Hi. Just wanted to say that the Cullen's have already left and stuff but Jake turning into a wolf and everything was earlier on. Bella will be introduced soon well at least her name.
Okay thanks. (:
Chapter 10, Piper POV:
It was still dark when I woke up. Early morning, six but still dark. I was alone. Jake had left mysteriously after a howl. Those wolves sure know how to keep you up. I mean they wouldn't stop howling all damn night. So I took it upon myself to open my window, the one that faced the back yard and scream, "WOULD YOU SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP."
I think they understood human language because it stopped almost immediately.
I couldn't help smile at that thought. Aha. That had been funny. I got up and closed my blinds. When the sun showed I didn't want to see it. It bothered my eyes.
I laid back down and just starred at my door. I could hear shuffling downstairs. My door opened a few minutes later, it was Emily.
"Oh, did I wake you?" Emily wondered.
I shook my head, "No. I was already. Where's everyone?" I wondered.
"There out," she looked stuck. It was a simple question I mean what was her problem.
"Oh."
It was awkward. It was always that way when it was just me around Emily with no one else. I never knew what to say to her. I mean I had a lot I wanted to say but that would get my no where but grounded.
"How did you sleep?" Emily literally whispered. I barley heard her but made do.
"Alright. Those wolves kept me up for a little bit though with there howling," I told her honestly.
"You don't like wolves." It wasn't a question but a statement.
I never said that I didn't like them, I said they kept me up and were annoying me.
"No," I told her. "I like them. I don't like when they keep me up all damn night though," I regretted saying that.
I never cursed around her. She was always going language when someone did that. Sam knew I cursed. I used to do it all the time around him before he well, you know went so low you could say.
"Language Piper," Emily literally hissed.
"Sorry," I said rolling my eyes. I was glad it was night so she didn't see that. Besides what should she care what I said. It wasn't like we would ever have a decent conversation.
"Where do you want these?" Emily asked. I perked up to see her with a basket of cloths. I just smiled. Damn. Did this girl have like anything better to do than cook and clean? Didn't she have life.
"By my closet is fine," I told her.
Emily smiled and bringing the basket to my closet, "Oh this Saturday I need you and Kim to stay for breakfast before I forget." Emily said.
I gave her a question look. "Why?" I wondered.
"Well the Elders of the tribe are coming over for breakfast. Just to talk about some things. It's important you and Kim are here," Emily said seriously.
Wow. Was she for real? The Elders came over like once every month and I was always shooed out of the house. Now I was being asked to stay? And Kim as well. What the hell was going on.
In all honesty I was always kind of pissed Emily got to stay and I didn't. What made her so damn special? Nothing.
"Oh alright. When are the boys coming back?" I wondered.
"You mean Jacob," Emily retorted.
I blushed but I was kind of angry. The nerve of her. Really. I didn't ask about Jake I said the boys.
Before I could speak Emily just answered again a smile still plastered on her face. "Well if things go well they should be back by eight. I'm going to start breakfast as seven, would you like to help me?"
I could tell from her eyes that she was, hopeful even though it was dark in my room. I imagined Sam being here. He would give me one of those you better looks. Would she tell Sam she offered? What if I said no.
"Sure why not, seven right?" I made sure.
"Yep. Seven. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me. See you then."
I just smiled as she walked off. Once my door was closed I plopped back down in bed. I rolled over turning on my in table light. Jumping out of bed, literally I hurried to put my cloths away. Emily had cleaned my cheerleading stuff which I just put in my cheerleading bag that was in the corner of my room on the floor.
Once I was finished I decided to get ready for the day early. That wouldn't hurt. I slowly walked into my bathroom. Why was this week passing by so damn fast. I mean I didn't have plans tomorrow so maybe it would go fast.
Crap. I was hanging out with Jake tomorrow. I was excited for that. I mean I wondered what we would do.
I took a good fifteen minute shower. I just wet my hair, I didn't wash it. No need it was still good. I loved the way my hair sat when it was wet. Perfect. I wrapped myself up in a towel and did the same for my hair. I did my essentials which included brushing my teeth and washing my face.
When I got into my room I put on bra and pair of underwear. I went to my dresser and grabbed a tank top and then went to my closet. I found one of my favorite shirts. I had been looking for it. It was short sleeve, white and had blue flowers. I put it on and then grabbed my blue skinny jeans. The blue matched the same as my shirt. I put on my pure white Nike's after.
I smiled in the mirror. Applied mascara, a lot. I left the eye liner alone for today. The mascara was enough. Crap. I would have to get more, was running out. I hoped I had a extra one in my bathroom.
This one was only going to be good for use for about one more day, well that was if I used as much as I did today.
I had to blink a few times waiting for the mascara to dry. I had little smudges under my eyes which I wiped away quickly. Perfect.
Making my bed only took around two minutes then I was done. I grabbed my phone putting it in my front pocket and heading downstairs.
Emily was down there as she said. She had her back turned to me and was looking through some cabinets trying to reach something. I looked and saw what she was trying to get. Chocolate chips.
Damn. How many packs of those did she buy? Whenever she went shopping for food she bought a lot so I shouldn't be surprised she bought that much for one things. Then again it was the boys.
I walked over and grabbed a few packs for her, four I think it was. "How many more do you need?" I asked her.
"Six more should be fun, thanks Piper." Emily said smiling. I nodded and grabbed six more.
"Your down early," Emily noted.
"Yeah. The earlier the better right. Besides if they come home early and they don't get food I'll get a headache. I mean they're all insane when it comes to food."
Emily laughed and I cracked a smile. Emily retreated to the fridge and pulled out four packs of eggs. Really? That's how much she made in the morning. I always thought it was just two or something.
"Would you like to start on the eggs?" Emily asked.
I just nodded and she set the eggs down on the counter next to a large bowl and a fork. "You want me to use all of them?" I wondered.
"Yep," Emily said popping the P.
I don't think I ever heard her talk like that. Wow, that just showed how much we didn't hang out. I felt kind of bad then.
I mean Leah didn't make me choose a side she loved me unconditionally whether Sam was with Emily or not. I chose not to have a one on one relationship with her. It was wrong probably, she never did anything to me but still I didn't approve.
The whole situation made me want to throw up.
It was silent as Emily and I made breakfast. I kept thinking about the choices in my life I was making and how they would affect me. Mostly, Jacob Black.
I mean it was weird. We were already making out and for all I knew he could have a girlfriend. Oh my god what if he did? I was dirty. I hoped not.
"Piper are you alright? You looked troubled," Emily commented.
She had just set down a four batch's of muffins in the oven. Chocolate chip she was working on blueberry now. Yum.
"Just thinking about if Jake has a girlfriend," I blurted out. Damn. What was wrong with me?
"He doesn't. He really likes you Piper. I think you should give him a change," Emily spoke softly.
I just cracked a smile -forced smile- and nodded.
We continued to cook in silence then.
By the time the boys got back we were all done. We had been for about ten minutes. Everything was set on the table. The boys looked grateful. Paul ran over and sniffed. He grinned then and plopped down in a chair grabbing food onto his plate.
Everyone laughed at him. Wow. That was so Paul. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey Piper," Jake whispered in my ear wrapping his arms around me from behind.
Was he crazy? My brother was right here, no doubt he was watching. Paul, Jared and Embry could see my face. They tried not to laugh. I glared at them all. I couldn't like I was enjoying Jake and the closeness. I mean wouldn't you?
I turned around and smiled, "Hi Jake." I got out of his arms then. He looked hurt but I just rolled my eyes and sat down across from Paul getting something to eat. Jake sat next to me.
I was picky grabbing my food there was so much. How would it be on Saturday?
Saturday. Breakfast. The Elders. I really didn't want to go. I hadn't even told Kim yet. I knew she sure as hell wouldn't want to do it. Great. I'd tell her at last minute so she couldn't get out of it. It would be quick and easy.
"How was your morning?" Jake asked.
"Fine I guess," I told him truthfully.
"And how did you sleep?" He wondered.
I rolled my eyes and bit into a piece of my bacon. "It could've been better."
"Why do you say that?" Jake wondered. Everyone was listening. Nosy people. The only conversation here that wasn't with me and Jake worth listening to was Jared and Kim.
"Those dang wolves wouldn't shut up last night."
"Aye, they can't help it." Paul defended.
Paul was defending the wolves? That wasn't something I ever expected.
"Obviously they understood me when I told them to shut up," I spoke.
"That was you?" Jared asked smirking.
How did he hear me? He wasn't even here or anywhere around the house. So I thought.
I nodded. There was some laughter, a growl which I was sure came from Paul. I ignored it all though finishing my breakfast. I did however notice Jake just starring at my face every now and then.
What was it with him? He was acting like he was in love with me or something which I already knew wasn't the case.
"Can I help you?" I wondered finally having enough. Jake's eyes bored into mine. Oh my. I was about to melt. Literally. Melt, on the floor.
"Your beautiful," Jake spoke.
Ugh. If it was just us to I really wouldn't have cared but now. Where everyone was here. I tried not to blush biting my lip and rolled my eyes. From the look on his face I could tell he wasn't buying it.
"Well," Emily said cutting in smiling at me. "Sam and I won't be back until late tomorrow night so don't ruin our house boys. Piper can you please make sure they don't burn down my kitchen?"
I started to laugh but when I looked at her face I could see she was dead serious. "No problem. I'll beat them with a broom if I find them trying to cook."
Paul burst out laughing while the others chuckled. "You can try sweet hart, that's if you can catch me."
"I won't need to catch you," I told Paul hoping I was looking...mischievous.
"What do you mean?" Paul wondered.
"I can be sneaky," I told him.
"Ha, I'm better at it then you are," Paul said with a grin.
"Ha. I can out sneak you any day."
"No you can't."
"We'll see about that."
Paul and I looked at one another in the eye. We both knew what the look in each others eyes meant. 'Game On.'
"No funny business in my house," Emily cut in.
Wow. She must have Sam on a leash. She's annoying. How can he deal with her. I would've been slapped her to be honest.
"Wait," Jake cut in. "What are you to going to do."
Paul spoke, "It's a challenge between us to. Who's sneakier."
"How long is it going to last?" Embry asked.
"Until Sam and Emily get back," Paul spoke.
"I don't want my house getting messed up," Emily tried to cut in. No one was paying mind to her. And for this one time probably that included Sam.
Paul ignored her, "It's a challenge then," he spoke.
I nodded. "Challenge excepted."
We shook hands. This was going to be good.
