"Oh Jake! I can't believe that you would even think that way! Honestly, don't you even think about it?" I yell at him. Lately, Jake has been doing some stupid things. Today, he thought it would fun to get some random guy's car and throw it down the cliff straight to the water.
"Bella! You don't even know the whole story! Just hear me out! You might find some interesting facts about why I did it!" he retorted back. I didn't even want to hear it. When is there ever an excuse for doing that? Or doing the other things he's done! For instance, last week I was walking to my truck and I see Jake fighting with some guy. I had to peel him off of him. I don't know what's gotten into him but I know something is going on with him and he just won't tell me.
"Look, I don't want to know why you decided on throwing a guy's car off the cliff. Just call me when you're over your delinquent stage okay?" I ignored his mouth dropping and hopped into my truck. I didn't care if I had hurt his feelings right now. He keeps doing all this crap that I don't want to take care of anymore. I went home, whelming up in tears when Charlie noticed me.
"Hey Bella. Are you okay? You look a little red." He asks concerned. I know he always meant for the best but he wasn't exactly the guy I wanted to talk to right now. I just shook my head and ran upstairs. Of course he left me some alone time before I was ready to give him some vague information about what happened. I run to my bed and grab onto my pillow. I screamed into it giving it my all.
I love Jake. There's no doubt about it in my mind, but lately it's like he's trying to push me away. I don't know why or for what reason but I'm getting pissed at all the crap he's doing. I don't want to break up with him but if he's not going to grow up then I don't know how it's going to work then. Even though I get all these harsh feelings for him, I still want him in the end of the day. This, by the way, is killing me.
I put the pillow over my head and scream again. I can't help it but small tears fall from the edge of my eyes. Suddenly I realized it was night time. Have I been crying and screaming for hours? I shake my head and get up. I walk around my room telling myself to get over myself. I hear a small tap on my window. I see Jake's head popping into view. A mixture of happiness and anger rushed in. I quickly opened it and he jumped in. we both stood there awkwardly but he closed the space between us with a hug.
"Bells, you're going to have to let me explain." He says quickly. This time, I just let him tell me why he's been acting up. When he told me why he pushed the car off I was just in shock. The reason why he did it was because apparently that random guy wasn't too random. It actually was an old enemy of Jake and his dad. The guy was going to drive up to his family's house and trash it. Jake was doing him a favor since he was drunk at the time. He basically saved him by doing such an extreme thing. I still felt that it was wrong to do that but somehow his charm and genuine feelings to help made me forgive him.
"I'm so sorry for not listening Jake. Next time, just tone it down a bit. I don't want you getting into fights or destroying things that aren't yours. At least not without my permission." I punch his arm lightly. He hugged me tightly and kissed my cheek.
"I promise I won't!" we laughed. Our faces were facing each other and I felt him coming closer to me. My cheeks flushed red and I felt embarrassed but a part of me made me put my arms around his neck and push him closer to me. It's not like I never do things like this but we never do this in my room, alone. When the space between us was no longer there, I felt myself have some fun with this kiss. Of course it was ruined when we suddenly heard Charlie's footsteps descending upstairs. We both ripped away from each other. We were mouthing words and I was telling him to get out of my room. I pushed him out to my window. He almost fell but he luckily got a hold of a branch.
"Bella?" Charlie knocked on the door and opened it. I turned around and I know I looked nervous.
"Yes dad?" my voice cracked when I said 'dad'. I cleared my throat and tried relaxing myself. I finally calmed myself down and stayed focus on him.
"I'm going to be gone in a few days for a trip. You don't mind staying home alone?" I could tell he was upset about it. I even bet he wanted me to come with him. I just shrugged.
"I'm fine with that. Are you okay with it?" I almost laughed when his face got flustered and he almost choked when he said, "Of-of course I am." he closed the door and I sighed in relief. I opened my window and checked if Jake was still there. He was.
"Go home!" I whispered fiercely.
"Why? Just let me up there and we could continue what we were doing. I know you had fun with that Bella." He sounded a bit smug about it but it wasn't such a turn off. I can't believe I actually found it having the opposite effect. I just shook my head and laughed at him.
"Not this time lover boy. I'll just talk to you tomorrow." I place my hand on my cheek.
"Party pooper." He joked. He waved at me and started walking home. I felt bad at making him walk home at this time of night. Of course, I knew he would be just fine though. I closed my window and lay down on my bed. The thing I love about my room is how I'm so comfortable with it. I close my eyes and lose myself in sleep.
For the few days that Charlie was still here Jake and I went back to our "normal" standing. He hasn't done anything reckless and I haven't been blowing my top. I never felt so much in love with Mr. Jacob Black. There was nothing that could blow us apart.

"Bella, I'm going to miss you for the next three days." Charlie pulls me in for a half hug.
"Me too. Please drive safe okay? And keep your eyes on the road!" I know that he would follow those rules already since he was already a part of the force.
"Don't drink and drive Charlie!" Jake yelled as he pulled out of the driveway. He just shook his head at him and drove off to his destination. Three days without Charlie…how much fun will that be?!
Jake took me out on a date that day. He told me to wear whatever I wanted. I didn't know if that meant fancy or casual. I went with simple dark blue long sleeve with jeans. My hair was wavy so I curled it accordingly so it would look nice. When Jake came over he wore a white shirt with some baggy pants. Thank goodness he didn't look fancy!
"So are you sure you don't want to be nice and just tell me exactly where we're going?" I hoped that he would give in and just tell me. He just shook his head and drove off. He made sure I was wearing a folded up bandana to cover up my eyes.
"Sheesh Jake. Are you going all out or what?" I say slightly annoyed. After being friends with him since he was born and then dating him for the last year you expected a guy to know you to the bone by now and he knew I hate surprises. He laughed and just started a completely new conversation without answering me. Great.
I felt the car slow down to a stop. I felt some happiness that I was going to find out where he had brought me. I wanted to know already! I was dying with anticipation.
"Jake, can I take these off yet?" I was reaching for them but he screamed no before I got to even pull at them.
"Not yet. Sorry. Just, hold on." he shut his door and he opened mine. I got out, so scared of falling. He made me walk somewhere. I heard something but I wasn't sure what it was.
"Okay, you can do it now!" he yells happily. He sounds satisfied with something. I take off the bandana and check where we were. We were on the same cliff he had pushed the car off of. Why would he want me to be here? I was confused about this.
"I know this may have some bad memories so I wanted to make some good ones right here." He sat down on a blanket and patted to the place right next to him. I smiled and sat with him. It really did look nice out at night. The moon was up and with Jake next to me I didn't feel too cold. He had cooked some spaghetti and garlic bread. I thanked him for the food and ate it hungrily. We talked about what we should do for the next three days. The thing about him is that I feel like he can be a friend and not a horny teen.
We decided on swimming tomorrow and maybe having a small get together with my friends and his friends the next day. Let me just tell you that he planned these three days packed with some fun things. At the same time, he planned some romantic things too. On the last day, we're going to spend the whole day with each other. I found that so sweet since most of the time his friends would come by and interrupt our little private moments.
After we ate, it was pretty late. We couldn't stop talking for hours but I yawned unexpectedly so we just went home. In fact, I didn't realize how tired I was. He had to open the door for me and carry me to my room. When he was walking up the stairs, I passed out of exhaustion. I woke up around three in the morning. I got up instantly and checked my surroundings for him. Damn. He's nowhere. I found a little note on my computer though. I got up and took it.
"Bella, I know you must feel a little bad that you feel asleep on me but I want you to know I think it's pretty cute. Call me when you want to. Can't wait to see your bathing suit! Just kidding! Well, I guess you'll get mad because of that. But you really shouldn't because it was a compliment! Never mind…just, call me whenever okay? Jake." That was kind of random…I think it's too early to call him. I guess I should just go back to sleep. Somehow I was able to fall asleep. When I woke up, it was seven.
I ran down the stairs, but I almost fell on the thirteenth step. How did I know it was the thirteenth step? I counted it. I guess that was my bad luck for the day. I grabbed the phone and dialed his number. I waited for him to pick up. After the fourth ring he answered.
"Bells?" he asks sleepily. I guess he thought I would be knocked out for a while. I giggled at how funny he sounds.
"Jake? You said call anytime!" I laughed when he groaned.
"But it's only seven! Seven! In the morning?"
"I know but you said anytime!" we argued about that for a little but we ended up settling it.
"Anyways, what did you want at this time?" he asks calmly now that he was over his sleepiness.
"Well, I'm just bored here."
"Okay? So am I?"
"Why are you talking like that?" I mimicked.
"Do you want me to come over or not?" he answered back.
"Actually I have to clean a bit before we go swimming." There was a silence.
"Are you going to do that now?" he asks in a fake patient voice.
"Uh…sure! Why not?" I still keep him waiting on the phone.
"Good bye Bella?" he says confused.
"Bye!" I laugh before I hung up. I have too much fun with that boy.
I clean the house and that only took me an hour and thirty minutes. Now, I just have to wait until I have to start getting ready. I don't like having nothing to do. I guess I should find things to keep me busy until then.
From that time until now I watched movies, read some old books, tried out different clothes, took a shower, tried walking on my hands, and I did some other weird things I wasn't too happy about such as how many paper cups I could stack until they fell. I stacked up about a hundred but then they fell and I had to pick it all up.
Anyways, I went upstairs and searched for my bikini. It was plain red with little black flower prints. I put that on and then I put on a baggy shirt with some shorts. I pulled my hair back into a pony tail. I heard a honk outside my door and I knew it was Jake outside. I went down and opened the door.
"So what did you do today?" he asks. I laughed at the question and told him. We drove off to the beach as I would tell him all the odd things I did. He told me I could have called him and tell him to come over but I just didn't want make him sick of me.
I did have to admit I had a really good time at the beach. I hung out with all my friends and Jake's friends. We would play in the beach, use boogie boards, water polo, and we also had a competition on making the best sand castle. We would have won if I hadn't knocked down the small gate in the front causing the whole front side to shatter down.
********
Besides from that, I had fun the rest of the days I had off without Charlie. I did admit I kind of missed Charlie being by my side. Well there was only one day left so I guess I could survive until then. This was the day when Jake had slept over so then we really would have spent the whole day together.
"Good morning beautiful." I kissed my forehead and present me with breakfast. I sat up and thanked him.
"Good morning. Why were you awake earlier than me?" I stuffed some eggs in my mouth and wiped some of the yolk off my mouth.
"I don't want to make you embarrassed…" he says slowly. Oh no! Don't tell me I was sleep talking again! I gulped the egg down.
"What did I say this time?" I dropped my fork on the plate and waited for a response. He looked a little worried at first but just sighed.
"You were saying how you…loved your cute, little, La Push boy." I swear that his cheeks started turning pink! I smiled at him and kissed him.
"Well you are my cute, little, La Push boy!" I started to finish the food he made for me.
"I thought I was your strong, sexy, La Push man." He urged on.
"Sure sure." I stuck my tongue out to him and laughed. Needless to say, I was having a great time with him there. We talked and sometimes it would get serious but I noticed that he didn't mind. That made me fall more in love with him. We haven't gotten to the point of saying that yet in our relationship but I don't want to push him.
He took me out to go have some fun in a little book shop.
"Pick any book you want Bells. I'll pay for it." he took out his wallet and fanned himself with a few dollar bills. I rolled my eyes and looked around. After a few minutes of reading a part of this one book I took out of the shelf, I knew it was the one I wanted. I brought the book out and asked him if I could get it. He said yes of course and he bought it for me. I held onto his hand and walked out.
"Well Bells, there's only one more thing to do on my agenda." He twirled me around so that I would be facing him. I gave him a questioningly look. He picked me up wedding style and brought me to his car.
"Jake!" I yelled at him. He drove off to an isolated place. It looked stunning though.
"Wow, where are we?" I started checking out the place more. There was green grass everywhere, little flowers sprouted from little spaces, and there were trees everywhere. It was the nicest meadow I've been to.
"Bells, you know we've known each other for the longest time. I know this won't be the right way to do this because there's probably no right way of doing this but," he got me in my arms and started swaying to no music.
"Bells, I think you're just the most…you're just so phenomenal and stunning. You remind me of the sun. You sparkle; you bring warmth and comfort to me. I know you're the right one for me and I'm not just saying this! I know it for a fact. You really do make me feel like I can do better. I feel like I need you just to survive! I hope that doesn't scare you but…what I'm trying to say is that, I'm so in love with you Bella. I…I love you." he pulled me into a hug and held me by my arms.
"Jake, I…I'm so glad you feel that way! I love you too." I put my hand on his cheek. I bring him closer to me and we share one of the most passionate kisses I ever experienced. The way he was soft and gentle on me but still able to show that he really does want and love me. Unfortunately I giggled so I stopped it before we even got to get even more intense.
"Is my hair bothering you?" he joked. I shake my head. I just couldn't believe this god was mine. We went back home since it was starting to get dark. I didn't want to go home after being in that meadow hearing him telling me he loves me. He brought me home, tucked me in, and left knowing Charlie would be arriving in a few hours.
"Bella?" I woke up to the sound of Charlie calling me. I get out of my bed and walk down to see him.
"Hey dad." I hugged him and yawned.
"So how's your trip?" I rub one of my eyes. I noticed his face fell down when I said that.
"What happened dad?" I was starting to get worried. When he's worried, it means I should worry.
"Bella, I don't know how to say this. I know I don't have much time now consider-" the door opens and two guys walk in with two girls behind.
"Um, who are they?" I whisper to Charlie.
"Bells, they are, uh, this is your new family." Family? What's that's supposed mean?
"Explanation please?" I asked.
"Bella, I know you hate to hear this but, Edward," he pointed to the younger looking guy, "he's your fiancé."
What the heck?! All I saw was black before hitting the floor.
hey this is a new story i thought about writing! tell me what you think about it! RxR!=D
