Summer
He loved summer. It was the best time of the year for so many reasons! Not only was he out of school, but the sun usually decided that it could come out as well. And those sunny days meant more fun for him.
Some days, his father would take him fishing. He would never forget those adventures out on the ocean, or to a nearby creek. It was on these "male bonding" trips that he truly got to know the man he called dad. Jacob learned about his culture's history, and why everyone respected Billy Black more than any other man on the council. He heard legends that, although they weren't true, gave him the chills. Sometimes, he even had fun. He discovered that his dad's sense of humor wasn't so dull after all, and the two had many inside jokes to prove it.
The fishing expeditions could be dangerous as well. One sunny day, well, sunny for Forks at least, Billy and Jacob had gone on an impromptu trip to catch trout. The stock in the freezer was running low, and what would they eat if they ran out? All was going well, until disaster struck.
Jacob thought he felt a tug on the line, and stood up to see if he could spot the thing that had caused it. There was no use breaking a perfectly good line by yanking on it when it was hooked on a rock. It turned out that the obstacle was a fish, and a massive one at that. Seeing certain fame and fortune, Jake got a little too excited, and managed to fall out of the small rowboat. Billy couldn't do much to help him, but luckily the water was shallow, and the boy was a strong swimmer. The only harm done was that to poor Jacob's pride, and to the fish's mental stability. Still, it was not a trip easily forgotten.
On other summer days, when Jacob was much, much younger, he would sometimes play with his mother. His mother was amazing; everyone said so. She was the kindest woman on the rez, and definitely the most fun. No one else had quite the imagination she did. His mother was always coming up with games for the two of them to play, crafts for them to do, or adventures to go on. And she had her share of stories as well. Her's were even more interesting, and sometimes horrifying, than his father's were! He never tired of going on picnics, or for walks on the beach, and listening to the tales of mythical creatures that his mother spun, seemingly just for him.
Summer was his favorite season for yet another reason: his sisters. When he was young, they would take him to the beach, and build sandcastles with him. As he grew older, they brought him to bonfire parties, introducing him to their friends and enemies, and showing him how to have fun. Even though he was a good seven years younger than anyone there, he was still the life of the party. All of his sisters' friends greeted him on arrival, and included him in their games and jokes. He was the most cheerful kid that they had ever met, and they loved having him around, despite his youth.
Yes, Jacob loved summer best of all.
