Chapter 6: All Senses

He took me by the waist and pulled me close up against his chest. Did he grow?

"Get on my back." He said anxiously.

"What?"

"Just- get on." He said with a bit of frustration and annoyance. "Ready?"

"For what?"

"You'll see." I don't think I am ready to see, but I am ready to know. But before I could say anything we were off at lightning speed. Faster than I ever thought possible on someone's back. I watched everything but I didn't know what was going on, though I knew we were moving quickly. Wow. It was so amazing moving faster than I've ever been, I couldn't say ever; planes. But this experience was nothing like anything I have ever seen or done. Super-fast... I didn't feel like thinking of anything, or maybe it was the headache the fast movement was causing me. I'm pretty sure we went up a tree but it was too blurry to see anything or even hear. The mixture of sounds, the wind grinding in my ears and my whipping hair slottering them to shreds. Before I knew it, Jake and I were looking down at the small town of Forks, compared to the wide range of beautiful, fresh, pine tree forests the Quillettes have preserved. Yes, we were in a tree. This was it, the place I needed to escape to, where my mom had been telling me about my whole life. I was still stunned.

"Ho- How did you?"

"Super-fast?" He smirked. I had actually asked aloud, though knowing I still knew this place, up high above everyone else, it had a meaning behind it. Something my mom was trying to tell me about this whole time. "It's gotta mean something to you..." Right before my laugh something shot me right in the back of my head; my headache was starting up.

"OW!"

"Oh my god Bella! What did I do to you?" I was shocked and amused of how Jacob was so cautious with me, thinking he was always the one doing the wrongs. I chuckled for half-a-second.

"It's not you. I have a headache." He was relieved, obviously. And he chuckled too of how foolish it was to think he could hurt me. Possibly. I didn't know though. He should though. I know that he knows that I know that he would never hurt me. And that is a lot of knowing.

"You didn't close your eyes, did you?"

"No warnings?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, I am so sorry." He replied sorrily. He took me by complete surprise.

"You're sorry about everything. Even being a vampire."

"So you think I shouldn't forgive you for making your life more complicated than it is? It's hard for you Bella, I know how it is."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME?!" I said starting to get teary and emotionally dragged with this horrible temper of whenever someone has to go into my personal life. Though our relationship had just started to grow, the connection between Jacob and I felt like we were best friends for 80 years. I could see where he was getting all his inspiration from. "JACOB, YOU DON'T KNOW ME AS MUCH AS I KNOW YOU BEING A GOD DAMN VAMPI-." I almost said it in a full sentence, I even scared myself just by the thought.

"I knew this could have happened."

"What?" I finally asked calmly.

"This getting around."

"Jacob, I already told you. I would never tell a soul."

"Didn't you just see that?! What if I make you mad and you decide you want revenge."

"Good thing I believe in Karma then. Lucky you, right?" He didn't smile, there were no chuckles or giggles. Only that unfamiliar silence that slipped in the slots of time Jake and I didn't talk.

The strain came back once more, but this was different. Much more powerful and it made me feel sick in places i never felt in my body. And, I cried. It was too awkward. I've never felt like this, ever. He sees my reaction and next thing you know we're on the ground.

"Oh god. I am so sorry Bella. Here, sit down."

My head grows heavy and I can't hold it up, and I unconsciously fall into a sleep.

"Bella?" I hear Charlie's voice.

"Hm?" I groggily say awakening.

"She fell asleep at the beach, it was peaceful… Right Bella?" Jacob answers before any interrigation. And I suddenly remember. Jacob is not known to my father, and I play along.

"Yeah, yeah. Dad, you should have been there." I say glancing at Jacob, normal-faced and no reaction.

"Been there? No, I should have been in that football game. Whooo! What a show! Huh, Billy?"

I see Billy slowly coming out of the house on his wheelchair. He stares at me, suspiciously.

"Well, gotta go you guys, it's late?" Jacob replies randomly, obviously trying to break the tension.

"Yeah, I'm tired, even after that nap." I say gradually stepping backwards to the house.

"Bye, Bella…" Billy says.

"Bye." I reply anxious to get inside. Though, I hear Billy smirk about something to the unknown, or maybe not.

"You know? There was something wrong with Billy tonight. His mind really was on something else. I worry bout him, Bella." Charlie says.

"Yeah, me too."
