This bit was going to be difficult. I mean, Jacob had run off yesterday, and he'd been upset. So, yeah.

Mum drove her big red truck down to La Push, where I was going to attempt to talk to Jacob.

The old trick had seen better days, and dad tried, and failed, to replace it with something faster and flashier, but mum had fallen in love with her truck. Sure, dad had secretly replaced the engine (well, he got me to. I have all the engineering skills cos I spend the most time with Jacob) and have it a paint job, but it was still the same old clunky truck.

"Good luck, Honey." Mum sighed as I got out. Billy was standing at the front door waiting, and he was out of his wheelchair.

"Hey, Billy." I said as I walked up. "Is Jacob around?"

"No, he's just coming back from his patrol shift now so he'll be here in a minute. I would offer you tea but, you know." He was, as usual, wearing his stay-home-all-day clothes which consisted of a pair of jeans and a written out T-shirt.

"When did you get out of the chair?" I asked as he took me into the living room. "Oh and being me, I officially can drink human stuff. I just don't particularly like tea."

"Oh, ok then. Well, I busted out about a week ago, still stuck with crutches though, until I'm used to walking again."

"Hey dad. Um hey, Nessie." So Jacob was back then. Still wearing only shorts, and I know I've seen them loads before but his muscles, boy he's just gorgeous. Wait, wrong time, you like Luke, so shut up Mrs Black. But I thought the exact same thing before kissing Luke, and I only kissed him once.

"Jacob, can I talk to you privately?" As my nerves kicked in I felt myself trembling inside.

"My room?"

"Um, OK." As he led the way to his room, which was tiny, I couldn't help wondering what I was going to say. He sat down on his bed, which was the only place to sit, and I followed and say next to him. His room was only just large enough to fit a bed in one half, a wardrobe and small path in the other and everywhere, clothes just lying around. "Do you ever do your laundry?"

"I don't really have time for laundry, with the pack, and you, taking up all my time. If this is about that... guy, then don't worry. I knew this was going to happen at some point." I put my finger over his lips to stop him talking and he looked at me as if I was a dog who had just spoken. Although talking dogs weren't that rare around here, me sitting next to one right now.

"You know I still love you Jacob. I'll never stop loving you. I don't even know what happened earlier, it just... did."

"I know, I know. You know I just want you to be happy, right?"

"But I want you to be happy to. You looked so upset." This time it was his turn to stop me.

"It was just shock, that's all. And anyway, we have forever, right. He's only gonna be here for school, right?" Jacob looked like he was reassuring himself more than me.

"Well, I don't know about that." This was going to be a little awkward. Just a little.

"What, wait, what aren't you telling me?" Ok not a little. A lot.

"He's a vampire." Ok calm down. You didn't tell him you're a murderer or anything. Although, technically I am. I ended the lives of way to many cute little bunnies. They taste so good!

"Is that why you like him?" He looked upset again.

"I'm not sure I LIKE him as such. More like I think he's almost as hot as you."

"Since when did you think I'm hot. I'm not denying it but..." He shrugged with a knowing on his face.

"Since I knew what hot meant. Other than temperature." So since yesterday. But I didn't say that.

"Well I think I can definitely beat him." He was being cheeky now.

"Oh yeah? Can you prove it Wolfy?"

"I sure can Fangy." Oh God, cheesy nicknames time.

"Go on then." Oops. Really shouldn't have said that. I real realised then he was serious. He was going to prove it. I closed my eyes and say there, waiting. Then I felt his lips touch mine.
