Chapter nine—Day with Jacob (and Friends)

"Cassie, I'm home!" Remus yelled, his voice echoing loudly throughout the large house. "Is Jacob here? His truck's out front."

Cassie and Jacob broke away with red faces. Jacob cleared his throat and let go of Cassie's waist, "Sorry."

Cassie unwrapped her arms from his neck and scooted away. "Yeah!" she called back, trying to keep her voice from cracking. "We're in the living room!"

Remus walked in carrying two grocery bags. His eyes darted from red face to red face with narrowed eyes. "Everything okay here?" he asked, his eyes starting to tinge gold around the edges.

"Yeah, I was just leaving," Jacob stammered standing quickly. "Bye, Cassie, Remus."

"Bye, Jacob," Cassie called after him.

Remus muttered a bitter goodbye. When he heard the door close, he raised his eyebrow at Cassie.

"Hi," she said simply, staring up at him innocently.

Remus' eyebrow crept higher, "What was that?"

"What was what?"

"What were you two doing?"

"Nothing," Cassie answered, standing and taking the bags from him and heading into the kitchen.

"I'm sure," Remus snorted, following her. "You know, you're so lucky I'm not Sirius, or you and Jacob would be dead."

Cassie snorted despite the pang in her chest. It still hurt to think about Sirius and just hearing his name was just adding onto the hole in her chest. She was still having the dream at times and had been secretly Silencing her door. She didn't want Remus to worry. She knew that Sirius being in a coma was just as hard on him as it was on her and she didn't want to add onto his burden.

"Remus, are you okay? You're eyes are still gold around the edges," she said.

Remus cleared his throat uncomfortably and looked away, "Full moon coming up."

Cassie rolled her eyes, "Remus, the full moon was two weeks ago. Come on. What's up."

Remus looked down with a red face, "It's hard. Knowing that you're growing up so fast. It seems just yesterday that I was bouncing you on my knee and you would giggle and pull my hair… And now you've got all this stuff on your shoulders and all I want to do is protect you. Seeing you with Jacob just keeps reminding me that you're becoming a young woman. And it scares me. I'm scared that your going to leave this old man here by himself."

Cassie smiled sadly, walked over, and wrapped her arms around him, "I'm still Cassie. Just Cassie. I always will be. I'm not leaving."

Remus smiled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close, "Thanks."


"I'm mad at you," Cassie said into the phone.

"Oh, really," Jacob chuckled. "Why?"

"You left me with Remus. You know he knows, don't you? He could tell just by our red faces."

"I'm sorry," he didn't sound sorry at all, "but I knew that he wouldn't kill you. He looked like he was going to flay me alive if I didn't get out of there."

"That's true," Cassie said, leaning back against the headboard of her bed. "But still, you should've stayed."

"I'll stay next time," Jacob laughed. "By the way, you are a really good kisser."

Cassie blushed and didn't say anything.

"You're blushing, aren't you?"

"Shut up!" Cassie laughed.

"So what're you doing?" Jacob asked.

"Talking to you."

"Ha, ha," Cassie could almost hear him roll his eyes. "Are you doing anything tomorrow?"

"Um… I know think so. Why?"

"Because I wanted to ask you if you'd come down to La Push tomorrow. Embry and Quil are dying to see you again."

"Hmm," Cassie leaned back against her headboard with a smile. "Is that the only reason you want me to come?"

"Wha—no!" he stammered. "I-I only—"

"God, Jake, I'm joking," she laughed. "What time should I be at your house?"

"Nope," he said. "I'll be at your house at eight."

"Damn, early much? You're lucky I'm an early riser."

Jacob chuckled, "Yeah, I guess I am."

Cassie's bedroom door opened and Remus stepped in. "Jacob, I've got to go," Cassie said.

"Okay," he said. "See you tomorrow.

"Tomorrow," Cassie agreed and shut the phone. Then she noticed Remus' raised eyebrow. "What?"

"Planning on going somewhere tomorrow?" he asked.

"Have you been listening to my whole conversation?" she groaned.

"No," he said. "I just heard when you said, 'What time should I be at your house?' and the pieces just kind of clicked into place."

Cassie rolled her eyes and sat her phone down on her bedside table, "Yes, I am going somewhere tomorrow. I'm going to Jacob's."

Remus' eyebrow crept up again, "Alone?"

Cassie shook her head, "Quil and Embry will be there."

Remus rolled his eyes, "That's comforting."

"Hey," Cassie said, glaring at him. "If you can't trust Quil or Embry or Jacob, then you can trust me. And if you can't trust me, then you and I have some issues that we need to work out."

Remus held up his hands in surrender, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just a protective old coot."

He sighed and sat down on her bed beside her, leaning against the headboard.

Cassie sighed too and rested her head against his shoulder, "And I'm just a teenager who's trying to actually be a teenager."

Remus wrapped an arm around her shoulder and rested his head atop hers, "I know, cub. I know."


"Hey! Cassie!" Quil yelled from Jacob's front porch. "Welcome back!"

"Hey, Quil," Cassie laughed. She nodded politely at Embry, "Hi, Embry."

Embry nodded back at her, giving her a small smile, "Hi, Cassie."

"So," Quil said, clapping his hands together. "Your first time back with us as Jacob's girlfriend!"

"Huh," Cassie said, raising an eyebrow up at Jacob, who stood beside her, grinning. "I don't exactly remember you asking me to be your girlfriend."

Jacob grinned down at her cheekily, "I didn't exactly have time to ask with your lips on mine."

Cassie smirked right back at him, "You didn't take the time to ask. You were to busy running with your tail tucked between your legs from Remus."

Jacob rolled his eyes as the others sniggered. "Well," he said. "Since I didn't get around to it yesterday… Cassie, will you be my girlfriend?"

Cassie grinned and kissed his cheek, "Yes, I will."

"AAAAAWWWWW!" Quil cried in an exaggerated way. He clapped his hands together again, "Now that we've got that over with, let's go have some fun! TO THE BEACH!"

Cassie yelped as both Jacob and Quil grabbed her arms and Embry grabbed her legs. They lifted her and started marching towards the beach.

"I can walk!" she laughed. "Let me down!"

"We will when we get into the beach," Jacob said.

"Oh, no," she said, catching on. "Oh, no, no, no!"

She struggled against them as they marched down toward the beach, but she was no match for their combined strength.

"NOOOO!" she cried, her voice ringing with mirth, as they approached the water. "DON'T YOU DARE!"

"I really hope you can swim!" Quil yelled as they chunked her into the water.

Quil, Embry, and Jacob all laughed as they watched Cassie disappear in the water, completely submerged.

"Ah, man, that was awesome!" Quil laughed as they waited for her to come back up.

But Cassie didn't some back up.

"Cassie?" Jacob called after thirty seconds, panic rising in his voice. "Cassie?"

They waited another ten seconds. Cassie still didn't come up. The three friends looked at each other and simultaneously plunged into the water.

Jacob looked around desperately under the water, but there was no sign of the dark haired girl. When the need for air became too much, he came back up, gasping and coughing.

"Any sign?" he called to Quil and Embry, who were also surfaced.

They both shook there heads.

"Keep—AAAGGGHH!" he yelled as two hands grabbed his shoulders and pushed him under the water.

He came back up, gasping and coughing, the hands still on his shoulders. "What the—?" he gasped. The sound of his best friends' hysterical laughter reached his ears.

"Now we're even," said a sly voice in his ear.

He turned and saw that Cassie was behind him with her hands on his shoulders. "Damn it, Cassie!" he gasped, pulling her close.

Cassie laughed, "You can't expect me not to get even. That just wouldn't be me."

Jacob rolled his eyes, "Let the games begin."


Cassie, Jacob, Quil, and Embry were all sitting on the beach, watching the sunset. They had gotten out of the water about an hour before and had gone back up to the house. Cassie had borrowed some of Jacob's older sister's clothes and the boys had just taken off their shirts. Cassie said beside Jacob, his arm around her. Embry sat beside her and Quil sat beside him.

Suddenly, Quil yawned and stretched, "Well, I guess I'm gonna go hit the hey. See you guys later!"

"Bye," the others said.

"Yeah," Embry said. "I think I'm gonna go too. I'm tired."

"Bye, Embry," Cassie said.

"Bye," Jacob said.

"Bye, Cassie, Jacob," Embry stood with Quil and they walked back towards their trucks.

"Did you have fun today?" Jacob said as they listened to Quil's and Embry's truck pull out of the drive.

Cassie smiled and nodded, "Yeah. I did. The highlight of my day was when Quil lunged at you to dunk you and you accidentally kicked him where it hurts."

Jacob laughed and leaned back into the sand, pulling Cassie down with him, "Yeah. That was funny. But the highlight of my day was watching you beat Quil at arm wrestling. Really brought down his ego by being beaten by a girl. Did you know that he was the arm wrestling champ?"

Cassie rolled her eyes and curled into his warm side. She said sarcastically, "Noooooo. He only said it fifteen thousand times."

Jacob laughed and kissed the crown of her head, "Well, all I can say is that today was great. Period."

Cassie looked up at him and gently brushed their lips together, "Yeah. It was."
