Author's Note
This is the not the last chapter after all.
If this was the last chapter then it would take me a forever to complete and it wouldn't be out for another forever and a day. And nobody wants that, right?

I own nothing, and I'm working through the pain with my therapist. (Just so you all know, I don't actually have a therapist, but one would be handy to work through all of the agony and depression that comes with not owning Twilight beyond a tattered copy.) Tear :(
This chapter is dedicated to my friend who forced me to get typing by threatening me with unwanted knowledge about the presidents. Grace, the JFK comment below is for you.

Avery's P.O.V.
Oh, God, I was so nervous.
Jacob and I were on a plane to his home in Washington, for his friend's wedding, and, again, I was scared stiff. I was so worried that I wouldn't make a good first impression. I have a tendency to keep babbling when I'm really nervous, and to say really out there facts, too. I once told a teacher of mine that JFK had chlamydia and spread it to a whole mess of people, when caught sleeping in class.
After I convinced myself that there was nothing to worry about, and that I would do fine, that alone took me most of the five hour trip, I realized that I wasn't just meeting his family, I was meeting everyone in his life, and I mean everyone. And that scared the snot out of me.
And that undid my hard work on convincing myself to remain calm.
Cindy almost didn't let me come. She had a problem with the possibility of me hating everything about La Push, the Native American reservation in which Jacob grew up, and ending up not knowing hardly anyone and stranded in a place I didn't want to be. Therefore, I was forced to bring someone with us. Jake had no objections, and neither did the friend who was getting married, Bella, her name was, and neither did his family, seeing as we were staying with them, so Sarah's coming with us.
And her subtle snoring right in my ear wasn't helping much.
Jacob hadn't any luck in calming me down, and started to worry when I developed a nervous twitch. And if there was anything to know about me, it was that when I started twitching, there was no calming me.
And I wouldn't stop until this nerve-racking thing was over, joy.
This plane couldn't land fast enough for me.

"Who's coming to pick us up?" I asked Jacob as we were coming out of the baggage claim. He had told me that a few of his friends would be coming but he never told me who.
He had shared memories with me of his friends. He told me about the wolf pack, and he talked about all the times he and his two best friends—Quil Ateara and Embry Call—got in trouble. He also told me about the friend whose wedding we're going to, Bella Swan.
The subject of Bella Swan was a touch-and-go type of thing. We never talked about her long, but form the short amount of time that she was the topic of conversation, I could tell that she meant a lot to him, and he admitted to me that he once felt that way about her, but not anymore. I took comfort in the fact that she, in fact, was getting married in a couple days.
Sarah piped in as she sat down on her suitcase by saying, "I don't care who's coming as long as they get here fast."

I could kill that boy.
And yet, as severely pissed as I am at that boy, nothing could make me happier than the knowledge that he's coming to my wedding.
What really made me want to kill him was the bone-heads riding in the back of my truck: Embry and Quil.
I was almost positive they were high.
Or maybe it was all that fudge that Emily let them shove down their throats right before I went to pick them up. But, whatever the reason may be, I'll kill him in his sleep some night soon.
Edward wasn't too happy when I wanted to be the one to pick Jake up, but calmed down when I mentioned that I would be also be bringing back the girl he imprinted on, along with one of her friends, so that the balance of estrogen would be in our favor. But he got all riled up again when I told him that I would be taking my truck. Silly vampire.
The airport was a delight, mostly because I wasn't trapped in the same motor vehicle as thing 1 and thing 2. Sometimes I think that those boys were raised by wolves, no pun intended.
But the real treat was getting to see my best friend. I spotted him easily, he was at least a head taller than almost anyone here, coming out of the baggage claim.
As soon as Embry and Quil saw Jacob, they went running to him—all but tackling him to the ground—scaring Avery and her friend half to death.
I seriously needed to get a pair of those child leashes on them.
Out of the two girls standing next to Jacob, I had no problem figuring out who was Avery and who was her friend, Sarah.
Avery Night was the one who actually rivaled Jake, Embry and Quil in the height department. She had darker skin than her friend—who reminded me of a human Alice, only with lighter and shorter hair. Avery had pin straight dark hair that went just below her shoulders. And I had to admit, disgruntled, that she was very pretty.
I went over to them, right in front of Avery, stuck my hand out for her to shake, and said, "Hi, you must be Avery Night, I'm Bella Swan."
Her eyes visibly widened and she muttered shyly as she took my hand, "I-It's n-nice to m-meet you." I smiled at her, trying to make her feel a little less nervous then she clearly was. "Really, it is. And this is my friend Sarah" She spoke a little more clearly this time. I said hello to Sarah as well.
I heard Jake let out an overly audible sigh of relief. "Well, now that that's done, what's been shakin' in Forks, Bells?"
