Between The Two
Chapter 2
"Lena its time to wake up!" Billy yelled rolling in.
"No, can I skip school today?" It was a reflex.
"No you have to go to school Lena!" Billy yelled. It took me a second to realize I had finished school yesterday. Billy just thought I would fall for his prank and get ready for school.
"Ha ha very funny Billy!" I yelled getting out of bed. I got dressed comfy because I knew there was a long car drive ahead of me. I slid in my socks to the kitchen.
"You excited?" Billy asked sipping his morning coffee.
"Yup!" I cheered. Jake stumbled out of his room.
"Morning Jake!" I chirped in a singsong voice. He replied with a grunt.
"Jake can you go to my room and get my suite case and the book I left on my bookcase."
"Sure.." He said rubbing his face. I took out orange juice and started to eat my breakfast. Jake came walking out without my stuff instead he was holding a piece of paper.
"What is that Jake?" I looked at the paper closer. Shit! I quickly turned to Billy wide eyed who returned the expression. Jake was holding Bella's wedding invitation. I hid it from Jake so he could heal without any more pain from Bella. He had so many broken ribs that I thought he had enough pain for the time being. I was going to give it to him when he was better but the time was never right.
"When did you get this?" Jake looked at me.
"Jake it was for your own good. I was going to show you when you got..."
"WHEN DID YOU GET THIS?" he yelled before I could finish my sentence.
"A couple month ago... After the battle..." I looked at the ground.
"Lena I know you mean well but sometimes ...I wish you weren't apart of my life..." He pushed past me, ran out the door and phased. All I could do was stand there frozen.
"He doesn't mean it he's just angry..." Billy said. I wanted to believe that but all I could hear was Jakes words echoing in my head. It hurt... A lot. More then anything Jake has said to me.
"I'm gonna go meet Seth now..." I tried to hold back the tears but I let one slip.
"Lena he really doesn't mean it you know how he is..." Billy tried to comfort me.
"Yea I do and I know when Jake lies..." I turned to Billy.
"He doesn't look me in the eyes when he lies but this time... He did" I crossed my arms and walked to my room. I grabbed my suite case and walked out the door. It was only a matter of time before I started to cry. Just like everyone Jake didn't want me around... Just like my family in Vancouver... And just like my real mom.
I stopped crying eventually and Skye and her parents pulled up in the mini van. They had already picked up Joey and Caleb. I sat in the back by myself. Joey, Caleb and Skye sat in the 3 seats in the front. We were lucky that Skye's parents owned a mini van with 3 seats in the front and 3 seats in the back. All you had to do was fold one of the seats in the middle to get to back, which was a hassle, but it was worth it because now all of us can go. We went to pick up Izzy and Seth and they jumped in the back of course Seth sitting beside me. Only problem was that Seth knew from the start that something was wrong. He put his hand on my leg.
"What's wrong?" he whispered into my ear.
"Jake and I had a fight this morning." I whispered back. Seth frowned.
"Hey can you guys stop whispering dirty things to each other..." Joey yelled at us thankfully Skye's parents didn't hear.
"Its nothing guys. I don't want to talk about it," I told them. After 4 hours we arrived at the campsite. We all jumped out of the car and stretched like a cat. We were in the middle of the forest. We all set up the tents. They were 2 three people tents and 1 double tent. We decided the girls would sleep in one the guys in the other and Skye's parents would get the double tent. We decided we would go take a look around. We walked down the hill for a bit and we found a nice beach. There wasn't much but it was perfect. We walked back to the campsite. When night came we made a campfire and made s'mores and told stories. Izzy and I got an idea. Izzy was smart enough to bring her guitar so we decided to sing some songs.
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
Seth and Caleb couldn't sing. We've heard them try before Seth sounds not bad but not great either but he doesn't like singing in public. As for Caleb he sounds like a dying seal when he sings.
