TWILIGHT

I don't own Twilight.

This is my first chapter fic, please enjoy.

The moment when you first meet someone is the most important moment between that someone and you because it is when you both give impressions of your character to the other. It's the do or die situation for any relationship or would be relationship. With that in mind the moment I meet the Cullens I feel as though we are already past this stage, there is no need for first impressions somehow I know I have to loathe them and that's exactly what I do.

As my gaze sweeps toward them for the second time I can tell my feelings are returned. Their faces are impassive but the way their eyes narrow is enough of an indicator.

Besides me Bella seems completely oblivious to the silent exchange that has occurred. I smile. Bella seems me smile and I guess she thinks that I approve of the Cullens because she returns my smile with a small gleeful smile. She then bridges the gap towards the Cullens besides the one I assume is her boyfriend Edward. Then the introductions begin.

"Jacob," Bella says pointing at me "These are the Cullens. "

"Jasper, " The honey blond says

"I'm Alice," The pixie looking one pipes up

"Edward," murmured the guy standing besides Bella.

"Esme," piped up the seemingly kind looking lady " And this is Carlisle. " she says pointing to the guy besides her who is also commonly known as Dr Cullen.

I force myself to smile at them for Bella's sake. I van already yell this will be a very strained friendship.

They invite me inside their house and despite myself I feel my muscles relaxing in the warmth of their house. I inwardly curse myself.

20 minutes later I emerge from the Cullen's house. I've left Bella, with them, with him but it couldn't be helped I just had to get out of the house. The moment I get a breath of fresh air I immediately feel more at ease than I have in the past 20 minutes. I linger on the porch for a minute longer then I set off towards my house.

I'm greeted by silence. There is no one home, my dad is out

I'm glad. I need some time to browser through my thoughts and the events that occurred at the Cullens.

I pad into my room and dive unto my bed and lay spread-eagle staring blankly at the ceiling. Images flit through my mind and before I know it the images begin to blur.

I crack my eyes open only to realise that I've slept through the remainder of my day. I peer to my right and see my alarm flashing the time 5:45 PM. My mind whirls trying to catch up to the time so I lie still in my bed processing until I regain my motor functions. I jerk my body upwards, then sit still for a few moments before I decide to head downstairs.

My dad greets me as I descend the steps. I nod my head in greeting then plop myself down on a stool in the kitchen. I peer at my dad through my half glazed eyes waiting for him to strike. He doesn't disappoint.

"So..." He pauses "I heard you were with Bella."

"Yeah," murmur while fiddling with my fingers

"Jake," He says

I suddenly feel exasperated.

"Dad, I know...OK" I'm suddenly exhausted " I just... Maybe..." The words die in my mouth.

He's suddenly by my side looking tired and drawn.

"Jake," He pauses

I can tell he is searching for words.

"The Cullens and the reservation..."

I block him out as I rest my head on the kitchen island. I've been told many times, and every time I wonder how I can be Bella's friend when I'm taught to loathe her boyfriend and his family.

A solution is found. For the past three weeks I've been avoiding Bella, it's a cowardly move but I needed to come up with a game plan, I'm still trying to find out the exact reasons why the Cullens and the reservation don't get along but no one wants to answer my questions, its frustrating and lately the weather has been gloomy more than usual. I think it is an omen that something bad is going to happen. As my luck had it the next few days will hold something bad for me.

I always wanted to grow up faster so that I could get to do whatever I wanted, but it turns out growing up isn't as glamorous as I expected it to be. There's too many expectations, secrets and lies; things I was so used to ignoring I can't just ignore them anymore. These are the thoughts that flit around my head nowadays when I'm just lounging around.

I was invited to play baseball with the Cullens ( my bad omen come to pass), well not invited per say more of Charlie put his foot down and announced the only way Bella was going anywhere was if I went along.

We tried protesting, Bella and I but her dad wouldn't hear it. Honestly I suspect my dad has something to do with Charlie's sudden change in tactics but I'm not going to mention anything to good old Bells. I don't want her to assume I somehow talked NY dad into giving Charlie a "little" push.

So that being said that is how I found myself in the most awkward situation ever. I mean look at it this way, I'm close friends with an oblivious girl whom I also happen to have a crush on and I'm practically interrupting her date with her undead leech of a boyfriend who also happens to be my packs mortal enemy hence by default my enemy too. I've done the maths and all the answers spelled out DISASTER.

Honestly someone has to give me a Nobel price or something, I mean I had enough tack to give Bella and Ber leech time to romance each other, but I'm starting to regret that act of "kindness." The moment my eyes see the mountain. I have to hike in order to teach this baseball game and that's when I realise that maybe wedging myself between them would have been a better alternative than to hike up this mountain alone.

I arrive at the baseball game a good twenty minutes later. I mean against a tree near the edge of the makeshift pitch trying to catch my breath. My presence isn't exactly needed here so I stay in the same spot just watching, just far enough not to necessarily intrude but still close enough to see Bella and far enough for me not to feel like waging war on the Cullens.

I'm entranced and I can't even deny it. This is the most exciting game of baseball I've ever watched, but I'll never admit that to anyone ever!

Across me on the other side of the "pitch" I spot Bella smiling as she talks to Esme. Despite myself I smile and relax. Time files past until.I see Rosalie starting towards me, towards the ball.

She blurs, she's going too fast I can no longer see her. I just feel a strong breeze wash past me as she jumps,Lunges for the ball.

For a moment I forget everything,where I am who I am, what I'm doing. Memories wash over me but I'm pretty sure they aren't mine, they are someone else's.

I'm lying in a bed in an airy blue and vanilla white room. I'm alone but I'm not scared, I know I'm safe here. My eyelids grow heavy then everything is shrouded in black.

The next time I wake up I'm greeted by by a beautiful pale face peering down at me, when I swing my arms up I suddenly realise my arms are tiny. I'm a baby. The beautiful person smiles at me and grabs one of my arms. I giggle. Behind the beautiful person are too more people, their faces are stern but their gazes are soft. Thenthe sceneis Interrupted by anenormous burst of pain. I hurt too bad and my body is burning and I feel as though my bones are reshaping and shaping again. The pain is excruciating that my vision turns black, I can feel myself screaming but my throat begins to burn; I can't even scream anymore so I just twitch and wiggle in the blackness.

In the clearing the baseball game continued for a few minutes with its initial vigour until the flow of the game was interrupted by Jacob screaming from the edge of the clearing.

Everyone froze. In a spilt second the Cullen's had turned toward the edge of the clearing where Jacob was slumped against a tree trunk screaming. Bella followed suit three seconds later. Jacobs form started crumpling against the tree, his eyes were open glazed staring into the distance only he could see. His screams were quickly subsiding until his mouth was just opening and closing soundlessly. His back was sliding swiftly against the tree trunk but before he could hit the ground Carlisle had caught him.

My eyes are heavy as I try to open them but I'm determined. I'm greeted by the glare of a bright white light, my eyes flutter shut again in reflex against the bright lights. Besides my bedside I hear a shift.

"Jake,"

I can't recognise the voice

" Wh...who I... Is... It," I rasped out.

I hear shuffling.

"Jake," The voice says again. Then I see a cup and I feel it press against my lips " Here,"

I drink greedily. I turned to look at the figure and I see my dad.

"Dad," I call out hoarsely, "Where am I? What happened?"

He twiddles his hands nervously from his wheelchair and I immediately know something is wrong.

"Jake," he starts " You collapsed at the baseball game with the Cullen's."

I nod though I regret doing so after when my vision swims.

"I remember falling then I got a memory... Then pain."

My dad continues as though he didn't hear me. "The Cullen's brought you to their house," he pauses yo take a breath " That's were you are right now... You have been unconscious for three days now."

I shut my eyes as
