After we talked to Charlie for a few hours he basically kicked us out of his room. Charlie did not want us to worry but he did however want me to come back around dinner time with a meal that was better than hospital food. That's Charlie for you. The ride back home was silent. Jacob didn't say a word and the tension between the two of us was taking a toll on Oliver's spirit.
"Hey Oliver did you get any emails from Amy yet?" I asked
"I have not checked but I'm hoping we could make an appearance somewhere tonight. I really need to let lose."
Jacob sighed.
"Is there a problem Jacob?"
He shook his head no. I could have punched a hole in the dashboard. That was how angry he was making me. We pulled up to the house and I dashed from the car. Oliver followed me. I opened the door and quickly made my way over towards the trunk to unload my things. Jacob sat in the car.
"Thank you so much. Stay where you are. I can carry all 10 suitcases myself," I yelled at him.
"No problem," he yelled back.
"You know what Jake?"
Jacob got out of the truck and made his way over to where I was. The look in his eyes lacked emotion. He looked like he did not give a damn about what I had to say or let alone thought about him. But I did not care I had something to say and I was going to let it all out.
"What?" He asked "What do you have to say?"
"You and your attitude are on my last nerve. I can't believe how childish you are being. This is so ridiculous. Obviously you're the one who has something to get off your chest otherwise you would not be acting like this. So why don't you say it and save us both the time."
Jake smirked.
"Are you done now?"
"Ugh," I said as I stormed off towards the front door.
Maybe I should have been paying more attention because Oliver, my loving and dear friend Oliver, had locked the door and was now mockingly in the window pointing at his watch. I left the suitcase on the steps and stood in front of the window. I could not believe this. What I needed was to get away from Jake. But now I was locked outside with him.
"Oliver this is not funny. Open that damn door now," I yelled.
"This is for the good of you both. I'm not going to open the door until you work things out. I did not come here to be in the company of this Bella. I want my best girlfriend back," he yelled from behind the window.
"I'm sorry. But please could you open the door?"
"Not until you work things out," he said before disappearing behind the Curtin.
I sighed and turned to see Jake leaning on the car. He had a devious smile on his face. The rain started up again which was great. Just great, I thought.
"This is your entire fault. If you would stop being stubborn and talk to me than we would not be in this situation," I said, walking towards him.
"Are we not talking?"
"You know what I mean Jake. I am not dressed for this weather."
"You are not dressed for forks. You and your friend are parading around here like you're in sunny California. Did you forget that it rains everyday all day here? Oh no you did not forget you just wanted to be photo ready."
"Are you mocking me?"
"No…why on earth would I do that?"
"You are. You know what screw you Jake."
"That seems to be your favorite line. I got the Screw you Jake a long time ago thank you."
"You should really grow up."
Jake laughed hysterically.
"I'm fully grown over here Bella. Listen you had better get your friend Oliver to open that door because I have a date."
"You have a date?" I asked
"That's what I said."
"I'm sure he's watching through the curtains so just hug me like you never want me to go."
"What?" he asked clueless
"Oliver is a great observer. If he sees affection he'll open the door. Just give me a hug like you mean it oh and also smile like a blush when I stop talking."
"I'm no good at this."
"Consider this acting 101. Smile like you love me and hug like you never want to let me go."
Jake nodded and smiled. The smile was so convincing. I almost got side tracked for a moment. Then I saw his lips tense. I wrapped my arms around him tightly. Jake took a while to react but he did. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and inhaled. The hug felt so good. It was something I missed. I missed Jacobs's bear hugs. I missed everything about him. After a few minutes he pulled away. I looked down at the ground and crossed my arms. I was trying to resist the urge to stare into his eyes.
"Do you think it worked?" Jacob said
"Let's find out."
I made my way over towards the door and there was Oliver. I did not say a word. Jake and Oliver unpacked the bags and I came with an excuse. I made my way towards the bathroom and closed the door. It was same exact way I remembered both cold and plain. I slide my body onto the floor and pulled my knees towards my chest. It took no time for the tears to emerge. I could not help it. Sitting on the floor reminded me of when I was 16. I spent most of my days like this when my mom died. I bled tears for years and being back in forks brought on so many memories, both good and bad.
There was a light knock at the door. I did not respond. The knob turned and I looked up to see Jacob. He did not say anything. He came into the bathroom with me and closed the door. He slid his body onto the floor beside me. I did not look at him. I just held my attention on the tiles of the floor.
"I remember the first time I found you siting on the floor like this. I stayed in here with you for 3 hours like this," he said.
"Jake you don't have to sit here with me. I'm a big girl."
"Right now you are not. Your life here is still on hold at 16. You grew up in L.A. But your life was put on hold here at 16."
"It's hard being here like this. Charlie's sick and you hate me. I understand why you hate me I just wish you didn't."
"How I feel should not matter to you."
I turned my attention towards him.
"But it does. My life in forks has always had you in it. I can't see life here without you."
"I understand but I think it's a good idea for us not to be friends. I was a jerk to you earlier and you were right I do need to grow up. This is me being growing up."
I nodded.
"So we are never going to talk about what happened?" I asked
"There is no point."
I stood to my feet.
"That's bullshit Jacob. We need to take a trip down memory lane. It's the only way to fix this."
Jacob stood up. He was so close that I had backed myself into the wall to get a little space.
"Bella stop it. Just leave it alone."
"No…why won't you talk to me? Why won't you tell me how you feel?"
"You are about to ruin everything."
I took a step closer to him. At that moment I saw it. Jacob had let down his guard. I could see how hurt he really was. I had done that to him.
"I hate you. You are being such a coward right now…"
It all happened fast after that. Jacob pushed me back up against the wall. His lips silenced my words and swallowed them whole. He wrapped my legs around his waist and made lightly trailed kisses down my neck. My core got drenched as his hands ravaged my body. I was finally getting what I wanted for years. The only body I was compatible with. Jacob sat me on top of the sink. He looked into my eyes. I could see the lust pooling within him.
"I hate you too," he whispered.
I unbuckled his pants. Jacob ripped my clothes off and gripped onto my wrists and thrusted slowly inside me. His penis was like sunshine on this miserable day. I moaned in ecstasy as Jacob picked up momentum. I heard a faint ring from cellphone. Jacob came to a complete stop. It was like he was released from a trance.
"Don't answer it."
Jacob removed himself from me and grabbed his phone.
"Hey babe," he said.
I sat there and watched him finish up his conversation as he got dressed. I felt an idiot. I was setting myself up for a disappointing failure. Jacob hung up the phone.
"Just go."
"Bella we can't do this."
"Yea I figure that out a few minutes ago. Goodbye Jake."
"We'll talk," He said as he exited."
"Save it for someone who gives a shit," I yelled.
J.P.O.V
I exited Charlie's house quickly. I did not even think to say goodbye to Bella's friend which was rude of me but I had to get out. Mia's phone call had stopped me from making the biggest mistake of my life. There was no point in falling under Bella's spell again. She would be gone again as soon as Charlie was well. I entered the car. Her scent was everywhere. It probably still lingered on my body. She smelled like honey. It was a sweet smell. I sat outside of Charlie's for a few seconds to clear my head.
Looking at the time I sped off and headed home. Mia was cooking us dinner. She was the perfect woman both strong and successful. I had met her at one of the clubs I owned in Seattle. She handles public relations for major Businesses. She travels a lot which rarely leaves time for our relationship but in relationships you only get a certain percent. 50 percent was her beauty and 25 percent was love and success. But Mia was my girl. She was perfect and the total opposite of Bella. There was nothing innocent about Mia. She is a bombshell with long blonde hair and killer green eyes. I never thought of the day I would be dating a blonde but that all changed when I met Mia.
I pulled up to the house and got out the car. Inside I found Mia in one of my buttoned down shirts and nothing else. She was in the kitchen still cooking. She was sexiest with less in my eyes. Kicking off my shoes I headed towards the couch.
"Jake is that you?" she yelled
"Yea Babe," I yelled. "It smells good in here Mama Mia
Mia hurried from the kitchen and straddled my waist where I sat. She kissed me passionately before coming up for air with a warm smile on her face.
"God I've missed you," I said.
"Me too. How was Bee swan? Is she as beautiful in person as she is in her movies?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Not you too…"
"What? I'm a fan. She's a great actress. Not to mention those beautiful features. I bet you were star struck when you saw her."
Mia sniffed my neck and sighed.
"You smell like her. What were you joined at the hip?"
"No we made out in a bathroom."
Mia punched my arm lightly.
"That's not funny. But no seriously babe could you shower. I don't like the smell of other women on you."
"But I thought you were a fan of Bee's? I smiled
"I am and maybe my loving and supportive boyfriend could put in a good word and schedule a lunch for us to meet. I sure she could use someone like me with her career sky rocketing."
"No!"
Mia looked confused.
"Jake…"
"You agreed that you were going to take some time off for us. Not to mention you have been really sick lately. Speaking of sick how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay my doctor says I'll be fine now."
"Now?" I asked "What was wrong with you?"
Mia was quiet. She stood to her feet and headed toward the kitchen. I got up and followed her.
"Mia…what the hell was wrong with you?" I asked impatiently
"Calm down Jacob we are going to talk about it?"
"Talk about what?"
"I had and abortion," she said.
I felt like my ears were ringing.
"You had an abortion without fucking telling me?" I yelled
"Jake let's discuss this like adults."
"Were you out of your fucking mind Mia? Do you have any idea what you have done?"
"I did it for us. Our careers are at their peak and we don't have time for a baby."
"We could have made time for one. You know what I don't want to talk about this. I'm leaving," I said heading for the door.
"Jake please, where are you going?" she said grabbing my arm
"Let go now," I warned.
"You're being so inconsiderate and selfish Jake. This is the thanks I get for doing a good deed."
"You killed a baby Mia. It's no good deed. I thought we agreed that when you got pregnant you would keep it."
"I don't want a kid Jake. I just don't."
"Well maybe we shouldn't be together."
"After everything we have been through? Fuck you Jake" she said as the tears poured from her eyes.
"Fuck you Mia. We are done," I said as I left her in there drowning in her own tears.
I made my way back to the car. Fury and anger built inside of me. There was only one person I knew who could help me calm down and that was Sam and his wife Emily.
