Disclaimer: I do not own the amazing characters or marvelous places from Stephanie Meyer's the Twilight Saga however I do own my characters and plot line of this story such as Zoe, Liam, their mom, and what other character you peoples don't recognize.
Hey! I wanted to point out that this begins in Twilight and quickly moves through New Moon to Eclipse and then Breaking Dawn.
Today was the day I was going to tell him how I really felt about him. I may just be a pale face but I'm sure he doesn't mind because we've been best friends since we were little kids and he was even my boyfriend once. Well, we we're like, fourteen and it didn't last long but ever since then I have been in love with him. Even after we broke up, we were still there for each other like we were before anything happened, no matter what.
I opened the door to the Black's tiny home and found Jake's dad glued to the T.V. He smiled up at me from his wheelchair when he saw me.
"Hey Billy. Where's Jake?" I asked.
"He's out in the garage. He actually asked me to call you." My heart sped up a little and I tried to hide my smile as I kissed his cheek and thanked him. I closed the door behind me and took a deep breath. I zipped my blue hoodie and put the hood up since it randomly started rain again. I stepped out into the rain and into a puddle. Great, now I have mud all over me. That's attractive.
"Hey Jake…Jake?" I closed the door behind me and looked around the seemingly vacant garage.
"Helloooo?"
"This isn't funny Jake! Where the hell are you?" I was annoyed now. I crossed my arms and tapped my foot.
Suddenly two arms came up from behind me and wrapped themselves around me. I instinctively jabbed my elbow bow into my attacker's groin. He immediately released me and fell to the ground. The figure whimpered and moaned.
"W-Why did you do that?" He cried from behind me. I spun around and my eyes grew wide when they met Jake's tear filled ones.
"Oh my gosh. Jake! I'm so sorry!" I knelt beside him caressed his cheek.
"It's okay. I'll be fine…maybe." He forced a small smile before scrunching up his face in pain once more.
"You idiot! You know that scaring me like that would result in a painful groin injury!" I smacked his chest. Damn…this is not how I wanted this to go.
"Can you get up?" I asked.
"Yeah. I think so." He sat up and I stood to hold my hand out to him. He grabbed it and pulled him up.
I chuckled a little when he looked at me again.
"Are you…crying?"
"Shut up…" He looked away and wiped his eyes.
"I'm sorry." I pulled him into a hug and I felt a few tears escaped from his eyes and down my neck.
"It's alright." He chuckled a little.
"I have to tell you something Jake." I said nervously.
"Okay. Shoot." He said flashing his sparkly white Jacob smile at me. I bit my lower lip and looked down. Shit…I forgot what I was going to say. Damn that smile of his…
"Uh…well…" I'm an idiot.
"What is it?"
"Uh…I forgot…"
"Okay…Oh yeah! I have to tell you something. So there's this girl right…" He's not…
"Uh-huh. Go on." I stepped a little closer to him.
"And she is the most amazing girl. She's kinda pale-ish, and simple but she's amazing all the same."
"Mhm." I smiled.
"I mean, I'm just so happy that Bella's back!" He threw his hands in the air and he looked like he was on cloud nine.
"Bella?" I swallowed the lump in the back of my throat.
"Yeah. Remember how we used to play with her all the time when were little?"
"Not really…"
"Oh…Well she just moved back in with her dad. I think she's going to stay for awhile." He added happily.
"I'm…happy for you Jake. I really am." I lied.
"Thanks. Do you remember what you wanted to tell me yet?" He ran his hands through his long inky black hair and shoved his hand in his pocket. I looked at the floor and took a deep breath.
"It doesn't matter now. I…I have to go. I'll see you later Jake." He shrugged and pulled me into a hug. I buried my head into his neck and I was overcome with the smell of diesel and the woods, typical Jake scent.
"Bye." He whispered. I pulled away and turned before he could see my face. I shoved my hands in my pockets and prepared to walk home alone.
"Wait Zo!" Jake called out to me.
"What?" I called without stopping or even turning around to look at him.
"Zo-e! Wait!" I heard him splash through the puddles closer and closer to me.
"What's wrong?" He asked me over the rain.
"Nothing Jake. Just go home." I sped up.
"I know you Zoe. I know when you are upset. Tell me what's wrong." He took my arm and spun me around to look at him.
"Why are you crying?" He wiped the tears away with his russet thumb.
"I'm not. It's…the rain." I sniffled and looked back at the ground.
"You're lying to me." I tried to look away but he forced me to look at him.
"Did something happen with you and your Mom? I heard that she's been tough on you lately." He asked.
"Yeah. She's been so oblivious to the way I feel lately and it's killing me." I lied.
"Oh well, if you ever need a place to escape to, you know that Dad is more than happy to have you over." Of course not. He slung his arm around me and walked me home.
"Well, this is me." I said as we arrived at my small house in Forks.
"Thanks for walking me home Jake." I lent up and kissed his cheek, causing him to blush.
"You're welcome. I'll see you later. Bye Zo." He smiled his famous Jacob smile that immediately warmed my body and made my knees grow weak.
"Bye Jake." He turned around and headed back home.
I stood on my porch and watched him leave. When he was far enough, my knees finally give out. I sobbed and wrapped my arms around my body to keep me from falling apart.
I heard the door open and someone gasp but I didn't care.
"Zoe, what's wrong? What happened?" My sister said also falling to her knees and pulling me into a tight hug.
"He-he…she's…Bella's back and-and he…I mean…why?" I sobbed and buried my face deeper into her sweatshirt.
"Who? Bella Swan? Doesn't she live with her mom?"
"Apparently not. Jake sees her one time and bang! He's head over heels for the chick." I sniffled and fell back into her lap.
"It's his loss sweetheart. Let's go inside. My boyfriends Ben and Jerry are calling our names." She pulled me to my feet and dragged me inside.
She wrapped a huge towel around me and sat me down on the couch while she got us Rocky Road paired with two spoons. She turned on the radio and we sang along to Taylor Swift's Teardrops on my Guitar.
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and I need
And everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without
Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
Just change the name Drew to Jake and it's perfect. Well, I don't play guitar and he's not in love…I hope.
"Girls! I'm home!" My mom yelled bursting through the door with groceries in each arm.
"There's…a new look." She frowned.
"What you really mean is 'Damn you look like shit'." I sound really weird with a stuffy nose.
"No that's not what I meant. Did Jacob do this to you?" I flinched when she said his name, giving it away.
"That's it! I'm calling his father." She dropped the bags on the table, grabbed the phone and dialed their number viciously.
"They're not going to answer." I pointed out shoving a spoonful of chocolately heaven into my mouth. Jake's always with the guys or in the garage and Billy doesn't like to get the phone when the game is on.
"No this isn't Zoe, this is her mother. Billy, she's in lo…" I jumped over the back of the couch and leaped for the phone.
"Sorry Billy, Mom is on a new medication and she's kinda losing her mind." I quickly defended myself while choking on ice cream.
"It's okay. I know how you feel."
"I-I…"
"Don't worry kid. I won't tell him."
"Thanks Billy."
"And don't worry about this Bella thing. I'm sure his little crush on her will blow over soon."
Boy was he wrong.
