I ended up inviting Jacob over afterschool. We strolled into the living room, and I was surprised to find it Emmett free.
"Huh, that's strange…" I whispered.
Jake turned and looked at me. "What?"
I laughed a little. "Oh, nothing, I just need to make a phone call." I said as I pulled my phone out. I pressed speed dial number one and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Please don't tell me you locked yourself out again?" I asked. "Oh wait no you-"
"I'm at the local college in Seattle." He said cheerfully.
"What?" I sputtered in disbelief.
"I'm signing up for classes."
I smiled. "That's awesome Emmett!" I exclaimed. "Does Charlie know?" I asked.
"No, it's a surprise."
My eyebrow's furrowed together. "Wait, who's the girl?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He asked, obviously lying.
"There's no way you would've-"
"It's Rosalie." He admitted.
My jaw must have dropped to the ground.
"Rosalie?" I asked. "You mean, my best friend Rosalie?" I said hysterically. "But she's like two years younger than you."
"Well we've been talking on the phone…"
"Okay, well nice speaking to you. Can't talk, bye." Then I hung up my phone, and threw it into my back pack.
"You okay?" Jacob asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine-" I paused. "Wait, you no what? I'm not fine." I said, on the verge of tears.
Jacob grabbed my hand and walked me over to the couch.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.
"Not really." I admitted as I shook my head.
"Is it about that guy, Edward?" He asked again.
"Partially." I said quietly. More like 98 percent.
"You lie really bad." Jacob laughed. His face turned serious for a moment. "Listen, if we're gonna be friends, and I really hope we will…" I nodded, smiling. "Then, there's something I need to tell you."
I knitted my eyebrows together.
"What is it?" I asked scared.
"I'm gay."
Wow. He's gay. And I was worried he was going to say he had a girlfriend or say that he didn't like me.
I smiled, and nudged him with my elbow. "So do you like anyone?" I put the emphasis on the 'like'.
He opened his mouth to say something, and then froze, and then opened his mouth again. "You mean, you're okay with this?"
Now I was confused. "Yeah of course. Why?" I asked. His face saddened a bit, and I realized that not everything is okay for him. "Nevermind." I said quickly. "I don't want to know."
He smiled. "Alright, then. Just like how I don't want to know about you and Edward."
"Lack of. But yeah, exactly." I grinned back. "So for now on, we'll only talk about what happens, not what happened?"
"You know Bella. I think this is the start of a great friendship."
I laughed. "Ditto." We shook hands.
The next couple of weeks, I stuck by Jake. We got along great. Him and Rosalie butt heads a lot, but Alice… Well let's just say love is an understatement.
I think she is just secretly happy she has her first gay best friend.
But, I can't stand hanging around both of them at the same time. It's like they know each other inside out. If it was possible, I would say that they are even more best friends than me and Jake.
We were sitting at the lunch table, and Jacob and Alice were talking, when I heard Edward mutter something that snapped something inside of me. Jessica started laughing at the hideous word.
"What did you just call him?" I could've screamed, I was so mad.
Edward froze.
"You have no right to call him that." I said quietly. "No right!"
"Bella stop making a scene." Jacob said softly.
I turned to him. "No! I can't let someone say something like that about my best friend." I said pleadingly. Then I turned back to Edward. "You're a bastard." I gritted through my teeth. "I hope you go to hell."
He smiled a bit. "Already am."
Jessica stood up. "Don't talk to him like that!" She yelled. The whole cafeteria turned and stared at us.
"Then tell him not to talk crap about my friends!" I turned around, about to walk out of the doors when she spoke again.
"God Bella who cares! All he did was call him a fagot!" Then I steered back to her.
"Bitch." I said under my breath before my fist connected with her nose.
"I can't believe you broke her nose." Emmett gloated. I tried to fight back a smile.
I was now strolling out of the principle's office with suspension paper's in my hand, and Jessica's blood on my blouse.
He chuckled. "My little sister is a I fighter." He grinned. "So what happened after you punched her?"
"She hit me."
"Then?" He said as if this was the most interesting thing he heard all day. But he had class today, so knowing him it probably was.
"I pushed her into someone's table." I admitted, trying not to break into giggles. "And it broke when she fell on it." I said, holding my stomach while I laughed.
"You know Dad is going to kill you?"
"No, Emmett. I thought he was going to throw me a freaking party."
He stopped walking. He looked at me. "Seriously?"
I looked at him incredulously, still walking. "No!" I stalked off towards the parking lot. I stumbled into my truck, while Emmett followed me home in his jeep. We got to the house, and I climbed up the stairs to my room, thinking of what to say when Charlie comes home.
Dad, my fist just happened to hit her in the nose.
No, too fake.
Daddy. She got me really mad, and I wasn't thinking at the time.
Someone knocked on my door. I sat up, and said, "Come in."
Emmett stomped inside and sat beside me on my bed. "Are you still mad at me about Rose?" He asked.
Rose? He's already calling her Rose? I mean, is she calling him Em? I didn't even look at him.
"Yes."
"Well... Bella you have to get over it." He said angrily. I shot him a glare. "Because I'm having her over for dinner tonight.. So try not to tell Dad about your suspension until after she leaves?" I stared wide eyed at him.
"You're kidding me?" He shook his head. I hit him with my textbook laying by me.
"Ow!" He fake cried.
"That's what you get." I muttered. He left me alone until about two hours later. It was 2:30, and I heard him call my name. I rushed down the stairs, to find Jacob standing there. He looked a mixture of pissed and sad.
I hurried over there. "Jake? What's wrong?" I asked. Emmett back away, and I took Jacob up to my room.
"Everyone found out." He said icily.
I froze. "How?" I yelped.
"Cullen." I shot up, he pulled me back down my the elbow.
"Bella, the reason I moved here was so I could start over, and so no one would find out. But now that's ruined."
"No, Edward's going to pay." I grabbed my shoes sitting on the floor and grabbed Jacob's arm and ran out of the house.
A/N: Special thanks to BerryEbilBunny for the idea of making Jacob gay. The direction I was going was really bad until this little reviewer came along and suggested it :)
Thank you to all who've reviewed!
