I felt horrible! Like, like, I was betraying everybody. It was daddy's birthday, and mom had a great day planned but something went absolutely totally wrong somehow! I don't have the faintest idea of what it could have been. One minute everything was fine, and the next, two of my favorite people were fighting over who knows what! I didn't want it to all come down to this; me betraying my family (on my father's birthday) for a reason I was not sure of (I think I made that clear) and hiding in the brush with my boyfriend (of about three years). For some reason, though, I stayed with him and did not argue. Then I noticed Emmett along the cliff above us, and of course, after a gust of wind carried our scent, he spotted us.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the mutt trying to take my niece away from her family. Tsk, tsk, tsk." Jake got up and I prepared myself for the fight that was surely about to happen. Jake didn't embrace my uncle, though. Instead he stalked like a dog behind a tree and changed back into his human form. After putting on the pants he always carried with him (for my sake I'm sure) he came out and said with the most painful expression on his face,

"You're ri…ri…right. It was wrong of me to take her from you guys. Tell Edward that I will stay away from his daughter- honestly!" he added after Emmett's skeptical scowl.

"Nooooooo!" I screamed. Although I felt bad about this, I knew what drove me to participate in such a stupid game was the fear of losing Jake, and nobody was about to take him from me now. Emmett didn't see me lunge at him. He was so strong, I knew I didn't have much of a chance, but I wasn't going down without a fight! I did better than I thought, getting In some good punches, though it was obvious to me later that he did not want to hurt his only niece, and that my punches didn't do much damage to him,

"Nessie, you're being stupid! Get off your uncle right now!" I didn't want to listen to him, but the way he said those words made me hesitate. Why was he so willing to give me up, when I got in a fight with my favorite uncle for him??!!! The hesitation was enough to enable him to yank me off of Emmett who, to my humiliation, was trying to suppress a laugh!

"Jake! What are you talking about?" I said. They looked at each other for a minute, and I thought that they would fight after all, but instead, they burst out laughing. That just was the last straw. I couldn't put my feelings where they belonged. My frustration with Emmett for turning on me, my humiliation of them BOTH laughing at my fighting, and the indescribable sorrow that swallowed up my heart that came with the realization that Jacob didn't love me as much as I thought. So I ran!

"Nessie! Come back!" it was Jake. Since when did he start caring about what the heck I did?

"No, mutt! You have done enough. I'll get her. She sure is BEING A TEENAGE GIRL!" he screamed the last words, as if I couldn't hear him already.

"At least I'll get over it! Your wife won't be that lucky though!" the wind was helping my temper, but I wasn't ready to give up the fight yet! I looked back, but Emmett didn't look like a teddy bear anymore. Aunt Rose said that he was her grisly bear, and I could see where that came from now! Jake was overreacting also, ruining yet another pair of pants by changing to chase me.

"Just leave me alone!" I yelled, and steered toward town. Jake would have to veer off, and Emmett couldn't use his powers there. I turned the corner and looked back to measure the distance they were from me, and I ran into a wall. Although I stumbled back, I did not fall down. Something had made Jake and Uncle Emmett stop in their tracks. I turned around to see what they were staring at; when I realized that the wall wasn't a wall at all- it was daddy.
