"Well Nessie," Jacob said while grabbing my hand. "It's settled, lets get going."

Jacob looked down at me with his big brown eyes. Something about them reminded me of stars, almost as if they were twinkling. Wow, he must really be excited.

Before I could say or do anything, I felt him pulling me through my empty house and out into the yard. His attempt to tare off my arm did not stop there because he ran full speed through the lush, green forest dragging me along behind him.

"Jake!" I yelped. "Can you please slow down? You're knocking me into trees."

Accepting my request, he slowed to a trot and finally stopped in a meadow between our houses.

"Come on Nessie we're almost there" Jake moaned as he jumped up and down like a little kid wanting a new toy.

"Why can't we just walk-?"

Whoosh. The ground and sky seemed to mix into a pool of green for a second or two. (Not that there was much difference, here in Forks everything was green.) Jake started to run faster than before and instead of being dragged, I was being carried firefighter style. Silhouettes of trees were blending as I bobbed up and down in his hold. This was unnecessary! Now I understand why mom closed her eyes when dad did this.

When we reached his cottage, he slowed down and carefully took me off his shoulder. I looked like a rag doll that has been drug through bushes. Leaves stuck out of my tangled hair and I had a rip in my top. Damn this was my favorite top. He placed me on the earth's floor and smiled like a goof ball at me.

"LAND!" I cried throwing myself into the dirt. This got a laugh out of him.

"It wasn't that bad was it?" he questioned looking concerned, then amused. He got down on his knees and looked me in the eyes, smiled, then started picking leaves out of my hair.

Rolling my eyes at his 'gesture of kindness', "I'll live, but you owe me." A smile tugged at my lips.

"Like what Nessie," Jacob asked as he helped me off the ground and into his house.

Jake's house looks like it has gotten smaller since my last visit. He looks out of place here, too big, too -Godzilla-ish. We both padded across the plush white carpet to his couch and flopped onto it, or he flopped onto it and I stood looking for a place to squeeze myself into.

In the past, his couch was not a problem but we have both grown and the couch has not. Jake saw what I was doing, so he laid horizontally and motioned for me to lay next to him.

"Is this why we rushed over so fast? To lay on your sofa?" I ignored his question and lay down beside him.

He immediately wrapped his strong arms around me, His side enveloping me. This feels weird but strangely right. He had never done it before. I let myself get lost in his sent, so delicious-

"What am I thinking? Jacob is a brother nothing more. I-I don't like him, do I? No that would be bad." I thought.

All traces of my anger from earlier vanished when he whispered my name into my hair. It was the most beautiful noise I had ever heard. "Yes" Jake nudged at my earlobe with his nose.

Chills shot through my body like electricity. He shouldn't have this kind of effect on me. I'm losing focus, I must not like him this way, and it's for my own good. I know he does not like me, but why would he do this.

"I have a surprise for tonight" he mumbled, his hand now in my hair playing with a curl.

His voice sounded heavenly. I wonder what has happened to Jacob. Now that I think of it, he had been acting weird ever since my parents left. Strange.

"Ok-okay Jake." was all I could get out of my mouth with out hyperventilating all over him. Looking up at his face I noticed something new. His eyes had flecks of gold in them. They were beautiful, so unlike the rest of the packs'. They all had brown eyes, but theirs were flat looking, just brown. His had dept and I felt myself slipping into them. I was at the point of no return. I realized right then my feelings for Jake had changed.

"Take a nap because you're not going to get any sleep tonight," he whispered. My heart skipped a beat. All I could do was nod a yes to him. I looked into his eyes one last time and closed my eyes. He sighed.
