Recap:
"Be safe" I said and I gave him one last quick kiss. I closed the window and began my journey. Forks here I come.
Chapter one:
The plane ride was anything but interesting; I put in my MP3 player and listened to the soothing sounds of Lady Gaga singing one of my favorite songs, No Floods the whole way. When we got to Forks it started raining that was when I decided to finally call Bella and tell her I am moving here, hopefully for good.
"Hello?" Charlie answered confused to who it may be on the phone.
"Charlie its Jayde is Bella home?"
"Um yes she is ill go get her." Charlie sounded sad when he spoke of her. "Bella, phone for you." I could hear him yell up to her.
"Hello?" she sounded like she had been crying. What happened to her while I was gone?
"Bella, Hon, are you okay?" She must have heard the worried tone in my voice because she cleared her throat.
"Who is this?" She couldn't recognize me?
"Bella, its Jayde. What's wrong?" she wasn't answering my questions. That was a bad sign.
"Jayde," she perked up a little, "I haven't talked to you in such a long time I didn't recognize you. What's up?" "Duh she didn't recognize me." I shook my head.
"Bella, should I be asking you that question?"
"No I'm fine, so what's up?" She was still avoiding the questions. I would get it out of her eventually.
"Well I'm moving Bella, for one." I should make her guess. Ha.
"You're moving away from Phoenix? Are you going back to Milwaukee?" "Why would I move back there she knows that I would only go back there if I was forced, and no one would force me to go back there. Something must really be wrong"
"Um no, guess again."
"You know I'm no good at these games Jayde tell me." She sounded a little better, but I could tell it took a lot of effort to make it that way.
"I'll give you a hint it rhymes with dorks."
"You're moving to Forks?! Really, when are you coming out?" She was genuinely exited now, I am glad I could make her happy. By now my Chris had started driving away from our new house and was heading some where different. I tapped him on the shoulder and he mouthed "Bella's house." sweet.
"I'm not going to tell you." I love teasing her like this.
"Come on, please." I laughed, she sounded desperate. We pulled up to a small house and my dad instructed me to go up to the door. It was a small house, but it was nice. I walked up.
"Sorry, Bells, I don't think I can." I rang the door bell, and Charlie opened the door I signaled him to be quiet. He nodded and pointed to the kitchen where I could see Bella impatiently twitching.
"You're killing me Jayde." She wined, and I tried to keep quiet while I sneaked into the kitchen. I got behind her, "Jayde, you still there?" and poked her side. She screamed and turned around. "JAYDE!"
"Hey girl," I hugged her, and she squeezed me with as much force as she could, maybe things could be the same between us.
"Oh my god, how long have you been here?" She was still screaming.
"Bella, do my ears a favor and lower the decibel level a little, ouch." I pretended to wince in pain. "I just got here, like a few minuets ago."
"This is so great, let me tell you that you have the perfect timing, I was just about to go insane."
"Does that mean you will tell me why you're so glum?" I was starting to get worried about her. She looked different, and not a good different.
"Yeah, come on let's go up stares." I could hear Chris and Charlie talking and catching up in what I guessed was the living room. The rain slowed to a drizzle.
"Okay," I said once we were both sitting on separate ends of her twin bed, "spill, what is going on with you?"
"The truth?" She sounded very wary.
"Yes." I spoke firmly grabbing her hands for support and she started balling. "What happened to her?" "Bella, Bella, calm down, tell me what's wrong?" "She spilled alright."
"Well, I met a guy…" she trailed off; I shook my head, she would be crying over guy trouble.
"Bella, tell me."
"Well I thought he loved me, but he left, and, and" she broke off sobbing again. I cradled her to me. She could tell me the rest later. Just thinking of what kind of guy would leave her like this made me want to kick his ass.
"Shh, Bella, love; everything will be okay." She sobbed more I didn't understand why she would be like this, over a boy. "Guy's are dumb, and this guy must be a real ass whole if he left you. You are the most amazing girl I have met." I was getting madder at this jerk." I heard the door ring, but I kept comforting Bella. I could hear what they were saying.
"Hello, Jacob, this is my friend Chris Saxton, he just moved here. His daughter Jayde, and Bella have been friends for quite some time."
"Nice to meet you; Charlie, how is she?"
"I don't know; she and Jayde are upstairs now if you want to go up." Was this the boy she was crying over, if it was, I would kill him. He walked the upstairs and headed toward Bella's room.
"Bella, Shh" I sat her up and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face like a river, at least she had stopped sobbing. "Now tell me where this guy is and I will kick him so hard he won't be able to have kids anymore." I spoke loud enough so that I was sure that this 'Jacob' character could hear.
"No, no please don't its fine" she said in a weak voice. Jacob walked into the room, but I was focusing on Bella.
"Bells honey, what's wrong." He said going over to her side and hugging her. I glared at him and Bella saw, she shook her head.
"No, Jayde, this isn't him. This is Jake; he has been helping me through this." I nodded. "Ill be right back." She said.
"Do you want me to come with you?" I offered."
"No, I'm just going to the bathroom." After she left I faced Jacob, and him offered my hand.
"Hi, I'm Jayde Saxton. I am sorry we had to meet under these circumstances" He took my hand and shook it.
"Jacob Black, do you know what is wrong with her this time?" 'This time' I guess this happens often. I could tell that he was concerned about her.
"I don't really know. She was telling me about how her boyfriend left and then she started crying." He nodded. "Care to tell me what is really going on?" he didn't seem willing to tell me, and I would rather hear it from Bella, but I was worried she wouldn't be able to handle telling me the whole story.
"Sure, she and her stupid boyfriend, Edward Cullen" he spit the name with hatred, and I could tell we already shared a dislike for this 'Edward'. He went on "they were in love supposedly, but then he left her and left me to pick up the pieces. At first she acted like nothing mattered, she was a robot; all she did was eat, drink, go to school and work, and then come home just to cry her self to sleep. Then she came over to my house one day and we stared hanging out. This is the closest to normal she has been since he left."
"Wow" some much has happened to her, I feel so bad for her. "You won't have to worry about her about taking care of her anymore I can take care of that." I meant it to sound nice, but he took it as an insult.
"Um, what do you mean, 'I won't have to worry about her about taking care of her anymore?' You think you can do a better job of taking care of her?" He obviously had a temper problem, but then again so do I.
"I have been her best friend for five years I think I can handle it just fine." I was keeping my voice down so that Bella wouldn't hear.
"Oh yeah, if you've been her best friend for so long, then why didn't you know anything? Why did you have to find out secondhand?" He was really pissing me off.
"Look it doesn't matter, we are both here to help her, and I could have found out from her, but it looks like it is painful for her to talk about. I don't want to see her sad, and neither does any one else so cool it." I didn't want to fight right now.
"Fine" he took my much needed advice and calmed down. Bella walked back into the room and sat next to me. I wasn't going to gloat, but I knew she trusted me more.
"I'm sorry you had to see that," she looked from Jacobs face to mine, "both of you."
"Everything is going to be fine Bella, and you don't have to worry about anything I- we see you do. We are here for you. Now what can I do to make this better?" I said pulling her into my lap and putting my hands around her. Jacob was looking at us like he thought there was more going on with us than just being friends. "If I were a lesbian I would defiantly wear the pants in the relationship." Bella blushed and just to make Jacob more uncomfortable I kissed Bella's cheek. "That's the Bella I know and love." I whispered into her neck.
"Jacob I swear I'm not a lesbian." I had to laugh at that. Jacob joined in after a second.
"You sure about that, babe." I reached over, pretending to kiss her lips, I got a centimeter away before Jacob coughed, and I pulled away. She quickly got out of my lap to look at me an incriminating look on her face. She went to sit in Jacob's lap instead. Ugh.
"Positive" she laughed at me I was pouting. Jacob laughed again.
"Wow the two of you really are closer than I thought." Jacob laughed and we gave into a truce. We both cared about Bella and neither of us wanted to hurt her already fragile self with our fighting.
"From the looks of it Bella has a new boyfriend now." He was cradling her so gently, like she was this precious bubble that needed to be cared for. I could admire him for his sweetness; Jacob wasn't as bad as I thought. Bella blushed, a deep red, again, but Jacob sighed. He wanted to be more than friends it was obvious, but clueless Bella had no idea. I would be nice and help him with this I decided.
"Jacob and I are just friends, Jayde." Bella stated, glaring at me.
"Sure you are 'just friends' now, but wait I see a major make-out session in both of your futures." I said laughing. He winked, Bella glared, and I snickered. They would make such a cute couple. "Don't be mad Bells, the two of you look cute together, I want to be your maid of honor for predicting this." This time both Jacob, even though it wasn't very noticeable with his dark skin being Indian myself I could tell he was, and Bella were blushing.
"Don't pick out your dress quite yet Jayde. I'm not getting married any time soon."
"You never said it wasn't going to be to Jake though" "Huh, why had I called him Jake?" Both of their blushes deepened.
"Do I hear that Bella and Jake are together now?" Charlie interrupted us; he was giving Chris a tour of the Swan residence.
"No dad we're not." Bella practically yelled. Jacobs face fell. I mouthed sorry to him realizing that he had really been hoping that she would say yes.
"Sorry bud I must have heard wrong" he immediately left, I feel like he was used to her mood swings.
"Bella are you hungry, or thirsty?" I snick a look to Jake and he understood.
"Um, I'm a little thirsty why?"
"Ill get you something, what would you like?" she looked confused.
"A soda would be nice." She said
"Jacob would you show me where I could get a couple sodas?" he checked to see whether he would be able to leave without causing another one of Bella's mood swings. She was fine with is leaving, as well as clueless as to why he was leaving.
"Sure, Sure" he got up and we walked to the kitchen. "You don't want me to show you where the sodas are, do you?" He was smart.
"Nope, I want to help you get the girl." He was dumbfounded. I laughed. "Oh, come on you the way you look at her, you're in love, dude. Also I doubt she is far from liking you back." I said regulating my voice so that know one would hear me.
"I do not love her. Also you have got to be kidding me, why would you want to help me anyway?" he was in denial.
"It is obvious that you 'like' her Jake, and I'm helping you as payback for helping her when I wasn't. I want to ask you something though before I help you."
"And what would that be." He crossed his arms against his chest and for the first time I noticed how strong he was. Really that was the first time I ever really looked at him. He wasn't bad looking at all, he was the opposite, and I would even go as far as call him hot. "I have a boyfriend. Snap out of it."
"Where is Edward Cullen?" He didn't notice my lingering eyes.
"Like I know, why?"
"He deserves an ass kicking for hurting Bella this way."
"Huh, looks like we have something in common. We both hate that bl- jerk."
"Yeah…"
