing she wanted to see me even when I wasn't here. I propped myself on my elbows and looked over to her and she was clumsily making her way to her bed with a pile of clothes she couldn't even see over. She had inherited the clumsy gene from Bella. She was always falling all over the place, but I was always there to catch her. Then it hit me I wouldn't be there with school starting Monday. I sighed at the thought and jumped off the bed to help her before she ran into something.
"Well, well what is all this Nessie?" I asked setting what she had on the bed.
"I told you Jakey you have to help me pick out a bathing suit for the beach!" I looked over the massive pile and wondered how many damn bathing suits could a little girl have? Damn Pixie.
"Mmm okay then spread them out I suppose." After twenty minutes of extensive looking she managed to decide on a blue and pink SpongeBob her favorite cartoon character. I of course didn't help much because she looked adorable in everything. She went to the bathroom to slip it on underneath her green sun dress and came back out with a huge smile plastered across her face.
"You ready little one?"
"Yes. I just need shoes." She answered
"'Kay. But do we have to make this an all day event, you choosing shoes?" I laughed knowing she was too much like Alice when it came to fashion…cared way too much. She rolled her eyes, reminding me so much of Edward I chuckled and laid back on the bed ready for another long debate on what to wear. She came out of the closet wearing a pair of white sandals with flowers up the strap.
"Wow that was fast." I stated grinning.
"Okay I'm ready!" She reached her hand out for me to take which I did all too willingly and she began skipping out of the room. I grabbed her beach bag sitting by her dresser on the way out. When we made it downstairs the scene was basically the same except Esme was sitting on the stairs with a sketch book humming to herself, and Edward and Bella were tangled on the couch together reading books. Upon reaching the last stair Esme got up with that smile.
"Jacob I made you and Nessie a picnic, just a few things really." Man she thought of everything I would probably die of starvation if it weren't for her.
"Thanks Esme. You always think of everything." Her smile got bigger and I wanted to hug her. What a weird feeling wanting to hug a vampire. I heard Edward chuckle from behind his book. Esme placed her hand on my arm and I didn't even cringe from the cold. That's really weird I'm getting way to close to these people.
"Have fun dears and be safe." She said directing the last statement at Nessie.
"S'okay grandma I'll be with Jake."Nessie replied surely.
"I know honey." She said hugging Nessie. I started for the door as Nessie rounded her family with kisses. She always had to say a proper goodbye to everyone, even if she would only be gone for an hour.
"Well um bye we'll be back by eight." I said awkwardly. Everyone kind of just nodded except Blondie who rolled her eyes. I swallowed back a blonde joke cause I just wanted to go. I picked up the basket off the table by the door and flung the door open and waited for Nessie. She skipped over to me and gave one last wave and we were out the door. We bounded down the stairs and started walking towards first beach; we made it to the beach in good time just as we got near the shore I could smell one of my wolf brothers…Seth.
"Seth!"Nessie shrieked running over and hugging his leg. I think Seth was her favorite wolf…besides me of course.
"Hey Ness! Jake!" He replied while rubbing Nessies back with his monstrous hand.
"Come on guys let's build a sandcastle!" Nessie interjected flopping to the ground on her knees starting to dig what I can only guess is the mote.
"So what are you doing out here so early for Seth?" I questioned while sculpting a lame tower.
"Uh, well Leah's thinking of moving out." He replied playing absently with the sand.
"Really, to where?" I questioned genuinely interested. Leah had gotten easier to live with since she broke away from Sam's pack to become my beta, so this was a shock.
"Mm she says to Oregon for school."
"Well that's not too far, it's good that she's doing something with her life. But that still doesn't explain why you're here?" I stated.
"Well the reason Leah's going so far is because Mom and Charlie are getting more I dunno, 'Serious'" he said putting air quotes around serious. I was still confused. What was wrong with that, we all knew it was coming. He sighed and continued when he took in my puzzled expression. "Leah feels like she's moving on to fast like she's forgetting dad and I kinda can't help but feel the same way." Oh now I got it.
"Oh well…" I shifted in the sand I didn't really know what to say. I don't think my dad has ever dated after my mom died. So I did the best I could. "I'm sure it is fast but I think…well I think Charlie makes your mom happy. I don't think your dad would want her moping around all the time."
He sighed "I guess you're right. I just wish she would slow down so Leah would shut the hell up. She's been trying to make my mom feel guilty." Ha so Leah I chortled. Nessie, Seth and I finally finished up our castle about an hour later. Seth decided to leave to see if his house was still in one piece knowing Leah's temper it wasn't.
"Can we go in the water now Jake?" Nessie questioned already taking her sandals and dress off. I laughed and stripped off my t-shirt socks and shoes and scooped Nessie up on my way running to the water. She was cracking up as I ventured out deeper and deeper eventually fully submerging us both. When we both resurfaced she continued where she left off laughing, causing me to laugh to. I swam us to shore laughing and set her down just far enough where the waves could wash over her feet. After our fit of laughter was done, she laid in sand with her soaking wet curls clinging to her face and her eyes closed. I thought this might be a good a time as any to tell her about Monday.
"Hey Nessie."
"Hmm?" she replied like she was deep in thought.
"Uh…uh well you see. You see…that cliff over there?" I chickened out at the last minute I don't know why I was so nervous to tell her. She opened her eyes and looked to where I was pointing.
"Yeah. What about it?" she questioned curiously.
"Your mom and I used to jump off that cliff a while back." Her eyes lit up, uh oh me and my big mouth.
"Really? I wanna try!" she yelped getting to her knees bouncing up and down anxiously.
"Maybe when your older tyke." I said brushing the wet hair from her face. She fell back on her butt crossing her arms and pouting.
"Aw come on Nessie." I groaned. "Do have any idea what your dad would do to me if I took you cliff diving? He'd rip me limb from limb." Her lips twitched trying not to crack a smile. "Do you want me to live?" I questioned.
"I guess so." She said jumping up and tackling me into the sand. I laughed and scooped her up for a hug. She wrapped her small arms around my neck and whispered. "I don't want you to go anywhere Jake. I love you too much." My heart almost exploded in that second. She had never told me that before and to hear he say it was all I could ever need.
"I love you too Nessie." I answered simply into her hair. I hugged her for a few more minutes and put her down across from me and crossed my legs she followed suit and looked me in the eyes. "Look Nessie I uh need to talk to you." Her face instantly grew anxious. So young and she already knew those words were never good. I laughed internally.
"What is it Jake?" she whispered looking at her hands in her lap.
"Well you see I have to go back to school." She looked at me questioningly, so I went on. "So that means I won't be around all the time." As realization hit her, her eyes instantly filled with tears. I reached over and pulled her into my lap. "Don't cry Nessie. I'll still get to see you! I Promise!" I babbled trying to ease her sadness. It killed me to see her cry.
"When?" she asked barely audible enough for me to hear, if I didn't have super hearing I'm sure I would have missed it.
"Well when I get out of school. And I'm sure any home work I have can be done at your place. And I'll be there to put you to bed every night and I'll be around every weekend." I explained
"Why do you have to go to school? Can't you just do what I do with grandpa and daddy?" She sniffed.
"Mmm I think I should just go to school and get my schooling done the normal way. While you're learning I will be too and I'll be a senior so I'll get out early most days so I'll be there at like one o'clock every day, I promise."
"Okay Jakey if you have too. I just want to be with you all the time. You're my best friend." It was amazing how amazing she was. All I had to do was explain once and she got it.
"You're mine too Nessie. Don't ever forget that I'm yours, Forever and always." I whispered into her hair. Boy oh boy was that true. More than anyone could ever guess. "You okay?" I asked worriedly.
"Yeah I guess so. But I'll miss you a lot when you're gone." I hugged her even tighter
"I will too Nessie every second I'm away." The rest of the day went by smoothly. I ate my food Esme had packed me it was amazing even for a sandwich. I tried to get Nessie to eat something but she was still full from her hunt. When 7:15 rolled around Nessie was exhausted and frankly so was I. I decided I would walk to my house and drive Nessie and I home seeing as she passed out cold in my arms walking to my house. When I got home I threw Nessies beach bag, Esme's basket and my shirt and shoes in the front seat and gently placed her in the back seat buckling her up and kissed her head. I slid in the driver seat and started my car and started cruising down the roads at a good pace in no rush to be apart. About fifteen minutes later I pulled up in the Cullen's drive way. Bella and Edward were on the porch waiting.
"Hey Jake." Bella greeted me with a smile as I climb up the stairs. "How was the beach?"
"Eventful." I answered truthfully. I went over the day's events in my head for Edward cause I didn't wanna wake Nessie by talking plus I was too tired to form sentences.
"Hmm." Edward said in reaction to my thoughts. Bella looked imploringly at Edward.
"Care to share?" she asked a little annoyed I didn't choose to speak out loud.
"It's nothing really Love. It seems Jacob has decided to go back and finish his high school education. He starts Monday on the reservation." Edward replied following me in the house as I took Nessie up to her room.
"Really Jake? That's great!" she said happily. All I could do was grunt.
"It seems our daughter has worn out the big bad wolf." Edward snorted I assumed Bella wasn't too pleased by my answer. Bella giggled. We had reached Nessies room I gently placed her on the bed and took off her shoes as Bella and Edward talked in the hall about something I couldn't comprehend because my brain was so clouded with exhaustion. I grab a blanket off the rocking chair that used to be in Bella's room at Charlie's and placed it over her and kissed her head. I tip toed out of the room and gently closed the door.
"What's up?" I questioned groggily.
"Maybe we should have this conversation tomorrow Jacob? I can't decipher a single thought. Are you even forming them?" Edward asked.
"Uh I don't really think so. I don't sleep so great at my house." I replied
"So I see. Well why don't you go to my old room and sleep here for the night?" He offered which totally surprised me. I really should have said no I felt so gross with all the salt water and the sand but I would probably just wreck my car if tried to drive home, and I'd get to be in the same house as Nessie.
"You're more than welcome to shower here and we could get you some shorts to sleep in?" Edward offered again answering my thoughts. I guess I was staying then.
"Uh thanks." I replied leaning against the wall. Bella and Edward laughed and Edward left down the hall without another word.
"I'll go grab you a towel Jake and your clothes will be laid out on the bed. Have a good night sleep and don't worry about a thing" she said turning on her heels the opposite way of Edward. I stayed where I was propped up against the wall fighting to stay conscious. Bella came back 30 seconds later with a fluffy white towel, a face cloth and body wash and handed them to me.
"Shower and sleep Jake." She said hugging me.
"Sure, sure." And with that I was made my way to the shower.
I opened the door to the huge bathroom and stripped off my clothes sand falling everywhere. I'd have to remember to clean that up in the morning. I started the shower and stepped in letting the hot water flow over me, trying to push me even further under. I quickly washed up and got out. The shower was filthy, another thing to do tomorrow. I dried off and wrapped the towel around my waist and walked out to the room. When I opened the door there on the bed was a brand new pack of t shirts, boxers, socks and a pair of basketball shorts I pulled them all on climbed on top of the bed. I cringed when I thought of Bella and Edward doing something on this bed. I didn't really care I was too tired to. Upon my head hitting the pillow I was out.
A/N: well? let me know good or bad. Reviews please?
