Chapter 36

Our date was perfect and I didn't want it to end, but unfortunately it had to. We were in front of my house in Jakes car when he cut the engine.

"Jake, I had a great time tonight." I said. He smiled.

"That's all that matters then." He said looking into my eyes. I smiled softly.

"Do I have to go?" I asked. He chuckled.

"I'm afraid so, but I'll see you tomorrow okay?" He asked. I nodded and bit my lip. I wasn't going to see him until tomorrow. As if reading my mind, he bent down and softly kissed me on the lips. I locked my arms around his neck and kissed him back. His lips were soft yet it was a harder kiss than the one on the beach earlier. I guessed it was because it was a goodbye kiss until tomorrow. Tomorrow felt so far away. I pulled myself closer to him, which was kind of hard considering we were in the car. But he froze and pulled away.

"You should go inside," he whispered. My head spun from the kiss so I nodded, not trusting my voice. I opened my door but Jake caught my wrist.

"Wait," he said. I turned around to look at him. He had a genuine smile on his lips.

"Goodnight, Beautiful. Sleep well, okay? I love you," he said. I smiled and started for the house. My head felt light, and I was really dizzy. I stepped onto the porch and turned to look at Jake in the car. I turned back around and didn't realize I was that close to the door. My head hit the door and I quickly pulled my hands up to my head.

"Owwww!" I whined. My head still felt dizzy. I could hear the booming laughter of my uncle Emmett in the family room. "Ugh!" I turned back to see if Jake saw that and of course, he did. He stopped his car and stuck his head out of the window.

"I'm fine!" I called over to him. He watched me open the door and walk into the house.

"Ness, you know you're supposed to open doors," Uncle Emmett said. I glared at him as he laughed. I looked out the window to see Jakes car gone. I frowned. My phone vibrated. When I took it out I saw it was Jake.

Are you okay?

I smiled and texted back, Yeah.. just a little.. uh.. dizzy. I looked over to Uncle Emmett to see him smirking. I groaned.

"What?" I asked. He smiled.

"Heads don't open doors Ness, Hands do, that's why we have opposable thumbs." He said and stuck his tongue out at me. When he walked away Aunt Rose came up to me.

"Do I even want to know why you 'fell' into the door?" She asked. I blushed.

"Aunt Rose..." I whined. She snickered and walked away. I sighed and started up for my room but my Dad's voice from the kitchen stopped me.

"Hey, Ness, come here for a seconds?" he asked. Oh great! Here it comes. I walked into the kitchen. He was sitting at the table reading the newspaper and my mom was sitting next to him.

"Yeah?" I asked, bracing myself for an argument. He inhaled before he was about to speak but I cut him off, without thinking.

"Before you get all Fathery on me, remember that you said you'd stop and-" He cut me off before I could finish my rant.

"Umm, I was just going to ask if you had a good time Ness…" He said.

Wow. That caught me by surprise.

"Oh… Yeah I did… sorry." He smirked.

"You know Emmett is right, you're supposed to open the door before you try and walk in." My mom giggled beside him. I smiled.

"Mom! You're supposed to be on my side!" I said. She smiled at me.

"Well... you should really open doors, not run into them." She said. My dad looked at her.

"Speak for yourself, Love." He said. My mom looked down and smiled. If she could've blushed I'm sure she would've.

"What are you-?" I started but my Dad stopped me.

"Nothing to worry about. You should get some sleep. Plus, I'm sure there's someone who wants to talk to you," he said. Someone who wants to talk to me? Kacey. I smiled and said goodnight to my parents. I walked up the stairs and into my room and of course Kacey was on my bed watching TV. She looked up at me when I walked into the room and smiled.

"So… how'd it go?" She asked. I laughed.

"You know... it was.. okay.." I said smiling. She groaned .

"Pleeeaassee tell me!" She yelled. I smiled. I figured if I told her she wouldn't have gotten the full story. I placed my hand on the side of her cheek and showed her everything that happen and when I was done I took my hand away and smiled. She looked at me with wide eyes.

"You seriously told Embry that?" She yelled. I laughed and nodded.

"He wouldn't leave us alone!" I told her. She smirked.

"Would you have gotten rid of me like that?" She asked. I laughed.

"I'm not gonna deny that I probably would."

"Wow, feeling the friendship right there," she said, sarcastically. I laughed. "So you had fun?"

"Yeah. I really did." I said. She smiled.

"Well that's good. I had so much fun decorating! Logan was still kinda stand off-ish of Jake, but I dunno probably because he doesn't like the fact that he can turn into a dog," She teased. What she said reminded me of something.

"So.. What uh, did you make worth Logan's time?" I asked, smirking. Her eyes grew wide and she bit her lip.

"What?" She asked. I laughed.

"Oh c'mon, Jake told me you bribed Logan to help by telling him you would make it worth his time." She looked down.

"I may have said that…." She whispered. I laughed.

"How exactly did you make it worth his time?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Haven't done anything yet. After helping Jake set up, I dropped him at his house and then came here…" I laughed and decided to drop the subject… for now.

"So how is Logan?" I asked. She shrugged.

"He's okay.. He's telling me his parents are arguing a lot.. it worries me. If they split up, Logan will be hurt." She said with a worried look. I patted her hand.

"If things take a turn for the worst, he'll still have you, and that'll be one thing I'm sure he'll be happy about." I said gently. She smiled.

"Yeah, I guess… it's just…." She looked down. "I don't know. I just want him to be happy." I smiled. We sat in silence for a few minutes until I spoke.

"You staying the night?" I asked. She looked up and shrugged.

"Okay then you are." I stated. She cracked a smile. I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. It hit me then how tired I really was. I smiled, thinking about tonight. Gosh, I'd been away from Jake for less than an hour yet… I missed him so much. I shook my head at myself. I cleaned my teeth and walked back into my room. I grabbed my phone after deciding to text Jake before I went to sleep.

Jake I had an awesome time tonight. Thank you so much. I love you, night xoxo I smiled to myself. A few minutes later he texted back.

Ness, love you too, don't thank me, I should be thanking you, because without you I would have no reason to be here right now. Night beautiful. Sleep well. -Jake xox I smiled, and I'm pretty sure it was an ear to ear smile. Kacey must have seen me because she took the phone out of my hand and read it.

"Awwww! How cute!" He squealed. I laughed.

"I know! I could just about cry!" I said and smiled. Kacey and I spent about an hour looking at dress's online, for no reason. We just were in a shopping kind of mood, which is rare for me. I was looking through up-to-date magazines while Kacey was looking through clothes on online stores.
I flipped the page and found a gorgeous deep green knee length dress. It had sparkles near the top of the dress. It was probably the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. I had to make a note of this to ask aunt Alice to pay for it in the morning.
I folded the corner of the page and chucked it on top of my night stand. My hands idlely rubbed the bracelet Jake had gotten me for Christmas. I smiled. I had never taken it off since. Not once. Suddenly I was wacked over the head with a pillow. I turned around quickly, looking at Kacey

"Um, what was that for?" I asked. She smiled

"PILLOW FIGHT!" she screamed. I laughed and picked up my pillow and started to hit her with it. See when you have two vampires (okay one full vampire and one half vampire) fighting with a pillow, it might as well be two vampires fighting with jello. About five minutes into the fight both the pillows were ripped open and feathers were flying out of them. I laughed.

"Thanks, now I have no pillows to sleep on!" Kacey laughed.

"Not my problem," Kacey said.

"Of course not. Cuz you don't sleep!" She smirked. Her hand jumped to her pocket right when I heard her phone vibrate. Logan? I sat on my bed, watching her, silently as she pulled out her phone. I watched her face turn from the smile before to a huge frown. Her eyes looked worried. She ran a hand over her face and sighed.

"Is he okay?" I asked, quietly. She shook her head. I waited for her to go on because I didn't exactly know what to ask. She just stared at the phone. After a little bit, she spoke.

"His… umm his parents…" She looked up at me. "I should probably go pick him up…" Her eyes stayed on mine for a moment and I had an idea.

"Bring him back here… we can take his mind off of…" She flinched. "things…"

"Thanks Ness." She said, sincerely. I smiled and she ran out of my room. In a split second I heard the front door open and close. I quickly hurried downstairs to talk to my dad. Before I could even verbally ask him aloud he spoke.

"Of course you can have Logan over, and yes he can sleep over." My dad said. I smiled and hugged him.

"Thanks daddy." I said and ran back up to my room. I quickly pulled three sleeping bags. I figured if I was the only one to have a bed it wouldn't be fair, so I got all the sleeping bags and quickly ran to where the living room was. I moved the coffee table out of the way and set all the sleeping bags down.
I pulled pillows off the couch since mine were destroyed. (thank you Kacey) I heard my dad chuckle in the next room. I smiled. I quickly got out a ton of movies to pick from, and turned on the surround sound. I put on the TV just to pass the time. About an hour later, Kacey opened the door with Logan on her shoulder. His face was streaked red and I could see that he had been crying. I didn't know he was so… sensitive. I moved over to the sleeping bag on the end so they could sit on theirs. Kacey sat on the middle one and Logan pretty much sat on her's too. His face was hidden and I could see Kacey's very serious face as she looked at me with panic and worry in her eyes. I put my hand on her arm.

Do you want me to put a movie in or something? To take his mind off this stuff? I asked, mentally. She nodded.

"Okay!" I said and clapped my hands together. "Anyone want to watch a movie?" I asked. Kacey immediately said yes. Logan picked his head up and looked at me.

"What kind of movies do you have?" He asked. I grinned and pulled over two piles of movies, with about twenty in each pile. Logan, Kacey and I picked out our favorites. I picked out Paranormal Activity. Because I figured it would most likely make him forget about his parents, and I love scary movies. I started the movie and was pretty into it… but I guess my drowsiness took over because I fell asleep. I dreamt about tonight… with Jake. I dreamt about the look in his eyes when I told Embry he might get 'lucky'. I dreamt about the way his lips felt on mine and the way he held me when we kissed.
