Jacob POV

Why am I here? I should already be halfway to Port Angeles by now.

To be honest, I really was just moping around because my friends ditched me for some girls that they were dating in school. Quil and Embry were supposed to tag along with me to Port Angeles, so we could get some parts for my car that I was working on, but they cancelled on me at the last minute.

Sighing, I stood up straight after leaning from my old Chevy truck. My dad used to drive this before an accident caused him to be in a wheelchair. It had sentimental value but the thing's gotta go. It was too slow for me and I didn't think the truck's gonna last any longer. Maybe I can get enough from selling this thing so I could buy the parts that I needed to fix my Volkswagen Rabbit.

I was about to get in the truck when I remembered Quil's words earlier at school.

"C'mon Jacob, have some fun!"

"Fixing my car is my idea of fun." I pointed out. "Yeah, Yeah, we're not talking about tinkering with your toys" Embry joined in as he looked in the direction of some girls that we're coming out of the cafeteria.

Quil nudged him at the side and they went over to the girls to ask them out. I saw the girls giggle at something they said, and I couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought we were going to Port Angeles?!" I called to them.

"We are! We won't be long! Meet you at First Beach at Two!" Quil waived and I knew then, that was the last I'm going to see them today.

But I still came here anyway. I inhaled a lungful and smiled to myself. "Oh well, might as well get it over with."

I was about to get back in the car when I saw something flash in my peripheral vision. I looked around to see if anyone was there, but the beach was empty.

I looked up at the sky and there it was again. I scanned the area and my eyes traveled to the top of the cliff where we usually go cliff diving and there it was. Someone was up there, I didn't know who it was, but I didn't think it was someone from the reservation.

I jogged closer and I could faintly make out a figure of a woman standing dangerously close to the edge of the cliff and seeing that she was fully dressed, I didn't think she was up for some recreational cliff diving.

I ran as fast as I could until I reached the base of the cliff and started to walk my way up. When I reached the top, I saw a woman in her jeans and hoodie. Her hair that was up to her shoulders were swaying with the strong wind. My heart jumped. With her built, I was actually afraid that the wind would blow her away but she stood firmly at the edge of the cliff, not moving, except for her hand that was flipping some kind of watch. That must have been what caused the flash that I saw earlier.

I was hesitant to approach. Was she trying to jump off the cliff? If so, my approach might scare her, and she might make a misstep and fall to her death.

"The view here is really nice." The woman suddenly spoke, and I was surprised that she knew I was there. She turned towards me and I almost felt my heart pop out of my chest. She was beautiful. Her brown eyes were mesmerizing, and she didn't even make an effort to mesmerize me.

"It is" I answered. I wasn't sure if I was referring to the view or to her. I hope she didn't notice that. Get a grip of yourself Jacob! Be cool... I tried to tell myself. Geez Is this how it feels to like someone?
