Celebrations
I was at Jake's house, with Jake watching Saw. I didn't even know which one. I was too caught up in what happened not only two hours ago. It just didn't make any sense to me; how could Leah meet some stranger in McDonalds, and then after ten minutes start making out with him like he was the love of her life? It just wasn't like Leah to do that.
She of all people considered love, well to be honest she didn't even think about it. She always used to tell me how she will never meet the right guy, and that it's hopeless for her. I never really got why she always said that since it's not exactly difficult to walk out on the street and just start meeting some guys that pass you by. I mean sure that was a random way to meet someone, but it was still doing something! But no, obviously it was easier to just wait in a restaurant until some waiter comes along, and then just make out with him to make your life ok. I mean really, in what world does she think she lives in?
So the wonderful waiter, that by the way was named Ben which is short for Benjamin Samuel Ferber. Seth, Jake and I nearly had a fit when we heard his full name, and the way Ben said it, but Leah obviously glared at us in the way that made it obvious that she will hurt us if we laughed. So we kept quite. I can't say the guy was bad, or horrible he was actually pretty cool. He was twenty five, just about finishing university. He owned his own apartment that was located in Seattle, and he also had two part jobs. And also after his shift ended, and after he took off his ugly uniform, well we could actually see him. I could say he could pass for one of the guys, as he was tanned, muscular and defiantly hot. He had brown eyes, and straight brown hair that reached his collarbones. It laid around his face in just the right way, showing off his every angle.
I sighed again. Jake looked towards me with a worried face. Great, Jake is getting worried. That just makes my life better by so much! But to be serious, Jake, well when Jake gets worried, especially about me, he starts going insane; and I mean Emmett and Seth type of insane.
"Ness, you haven't even watched half the movie and it's been on for about thirty minutes. Would you drop what happened in the restaurant? I've told you it's nothing big. The Guys and I are just happy to finally see that Leah has fallen in love. I mean it. If she told you all of her past, you should understand why we are so happy. And if she didn't then she isn't ready so don't even think about pressuring her into saying anything!" He paused the movie, while looking at me smiling. Yes she did tell me what happened with Sam, and how he dumped her after promising to be with her forever. But I guess it didn't make her feel any better when she found out he dumped her for her cousin, Emily. Leah was extremely upset, and never really considered guys after that. But luckily the hot waiter came along; what a joy!
But I can't say that I'm not happy for her because I defiantly am. I can't describe how happy I really am actually! Because she is one of my closest friends, and I knew all along she was sick and tired staring at all the running couples that were beginning to form on the rez. And I knew she needed someone. But I still find it insanely weird that she would pick some random guy... still didn't sound like Leah.
"I know everything. All I'm saying is that she should have at least got to know the guy, rather than just rush into making out with him. Especially if we are considering Leah, she isn't the type to make rash decisions. It just doesn't make any sense to me; that's all. But I would never say that to her so you better keep your thoughts to yourself on this one!" I was upset, but I knew I couldn't tell her otherwise she wouldn't appreciate it, and I've spend enough time away from my sister, and I couldn't do it again.
"Well I can tell you one thing about true love, and that is that it's much unexpected. You can't really tell when your actual other half will appear out of the blue. That's why you kind of need to be ready for it... If you know what I mean." I looked at him as he tried to explain it me. I didn't know what it was, but something wasn't right. Jake has changed, and it was getting more and more noticeable.
"Right, so basically what you're trying to say is that you need to be ready to meet new people? And consider them no matter who they are?" I was getting confused, and my head was beginning to spin. He looked at me, with a thoughtful face.
"I guess. By the way Nessie, what time do you have to be home? I don't want your dad to give me another death threat, I already have way too many of those." He chuckled as he got up. Hmm... Esme said that tomorrow we will have the dinner thing, but no one said anything about curfew which means...
"Jake, I know you will be over the moon over this, but please don't freak out; they didn't tell me when I have to come home..." I said, but I couldn't get another word out of my mouth, before he grabbed me into a tight hug. When he let me go, he had a huge smile on his face; this could only mean one thing...
"Jake for the first time in my life, I actually want you to invite everyone over! And don't look at me like that! I want to see my girlfriends, and Embry and well Collin and Brady and everyone!" I was excited. Every time my parents don't set a time for me, we invite all the guys over and have a party. Those parties get really crazy, which is why I don't usually look forward to them which is normal; because some of the other girls don't look forward to them either. The guys act like such pigs...
"Wow Nessie, this will be the date we will celebrate every year, that you actually wanted to have a party!" he chuckled as he headed towards the phone. I gulped loudly and he noticed. He chuckled again as he dialed the phone.
"Not so confident now, Nessie." He was talking to Embry now. Well you can't really blame me, from getting this from my mother. But then again, I'm not exactly like her, since not all parties are bad, I must admit. Some are actually quite good.
I went over to the fridge, to get a drink. But when I opened the fridge I found myself staring at the empty ketchup bottle that stood in the middle of the vacant fridge. Talk about empty. We would either have to go buy some food, or we would need to go out to the beach instead. I let out a laugh imagining Jake and I shopping for food. We would need a lot of it, to feed both packs, and the girls.
"Jake, your food supply has kind of run out. I think you should suggest that we go to the beach, unless you want to go shopping for hours." He looked at me, still on the phone. Walking over to me and the fridge, he was sounding upset. I wonder if he was hungry. He looked inside the fridge, and then straight away I heard him say into the phone "We are meeting at the beach." At that I couldn't help but laugh, because the face he made was just priceless.
"Ok, so far everyone can make it. Now I just need to call Quill, and then Paul. I can't believe he is my brother in law. I hate him! He is such a pig, and so annoying!" I laughed again, and he looked at me; I couldn't help myself.
"Jake I think it's a bit late for the hating. He and your sister have been married for over two years now. Why didn't you mention it when they were going out?" I said as he sat down on the couch, I came to sit beside him.
"Well I don't know, didn't want to hurt her? She would need to choose between us, and I don't want her to do it." He was so sweet sometimes, but now he wasn't making sense. He dialed the number and started talking again, so I couldn't replay to him.
Somehow, the twenty minutes of calling people flew by like two seconds, and I suddenly found myself on the beach with Jake waiting for everyone to arrive.
First were Quill and Claire. We said our hello's and before we could even start talking everyone arrived. I was beginning to hate myself for agreeing to this, but I realized that it's a bit late for that.
We all started talking, but then Paul caught our attention. Everyone turned to him and Rachel. I looked over at Jake, who was fuming; I was guessing that he was annoyed that his brother in law had the right to talk or something like that.
"Everyone, we have big news for you!" Paul shouted, and suddenly everyone went quite. I gulped knowing exactly what this big news could be. Because every time a couple in the reservation had big news it usually meant...
"I'm pregnant!" I was guessing Rachel couldn't hold her excitement in, because it was obvious that no one was ready to hear that. Everyone stared with their mouth open, except from Jake who was... Smiling? Ok, how is this even possible? Jake HATES Paul, but he's happy his sister is pregnant; from Paul? What's wrong with him? Did he drink too much? But then again he is a werewolf, he would need to drink a lot to get drunk, and well I haven't even noticed him drink a bottle.
"Rachel! Sis' congrats'! Man, I'm happy for you!" Jake, said as he came up to hug her, and then came to Paul and told his congratulations to him too, and then started talking to them about when they found it out and all the details about the baby. So after the awkward ten minutes passed more and more came up to Rachel and Paul to congratulate them. But before I could come up to them, Kim suddenly started screaming for attention. Fabulous; Kim was pregnant too! I thought we were best friends; why didn't she tell me and the girls about the night?
"Well ok, Kimmy and I are getting married!" Jared screamed as he took Kim in his arms. I sighed a deep sigh. I was getting worried there, I mean Kim was so not ready to be a mother; she was still too worried about her nails and clothes to care about babies. But then I realized that she was getting married! Lucky girl!
"Congratulations! Ohh Kim I'm so happy for you!" I came up to hug her. She smiled so widely I was sure that it was hurting her. I knew she was waiting for Jared to ask for a long time now. I saw Claire and Annabelle coming over. They were looking happy to see me, because they ran very fast towards us to bring me down to the floor with a shower of hugs.
"Oh, Ness we have missed you so much! You have absolutely no idea." Claire said, and before I knew it Kim joined in with the group hug. We were screaming and talking so much we haven't realized that the guys were standing next to us, talking about how girly we were. Good thing I had such wonderful hearing, to hear their whispering voices over the shouting.
"Such girls. They haven't seen each other in, what five days, and straight away it's the end of the world." Jake said to Quil, who looked at Claire. I was sure he was debating with himself about something very similar to what Jared was thinking about not only a week ago. Boys are such... boys.
I stood up suddenly when I saw Leah with Ben coming over to us. She looked very happy and you could see it in her eyes. At that moment I felt warm steady breathing on my hair and a hand on my shoulder. I instantly felt better when I realized who was standing behind me.
"I think we should just forget about last night Ness, don't you think so? And as for Leah, well you will find about that when you're ready. Don't pressure her into telling you, because it should be told by me and because I won't give in that simply and will know when the right time is." He put his hands on my waist, hugging me closely to his warm body. Wow, I never thought I would miss him so much; but I did. I turned towards him, his brown eyes shining as always, and his warm smile beaming too. Oh Jake was such a good friend to me.
"Ok, but promise me one thing; no other secrets." I sounded upset, and I could feel it. I guess me parting from Jake, even for a short amount of time, made a wound which wasn't big, but was defiantly painful.
He looked at me once, before smiling widely.
"OK, now go over to Leah, I'm pretty sure you want to hear all the latest gossip." He laughed as he said that, bringing back why I stood up in the first place. I looked at him disapprovingly, before smiling.
"If you haven't forgotten, the time where you and Quil haven't see each other for five hours. You hugged and cried for like the rest of that day. That is a whole lot worse than five days. Say thanks that I didn't show that to dad and the rest of my wonderful family, as I'm pretty sure that Emmett and Jasper would never let you live it down." I said in a hushed tone before turning and walking away with a smile on my face. I could feel him standing there, tensed. He disserved it; I mean I didn't make stupid comments of him, when he and Quil stood there crying like a bunch of babies.
"Ok, ok I'm sorry! Please say you won't think that around your dad! With all the reasons that he has for hating me, I'm pretty sure Emmett and Jasper would be the first to find out about that incident." That's my Jakey. I turned around and hugged him. He smiled at me.
"Sure, sure. Now if you will excuse me, I would like to find out about Leah and her boyfriend, and my best friend and her Fiancé." He laughed as I blew him a kiss and walked away to were all the girls were standing. I had a feeling that the next month or two will be extremely crazy considering we have a wedding and a couple of parties to attend to. And knowing my aunt, she would the one to organize all of them. What I joy! But for the first time in what seems like forever, I actually wanted to have all these parties. How very strange!
A/N I hope you enjoyed that, I'll try to update in the next week but I'm not making any promisses, anyway your updates are very welcome so... update!
