As soon as Alice left for school, I snuck downstairs. My hand was one the doorknob, then. "Aha!" Gabriel cried. Obviously, I hadn't been quiet enough. "You're off to see the wolf!"

"And I'll take you with me if you keep that up."

"No!" he wailed. In is melodramatic moment, I slipped out the door.

While I walked to my car, I deeply inhaled the air. It was a nice day, for Forks that is. The cool moisture brushed lightly on my skin. Alice was right, It would proabably rain today. I looked up at the darkening clouds. It was definately going to rain today.

I got in the car and started the engine. Lately, I had been trying to drive the speed limit, but thirty-eight minutes was going to be so long. So I sped it up, a lot. Even with me breaking the law, I was able to sort my thoughts out some. Where to begin, I thought. Ok, how about I can't we are doing this. Tonight. Ah, way to close for me. How was this possibly going to work? Stop! You are such a worrier Jera. I know that. Something is going to go wrong. No, it won't. Yes it will.

So maybe I wasn't so good at sorting out those thoughts.

I tried thinking about what Alice had implied last night. It was true, I did want to. But did he? Seriously, if he wasn't ready for this yet, it would be really, REALLY awkward. Jacob might like kill me or something. Ok, that definately wouldn't happen, but still. He'd be like freaked. It might ruin everything. On the other hand, it's not like we have to worry about me becoming pregnant or anything like that. But, I am a virgin, and he probably is too...

Ugh, I was so bad at sorting out my thoughts, when I was nervous.

I was at the Black house, so I parked, my car and got out. Taking a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, I started walking to the house. I went up to the door and rang the doorbell. An old man in a wheelchair opened the door, Jacob's father, I assumed.

He looked up at me. "Who are you?"

"I'm Jera. Is Jacob here?"

After a few seconds, he laughed. "No, he's not, but nice try Bella."

"What? Are you talking about Bella Swan?"

"Very good, you know your name," he started closing the door.

"Let me in," I growled. I had no patience today.

"Want me to call the police? I'm sure Charlie will be estactic." With taht he slammed the door. I cursed quietly. Then I remembered. Uh hello, super sneaky vampire skills. Duh.

I slunked around to Jacob's room. His fater wasn't lying, he wasn't there. However, he had left me a note.

Jera,

I'm at the cliffs. Ok?

-Jacob

Simple, but helpful. I stared at his note for a little bit, taking in his scribbly handwriting. I sighed as I realized this meant more driving. Oh well, back to my nervous thoughts... Then I snatched the note, it was taped to the window, and stuck it into my pocket. I smiled as I noticed that our names both started with J's. It was kind of surprising that I hadn't noticed this earlier. Then again, it had been sort of hectic since I've gotten here, or maybe it was just that I hadn't had human blood...STOP! I commanded my mind.

I raced into my car. Driving at over 100 miles an hour got me to the cliffs very quickly. I parked a mile away, determined to scare him. Since he had failed the last time he tried that. Slowly, wel rather quickly for a human, I snuck up behind him.

"Nice try," he laughed. "But I know your smell." Jacob turned around and kissed me.

I pouted. "But, how could you smell me so easily?"

"We're designed to smell vampires."

"No fair. I hope you get a cold," I said jerking my head up to the clouds that were about to burst with rain.

"So what's the plan?"

"Ok, just don't interrupt me. Bells is going to take Edward to her house, where all of us will already be, hiding. Then from behind, I'll freeze him and you knock him out. Don't," I said as he opened his mouth. "Then, we drop his body somewhere in between here and Forks. Then we will drive to Old Royal where...you know."

"Sounds, uh, ok I guess. How about where we stay? I don't have that much money."

"That's ok." I bit my lip. "Alice booked us rooms. There's one for Charlie." Then I sped up my voice. "Bella and Alice are sharing. And you and I have have one."

"What? I got the Charlie part..."

"We're sharing a room," I blurted. Damn nerves, I wish that I wasn't so nervous. "It was Alice!" I defended myself.

Jacob smiled, resting his hand on my shoulder. He leaned in. "I can't wait," Jacob whispered into my ear. My cold dead heart fluttered. I was taking this as a good omen.

"Now what?" I asked slyly. He pulled my head towards his. This was good. We were there for a while. In my mind I laughed at how much we liked to kiss. It was crazy, but all good.

"How'd the meeting go?"

"They're pissed."

"No kidding. The Cullen's all know about us. Edward just couldn't help but think about it..."

"Don't blame him, it was me."

"Ok then, it's all your fault."

"Hey!"

"You said..."

"Ok, you're right."

"I always am." I smiled.

"No one likes a smart alec," Jacob teased.

"So, with your pakc, anything I need to worry about?"

"Not really, like I said before, it might take a couple of years before they decide to exile me now that we have all the time in the world to waste," he finished miserably.

"Oh...I'm sorry." I looked away. This was my fault. Firmly, he grabbed my chin and turned my head. Jacob gazed deeply into my eyes. His hot hands sent shivers down my spine.

"Don't be sorry." I couldn't say anything. "This is not your fault." Of course it was. We stood like this for a while. I had averted my eyes to the ground so I didn't have to look at him. "Jera," he prompted.

"Yes, ok," I replied, truly talking about my name, but he wouldn't know that.

"Good."

"Yeah." I looked at him and smiled.

"Well, I guess we should get me packed. This takes three days you said?"

"Maybe longer..." He cringed but walked to his vintage Rabbit.

"Need a lift?"

"No, I've got my car." Then I burst off to it. I was already starting the engine when Jacob pulled alongside me. He honked. I honked back. "Is that a challenge?" I taunted.

"A Rabbit against a Cayenne, hmm, that doesn't seem too fair."

"Chicken."

"Wolf," he corrected. I laughed and flipped my honey-colored hair. I sped off, not too fast though. He was right behind me.

"Where are you going?" Jacob asked.

"To my stalkers house."

"Can you blame him?" I looked at myself in the mirror. Of course not, I smiled.

"I guess not."

"Good, becuase I hear he's nice."

"Is that so? I've heard that he's ill-tempered."

"Maybe it's both."

I laughed. "Maybe." There was only a few quiet minutes before we got to his house. I parked in the driveway, ahead of Jacob.

"I won," I pronounced sweetly as I stepped out of my car.

"I wasn't aware we were racing."

"Sore loser."

"Sore winner."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know." I whacked him playfully. "Nice," he growled, rubbing his arm. Did I actually hurt him? I have to remember that for future refrences.

"Ok, time to pack," I announced as I danced up to the house. Jacob rang the doorbell. His father opened the door. He looked at me with a confused look.

"Dad, this is Jera," his face was priceless. Yeah, that's right, I wasn't lying. Jacob immeadiately dragged me to his small room when he saw my smug smile. I had to stifle a giggle.

I sat on Jacob's bed watching him happily. It was extremely quiet in the room since I couldn't hear thoughts anymore. A small shiver ran down my back. Quiet was definately something I didn't like. Falling back onto the bed, I stared at the ceiling with great intrest, for no particular intrest. This was something I hadn't encountered since I'd been in Forks, boredom. Then my phone rang. It was Alice.

"Jera?" She asked her voice frantic.
