"Bella moved in with Charlie, you want to head down to visit. It would be nice if Luke and I could get away, and I was told that it was irresponsible for parents to leave there sixteen year old daughter home alone for a whole weekend." As she said this, she rolled her eyes. I figured that she had been on the phone with uncle Charlie and he demanding her to send me to his house. I used to visited for a week every year when Bella would spend two weeks to see her father and when she stopped coming I continued.
Bella is my cousin, my mother was her father's baby sister. My mother had been born when Charlie was eleven, I had been born when she was sixteen. A mistake, completely, my mother was young and single, not even a boyfriend. If you asked my mother there was no father, she had never had sex although that was far from the truth now, after my grandmother died and my mother had to actually be a mother to me , we moved away from forks. After that she had plenty of sex. Her bedroom was a revolving door until Luke, they had been together for almost two years now. Luke was cool, more like a friend then a father. We were close.
"that sounds like fun, when?" I asked, dipping my spoon into a cup of yogurt
"this weekend?" it was a question, my mother never made me do anything I didn't want to do, although that didn't mean she wouldn't go away it just meant that she would be that irresponsible parent that uncle Charlie thought she was.
"yea okay, are you bringing me or do I get to drive?" I tried to ask it like I didn't care but inside I hoped that mom wouldn't want to drive two hours in the opposite direction. I wasn't sure where they were going but everything was in the opposite direction of forks. Kind of the reason I wanted a car.
" yeah nica, you can drive my car." Luke came from the living room and into the kitchen placing his hand on my head, messing up my hair, I had just straighten. I swatted at his hands, Luke just laughed walking over to my mother and embracing her. They were cute, Luke was a true romantic , he lifted my mother up, hugging her tightly and kissing her.
"okay, guess that's my cue to leave." Thowing my empty yogurt container into the trash.
"oh wait Veronica, I'm working 2nd shift today, can you cook Luke and yourself dinner?" I laughed
"and if you weren't working second shift?" I questioned.
"you'd still have to cook me dinner."Luke injected releasing my mom from his grasp. Mom stuck her tongue out at me and Luke.
"bye, I'll be home later." Grabbing my bag and heading to school.
Jacobs POV
"Bella, you coming over to the bon-fire this weekend?" she was washing her truck. I was glad she loved something that I once owned, well my father actually, but either way it made me feel connected to her.
"yea I don't know, Charlie said that my cousin Ronni is coming" Ronny?
"is that the one that the male nurse or the guy that helps build house down…where was he from?"
"he builds like schools and stuff a bunch of third world countries, but neither. Ronni is my Aunt Kitty's daughter. She's like a year younger then me."
"huh, does she not come to visit often.? Ronni? I don't remember her.
"no, she comes all the time, I think shes seen my father more during her lifetime then I have, she awesome, but she doesn't have a father, I think my father felt obligated to give her some type of male role model. Her mother was really young when she had her?" shit, I hoped that she wasn't staying long. I already had to share Bells with Edward. I didn't like him or trust him. Something about him wasn't right. He smelled bad, thought, made me uneasy although no one else seemed to think so. Bella had run away last year after she got into a fight with Edward and ended up in the hospital. I know that it probably wasn't his fault, bella wasn't very graceful but that didn't mean I couldn't blame him anyway.
"why haven't I met her yet then?" Charlie and my father had been Best friend since my mother car accident. Charlie had been the first on scene, tried to save her. He just started showing up at our house, checking in .
"they're weird, Charlie's different when she around, he spends time with her, they do things. She actually loves to fish with him. And they watch sports together. Actually he acts like he acts with Billy, except he's very protective of her."
"weird." I wondered if that bothered her
"actually its kinda cool. I don't want to act that way with Charlie, but I like to see him happy and he is whenever she visits. Plus she's a better cook then I am so I'm not gonna have to cook this weekend at all." She looked at her watch and grabbed her bag. "sorry jake I got to go, I'll call you later to let you know about the bon-fire." She was going to see Edward, i just knew it, and I didn't like it.
