(Emma's POV)
I was cleaning my apartment when the phone suddenly rang. I was startled by the sudden noise, so it took me a moment to compose myself. When I finally answered the phone I heard a deep husky on the other end.
"Hello is Emma there," asked an uncertain voice.
"This is she. Who is this?" I asked confused. How does this person know me?
"Ummm…well you might not remember me, but this is Jacob." Did he just say Jacob…as in….Jacob….JACOB BLACK!!!...
"OH MY GOODNESS!! IS THAT REALLY YOU JACOB? IS IT?" I couldn't believe it after nine years it really was Jacob, my best friend, who I extremely missed. I thought I would never hear from him again. But how did he find me? Where is he? I had so many questions. I just couldn't believe I was talking to him. I hadn't realized I was crying until I felt a tear fall on my hand. I wanted to see him right then and there so I gave him directions to my apartment.
"Well, I'll be there soon." He told me
"Okay, well hurry because I miss you so much…You're still my best friend, aren't you?"
I was worried that we weren't as close as before. I can't handle it if he wasn't my over-protective brotherly best friend anymore. I'm an only child and his family sort of accepted me as their child. His sisters were too old for me, but he was around my age so we became close very fast. We practically lived in each other's houses. He always took care of me and helped me. It broke me to move down south. I had tried to contact him without luck.
I panicked when I didn't hear an answer from him, but he finally spoke.
"Of course I am, as long as you are still mine," he said quietly.
I blew out the air I was holding. "Yes I am," I said just a quietly back.
"Okay, I'm coming. Good-bye Emma."
"I'll be waiting. Good-bye Jacob. See you soon." I said as I heard him put down the phone.
Now what do I do to keep me busy until he comes…maybe he'll be hungry when he comes. I'll cook something up.
I was almost done cooking dinner when I heard a knock as loud as thunder on the door. Why don't you break my door while you're at it Jacob. He hasn't changed much, has he?
"Is that you Jacob," I asked.
"Yea, it's me" I heard him say with a hint of nervousness behind it.
I slowly opened the door to see I was wrong. He has changed A LOT! My small 5'4" figure barely came up to his shoulders. He was tall and muscular. I wouldn't have recognized him if it wasn't for his eyes because when I looked at his eyes I could still see the little 6 year-old that was my best friend.
He just looked at me. I probably looked just as different as him because the look in his eyes was pure shock. I was about to speak when he surprised me by giving me a hug and when I say hug I mean BEAR hug. I think I heard a few bones crack.
"C...c…can't… breathe, Jake"
"Oh sorry," he said apologetically.
"I've missed you so much Emma."
"Me too, where have you been? Why didn't you try contacting me? Did you still live in La Push? What are you doing in Texas?" I said all at once.
"Whoa, hold on Emma, can I at least come in before you interrogate me?" He replied smiling. I notice as soon as it reached his eyes it vanished. I could see the pain he was feeling, but I couldn't understand why.
"Sorry, I was so excited to see you, I forgot my manners…come in."
"You're still that little 4 year-old Emma," he said laughing. I punched him on the arm only to receive pain as if I had hit the wall.
"OUCH!" I yelled.
"EMMA, Are you ok?!" he asked concerned.
"I'm fine," I flexed my fingers back and forth. "See nothing broken…It's nice to know you're still the caring brother type."
"It's not my fault you punch me," he said smirking
"It's not my fault you're as hard as the wall," she replied while rub my knuckles.
He just started laughing. I tried to glare at him, but ended laughing, too. It was great to have him back.
"So you're hungry…I made dinner."
"Now that I think about it, it feels like I haven't eaten for days…I'm starving."
I'm glad I made a lot of food because boy, Jake was hungry. He helped me with the dishes and then we just sat on the couch catching up all those years, and I finally had most of my questions answered. There was one nagging me, but I was afraid to ask him. I finally gathered enough courage to ask him about the pain I saw earlier in his eyes.
"Jake you don't have to tell me if you don't want to…I can understand," I said, not wanting him to do something that may cause him pain. But I really wanted to know for two reasons: I wanted to see if my suspicions were correct, if Mrs. Meyer's book is true, if my best friend Jacob was the Jacob that loved Bella and I also wanted to know just so I can comfort him.
He looked hesitant but spoke, "I don't want any secrets between us. I need someone that I can tell everything to without that person running away from me."
"You can trust me. I would never run away from you Jake, I promise."
"Don't make a promise before you hear it because you may want to break after I'm done telling you." He said sadly.
"Jake I would never do that. How can you think I would? Please tell me I can't stand you feeling this way."
With that he told me his story, and even though I knew the story already it was 10 times sadder hearing it from Jacob and seeing as he said each word the pain around him increased. It was all true…everything that Mrs. Meyer wrote…up to the tinniest detail. He didn't, or I should say couldn't tell me about him being a werewolf, but gave me a hint by saying all the legends we heard as little kids are true.
"Oh my god, Jake I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel…you told me all your secrets I think I should tell you mine." He looked up at me confused. I told him about my powers…about how I got them, but I didn't tell him that the book was Bella's story. Something stopped me from telling him. I knew it wasn't the time and I wasn't the person to tell him. I just had to wait because I could see Jacob was going to be the happiest person in the world soon…very soon
Something I hadn't thought about suddenly popped into my head. Jake had said Leah is a werewolf…could that mean that I was at risk of becoming a werewolf….?
We hope it was everything you thought is would be. Thank you for reading, now you know the next part. Please Reivew.
