Nessie POV:

Whenever I thought of Jacob, I thought of love and friendship. He was my best friend, and one of the best. Whenever I need him, he is always by my side shielding me from anything that may cause me harm. He was there when I was little, to protect me with his big, strong hands. He was there, he was always there, always. He was there to love and care for me when I needed love and care. I love Jacob, but sometimes he can be over protective, I mean over protective, but I still love him with my whole, entire heart. But when I went to Lewis's that night, and he kissed me, and I kissed him back. I saw Jacob in Lewis's eyes, it was like I was kissing him instead. And that just didn't seem right to me...

I ran with all my might. I didn't stop, I would never stop. I hated this, I wanted to be home in my family's arms. I ran faster, and faster pushing my muscles to the ultimate test. My breath began to come out in short bursts. My cheeks became a hot red from the wind rushing against my face. My arms were beginning to feel sweaty and limp, like they were rubber hoses instead of strong vampire arms. My heart was pounding against my chest like a motor.

Mom, I need you...Jacob...my Jacob. Help me...

Everything went black.

I faintly heard something, or someone, mumble to me, or that's who I thought it was to. I slowly tossed around, clearly uncomfortable on the wet ground. My eyes were closed tightly. I softly groaned as I lumbered onto my back.

"Nessie? Are you awake?" The mysterious man sounded concerned. "Nessie?" I finally understood who it was, it was my Jacob, cradling my limp body tightly against his sun skin temperature.

"Jacob?" I mumbled, mostly to myself.

"Nessie? Oh, thank God!" My eyes slowly fluttered open. I stared into his black eyes, his face looked pained and scared.

"Jake, you don't have to worry, I'm fine--" He interrupted me with almost rage in his eyes. "No, you're not...where were you?" I bit my lower lip, my jaw slowly tightened.

How could I tell him? How?

"I told you," I answered back not looking at him,"I was at the dance." He shook his head angrily. "No, you weren't. You were somewhere else, where?"

I looked around uneasily trying to figure out a good explanation. My eyes brightened with glee. "I was with Susie," I told him calmly,"we went to the mall and--drank..."

"What?! Is that why you were here?! You were drunk, passed out?! Do you know what could have happened to you?! You could have been killed!" I shook my head sadly, as if ashamed in myself. "I'm sorry Jake, so sorry..."

I couldn't believe he actually bought that! Instead of walking away furiously, he picked me up in his strong arms and carried me home, running in werewolf speed. "Jake? Is Mom and Dad home?" I asked in a worried tone. He looked at me admirably and started to hold back a laugh.

"What?" I almost yelled at him. He immediately snapped out of it as he saw my reaction and and said calmly,"Wait to they hear about this, Nessie. They are going to be pissed!" I gulped loudly.

He stared at me worriedly again as he heard my gulp and cooed in my ear,"Don't worry, I'll protect you, they won't hurt you." I stared at him annoyingly and said sternly,"Jake, they're my parents. I'm not afraid of them, even though they might kill me, I still love them, always."

He nodded his head solemnly,"I know, I just love you so much I was worried about you. So I decided to look for you yesterday..." I stared into those deep eyes once more and sighed,"I love you too, Jake." He grinned that grin that would take my mom's breath away, and it took mine too.

I shuddered softly by the freezing air. "Are you cold?" He asked as it began to sprinkle with rain. I nodded softly my teeth chattering loudly onto each other. He skittered to a stop and knelt down onto the ground. He took off his long-sleeved shirt, and wrapped it around my chest. Of course I was trying to ignore him and think of my family and what they were going to do with me, but he was very distracting with his shirt off. I giggled softly to myself as Jake started to run at werewolf speed once again. He must have heard me, because he was smiling to himself. He stared down at me and said softly,"Ness, you don't look so good, are you sure you're okay?" He must have noticed that my face turned into a light shade of green.

I whispered back to him,"Yeah, I'm good, don't worry about it." He nodded his head and stared out into the dark, quickly weaving in and out of the trees. I could see how concerned he was in his eyes so I must not be a great liar.

"We're here," Jake said, almost nervously. I stared ahead of me and saw my whole family waiting inside, probably waiting in the living room. Each of them had a expression on each of their faces; pain, anger, sadness, more pain. Except Emmett, he was always smiling. I gulped again as we slowly went inside as the smell of lavender and honey began to fill the room.
