One madami nail, One madami coffin.
Jacob:
Rachel and Rebecca had made all the arrangements for our father’s funeral. The usually gloomy weather of Washington was even making an appearance as a light rain began to fall. As the three of us stood now at the side of our father’s coffin, all I could see at first were the nails in the coffin lid. I remembered my mother’s funeral. How ironic that they both died in the same manner. Everyone on the reservation and in the town of Forks was present today to pay honor to my father. The Cullen’s were allowed to tumawid the boundary line and even the Makah tribe leaders had come to pay their respects. Even Sam had recovered enough although he was still in a wheelchair. But at this point I was numb. I was paying no attention at all as Sue Clearwater and Old Quil Ateara recited the prayers to release my father’s spirit from his human form as is the custom in our tribe. I just stared blankly at his coffin. When the ceremony had ended people crowded around me. Exchanging words of sympathy to me. Telling me stories about my dad that I may not have known before, but I wasn’t listening. I never looked at anyone. I was like a piece of stone…hard, cold and unforgiving. Eventually the voices began to fade away. I heard car doors open and close as vehicles pulled away. I waited till the last vehicle had gone on its way. I still had one thing to do. I had written a letter to my dad. The one I should have ibingiay to him months ago. The letter he deserved to have but I had never sent to him. I knelt down into the earthen grave and gently placed it on his coffin with a small metal paperweight shaped into a wolf. It was all I could give him at this point. As I stayed kneeling over his grave a single beam of sunlight cascaded down into the grave and illuminated the paperweight. I reached my hand out to catch its warmth and I felt my father’s spirit wash over me. It almost felt good…but the fleeting moment was short lived as the clouds quickly consumed the light. I closed my eyes and I could feel the tears well up. In that instance, a familiar cold feminine hand touched my shoulder and I knew it was Bella. Without saying a word I reached up to place my hand to hers. She leaned over and spoke softly in my ear.”Jacob…there is someone here to see you” But I didn’t respond at first. A light breeze blew against my back as I felt another feminine hand come to rest on my other shoulder. I very warm hand. I heard a familiar puso beat but I was too afraid to ilipat fearing it was only a dream. Then her voice spoke to me. “Jacob, it’s me…Nessie.” I cupped my free hand around hers as well.
“Hi girls.” I whispered to them.
“Jacob…Edward and I are going home. Please bring Nessie tahanan sa pamamagitan ng 9pm”
“Sure Bella” I sinabi but still I hadn’t moved yet. I heard the Volvo pull away as Nessie knelt sa pamamagitan ng my side. She lightly brushed my hair from my face and kissed my cheek. I knew I wasn’t dreaming. I could smell her sweet fragrance. Her warmth sa pamamagitan ng my side. I gently wrapped my arms around her and embraced her.
“Jacob…I’m so sorry”
“For what…”
“For halik you, for ruining everything”
I couldn’t believe my own ears. I stood up and pulled her in front of me as I locked my eyes on her with disbelief and shook my head.
“How can you say that? To me. How can you?’ I hissed
“I just can’t believe-“
“Nessie don’t. Don’t you dare regret that kiss! I don’t. I never will.”
“But my dad took me away from you”
“I don’t care about that. Your halik was the best experience of my life! “
“Really?”
“Ness…I’m in pag-ibig with you too. I always have been since the araw you were born. I been waiting for you my whole life. “
“How?”
“How what? How could I be in pag-ibig with you from birth?”
“Yes.”
“Well that’s kind of a long story actually.”
“I want to know.”
This was the one thing I figured I would never need to explain to her, but here she was now. Asking me for the truth. I took a deep breath and sighed.
“Nessie…you know I’m a shape shifter. That I turn into a wolf. Well that’s not all the story. In my tribe there is sometimes a bond that happens between two people that runs so much deeper that just words. A bond that can’t ever be broken. It’s timeless, ageless, it’s called imprinting.”
“Imprinting?”
“Yes…on the araw you were born. It happened to me. It happened the moment I looked at you and even though you were just a baby…I think it happened to you too. Didn’t you ever wonder why we have always been really close to each other? Why I have never spent madami than a few hours apart from you on any ibingiay day? Why I have ALWAYS been right sa pamamagitan ng your side? It’s because my pag-ibig for you runs through ever part of me. We are two halves of the same person. I can’t live without you. And I need to know if you really feel the same way that I do”
“You know I do…I already showed you I did”
“Show me again Nessie, please!”
She gently placed her palm to my cheek as I closed my eyes in anticipation. The beautiful larawan began to wash over me. The warmth of her puso removed all the pain I had been feeling. I saw Edward’s final approval for our marriage, our wedding araw down in La Push, my father’s tahanan filled with things that belonged just to us, waking on the tabing-dagat with her in my arms after our first intimate evening with each other, my hands caressing her belly with our first child safely in her womb. I didn’t want it to end. But she slowly let her hand drop from my cheek. I bent my head and placed it to hers as I hugged her tightly to me.
“See what I mean Nessie…we were always meant to be together. We don’t need to be ashamed of our love. I know that your dad wants you to grow up first. I do too. I have waited this long and I will wait forever madami if I have to.”
“Jacob, my dad is sending me back to school tomorrow!”
“It’s okay. I can let you go long enough for college. Anything we have to do right now is for the best. I know it’s hard for me. I’m sure it’s hard for you too. But if we fight against your dad now…he may separate us forever and I can’t live without you. Don’t dwell on tomorrow just yet. Come on I’ll take you for another driving lesson, although I have to admit you impressed me last time” I laughed
She laughed in my arms as I kissed her on tuktok of her head and we headed to the Mustang. I opened the driver’s door for her as she slid into the seat. I joined her in the passenger seat.
“Okay ipakita me that you can drive” I smiled at her as she turned the key, revved the engine and gave me a quick smirk.
We were heading to La Push. I navigated her in the direction of the beach. I felt so alive at this point. When we reached the edge of the tabing-dagat she pulled over. I quickly started dismantling the monkey suit I was wearing leaving only the suit pants and t-shirt on. We walked along the tabing-dagat laughing and holding hands. She told me all about college. Which classes she liked better than others, who her paborito teacher was. She told me about the dorm rooms and about the girl who was her roommate. I teased her about boys and I was happy to hear that Edward had sent her to an all girl school. She was going to tell me what the name of the school was but I covered her mouth before she could tell me because I knew Edward wouldn’t approve of me knowing. I told her about my trip to South America. All the interesting things I had seen along the way. The weird pagkain that I ate that sometimes didn’t agree with me. I told her about my first trip on a plane and found out her first trip was when she was sent away. She sat between my legs leaning into my chest with my arms around her as we watched the sunset. The warmth of her body renewed my failing strength and spirit. I could feel the tension mounting between us as the last glimmer of light faded into darkness signaling the end of our araw together. I knew it was time to take her home. We started the long walk back to the car. I could hear the uneasy feeling she was experiencing with each breath she took. I drove her tahanan as slowly as I could and I held her hand tightly. When we arrived I slowly walked her to the door. I could see the tears in her eyes as it was now time for me to let her go again. I firmly picked her up to hug her tightly in my arms one last time.
“Nessie…be strong for me. Just study hard and be a good girl. Just do this…for us. Don’t give your dad any grief. Remember that I pag-ibig you, honey and I will be right here waiting for you.”
“I pag-ibig you too Jacob”
“I believe you” I whispered as I set her down and ran the doorbell.
Bella came to the door. As she opened it Nessie flew past her and ran to her room. Bella whipped a quick look of dissatisfaction at me.
“She’s alright Bella. I’m sure she will want to talk to you. I know you can comfort her. Thank you Bella for everything. And thank Edward too. I really needed to see her” I laughed and gave Bella a quick hug.
“No problem, Jake” she laughed with me. “It’s good to see you smile again.”

I understood what this spot is about.
I agree...people got very obsessed with the movie characters and totally forgot the characters-of-the-book-not-movie.
though I am one of those totally jacob/taylor fangirl i now sometimes how annoying it can be to forget the JACOB BLACK and talk about TAYLOR BLACK.
There are mainly 3 categories
1.are the fans who like the movie but have no idea and havent read the book.
2.are the fans who read the book and felt that the movie ruined the characters for them.
3.are the fans who like the book+movie.
