POV: Nessie and Jake's

Forks.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Nessie! Wake up!"

Couldn't she at least give me five more minutes? It's only 8:00, on a Saturday!

"Nessie stop complaining. Jake is here." Those last three words were what got me up and going.

Jake doesn't know it but for the last few weeks I have been feeling different about him. My sibling-like love was turning into a totally different type of love. I haven't told him yet and I don't think I'm going to. What if he doesn't love me the same way? What if his imprinting means he can never love me like that? Why can't he love me?

"Nessie stop!" Dad bursted into my room. "Nessie, I won't tell your mom but please stop thinking about that. Or at least block your thoughts." "Sorry dad."

I started imaging a brick wall. I discovered that doing that can block your thoughts but it also makes him think you are not thinking about anything. I had been doing that a lot recently. I had planned on not letting Dad and Mommy Bella know about how I felt about Jake. But obviously I just ruined that. Ugh.

I was finally ready; I had thrown on a pair of sweat pants and a tee shirt. Aunt Alice would die, no pun intended, if she saw me.

"Nessie, come on! I'm taking you to the beach!" JAKE! I had forgotten he was here. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. Being the klutz I am, I tripped. Luckily two big, muscular arms caught me. "You know, you're just like your mom." "Uhh… Thanks…"

"Now that you are done making fun of me, can we go?"

"Sure, sure."

It took 20 minutes to get to First Beach. But instead of stopping on the beach, Jake kept walking. I didn't know where we were going, but I figured something was about to happen.

"Jake, where are we going?"

"You will see."

After about 5 minutes of walking, we arrived at a little clearing in the edge of the woods. It had a picnic blanket and basket in the middle of it. It was gorgeous! I wonder who did all this. Did Jake do it?

"Jake, what is all of this?"

"Nessie, I have something I need to tell you."

"You know how we told you imprinting meant that I was destined to be your best friend? Well, it means more than that. It means that I will do whatever it takes to make you happy. It's like love at first sight. First it starts out as sibling-like love. Then it goes to best friend love. Finally it goes to love. Nessie, I think I'm beginning to fall in love with you. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I couldn't get up the nerve to."

"Jake, I think I'm beginning to love you too."

Before I knew it, me and Jake were getting closer. When our faces were only millimeters apart, I felt my eyes flutter shut. The next thing I felt was his lips gently brushing mine. When he pulled away, he had the biggest smile on his face. This made me smile too.

"So Ness, you want to go swimming now, or eat?"

"Let's go swimming; I'm not really hungry yet."

"Okay."

We swam for about 2 hours. When we were done we went back to eat. Once we were finished eating, we got in the car to go to my house. Something unpleasant crossed my mind. I was glad dad wasn't around or else I would be in trouble.

"Uh, Jake?"

"Yes Nessie?"

"What are we going to tell my parents?"
