Chapter 7

Jakes arms gripped around my waist holding me into him with his chest against my back, radiating the heat of his sculpted abdomen. We had the covers slung low at our waists and for the first time in days I felt…normal.

He leaned in kissing my ear as one of his hands reached to mine, entwining our fingers together. "This has killed me and it hasn't even been a week. I think your right. I'll leave school."

I let out a little laugh because I knew he was joking. He was serious in his words but I knew that he would never do it, nor would I want him to.

"I say we lock the door and never leave." Letting go of his hand and turning to face him, resting my hand in his hair.

"Now that's a plan." He kissed my lips before looking into my eyes serious for a moment. "You know, if you did ask me, I'd come to Seattle like you asked me at the bus station. I would do it if you needed me."

"I love you," I pecked his lips. "But if you get any crazy ideas to screw up our happy little future, I'll kick you ass." I joked as he pulled me closer to him.

It was the plan, our future; we would stick out all the madness of not getting to see one another for the next year because our future was already set. After that it was the fight with our careers and then wedded bliss – though I still struggle with that thought – and someday our own little Black/Swan family.

I let him pull me into him again, his beautiful tanned torso against my pale chest. He always looks so much prettier than me. It always made me laugh.

Jakes tone was still serous. "I know, but there are other options you know. It's been a hard week and you seemed to be so busy this week and you didn't even go to class."

"I know but I just had to make sure he was ok, you know? It was just to settle my mind." His tone was still questionable of Edward. I didn't dare to explain the how or whys of anything Edward. That was something between Edward and I. But in his tone I could hear a slight strangle of jealousy that I had been seeing another guy even if it was only platonic.

Jake thought I had been at the hospital more than I actually had; the truth was I just needed a little time to myself. I loved talking to Jake but it was me just being me and needing space.

"Yeh well least he's fine and you don't need to bother with him anymore." Jake finished finitely. I gave him it; he didn't want to think of me and Edward becoming friends after our introduction.

"Why are we even talking about this, I came here to see you." I let my smile widen at his beautiful eyes come to life when I spoke about us.

"I'm so glad you did. No doubt I'll have detention on Monday but they can have me, cause then, I won't have anyone to distract me." he kissed my nose.

I wiggled my body close into him loving the feeling of him wrap his legs around my ankles. "Play with me?" I asked him with my eyes peering up through my lashes.

He placed a hungry kiss on my cheek making me squeal with laughter.

We lay in a sweaty daze wrapped up in one another once again as my phone went off.

I squirmed over Jake trying to reach my bag as he held on to me jokingly trying to stop me.

"Quit it." I slapped his hands back.

"And I thought you had came to spend time with me." he slapped my back side playfully

"Alice." I called into my phone.

"What happed to you? Jasper told me you went home?" Her worried voice on the other end.

"Yeh, sorry I never said to you. I just needed to get away for a bit." Jakes hand running up my arm.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeh, I'm fine, just needed a bit of home time, you know."

"Yeh. It will be good for you." She could sense that I had an uneasy time of sleep this past week.

"How is Edward, are they letting him out tomorrow?"

"He's fine. The usual, it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes. They said since dad would be home he could get out today. He should be out in a couple of hours once they finish with the meds." You could hear her relax at the though of him going home and it was what I needed for me to put the week behind me and enjoy my time with Jake and Charlie.

"That's good. Tell him I was asking for him and say hi to the rest of them for me to."

"When do you get back?"

"I'll be back to the dorm sometime Sunday lunchtime. I need to try and get things sorted. It just slid down by the waist this week."

"Ok, I'll see you then, I'll be in when you get back." I was happy with that. I could have the Sunday night nerves that I was supposed to have. We were both still pretty much in the same boat.

"Bye Alice."

"Did they think you did a Houdini on them?" Jake asked with a small laugh.

"Just a little. I'm pretty sure she was worried I wasn't coming back." I let out a little smile at the thought. "So do you want to stay for dinner?" I kissed his lips.

"Is it you or Charlie cooking?"

"Me" I roll my eyes as if there is any other way.

"Then how can I refuse."

Jake helped me cook, well when I say help I mean reach up to the high shelves and that's about it. There is only one other person that can cook worse than Charlie, and that's Jake. I don't even let him help beyond him getting me the ingredients because there is just no help for him, he would always be a terrible cook.

So he helped by getting the ingredients from the high shelves and we just talked as he wrapped his arms around me.

"So, do you think Billy will go mad at you for breaking out of school early?"

"No I think he will be fine about it since it was to see you. I think he's just happy that I haven't already left and drove down to Seattle."

"Does he think I'm trying to corrupt you into joining me?" I give him a small smile.

"No it's, it's just been harder than I thought it would be." He gives out honestly in a small voice. That voice always worries me. "He keeps telling me to use it to get my head into my books so I have a better chance when I finish shcool."

I put down the knife on the counter and turn to face him wrapping my arms around his neck. "You know it's not always going to be as hard. Give it a couple of weeks and you'll be happy for the peace and hanging out with the guys in the garage.

"Do you believe that?" he asked sceptically

"No." I give out meekly. "But if I keep thinking it I hope I will." He shook his head with a small laugh. "I hope that I get enough work to do that I am too distracted to notice."

"Your mad." He tells me.

"Mad for you." I cup his cheek rubbing my thumb along his face.

I have a flash of doing it to Edward in the hospital and it knocks me for six. I don't know why but it just felt wrong. I had used it to calm Edward and now I used it on Jake feeling intimate.

I had done it to Jake many a time before. But after doing to it to another man I felt like I had violated it. I turned back to the knife cutting at the chicken feeling his arms wrap around me tight once again hoping he had never sensed my uneasiness.

It was ridiculous I knew it. It was just a little gesture but it felt like it was ruined. Perhaps it was still just all too fresh in my mind. I would never dare tell Jake what happened that night in the hospital. He wouldn't like it. It would just up set him.

He kissed at my shoulder and pulled away to sit at the table as we hear the front door open.

"Bella?" Charlie called from the front door.

"In here dad." I called back as he joined us. "Dinner isn't ready yet. I didn't expect you back so early.

"I didn't expect you back." He walked up giving me a small one armed hug with a peck on the cheek. "Jake." Jake gave him a nod.

"Yeh well, you know, I just needed to come home." I shrugged.

"Bella?" He called, his voice full of concern

I turned to him placing down the knife as I knew he needed more. He was worried why I was back and if I would go back.

"I just need to get something out the car." Jake shifted uneasily out the kitchen knowing it would be best if he gave us a moment.

Charlie sat down on the seat as I nervously played with my fingers and took a seat.

"So you going to tell me why your back?" He looked at me worried. "You worried about college?"

I shook my head. "No it's not that, I haven't actually really been there." I shrugged again. Charlie looked at me worried about to speak. "No I like it but just after Sunday a just felt a little out of synch. I just needed to come home and see you both and relax. I'm leaving here Sunday morning so I'm organise for Monday"

You could see the look in his eyes he was still worried. "So it's not because you're missing Jake?" he looked slightly confused.

"I do miss Jake, but don't worry I've not quit college to come back home." I let a light laugh out at the thought. "I'm just here to…see my family after a long week."

Charlie nodded; he understood "So, this boy, he gave you a bit of a fright?"

I smiled at him "You have no idea. But he will be back home now so he is fine. It just wasn't something I expected."

"But you did good, helping him out like that." his hand reaching my shoulder giving a reassuring smile.

"But I came home to see you too and make sure that you are well fed. I bet you have been down at that dinner every night since I have left." I changed the subject.

He looked guilty

"Dad." I scald him. "We'll don't worry, I have plenty of vegetables for you tonight." He scrunched up his nose "You do know you are like a child sometimes."

"Be nice. So you got anything planned for when your home?"

I stood up getting back to the diner as the atmosphere relaxed. "Not yet. I think I'll just lay low, do you have any plans?"

"Fishing, but I'll cancel Billy now you're here."

"No don't do that. We can spend time together before you go don't blow off Billy. I know what you two are like. Go have fun like the kid I know you are." I laughed at him as he seemed to agree.

"Jake." I called, hearing him come back in a few moments ago but still giving us space.

"Yeh." Walking back through to the kitchen.

"Could you do me a big favour?" I gave him the biggest smile I could, luring him closer to me.

"Anything for you?" his lips grazing my cheek, Charlie coughed reminding us he was still here.

"Can you set the table?" His face fell then his eyes rolled before muttering a 'fine'. Charlie just looked at me in amusement knowing I could twist him around my little finger.

After diner Jake never stayed long. He knew that Charlie would want some time with me before he left for the fishing and that once Charlie was gone that he'd have me all to him self practically.

I looked at the television screen trying to take in the football game but football had never been my thing. He would be better with Jakes company after all. So I Just sat there not really taking in what was on the screen.

"Now that was a save." I heard Charlie's tone, happy and excited.

"Hmmm." I gave not really knowing what he was taking about or the fact that I hadn't even actually seen the 'save'.

"You're pretty quiet there? How you holding up?" He asked concerned.

"I'm fine. Just a little tired. It was a long drive." And along with almost no sleep last night. I'm exhausted.

"You should go to bed, catch up on sleep. We can get a DVD or something for tomorrow night."

"Yeh, ok. I'll see you in the morning Dad."

"Night Bella." He called to me as I headed for the stairs.

I made my way to my room and began getting ready for bed. I had left my phone on my bed and looked down to check it. It had a text from Jake.

"Just let me know if you need me to come over. I love you. x"

I send a reply back letting him know I was shattered and that I would see him the next day. I really only did need my bed right then. I was so done in from lack of sleep.

I got into bed shut my eyes and that was me – I was out like a light.

I woke up, looking out the window to see the day bright, too bright for the end of September in Forks in the morning. I turned to my clock. I was the back of twelve. I had slept for over fourteen hours. I could believe it.

I picked up my phone with the intent to call Charlie and ask why he hadn't said goodbye this morning instead of leaving me sleep in.

Looking at the phone I had three text messages. One from Jake, obviously, one from Rosalie and one from Jasper. It was nice to hear from Rose and Japer. They both asked me if I was ok and that they hoped to see me on Sunday. It gave me a warm feeling that they were concerned about me when I went home. I texted them both back letting them know I was fine and that I would see them when I got back.

Jakes text was saying that he was back at school, that Billy had made him go but he would see me as soon as it was over.

I still had another four hours until he would be her so I set about giving the house a clean and doing the washing I brought with me. We had washing machines in the dorm but I may as well do it here. I brought it because I knew at some point I would have nothing to do.

With the house cleaned and washing, washed, I sorted through the few of my remaining belongings picking out a few things I would now have space for in my truck on the way back.

I heard the floor creek behind me and I knew it was Jake as he pulled me into him from behind, wrapping his arms around me tight and kissing my ear.

"Someone looks like that have been a busy bee." He commented as he dug around a box full of things I had planned to take back with me to Seattle.

"We'll I thought I might as well try and take more of my things down." I slapped his hand out before he had the whole lot out of the box and all over my bed.

As I tucked in more things the pulled the box from below my hands placing it on the floor as I turned to look at him

"Later." He told me as he pulled me closer kissing me deeply and falling on top of me on the bed. He used his arms to hold himself up, so not to squash me completely, not that I would have complained.

I felt his fingers roam the piece of skin between my jeans and my shirt. His warm hands caressing my sides before they made there way slowly up my stomach, reaching higher.

"So is this what you have planned for me all weekend?" I ask with a knowing grin.

"You bet your ass; well I suppose I could let you out the house for a little." His nose pressing up the side of my face as he kisses the side of my mouth.

I let my hands wonder below the surface of his shirt pulling it up his back. He sits up and lifts it up over his head revealing his muscular chest that makes me weak at the knees. I let my hand roam across it, feeling the definition.

His fingers struggles, but manages my buttons on my shirt as he opens it up exposing me in my bra. "You're gorgeous, anyone ever tell you that?" he whispered into my ear.

I feel his hand on my bra covered chest and his warm fingers slowly trail down reaching for the button of my jeans as I reach for his belt.

It was Friday evening as me and Charlie sat in front of the television with the DVD he picked for us. I had been watching it with some interest but like last week, I had the excitement building up inside of me for starting school. I know it was stupid, considering I had actually already started but it felt like a false start and that this week was going to be it fitting into place. Not just for me but for the rest of us as well.

Come Sunday I would be sitting in my room getting organised with Alice for our first real day there. Thinking about it right now I feel the excitement of starting but without the nervousness of being worried who my roommate would be and I had already made some friends. This week was going to be a lot better than the last. I knew it would.

"You ok there kiddo?" Charlie brought me back to the real world as I focused on the TV screen before him

"Yeh, I was just thinking that it will be like starting college again this week without any of the bad bits."

"What like having to give first aid?" he let out a small amused laugh.

I gave a little laugh back "No, I was thinking that I already get on well with my roommate and also that I have made friends too. I don't have to worry about that bit."

"I suppose you don't. I'm sure this week you will fit right in, especially since you have those other kids to hang around with. Jake said that Alice's older brother and girlfriend were really nice."

"Yeh, there all really good people, Edward's roommate Jasper is also great, he was really good this week." I think back to Jasper and without him I don't know how I would have got through the rest of the week, without him staying up and listening to me I would have gone insane.

"Yeh, by the sounds of it that Japer will have a lot to deal with, with Edward." He told me, confusing me.

"How do you mean dad?" I asked curiously.

"Well just what Jake said about the kid, that he's a bit…obnoxious?" He shrugged. "He said he had an attitude problem and was worried if you were going to have to put up with him if you became friendly with Alice."

I couldn't believe that Jake would come back and tell Charlie that. Why would he say that about anyone? "Jake doesn't even know him. I can't believe he would say that about someone after two minutes." I defended.

I defended.

Yeh I had defended Edward. Ok so we might not be friends with his say so but it wasn't for Jake to go around talking about him like that when he knows nothing about him. I didn't want him talking like that when even I didn't know what was with Edward.

"Ok no need to get ratty. I was just saying that he would be hard to put up with." Charlie defended himself.

That was the conversation over.

I lay out on my bed waiting for Jake. I knew he would be here soon as Billy had not long picked up Charlie to go fishing. Sitting up I finished readying myself as I heard him call for me from the bottom of the stairs letting me know he was here as he made his way up to my bedroom.

"Hey." He kissed me on the lips, his hand pulling me into him, holding onto my neck.

"Hey." I breathed out trying to catch my breath back.

"How are you today?" he asked as he threw himself out on my just made bed.

"Fine, you?" I asked sitting beside him, crawling into his corner as he wrapped his arms around me pulling me down with him in to the bed.

"All the better for seeing you but hell this is our last night." His tone was sad.

I reached up kissing his lips enjoying what I could.

"Did you speak to Charlie about Edward…you know about what he was like." I don't know why I asked it. I just hade to know why he would tell Charlie

"Yeh how." She shrugged.

"Why, why did you have to tell him that?" I asked feeling annoyed he told him what happened.

"He asked me what they were like, he was worried about you."

"So you told Charlie all about him. What was that going to do?"

"He was an ass. I just told him because he asked Bella." I felt my self get angry at that.

"It wasn't your place, you know nothing about him." I sat up looking at him

"And you do?"

"Not really but you shouldn't have spoken about him." Perhaps Edward was right to keep everyone away at arms length if no one was going to give you a second chance, to Jake he had been written off as the ass he thought he was."

"What does it matter what I said to Charlie, the guy is a dick." Jake's voice rose as mines did as he sat up too.

"You don't know anything about him. You don't get to talk about people like that." I was firm, loud and had well passed the mark of conversation, this was an argument.

"Bella I don't know why you're defending him, I'm guessing because you helped him. But even though you helped him it doesn't change the fact that he's a total ass hole. He should have –"

I cut him off standing up. "I know he should have been nicer but that's just him ok. You don't even know anything about him. You, you just go running off to Charlie telling him that you're worried because I'm friendly with his sister."

"Yeh, why should you have to put up with him?" That was me, I was pissed. He felt like people had to just put up with him. That's how Edward must think people feel. Jake is standing here proving Edward right and it was so wrong.

"I don't put up with him; he could have been a friend. Why do you have to see the bad in people? Did you ever think starting college was hard for him?"

"Come on Bella, it's not hard to be nice, to say hello. He was just looking for attention; he's just an obnoxious prick."

"Don't say that Jacob. Leave him alone."

"Why are we even arguing about this guy? I don't like him. End of." He stood up looking down on me. I hated the way he was looking at me, he knew it too. I had some how crossed the line and now was coming the fall out. "I'm out of here, I really don't want to talk about this any more." He turned for my door going through it and slamming it closed behind him. I heard the front door close also before I heard the rabbit start up and drive away.

What have I done? I caused a stupid row over someone that doesn't even want to be my friend. I wouldn't be surprised if Edward thought I had the same opinion as Jake and that why he didn't want to be friends, he probably thought I was just saying it to make life easier for Alice.

Though I can't believe that Jake would be so horrible about some one he doesn't know. Edward has done nothing to him. Ok I suppose I could understand Jake, Edward ignored us and that's all Jake seen of him, how he was to Alice. But even she said it was a condition. Jake just can't score him off and not like him for that. He can't.

I sat there for two hours thinking over our argument. I really didn't know who was wrong on this one. Jake doesn't have the information like I do, he never spoke to Carlisle. I know Edward wants to keep a distance because that's who he is but I will see him around with Alice. It just seems to me that Edward is part of the Alice package. That's fine with me as long as we can be nice enough to one another.

Jake just doesn't understand, maybe I should tell him, but I really don't know anything. It was all just part of his 'condition'. I could tell Jake what I know about it but it's unfair to Edward. He's made his decision of who he is and what's known. Perhaps it's a little hypocritical of me to be as harsh to Jake for not liking someone when Edward doesn't want to be friends because of what I'll think of him, when her starts his supposed 'crap'.

I look out at the wet miserable Forks day and feel a shiver. No Jake to wrap his arms around me and warm me up. I'm wrong, I know I am. Jake is allowed his own opinion of who ever he wants. I just doesn't seem fair to make it when he doesn't know the facts. I don't want to go back to Seattle not working this out. I couldn't do it. I don't even know when I'll see him next and were arguing. We promised we wouldn't let this year get in between us. And I don't plan on letting it.

I rattle my fist off the front door and stand and waiting for it to open. No answer. His car is sitting outside the garage so he must be around so I try seeing if he's working on what ever project he's working on this week and head for the garage.

He's not to be seen anywhere. I see the motorbikes sitting out, well mine at least. He must have gone out on it on his own. I pull at mine and fight to get it through the garage. Jake usually does this for me not wanting me to hurt myself. Tough if I do.

I swing my leg over and start it easing the accelerator before taking off into the direction that I know he would have headed. The tyres roll through the damp mud and grass sliding slightly below me but I manage to hold it steady as I pick up speed. Before I know it I see Jake in the distance, standing over his motorbike with his arms crossed and his face like thunder. He's not cooled down much I'm guessing.

I pull up to him slowing down and pulling the front tyre to my right so not to run in to him. As I do this the wheel slides below the wet dirt and grass making me slide and fall on to my side on the bike.

"Bella." Jakes worried voice calls as he jumps to help me. "Are you ok"

"Still talking to me then?" I ask with a small dig wiping my hands as he pulls at the bike.

"I'll always talk to you." His tone was flat.

"That's why you went slamming out my bedroom door." I looked at him as I found my feet as he sat up the motorbike.

"Did you come here for a reason or just to argue some more?" he turns his back to me paying some kinda fake attention to his bike.

"Jake, don't turn around, I came her to apologise ok. I was wrong. I shouldn't have said what I said. I just think that you don't really know him to judge him."

"Yeh I don't know him and neither do you so stop defending him, you helped him like you would a stranger in the street. End of."

"I know him, i…I…It doesn't matter ok. Can we please just not argue because I love you and I don't want to be wasting time apart when we get to be together." I reach to him and wrap my arms around his waist feeling his warm heat – any shiver long gone now.

"Do you love me?" He asks

"Of course I do, you know I do." How could he ever question me.

A smug smile spreading across his lips. "Prove it."

I reach up kissing him letting my hands wander up to his neck before I let my fingers run through his raven hair pulling him down to me.

He reaches down grabbing the backs of my thighs and lifting me up, making me wrap my legs around his waist. I must be getting dirt on him but it's the least of my worries as he holds me into him his tongue toying with mine.

Our passionate clinch gets more and more heated as we pull and grab each other wanting to be even closer to one another. He settles me down back on my feet, his warmth leaving me as I catch my breath.

"Let's get back to the house." The argument is over and forgotten. I give a small nod getting on the bike as I hear Jake staring his engine and speeding off in front of me.

No one is worth arguing with Jake. I refuse to waist any more of the little time I have with him as I get seated on my bike and start up the engine following Jakes retreating form back to home.
