Critical Mass begins with Bella looking for Jacob trying to confront him about his absence from her life. Oh yeah, I don't own stuff or things.
The phone rang, I got up to answer it expecting it to be Charlie. With my recent lack of friends including my very best Jacob, it couldn't be anyone special to expect on the other end of the line.
"Hello?" I asked tired and unenthusiastically.
"Bella, I need to talk to you!" I was shocked, it took me a few seconds to say anything. I almost dropped the receiver.
"Ja-Jake, where have you been?! I haven't heard from you in weeks!" I screeched, I could feel all of my pent up emotions start rising up and out of my throat.
"Bella, I know, I'm sorry I can't explain right now but if you could just meet me this afternoon I want to...try to explain." Jacob sounded desperate and out of breath, I couldn't understand why this was all happening now. "Meet me in La Push by the beach in an hour."
"Jake I'm really not supposed to go near there, my dad says their have been bear attacks, I told him I wouldn't."
Jacob snorted, "Bella, really you don't need to worry about that, I'll protect you if any...bears come around. Just meet me there in an hour, that's all I'm asking"
I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn't see me. "I need answers Jake." I replied angrily.
"And you will get those when you meet me at the beach in an hour." Jacob hung up. I guess I really didn't have another choice. I missed him and really needed the answers to why he was avoiding me.
I didn't want to wait the whole hour, I wrote a note for Charlie to find after he got off work
Hey Dad I'm with Jacob were going to go get something to eat, leftovers are in fridge, I'll be back in a little while.
I left the note on the kitchen table, grabbed my coat and headed out to the truck. As I was making my way to La Push it felt like I had a million different theories running through my head of what Jacob was going to tell me. I had to stop thinking all together before I had a panic attack.
