Hi everyone! Thanks you all for the reviews! Love them! B) would love some more! :))
Stephenie Meyer owns the Twilight Saga and I own the plot :P

I had a triumphant grin on my face as we stepped off the plane. I was bubbling with excitement, and Bella caught some of it! Well, laughter is contagious like alot of other things. Such as STIs. I giggled in joy. I grabbed Bella's hand.
"Alice! Save that energy for helping with the suitcases. We don't have Mum nor Phil anymore. We don't see Charlie until outside the airport! Until then, we have to fend for ourselves! Understand?" I nodded and saluted dramatically.
"O-kay, Sir!" I still pulled her along.
Waiting for the luggage was just as entertaining. When I spotted one of our many suitcases, I'd jump and shout in glee, pointing at it, waiting for Bella to go get it.
"Okay. That's it. Your suitcases are too heavy. |You take your own and I take mine. And...oh look at that? That one's yours. And is fading into the distance...going...going..." I looked at her shocked. She wasn't bluffing. I made a dash around the revolving belt, screaming:
"Wait! Wait! Don't go! Hey, watch it, Lady! Neeehh!" I dodged like a ninja, and came back successfully, dragging it back to Bella in pride. She smiled calmly.
"Alice, well done. Now go back. Your next suitcase just passes again." I groaned and this time, running at what I thought was inhuman speed. I knocked someone over. Good job I wore flats, or someone could be in danger of a bruised foot. I shouted 'SORRY' behind my back and continued on.
Bella had burst out laughing once I returned. "Oh Gosh, Alice! That was so funny! That woman was pissed!" She gave me a high five. Now what to do with all of these suitcases?
JACOBPOV
"Hey, old man." I greeted my dad, Billy, as I walked into the living room. "Who's playing today?" Billy was watching the game on TV and didn't react to my voice.
"What do you want now?" he glanced up at me, then winking. I put my hands above my head and swayed side to side a bit.
"Nuthin' Nuthin'" I said "Just I'm just going to go cliff diving...Wanna come? I'm sure your wheelchair won't get rusty!" I joked, then laughed at it. Billy shook his head and turned his wheelchair in my direction, forgetting the game.
"Actually, you know how Charlie's daughters are moving in town?" I nodded, remembering Charlie coming over and telling us excitedly. "Well I think it would be a good idea if you and the boys showed them around, become their first friends. You understand how hard it is to move so late, right? Especially to a new country. Come up with me today and we can pop over and say hello. Give a good welcoming." I sighed, and checked my phone for any texts.
I agreed. "Okay...what time do you want to go?" Billy wheeled himself out the door, I followed slowly, reading my texts.
You still coming? Edward.
Doesn't look like it. Gotta meet chief swans kids with dad. sorry. Jacob
"Actually I think they would have arrived by now. Let's go." I put my phone in my pocket and suddenly felt another buzz. I check it again.
"Okay then.""
Kids? When was this? Edward.
I helped Billy into the car, then got into the drivers seat. I then typed Edward a reply message.
they've just arrived you are welcome to come, ill probs show them around la push and forks.
I got the car into gear and set off for Charlies. I bashed on the radio to get it to work. But it was broken. I couldn't wait until I was allowed to fix up the rabbit. I shook my head.
"Dad...this car is never going to be at it's best. When was it in the new? 1960s? 1950s?" I turned my head to his side, keeping my eyes on the road.
"Well, it's a good car. I did offer it to Charlie for the girls. But he wasn't sure whether one of them wouldn't like it. One of them is fashionable, so I assume they won't want this scrap of metal. Apparently their step-dad is some famous cricket star, who can easily get them a car each."
I nodded "Well, if it helps this Chevy's ego, it will be the last one standing. A tank can't beat this up." We both laughed. It was true though. I felt another cell buzz, but I was driving. I respect the law, especially with when I was going to Chief Swan's house. Also because of my mom. She would be annoyed. I couldn't do that, not even when she was in spirit.
I pulled up to Charlies drive, and saw his cruiser there, and their door was wide open. Charlie must've heard us-or more or less the car- as he jogged up to us and I swung the door open. He pulled me out and gave me a one armed hug.
"Hey, hows it going Jacob? Billy! Hows it going?" hey then went around and reached for Billy. I got his wheelchair form the back and wheeled it around to Billy.
"The girls are inside unloading, Jacob. Why don't you go up and meet them?" Charlie called out to me. My ears pricked at the word 'girls' and I looked up. I saw the curtain flutter, but I swear it wasn't the wind...more like a person. I walked inside and jumped some of the stairs.
"Hello?" Suddenly from one door a girl jumped out, looking all flustered. She had a familar shape, like I'd seen her before.
"Oh, hi! You must be Jacob. Char...Dad told me you were coming over." She look long strides and shook my hand. "Was that your truck? It's really nice."
I had to laugh. "Nice? That thing's a monster. It can total your car." I crossed my arms, challenging her. She raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Well what if I don't own a car? And I own a baseball bat?" Oh she was good.
"Well then I'd say that that can't even make much of a dent. Just damage the paint a little." I smirked back. Her eyebrow fell and she relaxed.
"This is not over. I have Charlie's gun" I laughed and put my hands above my head. Maybe that will dent it, but my screen will be ruined. Suddenly a pixie looking girl jumped out of the same doorway.
"Hi Jacob! I'm Alice!" She ran forward and hugged me. This must be the more fashionable one. It looked like she wore more money than my house alone. I laughed shyly. Wow she was forward. She stepped back and grinned a toothy grin. She then turned to her sister.
"Bella. You need to move your Paramore poster to the other side. It just doesn't look right where it is now." Alice shook her head and went back the the room. Bella...Bella Swan...that sounds REALLY familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it... Bella must have saw the puzzled look on my face and she frowned.
"What's up?" She leaned on the wall, and I mimiced her.
"Nuthin'. Just you look really...familiar." She shrugged, unfazed.
"Maybe I look like Charlie." I shook my head.
"No...I don't think it's that. It's like...I've seen you before...I don't know..." I shrugged and heaved myself off the wall without my hands. I walked forward.
"So...how do you like Forks so far? Got to La Push yet?" she laughed.
"Well...the rain...is always...n-nice..." I laughed out loud.
"Yeah, the rain will get better. We can take you to La Push to go cliff diving if you want, with Alice. Then we can show you around La Push and Forks. Or the other way around." I offered, and she nodded her head excitedly.
"We?" She had a cute little pout on her lips. I looked to her eyes. They were a deep brown, and I realised my mouth was open. I shut it as discreetly as I could without looking like a fool.
I shuffled on my feet. "Yeah. Me and a couple of friends. We met from myself- see I used to go to the La Push school on the res, but I transferred to Forks High. I brought them all together, but I don't brag" I winked at her, and she looked down. When she looked back up I swear I saw a faint blush on her cheeks. I smiled.
"What part is the La Push reservation?"
"Well I can show you when we pass by the line." Her eyebrow did that lifting thing again. It was sexy.
"Line?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
"So what school are you going to after the summer?" I asked her, scratching my head. She shifted her weight onto her other leg.
"Forks High" I nodded. "It'll be nice to know someone." I kept on nodding. She stepped back and leaned towards the door entrance.
"Alice! What have you DONE?" She stepped back further, tripped a little as she ran into the room. I casually walked forward, and laughed at the state I saw. Bella was on the ground with Alice and they were play fighting. Bella was straddling Alice as she leaned over, holding Alice arms above her head. Alice was laughing and screaming, waving her head about as her spikes flared about. The room...well, so far it was a tip. Cupboard doors were swung wide open, suitcases were left open on the floor, and clothes and stuff were flowing out of them. I saw a Paramore poster hanging above a bed, and books were all in a piled in a bookcase. What I assume Bella had freaked out on was a collection of CD's. Which were taped to the ceiling. Bella then got up from the floor and tried to jump at the music. Alice leaned on her arms as she giggled, watching Bella jump around like a fool.
"How the hell did you get up there, anyway?" Bella was screeching. "You know how much I love my music!"
I stepped into the room. "Here, let me help." I then reached up and grabbed all of the CD's, besides one." She thanked me, then looked at me expectantly, expecting me to finish the job.
"Argh Jake you're no FUN!"Alice laughed. I looked at her, laughing along. Bella whined, then kept on jumping for it. I picked her up and lifted her up, causing a squeal. I laughed as I held her up easily. I felt her tap my shoulder as a signal that she had the final CD. I slid her down my body as she regained balance on the floor. She held the final CD in my face, and I smiled.
"thank you!" She reached around and squeezed me into a hug. I held her and hugged her back.
"When do you all want to meet my friends and La Push?" I said, keeping an arm around Bella. She leaned into me, and looked at me as I talked. Alice looked between me and Bella, and grinned.
"Well, I want to do some more unloading, so why don't you two go and see the rest of Forks or La Push?" I knew what she was doing, and I was glad. I felt a good connection with her, and wanted to be the one the show her the sights. Or what sights there were. To a foreigner, things in La Push and Forks would seem a bore, but to me and the locals, those small things were special. I hoped Bella would appreciate them just as much. I looked at Bella and she looked at me.
"Okay then Ali. But...don't put anything on the walls. I may wanna paint them something good. Redecorate." Alice agreed and I pulled Bella downstairs, and into the truck. We passed Billy and Charlie on the way, they were in the living room, doing what they would do at Billy's- watch the game, with beer. I ignored the loud rumbling as the engine started.
"As you can probably tell, it needs ALOT of work. But I fixed up the engine, and brought it back to life, resurrected the metal box." I joked. Bella nodded, interested, running her hands along the dashboard. I was passionate about cars, and mechanics. Here I am one year, the next I'll be somewhere in the car industry. I could tell. I was a determined chap- nobody could stop me from doing what I wanted to do. I grinned at Bella as I started to drive.
"Where do you want to go first?" I asked considerately. I knew she had no idea where was where, but if she did, I wanted to know. She didn't obviously, as she laughed and patted my arm.
"You're the local. Try me." I grinned. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I drove to the sidewalk, stopping the car. I pulled my phone out, and checked. I forgot I had the message from before.
Oh that's cool. Maybe ill meet them later before i go on holiday. Edward.
Hey Jake its Jazz hows Forks w/o me and Rose? Texas is awesome dude thanks the family is all cool
Well im gonna show her around before friends unless you wanna stick around...J
hey ill try make room for you now that chief swans girls have come ;) J
I grinned at my texts. I put it back in my pocket and grinned at Bella.
"Let me take you to the First Beach. Destination La Push." I swerved off the sidewalk and turned the opposite direction."My friends will be cliff diving, further off, but you don't have to join them if you don't want to. It's pretty sick."
"Okay then. But I can't get wet..." i could feel her eying me. My grinned stretched even further.
"I'll see what I can do." The conversation then dissolved into content silence until we reached the parking lot next to the beach. I could hear the shouts and screams before I opened the door. I looked at Bella as I stepped out of my Chevy. She had that new look of excitement in her eyes, and her smile was fascinating. She was fascinating. I pulled her along to walk with me on the beach edge. I felt a buzzing and pulled my phone out.
Jake...we can see youu! ...from your stalker...
The text would have worked, if I didn't see Embry's number and name flash up on the screen. i looked up to the cliff, and saw a distant group of lads waving at me. I waved back. The phone buzzed once again.
Who's the girl? She looks hot. your stalker.
I laughed out loud. I then gave the group of lads the finger and I heard cat calls and 'boo's.
Ouch man. :P your stalker.
I grinned. Bella looked at me curiously.
"Don't worry. You'll meet him." She grinned and laughed.
"Should I be afraid?"
"Most definitely. But we have worse."
"Oh really?" I nodded and she giggled. She then took a look around the beach we were walking on. She slowed, and I mimicked her actions.
"It's beautiful. " She whispered. And from that, I was smitten with her.
"I always come here. For anytime. To have fun, to cry, or just to think." She looked up when I said about 'cry'. I nodded.
"It was always there. And it is so peaceful." In truth, I only cried here at the worst times. When Mom died, when Dad had been diagnosed with diabetes, having to survive on a wheelchair, when my sisters moved away... in the toughest moments. I sat Bella down on a log, and she leaned her head on my shoulder as we watched the waves move back and forth.
"Do you mind if I share this beach with you?" Bella whispered.
"Sure. It's a great place." I wrapped my arm around her and squeezed. I wasn't sure how long it had been, but I had ignored the buzzing and the sun had started to set. We talked about anything we thought of, and it was really...comfortable. I wondered whether she liked me, and soon I realised that she'd started to nod off. I picked her up and put her in the Chevy. It would have been perfect to carry on watching her, but I forgot about the noise that was my engine, which made her jump awake. I let out a laugh at Bella's shocked expression as she gripped the seat.
"Did I fall asleep? Must be the jet lag..."she sighed. I pouted a little. I felt like I knew her longer, yet it was only for a few hours. I pulled off the crurb of the lot and headed back to her house. The conversation lacked, but there was no awkwardness. As I pulled up into her drive, I decided to jump.
"Hey, Bella? Do you mind if we meet up again?" She looked at me quizzically, then nodded excitedly.
"Yeah, today was brilliant. Thank you." She jumped out of the car and I got out too. "We may need to stop off at the store for some paint...I want to decorate the room." I nodded and we both went inside. Billy and Charlie were nowhere to be seen, until we went upstairs to hear hushed noises and the squeaks of the wheelchair. When we got in, Bella groaned and leaned into me as I laughed. Alice was proudly standing in the bedroom with Charlie and Billy, and all of Bella's CD's were back on the ceiling. My phone buzzed, so I checked the text while still laughing.
eh eh? Girls? Save one for me? xD Jazz
Her? E
We all love a lil Jake ;)
