There in the doorway was Billy in his wheel chair with a huge smile on his face. "Nana Hawkes, and is this Kayla?" he greeted in surprise. "All grown up Kayla" replied Nana and she hooked my arm and walked me towards the house. "Oh my goodness, look at you girl!" he called out looking at me. "Do you remember me?" he asked unsure. I noticed a tear in his eye. "No Uncle Billy, I don't" I said as I ran to him and hugged him. "Kayla all grown up, I remember you when you were a baby, how you and Jake used to play together, wow, you are a stunner girl" he said shaking his head.

"Oh where's my manners, come in ladies, come in" he said as he moved away from the doorway and letting us through.

I closed the door behind me as Nana and Uncle Billy were chatting away; I saw some photos of Jake and his sisters when they were small. Jake had also lost a parent, he lost his mother when he was just 9, both his parents were in a car accident which left Billy in a wheel chair and the death of Jake's mother. They were at a red traffic light when a car lost control and ploughed into their car head on. Jake and I were always close, more so after his mother passed away, Jake and I always hung out together. Later Embry and Quil joined our little gang. My father and Billy were best of friends and grew up together on the reservation.

"Uncle Billy, where's Jake?" I asked pulling myself away from the pictures on the wall. "Oh, he had some plans with some friends, so he won't be here tonight" he responded looking at my Nana strangely. "Oh, okay" I replied. Nana made her way to the kitchen where Billy directed her to the pot of famous spaghetti bolognaise he had made, she dished up for all of us. We sat around and chatted about my time in London, what I did there and how I have changed, my accent etc. "You have your mother's beauty, but your father's features and eyes" said Billy while we chatted. "Thanks" I laughed. "I can't believe how my little angel has changed, you were a little chubby when you were younger, I guess they do eventually grow up" he laughed as Nana chuckled at his comment. "How are you doing now my angel?" he asked being more serious. "I am coping the best I can Uncle Billy, but my Nana has been the best support" I replied. Nana caught the tightness in my voice and changed the subject, I silently thanked her.

We were having such a great time catching up, that the time went by so fast that there was a knock at the door, Paul and Jared entered. "Hiya everyone" they said. "Hi boys" replied Billy and Nana. "Hi" I responded. "Sam sent us to collect you ladies and take you home" stated Jared. "Wow is it that time already?" asked Nana. "I am afraid so Nana" replied Billy. "Thank you for such a lovely evening Uncle Billy" I said kissing him on the cheek as Paul watched me. "I miss that and it was a pleasure my girl, don't be a stranger, come and visit anytime you want" he responded, giving me a big hug. "Thank you Uncle Billy" I answered. We said our goodnights and left Billy's place.

Nana got into the car; Paul offered Jared the keys to drive the car suggesting that he would sit at the back and keep me company. He sat with his arm relaxed across the back seat, expectantly. Nana had already climbed in to the front seat; I looked at Paul then at Jared. "Jared do you even have your license?" I asked. "Well, no, not exactly" he stammered. I turned to look at Paul "Well then shouldn't you be driving Paul, seeing as you have your license and you are older?" He seemed to be very annoyed and was not very happy with that. "Humph"! He said as he got out from the back and got into the drivers seat. Jared and I got into the back; Jared just smiled, ten minutes later we were at home.

Jared offered to open the door for Nana and me. "Thank you boys" called Nana as she walked off as she walked into the house. "Thank you" I said as Jared walked me to the door and Paul who was still annoyed stayed in the car. "Kayla, um, can I ask you erm, would you like to go to the movies with me on Friday night?" he stammered. "Sure, why not, thanks for the invite Jared" I responded. "Well thanks for taking us home and goodnight" I said. "Goodnight Kayla" he replied, I turned and walked inside and closed the door.

Jared's POV:

I walked back car with a huge smile on my face; I was still shocked at how easily Kayla said yes to my invite to watch a movie. I walked back to the car; I can see Paul looks annoyed and angry. "What took you so long hey?" moaned Paul. "Sorry, I was just asking Kayla out to the movies on Friday" I responded as I got into the car. "Really, and how you gonna get there?" he sneered at me looking pleased with himself. "I…er…will find a way for us to get there" I stammered. Paul just laughed at me as he pulled away from Nana's house at a speed. We had to get back to Sam's place as we had a meeting.
