Izzy had always given nicknames to the people she cared about. After that afternoon, Ally was included in that small group; therefore she would no longer be Ally, she'd be Lala. Of course it was a nickname Lala claimed only Izzy would have the privilege to use. Izzy reminded her that was only till the guys heard it, something Lala was ok with cause she claimed it would be her LaPush name. From that moment on, Ally was no more, in came Lala.

Mark's car might've been bigger than their brother's, but it still wasn't made to fit three guys over six feet tall. With Izzy driving, and Jake riding shotgun, Lala was sandwiched in the back between Quil and Embry. She was practically sitting on top of them, a leg on each of theirs but Izzy was sure they didn't mind in the least.

The 2 hour ride over went by pretty fast. When they weren't dancing and belting out songs at the top of their lungs, Izzy and Lala were discussing The Vampire Diaries, a series they were reading, and debated which vampire was hotter, Stephan or Damon Salvatore. Lala argued Stephan being compassionate and caring made him the better choice, while Izzy was imminent Damon was not only physically hotter but was a bad boy with a good heart deep down. She also laughed pointing out no girl could resist a bad boy, the one thing Lala agreed on. They guys found their discussion funny and amusing, they thought the girls were crazy.

Restaurants began to be discussed as they reached city limits. They guys quickly suggested the places they usually hit, which of course consisted of burger and pizza joints, but the girls weren't having any of that and insisted they wanted 'food, food'. With a few calls they were in a fancy Mexican restaurant within minutes.

The restaurant was authentically Mexican, most waiters spoke only Spanish, or broken English, and the décor and setting was pretty fancy. By the looks of things, they guys had never been in such a place. Since everyone was equally clueless in Spanish, Izzy had to take over. They were given a large both, were they sat, Jake on one end, Izzy, Embry, Lala, and Quil on the other end. Izzy asked the waiter what the house specialty was, the nacho supreme was the 'it' appetizer and the house best was the fajita platter. For an appetizer she ordered a double order of nachos, 3 non-alcoholic beers for the guys and strawberry margaritas for the girls. The group stared and smiled as they guy took off without handing them menus.

A couple of minutes later, same waiter showed up with the goods. He cleared the table and placed the enormous helping of nachos in the middle of the table, which of course unlike the chips and cheese you get at the movies, these nachos were handmade chips, different types of cheeses, grilled steak, beans, sour cream, guacamole and spices, it looked delicious. He handed the margaritas to the girls and gave a beer to each guy. Izz began to sip on her drink but the rest stared at her. She laughed.

"Non-alcoholic" she stated "I'm not that slick"

"Margarita?" Lala asked, licking the end of the umbrella

"Totally yummy" Izzy nodded "I would've gotten you guys some too" she smiled at the guys "But I know it's the guy thing to do to have a beer with nachos, so there you go. D says this brand of non-alcoholic taste just like the real thing"

Jake had mentioned Billy was not like most dads, he was pretty cool and trusted Jake a lot more than most dads usually did. He didn't mind the guys having a beer or two while watching a ball game or having a steak, of course that was when Charlie wasn't around, family or not he was still a cop. Izzy had brothers and knew the only thing that hit the spot for them with nachos was a beer, they guys agreed.

With nachos and drinks gone, they had a few minutes to talk before the main course arrived. They asked each other about school.

"So you guys have the same friends at school?" Jake casually asked Lala, or so it seemed "Like Chris?"

"Yeah" Lala smiled "We hang out with the same crowd. Chris is a cool friend"

Izzy smiled noticing Lala didn't mention he was Chase (her boyfriend)'s best friend.

"So you have more girlfriends?" Quil beamed with excitement

"Sorry to disappoint" Izzy shook her head "Lala and I are the only girls in the crowd"

"Except for Mandy" Lala pointed out "But she only hangs out sometimes"

"Yeah and she only talks to Mark" Izzy laughed

"So you really are more comfortable with guys, ha?" Embry smiled at Izzy

"Always have been" Izzy gave him a cheesy smile

"That's cause girls are jealous of her" Lala rolled her eyes "She attracts all the hotties at school"

"Is that right?" Jake cocked his brow

"Two new hotties in school are her brothers" Lala stated "Two all time hotties in junior class are cool friends with her, one of them being Chris, who drools over her" Izzy felt Jake's body stiffen and deep inside she wanted to smile. Is he jealous? "Senior boys are making moves" Lala smiled and Izzy rolled her eyes remembering the Mike incident "And the two most coveted hotties in school, the Cullens, have silent jokes going on with her"

Jake stared at Izzy, who shook her head, trying to get him to dismiss the info Lala had just given him. Luckily the waiters showed up with all the food. The table was cleared then filled with bowls of rice, beans, salsa, guacamole and sour cream, stacks of tortillas and an enormous hot plate filled with steaming fajitas, a third chicken, a third steak and a third shrimp.

They chatted while stuffing their faces, talking about anything other than guys from school, and discussed the different movie choices. Girls wanted to see Sky High but the guys weren't having it, the guys wanted to see Transporter 2, but the girls said that was a no go, so finally they agreed on Four Brothers.

They had dessert, an awesome tres leches cake, and cup of coffee, which given Izzy's low tolerance for caffeine was not a bright idea. Too full and hardly able to move, they were finally done with dinner. Lala and they guys insisted on splitting the bill, but Izzy slipped the waiter her debit card while they were doing the math. By the time they realized what she'd done it was too late to do anything about it.

As they walked out, Jake took her hand, interlocking their fingers, which took Izzy by surprise. Holding hands was not uncommon for them, they did it all the time, when they were alone, it was however the first time they did it in public. Lala and the guys were nice enough to pretend they didn't notice. They were at the door when Izzy remembered she hadn't tipped the waiter.

"I'll be right back" she said before running in.

She left a ten dollar bill on the table and ran back out. Lala had walked ahead with Quil and Embry but Jake was waiting for her a few steps from the door. He gave her one of his patented melt your heart smiles and held out his hand to her as she walked out. She smiled back and was about to take his hand when it happened.

"Well look who's here!" boomed behind her "Never thought I would bump into my girlfriend tonight"

Izzy turned to see Chris with the hugest smile from ear to ear. If looks could kill, Jake's would've struck Chris dead at that moment. From the way his body tensed and his fist clenched, Izzy was afraid it wouldn't be a look killing Chris. She had to act fast. She did the only thing she could think of.

"Hey Chris" Izzy smiled, while walking to Jake.

Izzy took Jake's hand but being a guy, and a territorial one at that, Jake wrapped his arm around Izzy's waist, pulling her against his body while giving Chris a triumphant look of gloat.

"Oh! My bad" Chris smiled eying Jake "Didn't know you were on a date. I'm sorry" he apologized though it was obvious he wasn't "Wouldn't let Mike see you though" he laughed "He's gonna think you're a cheater"

"Like I care" Izzy chuckled "But I'm not the one who said you were my boyfriend. That was you"

"And it was funny as hell" Lala smiled as she showed up with Quil and Embry "But Izz never confirmed it. And it's not like anyone cares what Mike Newton thinks"

"Of course her partner in crime would be here too" Chris smiled "Sup, Ally"

Lala smiled. Quil and Embry looked confused but one look at Jake was enough for them to be on the defensive as well.

"Did you introduce?" Lala asked Izzy, who shook her head.

"Guys this is Chris, Chris this is Jake, Quil and Embry"

Of course, the greeting between the guys was nothing more than hesitant head nods.

"We're gonna be late for the movie" Lala stated "We should get going"

Izzy nodded with a smile and began to pull Jake away "See you Monday, Chris"

"For sure" Chris smiled in a way Izzy had to give him a 'stop it' look.

Jake didn't say anything but he wrapped both his arms around Izzy and rested his chin on her shoulder as they walked away like they were a loving couple. Sweet!

… ***** … ***** … ***** …

Jake had never had such feelings before. Chris brought out emotions in him that he couldn't explain. It wasn't even anger, it was possession, possession over Izz. Even with all the feeling he had for Bells, and all the anger and hatred he had for Edward, seeing them together pissed him off, but there was no possession involved. He might not want to admit it, but everything inside him claimed Izz as his. Then why can't you commit already?

They walked away, his arms wrapped around her, like he wanted to make sure no one took her away, rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered "Boyfriend, ha?"

Izzy laughed softly. "Mike hit on me, Lala told him I was taken, Mike asked by who, Chris showed up and said by me, Mike ran off, end of story"

"Hmm" he smirked "Let's see what we can about making Chris runoff"

Izz smiled him a bit surprised. He smiled though he didn't look at her, she shook her head.

There was a slight moment when they thought there was an issue at the movies. Four Brothers, the movie they had agreed on, was rated R and none of them where old enough to buy the tickets.

"Aw, man! We're gonna have to pick another movie" Embry stated

"Why?" Jake, Izz and Lala (Ally, who Izz insisted was not to be called that anymore) chorused

"Movie's rated R" Quil answered

Jake nodded but Izz and Lala gave them a 'so?' look

"Unless one of you has a fake id" Jake laughed "We can't buy tickets"

Izz and Lala turned to the booth where a short skinny kid in his early teens stood.

"It's a guy at the booth" Lala shrugged.

Izz nodded and the guys looked at them without a clue as to what they were talking about. The girls laughed and rolled their eyes, finding their ignorance amusing.

"We'll get the tickets" Izz smiled

They guys were shooed away to stand away from view while the girls went to work on the poor unsuspected ticket vendor. The kid didn't stand a chance. With a few smiles and hair flips, they had the poor kid drooling and handing out tickets like they were candy. Tickets in hand, the girls gave the guy and flirtatious smile and little wink and walked away. Kid almost passed out. Jake, Quil and Embry shook their heads in amusement as the girls walked up, fanning themselves with the tickets, smile from ear to ear.

Once inside, the group sat in the same order they had at the restaurant, Jake, Izz, Embry, Lala then Quil. The movie was great, action for the guys, drama for the girls and plenty of funny moments for both. Jake and Izz held hands the entire show and though they didn't make out, he glanced at her plenty of times and was touched to see her crying at certain points. She might be a tough little cookie but deep down she was very sensitive. Lala wasn't far behind, even though she tried to hide it, her red eyes gave her away.

When it came time to go home, Izz said that anyone who valued their live should never, EVER, allow Lala to drive, which oddly enough the girl just laughed and didn't bother to deny it. Embry was the only other person with a license, without a word, Izz tossed the keys his way. Since it was obvious he had no play with Lala and they were just gonna be friends, Quil insisted on riding shotgun. He was pissed when Izz and Lala had Jake rest his legs on top of theirs so he wouldn't be scrunched up in the back. Sucker!

Between songs, dances and vampire hotness discussions, someone came up with the bright idea of going to first beach and waiting for sunrise. Izz made a quick stop at her house, where the girls changed into warm clothes and told Mary what they were doing. It surprised the guys that Izz told her mom what they were really up to, but it surprised them even more that Mary was ok with her daughter spending the night at the beach with three guys. It was obvious there was a lot of trust in that relationship, which in a way was a lot like the relationship he had with his dad.

The plan was to drop off the car at Jake's house and walk to first beach, which was only a few blocks away from there. That plan was ruined when they arrived and found Quil Sr. waiting for not only Quil but Embry as well. Quil Sr. just happened to be hanging out with Billy and time got away from them, time in which Embry's mom called. Apparently his curfew was midnight and it was well past that. The look on Quil and Embry's faces as they were dragged away was hilarious.

"And then there was three" Lala laughed.

Jake's dad didn't have a problem with them hanging out to wait for sunrise, but didn't like the idea of them doing so at first beach. Once again plans were changed and they ended up hanging out in Jake's room till dawn, playing 'would you rather' and talking about everything and anything. At dawn, as his dad headed out to fish with Charlie and Harry, Jake, Izz and Lala climbed to the roof and watched the night turn into day.

It's always raining in LaPush; it wasn't a shocker that it would rain while they were in the roof. All three of them ended up soaking wet. It was too early for the girls to head home and they couldn't hang out wet so Jake lent them the only two clean t-shirts he had left, which fit them like dresses, and tossed their wet clothes in the drier, along with a load of laundry cause Billy hadn't done the laundry and the only clothes Jake had left were a pair of basketball shorts, which was the only thing he was wearing.

Even though his dad was not around and wouldn't be for the rest of the day, the girls weren't comfortable walking around the house half-naked, as they called it. With cups of hot cocoa and a box of Hostess powdered donuts, they headed to Jake's room and got comfortable, as much as they could in his small bed. After a quick breakfast, they got cozy to watch a movie. About halfway though 'American History X' the buzzer to the dryer went off but the girls didn't wanna move till the movie was over.

Lala was a cool buddy, she had a boyfriend and was Izz's girl, there was nothing going on between them, reason why she was comfortable with Jake and he with her. The three of them were huddled on the bed, making sure they fit and the blanket covered them. Jake was in the middle, an arm around each girl, relaxed in a friendly way around Lala, and comfy around Izz, his head on hers.

It was precisely in that position that they were found in when Quil and Embry walked announced into his house and barged into his room without knocking. The girls jumped a bit and got closer to Jake, which made the guy's reaction even funnier, the look on their faces was priceless. Embry stood speechless, mouth as wide as his eyes. Quil on the other hand went from shock to indignation.

"Nah man!" he said throwing his arms in the air "Nah man, no!"

"What the hell!" Jake growled "You don't just walk in on someone"

"Yeah, man" Lala added "Private moment here"

"Why do you look like that?" Quil asked eyeing Jake had no shirt on and the girls were wearing his.

"It's called puberty, Quil" Izz smiled

"Did someone sleep through sex ed.?" Lala teased "In a nutshell, bodies change…"

"You know what I mean?" he argued frantically

Jake laughed as the girls had a laugh at Quil's expense. Embry was still in state of shock.

"I think it's time to get our clothes" Izz said tossing the blanket aside.

Quil nearly had a heart attack when he got a better view of what was going on under the covers.

"You didn't?" Quil narrowed his gaze "Nah, you couldn't have"

"Couldn't what, dumbass?" Jake snapped

"Hey!" Izz smirked "What happens between the sheets stays between the sheets"

Quil mumbled on and on about something and Embry continued in shock, as the girls got off the bed.

"You're gonna go?" Jake asked Izz

"We're gonna get dressed first" Lala laughed "But yeah, we should get going"

"Yeah" Izz nodded "I gotta get home before Ma goes off to work"

Izz and Lala shared a look that said a lot of things and they smiled.

"I'll be coming around" Lala smiled as she hugged Jake "Cause we're definitely doing this again"

"For sure" Jake answered "Last night was cool"

"Oh last night was awesome" Izz smiled she kissed Jake's cheek.

"It was incredible" Lala added with a devious smile

"I didn't know it was that good" Jake chuckled

"You have no idea how good it was" Lala bit her lip

"Best I ever had" Izz wiggled her brows

"We ever had" Lala added with her little smile

"I'm glad it was" Jake answered a bit confused.

"Life is so unfair!" Quil growled as he stormed out of the house yelling a lot more things they couldn't make out.

Embry tried to do his best at a smile but ended up looking like he had to sneeze, then turned around and stumbled off after Quil. Izz and Lala burst out in uncontrollable laughter and Jake couldn't be more confused. These girls are so crazy!
