LOVING HER FROM AFAR
{TWILIGHT SERIES THROUGH THE EYES OF JAKE}
CHAPTER 1: BEAUTY IN EVERY MEANING OF THE WORD
I never know Isabelle Swan before that cold February day. She was beautiful and just as gorgeous as Charlie bragged about. I think I knew we were supposed to be together, if only I had turned out normal. It makes me laugh, but I guess everything ended well in the end.
Quil, Embry and I walked home from school. We were going to chill at my place till about dinner when their parents would call wondering why they weren't on top of their school work.
"So who's this girl your dad's been talking about?" Quil asked me.
"I don't know, she's Charlie's only daughter. She used to play with my sisters; I was too young to remember." I answered.
"So is she hot?" Embry asked.
I sighed, while Quil chuckled at the question.
"Bro, if I haven't seen her in years how would I know?" I asked Embry, who suddenly felt like an idiot.
"Yeah." Embry sighed and looked at his feet.
"Nice going there genius." Quil chuckled, earning himself a punch from Embry.
We got to my place and found my dad watching the news. Throwing our books on the floor, alerted him we were there and he rolled over to us.
"How's it going Mr. Black?" Quil asked him.
"Good Quil." My father smiled.
"Dad I was wondering if I could go to Port Angeles with the guys tonight to catch a movie?" I asked him.
"I can't have you staying out late tonight Jacob," he answered.
"Why dad? I realize it's only Monday but still I'm doing good in school. Just tonight come on, please?" I pleaded.
"Bella's flying in tomorrow and I want to go greet her, so you can accompany me. We're giving her the truck." My dad said.
"Dad you love that old truck. Do we really have to give it to some Arizona girl?" I complained.
"Charlie is one of my best friends and he wanted to surprise her. I can't really use it anymore anyway and I want you to be nice to her. Who knows, you guys could become great friends," he said.
I went to bed late that night. I stared out the window at the stars and I wondered what was out there? A gust of wind blew in the window and whipped around my neck, I had a feeling deep in my gut, something weird was about to happen. It's just one of those weird feelings you get and you know its right, you just don't understand how. I wolfed down my breakfast, since I had slept in on my dad. The one good thing about greeting Bella was I got out of school that morning. We arrived at the house and found Charlie's squad car parked in the front, signaling Bella's arrival. Charlie came down to greet us.
"Billy how's it going?" he asked my dad.
"Jacob look at growing like a weed," he chuckled.
"Yeah, we're trying to figure where this height is coming from.'" I laughed.
"So this is the truck then?" Charlie asked.
"Yep, this is her. I fixed up the engine and everything." I smiled, proud of myself.
"Amazing job Jacob, your dad wasn't sure if it'd run again." Charlie said.
"So, think she'll like it?" I asked him.
"She'll love it." Charlie smiled.
Bella made her out the front door and I couldn't believe my eyes. She was beauty in every meaning of the word. Charlie introduced us and she smiled politely. Charlie revealed the truck and she got really excited.
"I totally rebuilt the engine." I bragged, trying to impress her.
"That's awesome," she smiled.
"Told you she would like, I'm all hip with the kids." My dad smiled.
Charlie made a comment and my dad started chasing him with his chair.
"Are they always like this?" Bella asked me.
"It's getting worse with old age." I chuckled.
Bella went to open the door and accidently him me with it.
"Sorry," she apologized and opened the drivers' door.
I joined her in the car, to explain how to drive.
"Alright you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift, but besides that you should be good." I said.
"Do you want a ride to school or something?" she asked me.
"Well I go to school on the reservation." I said.
"Oh right, right. That's too bad, it would've been nice to know one person," she sighed.
"Well, I'll see you around." I smiled and got out of the car, as her dad explained where her school was.
My dad dropped me off at school around lunch time. I sat down with Quil and Embry.
"So?" Embry pried.
"So?" I asked in confusion.
"What's Isabelle like?" Embry asked.
"Bella." I corrected him.
"And?" Embry asked.
"Dude I just met her." I said.
"Jake, you better tell him everything before he blows a gasket." Quil chuckled.
"Fine. She's gorgeous, seems nice to. I didn't talk to her that much, but I'll let you know." I said.
"Oh, little Jakie's got a crush." Embry mocked me.
"Shut up bro." I told Embry and punched him on the arm.
I realize it's not much, I'm probably just gonna do the major Jake scenes for Twilight and then I'll have more for: New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. They'll get better I promise.
