It had been months since I had seen or heard any news of Bella or those filthy Cullens... It didn't bother me that much. Bella had given up on me, so I had no choice but to do the same. Yeah it's been hard, but i'm tough. I'll surive.
I was laying on my too small bed when Billy wheeled himself into my room. "Jacob. You need to do something with yourself. You can't just sit here and mope. It's unhealthy. I miss seeing the spark in you eye. Hell, I miss seeing any emotion in your eyes... Maybe you can call Quill or Embry. I'm sure they miss you."
With a sigh I sat up. "Fine." I mumbled. "I'm going out. Maybe with Quill. I don't know. I don't know when I'll be back either..."
"Jacob. That's not what I ment. I just want you to feel better. You can only get better if you move on... She's not coming back..."
That hit a nerve. I sprang from my bed, pushing past my dad, and ran outside. Not even three steps out the door and I exploded. The monster inside me took over and I was running. My giant paws dug into the damp earth with all the force I had in me. I was sprinting through the woods. Trees were passing me in a blur. The only thing in my mind was the sound of the wind whipping past my ears. I had no choice but to run. Run intil I couldn't run maymore...
Lilly's POV
As I stepped off the plane I was greeted by a light mist that dampend my hair. I fumbled around nervously with my luggage, wishing someone would stop and offer to help. As i began to take my first step, a handle from my duffle bag wrapped around my foor and sent me foward. I braced myself for concrete impact, but instead I hit a wall of flesh. I looked up to see uncle Charlie.
"Hey Kiddo. Long time no see." Charlie hugged me and stood me upright.
"Hi Charlie." I smiled. Heat was filling my face. I looked down blushing. I swear my feet would be the death of me...
"I see your still as clumsy as always." Charlie ruffled my hair loveingly. I smiled a little and pulled away.
After some small talk and lunch at the airport, we headed to the police cruser and started off. Charlie said Bella and Edward were off on some summer vacation in Africa. I was jealous. This is the farthest i've ever been away form my Indina home. But time with uncle Charlie would be good. He needed someone since Bella had gradiuated.
About an hour later, we arrived at the house. Nothing had changed... I guess that was alright. It still had the same homey feel. Charlie had led me up to the old guest room, and my new room. With a thank you, he left me to unpack and get settled.
After my clothes were unpacked and put away, I grabbed my pj's and headed to the bathroom to shower. The warm water felt good aganist my cold skin. Once clean, i wrapped a fuzzy towel around myself and looked into the mirror. I raked my fingers through my long dark brown hair that fell to the middle of my back. My flawless skin was pale for a girl with country roots. My bright gold eyes had circles under them from loss of sleep. I sighed and brushed my teeth and pulled on my old pj's.
Once finished, I headed down the stairs to have dinner. Charlie made sandwitches. Yummy. I'd have to go shopping for him later. A cook book was a good idea too.
Sitting at the old little table, Charlie and I began catching up. He also filled me in on my new school which would start in a few weeks. My tone darkended at the thought of being the new kid. Charlie saw my sudden change, and pulled up a brighter topic. "I have a suprise for you."
"Oh? Uh... Ok. What is it?"
"Bella's old truck. It's all yours. Edward bought her some new fancy sports car, and said I could have the truck back. Now it's yours."
I smiled huge. "Awesome! Thank you so much!" He smiled and began eatting, embarassed by my reacton.
After dinner I went back up to my room. I sat at the window looking out at the black sky. Rain fell in buckets and trees whipped back and forth in the strong wind. For some reason, I felt compleatly at ease. Maybe life in Forks would be better then i thought.
