It is finally the day of the Cullen's graduation party. I have decided on a pink, knee length dress, a black scarf, and some floral hair pieces. I grab a cute bangle, and I do my makeup.

A knock on my door alerts me that someone is here. I finish with the floral arrangement in my hair quickly and I walk quickly to the door. Jared is standing behind the door when I open  it. I go back to my room and I put my shoes on, black platforms. 

"You look great." Jared compliments me as I exit my room.

"Thank you, Jared." I smile. "You look nice, as well."

I hand Jared the keys to my truck, and he just grins.

"I have wanted to drive your truck since Sam bought it." Jared chants.

He gets in behind the wheel and he just keeps smiling. I get in the passenger's seat, and I fasten my seatbelt. I am not sure how good of a driver Jared is, so I have to be safe and cautious.

--

Turns out, Jared isn't too awful of a driver. He parks at the Cullen's, behind Bella's rusty truck. Jacob's vehicle pulls up behind my truck. A nice vehicle parked between two rust buckets.

Jared and I walk inside, and Rosalie immediately whips me away.

"You look amazing." Rosalie says. "Where did you get that dress?"

"Philadelphia." I reply. "My mom bought it for me right before she was diagnosed with cancer. Only a few hours before her doctors appointment."

"That is so sad!" Rosalie says in a sad tone. "The dress is sentimental!"

I nod as I sit on the couch. Rosalie brought us two to the second floor living room, the party isn't here. It is a little bit quieter, but the music is still kind of loud. Only humans come up, but they do to the kitchen for snacks. Esme is in there, cooking away for the party goers.

"I bet you feel great graduating." I smirk. "Again."

Rosalie smiles. "Graduation is always the best, every time we do it. Gets better every time."

I just laughs along with her before I decide to join the party again. I stand beside Jared at the end of the stairwell, with Jacob and Embry. Bella walks up.

"Thanks for coming, guys and Vanessa." Bella hugs me.

"I made you something." Jacob says.

It is a bracket, made of leather, and it has a wolf charm in the center of it. Jared puts his weight on me as we watch them talk.

"Guys!" Carlisle says to us silently. "Den, now."

I furrow my eyebrows as we follow Carlisle to the den. Esme and the other Cullen's are in here already. I have a seat between Jacob and Jared, nearest to the window, and nearest the tv. Carlisle sits in a chair. Emmett and Jasper are sitting together.

"Alrighty, Cullen." Jacob says in a snappy tone. "What's going on?"

"There is an army of newborn vampires coming after Bella." Alice replies. "I cannot see whose behind it."

"It might be Victoria." Bella pipes in.

"I would have seen her." Alice says.

"Not if she is hiding behind her changers." I say. 

They all look at me, then they go back into conversation. They actually take what I say into consideration. Victoria is smart.... She wouldn't plane something like this in the open, she knows Alice sees the future.

"Victoria wouldn't plan this out in the open, Alice." I say. "She knows you can see things before they happen."

"I'm in." Jacob says when the Cullen's talk about how hard it'd be to beat the newborn vampires.

"But Jacob, you'll get hurt!" Bella protests.

"Anything to kill a blood sucker." Jacob cracks his knuckles.

"You better see if Sam is willing to align with you to protect Bella." I say. "I'm pretty sure he will do it, but he is the alpha, Jacob."

"I know, I know, Vanessa." Jacob scowls.

I smile. "I'm going home. Come on Jared. I'm your ride."

"Let's go to Sam's."

"Lets pick up your truck first."

We pull up to my place and Jared hands me my key back. I get behind the wheel of my truck, and Jared gets behind the wheel of his. I pull out first, Jared follows me to Sam's.

"You look amazing." Sam says, kissing my head. "When will you be mine?"

"Whenever you ask." I say with a smirk, and I go inside the house.

I sit on the couch, not feeling like cooking. Emily walks in, for a visit. She goes to the kitchen so she an cook for us. Sam sits beside me.

"Fine." Sam whispers. "Will you be mine?"

"I would love to." I reply.

Jacob walks in, and he starts talking to Sam about our little meeting at the Cullen's. Sam is listening intently, and he agrees to align at the end of Jacob's little speech.

"Emily is here, and she's cooking." I say.

"I was heading home." Jacob says. "Rebecca is at home."

Jacob leaves, after he goes to say hi to Emily. Emily has made a homemade pizza and steak fries. What a combination. I smile as I eat.

"Sam, can I sleep over?" I ask.

"Yeah." Sam replies. "You already have clothes here."

I kiss his lips for the first time and I run to the bathroom. I can hear Jared's laughter from here. Forgetting something to sleep in, I go to Sam's room. I grab one of his shirts and some boxers, then I return back to the bathroom.

I run the hot water after laying Sam's clothes in wearing to bed on the counter beside the sink. I strip out of my dress and my party clothes. I take the flowers out of my hair. Once I am completely in the nude, I get under the water and turn a little bit of cold water on.

I finish my shower after fifteen minutes. I dry my hair with a towel and I brush out the tangles. I put on Sam's boxers and the t-shirt that fits me like a dress.

"Rachel was right about your legs." Jared mumbles. "Damn...."

I shake my head humorously and say my goodnights. I lay in Sam's back, as I spread out across it. Sam walks in and he just stares at me, humor in his eyes.

"Scoot that butt over." Sam says.

I move enough so he can fit. He strips to his boxers and he lays down behind me. He wraps his arms around me and he kisses the back of my head.

I roll over when dam finally lays on his back. I lay my head on his chest. I close my eyes and I drift off to sleep.
