It was the next day, I stood next to my car, my 1969 Dark Grey Chevelle 1969, just letting everything soak in. My older sister was coming home. I see my dad's cop car pull up. And there she was.
" Hey sis," I said as she was carrying a cactus, she smiled at me, then let her face fall back into a frown.
" Been a long time hasn't it?" Bella said as I nodded, she looked me up and down.
" You filled out." She said as I blushed a bit, but chuckled at her.
" I guess I did," I replied as Dad, Bella and I went inside. I lead Bella up the stairs, my room was across from hers.
" We helped make your room more mature as I like to call it," Dad said as Bella nodded to him, she placed her cactus on the desk. I heard a honk and I looked outside to see Billy and Jacob, so I head downstairs and go outside.
" Hey, Jacob," I said as he lifted me into his arms.
" You gonna be ok after last night?" Jacob whispered in my ear, I murmured and he set me down, I stared into his eyes as he smiled.
" Bella, you remember Billy Black." I heard Dad's voice behind me, I turned to see Dad with Bella by his side.
" Glad you're finally here," Billy said as Bella nodded to him.
" Hey Bella, I'm Jacob. We made mud pies together when we were little kids." Jacob said as Bella nodded to him, I felt the tiny pull towards Jacob increase a tiny bit.
"Yeah... I think I remember..." Bella stammered a little. I see Dad and Billy play fighting, just smiling.
" Are they always like this?" My sister asked as I turned to her, nodding my head.
" Every single time they see each other," I said as Jacob smiled at me out of the corner of my eyes.
" So...are you two?" Bella asked as I looked at Jacob.
" Oh...No, we aren't together," I said as Jacob chuckled.
" Just best friends." Jacob replied to her, I felt his hand skim past mine, I looked at him and just smiled. I heard a tap on the truck next to us. Dad is smiling at this.
" So what do you think of your homecoming gift?" Dad asked Bella, the expression I could see upon her face was fake, but she made it seem real.
"No way. The truck is for me?" She asked as she started to smile.
" Just bought it off Billy, here." Dad told her as I nodded.
" I rebuilt the engine and -" Jacob tells her, but she smiles.
" It's perfect!" She tells him, I smiled for her. I saw her actually smile. I get in Bella's new truck as Jacob follows me.
" Okay, so you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift, but -" Jacob instructs her as I saw the keys in his hand. I hand them over to Bella.
" Maybe I can give you a ride to school." Bella said to us.
" I already have a car Bells." I said with a grin.
" I go to school on the reservation," Jacob said as I smiled.
" Which sucks more or less since I can't see him all the time." I said as Jacob chuckled.
" Too bad. It would've been nice to know at least one person. Being as I only know you and my sister." Bella said as I smiled. I get out of the car.
" Hey Jake, think you could come inside with me?" I asked as he nods. I lead him inside and head up the stairs. With him right behind me. I opened the door to my room and walked over to the bed.
" You doing ok?" Jacob asked as I sighed, he sat right next to me.
" I haven't been sleeping all too well." I said as he looked at me slightly concerned.
" It is..you know? The dream?" Jacob asked as I huffed a little bit.
" Yeah, I can't describe how it makes me feel when I wake." I told him. he looked a little more concerned but nodded.
" You think you could stay here? At least till I fall asleep, I got school tomorrow." I asked of him, he nodded. I got under the covers and laid my head upon the pillow.
" Thanks, Jake, I don't know what I would do without you." I said as I felt sleep take over.
The forest once again surrounded me, the light of the moon shown upon me. I see in the clearing the shroud of trees, but I see the tuffs of russet fur and the eyes. Those eyes, so human yet animal. It's heavy breathing loud and clear, yet rugged at the same time. I felt safe, but a growl behind me made me turn.
I awoke placing my hand over my chest. Trying to calm my heartbeat. I turned to see it was early morning, so I got dressed and went downstairs.
" Sleep well?" Bella asked as I turned the corner into the kitchen.
" More or less." I replied to her. She looked confused, but I gave her a look to tell her, let sleeping dogs lie.
" I'm going to school, see you there." I said as I grabbed my keys. I went outside as I pulled my jacket on. Getting into the car was slow as my back slightly acted up.
" It'll be ok." I told myself. I then proceeded to drive to school, as I got there I parked. I got out of the car and went inside.
" Hey Jace." Eric's voice drew me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and smiled.
" Hey." I replied as I got to my locker.
" So your sister is here." He said as I smiled.
" Yeah, its gonna take some time to adjust, but it'll be ok," I said as I grabbed my study book and shut the locker. I felt eyes on me, I looked to see one of the Cullens looking at me. I believed it was Jasper.
" Jace?" Eric's voice drew me out, I focused back.
" Sorry, got distracted," I replied to Eric.
" I still see that." Eric said as I chuckled. I went to my English class, the class was all nothing, but I got the assignment done. School the rest of the day was bland. After school ended, I went to my car, my phone rang, I answered it.
" Hey." I said as I smiled as I heard Jacob's chuckle on the other side.
" Any homework?" he asked as I started up my car.
" None. I'll be over after I check in with Charlie." I said as I smiled.
" Alright see you then." Jacob told me, I hung up. Then started to head home. I see the house and head inside.
" Hey Dad?" I asked as I see him looking over some files.
" I'm heading over for the barbeque," I told him, he smiled and nodded. I went upstairs and got changed. Then I left for the barbeque.
