Promise Thank
you everybody for your awesome reviews. Chapter two: Hit
on.
Two years later.
The
next morning I woke up and Jacob was nowhere to be seen. I had
originally fallen asleep, and now I'm 'magically'
on his bed. Curious?
I was tangled in the sheets and couldn't for the life of me get comfortable.
With an aggravated huff, I sat up and stubbornly kicked the sheets away. I blinked around the dark room slowly. I was completely alone. Honestly, that was probably why I couldn't sleep.
"Jake?" I whimpered. No response. I got up from the bed, throwing the sheets to the floor, and watched my feet carefully. I didn't want to accidentally step on Jacob. That probably wouldn't be smart..
"Jake!?" I yelled a little more urgent. It was still just a whisper.
I stumbled around the room, feeling the wall with my hands for the light switch, that seemed to have disappeared, along with Jacob.
With a huff I started the other way towards where I suspected the door to be. Why was it so dark?
I fell twice, and the second time I stayed down, reaching around on the floor.
When I finally found the door, I let out a sigh of relief. I wasn't afraid of the dark, but I wasn't exactly comfortable. I stood up and reached for the door knob, and was about to turn it, when it turned on its own.
"Eep!" I squeaked as somebody shoved the door open. A shocked Jacob dropped the donut that was half eaten in his hand.
"Bella!" He whined and I moaned. I'd hit my head on the floor -shocking- when I fell. I rubbed it carefully, barely a caress. "Are you okay!?"
"Shh.." I whimpered. "Why are you so loud?"
"I'm barely making any noise, Bells." He said chuckling. I rolled my eyes and reached up to snatch to donut he had, taking a bite.
"I was only eating that." He said sarcastically. I ignored him and munched away. I was starving.
When I finished the small amount of donut that was left, Jacob pulled me up off of the floor and smiled brightly.
"Charlie called this morning." He announced and I froze in place.
"Ugh!" I moaned and he chuckled, shaking his head.
"It wasn't bad. He was just worried about you not coming home last night. I told him that we fell asleep early." He said and his nose scrunched. "He told me to make sure you get to school, or he's going to hurt me."
I laughed hysterically, and stood up heading towards the drawer in Jacob's dresser full with my clothes.
Jacob was probably the only guy who's house I was aloud to stay at, on a school night, without an adult present. That's because Charlie has learned to trust him over the years, and since I've never once even kissed Jacob, Charlie didn't care.
I pulled the drawer open and dug through it for a few seconds before I grabbed a pair of shorts, and a light blue shirt. I closed the drawer after grabbing underwear, and a bra, along with socks, and headed towards the bathroom to shower.
When I had finished I brushed my teeth with the toothbrush I always kept here -my second home- and brushed my hair quickly with a brush. I pulled my shorts on, and noticed the shirt I was originally going to wear was long sleeved. I walked out of the bathroom with only my shorts and bra on, shirt in hand.
"Something wrong with your shirt?" Jacob asked walking towards the drawer. I nodded and he quickly threw me another one. It was white this time, and short sleeved.
"Thanks!" I chirped and he winked at me.
"Anytime, Bells."
Some people may think it's weird with the way we act around each other. Embry and Quil, mine and Jacob's friends, find it hysterical. I'm completely comfortable wearing only underwear around Jacob, and he is like that with me. That's how it has always been, since we were babies.
On our way to school, Jacob decided to drive. We were supposed to pick Quil up first, then Embry. We drove the opposite direction of school, and stopped in front of Quil's house, making little conversation on the way.
"Hey, Jacob. Hey, Bella." Quil said and winked at me. Jacob glared at him and started pulling out of the driveway, when Quil was only half way in the door. I chuckled and Jacob was silent in the front seat.
Next, we stopped at Embry's and when he got in he opened his mouth to say something to me, but saw the expression on Jacob's face and shut up quickly. The boys were arguing and making a lot of noise in the back.
"No, no!" Quil yelled and smacked Embry. It was quite ridiculous, but entertaining.
Five minutes later, and we were at school. I stepped out after Quil and he gaped.
"Dude, Bella. Nice shorts." He said and I flushed. Jacob growled, and Quil ran the other direction. Jacob came by my side soon after, and took my hand.
"So, anything planned for today?" he asked and I shook my head. Embry ran up behind us, and I could feel his eyes shooting daggers at me. Probably my legs or something. I blushed, but shook my head to Jacob's question.
"Calculus class, but you already know that.." I said and shrugged. He nodded and we walked past a group of kids who snickered at the height difference between me and Jacob, like kids at school usually did. Jacob and I were a large part of the school's gossip, and we didn't care.
It's funny how two years ago, I was the one taller than Jacob. Then, he went through his growth spurt out of nowhere, leaving me a whole foot shorter.
The first bell rang and Jacob cursed under his breath. I smacked his arm playfully and he pretended it hurt, like I had enough power to actually harm him in any way.
"Ow, Bella! That hurt so bad." He mocked me and I scoffed.
I kissed him on the cheek once before running off with Embry towards biology. The second bell rang as we stepped into the classroom and our teacher Mrs. White glared down at us.
"Thank you for joining us, Miss Swan. You too, Mr. Call." She scowled and I flushed before running to my normal seat next to Erin Candor.
"Hey, Bella." He chirped and I said hi quickly as I sat down to listen.
Class went by quickly, nothing eventful happening. A lecture on cell's and a video on the topic as well. We were out two minutes early and I stalked off towards Jacob's class to pick him up, but when I got there, Quil was already there with a smirk clearly on his face.
"Hey, Bella. Looking good." He said, repeating himself from earlier. I blushed again and stood beside him while I waited for the bell to ring.
"You know, I'm totally available.." He said a little too cockily. I rolled my eyes, but a playful smile played on my lips.
"For a few hours, maybe. You aren't single for more than a few days Quil." I said and his smile dropped. Just then Jacob came out and I hugged him. He glared at Quil, who walked into the classroom.
"Ready for P.E.?" Jacob asked and I sighed. P.E..
"As ready as I'll ever be." I said, trying to be enthusiastic, but it came out more as a moan or a hiss. Jacob chuckled and we walked towards the gym.
By the end of P.E. I left with a bag of ice on my hand, and Jacob had one for his foot, for when he had time to sit. He limped beside me, and held onto my shoulder for little support.
"I'm so sorry.." I tried to apologize, but he shook his head.
"Don't be sorry. It could happen to anyone."
I
ran for the basketball as it fell down from the hoop. Cymantha Baker
had scored the third goal for the game, while I hid underneath the
net like a coward. The ball fell down into my hands, and my
eyes went wide. Jacob cheered loudly, while others around me groaned.
I tried to pass it to Jacob, the closest person to me, but he kept
throwing it back to me. "Run, Bella!" He yelled and I ran
the opposite direction of the other teams basket. Kids walked behind
me, positive I wouldn't get the ball in. Jacob cheered loudly,
clapping and cat calling. I blushed and ran faster. Jacob ran
in front of me, and jumped around happily. I was about to throw it to
him, when another kid ran in front of him and blocked him from me. I
sighed and looked towards the basket. Nobody around.. I could easily
get the ball in. I just had to be graceful. Be graceful, Bella! So,
I threw the ball, and it flew towards the hoop, spinning and turning
wildly. Kids around me started running instead of walking, actually
believing I could make it in. But I didn't. It hit the
back board, and ricochet off and hit me in the head. Hard. Jacob
yelled and ran towards me as fast as he could run, but tripped over
the ball that had rolled from my head to the floor in less than three
seconds. He fell backwards, and his foot caught on my leg, causing me
to squeal. He fell down to the floor and huffed loudly.
Everybody around us laughed, and I flushed before sitting up to check
on Jacob. "Are you okay!?" We yelled at the same time. I
nodded and Jacob nodded, too. "Yeah, my head just hurts."
I said, wincing when somebody close to me started laughing in
hysterics. "Well, only thing that hurts is my foot." He
admitted sheepishly. We stood up together, and went towards the
nurses office to get ice.
"I truly am sorry!" I cried and he chuckled.
We got to the cafeteria, and Quil laughed loudly when he saw us. It must have looked extremely awkward.
Five foot Bella, carrying Six something foot Jacob on her right shoulder, while her left hand held the bag of ice to her head, and Jacob held his ice under his arm. Pathetic..
"Shut up." I hissed bitterly, and Quil quieted down. Only small snickers coming from him now. When Embry came in he didn't laugh, but I saw the amusement in his eyes.
I helped Jacob limp into his chair, and then seated myself closely next to him. We both sighed as our butts touched the chairs together.
Other kids came to sit at our table, but I kept my eyes closed so I had no idea who was coming. One kid kept asking if I was sleeping, causing more laughing fits from Quil.
When lunch was over I helped Jacob to his class first before heading off to mine, which I was late for.
And that's pretty much how school went.
When it was over, my headache was almost gone, along with the ice in the bag. Jacob, however, went to the nurse after school -with my help of course- and the nurse clicked her tongue.
"Oh, honey. This ankle is sprained. You're going to have to stay off of it for a while.. I'm surprised you were able to limp around all day like this. Good thing you had Bella to help you out!" She chirped, but I ignored her. I was too busy apologizing to Jacob, who ignored my cries.
At home, Billy laughed like Quil had. He always found it funny when I tripped.
"I'm gonna go lay down." Jacob said and limped to his room on my shoulder. My shoulder was beginning to ache, but I'd live. I helped him into his bed and when the weight was off of me, I rubbed circles on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" He asked and I hushed him.
"Am I okay? Jake! You're the one with the sprained ankle, because of me!" I said wanting to cry. He chuckled again, but yawned after.
"You can go, Bella. You don't have to wait here." Jacob whispered, sleepiness dripping from his words, and I snorted.
"You expect me to leave?" I asked and rose an eyebrow. He nodded and yawned again. I shook my head stubbornly.
"Nope." I said, but he was already asleep.
"I love you, Bells.." He mumbled in his sleep. I smiled.
"Love you, too."
Okay,
this is a fluff chapter, because I needed to fill it in. The
Cullen's are coming next chapter. Swear. And they aren't going to
live in Forks, but in La Push. The whole treaty line thing doesn't
count for them. Sorry.. Bella and Jacob still aren't in love.
Want a secret? Jacob's crushing on Bella, but she's totally clueless,
like always. -Dramatically rolls eyes- The
next chapter will be better. Not fluff, but actual stuff happening.
New, strange students. How much fun?! Preview for chapter
three:
Eyes like topaz.
I smiled and nodded. My teeth chattered in my mouth, and I shuttered. To my surprise, she jumped on me as she gave me a hug. I gasped at the sudden touch of our skin. Hers was freezing, like ice. I pulled away like she had just burned me. Except worse.
Their skin is as cold as ice.
"I'm B-Bella." I said shakily, and she nodded.
"I know. I already met your friend. Quil? He talks about you a lot." She said smiling, and I blushed.
"Err.." I said, trying to think about what to say. I wonder if she could tell me about her brothers. Jacob wouldn't be happy about me talking to them, but he would be glad I got more information.
"Oh, have you met my brothers yet? I could tell you about them if you'd like?" She said as if she knew what I was going to say.
Our ancestors also said that they have special powers. Like seeing the future, and mind reading..
I shuttered and remembered what Jacob had told me earlier that day, while my heart made little flips.
Please, Bella. For me. And if not for me, for my sanity?"I-I got to go. Never mind!" I yelped as I ran from my table. I hurried out of the cafeteria, and ran to the bathroom, tripping only once.
