A/N: Okay, so I know what you all are thinking "wtf?! Why hasn't she updated?" but I was a stupid freaking idiot who wanted to get 10 reviews before updating which (sadly) took forever. And then when I DID get 10 reviews, I couldn't find the notebook I had everything written down it. But yesterday, I found it. HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!

So please read, review, and enjoy! 333BTW: Bella's a bit OOC in this chap. Sorry!

Bella POV

"This is a nice car." I said, finally taking my eyes off Jacob.

"Thanks." He said, "I actually built it myself."

"NO WAY! That's really cool!" He built it himself? That's amazing. Edward couldn't build cars by himself. Stop thinking about Edward. I scolded myself. But I couldn't help make the comparison.

Jacob: 1, Edward:0.

"Yeah, it's just a hobby." He said.

"Well, it's a cool hobby." And hot.

"Thanks." It was like that for the rest of the ride. Just random small talk. I learned a little about him, and he about me. Everything he said just made me like him more. Before I knew it, we pulled up in front of my house.
"How'd you know where I live?" I wouldn't have been surprised if I had told him my last name was Swan. Everyone knows where Charlie Swan, chief of police, lives. But, I didn't- I just said Bella. God, I hope this guy isn't a stalker. He's too cute to be a stalker.

He rubbed his head nervously.

"Oh, yeah, you probably don't' remember me, but I'm your dad's best friend, Billy Black's son. You, me, and my two sisters used to play when we were little." He said with a sheepish (knee-bucking, heart fluttering, makes my intestines turn to jelly) grin.

"Oh! I can't believe I forgot that! We used to have so much fun playing in the mud."

His deep loud laugh elated me. Wow, I was in deep.

"So, I guess- I'll be going now." I said stretching out my words, hoping he'd take the hint."

"Uh... bye." I sighed. Maybe he didn't like me like I liked him. Maybe he didn't like me at all. Well, it was nice while it lasted, if only for a little while..."

But, just as I started to open the door...

"Can I have you number?" On the outside, I managed a smile but on the inside I was doing jumping jacks and back handsprings (things I could never actually do because I'm such a klutz).

"Sure." I gave him my number.

"I'll call you tomorrow?"

"I'd like that. Thanks for the ride, Jacob."

"You can call me Jake."

Once he pulled out of the driveway I ran up the stair, taking two at a time, surprisingly not falling. I looked over at the Cullen house, only to see an empty driveway. Alice and Edward weren't home yet? But Alice drove recklessly, just like Edward.

I called her knowing she'd be dying to hear.

"OMG! Bella! Are you home?! How'd it do? Did he kiss you? Did you get his number?"

"Well, hello to you to Alice." I said. I told her everything, and she squealed.

"So, now it's my turn. Is Edward okay? And why aren't you home?"

"Well... See... about that, we're kinda, at the emergency room..."
