Chapter 2: A Chain of Events

I got up the next day, in hopes that it would be more interesting than from yesterday, more eventful, I guess. I changed into a green tank top, with floral lace and a see through black sweater, and black skinny jeans, and black ballet flats. I left my hair down, and went downstairs, for some breakfast. I opened the refrigerator for some milk when I noticed there was a note on it.

Dear Bella,

It's Phil's and mine's anniversay, he's taking me out for dinner, we'll be home late. Take care.

I threw the note away and got the gallon of milk out of the fridge, they do this every year, say they'll be home late and sneak inside at the wee hours of the morning. I rolled my eyes at the noise they were making last year, we never did replace that lamp.

I ate, reliving the past memories, until it was time to go, I was meeting Jake and his friends at First Beach in La Push, a get together of sorts, he said some kids from Forks were coming too. I packed some extra clothes for swimming, and drove to La Push, I turned on the radio, and a famaliar song started to play.

Link it to the World
Link it to Yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the newborn
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Souless is everywhere

Hopeless time to roam
The distance from your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
Your swelling up, you're unstoppable

'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Souless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born

When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

Ah, that was nice. I pulled over, everyone was already there, "Am I the last one to arrive?" I asked aloud. "Yes," they said in chrous. I got out of my car, and grabbed my bag, I changed into one of those handy changing tents they had, I got out and walked over to Jake, he was with a group of guys, "Hey, Bells, wait aren't you cold?" he asked. I shook my head, "No, not really," I told him.

"Okay Bells, I want you to meet, Quil, Seth, and Embry, and Jared," Jake said, "Guys, meet Bella." A lot of Hi's and Hey's were exchanged and then we walked around the beach, I saw one of Jake's friends, Quil I think jump off a cliff.

"Jkae, he jumped off a cliff!" I said. "Calm down Bells, it's called cliff dinving, it's fun, no one get's hurt," he reassured me. "Oh, can I try?" I asked. "Heck no!" he said. I pouted and stubbornly and very childishly crossed my arms and huffed. "That's cute Bells, but seriously you could get hurt," he said. I uncrossed my arms, and stared at him, and then a mischevious grin crawled up my face, "Bella..." Jacob warned.

I dashed and ran away from him to the edge of the cliff, he was on my tail and right when I was about to jump, his arms encircled my waist, and pulled me back, making us fall back onto the sand. "Aw, Jake one jump what do you have to lose?" I asked, getting up. "You," he said.

I smiled, he was cute and a bit protective of me, it was a sweet thing for him to do but it's just a cliff dive, he said so himself that no one get's hurt. "One day, Jacob I will jump off that cliff, but not today, because you are obviously not going to let me," I told him.

"Nope," he said, smiling. I rolled my eyes as we made our way back with the others, then we had a bonfire, it was fun. I yawned, "You tired?" Jake asked me. "No," I lied. He ignored me, "Hey guys, I'm gonna drive Bella home okay?" he said. He picked me up, and carried me to my car, he whipped out the keys, wait a second where did he get them? He turned on the car, and drove down the road, "I can't believe I'm driving your car!" he said, speeding down the road.

"Me either," I muttered from the backseat, then I heard police sirens. "Dammit," Jacob said. "Pull over your convertible!" a voice said. "Jake, pull over!" I told him, he took one look in the rear view mirror and reluncantly pulled over. "You seriously weren't thinking to make a run for it were you?" I asked him. Before he could answer, the officer walked over to the car, I looked at the badge, Cheif Swan.

Crap. "You were speeding..." Charlie's voice, was cut off by loud music, I turned around to see a Jeep speeding down the road. "Hey!" Cahrlie said, and the Jeep pulled over, "I guess we weren't the only ones speeding," Jacob whispered to me. "We?!" I almost shouted. "Your the one behind the wheel," I said. "Yes, but this is your car," Jake said.

"Really, Jacob just don't break the speeding laws again, I don't want to go through this again," I said. "How come you get away with it?" he asked, out of nowhere. "I'm better at it than you are," I told him, and then Charlie came back. "I need idenfication please," he said. "Um, aw crap I don't have it with me," Jake said. I groaned, "Sir, this is my car, and I do have my ID and registartion," I told Charlie and gave it to him.

"Then why is he driving it?" he asked. "We were over in La Push, and I was tired, and Jacob here offered me to drive me home," I explained. "Because good friends don't let friends drive sleepy," Jake said, smiling. Oh dear lord.

"That's only if they are drunk Jake," Charlie said. "I'm going to have to tell Billy, Jacob," Charlie said, "And you, I'm going to call your parents too," he said. Shoot me. "No! they are on a date, it's their anniversay, can I tell them myself? If you don't think I would call them tommorow please?" I asked.

"Okay," he agreed. "Thank you!" I said. "But you still get a speeding ticket," he said. "Oh, I know," I said. Then he walked over to the Jeep, "Jake, move you aren't driving my car again," I told him. "Aw, Bells!" he whined. I glared at him, he surrendured in defeat, I sat in the front seat, and Jacob was in the back, then I realizied I still didn't have a key, and Jacob was running away with it.

"Jake!" I yelled. He was running down the road, "I swear I'll hunt you down!" I told him jumping out of my car and running after him. I was vaguely aware that Charlie was watching and so were the people in the Jeep but I didn't care. "Catch me if you can!" Jacob teased. I picked up the pace, and jumped on his back, and we both fell down.

I wrestled with him a bit, this was when Charlie decided to 'break-up the fight' which is how it looked like. I pinned Jacob on the road, and snatched my keys from his hand. I got up and was walking to my car, by the time Charlie reached us, "Are you okay?" he asked. I was about to answer but he wasn't asking me, he was asking Jacob, well I did kick his butt.

I got in my car, and put the key in ignotion, "Bella wait up!" Jacob yellled, jogging over to me. "Catch me if you can!" I yelled back, stealing his words from previously. "Aw come on!" he said. I laughed, and drove until he couldn't see me anymore, I did a circle around the block and came up from behind him. "Oh, I thought you ditched me," he said. "It was tempting," I said, he got in the car, and I drove home.

I let Jacob drive home with my old truck, it can't really speed without breaking down so, I thought it was safe. I came home around 12:30, PM of course, I walked into my room and fell asleep almost instantly, then I realizied I have to tell Renee and Phil that I got speeding ticket. I groaned into my pillow. I did ask for an eventful day.
