Chapter 2-Calling Bells
Jacob was now three years and one day old. After his party had ended, his new friend Bells had to go home. Jacob was not happy about this. He had thrown a huge strop until his Mum had picked him up apologising to Bella's dad, who everyone called the 'Chief' or 'Old man'. Jacob was now sitting in his front yard with Quil. They had been making mud pies but Jacob decided that Quil was not very good at making them. Bells were much better.
Quil had called Jacob a liar when he had first arrived with his parents to play. Jacob had divulged the day before about his new found knowledge that if you kissed and hugged a girl they would smile and be your friend. Quil had tried this theory out on Leah and had been slapped for his pains. Quil maintained that he knew everything and that Bells must not be a proper girl if she liked making mud pies. Jacob went into full pout mode over this and Quil had received his second slap in two days after announcing that.
Quil's mum had come out of the house on hearing Qul's cries and picked him up cuddling and kissing him. Quil had then poked out his tongue at Jacob as he was carried into the house. Jacob retreated back to his hideout in the old garage. He was going to change his secret password now so that Quil could not enter. His new password would be Bells.
Time passed. Quil had been taken home and Jacob was bored. He was sitting in his bedroom. He had tried to play with his sisters, but as usual Rach and Beck had shouted at him to go away and leave them alone. Jacob decided that being three was no better than when he was two. He wanted to speak to Bells. She was nice. She could come round and make mud pies again. Maybe they could make some for dinner. They looked like chocolate. They must taste the same. Jacob ran out into the living area where the phone was located.
He had seen his Dad use the phone on plenty of occasions when he would talk to the Chief. He had learned that all the numbers were programmed into the phone's memory. Jacob was clever. He would tell this to Quil and Embry tomorrow. He picked up the receiver and scrolled down all the numbers. But Jacob did not know which number was the Chief's. Tears started to pool in his eyes and he began to vent his frustration. Loud hiccupping sobs brought Jacob's mum running in from the kitchen.
"What's the matter sweetie?" she crooned.
"I wanna call Bells. I wanna call Bells!" Jacob cried.
"Who's Bells?" his mum asked confused.
"Bells. I wanna Bells to play. Chief gotta bring Bells."Jacob was getting very red faced. His mum pulled him in for a reassuring hug and kissed his head. Jacob started to calm down.
"Do you mean you want Bella Swan to come and play again? Like yesterday."She guessed.
Jacob nodded. He gave his mum a big beam."I wanna call Chief and he bring Bells."
"Jacob his name is Charlie not chief and the girl is called Bella not Bells. Now try and say Bella." His mum asked.
Jacob frowned. "Bwella."
"No. Bella."
"Bwella." Jacob said again.
His mum rolled her eyes. "I think Bells will do."
"Bells, "Jacob copied.
An hour later the sound of the police cruiser brought Jacob to the window. He saw the Chief open the door and Bells got out from the passenger side. He was out the door in an instant. He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him over to Bella. Unfortunately his forward momentum propelled him straight into Bella causing them both to fall back into the muddy grass. Bella screeched as for the second day in a row she was covered in mud.
Jacob's mum came running and picked Jacob up as the Chief did the same with Bella. "I am so sorry Charlie he was just so eager to see Bella." His mum apologised.
Jacob knew that when you have done something wrong you have to say sorry. So he did. "Sorry old man, err Chief ...C...Charlie." he blurted out.
There was a short silence as everyone took a second to take in what he had just said. Then Bells started to giggle and all the grownups joined in. Jacob stood and smiled widely. Not only did he know how to make mud pies and call Bells but he was now funny too. Wait until he told Quil and Embry this.
He took Bells by the hand as he had the day before and they headed off towards his hideout. The grownups watched as the two children toddled off and they smiled.
