Chapter 7
Okay so there was some confusion last chapter that'll probably be carried over to this chapter if you skip this and go straight to the story.
Anyway I just wanna clear up NO Jake didn't imprint on Trisha. Sorry ): I didn't want him too because thats no fun, then he's just like her and that would be it. I like the relationship they have together in my story :O
I'm new to letting people read my stuff so I'll have to learn to not make it so confusing next time and make it clear. nothing worst than being ambiguous when you arent trying to be .
Okay onwards to the story!
TIME SKIP :D -2 weeks later-
I woke up to running water and the clanging of dishes being moved around. It had been just about a little over two weeks since I had started staying with Jacob, who I now called Jake or JB. His dad Billy had yet to come home, and I was starting to think Jacob had made the whole 'I live with my dad' thing up. Either that or his dad needed to get away and was taking a long awaited vacation. I hadn't seen any of his so called friends either, which was fine by me. We had been over the Cullen's house almost everyday this and last week, but no one seemed to mind.
Today I decided to just hang out with Bella. I grabbed my clothes and a towel and made my way to the bathroom. I did my daily routine and got dressed. I put on a navy blue skirt with a short sleeved white blouse and a vest. I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to go without the vest and tossed it back on the bed when I got into Jake's room. I dug under the bed and retrieved my shoes before heading into the front room.
"Bella!" I announced shock. "You're here early!" I said hugging her.
"Yeah, I came early, but Jake told me you like to sleep in late, so I just hung out with Jake until you woke up."
"Oh that's cool." I said taking a seat and sitting Indian style. Jake came over and handed me a bowl of cereal.
"Thanks!"
Jake took a seat next to Bella and made himself comfortable.
"So how long have you been here Bella? I hope I didn't make you wait too long, did I?"
"No, it's fine. I've been here for maybe about an hour or so."
"Oh jeez, I'm Sorry! Jake can be so boring at times."
"Says you, Bella likes my company." Jake said.
"Yeah, only if she enjoys sleeping – woah! That sounded kinda wrong." I said laughing a little.
Bella turned a light shade of pink.
I finished my cereal before it got all soggy, and sat it on the table. I wiped my mouth and jumped up grabbing Bella's hand.
"Let's go Bella!"
Bella got up and said bye to Jake as I practically dragged her out the door.
"Aren't you going to say bye?"
"He'll be there when we get back."
I slid into the passengers seat, and waited for Bella to turn the car on, but she didn't. Instead she turned and looked at me without saying a word. I stared back at her with a questioning smile.
I was glad to spend time with another normal human, although Jake could pass for one in my book. Bella snapped out of her trance and started the car.
"You don't mind if I plug up my tunes do you?" I asked.
"No, go ahead." She answered.
It had been awhile since I listened to them last. I plugged my ipod on and hit shuffle. Earthquake by The Used started to play, and I began to sing along.
"You have a nice voice." Bella murmured to herself.
I didn't think I was meant to hear her, but I replied anyway.
"You think so? Thanks." I said smiling. "It's always been a kind of hobby or pastime of mines."
"I see." Bella replied. "So where are you from, did you grow up here in Forks?"
"Around, I've been here for a while now, but I was born in California."
Bella nodded her head but said nothing as she continued to drive.
"So where are we heading?"
"To a little spot where they have an arcade and serve drinks, nothing special."
"Sounds good to me."
The next song to start playing was I Miss You by Blink – 182 which was one of my old favorites.
"You really like your music, don't you?" Bella asked.
"Oh yeah, we can change it if you want."
"It's okay, I'm fine." Bella stated.
After about 20 minutes or so we were finally there. We walked in and found ourselves a table before ordering something to drink.
"So Bells, tell me about yourself." I said leaning forward and resting my head in my hands.
"What do you what to know?" she asked.
"IDK, tell me something you'd tell others."
Bella hesitated with the question, unsure on how she wanted to answer.
"Um . . . I don't really. . ." she trailed off.
"Oh I get it, you're the shy type. How cute." I said in a baby voice.
Our waiter came back and handed us our drinks. His nametag read K.C. and he was a mega hottie. But he was totally checking Bella out. He walked away after making sure we had everything, or more like if Bella had everything. I was grinning madly by the time he walked away.
"Oh my gosh Bella, he was so checking you out!"
"What?" she asked looking genuinely shocked and turning a light shade of red.
"Chea! You should go talk to him. Oh wait, that's right you've got Edwardo. I forgot you two are an item." I said snickering while winking at Bella, which only succeeded in making her turn even redder.
"So." She said smiling shyly.
"Jeez! You're so cute, I remember when I was shy like you."
Then I heard the background music.
"FLY! By Sugar Ray."
It had been so long since I had heard that song. It always put me in a good mood. For some reason I was having a really good time and enjoying myself, something I hadn't felt like in ages so it seemed.
"I just wanna fly. Put your arms around me baby, put your arms around me baby!" I sang while dancing in my chair.
Bella started to laugh at how silly I was acting.
"People are looking, stop it." She laughed.
"All around the world statues crumble for me! Who knows how long I've loved you!"
Bella began to blush as I guess more and more people began to take notice to our table.
"Let's give 'em something to look at Bella, loosen up doll face!" I teased.
Then K.C. made his way to our table again.
"There's a karaoke machine, everyone kinda over looks it, but you guys can use it if you want."
"Hells yeah!" I said jumping up. "C'mon Bella, please? It'll be fun, let's try it!" I begged.
"I don't know . . ."
"I'll pick a song we both know okay? I promise."
"Fine." Bella agreed half-heartedly.
Some people clapped as we got onto the small mock stage. I flipped through some of the songs and grinned when I found my selection.
"Okay, guys! I'm about to go boy band on ya, if you're a girl or had a daughter or sister you'll remember this from the 90s."
Bella's eyes widen. "What song?"
Then the music started and I swear Bella's face was the same color as a tomato.
"It's tearin up my heart when I'm with you!"
"But when we are apart, I feel it too!" some girl yelled from her table.
I pointed at her and we sang the next line together.
"And no matter what I do, I feel the pain. With or without you."
I motioned for to come up and join me and she nearly flew out of her seat. At that same time Bella slyly made her way off stage.
"Baby I can't understand, just why we can't be lovers. Things are getting out of hand. Trying too much, but baby we can win."
Then the girl next to me started to clap on beat.
We sung for what seemed like hours. By then we were running through the tables of people we had gained. This guy at the pinball machine whistled and whooo at us, and I made my way towards him. We were on our last song, because as it turns out, people actually wanted a turn now.
"All the small things!" I sang before putting the mic next to the boy's mouth.
"True care, truth brings." He finished.
"I'll take one lift, your ride, best trip!" I sang.
"Say it ain't so, I will not go. Turn the lights off, carry me home!" We sang together.
After the song ended I passed the mic on to the next people and the guy next to the pinball machine asked my name.
"Trisha." I said brightly.
"Embry."
"Cool name." I replied back.
I had no clue as to where Bella had disappeared to and I didn't care. Embry was pretty good looking, but something about him seemed familiar, I just couldn't place it. I stretched up on my tippy toes to run my fingers through his long wavy hair.
"Man how tall are you?" I asked still on my tippy toes.
"Tall enough, shrimp." He laughed.
"Hey I'll still kick your ass!" I warned.
He laughed again and tilted his head back so I really had to reach.
"I wanna braid your hair." I said losing my balance a bit.
Embry steadied me by placing his hand on the small of my back.
"Hey Em, who's this?" asked a voice.
Embry dropped his arm down as I turned around to face who was talking when my smile dropped completely. Now I know why Embry seemed so damn familiar, he was friends with Jake. What, was every Native American friends with Jake and a wolf too? I stiffened the slightest bit as Embry threw his arm over by shoulders.
"Hey guys, this is Trisha, she's an awesome entertainer."
"I bet she is." Mutter Paul.
I was about to say something when another guy I didn't recognize spoke first.
"Embry what are you doing? That's Jacob's girl."
"WHAT!" we both nearly shouted.
Embry's arm dropped away from me.
"I thought – you mean? I didn't know." Embry stammered.
"YES. This is the one he told our secret to." The boy said.
Them and this secret was getting annoying. Okay yes it was a big deal, and yes I was an outsider. But couldn't they trust their own friend's judgement?
"Jared, I had no idea."
"Look at you getting all close" Jared said looking at me.
"What was that about what did you look like to me?" Paul sneered.
"Hey you better watch what you say to me." I all but growled back.
Then Seth came and stepped between us.
"Cut the shit Paul." Leah muttered.
"Trisha what's going on?" Bella's voice came as she made her way through.
Somehow I had managed to just about get on the wrong side of almost every wolf except for Jacob, Seth, and maybe Embry.
"Trisha what's going on?" Bella asked again, taking in the hostile atmosphere that had seemed to develop.
"Yes Trisha, do tell how Jake imprinted on you and you're down here all over his friend."
"What?" gasped Bella.
"First off, I don't even know what IMPRINTING is, second I'm NOT Jacob's girl, and Paul if you imply one more thing about me I will see to it, that I rip your tongue out and shove it down your throat."
Then the one named Jared whistled. "That's a nasty mouth you got there. Paul was right."
"Bite me."
"I think it's time we go." Bella said grabbing my arm.
"Hey." I stuttered as she pulled me along and out the door.
"What was that about?" she asked worried.
"I have no idea." I said just as worried and confused.
What the hell did I really do anyway?
Bella took be back to the Cullen's where Alice had been waiting for me so she could play human dress up with me. I didn't even bother to think of a way out of it. I tried telling her I couldn't walk in five inch heels to save my life but she insisted. Besides, I was distracted. I really wanted to know what this imprinting business was.
"Bella?" I asked as we walked into the house.
"Hm?" She replied as Edward took her by the waist.
I sat down on the floor next to the coffee table.
"What exactly does imprint mean?" I ask.
I heard Alice giggle and she made her way into the room followed by Emmett who had a huge shit eating grin on his face.
"So Jake finally did it then, huh?" Emmett asked.
"Did what?"
"Guys shut up! She doesn't know what it means!" Bella hissed.
"Well what does it mean?" I asked seriously feeling out of the loop.
"Um, I don't know if I should be the one to tell you this. Why don't you ask Jake?"
"Is it that bad? Tell me what is it?"
I saw the smallest hint of a smirk play on Edward's lips as if this were all amusing to him.
"Nevermind." I sighed. "I'll drop it for now, I'm tired. Alice I'll try on shoes tomorrow I promise."
"Fine, fine." Alice whined.
Despite Bella driving like an old woman, we made it back home to Jake's house in no time.
I waved as Bella drove off then made my way up the ramp to the door. It was about time I got my own key, I believed.
"Jake open up, I'm back." I called through the door.
There was no answer.
"Jake, it's me Trisha. Are you decent? Lemme in!" I said stomping my foot.
"Please Jake? I'm sorry for whatever it is I did." I called thinkning maybe he'd talked to his friends.
"I'll make it up to you, I promise. Whatever you want, I'll even stop bugging you during –
I was cut off as the door cracked open.
I sighed in relief.
"'Bout time Jake." I sighed as the door opened wider.
It wasn't Jake who answered the door. It was some old man in a wheelchair . . . it was Jake's dad!
