YES I KNOW! This chapter is very short but I promise (like I always do) that the next one will be the best ever! I have a good idea! (ONE OF MANY) for Ness and Jacob. So please R&R

PREVIOUSLY ON FOREVER YOUNG:

He looked at me with sad, sympathetic eyes and the suddenly began screaming while clutching his neck as if he had just seen a ghost.

"What is it? Jake?" I said trying to settle him down, "What are you feeling?"

"FIRE!" he shrieked, "Stop the burning! I'm on fire!"

Oh no, not the venom.


"Oh God! Carlisle!" I screamed. Grandpa was by my side in a second.

"It is the venom. There is too much for him to take," he whispered while looking at the wound on his neck, "You have to take it out."

"I will take it out, she's not strong enough," Mum whispered from behind us. She pushed me out of the way and touched the blood on Jacob's neck, "Let me do it. If she makes a mistake he will die."

"No, Ness is more attached than you are. She won't kill him. You need to act fast!"

"More attached? I'm more attached!" she screamed with piercing eyes.

"No mum. I have to do this." Around us the fighting had stopped and evidently we had won but it didn't make me happy. A thousand thoughts were running through my head. Why was mum being so territorial with Jacob? More attached? Was she still in Love with him? Would he live?

I pushed her out of the way and took hold on Jacob's head and neck and then I plunged my mouth into the bite. I first tasted a sweet liquid but is I sucked and it flowed into my mouth it turned almost spicy, burning my oesophagus as it went down. I kept sucking, wondering when Jacob's blood would come through gradually. But it didn't. It felt like a lifetime, my throat becoming sore with the venom until finally it seemed like a hint of detergent tasting liquid came through. However, the venom was still there covering the taste. I sucked harder with new enthusiasm. He was going to be alright! I kept sucking until finally it seemed as though detergent or soap was filling my mouth and I pulled away.

"I can smell the venom is gone," Grandpa Carlisle said. I smiled and someone hoorayed but Grandpa didn't seem happy. "He should be retaining consciousness by now."

"Well he has lost a lot of blood," I said.

"She probably did something wrong," Mum whispered and dad shot her a disbelieving look. Had I killed him?

"No she was perfect. He has too many injuries to fully heal."

"What? So he's going to die?"

Grandpa didn't answer me. He looked at dad who nodded and then came to give me a tight squeeze.

"Honey, I'm sorry."

"No! No! He can't... He can't die daddy!"

"Honey..."

"No!" I said pulling off dad, "Give him some venom!"

"It won't work. The venom will just multiply and kill him faster."

"Even if it's just a little bit?" Dad asked.

"Yes."

"What if it's not as strong? My venom is weaker than all of you because I'm only half a vampire. Maybe it will heal and then he can fight it off?"

"Maybe..." Grandpa Carlisle said, "Nessie you need to bite into here," he lifted up Jacob's shirt showing a large scab like wound, "And release your venom. Can you do that?"

"Yes." I gulped. Once more I lowered my head to Jake's torso and plunged my mouth into the wound. I felt my venom slide up my throat into my mouth and through my teeth. I released it into the wound and felt Jacob's body snap up in pain. I pulled away immediately.

"Argh!" he shrieked, "I thought you said you would get rid of it! Why did it move?"

I touched his hand showing him the memory of what just happened. He smiled slightly and then settled back down. Occasionally his body would jolt because of the pain.

"So what now?" I asked.

"Hospital."

Italian Hospitals are tragic.

After twenty minutes of trying to explain to a doctor that Jacob's injuries did require immediate help they finally did some tests and sewed up some things before explaining that he just needed some rest. However this did not stop us from visiting him. Well the family visited him, I just constantly stayed with him.

"So what now?" I asked dad.

"What do you mean?"

"When we get home what happens?"

"We have decided to move. To the next town. And Jacob is coming with us."

"Really? Thanks dad!"

"And we have decided it is time for you to go to school."

"Like high school?" I asked and he nodded with a smile. The whole family was waiting for my response including Jacob. "Wow. Umm... I'm kind of nervous. What grade would I be in?"

"Well by the time you enrol you would have grown a bit. So you will either be a senior with me, your mum, Alice and Jasper or you will be a junior by yourself."

"And Jacob?"

"A senior. But you have to pretend that you don't know him."

"Okay."

I sat down again to absorb all this information. I was really excited but a bit nervous too. Jacob coughed.

"Umm is it okay if talk to Ness? Alone?"

Everyone looked around at me and I blushed ferociously as they filed out whispering and giggling, all except mum who look a little hurt as she went out. Maybe she was jealous?

"So Ness there was something I wanted to say... well really ask." He sounded nervous as he twisted his hands around.

"Shoot." Now I was nervous and resulted in my one word statements. I prayed I wouldn't faint again.

"Well... considering all that has really happened... it made me realise a few things. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

This time I dared to look into his eyes and didn't find myself fainting.

"Will you marry me?"

Oh.


SO DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD SAY YES OR NO? R&R
