It had been a while after the incident with James, that Edward started acting weird. He started being distant. So, I decided to go visit him and see what was up.
"Charlie, Can I go out?"
"Where?" Charlie asked muffled my his need-to-be-trimmed moustache.
"To go see Ed- Alice."
Charlie looked at me suspiciously, but he knew he couldn't deny Alice.
"Be careful."
"I always am," I insured as I raced out the door, only to find my self slipping on the steps. With a vampire boyfriend, I really need to be more careful. So, I got up and double-clutched my overused ancient truck and drove over to Edward's.
When I got there, I was greeted by a dull Alice. I knew something was up.
"What's wrong, Alice?"
She shook her little fairy-like head. Now I knew something was up. Alice not babbing on? Definetly not average everyday Alice.
"Come in," She greeted me in with a fake smile.
All the Cullens were sitting on couches. Not normal Cullen behavior. Emmett was the only one who looked up at me, and he didn't even say anything, he just put his head back down. "What's going on?"
Nobody answered. I looked around.. Something wasn't right.
"Wait.. Wher-?"
Everyone looked up with sad eyes. All 6 pairs of eyes. Only 6... Alice ran in the back with her hands covering her face. Rosalie walked out of the room with her head down and Emmett followed her. The room slowly evacuated. It was horrible to see Esme like that. But Carlisle was the last one to leave. He left staring at me with the saddest look I have ever seen out of anyone. Even worse thsn Charlie when I left him to go to Arizona.
"Bella," Edward called.
I walked into his room, and if he could cry, he would be crying right now.
"What's wrong?"
I could hear Alice screaming in the next room. This couldn't be good.
Edward cringed. "Jasper.."
"What?"
"H- He provoked the Volturi and was ripped apart.."
I started crying. "J-Jasper."
"I know."
Alice's screaming worsened. It was unbearable to hear. I ran out the front door and drove to the only place I could be happy right now. La Push.
I saw Jacob outside. Shirtless of course. I could still hear Alice's screams as Jacob gave me a glare. He knew something was up.
"Bella!" He basically yanked my car door open like it was nothing. And that thing is heavy.
"Hey Jake," I tried to say as cheerful as possible. I knew by what he said next, that I could never make it as an actress.
"What's wrong?"
I did the worst attempt at a smile ever. Serious fail.
"Bella.. Even Charlie could tell you're lying. And he is basically oblivious to everything. Like I could walk into your house as a wolf and he wouldn't even see me."
"That's not true.. Well, maybe only if a Mariners' game was on.. But that's it!"
Jacob smiled and walked with me into his living room. That's basically where we hung out when Billy wasn't home.
"So, can you tell me what's wrong now? Watch it be something REALLY stupid that gets me nervous for nothing!"
"Jasper got murdered.."
"Uhh.. I take that last part back.."
"Yeah.."
"Wait.. Which one is- well, was Jasper again?"
"The blonde one who looks like he's in pain," I perfectly quoted Jessica.
"Oh.. That's a shame.. I actually kinda liked him.. Wasn't he Alice's boyfriend or mate thingy?"
"Good boy!" I patted Jake's scruffy hair.
"I'm NOT a dog.."
"Sure you're not.. Anyways, Alice is taking it pretty rough." Just thinking about Alice's screams made me cringe.
"You okay?"
"Yeah.. I'm just thinking about how heartbreaking it was to see Alice like that.."
"Bella, I'm really sorry.. I know you're really close with that Alice chick, and suprisingly, I actually feel kinda bad for her.."
I gave Jake a huge bear-hug. His large hands covered my back and I had to stretch my arms around all of his.. Muscles.
"You know Jake, I never realized everytime I hug you, I get an exercise too.."
"Then maybe you should hug me more often.."
"Are you trying to say I'm fat?"
"Typical girl overreaction.. No.. I'm trying to say I like hugging you!"
"Then why didn't you just say it?"
"Because it's not as fun!"
"Wow Jake! You talk about me being overdramatic.."
Jake gave me that 'Go-to-hell' look he always gives me when he knows I'm right..
Me and Jacob spent the rest of the afternoon eating Pringles and watching TV. Typical guy stuff. It's better than hanging out with Alice.. She just makes me put on make-up and makes me buy clothes. Waste of her money. I never pay for them, because I never wear them. I just slip them into Alice's closet and hopes she thinks they're hers when she sees then. Soon, Jake left to go to the restroom, so I snuck into his room to check out his random crap. Ugh. Messy drawers.
"Wow, Jake, you really need to be more organized.."
"You went in my room?"
"Sorry.. It's just kind of appealing to me.."
"Uhh.. Sure it is.. And since when did you care about organization?"
"Since now, I guess.."
Jake plopped down on his bed as I scavengered through all of his drawers.
"Jake, what is this?" I asked as I showed him a brown leather-like material book with a paw print on the front.
"Oh nothing.. Just give me that," he tried to snatch it, but it was too late..
"Is this a diary?"
"No.." Jake grinned
"Jake.."
"IT'S A JOURNAL!"
I laughed and sat down next to Jacob on his bed. He was so warm. He's like my own personal oven.
"Bella, Can I tell you something?"
"Uhh.. Sure?"
"I l- Well, it'll be better to just show you.."
"Wh-"
Jacob's warm lips interrupted my questioning. It caught my by suprise, but I didn't stop him. It was so different to what I was used to. Warmth. Force. Passion. I opened my mouth and felt Jacob's hot breath hit my tongue. It felt.. Good.. I pushed Jacob's massive body onto the bed and kissed him even more passionately now. We moved our lips together perfectly. In complete sync. I ran my fingers through his hair and slowly pulled off his shirt. I ran my fingers down his stomach and gripped onto his shoulders as I controlled him. Soon, we were interrupted by Billy rolling into the house.
"Great.." Jacob murmured.
I quickly got up, pulled Jacob's shirt back onto him, and left.
What was I gonna do? All I could think about is Jacob's lips against mine.. Warm, soft.. Ugh I had to get over it.. Edward was already waiting for me.. I didn't know if he knew or not, but he didn't know I was at La Push.. So, either way, I was in alot of trouble. I walked up to Edward nervously.
"Hey."
"You went to La Push?"
"Ye-"
"You don't know how worried I was.."
"Chil-"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why does it ma-"
"Werewolves are not good company.."
"Are you gonna let me finish one thing? Edward, Jacob IS good company.. Sometimes, better company than you can be.. I will be fine! You don't have to worry about me every second of the day.. I have gotten along perfectly for the first 17 years of my life without you, and when you act like this, I wish I still would be living without you!"
Edward looked horrified.
"Well, if that's what you want.."
"E-Edward, NO!"
"Bella, why all of the sudden do you defend him over me?"
I walked over to my car, but he was already there.
"Are you gonna answer?"
I got in and drove away. Edward isn't very good at social communtication skills. Well, what can you expect from a 109 year old vampire? Things have changed since 1918. When I got home, Charlie had somethings to talk to me about.
"Why are you late?"
"Chill, I was with Jake.."
"Oh, nevermind.."
I walked into the kitchen and called Jake.
"Hey Jake, can you come over?"
Jacob sounded excited to hear my voice..
"Of course! I mean.. sure..."
I hung up the phone, and changed into the 'cutest' shorts and tank top I could find. I finally managed with an "Alice-approved" wardrobe. When Jacob got there, he was wearing the usual. Blue jean shorts with no shirt. How can he look that good, without even trying?
"Hey Bella."
I loved hearing Jacob's voice. It was so smooth and flawless.
"Hey.. Jake.."
Jacob sat down on my bed and admired the beads sewn into the comforter.
"Wow Jake, you admire alot of simple things.. That's one of the things I like about you," I said as I sat down next to him. I could tell he was happy that 'I' 'like' and 'you' were in the same sentence. Jacob smiled and looked around my room.
"Jake, you know, about the other day..."
"I know. I know. It was just another mistake.." I could tell he was upset about it.
"No.. I was actually gonna say that it meant alot to me. It made me sure of my feelings."
Jacob looked completely shocked. While it was fresh, I pulled myself closer to Jacob, and well, took advantage of his lips. We slowly moved to where he was lying down, with me on top of him. I rubbed my hands all over his muscular torso, feeling every turn and edge. He wrapped his arms and hands all around my body in a way that was so romantic, yet sexy. I slowly pulled off my shirt and laid back on top of him. Soon, he and I were almost naked. That was the moment where Edward hopped through my window.
