Chapter 6
It was 6:41 when I gave up and got in my car to go to la push.
It took 20 minutes to get there.
I arrived at the same time as Jake.
"Nessie?" he sounded confused, I did vist him in la push didn't I?
"yep, that's me"
"still driving the Cayman then?" he joked, he hadn't been too impressed with my choice of car, after all I could have what ever car I liked.
"I like your hair," he noticed, though come to think of it, it would be pretty hard not to.
"thanks" I muttered.
Then I remembered the reason I'd come. But he had something to say to, I could tell by his face that I wasn't going to like it.
"look 'bout the other d-"
"Jake?" I interrupted him
"no I have to tell you-"
"but-"
"I shouldn't have said anyth-"
"Jake listen."
"no, I should have waited-"
"WAITED FOR WHAT JAKE?" I asked
"you to-"
"Jake, I love you." I shouted quickly so he couldn't interrupt
"bu-"
My lips were against his before he could say any more. His lips were warm and moulded to mine perfectly. His sweet breath filled my mouth.
I put my arms around his neck as he put his around my waist. This was where I belonged here in Jakes arms. I never wanted him to leave, not ever and I didn't want the kiss to end but both of us had to breathe.
I pulled away gasping for air. I put my head in his chest and I could hear his heart pounding and he kissed the top of my hair.
I dropped my arms and grabbed his hand and ran, carefully making sure he could keep up, towards first beach and the log where we sat.
I put my head back on his chest so I could hear his heart while we watched the sunset.
I finally felt whole, after a whole week of being empty.
I twisted my head to kiss Jake on the cheek, but before I got there he jerked his head so that I got his lips.
This time the kiss was quicker, more urgent. I moved my body so I could kiss Jake back, wrapping my legs around his waist and I put my arm round his neck again.
Then I grabbed his hair and pulled him closer determined to make this kiss last long than the last. It felt good having our lips move in unison.
I sighed and he pulled away.
"I think I should be getting back."
"what you gunna tell your dad?" Jake asked
Shoot, I totally forgot about him. I couldn't not tell him, because he would hear all about it in my dreams, but if I did tell him he'll go berserk.
"he's gunna go ballistic if he finds out,"
"I know, but we've got to tell him,"
"why?"
"because he might find out accidentally, then he'll be even more mad." I continued.
"Come on then" Jake sighed and got up pulling me with him.
I had to hold on tight to the steering wheel as I drove back home with Jake in the passenger seat. He had his arm around my seat, his hand draped over and rested on my shoulder.
When we got back we found a note on the coffee table
Gone hunting be back soon. Love you. Dad
We sat down to wait. I must have looked nervous because Jake leaned over to whisper "don't worry, if anything happens you can run." he laughed "it's not as if any of them would catch you."
"yeah, but they would catch you," I was deadly serious.
"oh, stop fussing it's not the first time I've had to fight with your dad."
"remind of the score so far then,"
"Oi," he murmured. He cupped my face in his warm hands and kissed my nose.
I pulled my face up and kissed him back. As soon as our lips met they was only him, nothing else mattered.
Then our lips broke and Jake flew across the room and hit the wall.
Daddy had jumped over me and was crouched between me and Jake with his teeth bared, ready to pounce.
"NO!!" I screamed, but it was too late he'd already jumped.
He hit Jake with full force and they went crashing into the wall.
A tear rolled down my cheek and I slide off the sofa onto my knees.
Dad got up and walk toward me when he was close enough, he reach out to catch my tear but I flinched away from his touch.
"Edward? What have you done?" mum asked I realised she must have seen most of what had just happened
"mum!" I ran over to her and was embraced in her arm in a second.
"Nessie?" he asked, mum must have put her shield up.
"you. Killed. Him" I whispered.
He shook his head.
"BUT YOU BIT HIM, HE'S A WERE-WOLF HE CAN'T CHANGE IT KILLED HIM, I HATE YOU!"
"Nessie, I wouldn't, never. I'm so sorry"
I ran over to Jake to check he wasn't lying, I couldn't trust my father anymore.
I was relived when I heard jakes soft breathing. It meant he was still alive.
