A/N: My first Twilight story: Pairing - Nessie and Jacob, although an OC comes in the way. Bear with me, I am used to writing Harry Potter fanfiction, but hopefully this one will be good too. Let me know what I can do to make things better :)

My Jacob

Chapter One: Leaving

Of everything bizarre in my world I am undeniably the strangest. Yes, there were others like me but they weren't around at all. Although I acknowledged this fact and had long since accepted it, there were other things on my mind. We were moving to Seattle tomorrow because last week, Mom had unfortunately run into her friend from High School. Although she and Dad were quite sure Mike Newton would trick himself into believing that she looked older and had not gotten unnaturally beautiful, Grandpa Carlisle thought it would be best if we moved on. I had grown to full maturity though I was only fifteen and it was time that I started High School. I should've started ages ago but mentally Dad and Carlisle seemed to think I was already too advanced to learn with people my age. There was of course also the fact that I resembled both my mother and father too fiercely to ever go to school in the Forks. I was excited of course, to finally expand my acquaintances to more than just family members and such, but there was one problem.

Jacob. My Jacob. There hadn't been a day in my life that had gone by that my best friend hadn't been over and it was rigidly difficult to even imagine that changing. He had promised me that he would run there every night, any time I needed him but the fact that he looked more cut up than I did underneath it all, did little for my mood.

We were at the big house, our bags already packed and ready to go in the Volvo. I didn't understand why Mom didn't want to take one of the fun cars, but Dad promised I'd have my pick when I passed my driver's test in Seattle. I was sitting in the living room, pretending to watch the Mariners game on TV with Uncle Emmett, but really tuning in to the conversation that was taking place in the kitchen. For tremendously intelligent vampires, my family seemed to forget that just like them, the walls of a room were no barrier for my super sensitive hearing. Seeing my glazed over look, Emmett turned up the volume on the television, hoping to drown out the conversation in the next room. Aunt Rosalie covered her ears in disgust but said nothing as she idly played with hair, looking more human than I'd ever seen her. The sound of the television was easy to ignore, especially since the voices in the next room had been raised.

"You just don't get it Edward…taking her away? Taking her away from me…it's going to…" he stopped mid sentence but Dad had obviously heard everything in his head.

"I know Jacob," he replied sadly to the unspoken words. "If there was any other way, believe me we'd want to stay too. Contrary to popular belief, we don't enjoy uprooting our family."

"This blows," Jacob said huffily and I heard a hint of a growl.

"Jake, pull yourself together! Seattle's only an hour's run at most. It could be worse, we could've moved to L.A!" Mom said making the three of them chuckle.

L.A. With its sunny days and warm weather. I wrinkled my nose at the thoughts. I much preferred the cold and the snow and especially the rain. The smell in the air was gorgeous. The only thing about the sun that appealed to me was the sparkle on my family's skin when they stood in the rays. I used to make Dad stand there for hours in the meadow, it was beautiful. I had wished fervently to look that way but as I grew, I knew I was the lucky one. I would always blend in better than the others. Smiling a little, I tried to listen again, wondering if Jake might give away a little more of his feelings about us leaving. He was taking our separation too lightly. He was always cheerful when he talked about it, making it seem like I was only moving houses instead of towns. I knew he had to stay. He hadn't finished school yet, having taken a break for almost fourteen years, so he had to finish. I'd heard Mom say I'd outgrow him if I knew more and that seemed to have the desired impact on Jake. He'd be a senior while I was entering as a sophomore. What no one seemed to realize was that I'd never outgrow Jake. Unfortunately, my thoughts were cut off by the appearance of my Aunt Alice, who danced into the room with a wide, knowing smile on her face. Uncle Jasper was smiling too, shaking his head as he joined Emmett on the sofa and watched Alice sit beside me.

"Nessie, don't you want to put a jacket on?" she asked, a grin playing at her lips. I was confused.

"Why Alice?" I asked her but she just smiled and looked at the kitchen door. A moment later, my parents emerged with Jacob still looking tense, but more agreeable.

"Ness, want to go for a walk?" Jake asked me, coming over.

"It's supposed to be cold out Rennesme, don't forget a sweater," Mom said throwing me one. I fought to roll my eyes. Why was I the only one who felt temperature in this twisted extended family?

I glanced at Alice who was still grinning and I muttered, "Show off!"

She laughed at my petulancy and went to sit in Jasper's lap. Dad was watching Jacob carefully as always and I knew he was reading his thoughts. Jacob winced and closed his eyes, obviously trying to clear his head to keep his thoughts a secret from Dad. I saw Dad smile his crooked smile at Mom and as they always did, looked undeniably in love. It was always a strange feeling, seeing two people who were so completely my parents in both spirit and actuality, but at the same time see two people who looked very much like they could go to school with me. We hadn't completely figured out the quirks yet, but Carlisle had suggested that Dad and Mom pose as students too. I hadn't had the chance, but I was definitely not going to agree to that one.

"Don't be late Rennesme," Dad said ruffling my hair a little. We both laughed. They all knew that even if I was late, I couldn't be safer with anyone than I was with Jacob.

"When are we leaving?" I asked.

"Probably about midnight," Carlisle said from the dining room table. He seemed to still be making arrangements for our new life as Esme smiled as she packed up the silk rugs carefully. Grandma would have a lot of fun redecorating the new house, I was sure.

"You can sleep in the car," Dad added and I shrugged. Sure, I slept but how could I when I knew while I slept, I'd only be moving further and further from my best friend in the whole world.

"Let's go Ness," Jake said a bit impatiently holding out his hand. I took it and followed him from the house.

"Where should we go?" I asked him, but his expression was horribly grim.

"Far enough so no one can hear us talk…or think," he muttered as an afterthought and I almost heard my father chuckle.

"So will we run?" I asked.

"No, you're too slow," he said bluntly.

I was mortally offended. Sure, I was faster than the average human but truthfully I could only keep up with the best of the Olympic runners. My family and Jacob were far, far superior physically but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that Jake, never, ever had made it seem like a handicap before.

He seemed to notice my annoyance and immediately softened.

"Aw Ness, I'm sorry. I just have a lot on my mind."

I sighed and touched his face showing him exactly what he looked and sounded like. I carefully tried to hide the fact that I was utterly confused by his behavior.

He sighed deeply and looked more apologetic. "Let's wait to talk, ok?"

I shrugged again and stopped. "So how are we getting far away Jacob? Are you going to phase? Will I have to ride you?" I asked in irritation. Suddenly, his face reddened and he looked entirely flustered.

"Uh...ah…" he stammered, staring at me and dropping my hand. I was puzzled…was it something I said? It got all the more confusing when Dad came storming out of the house, walking with controlled briskness towards us.

"Crap," Jake muttered looking at his feet. What on earth was going on here!?

"Jacob. Take my car and go to La Push. I won't hear you there," Dad said through gritted teeth.

"Why…is…"

"Ness, shut up," Jacob said quickly and grabbed my hand again, taking the keys.

"Thanks Edward."

My father just glared and watched me with concern.

"Dad…really, calm down. I'm with Jacob!" I said soothingly as my wolf pulled me away to the garage.

"Exactly what I'm worked up about…" Dad murmured before nodding and walking back to the house.

"Hungry?" Jacob asked when we pulled in front of his house at La Push.

"You want to go hunting?" I asked.

"No I was thinking more like really rare steak," he said with a laugh.

I laughed too. "Yeah, I suppose I could do with that."

He grinned his wonderful, happy, carefree grin and went to the refrigerator to retrieve the meat. I sat at the table running my hands over the checkered tablecloth. Billy had clearly not washed it in a while. It was grayish yellow where I was quite certain it ought to be white.

"Jake, you really ought to keep a better eye on your dad. This tablecloth is filthy."

He laughed. "Oh I know, but you know…human eyes, he probably washed it a couple days ago. Ness, you really don't need to worry. My Dad is a grown man, he takes care of himself."

"And I'm a grown girl," I said as he put the rare steak in between us.

He smiled. "Yeah, but I like taking care of you."

I smiled too, shyly, eating the steak. It was one of the few human foods I actually enjoyed and not just dealt with. I ate my full before pushing the plate to him. We always did it this way when we shared, knowing if he ate at the same time, I would never have enough time to eat my full.

He finished quickly and I watched him drop the plate into the sink and wipe his mouth with the back of his hand. He was so different from my vampire family. No manners, but perfectly polite. I would miss him terribly. Suddenly without my knowledge, tears started to fall from my eyes.

"No, no, Ness! Why are you crying?" he asked desperately, over to my side in a flash.

"What will I do without you?" I mumbled through my tears. I looked at him through my lashes, seeing his expression change from concern to depression. His voice was tight as he answered.

"You'll never be without me Ness," he mumbled pushing my hair off my face gently.

"And you promise you'll come every night? I won't drink as much blood if I know I can have dinner with you every night," I said wiping my tears away roughly.

"I'll be there every night I promise," he whispered pulling me close into his warm, large body. I sighed in a bittersweet way as I heard him murmur, "And it still won't be enough."
