Hello, everyone! Chapter six is finally out! Yay! I do have some important information for you guys. Firstly, I now have a Beta for my story! She's been a huge help, so a big thank you to music04goddess! Secondly, because I now have a Beta the first five chapters of this story have been edited and updated. Nothing major in the plot has changed; only grammar. Thirdly, both music04goddess and I will be headed back to school soon. This means we will both be getting extremely busy, and it may take us longer to get a chapter out. I apologize in advance, but sometimes things happen. And fourthly, I do not own Twilight, but I do own Evelyn and any ideas that may come out of this story. Now on to the fun stuff!

Twin68: Thank you! I honestly am really happy that you are enjoying it so far. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure people would really like the idea, but I'm happy that people are enjoying it! Wow you've already sent two girls off to college? I'm the first in my family to go, so everyone was really confused on the process. It was hard to figure everything out, and the cost is ridiculous, but it's been a lot of fun. I'm glad you like your job! So many people are unhappy with their jobs now a days. You just need to make the best of everything, or at least that's my opinion. Thanks again!
Polly2010: Thank you so much! Random question, if I were to start writing another story who should my story be centered on? Just wondering! It may not even happen, but I'd like someone's opinion just in case!
Megladon1616: HAHAHAHAHA I read this and laughed so hard! Haha I love it! #Evcob! So cute! Haha Evelyn needs a nickname for Jacob. Don't you think? I mean he calls her Red, so she needs something for him. Hmmm, I'll have to think of something, or you have suggestions let me know! And yes there is a LOT of tensions. Plus, Jacob's gonna have to work for it. Evelyn isn't like the skanky girls he's been with.
Twin268: Haha I promise she isn't giving me a hard time! I appreciate everyone's reviews and opinions on the story. I remember when I first read New Moon I was so mad at Edward for leaving that I threw my book down and walked away. It took me a while to finally pick it up and actually read the rest of it. Thanks again for reviewing, and I'm glad you like the last sentence! Jacob is starting to find his new obsession!
Layla347: Thanks for the review! Yeah, Jacob is starting to like Evelyn more and more, but Evelyn is still a little…unsure. Yes, she feels a pull to him, and gets all tongue tied, but she doesn't really know him at all. They still have a long journey ahead of them!
"It wasn't a date," Evelyn repeated into the phone.
"It was definitely a date," Jessica answered. Evelyn sighed and rolled onto her stomach. For the past ten minutes, she had be trying to convince Jessica that her night with Jacob was not a date because it wasn't. Or maybe it was? No, it couldn't have been. Evelyn would have known if she was on a date.
"Evelyn," Jessica sighed into the phone, "Why can't you just admit it was a date?"
"Because it wasn't!" She exclaimed laughing.
Jessica huffed, "Well, how do you know? Jacob Black isn't known for 'hanging out' with girls, Evelyn. He fucks them. That's what he does."
Evelyn smirked to herself, "He doesn't date either, Jess."
Jessica remained silent; she knew Evelyn was right. Jacob Black had never been on a date. Unless you counted the occasional drink and dance at one of the clubs he frequented.
"Alright, fine. You're right about that," Jessica mumbled, "But we still have questions that need answers! I mean no offense Evie, but why would Jacob Black randomly want to hang out with you?"
"Wow Jess, thanks," Evelyn mumbled. "I don't know. Maybe because he feels sorry about the way he acted? He's also friends with my boss, so that could be it. Or wait! I have an idea! Maybe he just actually wants to hang out with me!" She said with fake enthusiasm.
Jessica sighed, "I didn't mean it like that, Evie. You're a great girl, and you're really pretty. Any guy would be dumb to not hang out with you, but this is Jacob Black we're talking about."
"People change, Jessica," Evelyn said. "Look I have to go. I have…stuff…to do." Jessica went to protest, but Evelyn had already hung up the phone. Evelyn sighed and laid the phone next to her. Was it so obscured to think that Jacob just wanted to hang out with her? Maybe it was, she thought to herself. After all, this was Jacob Black she was talking about, so why was she a little disappointed that it wasn't a date? She didn't like Jacob like that…did she? No, of course not. She wasn't even sure if they were friends. Evelyn groaned and rubbed her face. Why was everything so confusing?
?!
Jacob Black was going crazy; he was also driving everyone else crazy. It had been two days since the bonfire, and he had yet to hear from Evelyn. Why? Because Sam fucking Uley had him on patrol all the time. He said it was "good for him." That Jacob should spend some time away from Evelyn to gather his feelings. Fuck. That. He was going crazy! Jacob already knew how he felt about Evelyn; she was a friend, and he wanted to spend some time with his friend!
"What are you thinking about, Jacob?" Emily asked.
His pack members all smirked at each other and said in union, "Evelyn." Some of his pack mates even decided to make kissy noises at him. Jacob rolled his eyes, but didn't bother to deny.
Emily scolded them with an amused look on her face. "Boys, don't tease Jacob. He's very…sensitive right now," Emily said giggling followed by the roar of his pack mates laughing.
Jacob sighed. "Yeah, yeah laugh it up," He mumbled.
Emily smiled and gave Jacob a slight pat on the back. "We're just teasing sweetie. We all love Evelyn."
Jacob nodded, "Yeah, she's a good friend."
"Friend? That's it?" Embry asked frowning.
"Yeah, we thought that she was your girl now," Paul said smirking.
"Nope," Jacob said standing. "Just friends." Jacob looked around him. "I'm headed out. I have things to do." Jacob grabbed his keys and headed for the door, but not without hearing his pack mates wish him luck with Evelyn.
?!
For once it was sunny in Forks, and Evelyn was going to enjoy it by laying out in her hammock. She could feel the warm sun beating down on her face and relished in the feeling. She didn't care if it was half way through fall; the sun was out and it felt amazing. Evelyn sighed happily and turned the music further up on her iPhone. She was slowly starting to drift off to sleep when a scalding hot hand touched her shoulder. Startled, Evelyn screamed and fell out of the hammock. She ripped her headphones out of her ears and turned towards the sound of a person laughing at her. Evelyn glared slightly as her eyes focused on an amused looking Jacob Black. "You scared me you big buffoon!" She yelled hitting his leg.
Jacob smiled down at her and helped her off the ground. "I'm sorry," He said chuckling, "I didn't think you would freak out like that."
"Not freak out? Really Jake?" She asked putting her hands on her hips. She was going to continue, but stopped when she saw the look on his face. "Are you okay?"
"You called me Jake," He whispered.
Evelyn frowned, "Do you not like to be called that? I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"No, no it's fine. I just…I haven't let anyone call me that in a long time," Jacob said, cutting her off.
Evelyn nodded a little, "Okay, I won't do it again I promise."
Jacob wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close, "No, I want you to. I…like when you call me Jake."
Evelyn smiled up at Jake, "Alright then, Jake, what are you doing in my backyard?"
Jacob pretended to look offended and placed a hand on his heart, "A man can't come and see his friend?"
Evelyn smiled widely at Jake, "Friend huh?"
"Well, yeah," he said rubbing the back of his neck, "Unless…you don't want to be."
Evelyn smiled, "No, no. I think I would like to be friends with you, Jake."
Jake let out a relieved breath and smiled, "Good, me too."
For a while neither one of them spoke. Jacob kept his arm wrapped around Evelyn's waist and rubbed soothing circles on her back. They both just stood in each others arms staring at each other.
Finally, Evelyn broke their trance, "So, why are you here again?"
Jacob blinked his eyes a few times and then shook his head, "I um…I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk?"
Evelyn bit her lip, "In the woods?"
"Yeah," Jacob said smirking, "Why? Are you afraid, Red?"
Evelyn glared at him a little. "No...But…I mean…there's bears and wolves and things that could eat you in the woods," she mumbled.
Jacob chuckled and pulled Evelyn closer. "I'll protect you, Red," he whispered in her ear. Evelyn shivered and pushed Jake away. "Yeah, yeah you big buffoon. Let's go." Jake smiled down at her and rewrapped his arm around her waist as they walked into the woods; neither one aware of what was waiting for them in the woods.
