Well sorry this took awhile again, first week of school, hectic. But its here now, and sort of short. Review are always appreciated, but I'm not one of those people who need reviews to write or like beg for them before i post another chapter. Because personally I don't always want to give reviews even if i read the story.
In other news...I hope you guys heard about SM not writing Midnight Sun anymore because 12 chapters leaked, which I find sort of ridiculous. Its not our fault that someone she trusted posted it on the internet. Oh well , if she feels she cannot do it, its her life and her book. And I can't really say anything bad about her b/c I'm using her characters... Anyway read my story and enjoy!
Chapter 10
I went home and walked to the woods, I took off my disgusting clothes and ran into the rain shuddered and transformed. While I was a wolf I just ran knowing exactly where I was going but not really caring how I got there.
I know the others would be reading into my thoughts right now, but I decided they all practically know, they just don't know how broken up I am right now. They won't talk to me, they will back off until I'm ready. Just like it was the last time I had lost someone I love to someone else.
I raced through the trees and the hills until it got steeper and steeper, I turned east when I hit the right point and went to a cliff that was cleared with no trees and overlooked the water. I had been coming here a lot, and even though the pack knew where it was, I sort of made it my spot. There were no "human" trails coming up here. I just needed to think. I transformed into human form and just sat there.
I mean the way we kissed was amazing, the two best I have ever had. It had so much feeling in it, so she had to have felt it there too. I guess I understand though, she doesn't know the reason for the connection like I do, she doesn't even know about me being a werewolf. That's when it clicked. My last shred of hope, would be to tell her about it. Everything.
I jumped up and transformed back into "wolf mode" and ran to my house. Brainstorming of ways I could possibly tell her that I'm a freaking werewolf.
"Just tell her Jacob. If she needs proof, then show her. She may be shocked at first, but just give it time. She will come around." Sam's voice rang in my head. He was so sure of himself, and made it sound so easy. Yet I really didn't know if it was going to be.
I got home and went into the house. Put on fresh clothes, even though there wasn't much to choose from I was used to this fact by now. I picked up the phone, and then realized I didn't have Angela's number. Even though she probably would not take my calls, I had to try. I dialed Bella's number and waited till I heard her answer.
"Hello?" Bella's soft voice rang into the receiver.
"Hey Bells it's me, you think I could get Angela's number?" I asked hoping maybe she just wouldn't ask for the reason, she might already know it.
"Um sure Jake, you sound sort of upset though, what happened with you guys?"
"A lot, I need to explain stuff to her…everything. I need her to understand Bella." My voice must have sounded urgent, because she gave me the number, no further questions asked. I took a deep breath and dialed the number. The four longest rings of my life went by until a shy voice answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Um hey…it's me…I mean um its Jacob" I stuttered so much it was bothering me.
"Jacob you know I think we really shouldn't be talking….after all that happened." She sounded sad. It tore me up that I was doing this to her.
"Look I know. I know that you don't wanna talk to me right now. But do you think that I could come by right now, and just explain one thing to you. I promise it won't take too long. And after, you know if you're not happy with it, or don't understand a little bit more, I won't bother you again." I waited for her to respond.
"Okay you can come now, but my dad's home, so I mean it has to be fast."
"I'll be there in like 10 minutes. Bye." I said as I put the phone down, ran got my keys and a sweatshirt, and headed outside. I drove in record time probably breaking about 20 different laws on my way over there. Another problem I have, I drive really fast when nervous. As I pulled up in front of her house, I grabbed an umbrella. I couldn't say all this with her dad in the house, we would have to walk or something.
I got out of the car and jogged up to her front door. I couldn't believe that just a few hours earlier I had been in that front yard kissing her. Now look where I was, explaining to her that I was some sort of sick giant wolf. I knocked on the front door, and waited until a man who looked to be in his 40's answered the door. He had short brown hair with gray hairs popping up here and there.
"Hello there, you must be Jacob right? A friend of Angela's. I'm Joseph Weber" He said smiling at me and extending his hand for me to shake.
"Uh yeah" I said as I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you sir, I'm Jacob….Black." Wow I don't think I've called anyone sir in my life, I really wanted to impress this guy.
"Well would you like to step inside?" he asked.
"Actually , I was wondering if I could talk to Angela out here…It will only take a second, and I came prepared." I said as I waved my umbrella.
"Well sure, I'll get her now" He said as he turned to call her name. "It was very nice meeting you Jacob." He said as Angela stepped outside next to me. Of course the breath was sucked out of me, like every other time I see her. I wonder if that will ever go away…
"You too." Was all I managed to get out, as I gave him a friendly smile, opened the umbrella and handed it to Angela.
"I was thinking you might want to walk toward the woods?" I asked trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.
"Um sure." She said as she headed down the steps. "Don't you want the umbrella too?" she asked as I walked beside her but from about a meter away.
"Uh no I'm fine, I like the rain." I stared straight ahead, and put my hood up, not wanting to look at her directly. We made it to the woods and followed a trail a little inward. Until suddenly she broke our silence.
"You wanted to talk to me about something, so maybe you should just say it." She said, turning to me.
"Right. Well. Um…" Shit. What the hell was I supposed to start with. Ugh, got to do some quick thinking. "Look I don't know if you noticed or not, but there is this connection between us." I paused to see if she was going to say anything, she just nodded. "And I know that we don't know eachother that well and its weird, but I feel like I have known you all my life. And I think you feel the same." She nodded again. "I just wanted to try and explain to you why this is happening."
"Alright, I'm listening." She looked me directly in the eyes, and I stared back.
"I'm different, than normal people…I'm not like them, at all really. Not like Bella, or Ben, or anyone. Except for my friends in LaPush." I paused, deciding to try a different course. "Look Angela, have you ever heard of those, kinda weird old legends about the tribe before?" I asked her, hoping it was a yes.
"Sort of…but not really." She shifted uncomfortably. "Isn't it about like demons and ice people or something?"
"Well not exactly…" I said, "Not ice people, but vampires. And there are no demons but…werewolves."
"Right I sort of remember now, but I don't get what that has to do with us." She still stared at me, with no understanding at all.
"Well what if I said that those legends were true, and that there were those things, and…I happen to be one of them…" I looked at her praying that she wouldn't freak.
"What?!...Jake what are you talking about?" She asked and moved closer looking me in the eye.
"I'm sort of…a werewolf Angela." I stated softly.
"That's RIDICULOUS, no you're not." She started laughing, "that's impossible, those are just legends. What kind of joke is this?" I just stared blankly at her, that's when she stopped laughing.
"Turn around." I commanded. She turned and faced the other way, I ran into the woods behind bushes where she couldn't see me, shredded my clothes, and transformed. I ran back to where she was and whined. She turned around and jumped and screamed. She started backing away and I kept moving up to her staring at her.
"J-J-Jake?!" She asked shakily. I shook my head and whined. "Oh my Gosh…."
And here I really thought she would at least curse at me or something...apparently even this won't make the daughter of a minister curse at anything. I became frustrated without being able to talk to her, so I ran back through the woods to my clothes and came back.
"Right well, I mean if all else fails I could probably join the circus or something." I joked, hoping to get something out of her other than a shocked face. Yeah, that didn't happen. "Look I'm sorry for throwing that on you but please say something." I pleaded.
"I…um wow, I don't really don't know what to say." She mumbled. I hated not knowing what to say to her, to explain it to her. I wanted her to just understand so badly. But then again, maybe she just needed time.
"Look Angela, I know this is a lot to take in, and that it doesn't seem real," I took two steps toward her and grabbed her arms so I could look her in those gorgeous brown eyes. "You cannot tell anyone about this, not your dad, mom, or Ben."
She looked at me and nodded. "I'll walk you home." I said as I led her down the path. We walked side by side, but closer then we had on our way there. My hand grazed hers, and I immediately held hers in mine, thinking she would pull away anyway. To my surprise she didn't and we walked together to the edge of the path in view of her house.
"I really need to explain a few more things to you if you don't mind, but I think you need a little while to…digest this a little more." I said as we stopped walking. "So, I have to bring your dad's car back, which I can do tomorrow, maybe you might want to get some food or come over and I can explain everything. Like any questions you might have just ask me tomorrow, maybe that will clear things up a bit."
She nodded her head and started to walk back to her house. "How's noon?" she asked quietly.
"Perfect. See you then."I watched her walk until she was in the door, then I ran to the Rabbit got in and drove back to my house. Not really knowing if that had gone well or not.
