Chapter 13
Emma's POV
Charlie and I left at 8 o'clock to head over to Sam and Emily's house. Charlie and Billy rode in his car over to the bonfire. I rode in Jacob's car with him, Embry, and Quil. Just to bug Embry and Quil, Jake grabbed my hand. He held it in a way to hide the scars. His hand was just as warm as ever.
"Geez Jake, PDA." Quil said.
Then, just to bug them even more, I tilt my head so my cheek is facing Jake, and he leans over and kissed it.
"Okay," Embry said, "We did not need to see that."
When we got to the bonfire, I went and sat down while Jacob went to light the fire. Embry and Quil came over and sat next to me, both putting an arm around me. I laughed. When Jacob came over, the look on his face was priceless.
"Hey you two, stay away from my girl."
My girl. He called me his girl. I thought to myself.
"Jake, you're always hogging all of her attention. You need to share her some times." Embry said.
"Yeah Jake, really." Quil agreed. Soon after Quil and Embry moved over to let Jacob in, they scooted closer to Leah and Seth.
"Finally. I get you all to myself." He said.
Jacob's POV
It got really quiet. It was time to start.
Billy started, "Since we have some first-timers, I'll start with one from the beginning. According to legend, the Quileute are descendents of wolves. When my great-grandfather was chief, he found that something was hunting on our land."
Old Quil continued, "He confronted them, but they claimed to be something else; vampires, or as we called them "the Cold-Ones." They had pale white, ice-cold skin, with eyes that were almost golden. So he made a treaty with them. If they killed no humans or hunted on our land, then he wouldn't expose them to the pale-faces."
"It's almost midnight," I whispered to Emma.
"Is everyone ready to count down?!" I yelled.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Happy New Year!"
I was so nervous, but I leaned over, and kissed Emma, not on the cheek like I usually do, right on the lips. At first she seemed surprised, but then she started to kiss me back.
"Happy New Year." I whispered.
