Authors note: The last chapter was short but I really felt like it had to end where it did…not sure how much longer this chapter will be but it'll definitely be longer then the last one.
(Jacob's POV)
I woke up around 7am, it was Saturday morning but I wasn't much of a late sleeper, I didn't really have any plans for today so I decided to just take a nice, hot shower to kill some time.
I was in mid shampoo when I was interrupted by my father. "Jake, you have any plans today?" He asked….oh god, sounded like I'd have to do something, and by the tone of his voice I could tell, it wasn't going to be enjoyable.
"Um…no." I answered hesitantly, anticipating what was to come next.
"Oh…well that's good…cause-" oh god here it came…. "Charlie and I were going on a fishing trip today...and he was wondering if…you could maybe make sure Bella doesn't do anything stupid." As I was listening to this I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and ended up pouring the shampoo directly into my eye. That shit hurt like hell. "AHHHH GOD!!!!!" I yelled, as I furiously splashed cool water into my face.
"Oh come on Jake, watching Bella isn't that bad…" He sighed.
"That's not what I was yelling about…I got shampoo in my eye." I muttered, feeling like an idiot. I could hear him snickering in the background.
"Pansy." He remarked as he rolled away.
When I got out of the shower I realized I left my cloths in the other room. I picked up a towel, rapped it around my waist, and shut the door. When I got to my room, I heard a struggle coming from outside.
I looked out the window to see what was going on. What I saw was insane…. "Bella get the hell out of the car!!" Charlie yelled, as he tried to pull her up our dirt driveway. Billy didn't tell me she was coming here.
He looked like he was having a hard time so I decided to go out and help him…..it probably would have been a smart idea to get dressed first….uh whatever, I a towel.
"Need help?" I asked, approaching Charlie. He turned to look at me, his face looked a little strange…yeah…I guess coming out in a towel is a little weird.
"Oh you know what Jake, I'm sure you had plans, I don't need to go fishing, ill stay home with her, you go have fun." He said as he turned to get back into the car. I didn't have anything to do…and he had to spend every freaking day with her, the least I could do was give him a little break…besides, maybe I could really help her. Everyone deserves a second chance right? Just had to get her out of the car….
As Charlie went inside I went over to the other side of his police cruiser where miss crazy was sitting.
"You coming out today?" I asked, tapping on the window. No response, of course.
"Come on, am I really that horrible?" I asked as I tried to open the car door, of course she locked it.
I decided to just sit down on the near by rock and wait, she'd have to come out eventually…..

(Bella's POV)
Oh my god, why the hell did he have to be so annoying? Couldn't he tell I wanted to be alone, I didn't need friends…didn't want friends. Friends just leave you, friends don't care….I don't need anyone, I can live happily all by myself…well maybe not happily but I still don't need people like him.
"If you're not going to come out could you at least tell me why you don't want to talk?" He asked.
I slowly rolled down the window and said, "I can' talk to you because talking leads to friendship and I don't want any friends." I answered.
"Why wouldn't you want any friends?" He asked, looking at me like I was crazy.
"I don't want any friends because friends just go away, you tell them everything and they just drop you, it's over and then you never see them again. I can't deal with people leaving me anymore." I said so softly it was almost a whisper, I was about to cry, I could feel it. I turned around as the tears started to stream down my face……
The next thing I knew I was out of the car, and Jake had me on his lap, he was telling me everything was going to be ok. This felt so nice, he was so warm. I wanted to stay hear forever…well until I realized I was sitting on top of a guy in a towel.
I got up awkwardly blushing, and walked away. Off onto the dusty stone path that lead up to his house.
Authors note: Ok…so that wasn't much longer then the last chapter but at least were making progress…what do you guys think?
