Jake
A/N: to be honest I have no idea where this idea came from, but I felt like I had to put it on paper err; Microsoft Word, lol. Originally as it came to me I was thinking of doing a drabble but decided that this should be a story, I'm pretty sure there isn't another story like this in the MBAV category but I figured what the hell. I mean I know you guys and girls (Rachel) like my MBAV stories but this one is going to be different, kind of dark but still good. Instead of telling you what it is read to find out and once again I find myself using my OC Jake from my previous stories, and another thing I'm gonna be honest and say that I think you guys actually like my OC character so I'm just gonna use him for my MBAV stories but anyway this story will be sad, just to warn you but enjoy it, this is the longest thing I've typed up and you haven't even began reading the story lol, I'm gonna shut up now, your job is to enjoy the story. Also Jake doesn't have any special abilities he's just him, a human, but a dark him that I'm sure most of you are not use to.
June 2015, that month couldn't have come any quicker, that means that this year I'm graduating High school with my two best friends Ethan and Benny. That is until I got a phone call on the last day of school, from my dad saying that mom died in a car crash. She was driving home when she stopped at a stop light; a drunk driver did a head on collision with her, killing her instantly. Needless to say the car was destroyed, since then my dad has been spending all of his time at work, rarely coming home. He missed my high school graduation, then again he also missed my birthday, everybody else remembered but him. Now it's really just me taking care of little brother Adam, he is cool, he is only 12 but the kid is a artist no doubt about it, he loves to draw sketches, his favorite are of me smoking a cigarette. Smoking and drinking have been adopted into my life since my mom died, I found solace in both of them, I'm not proud of but I can't quit.
My cellphone started ringing out of nowhere, I pulled it out of my pocket and answered it.
"Hello" I said into the phone.
"Jake, where are you mom's funeral is in 10 minutes" Adam said over the phone.
Quickly I hung up the phone and put on a white long sleeve buttoned up shirt, a black sports coat, black dress pants and black shoes. My hair was a mess so I tried combing it which somewhat helped, then I grabbed some mouthwash and drank some down before heading out of the door and to my car. Since my mom died my life has been a wreck, and nobody has been helping. I arrived at the church right as the preacher started speaking. Slowly I slid in beside Adam and my dad who just eyed me.
"Thanks for the wake up call bro" I whisperd to Adam.
He turned to me and smelled me for some reason.
"You smell like Listerine and cigarettes" He whisperd back.
I gave him a crooked smile before sitting down and waiting for the funeral to be over, it was sad but no tears were shed from me at least, I can't say that about other people. Which reminds me, Erica is a bitch I'm just putting that out there, she hates me more than she hates Benny and Ethan combined. The only problem though is that she is the only person who can get me a job, somehow and don't ask me how she got high up in a business, plus she can hook me up with a lawyer if I need one.
Once the funeral was over the only people that were standing, were my dad, me and Adam. My dad looked at me with anger before he spoke.
"You couldn't wear a tie" He asked me, disgust coming from his voice.
Now don't get me wrong the man loves me and I love him but we haven't seen eye to eye lately.
"Look, dad I was busy" I protested.
"BULLSHIT JAKE, YOU CAME HOME LATE LAST NIGHT DRUNK OFF YOUR ASS, THEN YOU STUMBLED INTO YOUR ROOM AND STARTED SMOKING BEFORE YOU PASSED OUT ON YOUR BED" He screamed at me.
"Yea, well at least I'm there" I shot back.
He looked at me like he was about to say something before he took Adam and drove home. Man that guy is an asshole, all he does now is work, and he doesn't spend time with Adam at all. My phone started vibrating again, it was Sarah.
"What's up" I said.
"Jake, you know what's up you've been acting like a ghost for the past couple of weeks, me, Ethan and Erica haven't seen you since graduation, we know that you're going to Whitechapel University with Ethan and Benny, and me and Erica will be glad to share our apartment with you guys, but please come hang out with us" Sarah pleaded.
"I'm sorry Sarah but some things just aren't that simple" I replied, hanging up the phone.
A few hours later I decided to call Sarah back.
"Sarah, I'll come hang out with you where are you" I asked her.
"At my apartment, there is a party about to start, come on over" She replied.
20 minutes later I'm there, though I still look like shit and from what Adam said before I left was that I smell still smell like Listerine and cigarettes. I knocked on the door but stopped when I heard commotion around the left side of the apartment. It sounded like it was Sarah and Erica and two guys. It was one of those apartments where the alleyway was like a road or it is a road or I don't know it has road pavement or cement or something. I'm surprised I graduated high school. When I peeked my head around the corner I saw that the guys were harassing Sarah and Erica, one of them had a gun, dumbass guns don't kill vampires, besides Erica can't die nothing will hurt that bitch. Both of the guys struck Sarah and Erica, both of them falling to the ground.
That's when I lost it, I spun one of them around and decked him in the face, left and right until hands grabbed my arms and put them behind me back, lifting me up off of the guy, in the air and finally slamming me into the ground face first. Sarah and Erica ran and left me there. Both of them were kicking the shit out of me. Finally it stopped when a officer flashed a flashlight on them and sirens came on. Minutes later I'm standing beside the assholes that jumped me in the alleyway. Sarah and Erica are talking to the officers, and then one of the officers uncuffed all of us and told us to go home. Quickly I spun the officer around.
"Hey, those assholes harassed them, they didn't have anything to do with it" I exclaimed to the officer.
"Do I give a shit" He spat at me.
"You're suppose to, you're a cop" I protested.
Then he held out my driver license, examining it very closely.
"Mr. Dallas, 18. Go home kid" He said, handing me my driver's license.
The officer then turned and started walking the other direction. Once again I spun him around only to be slammed against a car windshield face first, being handcuffed. Erica and Sarah watched the whole thing happen without saying a word. I was thrown in the back of the cop car and had a one way ticket to jail.
Officer put me in a temporary holding cell with other people, I think it was that phone call cell or something.
"Hey kid what are you in here for" A older looking fat man asked me.
"For bullshit that's what" I replied.
An officer came up and said that I had a free phone call which I refused. I stayed in their for a few more minutes before I was let go, they handed me a bottle of water then sent me on my way. Now my clothes consisted of a white-bloody t-shirt that is permanently stained with my blood, a pair of black dress pants and black shoes. They let me out because technically I guess I didn't do anything wrong that was considered breaking the law so all they could do was hold me in there for a certain amount of time before letting me go, like detention for example.
Once I was outside, I pulled out a cigarette and lit it up, taking a huge drag before exhaling. A horn honked beside me, I turned my head to the left and saw Sarah sitting there. I climbed in and we took off towards her apartment.
"Thanks" I said sarcastically.
"Jake, me and Erica are sorry, well I am we just froze up and when we saw our chance to run we took it, Jake we truly are sorry that we didn't do anything, if we showed those guys that we were vampires we would breaking a rule with the vampire council" Sarah replied, looking at me.
"I can just tell by your smell that you've changed, whatever happened to the nice, caring and open guys that we all know and love" She asked me.
"That died a while ago" I replied.
"So uh how is your family doing" Sarah asked, trying to keep the conversation going.
"Good" I answered.
"How is your mom, is she doing all right, I miss her brownies" Sarah said.
"My mom is very busy, she went on a business trip to Europe and might not be back for a very long time" I replied in a casual tone.
We pulled up to the apartment and climbed out of the car.
"The apartment is cleaned up, it's just me and Erica, Ethan and Benny headed home after what happened" Sarah said, opening the door to the apartment.
Thank god it was dark, their gonna flip when they see what I look like, my clothes are bloodstained, the right side of my face is busted open well not all of it, just a huge gash above my eyebrow, there are small cuts on the left side of my face and my bottom lip is busted open, to be honest I look like shit.
"Erica why is it so dark in here" Sarah asked her.
"Don't know, got bored" Erica murmured.
As soon as Sarah turned on the lights, her and Erica both looked at me with their mouths open and eyes filled with shock.
"Close your mouths, otherwise a fly will go in" I said, ignoring their looks.
"Normally I would be acting weird for blood, but not from you, Jake what the hell happened to you" Sarah asked me.
"Sarah he got the shit kicked out of him—"
"ERICA SHUT THE FUCK UP" I snapped at her.
"The only reason that happened is because you two left, left me there to suffer the consequences, hell if those cops didn't show up I would probably be dead right now, because one of them had a loaded gun" I explained to both of them.
"Dork, you smell like cigarettes, Listerine and alcohol, what has been going on in your life for the past two weeks" Erica asked me.
"Why would you care" I asked her.
"This actually seems were listening to" She protested.
"Jake hold still, I have stuff that will fix your cuts just hold still" Sarah said, running into the bathroom and appearing in front of me.
Right as she was about to do it her phone rang, she took it out and got excited.
"It's Ethan, Jake hold on, actually Erica you fix him" Sarah giggled.
"Why" Erica groaned.
"Because I'm busy" Sara said, heading out of the apartment.
She sighed before picking up the rubbing alcohol, band-aids and bandages. She got right up in my face.
"Hold still dork, this might hurt" Erica said, dabbing a cotton ball with alcohol and then rubbing hard on my gash.
"YOU BITCH" I shouted at her.
She just giggled, this wasn't one of those fake one's this was one of those real giggles like you actually know the person is enjoying this, I'm not surprised though that Erica is enjoying this.
"Be quiet and hold still" She barked.
I don't know what came over me but from this close I could smell her, and she smelt really good, like strawberries or something. Once Erica was done with my cuts she moved to my bottom lip. To hold me still, she cupped one hand on my chin and started rubbing it against my lip. This hurt worse than when she was cleaning my cuts but with her smell of strawberries it wasn't too bad, worth having to deal with because of the smell not Erica, no I hate her.
A minute later she was all done, but she still kept her hand cupped on my chin. I removed her hand, and I swear I heard her sigh as I did. My face felt painfully clean, if that makes any sense. I sat down on the couch as Erica put the med kit or whatever on top of the refrigerator. She was wearing a tank top and jean shorts, I hate to admit it but even though she is a bitch she has a nice body, curvy long legs leading up to her -. I looked up at her face and she was looking at me.
"What" I asked her.
"I saw you staring at me, I'm not dumb, dork" She replied.
"I wouldn't take you for a dumb person since you got into a college, but you can be a—"
"Bitch" she finished for me.
"Yea" I replied.
"Well I am who I am dork, get use to it" She said, pulling down a glass ashtray.
I pulled out a cigarette and lit it up before she started yelling at me. So I did what any guy would and went to go put the cigarette out in the glass ashtray.
"That's a bowl, stupid" She said, looking at me.
I grabbed the bowl and then looked at her with a disbelief crooked smile. I took the cigarette out and put it out in the bowl/ashtray thing.
"I guess it was just here to tease me" I replied, blowing the cigarette smoke in her face.
"Jake get out before I change you into a vampire' Erica groaned.
"Fine by me" I replied, heading outside and to my car, driving home.
It was late when I got home the clock read 2am.
Erica's POV
Sarah came walking in a few minutes after Jake left, locking the door and plopping onto the couch to watch some TV. I plopped down beside her a concerned look was spread across her face.
"What's wrong" I asked her.
"Something's wrong with Jake, you remember when he moved here sophomore year he was this nice, outgoing guy now he's changed and not for the better" She replied.
Immediately I scanned the newspaper, looking the obituaries about the people who died recently until I came across the name Samantha Dallas.
"Sarah I know why he's like this" I said, still looking at the newspaper.
"Why" she asked me.
"His mom died" I answered.
Sarah snatched the newspaper away from me and looked at it, then she set it down.
"So that's why he's like that" She said out-loud.
"He's a asshole who smokes and drinks and he calls me a bitch, when I don't do either of those things" I murmured.
Sarah heard it and then started laughing before she got up.
"You remember in science or whatever in elementary school when the teachers said that opposites attract like the north and south magnets or whatever" She asked me.
"Yea but what does that have to do with anything" I replied.
"Nothing, what you said though made me think of that for some reason" She said.
"Sarah you're like a sister to me and I love you but you need to stop spending so much time with Ethan before I end up losing you completely to that dork" I replied.
"Erica their not dorks anymore, their all 18 you can't just go around acting like you're the boss of them, besides the only one that's under your control is Benny he will do anything for you, as for Jake, I feel bad for him, he's just a lost soul" Sarah said, walking down the hallway.
"Goodnight" I yelled.
"Night Erica" She shouted.
And with that I had the whole TV and couch to myself, time to watch some Dusk.
A/N: so im not sure what reviews I will get for this, I might get positive or negative reviews, I felt that this first chapter was and is a bit sloppy but I felt like this idea was a good one so I wrote it down or typed it up, whatever anyway I hope that you guys enjoyed this, another chapter will be up most likely tomorrow. I might get mixed reviews some positive some negative some saying that this sucks, and for those people who write negative reviews on Fanfiction stories which say like this story sucks you should stop writing, just stop. I mean seriously if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all, if you don't like the story fine don't read it but you don't have to leave a negative review to bring the writer down, I mean seriously, if you don't like it just keep your mouth shut and find another story that you like, for the people who write flame reviews, you should get help, if anything at least be nice and tell them what's wrong with the story and how to fix it and tips on how to become better at writing, I know for a fact that my stories aren't great but what the hell I'm out here doing what I like doing and that's writing, I'm sick and tired of people leaving flames on good stories, some of them are on mine but it's whatever, your life not mine.
