It had been a long day of nothingness for Kenzie. No friends, no dance, no parents, but most of all...no Jon. Her absent boyfriend was more or less the main reason for her morose feeling of melancholy. Since discovering that he was not only a wolf, but one of the protectors of his tribe, Kenzie had been feeling somewhat on edge. She worried about him being on patrol all the time and missed him terribly. But, this week especially had her depressed. Her parents had taken a cruise to Alaska, leaving her behind at the house alone. Most of her dance training was put off because Katelyn had to go with her parents to Seattle to visit her grandmother and Lucy was not available. So, Kenzie was stuck on her own to entertain her own time. And that was easier said than done in a town as small as Forks with literally nothing to do for people her age.
Deciding to get out of the house, Kenzie grabbed her car keys and headed out to La Push. She knew Jon would be on patrol, but at least she could sit at First Beach and enjoy the waves. When she arrived, she began walking along the shore and thought of the first time she and Jon ever met. It was on this very beach. She remembered how intent he was on getting to know her and how frightened she had been of this persistent guy, only to find that she would totally fall in love with him down the line. No one knew her better than him, nor made her feel the way he did. Jon was her soulmate and there was no doubting that...ever. The more she walked, she hugged into her raincoat and wished that Jon were there to keep her warm. His unswerving body temperature was so useful at times like this.
Just when she was thinking of how unusually chilly it was for a summer day, she saw a girl sitting on the beach in shorts. How in the world is she not freezing to death? she silently wondered as she approached the girl. She had never seen her before, at least not in Forks or in all her time spent down in La Push. Kenzie knew she had to be someone who just recently moved and she understood what it was like to be the new girl in a place like this. When she got to the point where she was standing right in front of the girl, she smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Kenzie. Are you new around here?"

I'VE BEEN DYING INSIDE________________________________________________ [/b]Amelia mumbled. "Yeah, I'm new to live here. I'm not new to the area." The girl quickly flashed a tiny, nervous smile. Amelia was still pretty unfamiliar with people not knowing her, she'll get use to it soon. The brunette lifted herself from the sand, it was making crunching sounds underneath her fingers. The sand must have been wet. It should have made her feel colder, but she still felt extremely hot. "I'm Amelia. Amelia George." She offered a hand to shake. "Nice to meet you." Amelia noticed that girl also covered herself in jacket, and that she was notably shorter than her. Everyone was shorter Amelia, how should this be any different? People complimented her height back in New York, and told she should be a model. But she always said no, she knew that would never be her destiny.[/ul][/size] |

Kenzie watched as the new girl stood up before her and offered her hand to shake. Taking it and smiling at the girl as she introduced herself as Amelia, Kenzie immediately felt the intense temperature of the Amelia's hand. It was burning, just as Jon's own body was all the time. Kenzie stood there and wondered for a moment if the girl standing before her was a wolf like her boyfriend. As things began to piece together in Kenzie's mind, she took note of several differences in Amelia's appearance. Firstly was the obvious body temperature difference, then the indifference to the chilly summer day, and Amelia was also somewhat taller than Kenzie. All of these were beginning to make Kenzie truly wonder. However, she pushed those thoughts away and made a mental note to ask Jon about it later.
"So you just moved here huh?" she asked, making light conversation. "It's always tough to be the 'new girl' in town. I moved here about two years ago, but I live in Forks which is about fifteen miles from here." Kenzie hoped that by just continuing their conversation, she would make Amelia feel a little more at home. She remembered being the new girl and how it helped that people would talk to her and include her in conversations.

I'VE BEEN DYING INSIDE________________________________________________ [/b] Amelia smiled, "I live between La Push and Forks." Light conversation was easy for the seventeen year old. She had way too much of it back in New York, always being surrounded by people. "I'm going to start to attend Forks High School in a couple of days. But I'm pretty sure you graduated already, right?" Amelia smiled. Kenzie did have what looked like a very mature look about her, unlike Amelia. "But yeah, I'm pretty familiar with Forks."[/ul][/size] |

Kenzie noticed that Amelia was a little nervous by her looking over her, so she quickly just smiled and pulled her coat tighter around her little body. This would be the perfect time for Jon to show up, she thought to herself against the chatter of her chilled frame. It was unusually cold for the middle of summer. Just as the wind kicked up, she hugged herself to keep warm from the sea spray. All of this, however, seemed to not affect Amelia at all. This was definitely a time when she wished that her body temperature was as high as her boyfriend's. Kenzie hated the cold for all intents and purposes because she was not good at fending it off, but it did make for better snuggling weather with Jon. Another smile spread across her face as she thought about her boyfriend.
She laughed at Amelia's question about graduating high school. "No, I haven't actually graduated," she said. "This will be my senior year thought. I turn eighteen in September." Kenzie knew that her birthday was going to be exciting as she was the first in the trio of herself, Katelyn, and Lucy to turn eighteen, so the celebration was going to be grand. "My boyfriend graduated last year though," she continued. "He lives out here in La Push, so I'm nearly always down here for some reason or another." A light giggle escaped her lips as she thought of how often she actually was down in La Push at Jon's house.

I'VE BEEN DYING INSIDE________________________________________________ [/b]Amelia smile energetically. "But I'm 17, they said they would bump me up because of the lack of honors courses." Oh crap was Amelia bragging? She certainly wasn't trying to. Better shut up after that. Amelia listened to Kenzie about her boyfriend. That was sweet. She wish she could find someone to get a such a connection with them. It was like she incapable of having such a connection. There were so many guys in New York, and she turned each and every one of them down because they didn't give that feeling. The feeling that she has to be with them, and she knows that is the feeling she is waiting for. Her mom had that feeling with her dad, and Aunt Teresa said she was still looking for that feeling. Why was she searching for something that her family wanted? Because she is meant to. "You'll probably find me here a lot then." Amelia said after Kenzie's little giggle about being at La Push a lot. "My Aunt has this need to come here, and she drags me a long." Amelia rolled her eyes. She looked out to the ocean for a second time. "This beach is my favorite place in the whole world." She said in almost a mumble.[/ul][/size] |

Smiling again, Kenzie knew that Amelia seemed like the sweetest girl. Being the new girl in town was never an easy thing and Kenzie knew that all too well. She had been there once before, two years previously when her parents uprooted her from Seattle and all she had known for the vast majority of her life, just to move her down to Forks so her father could take the job as the Chief of Police. Back then, she would have eagerly taken anywhere else in the world over Forks, Washington. But now she couldn't see herself anywhere else for the time being all because of one person...Jon. When he walked into her life, everything else ceased to matter. Trivial things became just that...stupid and trivial. Everything about her relationship with Jon made her smile for no reason throughout the day. He made her comletely blissful. With him, she felt like the Kenzie she always had been instead of the ghost she had become after moving to Forks.
Hearing that Amelia was a senior as well, Kenzie nodded and grinned. "That's really neat that you're a senior a year early," she said. "Most people wouldn't think to skip a grade even though everyone's dying to leave high school by this age." A suble hint of laughter escaped Kenzie's throat as she thought of how ready she was to leave high school behind for something new. Finishing high school was high on her list of priorities as was starting her dance class up again for the fall with Katelyn and Lucy. Dance was her passion and she wanted to keep persuing that as long as she could. She could not wait to start rehearsing for the fall showcase that could possibly land her a job in a dance company after graduation; her dream since she was old enough to remember dance.
Taking one or two steps in no particular direction, Kenzie felt the breeze wafting from the ocean and smiled. "I come here quite a bit myself," she replied. "It is one of the best places around this area and it kind of has a special meaning to me since this is where I met my boyfriend Jon." A shy smile trespassed on her lips as she spoke of Jon and wished he were there with her. She missed the warm caress of his skin against her own and how he could keep her warm even in the coldest weather. "I had come out here one afternoon to get away from school and family...and he kind of found me," she giggled. Her heart was holding onto her most recent memory with Jon and hoping that she would see him soon.

The deep emerald greens and chocolate browns of the forest melted into an irrelevant, vague palette as Jon's paws thudded mutely in his house's direction, claws digging into the rich earth as the clenching and relaxing of muscle unnecessarily warmed away any cold the unnaturally cool summer wind could have served him. Before he knew it, the forest whooshed away behind him as he launched into the clearing just in front of his house, and taking a huge leap for his front porch, he phased back into his human form and, only barely tripping in his landing, he seamlessly sprinted to his door, pushing open the already unlocked and slightly ajar wooden door and dashing to his room to throw on the first pair of tattered joggers he saw.
Even now, and week and some-odd days after the whole incident, Jon was still on a total high: his girlfriend knew what he really was, and what's more, she accepted it. It had taken her some time to process it, but she understood. And in the end, she still loved him. The very thought was an emotional rush unto itself. He didn't even want to touch the fact that she was alive...
He nearly skipped back to his front door, barely even registering the surprisingly cold wind that was blowing freely through it as he stepped through to lean against his front porch's railing. The fact remained that he still probably wouldn't be able to see Kenzie today, but at least he was off patrols--
His heart gave an almighty leap: on the lightest touch of the wind's fingertips lay a faint lingering of sandalwood and lavender. The wind was coming from the beach.
In a heartbeat, he was fully on his feet and jogging for the sand, looking like a child at Christmastime looking for presents up and down the beach. To the left, quite down a ways, stood two figures: one a small bit fuller than Kenzie's and somewhat shorter, the other...
Without delay, Jon was nearly sprinting towards the two figures- namely, the one he knew so well- and before he knew it, he was coming up to Kenzie on her right, her perfect figure all he could keep his eyes on. "Hey there, stranger," he greeted as he neared, his run bouncing to a slow walk a few yards away and finally stopping two or three feet from her. She'd yet to say anything, and he was already smiling like a total idiot.

The thought of Jon overwhelmed her mind completely until she could literally see his face in her mind's eye. Her heart beat faster with the thought of him being so close, yet so far away. She wanted to hear the hear the low gruff of his voice against her ear, feel the warmth of his skin against her own, and his lips on her own. Everything about him made her want to jump and fly with joy as the butterflies filled her stomach each time they were together. And even though he gave her butterflies, she felt like she could never be herself around anyone else but him. Her heart was etched forever with the name Jonathan Whiteman on it. No one else could ever have a claim on her the way he did and she would never want anyone else to.
Just as she thought she couldn't think anymore about him, she heard the most beautiful sound in the whole entire world walk up behind her. Turning around, she saw the most heavenly sight she could have ever seen. Her boyfriend was walking toward her on the beach. Without thinking, she squealed with delight and took off to close the gap between the two of them. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she felt the instant warmth of his body against her own. It was total bliss and perfection as her whole world was right in front of her now. "Heya back," she whispered against his chest.
Turning around back to Amelia a few moments later, she decided it would be best if she introduced the two so that it wouldn't be too awkward that she just took off to some random guy. "Jon, this is my new friend Amelia," she said. "Amelia, this is my wonderful boyfriend Jon." Kenzie knew that her day couldn't possibly get any better now that her reason for existence was there with her.
