A note from me: I know you've heard this like three million times before but...REVIEW! It's nearly Christmas, the season of giving, ya know? And I think you should all give me reviews for Christmas! Lots please! lol. WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS BAD DRIVING, READ WITH CAUTION! Lmao.

I was half way down the road from Jacob's house when I noticed the sound the truck was making, it was like a rattling, whining, almost as if an animal was stuck in the engine.

Crap, I thought, doing an illegal U-turn back to Jacob's house.

I walked straight into the house, forgetting about Billy and Charlie.

"...Hey, Billy. I forgot my Mom wanted Jake to take a look at the truck." Billy chuckled, his old face crinkling up with a wide grin that reminded me of Jacob's, "I think he's still out in garage, I really should put a bed or something in there for when he moves out permanently."

I heard them laughing as I walked out over the uneven driveway, but before I could go any further I saw Jacob leaning on the truck. "Hey, Jake. Can you look at the truck for me? It's making a weird sound."

"Sure," He said, opening the front of the truck. I looked at it anxiously.

"Be careful okay? That truck is a senior citizen!"

"Relax, Cass, I was the one who sold it to your mom."

I couldn't think of an answer so I stood there patiently while he looked around in the engine, looking politely confused.

Finally Jacob's head reappeared,"All done!"

I gulped, I couldn't stall anymore.Oh well I thought, It's probably better to get this over with.

"Um...Jacob?"

"Yeah Cassie, what is it? Don't give yourself a brain hemorrhage, just spit it out!" Jacob chuckled.

"I need to ask you something...Let's go to first beach?"

We walked down to one of my favourite places in the whole world. On first beach the golden sands seemed to glitter, even on the dullest days. Waves roared up against the shore, licking the sand, blue, grey, white, silver and gold.

Jacob ran, kicking up the sand and I laughed at how stupid he looked as I skipped to keep up with him.

Finally Jacob slowed to a stop beside our piece of drift wood I sat down beside him and for a moment we just sat in almost-silence, listening to the waves.

"What did you want to ask me?" Jacob questioned, quietly, as if he was afraid to tear the silence.

"I was wondering..." I said, taking Jacob's hand and entwining his fingers with mine, "I was wondering about the Quileute legends...About the Va- cold ones, what did they look like?"

Jacob's face almost visibly fell but then he laughed, "Haven't you heard this a million times before?"

"I guess so but not from you..."

Jacob laughed again, this time it didn't seem so fake. He began in a suspenseful voice, "The cold ones were, are, amazingly beautiful, to lure in their prey." I remembered Edward's lovely soft, shing bronze hair and the way his bright bloodred eyes pulled me in.

Jacob continued, oblivious to my memories, "the ones that your people call vampires are known for having red eyes although in some legends they are golden and black"

Check.

"Their skin is ice cold to touch and a deathly pale white"

I remembered his hand on my neck and shivered involuntarily. Unfortunately Jacob noticed, "Cassie?" He said his dark eyes filling with concern, "Did scare you that much?"

"Yeah..." I admitted.

I couldn't forget him, I saw another flash of red hair and white skin. In my mind's eye I saw staring, red eyes. I could have sworn I felt an icy cold hand on my neck.

In an attempt to block out my thoughts I pulled my iPod out of pocket and shoved my headphones in to my ears. The first song that played was Thunder by Boys Like Girls and t was nearly halfway through the song.

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder ,

I sang softly, realising Jacob and I were still holding hands I pulled him up from the piece of driftwood. He gave me a confused look as I arranged his hands and if we were dancing.

We twirled in the sand laughing while I sang the words.

"We're both awful dancers, you know!" Jacob said, grinning widely.

Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes and spilled over onto my cheeks. It seemed so stupid, Jacob telling me I couldn't dance the day after I get attacked by a vampire. It was so irrelevant.

I put my head on Jacob's chest and rested there for a few seconds while we turned circles on the beach. As I breathed in slowly Jacob started yelling, " Cassie! What the hell are we doing? Stop giving me mixed messages! I'm in love with you, for Christs sake! And even though your to blind to realise it you're in love with me too!"

I jujmped backwards and satmped my foot in the sand, "Jacob! I'm not in love with you! When will you realise not everyone cares about you? You're just one person out of 6.7 billion! And I don't frigging love you! Love isn't real Jacob, stop believing in make-believe, it's never going to come true!"

I walked away, fresh tears stinging my eyes. Jacob ran, in an instant he was beside me. Suddenly his voice was soft, "What happened to taht little girl who made mud-pies with em and said that when we grew up we were gonna live in my garage and eat nothing but gummy bears?"

"She grew up, Jake! Maybe you should too!" I answered, venem present in every sylabyle of the harsh words.

My heart ached in my chest at my creul words, Jacob seemed speechless.

I ran the rest of trhe way to his house, quickly climbing into the truck and starting the ignition as I drove away a jet of rain water from under the tyres splashed over Jacob.

Good! I thought and accelerated to ten miles over the speed limit, so that I couldn't see his face.

END NOTE: this is NOT a team Jacob story btw And it is NOT necessarily a team Edward story either! It is a team Alice story! Not really I made that up. It is more Edward than Jacob anyways :) Please review! Should I write more?? =S
