I liked writing the first chapter of this a lot so that's why I'm putting this one on right away... tell me what you think =)

I sat in my room after school watching the rainfall outside my window. At least it's summer now, it should be easier to avoid Amber and Jake. I'm almost sure he will say yes, Amber was very pretty. I couldn't understand this sudden feeling of jealousy washing through me. I'd never imagined Jacob and I as more then friends until this very day. He was actually pretty attractive, tall and muscular. If only I had paid attention to those things sooner. Ugh, I hate this dating thing.

I heard my door being opened and I didn't bother turning around. My mom sat next to me on my bed and put an arm around me. Neither of us spoke for a while.

"Your dad told me what happened."

"Oh, did he now?"

"Nessie, please don't be mad, he just want you to be happy."

"I'm fine Mom. The only thing that would make me happy is for him to stop spying on me!"

There was a pause before she said, "You like Jacob."

"Do not." She just shook her head. I guess she figured that I was just as stubborn as my overprotective father.

"You can tell me about it honey."

"I'd rather not." She looked disappointed. "But thanks." I added. Then I gave her a hug.

We sat in peaceful silence before I heard Uncle Emmett knock on my door. "Come in." I sighed.

"Nessie your friend is over at the other house for a sleepover or something."

"Oh sh-….oot." Gosh, I've been spending waaaaay too much time with Emmett lately.

"Nice save!" Commented Emmett, "I've taught you well!" Mom just glared at him.

"Ugh, I forgot about our beginning of summer sleepover. I'm not in the mood for this."

"I can just scare her off" Emmett teased. I grabbed a pair of pajamas and walked out of the room without another word. "What's with her?" I heard Emmett ask.

"I think she has her first crush." Oh my god! Did she actually just say that? Does everyone need to know?!?!

I ran from the cottage to the big house as fast I could. Amber and I usually slept there because that's where the game room was. I opened the door and tried to clam down. Amber was in the front room waiting for me. "Hey Nessie!" She squealed. Oh no! Did she ask him already?

"Um, hey."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just tired I guess."

"Oh, okay." I led the way to the basement.

***

I kept her busy with numerous Wii games until about eleven. Great, now was the time where we had to talk, just like all the other sleepovers. I wasn't too unhappy about it though, this suspense was killing me.

"Did you ask Jake yet?" I blurted out when we were laying down our sleeping bags.

"Um, no," She blushed "I was waiting or the right time." WHEW!

"Oh, um, so…. When do you think you will?"

"Oh, I dunno. Hey maybe we could call him now!"

"NO!" Whoops…

"What the heck?"

"I just meant that he's probably asleep. Because it's late. You know how people sleep at night." My face was getting all red and hot.

"Nessie what's wrong with you?"

I didn't respond, that's when I heard whispering coming from the top of the steps. "I told you!" I heard my dad whisper.

"Hold on for a second." I walked up the steps using my vampire side to be very quiet. I flung the door open and found Dad, Mom, Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice crouched by the door. "What are you doing!? Are you guys seriously spying on me?!"

"Ness-" Rosalie started.

"Can you guys just please leave me alone? If I wanted to tell you something I would!" I walked back downstairs trying to fake a calm expression.

"What was that about?"

"My family is very… uh…. Protective. Whatever. There weird. Anyways, how were your final exams?" I said in a desperate attempt to guide the subject of conversation elsewhere.

"Protective?" Damn.

"Uh, okay so that wasn't the right word… Nosey."

"Oh…..kay… So, why did you scream "no!" before?"

"Um… I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"Did not."

"You are so stubborn! Just tell me!"

"Well, I screamed no because… I heard my family spying on us… so… um…ya."

"Wow, Nessie." She said sarcastically.

"Let's go to sleep, it's getting late."

"Who are you and what have you done with the Nessie that likes to stay up until three?" She said, getting into her sleeping bag.

"That Nessie has had a long day." I rolled over and stared at the wall.

"Well, nightey night then!"

"Um, goodnight." I sighed.
