Chapter 4: Sunny

Nessie's POV

I barely had enough time to see my family before I had to go back home. Alice suddenly had a vision of me getting caught out past my set curfew.

So just like that I was back home again. Just in time for my parents to come home and see me in bed. I breathed a sigh of relief.

I went to bed with no issues that night. When I woke up the next morning the sun was shining brightly through my window. Sunny. It was rare for it to be so sunny around here. It was cloudy like 99.9 percent of the time.

I made the spur of the moment decision to go to the beach. One of my favorite activities was cliff diving. I loved the adrenaline rush I got when I jumped off of the cliff.

After giving myself another mix of cocaine and meth I ate breakfast quickly, fed my dog, and left the house with my bathing suit in tow. My parents had already left before I even woke up.

I got in my blue Prius and drove to the beach in less then 15 minutes. I changed into my bathing suit in one of the public restrooms before heading out toward the highest point of the cliff.

Just as I prepared to jump a pair of warm arms caught me and yanked me back. The person's warm hand covered my mouth to stop me from screaming. I was prepared to start fighting when I realized that it was only Jacob.

"Jake!" I yelled as soon as he uncovered my moth. "What are you doing?!"

"The question is Nessie what are you doing? Are you crazy or what?"

"I was cliff diving Jake! I do it recreationally all the time"

"Nessie you could get hurt. Or worse"

"Oh Jake I do it all the time and I'm perfectly fine"

I wasn't going to lie though. I enjoyed being in Jacob's arms. Much more then I probably should have. I had to admit that seeing him made me smile.

My ringing phone bursted my happy moment though. Jacob released me so that I could search through my bag for it.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw who was calling. His name was Jose and he was one of mine and Blake's best friends. He was also our drug dealer.

As soon as I answered I switched over to Spanish. He mainly spoke Spanish so our deals were always made in Spanish.

"Hi Jose" I said.

"Hi Nessie. I'm just letting you know that I have your order ready. Sorry it took so long I've been really busy"

"It's okay. How much is it going to be?" I asked him.

"Come by tonight and we will negotiate" I gritted my teeth. I hated it when he said that. I preferred to know ahead of time how much my drugs were going to cost.

"Okay just give me a place and time and I will be there" I said.

"Eight o clock at my house"l. Be there or else"

I gulped. I had yet to find out what 'or else' meant and I honestly had no desire to find out what it meant. It scared me. I liked to think he wasn't capable of hurting me but sometimes I wasn't so sure. Not when money was involved anyway.

"Okay. I'll be there. I always am" I felt the need to point out.

"I know" he said. We hung up.

Jacob looked at me in complete confusion.

"You speak Spanish?" I asked. Still in complete shock.

"Oh yes I speak it fluently. My adoptive family are all Mexican. They taught me the language when I was really young. I usually spend a month during Summer in Mdxico with my grandparents which really helps"

"Wow Ness. There is so much that I don't know about you. I feel like we're complete strangers"

"Well ask me anything you'd like. I'll tell you anything"

"Okay who was that guy you were talking to just now?"

"Oh just a friend of mine. His name is Jose. He was just asking if I wanted to do something later on" It was kind of true. Sort of. Okay, not really. But what Jake didn't know wouldn't kill him. Right?

"Nessie are you okay? You look deep in thought"

"I'm okay" I said. "Anymore questions you have for me?"

"Lots Nessie. I have many many questions for you. First of all how are you not mad at me?"

My eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Mad? Why would I be mad at you?"

"Because I lost you. I lost you and didn't even realize it! How could I have been so stupid as to not realize that you were no longer on my back?!"

"Jacob it was an accident. You didn't mean it. I was never mad at you for that. I could never be mad at you for that. It's okay"

"I don't understand-"

"Jake I can never be mad at you for something you didn't do on purpose. You're the greatest friend that I've ever had"

Jacob scooped me up in his massive arms and nearly crushed me against his chest.

"Can't. Breathe" I wheezed out.

"Sorry Nessie. You just made me extremely happy when you said that"

"I can see that" I said.

"Well I have another question Nessie. Will you go have lunch with me?"

"Lunch? I mean, of course!"

Jacob was so happy that he actually picked me up and spun me around. It made me giggle.

"You know your parents were hoping that I would bring you to the house as soon as I found you. But I think we might be able to keep them waiting just a little while longer"

As eager as I was to be able to really talk to my family I could wait. I was just happy to be with Jake. My own personal sun. Alone time with Jake sounded heavenly. Once the sun was gone again I probably wouldn't be getting much alone time with him.

So we went out to lunch. Afterward we went for ice cream. Then we went to see a movie. Then we went to dinner.

We were having so much fun that we lost track of time. Just talking and laughing.

"Oh holy crap" Jake said when he looked at the time.

"It's 7:30. Your dad is seriously going to murder me. He wanted me to bring you home as soon as possible"

"Well we could go now. The sun isn't down yet so it's not like he can come look for us or anything. We're still on time to avoid all of that drama.

"You're right. Let's go. As it is he's going to chew me out already. Both him and Bella actually"

"Okay let's go Jacob" I said. I was more then eager to see my family again. I longed to be with them.
