Heart Broken Ch 1
Jennifer POV:
I stared out her window and listened to the noises from downstairs. Why were there always people at Sam's house? Why couldn't they go home to their own homes to eat? Even though Sam is the Alpha of the pack, the others can return home to eat too. I sighed.
"Jennifer!" Emily called. "Come down for dinner!" Slowly, I got up and walked down the steps. I paused at the bottom and looked into the kitchen. Sam was there talking with Paul, Embry and Jared. I entered the kitchen and looked around, disappointed. Jacob Black was nowhere to be found. I sighed and took a seat.
"Hey Jennifer," Jared said. Embry nodded in my direction.
"Hey Jenny," Paul said. I frowned at him.
"Hey Jared, hey Pauline." I said. Paul growled at me and Same growled at him. I raised my eyebrows and was about to say something smart when Jake entered. I was frozen in my seat and quickly snapped out of it. I left the room quickly and went over to Emily.
"Hey Emily, do you need any help?" I asked. She smiled.
"No thanks, Jennifer. I think I'm almost done." I smiled and went back out. Jake was leaning casually against the wall, avoiding my gaze and talking to Jared. I stared at him as I sat down, trying not to let my eyes wander over his abs. God, they were beautiful. I sat still until Emily entered with all the food. Paul sat down next to me and Jared and Jack sat across from us. I fought down my jitteriness and took some food. No way was I going to be able to eat with Jacob Black sitting across from me. I forced myself to eat though because my stomach was growling. Jake continued to shovel food into his mouth, completely oblivious to the fact that I was staring at him.
"How's patrol?" I asked, trying to break the silence.
"It's good," Paul said, swallowing a mouthful of food. "Nothing has happened so far."
"That's good," I said. I quickly finished my dinner and excused myself. "I have a lot of homework left to do so I'll see you all later!" I hurried upstairs and locked my door. I sighed. I fingered the locket around my neck and sat down at my desk. I started my homework but soon became too distracted. I kept thinking about Jacob and how he kept ignoring me. I felt sad and just crawled into bed. I soon dozed off.
The next morning, I woke up to my alarm. I groaned. A few more weeks of school and I would be free to do whatever. I got out of bed and padded into my bathroom. It was small but had everything I needed. After taking a quick shower and brushing my teeth, I reentered my room to look for clothes. I decided on a blue flowery skirt, black leggings, and a loose white short sleeved blouse. I slipped on my sandals and headed downstairs, brushing my hair out on the way.
"Morning Emily," I said, taking a seat.
"Hey Jennifer," Emily responded. Paul entered the room and sat across from me. Jared entered next and sat next to Paul. Finally, Jake entered and saw that he had no where else to sit and sat next to me. My heart sped up 10x and I tried to calm it down.
"Hey Paul, Jared, Embry, Jake," I said, trying to say the last part as nonchalantly as I could. "What's up?" Jake looked up and finally looked into my eyes. I saw annoyance in them but when they met my eyes, the annoyance disappeared, replaced with wondering and happiness. I stared back at Jake, unable to break away from his gaze. We stared at each other until Jared cleared his throat.
"Dude, did you just imprint on Jennifer?" Paul asked. Jake had a dazed look in his face. He smiled at me and I smiled back. Paul groaned.
"Oh no! Now I have to go on patrol and listen to your thoughts about Jennifer! Gee thanks Jake." Paul said. Suddenly, my phone buzzed and I looked at it.
"Whoops, gotta go," I said hurriedly. "Allison's here." I quickly left the house and climbed into Allison's car.
"Geez what took you so long?" Allison asked.
"Sorry," I said breathlessly. "You won't believe what just happened!" I told her all that happened during breakfast and she was shocked.
"So he kept staring at you?" she asked. I nodded my head. She smiled.
"Yes! He's finally noticing you!" We got to school and I got out of the car, heading to math class. Allison and I separated and I was about to enter the classroom when a voice stopped me.
"Hey, Jennifer," I stopped and turned. Jake was standing right there. I sucked in my breath.
"Yeah?" I asked, a little breathlessly. He looked uncomfortable.
"Do you want to, uh, you know, hang out this weekend?" What did he just ask? He wants to spend the weekend with me? I stared at him.
"It's alright if you don't have time..."
"No! Wait! I mean, of course I have time! When this weekend?" He brightened up.
"I'll pick you up Saturday at 4."
"Great!" I smiled and entered the class.
The rest of the day passed by in a haze. I couldn't believe that Jacob Black asked me out! When I told Allison this, she squealed.
"Oh my god are you serious?!" I nodded, unable to keep the smile off my face. Then she started planning what outfit I was going to wear and wouldn't stop chatting my ear off. At lunch, she was still talking about what style my hair should be like when Jake, Paul, Embry and Jared came up. Allison immediately shut up and watched them in amazement as all three of them pulled up chairs and sat with us. I couldn't believe it either. We passed lunch quietly with Allison sneaking me knowing glances every so often and wiggling her eyebrows, making me blush and keep my head down. Jake kept staring at my face which made me blush even more. I glared pointedly at Allison and she stuck her tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes and finished my lunch. The bell rang and all of us got up, getting ready to go. Allison left and so did Jared and Paul. I was left alone with Jake.
"Here, I'll walk you to class," Jake said. I smiled and we proceeded down the hallway. People kept staring and pointing at us, whispering. I didn't care. As long as Jake was next to me, I was fine. At my class, Jake smiled at me.
"I'll see you later." Then, he walked off. I sighed happily, and entered the classroom.
After school, I trudged up the stairs to my room and plopped everything on my desk. Finals were just around the corner and the teachers have assigned so much homework! I mean, how do they expect us to study while giving us other worksheets and new material to work on? It just wasn't possible! I sighed and got down to work, finishing my history and science homework in no time. I was about to start my math homework when Emily called dinner.
"Jennifer! Suppertime!"
"Coming!" I yelled back. I set down my pencil and headed downstairs. Jared opened the back door and entered with Paul and Jake behind him. Jake's eyes lit up when he saw me.
"Hey," he said, coming over to me.
"Hey Jake," I responded, smiling at him. I sat down and he took his place next to me as Emily started carrying platters of food. Paul sat down eagerly as did Jared and Embry. Sam and Emily sat down and we all began to eat.
"So," Paul began, his mouth full of food. "I've been watching Quil and I think he's going to join us soon."
"Paul," Emily scolded. "It's rude to talk with your mouth full."
"Quil's changing now?" I asked. "That's good. Now he can finally be in on the secret." Jake nodded happily and Embry's eyes sparkled. I knew they missed Quil and not being able to talk to him was hard. I mean, after all, they were all best friends. I finished dinner quickly and excused myself.
"Where are you going?" Jake asked, frowning.
"I'm going to finish my homework," I told him. "See you all later." I headed upstairs and decided to take a shower first. After 15 minutes, I reentered my room and sat down, ready to finish my math homework. I had just finished and was about to crawl under my covers and sleep when Jake entered my room.
"Hey," he said softly. I turned, a little startled at the noise, but I smiled when I saw him.
"Hey, Jake," I said. "What's up?" He came over to me and sat on my bed.
"Nothing. I just wanted to make sure you were all right." I smiled. He was so caring!
"I'm fine. Can you stay with me tonight?" I asked. He nodded and we both settled in my bed, his arm wrapped around me. He kissed my forehead.
"Good night, Jennifer."
The next morning, I woke up with something warm wrapped around me. I turned and saw Jake and I smiled.
"Good morning, beautiful," he said, kissing my forehead. "Ready for school?" I groaned, remembering that today was Friday and then the weekend. He chuckled.
"Only today left and then we have our date." I brightened at the idea and got out of bed, anxious to get today over with. I quickly grabbed some clothes and changed in the bathroom, brushing my teeth hurriedly and running a brush through my hair. I put on a little mascara and left. Jake was already downstairs sitting at the kitchen table. Emily was setting down a plate of muffins and I grabbed one.
"Morning Emily," I said.
"Morning, Jennifer," she responded. "Ready for the weekend?"
"You bet!" I said. "I just want school over in general!" She chuckled and went back into the kitchen. I gulped down my muffin, drank some milk and was ready to go. Jake ate like 4 muffins and downed 3 cups of water.
"Alright, let's go!" he said. We exited the house and got in my car. I backed out of the driveway and headed towards school.
When I got there, Allison was waiting for me. She saw me get out of the car with Jake and her expression was first astonished, and then it turned knowing.
"Hey Jennifer," she said cheerily as we walked closer to her. "Hey Jake,"
"Hey Allison!" I said while Jake just nodded at her.
"So can I come over tomorrow at 3?" she asked me. "You know, to prepare you?" I laughed.
"Alright, Allison." She squealed happily. She soon parted ways with us and I watched her bounce away to her first class, blonde curls swinging. I sighed. Allison was so...Allison.
"Ready?" Jake asked. I nodded and headed to my first class.
The rest of the day passed n a blur and before I knew it, I was home.
"I'm home!" I shouted as I entered the house. Jake followed me inside. Emily emerged from the kitchen and smiled at me.
"How was school?"
"Good but boring," I responded. "The teachers gave so much homework though!" I went into my room and dumped my books on my desk. Jake entered behind me and closed the door. I started putting my stuff away when Jake slowly turned me around. He had his hands on my shoulders and was staring with such intensity into my eyes. I couldn't look away. His eyes swallowed me whole and left me just standing there.
"Jennifer," he said softly.
"Yea?" I barely whispered.
"I really, really like you," he said. I smiled up at him.
"So do I," I responded. He came closer and put his hand under my chin. I felt it coming and I didn't try to pull away. Slowly, he tipped my head up and his lips met mine. We fit together perfectly. What started out as a soft kiss became a long kiss full of emotion and desire. I wrapped my arms around his neck and wound my hands through his soft brown hair. Jake wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. His tongue grazed my bottom lip and I groaned, opening my mouth and allowing him to enter. His tongue immediately plunged into my mouth and I groaned. It was wonderful!
After a while, Jake pulled away. I was flushed but I smiled. He smiled back and glanced at the clock.
"Whoops, sorry, babe," he said. "I gotta go patrol." I sighed unhappily and watched him leave my room. He glanced back one last time, winked at me, and then he was gone. I shut my bedroom door and sat down at my desk. I checked my phone and Allison had left like a billion text messages.
3 is ok tmrw, right Jen?
Jen! Answer your texts!
JEN! I'm serious!
OK, what can you be doing that's so important? :P
Please answer your texts Jen!
I quickly typed back a response.
Whoops, srry Allison! U will not guess what just happened!
What?
Jake kissed me!
WHAT? OMG REALLY? DETAILS! :)
Well, we were talking and then he got closer and we sort of kissed. It was like the most wonderful thing ever!
Ahhhh! AWESOME! I can't believe Jake fell for you in TWO DAYS! :D I'm so coming over tmrw to help u get ready!
Alright Allison. See ya then! :D
I put my phone away and tried getting started on homework to leave the weekend free. It was hard concentrating, but I finally was able to finish most of my homework. I gave up after I finished history and headed downstairs. Emily was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
"Hey Emily. Do you need help?"
"Hey Jennifer. Um you can start with the cookies if you want."
"Sure. How much of each do I need?"
"Well I have the dough ready. I just need to put them on the tray and back them." I took out a huge bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough. I placed small balls of the dough on the baking tray and placed the tray in the oven. While those were baking, I got started on another tray. Ten minutes later, the first batch was done and the second tray was ready for baking. I switched trays and let the fresh cookies cool. When they were cool, I transferred them to a plate and put more cookie dough balls on the tray. I repeated this process until I had made 6 batches of cookies. Just as I was pulling out the last batch out of the oven, the back door opened and Sam and the others entered.
"Mmm! What smells so good?" Paul asked, sniffing the air.
"Is that all you think about?" I teased, transferring the last batch of cookies onto the plate. Paul's eyes zeroed in on the cookies and his stomach rumbled. We all burst out laughing. Emily then carried in all the food and set it on the table. I placed the cookies down and sat down next to Jake. Jake draped an arm around my shoulders and kissed my head. I looked at him and smiled as Paul gagged.
"Excuse me," he said. "Please no PDA. I'm trying to eat here!"
"Then don't watch," I retorted. He just huffed and glared at me. Jake growled at him. I patted his arm reassuringly and rolled my eyes at Paul. I grabbed some food and listened to the conversation going on.
"The red-headed leech is so annoying! We can't catch her and she also keeps crossing between the borders!" Paul said.
"We'll catch her soon enough," Sam said determinedly.
"How?" Jared asked.
"What red-headed leech?" I asked.
"There's this leech that apparently wants to get to Bella because her boyfriend Edward killed her fiancée or something." Jake responded, growling slightly and narrowing his eyes. I studied him. Something was wrong here but I couldn't quite pinpoint the problem. Sam cleared his throat and looked pointedly at Jake. I looked at Sam curiously but he avoided my gaze. I shrugged off the problem and continued eating.
That night, after eating and showering, I plopped onto my bed. Jake had left earlier to go on patrol and I was alone for the moment. Slowly, I drifted off to sleep.
How's the story so far? Just a note, this is the beginning of New Moon and Edward will be leaving soon and then Jake for Bella. Review, Critique and Favorite! :) Happy Reading!
