Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters.
My first half of the day was pretty good, besides the fact that Jake kept staring at my side with a worried look on his face. Finally it was lunch time I wasn't really hungry. I was more tired. Jake dragged me through the lunch line.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Nothing really I'm good" He sighed
"Why do you always do things that make me worry?"
"I do not, like what?"
"Like this morning." I sighed. He was going to bring that up again. I grabbed a bottled water and paid for my drink. "Come on" He said. I looked at his tray dang he had a lot of food. I heard him chuckle. We sat down at a table with Embry, Quil, Leah, Seth, Oliver, Jared, Kim, and Paul.
"Hey how was your first day?" Oliver asked.
"Good I guess how about you"
"Good" I nodded.
"Speaking of first days, sorry I didn't get to see you yesterday." Jake said
"Oh it's okay." I looked around the table. I opened my water and stared drinking light sips from the bottle.
"So what's your story, why are you back." I shuddered, thinking about the knife against my skin, and the slaps and the punches. Olivier looked at me with sympathy and answered for me
"We wanted to come home to La Push again."
"Oh "He said with a half smile.
'It's ok Oliver you don't have to lie." My voice was scratchy and almost a whisper. Oliver looked over to me and nodded. "The real reason we're back is because our parents died, more like were killed. So we got sent to Aunt Amanda's place to stay." I told them why we were back but I won't tell them about the scratches and bruises the only person who knew about that was Oliver. I stared at the table.
I heard a lot of gasps and looked up.
"I'm sorry I-I didn't know" Jake said with a small stutter.
"Its okay you don't have to be" I didn't need the sympathy. I looked up at him with a half smile. I would be strong. I wouldn't let this get in the way.
He had a pained look on his face. I felt a arm on my shoulder it wasn't Jake or anyone they had warm hands. I turned around and saw a boy like chocolate brown eyes and blonde hair.
"Hey you're new here, right?" Was he flirting with the new girl? I heard a growl come from Jacob. It sounded like a animal growl not a human one. I don't even think humans can growl.
"Yeah" He smiled.
"Want to go hang out sometime." I looked at Embry, Jake, Oliver, and Quil. Embry had an angry look on his face and was glaring at the dude, Jake looked like he was almost shaking with anger, Oliver had the same expression as Embry ,and Quil was looking at me with worried eyes. Man was I tired of being looked at with worried eyes.
"I don't think she want to now go Allen" I looked to see you said that and was surprised at what I saw. It was Leah. I sure didn't see that coming. She smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Well just in case" He said put a piece of paper in my hand he bent down and whispered in my ear. "Here's my number." Then he walked off. Jacob glared back at him.
The bell rang. I got up and threw away my water bottle.
"Hey, meet me at first beach after school okay." I looked up to see Jake smiling at me.
"Okay" Then he ran off.
School got boring after that. There was no one to pass me notes or anything to make me laugh and almost get us in trouble. It didn't matter anyways it was my 7th period. School was almost over. I walked into my last class and got the slip sighed. "Oh hello, you're our new student Heather Blake." I nodded "Well I'm Mrs. Wakefield you can introduce yourself." Well this was my first introduction today. I wasn't scared I was outgoing most of the time so it will be a piece of cake.
"Hey I'm Heather Blake." They all looked at me and then someone spoke
"Do you have green eyes?"
"Yeah" Not many people from La Push have green eyes I guess I'm rare. I chuckled to myself for thinking that.
"That's wicked" I laughed and everyone else did too.
"Well tell us about your self" Mrs. Wakefield said.
"Well I have a little bro who goes here now, a border collie named Jeremy, and I'm living with my Aunt Amanda."
"Well that's interesting where did you come from?"
"California but I was born here."
"Oh then you'll fit in perfectly." She pointed for me to sit by a girl. She seemed to have the same style as me and was outgoing like me.
"Hey my name is Shyler, Shyler Adderson." She was really pretty. She had dark brown semi-curly hair that was let loose. Her side bangs we're just right they were directed right to left. The thing that really threw me off was her eye color it was a vibrant blue. Her style was just like mine 2 skinny jeans, thin material shirts, converse, and jackets. She smiled at me.
"Oh well you already know me and what was that about my eyes?" She laughed
"Well there's this in school that makes fun of us for having different color eyes than brown." I looked amazed by why someone would do that.
"That's stupid are we the only ones?
"No my boyfriend has blue eyes too." Wow "Yeah Draven Lane, blue eyes, black shaggy hair, yeah he's mine." We laughed. "We should hang out this weekend it we be "Hey my name is Shyler, Shyler Adderson." She was really pretty. She had dark brown semi-curly hair that was let loose. Her side bangs we're just right they were directed right to left. The thing that really threw me off was her eye color it was a vibrant blue. Her style was just like mine 2 skinny jeans, thin material shirts, converse, and jackets. She smiled at me.
"Oh well you already know me and what was that about my eyes?" She laughed

weekend it will be fun."
" Sure" We wrote down our numbers
than exchanged.
When school was done I turned in my slip and walked to my truck. Oliver and MG were already there. I unlocked the car and we all climbed in.
"I heard you were hanging out with the hotties." Mg said to me. I laughed.
"Is that what you call them?" I backed up and saw Shyler in her silver sports car waving at me I waved back and started driving home.
"You're hanging out with her too." What did she just say? :(
"What's wrong with Shyler?" She looked at me like I was crazy.
"Her and her boyfriend are weird." Was she one of them who made un of people with different color eyes
"Are you one of them, one of those girls who make fun of people with different color eyes, is that why you don't like her?" She looked away.
"No it's just – I wasn't making fun of your eye color." I was mad now I turned up the radio so she couldn't finish.
Then started singing as 'I'm not okay by My Chemical Romance' came on it was my favorite.
I'm not okay, I'm not okayyy, I'm not okay, you wear me out!!
She started getting annoyed
"Say you're sorry and you're not going to be mean so Shy anymore." She laughed
"You call her shy." I started singing louder and Oliver joined in.
For all the dirty looks. The photographs your boyfriend took. Remember when you broke
Your foot, from jumping off the second floor?
"Fine ill tell her sorry tomorrow and I won't be mean." I then stopped and laughed. We just got home.
I jumped out and ran straight to the shower. I got in the hot shower as the blood rushed down my sides. 'Gross' I scrubbed the blood of then dried my hair and put it in a bun. I changed to wind pants and a tank top then put on a jacket. Then grab my locket and put that on with. Then ran downs stairs.
"Where are you going?" Mg said. "Are you going to go see Jake?" I nodded and ran off. I heard her giggle. I walked to the beach and saw Jake sitting on a rock looking into the ocean.
"Hey, Jake" He looked over and jumped off the rock to stand in front of me.
"Hey." He smiled and then dragged me to the rock he was sitting on. He sat on top and sat me beside him.
"Jake why did you tell me to come here?" He frowned then sighed.
"Because I knew something was up now I want to know what." No no no no no no there was no way I was going to tell him. He sternly looked at me, but I didn't want to lie to him. So I stayed quiet. So he spoke. "Please tell me." He whispered in my ear. I looked into his dark brown eyes and didn't look away till I notice that I was staring. "Please" He whispered again. I hated keeping things from them, but Jake was the only one to notice. Tears started running dawn my face and I instantly whipped them away. "Don't cry." He wrapped his arm around him so that I was close in his side. His warmth felt nice.
"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone and it's only between you and me." He nodded "Well about 4 months ago I started dating this guy named …..Nate." I took me a while to get his name out. "He was so nice till he started coming home drunk. A few weeks ago not even I found my parents dead in the living room and Nate going after Oliver I got in front of him before he could hurt Oliver. He punched me and kicked me and put a knife to me. Oliver got the gun and aimed that's when he ran out. The police came and looked or days and didn't find him.Thats when Aunt Amanda offered that we live with her."
Tears we're running down my eyes. He was shaking "How. Could. Someone. Do That." He seemed very angry. I looked into his eyes. I started caressing his hand to make him calm down. The shaking subsided as he whipped away the last of my tears. The then pulled me into a strong warm hug. "I promise I won't let any one hurt you." I weak smile was on his face.
"Come on lets go Billy's dieing to see you." We walked to Jake's house not much of a change though since I was small. We walked in and I saw Billy in a wheel chair I looked at Jake with a look that said 'You never told me he was in a wheel chair.' He just smiled. "Dad look whose back." Billy smiled at me and I walked over to him to give him a hug.
"Hey Billy"
"Wow Heather it's been a long time you've grown up to become a beautiful young woman." I blushed
"Thanks."
"Well we're going to be in the garage if you need us." He dragged me off to the garage he did a lot of that.
"Bye Billy." He just smiled and waved.
"So what are you going to show me?"
"1 thing" He pointed to a car "This is my rabbit I made it from scratch." My mouth was a gape. Jake and I always would talk about cars when we were even 10 but wow. He laughed. I touched the car and smiled. Then I looked around and saw a Harley and smiled.
"Hey Jake can I ride your Harley?" He smiled
"You wish,"
"Yeah, yeah I do please." He sighed then smiled go on the bike and patted the back for me to sit.
"You ready?" I nodded. Then wind pushes against my face and it felt so good. I hand my arms wrapped around Jacobs back. After a while we stopped he got of then helped me off. "Was that fun?" He said while showing his smile.
"Oh yeah." I noticed we had stopped by a clearing. I walked than sat down in the grass and flowers they smelled so nice. Jacob chuckled. I patted the earth next to me to tell him to join me. He laid next to me it felt cold so I snuggled into him. He didn't seem to mind he just put his arm around me. That's when I notice how good he smelt, like a woodsy smell. I chuckled. He looked at me.
"What?" He said his smile was so great. I giggled again.
"You smell nice." He chuckled
"You smell nice to like, a tropical smell." He pressed his nose to my hair. I blushed having him so close to me. My heart beat accelerated. We stayed there for a long time till I heard a voice calling Jake "Jake?"
