Chapter 2: Unanswered Questions
As Bella was getting off the plane she couldn't help but be nervous, Charlie was working and wouldn't be able to come get her from the airport so he was sending someone in his place. She had told him that she could have just gotten a rental but he refused to hear it.
Bella had just gotten her bags off the carasoul when she heard someone behind her say,
"Well hell Seth I don't think she's coming, might have chickened out at the last second and decided not come."
As she stood there she could not believe who was here in the very same airport, just a few feet away. Surely, Charlie wouldn't have sent them to come her there was no way. She decided to just stand there for a few more minutes and see if they were really here to pick her up or were waiting for someone else.
"Please, be here for someone else," She thought to herself.
Bella didn't have to wait to long to find out her answer.
"She'll be here dude, Charlie said she was getting off this flight. Maybe she's in the bathroom or something, lets just wait a couple more minutes until we know for sure."
"Seth I dont have all god damn day, I have things to do and you know it."
Bella couldnt believe they were here and honestly couldnt believe that they hadn't figured out she was standing less then 5 feet away. Surely they could have smelled her right? She still used the same shampoo and everything.
Yes, she realized she had changed as far as apperances could go. She now had long red hair that was down to her waist, had sun-tanned skin she was no longer pale, and was no longer a jean and t-shirt kind of girl. She was now skinny but, not skin and bone.
"Come on, Bella you are no longer this shy girl. Get yourself together and man up and turn around, you knew you had to see them eventually. Don't be a chicken you're not that person anymore." She whispered to herself.
With those words running through her mind she stood up straighter, straightened out her hair that she had decided to put in a high pony-tail, and looked down at her clothes to make sure she didnt look like she hadn't just rolled out of bed.
She was dressed in to nines in pair of skin-tight straight blue jeans, a figure hugging red shirt under a deniem jacket, and paired with a scarf and 2-inch black knee-high boots. After she assesed her appearence she was finally ready to face her past.
Bella turned around and looked up. Both boys... No both men were looking around to try and see if they could spot her. She stood there just staring at them, they still looked the same but something was definitely different. They both still had the same hair, both still muscular, maybe a little taller, but something was very different she just couldnt put her finger on it. She had no more time to think on it though because both men had caught her staring.
She could have laughed at their expressions, Seth had his mouth open so much she was sure he could catch a fly and Paul (yes, the one person besides Leah who hated her more than anything was the one Charlie sent with Seth) was looking at her with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
"Close your mouths boys, your gunna attract attention and flys," She said with a smirk on her face and started walking towards the door.
Bella looked behind her once she almost got to the door and noticed that Seth and Paul were still standing in the same spot and hadn't moved an inch.
"Are you guys coming I don't have all day and we still have a two hour drive from here to Forks and Paul don't you have something you need to go do? Lets get a move on and you can ask me all your questions while we drive."
They had been on the road for an hour and Seth and Paul had yet to say a word and Bella was getting antsy, she didn't like how quite it was so she said the first thing that came to her mind.
"So, how have you both been?"
Of course, Paul who was driving was back to his normal self around her and being a grouch and only glaring at her but, Seth was the same sweet boy...Man... he had always been.
"I've been good I just gradutated from College and got my degree in automotives and am now employed at the shop in La Push. I'm also living in an apartment just a block away with Leah living in the house and Mom living with Charlie I thought it was time to get my own place" Seth said from the back seat.
"Charlie had mentioned that you did the online college thing he just hadn't mentioned that you graduated and you weren't living with Leah anymore, Thats great that you got your own place though everyone needs there own bit of privacy now and again. So, about this shop you work in, is it new? I don't remember there every being one in La Push."
"Oh yea it's new, J..."
"Seth shut the fuck up, you know you're not supposed to mention that at all. Alphas Orders."
Seth immediately shut his mouth and looked at Bella mouthing the word, "sorry"
Bella couldn't understand why talking about Seths place of employment would go against Sam's orders so being the more mature and outspoken person she is now she decided to ask Paul.
"Why can't Seth tell me Paul? Why is it against Sam's orders? For god sake we were just talking and it's not like you were saying anything. Seth and I were just talking. Stop being an Ignorant asshole."
She noticed Paul's grip on the steer wheel tighten, his arms were slightly shaking, and his nostrils were flaring. Bella knew those signs and they meant he was trying to keep his wolf at bay but, that didn't stop her and she blurted out just what she was thinking not caring if it pissed him off or not and all Seth could do was sit in the back with his mouth shut.
"Come on Paul, tell me. What the hell is so god damn bad about us talking about this shop, you never were the one who could keep your damn mouth shut when it came to spewing insullts at me so why stop now, tell me god dammit!"
"For Fuck sakes your voice is as fucking annoying as ever, it's Jakes shop and if you knew what was good for you, you will stay the hell away from there, he doesn't want to see you, talk to you, he wants nothing to do with so i'm warning you stay the fuck away from it, and for your fucking information Sam's no longer Alpha."
Bella didn't know what to say, Charlie never said anything about Jake opening up his own shop. She knew it would happen one day because thats all Jacob had every wanted to do was own his shop and he was a helluva good mechanic so she knew he would make it happen but, what she couldn't believe was that Sam wasn't Alpha anymore and that could mean only one other person was Alpha and that was Jake which didnt make sense because why did he step up now when he didnt even want it in the first place and he had also just opened his own business.
She had so many unanswered question but, she knew she couldnt ask Paul or Seth because of Jakes stupid Alpha order so she'd just have to bid her time and find them out on her own.
When they pulled up to Charlies house she couldn't help the small tear that came to her eyes. The house still looked the same with just a few small changes, there was a new coat of paint on the outside, flower boxes under both of the windows in the front of the house, someone(which she doubted was Charlie) was keeping up with the yard work, and instead of the cement sidewalk leading up to the door there was now a stone pathway leading from the street up to the front steps.
Bella hadn't noticed that they had gotten out of the car and her luggage was already inside until Paul was in front of her.
"Remember what I said Bella, stay away from Jake." with that he walked away and got back into the car and yelling at Seth that they had leave.
Seth stopped before he walked passed her.
"It's good to have you home Bella, and I'll see you tonight for dinner and we'll catch up."
"Ok, and Seth thank you for coming to get me from the airport, tell Paul for me too."
"Will do Bella, See you tonight."
She watched as they pulled out and was half way down the street before she turned to go back inside. As she was walking back up to the front door she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched so she turned around but didnt see anyone so she shrugged it off and went to get ready for dinner.
AN: Ok so theres Chapter 2, I feel like this is a good one, so many unanswered questions going through Bella head. Why is Jake Alpha now, when he just opened a business? Why hadn't Charlie said anything about said business?
Next Chapter will be up tomorrow one of her questions will be answered but we'll have to wait another chapter to see Jake... hope you guys don't mind :)
