~Previously~

".....Nessie.....I....I can't..." he stuttered and my head fell. "at least not yet. I am going to make sure it's ok with your parent's first." I wondered why everybody in my life hid things from me, i was longing for someone to tell me the truth all the time. I was hopeing for that one person to be Jacob.

He lifted my head with his fingers and said "i'm sorry just not yet."

We arrived and I planned my next atemped to get what he was hiding out in the open.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I walked along the same riverbank i had walked a million and one times before. Ever since i was old enough to walk Jacob had taken me here. We had our usual picnic's and swim. But this time was different, something about being near him made the hair on my arm stand on end. I didn't know whether or not i could handle this situation.

"Nessie?" he called from behind me.

I turned around to a shirtless Jacob, my Jacob.

"you brought your bathing suit right?" he asked.

"yes, i haven't forgoten it." i smirked.

He then cannonballed into the river waiting for me to join him. I threw my shirt off, and then my shorts. I had forgotten to wear my one piece, and was in my favorite bikini. I don't think it was very appropriate for my age though. His eyes went wide to the sight he apperently liked. Trying very hard not to show it he turned his head to the side until i got into the water. I slipped in and his head turned back to me. I smiled and his eyes twinkled with delight.

"Did I ever tell you that you look amazing in the water?" From the look on his face it looked like he immidiately regreted saying that out loud.

I laughed.

"No you haven't, but i'm glad you just did." I swam over to him.

I looked into his eyes and a flood of emotions entered my mind body and soul. As well as it did gazed at each other and from that moment i new three things were certain. Jacob was my best friend. There were some things my whole family was hiding from me. I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

"Nessie..I..I" Jacob started to say until he was interupted by Leah and Seth jumping into the water near us.

"Hey Jake!" Seth said "Nessie" I waved, Jake looked irritated.

"I told you guys!" Jacob said.

"yeah you told us, but it basically went in one ear and out the other." Leah said.

He rolled his eyes. And bent towards me.

"I'm sorry, I told them to stay away from here." he said.

"That's ok, I don't mind." i said reassuring him.

"you're sure?" he asked again.

"yeah, positive." and i smiled.

~1 hour later~

We were done with dinner and our swim. Leah and Seth decided to stay because Jacob wouldn't do anything about it while I was here. They normally take me with him to their advantage. Back when I was still in my mom's stomach eating her insides away, putting my dad through so much pain and agony and having Jacob suffer along as well, Leah and Seth and Jacob had been a pack themselves. When I was born he was going to leave, Leah and Jacob were going to run to where they belonged. Seth didn't agree with any of it because they were going to leave him with Sue, their mom. I admit I was abit jealous when Jake had told me he was going to run away with Leah. I know he didn't love her, he barely liked her before I was born. They just now started to not rip eachother to shreds.

I was deep in thought when I heard Seth and Leah Laughing. I looked up and found Leah and Seth wresteling over the last slice of pie. Jacob was looking at them as well. He had a big bright smile planted on his face, i took that into consideration and grabbed my fork, stabbed the piece of pie and ate it. All three of them looked at me and Jake started laughing, after awhile so did Leah and Seth.

"You're going to pay for that!" Leah yelled.

"The hell I will!" Seth shouted back.

"Hey guys! Chill out!" Jake said calmly.

I looked at him and he looked at me.

"you ready?" he said.

The sun was setting and it was going to be dark soon. I didn't want this to end but I knew it had too.

I yawned involunterly and he chuckled.

"I take that as a yes." he said more of a statement than a question.

"yeah, kinda." I said.

"Alright i'll take you home." he said.
