A/N: Keep those reviews coming guys! Here's chapter four! Sorry; stupid Charter went down and it took forever to get my internet back up to post this.
Nicole's POV.
5:00 P.M.
After driving around for hours and drowning two water bottles full of the numbing liquid; I found myself at some shitty looking diner and decided to grab some coffee to help sober up. I grabbed my bottle of cover up as I applied it to my black eye to cover up the evidence. I didn't even bother to cover up my blood shot eyes; I'll just say they were from my contacts. I got out of the car and walk in the door hearing a chime of a bell go off as I stepped in. I found a booth in the back where it was deserted as I slipped in and propped my arms on to table.
"Hello; welcome to the Sitting Wolf Café, can I take-Nicole?" I snapped my head in the voices direction and saw Andrea standing there with the same bright, cheery smile she had on when I met her this morning.
"Hey Andrea, didn't know you worked here." I said offering a small smile in return as she slipped into the booth on the other side.
"Yup; my mom owns it." She said propping her arms up on the table as she sat the pad and pen on the table as well. Now I felt bad for calling this place a piece of shit.
"So, I heard you met Karin today." Andrea said as her voice got quiet as she gave me a small smile.
"Yeah; Jacob's girlfriend who I gave a black eye to; what a bitch." I said with a deep scowl. To my shock and confusion Andrea started laughing and I mean really laughing with the snorts and all.
"Karin is not Jake's girlfriend; they used to date but, she's a psycho bitch who thinks he's madly in love with her, it's really creepy." Andrea said after her laugh attack seized. Oh shit, I just slapped and went bitch crazy on him for no reason; maybe I really do need anger management after all. Great, just another stupid ass thing I've done to screw something good in my life up.
"Oh wow; now I feel like a total bitch." I said slamming my head against the table.
"What; why, you gave her a black eye; that's awesome." She said patting my head. I brought my head back up and plopped my chin in my hands.
"Oh no, I totally don't feel sorry for giving that bitch the jab it's that I yelled at Jacob before he could explain anything; I kind of went crazy on him and then I slapped him. I was just mad as hell; I didn't know how to control myself; ughh, I'm such a fucking idiot." I said plopping my head against the table again groaning at the hard impact. I felt a hand pat my head softly as I gazed back up at Andrea.
"Sweetie; I know Jake well enough to say that he isn't mad at you, he's mad at himself." Andrea said with a smile on her face as I brought my head back up with a confused look. She laughed at my expression.
"He didn't know the crazy bitch was going to show up and you acted like any sensible women would in that situation." The bell chimed at the door as we both looked over to see a girl walk in. She was very pretty; she had long sleek black hair and tanned skin and a smile that was very camera worthy. She looked our way as she waved at Andrea who at this point was turned around in the booth seat and waving both of her hands in the air. I let out a laugh at the site, she was really childish but, I liked that about her.
The girl practically skipped over to us as she slid in next to Andrea and gave her a one armed side hug. She then looked at me with a smile on her face as she waved at me; I waved back as I lifted the corners of my mouth into a small smile.
"Oh, Kim; this is Nicole she just moved here from Colorado and she's the one who gave Karin that black eye!" Andrea said as Kim and her squealed together which actually made me cover my ears for a minute.
"Nicole; this is Kim, Jared's girlfriend." Andrea said after they both stopped squealing like banshees.
"It's nice to meet you Kim."
"You too Nicole and by the way, awesome job you did on Karin; that shiner looks great." Kim said with a wide smile that made me laugh.
"Anytime Kim, I don't know her well but, I think it was a bit past due." I said winking at the both of them as my stupid joke earned a laugh.
"Oh trust me, it is. I've wanted to do that to her so badly for so long. Actually everyone at school wanted to do that to her." Andrea said as Kim nodded in agreement.
"You should come to Emily's tomorrow for dinner." Kim said as she perked up.
"Yeah, since we don't have school Friday; Emily thought having everyone over for dinner would be nice and she wants to meet you." Andrea said grabbing my hand as she bounced in her seat.
"How does Emily already know about me?" I asked looking at both of the girls like they had two heads.
"Because Jacob can't stop talking about you." Andrea said as both Kim and her gave me huge smiles. I felt my cheeks burn up as I shook my head.
"Whatever, he's probably telling her what a bitch I am after what I did to him; I wouldn't doubt it either." I said laughing to myself as the two girls exchanged glances.
"He doesn't think you're a bitch." Andrea said quietly as she looked hurt. Why she did, I have no earthly idea.
"Oh, probably telling everyone how huge I am, right?" I asked laughing as I expected to hear them laugh along with me. You see; I've learned to beat people to their jokes and by doing this I feel less crappy because I'm saying it to myself rather than them saying it to me making me feel more crappy.
After hearing nothing but silence, I looked up at the two girls and I was shocked by their expressions.
By this time Andrea just looked like she was getting ready to cry and Kim looked hurt as the silence fell upon the whole table. I slowly inched back pressing myself into the cushioned booth wanting to run away at that point.
"Jacob would never say that about you." Kim said quietly as Andrea slowly nodded.
"So, what does he say about me?"
"He says he loves your smile, and how he can get lost in your eyes and he just wants to spend more time with you." Andrea said wiggling her eyebrows making me laugh as my blush deepened on my cheeks after hearing what Jacob said about me yes; some of them were cheesy but, what can I say I'm a big sucker for cheesy things.
"He also says he wants to bend you over and-."
"ANDREA!" Kim yelled at the purple haired girl who was giggling as my face was probably as red as a fucking tomato. Kim slapped her forehead as Andrea grinned slyly.
"Sorry about that, Andrea here can be a little dirty sometimes." Kim said as Andrea nodded in agreement making me laugh.
"Sometimes, she's dirty all the time." All three of us turned our heads at the voice to discover one of the many huge guys that inhabit La Push. He had sort of spiky hair knowing it was Paul. He smiled at all of us and shooed me over so he could sit down. After he was settled he patted my head again.
"Heard you gave Karin a new look, great job short stuff." Andrea and Kim giggled at the way he treated me and well, I couldn't help but crack a smile at it either.
"Thanks, I went soft on her though." I said smirking to myself as I held my head up a little. His large hand came in contact with my back patting it.
"Sure ya did kid." I held back a yelp when he patted me; he wasn't hitting me or anything it was just how bad the beating was last night, I still haven't recovered yet and it hurt like a mother fucker right now. I shoved the matter to the side as I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Whatever, why don't you and Andrea go have some hanky panky in the bathroom." I said grinning as Kim doubled over in laughter at my comment. I looked over at Andrea who was as red as I was a few minutes ago. I glanced back at Paul who had a slight scowl on his face.
"Nice one Nicole!" Kim said through laughs as she continued to clutch her stomach.
"Whatever Kim, it's not like you and Jared haven't done it in the bathroom either." Andrea said pointing an accusing finger at Kim who had her head down slightly and from what I could tell was a blush on her face as Andrea smiled in victory.
"Yeah…well..that's….ugh!" Kim cried out throwing her hands up in the air as she puckered her lips in a pout and crossed her arms huffing. The scene was pretty amusing I'd have to say. I turned to Paul who had the same amused look on his face.
"Do they do this all the time?" I asked gesturing to the two who were now making ridiculous faces at each other.
He let out a deep rumbling laugh as he nodded. "Everyday this happens, they act like kids one minute; fighting and fussing at each other and then their best friends again in an instant. I let out a laugh at the very thought of them doing this every day.
"Trust me short stuff; come over to Emily's one day and you'll see the whole thing." Paul said patting my head once again as I scowled up at him. He grinned at me and playfully punched my arm.
"Actually I'm going to Emily's tomorrow; apparently Jacob can't stop talking about me for some unknown reason and now she wants to meet me. We don't have school Friday so what the hell." I said grinning back up at the giant.
"Well good, you can meet the rest of us 'giants' there, be prepared little one."
I scoffed at him waving him off. "Sure, you guys may look strong but, that doesn't mean anything." I said cockily as all three of them exchanged grins, it felt like I missed something; must be some inside joke or something.
"Trust me girl; they're wicked strong." Andrea said winking at Paul.
"Not strong enough to pick me up." I muttered as I instantly regretted saying those words. I say all eyes were on me as I bit the inside of my cheek to shut my fucking mouth. This was the part where I say goodbye and get the hell out; I've made an ass of myself for one day. I cleared my throat as I waved Paul over so he could get up so I could get out.
I stood in front of the table and looked everyone. Andrea was near a down pour of tears and Kim looked like her puppy just died and Paul, well he just looked pissed.
"Well, I'm sorry guys, I have to go; I've got errands to run." I said as everyone gave me a brief smile and wave as I made my way towards the door pushing it roughly hearing the chiming of the bell go off as I made my way into another down pour of freaking rain. I hurried and got into my car and quickly turned it on and flipped on the headlights and sped out of there going towards a grocery store for some more supplies for tonight's beating I'm sure I'll get.
Andrea's POV.
"Are you okay Andrea?" Kim asked me as she placed a hand on my shoulder as I shook my head. Paul was freaking out by now because I was getting ready to cry.
"Why would she think of herself like that?" I asked getting ready to burst into tears. I know I'm overreacting but, Nicole's going to be a future sister of the pack and I already care for her and hearing her talk about herself like that jus made me emotional. I never thought someone would ever say something like that about themselves, it just broke my heart.
I felt Kim scoot away and the heat of Paul's body as he slipped into the booth and wrapped his arms around me pulling me towards him. I instantly wrapped my arms around him and placing my head on his chest as he started to rub my back.
"I don't know why she would sweetie but, I'll tell Jake about it and he'll find out okay?" He used his sweet voice with me which always made me smile. I nodded as he kissed my forehead smiling back.
"So you invited her over for dinner tomorrow night?"
"Of course, I want her to meet the rest of the gang and she can see Jacob again, she just feels awful about what she did to him." I said resting my head in the crook of his neck.
"She was the one that slapped him?" Paul asked surprised. I cranked my neck up at him and nodded.
"That's what sent him over the edge; Nicole slapping him, he knew she was his imprint." He said in a trance like state.
"What, I only thought only after you phase you'd find your imprint?"
"That's usually the case but, Sam explained to us that Alphas have these special gifts that we don't, and having the power to know who your imprint is before you phase in one of those gifts." Paul said as I had my mouth opened a bit; shocked really. Jacob; my little Jacob an alpha!
"So wait, Jacob's alpha now?" I asked sitting straight up now. Paul shook his head.
"No, Sam's still alpha; he said when the time came, he'd give Jacob the choice to stay in the pack and let him continue to be alpha or he can take over." Paul said slipping is hand around my waist and pulling me closer to him.
"Holy crap." Kim said as we I nodded still trying to gather the information that was just told to me. Even with this new about Jacob being an Alpha; I was still worded about Nicole. I just hope that Jacob can get through to her; hell if he can't, I'll sure as hell try!
