As soon as Amber left I was relieved. I was always a little nervous when she slept over because of my family who never sleeps. Speaking of my family, I was debating on whether or not to ask them how much of our conversation they heard.

I decided against it, my dad would have eventually told them anyways. Sometimes I wished my family wouldn't care about me so much, it got annoying.

I walked into the kitchen and saw Rosalie sitting there.

"Did Amber leave?"

"Yes." I probably didn't have a happy look on my face because she didn't say anything. I tried to forget last night but it still made me so mad that they were spying.

"Well I'm going to the cottage. See you." She didn't say anything again.

I ran to the cottage. Even though I wasn't as fast as a full vampire, but I still enjoyed the speed. I decided just to come through my window because I didn't want to have to talk to my dad. I crawled through and sat on my bed. Hmmm, what do high school kids normally do with their summer?

My thoughts were interrupted by a squeaking noise coming from the window. I whirled around half expecting my dad to be there, but instead I saw a tall tan-skinned werewolf trying to fit through my little window. "JAKE! Uh, I mean, Jake what are you doing?"

"Well I was bored so I thought that maybe u would want to hang out." He finally got through and walked over to my bed and sat next to me.

"I have a door you know."

"But climbing up the side of your house is more fun."

"Um, okay then."

"So do you want to go to the beach or not?" That was where we usually hung out during summertime, back when things weren't do dang complicated.

"Sure."

***

The beach wasn't too crowded. It was a cloudy day and it was chilly, just like every other summer. We walked along the beach in silence for a few minutes. I didn't really know what to say.

"Uh, so how's the pack?"

"Same old, I think Seth really wants a girlfriend though." He grinned.

"Haha, he's lonely?"

"Well no, I think he just wants to be cool or something."

"Wow." Silence again. Poor Seth. There were only a few members of the pack left that hadn't imprinted yet, including Jacob. I didn't want to think about the day that he finally found his perfect match.

"Is there something on your mind?"

"No."

"Yes there is."

"You know me too well." I couldn't help but smile.

"So what's up? You can tell me…" I bent down and splashed him with the water that was coming up onto the shore.

"Gotcha!" Yes! I was so good at changing the subject. He tried to splash me back but I dodged it and splashed him again.

"I used to be better at this when you were two you know!" He tried to splash me again and I tried to dodge it but I tripped over a rock and landed in the sand.

"You okay?" He said laughing and walking over to me.

"Yeah." I said and started laughing too. He handed me my phone, which had fallen out of my pocket. "Twenty three missed calls?"

"What?"

"I guess someone tried to call me 23 times. I told my parents I was leaving…" My phone started ringing again. "Hello?"

"Nessie it's me Amber."

"Oh, hey Amber." Jacob stiffened. What was that about? "Did you try to call me twenty three times?"

"Yes."

"Um, okay then. What's up?"

"I asked Jake out." Crap.

"What did he say?"

"He, he, he…"

"Yes…."

"He said no." WHAT?

"What?"

"Please don't make me repeat it Nessie."

"I'm sorry Amber. I can't understand why he wouldn't want to." Jake just looked at me. He could obviously hear the conversation and it looked like he was waiting for my reaction.

"I don't know either, but now it's going to be all awkward when we all three hang out."

"Oh, no it won't." I lied.

"Great. I ruined the friendship. I was just so sure…" I sighed. Sometimes she had too much confidence.

"I'm sorry Amber." I was still shocked. Why would he say no?

"Nessie, I have to go but we should really have another sleepover soon."

"Oh, yeah we should."

"Call me okay?"

"Kay." I hung up and looked at Jake. He just looked back at me with no emotion on his face. Was I missing something? "So, Amber asked you out?" He said nothing.

"Can you please talk to me Jake?"

"Yeah, she did."

"And you said no?"

"Yeah." He turned his head and faced the opposite direction.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I said quietly. We normally didn't keep secrets.

"Nessie, I have to go." He got up and almost ran away. What was his problem? I sighed and stared walking home.

Review!!! =D
