"Wow." Penelope sighed, and let her head fall back into the couch. Lately this is how her relationship has been going on with her boyfriend Jacob. She doesn't know exactly whats going on with him, but she doesn't have a good feeling, call it a women's intuition if you will.
Penelope ran a hand threw her hair and got up from the couch and went into the kitchen, might as well make some dinner. Cooking always did help her get her mind off things.
She decided to make spaghetti, one of her and her little brothers favorite foods. When their mom came home from a long day at work, and the smell of spaghetti smacked her in the face, she couldn't help but smile at her daughter and giving her a big wet kiss on her cheek, and thanking her. Penelope, just smiled and pulled out three plates. Her brother Travis came in the kitchen and grabbed the plates from his sister.
"Go sit down." He ordered, shooing her with one hand, Penelope rolled her eyes but smiled as grabbed napkins and went to the table. Their mother changed her clothes and came out in her pajamas and walked into the kitchen taking the spoon from her son that was piling sauce onto one of the plates.
"Go sit, I will serve you two, you guys are still my kids." she smiled, and kissed the top of his head before he walked out the kitchen mumbling about him being the man of the house.
Two years ago their father left them for another women. It broke them, but their mother was stong and decided that she didnt need him and was going to be strong for her kids. Penelope and Travis knew she was still torn up about it, how could she not, they were married for 18 years, but their mother kept on going. Working two jobs just to have extra money so she could buy her kids things that they wanted. And now Travis was determined to be the man of the house.
Tiffany placed all three plates on the table and sat down.
"So, how was work mom?" Penelope asked before she took her first bite of food.
Their mother worked at a bakery during the week, full time, and on the weekends she was waitress at the local diner.
Tiffany rolled her eyes. "tiring as always, people can be so rude at the diner sometimes." She sighed and took a bite of her food.
"Well you don't need to put up with those people mom." Travis grunted, and stuffed a suacey meatball in his mouth.
Tiffany gave her son a small smile. "Yes I do, and we are not going to get into this tonight young man." She narrowed her eyes and pointed her fork at him. Travis huffed and mumbled whatever under his breath and continued eating. Tiffany reached over and patted her sons hand and looked over at her daughter who was slurping up a noddle. "Get any mail today, Penny?"
Penelope looked up from her plate of food and at her mom and nodded. "Yea, I did, from University of Washington." She grinned, all Penelope wanted to do was get into a great college, somewhere away from here though, sorry to say, but she was tired of La Pushes gloomy weather and UW just wasn't the place.
Tiffany smiled. "Good. And where has Jacob been? He hasn't visited in awhile." Penelope just shrugged, her mother liked Jacob. Everybody liked Jacob, especially that smile of his. Just thinking of his smile, brought a sad smile to hers. She really hoped he wasn't doing anything that would crush her.
"Hes been busy" Penelope answered. Her mother just nodded and they continued eating, while Travis told them about his day at school.
After dinner the little family sat down in the living room and watched TV. When 9 o'clock came around Tiffany sent her son to go bed. Penelope stayed seated and smirked at her brother as he stuck his tongue out. "One more year and I wont have a bed time anymore." He muttered as he walked to his room. Tiffany just smiled and got up and giving her daughter a kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight sweetie, don't stay up to late."
Penelope smiled up at her mom. "I wont mom."
When her mom and bother were both in their rooms, Penelope went outside on her front porch. Her and Jake would come out here and sit and talk for hours. She sighed at the thought. It hurt her knowing that they haven't done that in over a week.
It was cold and breezy outside but the air was nice. She sat down on the step took her phone out of her pocket and looked at the screen. No missed calls and no new texts. She looked up at the clear nights sky. What the hell is going on with Jake, she wondered. After sitting outside for awhile, and still no call from Jake, she decided to call him.
The phone rang. Then rang some more. Then went to voice mail. Penelope ran a hand threw her dark brown hair and went back into the house. Penelope had a feeling that Jacob was about to lose her, and that was the feeling she went to sleep with.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP...
Penelope moaned as she stuck her hand out and smacked the shut up button on her alarm. She waited a second to viciously throw the covers off of her and sit up with a groan. She wasn't a morning person, and never would be. She hated mornings, she hated how she had to wake up from being out peacefully for 8 hours, and she hated how damn cold it was in the morning.
She ran a hand over her face and took a deep breath. "Wake up, Penelope." She mumbled to herself, and after a minute or two she stood up and walked out her room and to the bathroom, but she paused just before she walked in, and looked over at her brothers door. Penelope heard his alarm, she stood there for a second and walked to her brothers room and just as she expected, her brother was still out cold. She shook him, and he didn't wake up. So she shook him and called his name. Still nothing. So she slapped the back of his head, and he groaned, grabbing a pillow and putting it over his head.
"Five more minutessssss." he said threw his pillow, Penelope rolled her eyes. "You had ten minutes, now get up or your going to be late."
Sharing a bathroom with a 13 year old boy sucks. Penelope thought, as she watched her brother brush his teeth next to her as he scratched his ass.
Once both siblings were both ready, they ate and read the daily morning letter their mom left on the fridge.
Goodmorning my loves,
have a good day at school
love you
-mom.
"I wonder if shes going to leave these forever." Travis said as he looked at the little note. Penelope put on her jacket then put on her backpack, "I doubt it." She shrugged. "Now come on lets go."
Travis grabbed his backpack and slipped on his jacket and once they started walking to school, he looked at his sister. "How come Jake doesn't pick us up anymore?"
Penelope looked down at her worn down chucks. "Honestly, I don't know." She answered and looked over at her brother. She knew he was about to ask another question, but he stopped, probably due to the loud car that was coming down the road, sounding very much like Jake's rabbit.
Travis smiled and waved his hand at the car, and once it pulled to a stop next to them Jake rolled down his window, smiling. The smile that made her heart jump, and made her forget everything. You would think that after almost 2 years she would be immune to that smile, but she wasn't. Not even close.
"Hey man, what you doin' walking out in this cold weather." He smiled at Travis.
Travis didn't answer he just ginned widely, because he was happy to see Jake, in a way her looked up to Jake and also he didn't have to walk to school. He climbed into the backseat and Penelope followed but getting in the front.
"Probably because we had to walk for last 3 days." Penelope answered for her brother and closing the door. Jake just shrugged. "Sorry, I've just been busy babe, you know that." She just nodded, he was always busy these days.
Penelope was quiet while Jake drove. She felt uneasy, she felt that this wasn't her Jake. Her Jake always talked to her, and told her about his days at work and what he and the guys did. She didnt like this. She had a gut feeling that something wasn't right.
After they dropped Travis off at school, they drove to school in silence. To her it was uncomfortable silence but for Jake it was probably the opposite.
Once Jake parked in the school parking lot, he got out the car, without even giving a glance her way. She grabbed her backpack and got out the car. Jacob was now walking and yelling over at his friends Quil and Embry. Now he had a lot to say.
That hurt.
Penelope walked over to where Jake was. Usually when they were with each other Jake would pull Penelope into his lap and hold her and place little kisses on her while he, Quil, and Embry talked, but as of lately, she stayed off the warm lap, and kept her butt placed on the cold bench next to him. He barely even acknowledge her anymore, and that saddened Penelope. Embry gave Penelope a small smile. Ever since Jake has been giving Penelope the cold shoulder, Embry has been there telling her not to worry and Jake's just being dumb, but he will snap out of it. She tried to believe Embry, but as the days passed Jake grew more and more distant with her.
School went by slow, and during lunch was horrible, Penelope could have antlers growing out of her ass and Jake still wouldn't have noticed her. It crushed her. Why wasn't he talking to her and holding her like he normal does. Did he not want her anymore?
When school was over, Jake took Penelope home and instead of coming in so they can hang out, he said he had to work...again. Penelope just nodded and got out of the car, she didn't reach over to give him a kiss. Why would she. He hadn't shown any interest in her all damn day and now Penelope was just pissed.
She walked into her house. Her brother was home, he was in the living room snacking and watching TV. But instead of joining him she stormed off into her room and slammed the door. She threw her backpack down and went for her bed throwing herself face down into a pillow and letting out a frustrated scream. When she was done, she turned over and brushed her hair out of her face, and laid there. Thinking.
Her eyes searched the ceiling for answers, but sadly the ceiling wasn't going to give her any. If she wanted answers she would have to go out there and get them herself. So she sat up, more determined than ever. She was going to go to his job. And she was going to give herself to him, he never rejected her, even when while he was working at the warehouse. And if he did reject her, god she hoped he didn't, but if he did, then she might have her answer. She ran to the bathroom and took a shower, she didn't use scented stuff. Jake didn't like it, he said she had her own little scent and he like it. So she washed up and then wrapped herself in a towel, running off to her bedroom and closing the door behind her. She slipped on her lacy blue thong, they're Jake's favorite. He always talked about how nice her ass is, especially when she was in those. She smiled at the thought and slipped on some yoga pants and a gray shirt. She finished getting ready by throwing her blue hoodie on and her worn chucks.
Penelope walked out into the living room giving her brother a smile before turning into the kitchen and grabbing a cereal bar.
Travis raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going?"
Penelope threw her wrapper in the trash and grabbed her house keys. "To see Jake. I will be back before mom gets home, and call me is you go anywhere." She eyed him at the end and he just grunted a yea. Penelope nodded and walked out the house locking the door behind her.
When she walked up the warehouse where Jake worked she saw Quil and Embry unloading truck. She snuck up behind them with a big smile on her face.
"Boo!" She chuckled knowing for a fact she wouldn't be scaring them. They both turned towards her and smiled.
"Your lame Penny." Quil said as he lifted up and box and put it on the dolly next to them. Embry following behind him. "Yea, you thought you could scare the two most toughest guys in La Push?" Penelope just rolled her eyes at them with a small smile on her face. "Worth a shot."
Quil just patted her on the head. "So what brings you here today?"
Penelope blushed a little. "To see Jake." but it went away quickly when Embry and Quil looked at each other worriedly. "Hes not here is he?" She asked, but already knew the answer.
Before she could walk away and storm off to Jakes, Embry grabbed her arm. "Wait where you going?"
Penelope looked at his hand and he dropped it. "To Jakes. Why?"
This time Quil said something. "Why do you want to go there?" Penelope looked at him like he was stupid.
"Because he is my boyfriend and I want to see him, why else?"
"But hes busy." Quil blurted. Penelope inhaled deeply.
"When is he not." She muttered and walked away before Embry and Quil could say anything else.
Jakes house was only a 10 minute walk from his job . And when she got there, Jake's Rabbit was parked out front. But so was a old Honda. She frowned, the car looked awfully familiar. She walked up his porch and to the front door and knocked...No answer... Knocked again... Nothing. Just as she was about to knock again the door flew open with Jake standing there in nothing but boxers and sex hair, which she has seen a hundred times. The smile on his face dropped instantly.
"Penny." He muttered and Penelope's jaw clenched.
"What are you doing?" she asked tightly, taking in his appearance. He looked behind him, and that was his mistake, because Penelope shoved his chest pushing him back as she walked to his room, ignoring Jake.
What she saw in his bedroom made her heart break. In this room she gave herself to Jake, she gave him something that she couldn't take back, and she gave it to him on that bed, where Sophia Wilkins laid naked, with a stupid fucking smile on her face. Jacob came into sight and she looked at him, tears fuzzing up her sight.
"Why." She croaked, as her bottom lip trembled. Jacob just stood there, with a hard look on his face. Looking emotionless, and that made Penelope choke into a sob. For almost 2 years it was all about them. They loved each other, comforted each other, laughed together, and now it just turned into this in a week. What did she do to ever deserve this. Jake and her had there arguments but they were petty, and they always made up in the best possible way. She never cheated on him or gave him any reason to think she had. She had always been proud of Jake and their relationship. So why this?
She looked back up at Sophia then at Jake. She wiped her tears off her cheeks and took a deep breath. She made sure to make eye contact with Jake. She need all of his attention, just this last time.
"I don't know why you did this to me, and I probably never will, but I love you, all I did was love you. I don't deserve this, and you KNOW it." She said in a hard voice but then sighed letting her shoulders slump, she then took her eyes off him and looked at the light brown carpet. " This sucks, you know."
She stood there for a second, hoping Jake would say something, anything, but nothing came out of his mouth. The stupid girl didn't say anything either, just laid there in all her nakedness, making Penelope's stomach curl. So Penelope gave the room on last look and walked out. Leaving Jake and his business alone.
As she walked home, she did int look back, but she kept moving forward and away from Jake. She didn't need him, and he clearly isn't the one for here. But the one was out there, and eventually they would meet. But until then her main focus was getting the hell out of La Push.
When she got home her brother was still in the living room but was now doing homework and when he saw her he jumped up.
"You got mail!" he beamed. "Its on the table. Its from the University of Florida." He was right on her heals as she walked to the table and picked up the envelope. please let this be an acceptance letter.
She opened up the envelope and unfolded the the piece of paper. All she read was "Congratulations Penelope Littlesea", before she grabbed her brother and hugged him as tight as she could, crying happy and sad tears.
"I'm guessing you got accepted." Travis laughed hugging her back and Penelope nodded. "I did Travie, I did."
And she was finally leaving La Push.
