I'm SO SO SO sorry. I totally forgot to update this weekend! I hope you're not mad at me...
Anyway, today I wrote this chapter right when I got out of school. I hope you enjoy it, though it's not one of my best..

"Jake! Wow, didn't expect to see you here.." The boy said.
"Yeah, I know Seth.. How've you been?"
"Pretty good actually. But you'll never believe it: Sam left Leah!"
Apparently, this was pretty shocking news to Jacob. Edward and I, however, didn't even know who those people were. We traded looks, I could see he felt the same way as I do. We were kind of… not knowing.
"Nah, really? Leah and Sam? They broke up?"
"Yeah man. Sam met this other girl, Emily. Now he's totally in love with her or something. Leah's heartbroken. She already told the whole family her and Sam were getting married and stuff."
"Wow, I guess I never expected them to break up. But I never really thought they were right for each other. Emily and Sam are?"
"I don't know Jake. Maybe you should go check out the whole gang soon. We haven't seen you in a while."
"I will." Jake said.
Okay, I know they had to catch up, but I was really hungry. It felt like Edward could read my mind, because just when I thought of this, he went like:
"Hey man, if you want to talk to each other, fine by me. But we'd like to order."
Normally I would find this very rude. But right now, I didn't care. I needed food. The three of us gave our orders and the boy, I think his name was Seth, left.
"I'm sorry about that. He's an old friend of mine, from before I left this place. I haven't seen any of my old friends lately.."
"Oh really that's all right." I said, but I could see Edward didn't agree on that. The waiter brought our food, gave Jacob a nod and went back to work.
"Excuse me." I said and walked to the toilet. I was in need of a hair-and-make-up-check.

I watched as she walked away, gorgeous as ever.
"So Jacob, tell me, what's the deal with you? Why don't you have a girlfriend? Or do you have a girlfriend, but she doesn't mind it if you're totally flirting with other girls?"
"Eh, not that it's any of your business, but I don't have a girlfriend. I just haven't met someone as interesting as the person I just met."
"Well, I'm flattered, but I'm not really into-"
Jacob rolled his eyes at my stupid joke.
"Not you. Bella."
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said with a sarcastic voice. "You like Bella? I didn't know."
"Sure. That's why you went to have lunch with us. Dude, I'm sorry if YOU didn't know how lucky you'd be to have Bella.. But I do know. And I'd appreciate it if you'd back off."
Yeah right. Was he serious? Me? Backing off? Didn't think so.
"Look, I do know how lucky I'd be if Bella was mine. That's why I'm not backing off. If you want to have this fight, fine by me. I know who's going to be the winner and it's not you. And if you think you can't handle this, then go."
Jacob snickered. I suppose he was up to this fight.
"Fine! You want to do this? You really want to battle me over a girl?"
"She's not just a girl. She's Bella. And I think you should be the one who's afraid, not me. I know Bella and I are meant for each other. I've known her since we were little kids. You just met her."
"But at least I see how wonderful she is right away. It must've taken you some years."
"I knew it right away, too." I said, knowing this was true, but also knowing that I made some stupid mistake. But I wasn't going to tell that to him. Maybe he'd learn from my mistake, that's not what I was going for.
"And you're still not together? Maybe you should get the hint, dude." I was about to say something not very appropriate back, but just then I saw Bella walking back. A tiny smile appeared on her face. Oh, the battle begun. May I be the winner.
I tried to give her my best smile. "Hey Bella."

Coming back from the toilet and seeing Jacob and Edward was like a dream. Jacob turned around, giving me a nod and he winked at me. I could feel myself blushing a little.
Edward sat there, giving me his dazzling smile I could never resist. He looked so beautiful. I smiled back at him and Jacob and sat down.
"So what were you two talking about when I was gone?"
Edward said 'Music' at the same time Jacob said 'Sports'.
"Well, first we talked about our music and after that we discussed sports." Edward said calmly. Jacob nodded.
"Yeah, what he said." I had to laugh a little at that. When Edward said it, I could've believed it, but when Jacob said that I didn't believe it anymore. But I let it go anyway, it probably was something I didn't even want to know, anyway.
I had my hands resting on my leg and I could've sworn Edward brushed his hand lightly against mine. But this went against all logic, so I decided I imagined it. But it was harder to imagine Jacob's look as he watched me. There was something in his eyes that made me panic. I quickly turned my eyes away, not thinking of what I'd see if I'd look the other way. Which was Edward. Edward sort of gave me the same look as Jacob did. I wanted to leave this place. I wanted to get out.
"So are you two done with your lunch?" I asked.
"Yeah." Edward said, Jacob agreed.
"Then should we go back to the Cullen's? Maybe Alice has plans for me and her, or something? And I don't want to disappoint her."
They both agreed with me and fought over who should pay the check. I offered to pay for my share, but they didn't even listen to me. Finally, they decided they'd both pay the half, though they both weren't happy with it."
"You know, I could've paid for my own lunch." I said.
"No way. This is my treat." Jacob said. Edward coughed. "Well okay, our treat." Jake added, Edward seemed pleased.
We got back to the car and Edward insisted I'd sit in the front again, Jacob shrugged, pretending to be okay with it. But I could see he'd rather have it a different way.
Nobody said a word when we were in the car. I didn't like the silence, I hated those. This lunch had been such a disaster. I never wanted to hang out with both Jacob and Edward at the same time again. It was so uncomfortable.
We walked back in the house. Alice just came downstairs, wearing just a robe. She had a shocked expression on her face, like she got caught. I didn't even want to know.
She looked at me with a certain look.
"Bella! Jacob, Edward. You're back. Did you go to lunch?" We all nodded. "The three of you?" We nodded again.
And then she looked at me. She looked like there was something important she knew. Something she wasn't going to tell me.
Okay, I know it's not a good chapter.. But I'll make the next a little more... Juicyer. Mwuahaha. Well at least, I'll try. Don't forget.. They're still in the same house.. That creates a lot of opportunities for awkwardness. Haha.
Please tell me what you think.. Comment.
Xx me.
