Chapter 1 : Last Supper
SMACK. My face had abruptly encountered the side of the car window. My dad had ran over a speed bump causing me to awake with confusion and a light throbbing of my jaw bone. I looked around with sleep in my eyes. We had pulled into a small super market parking lot.
"Good morning sleepy head." My dad said all to cheerily for my taste.
"Hmm...yeah, morning. What are we doing here?" I asked, trying to remember how long I have been asleep.
"I just stopped to get a bottle of wine to bring to the party tonight." my dad said. Party may not have been the right word. We were invited to have dinner at a friend of my dad's, the Black family. I made a noise of understanding and continued to take in the sights that were just out my window. If "sights" was the right word I don't know. A light mist of rain came down in sheets everywhere you looked making the gray cars, the gray houses the gray…everything look even more uninviting. I decided to stay in the car while my dad tried to find a decent bottle of wine.
While he does that I guess I'll fill you in a bit. My name is Silas Davenport and I am Seventeen years old. For most of my life I have lived in San Francisco with my mom, Helen and my dad Frank. My mom had gotten into the drug life there, practically destroying our family. After my dad tried to pull our lives back together…to save her, he had to let her go. It was one too many times he and I had found her shaking and bruised babbling about this and that; I as well couldn't take anymore. My heart couldn't take it. I miss her with everything I have. My dad's way of letting her go was committing her to drug rehab and moving to a small town called Forks. Its in Washington two states up from where I lived. I'm not really excited about this move. Being away from all my friends and losing every familiarity I have. As well as a small detail I have yet to tell you. I am gay. I won't lie to you, I am very nervous to see if that type of thing is accepted there. I'm not crazy gay and it's not even noticeable until I tell you. But I am the way that I am.
Rapped up in all my thoughts I hadn't noticed that my dad had jumped back into the car smiling apologetically with his hand outstretched. I looked down only to see my favorite candy in the world, Reese's peanut butter cups. I smiled and took them
"Thanks dad!" I said trying to sound as animated as I could. He has been trying to win me over ever since he had forced me to move to this place in bum-fuck no where. We were back on the road. I looked out my window only to see a sign saying "Welcome to Forks!" There wasn't an exclamation mark in the sign but, that's how I imagine someone saying it. To one side there was a little store called "Guns, Fishing and other stuff" with many wooden statues of different animals. Great. I'm in the land where everyone has a sofa on their front porch. We took a left down a street that led to a cul-de-sac. There was only one house at the end with a forest enveloping the outer rim filling in the place where you'd have thought other houses would have gone.
"Welcome home Silas." my dad exclaimed. I looked up at the two leveled house. It could be worse.
"So, go put your suitcase up in your room and get ready for dinner. We have to be on our way to the Black's house in about 45 minutes." my dad said sternly. Well, That didn't seem like very much time I thought. I jumped out of the car and pulled my things out of the trunk and started dragging them up the steps. Luckily though my dad had our furniture pre-shipped to our house last week. I walked into the house that, I guess…is where I lived now. There was steps up to left which hid the entryway into the kitchen. The living room was off to the right. I made my way up the stairs peeking into each room until I found my bed at the end of the hall. The room was perfectly square with a walk in closet off to the left and a window on the far wall where, the stupid movers had put my bed under. Note to self…fix that later. I hoisted my suitcase on to my bed and rummaged through my clothes until I found something suitable to wear. After I jumped into the shower which was just out my room and to the right, I quickly washed and practically ran back to my room to get dressed.
" Five minutes!" I heard my dad yell from the bottom of the stairs. I quickly looked into the mirror that had been propped up on to the wall. I put on my dark blue jeans and a nice white t-shirt and a charcoal colored vest. The jeans made my ass look good and the vest really made my light definition in my chest and arms stand out. I took one last look in the mirror fixing my light brown hair into a kind off shaggy fox hawk and then ran down the stairs just to ketch my dad about to yell back up at me.
"Okay! Ready." I said with a half smile.
"You remind me of your mother with how long you take to get ready." he laughed. I didn't. Too soon dad, too soon. I just half smiled and walked out side to get into the car.
Before I knew it we were pulling up into the Blacks driveway. We had to drive a ways into the forest before we had gotten there. My dad explained to me that they lived down by the beach in a reservation called La Push. My ears perked up when he said beach. He seemed to notice and told me it wasn't like the beaches back in San Francisco. My dad knocked on the door and we waited. All of a sudden I was really nervous. What if the only people my dad knew didn't like me? I hope I don't let him down. The door swung open abruptly and a woman sat there smiling.
"You must be Frank." She said more like a statement than a question but friendly all the same. My dad cleared his throat
"Yep, and this is my son Silas" he moved out of the way so she could see me. She smiled and I noticed a bit of scaring on the right side of her face. I dropped my stare not wanting to be rude.
"I'm Emily, Sam's Fiancée." I smiled like I knew who that was.
"It's nice to meet you Emily." She invited us in and my dad gave her the wine bottle. She smiled and thanked him and led us to the dinning room. I wasn't prepared for what I was about to see. As I turned the corner there was a long table that had quite a few people sitting around it, chatting, hollering, all seeming to be having a great time. I felt like an intruder. A man in a wheel chair came up to my dad.
"I can't believe my eyes. It this the same Frank Davenport now with a kid attached to his hip?" the man chuckled. I on the other hand blushed quite profusely.
"Damn it Billy. You haven't changed a bit. Where is your kid?" My dad bantered.
"He's upstairs getting ready. He was out in the shop working on his bike till about five minutes ago." Billy laughed. I looked up at my dad trying not to ketch the stares by the others already sitting at the table. As if snapped back to reality my dad turned to me and introduced me to Billy.
"It's nice to finally meet Franks boy." he said with his hand outstretched.
I shook it firmly. He then turned to the table and introduced me to Sam, Embry, Quil, Jared, Paul, Seth, Leah and Emily, I had already met. We then all sat around the table getting ready to eat. One chair was still empty though. Just as I was about to take my first bite, a boy about my age ran into the room and halted as everyone looked up at him. He was wearing a black fitted V-neck shirt with light brown cargo shorts and bare feet. His black hair was tousled and messed up but….it fit. He had golden muscled skin and a face that made me melt and if that weren't enough, he had the perfect white smile. That until this exact moment I hadn't realized was directed at me.
"Hey, I'm Jacob. " he said with a bemused grin. I had then realized not only did he just speak to me but because he had appeared so suddenly, that first bite I was about to take…Remember? Was half way to my open mouth. Awesome. I closed my mouth fast and mechanically and put my fork on my plate. I ignored the weird glances I was getting from everyone else. Especially my dad. He gets weird about the whole gay thing sometimes.
"Nice to meet you Jacob. I'm Silas, Frank's son." I exclaimed, smiling trying to cover up my embarrassment from the moment that just took place.
"That's an awesome name." he said as he sat in the once empty seat across from me. My only reply was a blush so deep that I swear it had come from deep within. Everyone else seemed to be chatting away so Jacob and I just made light conversation about forks and everything it has to offer. Which was not much I have to admit. Our conversation may have been sorta dull but I knew I didn't want it to stop and…strangely enough he kept the conversation going. All of a sudden my focus seemed to shatter as someone was calling my name.
"So Silas, tell us about yourself." It was Billy. I turned slightly red once again and glanced quickly at Jacob who smiled at me politely. I cleared my throat.
"Er..well back in San Francisco I used to be on the track team and I love to swim. " I explained, not sure of what else to say.
"Well I think you will fit right in with our pack here. These boys spend all day down at the beach in the water. When it's nice out of course." he laughed lightly. Yeah how many nice days are there in this town? I could probably count them on one hand. I wonder why he said pack? Kind of a weird word to say. Jacob turned to me and smiled.
"I can show you the beach tomorrow if you want?"
"Yeah, that would be awesome." I said wanting just another chance to spend time with him. Wow, what's going on with me? I'm not one to really go crazy over a guy but damn. He was hot. I laughed to myself. I was brought back to earth by a question I obviously missed.
"Um Sorry what?" I laughed it off.
" Did you have to break some girl's heart when you moved?" Emily sweetly asked.
"Ah….oh no…no broken hearts here." I blushed. These moments are always awkward and I just try to figure out how I can best deviate from this subject. I could see Jacob looking at me out of the corner of his eye. My dad all of a sudden laughed said,
"No girl's heart anyway." My heart jumped into my throat. I looked at my dad with wide eyed shock.
"What heart did he break then?" Quil piped up. It was like I was frozen. My eyes locked with Jacob's, he had a look of confusion on his face. Responding to my panic ridden face or the odd comment my dad made I don't know which. I just wanted to keep my eyes on him for a few moments longer before I knew I would never see him again.
"No one's yet but one day for sure I know he will break some boy's poor heart." he laughed. The minute I could see Jacob's expression of understanding I jumped up with tears in my eyes.
"Dad, I think you've had enough wine!" I yelled and grabbed the glass. I started making my way towards the door. Out of the corner of my eye I could see two people stand up. My dad and Jacob. I turned around as I reached the entry way.
"How could YOU! You ruin everything!" I half groaned and half yelled at my advancing father.
"Ugh!" I screamed as I realized I had squeezed the wine glass a little too hard, having it shatter into a million pieces which now resided in my hand. I ran for the door opening it with my non-injured hand and exiting as fast as I could making sure to shut it right in my dad's face. I began to run, not knowing exactly where though for two reasons. One, I'm in the god damned forest and two, My eyes were blurry from the constant cascade of tears flooding them to the brim. I was stumbling through trees and brush just trying to run from their judging faces. Their shock…their disgust. I saw light ahead. I ran for it. Maybe it was another ridiculously small store of sorts. When I cleared the forest it was just the moonlight…cascading its reflection across a sea of waves. I could feel the rock under my feet. It wasn't like home at all. I lost it. I fell to my knees crying like I never had. I felt like my one chance of being accepted was over. The word would get around this town so fast that I would be over before I began. I clenched the gravel in my hands like it was all that was holding me up.
"I guess I wont have to show you the beach after all. Seems like you found it on your own." I doubled back looking into the darkness frantically. All I could see was a silhouette in the baby blue light.
