Hello! I know I just started a story last week, and I hope to have another chapter for that one out soon, but this idea just came to me, so I figured I would give it a shot! Enjoy!
Evelyn Jane felt a hot, wet tongue eagerly lick her face. "No," she groaned and quickly pulled the covers over her head. Her dog Rufus, a six year old Golden Retriever, barked and nudged her side with his nose. Evelyn sighed and pulled the covers over her head and sat up, "Fine, fine I'm up! Are you happy?" Rufus parked his reply, and Evelyn could hear his tail beating against her dresser signaling that he was indeed happy. This had been their routine for the past five years.
Rufus was bought as a service dog for Evelyn on her 12th birthday. She was thrilled beyond belief that her parents had actually decided to get her a dog. Evelyn had brought up the idea to her parent's a year before, but neither one of them seemed keen on getting a dog. The only reason they relented and got Rufus was because they thought he would help her navigate through school and be a constant companion, which he was. Rufus had been her best friend since the moment he had jumped into her arms and greeted her with one of his famous kisses. He was always by her side no matter what, and he could sense when she was upset and just needed someone to hug. She couldn't imagine life without him.
Evelyn had been blind since the day she was born. She was born with ONH, or Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, which means that her optic nerve wasn't developed correctly. The optic nerve is what transmits signals from the retina to the brain, and because hers wasn't developed correctly, she was born blind. It didn't bother Evelyn very much. Sure she was curious about what certain things looked like and what seeing was like in general, but all she knew was this life. Her parents on the other hand, saw things differently. They were always talking about what they could have done different so that maybe she wouldn't have been born blind. They just couldn't seem to accept that their little girl was different. They went to countless doctors over the years, but there was no sure way of fixing her sight. Evelyn couldn't imagine going through surgery just to have nothing change. She had accepted this life. Hell, she was happy with her life. She didn't let her blindness put a stop to living her life.
Evelyn stood up out of bed and counted her steps to the bathroom. Evelyn didn't always need Rufus. She knew the layout of her house perfectly, and could walk anywhere in the house without Rufus. She could also walk to school and other places without Rufus, but she generally liked to have him with her.
Evelyn quickly finished her morning routine and walked out of her room and down the stairs. She could smell pancakes in the air, and hear her mother fussing in the kitchen. Evelyn stepped into the doorway of the kitchen and smelled the air, "It smells great, mom."
Evelyn heard her mom drop a plate on the floor, and the shattering of the glass. "Evelyn! Jesus, you scared me!" Her mother, Kaitlyn, laughed a little. "Give me some type of warning next time, sweetheart."
Evelyn smiled sheepishly, "Sorry mom. Hope it wasn't one of your favorite plates that broke."
Evelyn heard the glass being swept off the floor, and the jingle of her mother's bracelets as she swept up the glass, "No, sweetie. Just an old green plate. No big deal." Evelyn nodded a little. She wasn't one hundred percent sure what plate was broken, but she could easily figure it out when she did the dishes later. Her mother had eight plates; four of her favorite ones and four of her "leftover" plates. Her mother's favorite plates all had this interesting design on them. Every time Evelyn put them away she could feel the bumps and grooves of the plate. The "leftover" plates were random plates that her mother had, for some reason, kept over the years. Each plate had a different feel to it, and Evelyn could decipher which one was which by feeling the design on the plate.
"So, sweetie, want some pancakes?" Evelyn heard her mother ask.
Evelyn shook her head, "No thanks. I actually need to head out a little early. I'm supposed to meet Jessica and Mike at the beach."
"Oh, okay. Well, can you stop at the store for me on your way home? I need you to pick up a few things for me," her mother said.
Evelyn grabbed the handle on Rufus' harness and nodded. "Sure thing, mom!" Evelyn yelled over her shoulder as she quickly walked out the door and towards First Beach.
?!
Evelyn buried her toes in the cold, grainy sand and smiled up as the sun beat down on her face, "I can't believe I let you guys talk me into that!"
Mike laughed and laid back on the sand, "Sometimes you have to be a little spontaneous, Evie."
Jessica laughed gaily at Mike and copied his actions. Making sure to lay as close to Mike as possible. "Mike, Angela and I use to do this all the time. It's good to be back in Forks and La Push." Evelyn smiled at her old friends. She had missed them. A lot. Mike, Angela, Jessica, and pretty much all of her friends had graduated last year. Shortly after their graduation Bella Swan married Edward Cullen. Evelyn flinched. She was never a big fan of the Swan girl. Sure she felt bad when Edward dumped her, but she couldn't understand why Bella would go into a zombie like state over it, or why she would take Edward back when he did return. Bella just seemed to shake up everyone's life.
"What are you thinking about, Evie?" Jessica asked.
Evelyn shrugged. "Bella and Edward's wedding. Have you heard from them at all?"
"No." Jessica said, and by the tone of her voice Evelyn could imagine that she was rolling her eyes. "Little Miss too-good-for-anyone hasn't spoken to any of us since she got married. Oh, and get this! Shortly after her wedding Jacob Black disappeared again. Bella must have really done a number on him." Evelyn frowned. She didn't personally know Jacob Black, but she had heard of him. He was always a fun, go lucky guy, but when Bella Swan moved to Forks he fell hard. Unfortunately for him, she only saw him as a friend. Jake was there to pick up Bella when Edward dumped her, and had, apparently, gone through a major physical change during that time. All Evelyn heard about was the La Push hotties, but Bella still didn't see Jacob that way. So of course when Edward came back, Jacob was forgotten about. He disappeared after receiving an invitation to her wedding. Everyone was out looking for him, but he couldn't be found. Finally he did show up, but at Bella's wedding. Evelyn guessed that something must have happened for him to run off again.
"Has anyone heard from him?" Evelyn asked with concern in her voice.
"Yep. He just came back to La Push a few days ago, but he's different. I ran into him yesterday, at the gas station. He was cold and aloof. He had this hardness about him, and his eyes, Evie, his eyes were so dark and lifeless."
Evelyn frowned. What could Bella have done to the poor guy? "Enough talk about Black," Mike said, and Evelyn could hear him stand and dust the sand off of his pants. "I'm only in town for a week. Let's have some fun and not talk about the past."
Evie smiled and turned to Mike's direction. "What did you have in mind, Newton?"
?!
Jacob Black pounded hard into the blonde girl beneath him. He didn't remember her name. Hell, he didn't give a fuck what her name was. She was just another slut to be fucked. Another pussy he would forget. It was the same old routine every day. Find an attractive and willing girl, take her home, fuck her brains out, and then forget about her. It was simple, it was fun, and it was Jacob Black's new life. The girl, Becky or Bridgette maybe, moaned as she found her release, and Jacob soon followed after her.
Pulling out of her, Jacob stood and threw the condom in the trash. "Thanks for the fun," Jacob said as he pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his night stand, "You can go now."
The blonde frowned and sat up in his bed, her perky breasts begging for his attention, "So soon? I was hoping we could spend the whole day together."
Jacob lit a cigarette and looked at the girl, "Look, uh…?"
The blonde glared, "Amy."
Jacob frowned. Damn, he was off. "Right, Amy. You we're a lot of fun. I had fun. You had fun. But it's time for you to go." Jacob picked up her clothes and threw them at her, "So go."
Amy huffed and quickly put on her clothes. "You're a real jerk, Jacob Black," She sneered as she shoved her way past him and out the door.
Jacob took a drag on his cigarette and slowly blew out the smoke, "Like I haven't heard that one before." Jacob looked around his room. Clothes were thrown all over the place, his bed sheets were messy from previous activities, and the room smelled of sex. The best part about his room though, was the lack of Bella in it. Anything that reminded Jacob of Bella was thrown out; old pictures, gifts, or even clothes that remind him of her were thrown in the dump. It was a Bella free zone, and Jacob loved it.
"How many times have I told you not to smoke in my house?" Jacob heard the angry voice of his father, Billy Black, ask.
Jacob, still completely nude, turned to look at his wheelchair bound father. Jacob took another long drag on his cigarette and blew the smoke towards his dad, "Sorry."
Billy Black glared at his only son, "Put that god damn cancer stick out!" Jacob rolled his eyes, but did as he was told. Billy rubbed a hand down his face and sighed, "I need you to run to the store for me."
Jacob groaned, "Why the fuck do I have to do it?"
"Because not all of us have the privilege to stay in bed and fuck sluts all day, Jacob," Billy snapped, "Just, can you please just run to the store for me?" Jacob looked at his dad and felt a slight bit of pity and guilt. He use to do everything for his dad, no questioned asked, but now him and his dad could barely hold a conversation.
Jacob grabbed a pair of shorts and put them on, "Yeah dad. What do you need me to get?"
"Just a few things for the barbeque at Sam and Emily's tonight. You are coming, right?" Billy asked giving his son the 'you better be' look.
Jacob growled a little and grabbed a wad of cash off his dresser, "Yeah, dad. I'll go watch Sam and Emily and all the other wolves and imprints make kissy faces at each other all night."
Billy sighed, "Jacob…" But Jacob was already half way out the door.
?!
Evelyn smiled as her and Rufus walked through the small grocery store. She had missed Mike and Jessica more than she thought, and seeing them had brought back a lot of old memories. Mike and Jessica both went to the University of Washington in Seattle and even though that wasn't far, she still didn't get to see them nearly as much as she would like to. They were her best friends.
Rufus gave a small bark and tried to get Evelyn to stop walking, but she was too lost in her own thoughts and slammed into a hot, hard wall. Wait, no. It wasn't a wall, but a very muscular chest. Evelyn heard the man drop his basket to the ground and let out an annoyed growl, "Are you fucking serious?!"
Evelyn slowly backed away from the man, "I am so sorry! Rufus must have warned me but I-"
"Who the fuck is Rufus?" The voice snapped.
Evelyn glared a little. She hated being interrupted, "Rufus is my service dog."
The man snorted, "Service dog? What are you? Fucking retarded? You must be since you clearly didn't see me standing here."
Evelyn clenched her fist together and finally looked up at the man, but before she could yell at him she froze. Evelyn was staring into the coldest, brownest eyes she had ever seen. The look in the man's eyes went from anger to shock to admiration and then quickly back to anger. Evelyn continued to look over the man she had bumped into. He was clearly Native American, and lord was he built. His height and his muscles were intimidating and sexy all at the same time. On his bicep he had a strange tribal tattoo. Evelyn couldn't stop staring at the man in front of her. He was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen. Wait. Evelyn frowned then starred wide eyed at the stranger in front of her, "I…I can see you!"
The man rolled his eyes and folded his arms across his chest, "Well no shit, squirt. I'm not a fucking ghost."
