A/N: Okay so I'm writing and eating blackberry yogurt, yumm….Here is chapter 9! Woohoo!

Jake-…….

Me- Sorry, but Jake isn't here at the moment…-hears banging on closet door- …Ya, I gotta do something about those closet monsters…now where's the duck tape and a chair….

The sun was shining bright outside the hospital. That was new; it normally didn't shine that much in Washington. Near the front gate there was Billy's pick up truck. Jacob was going to drive home, well he was tall enough to at lest past for 16, but his driving skills, I had no idea how they were for more then a mile. To my surprise he drove like he'd been driving for al lest two years. When we pulled into eh driveway everything in the house was dark looking, guess everyone was still asleep. I looked at the clock and it was noon, no way were they still sleeping, but then where were they?

I flicked on the lights and almost had to go back to the hospital do to a heart attack.

"Happy Birthday!" everyone I've met was in the living room with ridiculous hats. Was it really already August second? Before I could answer myself, Seth come over with a hat in his hands and put it on me. Then he took one of those whistle things and blew it in my face. He began to run when I grabbed one and started blowing it in his face. After about fifty pictures of me chasing Seth, we had cake and opened presents.

Mom bought me some makeup and "How to Wear Makeup" book. I turned bright read, but thanked her for it. Billy and Jacob gave me a Mariners sweatshirt. The whole "La Push Gang" pitched in and got me silver wolf earrings with diamond eyes. Charlie, one of Billy's friends, and the guy mom hung out with on the first day here, gave me a camera so I could remember everyone here. The Clearwater's gave me a charm bracelet, and Seth added on a wolf to go with my necklace and earrings.

"Hey everyone, stay off the streets jay can drive!" Paul said practically shouting. I gave him a cute little smile, then hit him so hard on the head he fell.

"I can't drive yet moron! I don't have a license!" I swear Paul was the biggest moron ever.

After the party, Charlie and Seth decided to stay. I didn't mind Seth staying, but I didn't like how Charlie was looking at mom all the time. Whatever, mom would tell me if she was dating. I spent the rest of the day snuggling with Seth while we watched some basketball game.

When dinner came around mom went frantic trying to make it. Mom went behind my back and invited Seth to stay. I tried my best to ignore mom and the noises coming from the kitchen. When dinner was done, it looked and smelled great. Jacob and Seth both ate a lot. It was a wonderful Irish dinner: corn beef, carrots, onions, cabbage, potatoes and turnip. I could see the look on Jacob and Seth's faces when they first saw it. They were defiantly thinking why my mom, a full Quileute Native American, was making an Irish dinner? I got my taste buds from my father, he was Irish. Mom was one of the only people here who didn't marry a Native American. But I didn't want to tell that to Seth.

"Dinner was great Ms. Black, thank you!"

"Oh Seth, call me Jillian, and your welcome over anytime," mom said very happily.

"Jillian you act like this is your house." Billy said teasing her.

"Bye Jayme, Jake, Billy, Ms. Bl- Jillian," he corrected himself as he walked out the door.

"Oh, so mom approves?" Jacob said mockingly.

"Jerk! Where's your girl friend?" he didn't say anything. "Is it Leah?" he began chasing me around und the room, calling me insane while I just laughed.
