"Jake! If you do not put me down right this instant, I swear!" I yelled at the back of Jacob.

Not only did I look like crap, not only did I just wake, and not only was I being carried upside down through my best friend's fiancé's house, but I also didn't know where on earth I was going and I could heard rain outside. And now that I think of it, I can also feel the rain on Jake's back. Great, so you can add wet to the list.

"What are you going to do? Beat me up?" he asked with a laugh. "We already know you can't give me the silent treatment, you've tried that to many times before."

"I don't know." I said hitting his back one more time, "Can you just put me down? Please?"

"Fine, but only because I love you," he said as I was flipped over onto the couch.

My landing was, from my point of view at least, the most ungraceful thing I had ever done.

"Thank you," I said with a small amount of sarcasm. "Why exactly did I get a wake up call this morning?"

"Why not?" he asked with a smirk on his face, "Can I not just randomly come wake you up and carry you around the house?"

"Umm, no. You can't. Sorry," I said as Emily walked in the front door and waved to both Jake and me.

It wasn't too uncommon for Jake to randomly show up here before we went on some wild adventure; one in which usually rain and my camera were involved. I had also become like another member of the Black house hold; I would often hang out with Jake around the house or in the garage, and when Jared and Paul would come over for business stuff, I would just go to the beach and make my way to Jake's house since it was a familiar path to me now.

"Aww, but that's no fun," he said with a pout on his face.

"Sorry, its Emily's rules," I said knowing I had a fifty-fifty chance of Emily agreeing with me; it all depended on what mood she was in, if she felt like harassing me or sticking on my side.

"But only on Thursdays and Mondays," she said with a smile as she put the small bag of food she had in her arms on the counter, "Anyone want a donut before the other guys show up at the smell of them?"

"I do!" Jake and I both shouted as we popped up off of the couch.

"Ladies first," Jake said as he politely let Emily and I grab out glazed donuts with chocolate glaze from the box.

"Anyone else want milk?" I said with the donut halfway in my mouth, while opening a cabinet to my right to grab a glass.

Both Jake and Em shook their heads as I grabbed a single glass. The fridge was well stocked which made my mission for a glass of milk more difficult then it normally would have been. I placed my donut a napkin next to the glass and then proceeded to rearrange the different drinks on the top shelf until I could slide the milk carton out of the fridge.

Once I poured myself a glass I took a seat next to Jake at the table while Emily finished putting away the last few food items that were in the bag.

"So what are you two going to do today?" Em asked from across the room.

"Well, once I woke up, on my own," I started, "I was going to go by the studio and turn in a portfolio and pick up an underwater camera, since one thing on the list is underwater."

"That will be fun. What about you Jake?" Emily asked, very much in a motherly like tone.

"I didn't really have anything planned. My car got to frustrating to work on, so I decided to head over here, but if Chey wants to we can go into town and then go to Lake Pleasant since that isn't to far away and you can test out the water shots there," he said, the second part more to me than to Emily.

"That sounds like fun. Its a nice lake, you would like it Chey, and it isn't supposed to rain today," Em said with a smile on her face as I finished off my donut.

"Well then, I guess that is our plan for today," I said as I finished what was left of my milk before rinsing out the cup and sticking it in the dishwasher.

"You'll like it down there. It isn't like the beaches, it is a lot more peaceful than the harsh waves," she said as she started rearranging the flowers on the dining room table.

"Yay," I said like a little kid as I glanced at the clock, I needed to get ready soon, "if you give me about fifteen minutes, I'll be ready to go."

"I guess I'll wait," Jake said with a smile as I made my way back to my room.

I dug into my chest of drawers in search of my black bikini. Once I found it I stripped out of my baggy pajamas and slipped into the swimsuit. Once I had the straps tied around my back and next I slipped on a pair of cut off denim short-shorts.

Once I was dressed I headed to the bathroom and did a quick routine of washing my face and brushing my teeth before I pulled my hair up into a wispy bun, knowing that once I got out in the wind, any attempt at a nice bun would be ruined. I grabbed my make-up bag before I headed back to my room.

I grabbed an old, worn, beige button up shirt and threw it on over my bikini top, tucking the bottom of the shirt in. I sat down on my bed and pulled out my foundation. Once my face had a smooth complexion, I added on some waterproof black eyeliner and mascara.

I grabbed a small tote bag out of my small closet and put my camera, phone, wallet, and a few other necessities into before I slipped on a pair cream colored converse.

"'Bout time you're ready," Jake said as he turned his head, hearing my footsteps coming down the hall.

"Oh hush," I said smacking him lightly on the arm.

"Play nice you two, or else…" Emily started before she stopped in thought.

"I love you," I said giving her a big hug, "See you later."

"Bye Chey, don't drown," she said hugging me back.

"I won't I promise," I said as I grabbed my hoodie off the back of the couch.

"See you later Emily," Jake said as he fallowed me out the front door.

"Some one is happy to be out of the house," Jake said as we climbed into his Rabbit.

"Its not my fault, I worked the past five days in a row and I haven't gotten to do anything besides go on my runs and an occasional walk when it isn't raining to much," I said, happy that today was a nice sunny day.

"I don't blame you. That's how I feel when school comes around." Jake said as he rolled the windows down. The breeze was cool but the heat that the sun gave off was a rare thing.

The conversation on the way to Forks was a light a breezy one, like the majority of my conversations with Jacob were. It always relaxed me; I never had to impress anyone when he was around. It was nice.

The radio was playing lightly as background music to our conversation, and when We The Kings started to play, my instincts kicked in and I turned up the radio and started to sing along. I could hear Jacob laughing quietly to himself as my voiced floated along with the sound blasting from the speakers.

Once the song had finished, I turned the volume back down letting our conversation start back up like it always did anytime there was an interruption.

The stop at the studio was a quick one before we were back in the car and headed down the highway to Lake Pleasant. The drive from Forks to the lake was only a twenty-minute drive and I was happy about that.

The sun had been shining the whole time and I was ready to get out of the car and get into the warm water. Once Jake had parked the car by the swimming dock, I opened my door and stretched my legs out.

"You ready to go swim?" Jake asked as I slipped off my shoes.

"Of course," I said as I stripped down to my bikini and grabbed a towel out of the backseat.

I grabbed my camera and linked my arm with Jake's as we headed over to the dock. There weren't a large amount of people here, but it wasn't vacant either. Considering it was still early-ish in the morning, I figured that not everyone had shown up yet who would be here today.

"You might want to go ahead and jump in with the camera now, before everyone gets here," Jake said.

"That's probably a good idea," I said even though I wasn't completely sure what all I would be able to find under the surface of the water.

I walked down the end of the doc and sat down, letting my feet dangle in the water. It wasn't to cold, but it wasn't exactly warm either.

I let Jake dive in first; seeing that the water came over his head I decided on just sliding into the water.

"Aww, no cannon ball?" Jake asked with a laugh.

"Not with this camera," I said, though the thing could probably endure a lot, in fact it looked like it already had.

"Its a water proof camera, I don't think the water will hurt it," he said, like I was a two year old who didn't understand that concept.

"Well, I kinda get that part, but it already looks like its going to fall apart, I don't want to be the one who has to pay to replace it," I said before I decided to dive beneath the surface.

I wasn't the world's best swimmer, but luckily the water wasn't to harsh on my eyes and the floor of the lake was filled with a ton of plant and animal life. I wasn't sure what half of the stuff was, but it looked interesting. I wouldn't call the lighting the best ever, but it gave everything I different tint through the camera lenses.

Unfortunatly, my lacking swimming abilities also included a lack of being able to hold my breath for long. I snapped a few shots before I had to resurface. When oxygen filled my lungs I wiped the water from my eyes to see a relaxed Jake floating on his back.

I smiled to myself, jealous of how peaceful or happy he always looked; most of the time I was, but when I was in high school I was never that way.

I took another deep breath before I dived back under the water, snapping away and the different animals and plants on the floor of the lake and the occasional fish that had been led astray to the shore.

Once I had photographed what felt like the entire lake floor in the area that I was in, I swam out a little more, but the majority of the lake looked the same.

"Now, its my time to relax," I said as I swam back to the dock.

I climbed up the algae covered latter, luckily not slipping off, and I headed to the car. Once the camera was dried off and back in its case, I headed back to the lake. Jake had floated closer to the edge of the dock, and if he hadn't moved a little ever few minutes I probably would have thought that he was asleep.

I felt like diving into the cold water, but it was so tempting to do cannon ball. I mean, Jake was right there, and he was the one who got on to me earlier for not doing one. I laughed to myself as I ran the last few feet of the dock and jumped into the water.

Once the water hit my skin the coolness washed the heat off of my body that the sun had been putting on.

I surfaced near Jake, who was no longer floating peacefully, but he had a surprised look on his face. Mission complete.

"You said I should have done a cannon ball," I said with a smile, before Jake forced me back under water.

When I surfaced, I coughed up the little bit of water that had made it's way into my throat.

"You ok?" Jake asked with a small laugh.

""Yea, I'm fine," I said with a smirk on my face before I pushed him back under and swam away to where I could touch the floor.

I was facing the sandy part of the lake when Jake popped up behind me. He wrapped his arms around me before we were both under water again.

"If I drown today, I don't think Emily is going to like you very much," I said as I surfaced after Jacob.

"I won't let you drown, don't worry," Jake said.

"Of course you won't," I said as my stomach warned me that it was getting hungry, "Did we bring any food?"

"Of course we did. Emily practically sent us with a three course meal," Jake said with a laugh as we made our way out of the water.

I grabbed my towel off of the dock and threw Jake's to him before I wrapped my own around my torso.

The sun was starting to head to the west as Jake grabbed a bag that I assumed Emily had gotten together while I had gotten ready.

We spread both of our towels out to make a make shift picnic blanket before we spread the food out. Jacob wasn't kidding when he had said that Emily had practically packed a three-course meal. We both had sandwiches, salads, chips, and an assortment of cookies and brownies for desert.

"I guess she is used to cooking for Sam, Jared, and Paul when they get off of work. They always eat so much and still seem to be hungry," I told him, wondering how Emily could cook so much and clean and still be sane.

Right now, however, I felt like I could eat as much as Sam and the guys do when they get off of work. I started off with my little house salad before I headed on to my sandwich and chips. Brownies were last on my list as my stomach was finally full.

Jacob had down all of his food faster that I had, and he already had his long legs stretched out as if he was tanning; like he needed to get any darker. Me on the other, I could defiantly some more color to my skin.

While I had been up here I had lost my Kasper appearance, but I was still on the pale side, especially if you compared me to almost anyone else on the reservation.

I laid perpendicular to Jake and rested my head on his stomach, it was much more comfortable than the rough sand.

The sky was a shade of purple as I heard my phone ring loudly next to my ear.

"Its Emily," Jake's husky voice rang in my ears as I took in our surroundings. We were still at the beach, and the purple in the sky was the normal kind like there was when there was a storm, but it was a peaceful one that faded to oranges and pink as the sun set.

I pressed the talk button as Jake handed me the phone, snapping back to reality.

"Hello," I said to who Jake had said was Emily.

"Hey, I hadn't heard from you. I just wanted to make sure you were still alive, since its almost nine," she said.

I glanced at my phone, not believing what she had said. Yep, it was eight fifty-two.

"Wow, we both fell asleep after we ate that massive meal you sent us," I told her, "But we will probably head back soon after I get some sunset shots."

"Ok, it doesn't matter when you come back. I was just checking in, so don't rush home for me," she said before we exchanged a few more words and hung up.

I was still tired even though I had slept for plenty of hours, but the sun still takes it's toll on me, even when I'm asleep.

"How long were wee asleep?" Jake asked as I put the phone down beside me and laid my head back down.

"More than a few hours," I said as I glanced around the beach area. From what I could see, most everyone was already gone, probably for dinner.

"We should probably head back soon then, before both of us get any more tired," Jake said as he slowly sat up, causing me to sit up as well.

"Yea, we probably should," I said as I stood up and rolled up my towel and picked up what was left from lunch.

Once Jake had his towel rolled up we both headed to the car. I slid into the passengers seat and threw our stuff into the backseat.

The ride home seemed to be a lot shorter than the ride there. It might have been because we didn't stop in Forks on the way home, or maybe it was because I dozed off and on, on the way home.

"Here we are," Jake said as he cut off the Rabbit's engine.

"Yay, home sweet home," I said with a smile as I opened the door.

The porch light was the only light that was on, as I grabbed my stuff.

"Well, I guess Em and Sam are already asleep." I said.

"Yea, I guess I'll see you soon then," Jake said as I gave him a hug; his warm skin heating up my cool body.

"Of course," I said with a smile before I headed inside the still, quiet house.
