It was the next day, I stood next to my car, my 1969 Dark Grey Chevelle 1969, just letting everything soak in. My older sister was coming home. I see my dad's cop car pull up. And there she was.

" Hey sis," I said as she was carrying a cactus, she smiled at me, then let her face fall back into a frown.

" Been a long time hasn't it?" Bella said as I nodded, she looked me up and down.

" You filled out." She said as I blushed a bit, but chuckled at her.

" I guess I did," I replied as Dad, Bella and I went inside. I lead Bella up the stairs, my room was across from hers.

" We helped make your room more mature as I like to call it," Dad said as Bella nodded to him, she placed her cactus on the desk. I heard a honk and I looked outside to see Billy and Jacob, so I head downstairs and go outside.

" Hey, Jacob," I said as he lifted me into his arms.

" You gonna be ok after last night?" Jacob whispered in my ear, I murmured and he set me down, I stared into his eyes as he smiled.

" Bella, you remember Billy Black." I heard Dad's voice behind me, I turned to see Dad with Bella by his side.

" Glad you're finally here," Billy said as Bella nodded to him.

" Hey Bella, I'm Jacob. We made mud pies together when we were little kids." Jacob said as Bella nodded to him, I felt the tiny pull towards Jacob increase a tiny bit.

"Yeah... I think I remember..." Bella stammered a little. I see Dad and Billy play fighting, just smiling.

" Are they always like this?" My sister asked as I turned to her, nodding my head.

" Every single time they see each other," I said as Jacob smiled at me out of the corner of my eyes.

" So...are you two?" Bella asked as I looked at Jacob.

" Oh...No, we aren't together," I said as Jacob chuckled.

" Just best friends." Jacob replied to her, I felt his hand skim past mine, I looked at him and just smiled. I heard a tap on the truck next to us. Dad is smiling at this.

" So what do you think of your homecoming gift?" Dad asked Bella, the expression I could see upon her face was fake, but she made it seem real.

"No way. The truck is for me?" She asked as she started to smile.

" Just bought it off Billy, here." Dad told her as I nodded.

" I rebuilt the engine and -" Jacob tells her, but she smiles.

" It's perfect!" She tells him, I smiled for her. I saw her actually smile. I get in Bella's new truck as Jacob follows me.

" Okay, so you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift, but -" Jacob instructs her as I saw the keys in his hand. I hand them over to Bella.

" Maybe I can give you a ride to school." Bella said to us.

" I already have a car Bells." I said with a grin.

" I go to school on the reservation," Jacob said as I smiled.

" Which sucks more or less since I can't see him all the time." I said as Jacob chuckled.

" Too bad. It would've been nice to know at least one person. Being as I only know you and my sister." Bella said as I smiled. I get out of the car.

" Hey Jake, think you could come inside with me?" I asked as he nods. I lead him inside and head up the stairs. With him right behind me. I opened the door to my room and walked over to the bed.

" You doing ok?" Jacob asked as I sighed, he sat right next to me.

" I haven't been sleeping all too well." I said as he looked at me slightly concerned.

" It is..you know? The dream?" Jacob asked as I huffed a little bit.

" Yeah, I can't describe how it makes me feel when I wake." I told him. he looked a little more concerned but nodded.

" You think you could stay here? At least till I fall asleep, I got school tomorrow." I asked of him, he nodded. I got under the covers and laid my head upon the pillow.

" Thanks, Jake, I don't know what I would do without you." I said as I felt sleep take over.

The forest once again surrounded me, the light of the moon shown upon me. I see in the clearing the shroud of trees, but I see the tuffs of russet fur and the eyes. Those eyes, so human yet animal. It's heavy breathing loud and clear, yet rugged at the same time. I felt safe, but a growl behind me made me turn.

I awoke placing my hand over my chest. Trying to calm my heartbeat. I turned to see it was early morning, so I got dressed and went downstairs.

" Sleep well?" Bella asked as I turned the corner into the kitchen.

" More or less." I replied to her. She looked confused, but I gave her a look to tell her, let sleeping dogs lie.

" I'm going to school, see you there." I said as I grabbed my keys. I went outside as I pulled my jacket on. Getting into the car was slow as my back slightly acted up.

" It'll be ok." I told myself. I then proceeded to drive to school, as I got there I parked. I got out of the car and went inside.

" Hey Jace." Eric's voice drew me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and smiled.

" Hey." I replied as I got to my locker.

" So your sister is here." He said as I smiled.

" Yeah, its gonna take some time to adjust, but it'll be ok," I said as I grabbed my study book and shut the locker. I felt eyes on me, I looked to see one of the Cullens looking at me. I believed it was Jasper.

" Jace?" Eric's voice drew me out, I focused back.

" Sorry, got distracted," I replied to Eric.

" I still see that." Eric said as I chuckled. I went to my English class, the class was all nothing, but I got the assignment done. School the rest of the day was bland. After school ended, I went to my car, my phone rang, I answered it.

" Hey." I said as I smiled as I heard Jacob's chuckle on the other side.

" Any homework?" he asked as I started up my car.

" None. I'll be over after I check in with Charlie." I said as I smiled.

" Alright see you then." Jacob told me, I hung up. Then started to head home. I see the house and head inside.

" Hey Dad?" I asked as I see him looking over some files.

" I'm heading over for the barbeque," I told him, he smiled and nodded. I went upstairs and got changed. Then I left for the barbeque.
