Chapter 10
I was walking down to the streets to school, wearing blue jeans and a grey loose shirt with "I'm cool" printed on it, and a brown jacket on the top and my black converse. You know nowadays I'm really not in the mood to get all dressed up, I would simply walked out of the house in my sweat pants and large sized shirt, it felt really comfortable. My car is still in Jacob's garage, well it's been hardly a day, and I didn't expect him to fix my car this soon.
I was walking down the same road, where it all happened yesterday, but I was not afraid and for bonus Embry was walking with me and my dad was more than glad that he was with me, because he didn't want me to go out alone. Last night after I passed out, a pain shot through my body, it was exactly the same as the one which occurred on my way to beach. I screamed in pain, and my dad was sitting beside absolutely helpless.
And about my godfather, well, all of these years of my life, I didn't even know that I have a godfather! Well, whoever my godfather is is going to get a piece of my mind from me.
"What are you thinking about?" Embry asked.
"Um... Nothing." I lied; I haven't told anyone about what happened yesterday. Paul and Joe came to pay a visit; of course my dad can't keep that little mouth of his shut! Paul was looking at me with guilt filled in his eyes, and I was confused. It was like he knew what happened to me, but that was absolutely impossible.
"Yoo-hoo." Embry said waving his hand in front of my face.
"Oh, sorry." I said.
"You space out a lot." He said smiling.
"No, I did not. I just think a lot." I said defensively.
"Well, that is called 'space outing." He said laughing at me. I poked his arm.
"Ow, that hurts." He said rubbing his arm.
"Oh yeah, like a small, vulnerable, weak girl like can hurt a big, buff, with so many muscle man like you." I said in a chirpy voice. He just laughed and out his arm around my shoulders. I didn't feel uncomfortable; he was like a brother to me.
"Here's my girl." Paul came from behind me put in a big bear hug. I'm used to get hug like this, because Dean and Edgar use to give me all the time. Oh, I miss my brothers. My mood was about to drop down but right then Quil came.
"Hey, Ellie how is your head?" Quil said hugging me. No wonder, Paul can't keep his mouth shut.
"It still hurts, but I'm fine." I said smiling at him.
"Hi Seth!" I said giving him a hug and kissing his cheeks.
"What no kisses for me?" Paul asked wiggling his eyebrows. Pervert.
"Nope, because you are not as cute as him." I replied.
"That is so true." Jared said coming towards me and we both give each other high-five. It still wonders me that it has not been a week and I'm this close to all of them. Just then Jacob came; he was wearing blue jeans and an olive colored shirt. And may I just say he was looking breathtakingly beautiful. All the guys were almost same in appearance yet there was something different about him. Every time I saw him my heart beat started to increase.
Why was I looking for him? Oh yeah, I have to apologize. All the boys looked at me then at Jacob and then leave making lame excuses like "I gotta pee", "I have to take something from my locker", "and I have to feed my dog". Feed my dog? Seriously, I have no clue whether Quil owns a dog and other no-sense-making-excuses. I didn't pay much attention to them. I ran after Jacob, there was no one to be seen except him and me because the bell was about to ring.
"Hey Black!" I said and he turned around I stopped abruptly in my tracks because I was about to hit my nose on his chest.
"What?" he said looking at me with an annoyed expression. Someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed! But you have to calm Elena because you are the one to apologize here.
"Look, I'm really sorry about what my dad said yesterday. I-"before I could complete my sentence he cut me off.
"I don't want your apology, and I don't give a damn about what your father said." He said or more of shouted at me. That did it. How dare he talk to me like that?
"Hey, listen to me." I said snapping my fingers at his chest. "I'm oh-so-not interested in apologizing to you. But unlike you I have manners okay."
"Sure sure." He said. Something was bothering him and he was shouting at me for it. But I'm so not letting this happen.
"You know what Black-." I said but stopped, there was something more important I want to know. "How did you know I was in the forest?" I asked him and he got nervous.
"I- um- I saw your backpack on the road, while I was going home from school, so I walked in the forest and um- found you there… so ..um I take you back home." He said looking anywhere but at me.
There was no way that he was telling the truth. He was completely lying and I know this just by the way he was stuttering.
"Don't lie." I said in a monotone.
"I'm not lying ok?" he said looking at me.
"Oh really?" I said in a bitchy voice. "You were not even in school by the end of the day and you are saying that you were walking back home? You said that you found my bag on the ground. So please kindly tell me how you know whether to go left or right because I'm positive that there was no footprints. And thirdly I know you are lying because it is written all over your face!" I shouted at him. And he stood there completely dumbfounded but recovered himself quickly.
He walks forward towards me and keep walking till my back was against the wall. I was too shocked to say anything.
"You know, you should not stress your little brain over their too much." He said pointing at my head. "Because you are not as smart as you think." He said venom dropping through every word he said. My blood started to boil inside me. Just then the bell rang but none of us moved from our place.
"You don't know me black. And I will get all the answers I want." I said bravely at his face.
"You are just as I think, rich, high class, spoiled kid, who think that they can get whatever they want. But in reality you don't know what life is." He said and I pushed him off of me with all the force I can. I resisted punching him right on his face. He was quite surprised that I was able to push him with such a force.
"You know what, I have a little advice for you Black; don't judge the people by the way you look at them, because they may surprise you later on." I said and walked straight to my class without even waiting for his reply.
I entered the class after listening to the rambling of the teacher on being late and blah, blah. I said sorry and sat on the last bench. My mind was still on the previous conversation with Jacob. You are just as I think, rich, high class, spoiled kid, who think that they can get whatever they want. But in reality you don't know what life is. These words kept ringing in head again and again. I was feeling very sad. I hate it when people judge me by how much money I have. That's why I kept it low profile. But about car, I have a passion for them, so I like having expensive car.
I never told anyone how much money my whole family has; I always wear simple dresses, not fancy at all. Tears started to weld up in my eyes. He thinks that I don't know what life is? Oh please, I bet he didn't know about life more than me. Why is his word affecting me so much? But the truth is that, if it was said by someone else I would be as upset as I am now. I just don't like it. My attention was turned to the board when my teacher called my name.
"Huh?" I said completely dumbfounded.
"Answer this." Mr. Fleischer said pointing at the board with a smirk plastered on his face. He never leaves any chance to embarrass me.
"102. The answer is 102." I said. As soon as I looked at the problem the answer came floating to my mind. And Mr. Fleischer was stunned by my answer. Ha! He thought that he was going to win this time too bad. The bell rang after 2 minutes and I headed to my next class. Biology. Edward was there too of course with Bella. He gave a hug and sniffed me while hugging? Weirdo. And Bella was still glaring daggers in my direction. What the hell is her problem? We made small talk during the class. Edward me about his family and that they were all adopted by Carlisle, their father and Esme their mother. He invited me to come over his house and I said that I would when I will be free.
Soon lunch time came and I was sitting with Amber and the group. We were chit chatting about how was our day but my mood was still down because of what happened today morning.
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked turning to face me. Dan is a nice guy, very sweet and helpful but sometime he can be a total jerk.
"Yeah just a bit down." I said and he nodded. No matter how down I was, I still ate my lunch. Frankly speaking I don't care about how I look. I eat whatever I like because I'm one of those people who never get fat whatever they eat. I'm sooo lucky!
I saw Liselle getting her tray and walking to the farthest corner of the cafeteria. She looked up at me and I waved at her, she hesitated but waved her back. I was about to yell and tell her to come over here and sit with us but she was pushed to the ground by a bitchy looking girl. She was wearing extremely short skirts and a black tank top with a vest jacket and high heels. How could she wear such a less clothing in this cold weather? Yuck!
"Who is she?" I asked Amber.
"She is Makena, the miss popular of the school. She thinks that everyone revolves around that little fingers of her." She said completely disgusted.
"She thinks that she can have any boy she wants. She thinks that she and her followers and the jock of the school, Mathew, her boyfriend runs the school." Kim added. And there was no need of further explanation. I exactly knew what type of girl she was. But she was nothing compared to the girls that was in my school back in London. First I thought that she accidently bumped into Liselle. Makena bend down and I thought that she was going to help her up but she grab the bottle of sauce from the floor and spread it all over Liselle's shirt. Liselle was completely terrified and I think that she was crying.
That was it, I just cannot stand bullying. That was way too much for me to handle. I stood up way to eagerly and with much force because my chair falls back on the ground. Dan and Ares tried to stop me but failed miserably all eyes were upon me, the guys were looking with much interest so was the Cullen's.
I walked up to where Liselle was. She was still on the floor and Makena and Mathew were covering her. Makena's other friend were sitting on the nearby bench and were laughing at what was happening there.
I quickly walked to Liselle and help her get up, I was right she was crying.
"Shh... its okay I'm here." I said and she tried to wipe sauce off her shirt. I put my hands on her shoulder and slowly made our way to the bathroom. But was interrupted by Makena's high pitched voice. I turned around and took a close look at her appearance. She had Red hairs and fake tanned skin with high cheek bones and lots of makeup splattered on her face. EW! Why girl wore makeup, and if they do why do they have to put on so much makeup? I can never understand that. Her eyes were brown in color; there was something familiar about her face.
Oh no! She is that Makena? Oh god, we used to study in the same elementary school with Paul of course, and she never let a one damn chance to flirt with him. No, no, no, no, Please god doesn't let her be Paul's girlfriend who dumped her! I turn my head to look at Paul and he nodded answering my unasked question. Dammit!
"Well, well, if it isn't Elena Anderson." Makena said walking forward towards me, just stay away because now I can clearly see how much of makeup is painted on your face!
"Makena." I said showing no interest at all.
"So you do remember me huh?" she asked but I didn't say anything. "It's nice to see you again here." She said and I scoffed.
"Whatever" I said.
I put my arm and Liselle's shoulder and started walking towards the bathroom but someone grabbed Liselle's hand. Someone is definitely in the mood to get killed by me! I turned around to see none other than Mathew holding Liselle's hand, he pushed Liselle to his chest, and I could hear her soft crying. My blood started to boil, all the eyes were now in our direction, and the whole cafeteria was dead silent. Calm down. I repeated again and again in my head.
"Let her go." I said softly but sternly. He just laughed at me and put his hands on Liselle's hip and pulled her more close to his chest.
"I said .Go." I said each word menacingly.
"Who do you think you are huh?" he asked. And I pointed towards my shirt. I'm so lucky that I wore this shirt today.
"I'm cool." I said casually and could hear some of the students laugh at him. This just angers him more, good.
"What if I don't let her go." he said and kissed Liselle's cheek. Makena and her friends laughed at her. I was so not letting this happen in front of me. Liselle was freeze in her spot.
"If you don't then I will do something that you will not be able to forget your whole life!" I shouted at him. He took a few steps away from Liselle without breaking the eye contact with me. "Try me bitch." He said, how dare he call me that?
"You jerk." I said and was about to step head but was stopped immediately.
"Miss Anderson and Mr. Harrison in the principal's office right now to collect your detention slips." Mrs. Thompson, my history teacher said standing at the cafeteria door.
"But I haven't done anything wrong." I protested.
"I said right now both of you." She said again.
"Fine but I won't waste my time in detention for something I haven't done." I said and she looked at me confused. "I would do something so that at least there is a reason for you to put me in detention." I said and before she could ask what, I pulled Liselle behind me and walked up to Mathew, I raised my hand, balled it up into a fist and then punch him across the face as hard as I could, but I didn't use my whole strength because I don't want to get expelled from the only school near forks and La Push. I heard several "oohhss" and "aahhhss" and also someone's laughter. Of course the laughter was coming from Paul and Emmett.
"Mess with her, and you will be messing with me." I said seriously putting weight on each word. I could see fear in his eyes I turned around and took Liselle with me; I could see Mrs. Thompson smiling from the corner on my eyes. She was a cool teacher and really hated bullying and all so I don't think that I was in much trouble. But I was absolutely positive that my punch will leave a strong bruise on his face, I didn't use my full force, if I did then there was no way that his jaw was not broken. Someone from my friends called my name but I didn't look back.
I took Liz to bathroom, yeah I just give her a nick name, Liselle is a nice name not that I'm complaining but it is a bit mouthful. As soon as we entered in the bathroom she broke down and fell to her knees. I can't see her crying like this in front of me.
"Shh,, it's okay. I'm here now; no one will hurt you, ever." I said softly running my hand though her hairs.
"Why...did...they...always…do this.. to me?" she asked in between her sobs. "Did I do something wrong?" My heart broke at her words; she still thinks that it is her fault? I fight back my tears, I just can't control when someone is getting hurt in front of me.
"No, this is nor you fault and whatever they say never let get to your head okay?" I said and she nodded like a child. She stood up and cleans herself.
"You should go, I'm fine now." she whispered.
"Are you sure, if you want to go home, I will take you." I said and mentally slapped myself because I don't have my car.
"No, I'm fine I'll just get going to the library." She said and I nodded. I was about to exit but her soft voice stopped me.
"Elena?" she asked.
"Hmm.." I said facing her.
"Thank you." She said and hugged me tightly. "Thank you so much, no one has ever stood up for me like you did."
"Well, you better get used to this, because I'm gonna stuck with you for a long time." I said. Seriously, if they ever try to do it again, the consequences will be bad. And when I say bad, I mean really bad.
"Sorry you get detention because of Me." she apologized and I laughed at her. She looked at me confused.
"Liz you don't have to worry about me, just chill." I said and left for the principal's room. Yay! I got detention for a week. Sarcasm. The bell to next period rang already, but since I was in principal's office I could not get to my class in time. I was taking out my books for the period. Principal doesn't say much just told me to behave and this attitude will not be tolerated and bla bla bla. I don't care as long as I have not done anything wrong.
The hallway was empty there was no one but me. Just as I took a step forward from my locker a pain shot through me and this was it was in my head. Urgh! Not again. My books fell down on the floor but I didn't bother to pick them up. My eyes were blurry and I wanted support to stand up straight. I put my hand on the lockers to balance myself but was failing miserably, I was about to fall down but a pair of strong arms caught me, again.
I put my left hand on his shoulder; the other was clutching my head. There was warmth radiating from his body, and I absentmindedly drifted closer to him. I put my head in between his shoulder and neck, he has the most amazing smell, I've ever smelled, even ten thousand times better than my favorite perfume. I put my both hands on his chest, he was just so warm. After 10 seconds I decided to look up and much to my disappointment, he was none other than Jacob Black.
"Black?" I asked clearing my vision by blinking me eyes; once they got clear there was no doubt that he has Jacob. And I groaned too loudly to my liking.
"Come on, why is it that whenever I'm about to fall down you come and catch me?" I asked absolutely irritated and took a few steps away from him, I instantly missed the warmth but didn't show it.
"And why is it that whenever I'm going somewhere you decided to fall so that I can catch you?" he smirked at me and I resisted to punch his face, two times in a day.
"I didn't do that on purpose okay?" I said.
"Oh yeah, it doesn't seem like it." He said smugly. I just raised my eyebrows in answer. "It's like you like me saving you from falling every time." He said and I wanted to throw up at that moment.
"Excuse me mister." I said snapping my fingers at him. "I would jump in front of a train rather than to be saved from you." I spat at his face.
"Sure sure." He said showing no interest at all; I turned around pick up my books and walked to my class. The rest of the class was boring as hell. Soon the day ended.
"Hey dad I'm home." I said putting my bag on the sofa. Paul dropped me as my car is still in Jacob's garage.
"Hey, sweetie heard you got a detention." He said casually.
"Oh yeah, I did have detention." I said pouring myself a glass of water.
"And here I started to think that what is wrong with you, whole one week in new school and you go without detention! I was worried about you." He said dramatically. Well, me getting detention every now and then is not new at all. Yeah, but tell Dean that I got detention and I'm dead.
"You don't have to, look here I'm, and I got a detention." I said.
"So, what did you do this time?" he asked me switching on the TV.
"Punched a boy straight in the face." I said proudly and my dad heavily sighed.
"Just don't get expelled ok?" he asked.
"Don't worry about that Dad, I'll be careful." I said and went into the backyard to play with Kodo. I've got so many detentions that even I don't know how many. Usually I'm the favorite student of all teachers but me getting detention annoys them all a lot back in London. Well, teachers here have to get used to it.
Today is Saturday; it's been almost a week since that 'incident'. I've completed my detention, but the best part of it was to see the bruised face of Mathew Harrison. The time he entered the detention class, I laughed so hard that I fell of my chair. Well, that punch was worth it!
Dean called on Wednesday, and may I just say that it was the first time I wished he didn't call. My daddy dearest told him everything about that 'incident'; when I asked he said that he didn't want dean to go to jail for murdering his father. Dean was so furious and concerned at the same time. He was really worried about me, he was about to send doctors from London to here for my checkup that's when I got really mad.
It's not like I'm made of glass. I understand that he cares for me, but I can take care of myself. At the end of course he apologizes and said that "I know you can protect yourself but there are some things which even you don't know." That got me real confused. I asked him what is he talking about but he just told me that he loved more than anything in the world and of course I cried, because I just missed him badly.
I have to stop thinking about him or else I'll start crying again, I'm just very sensitive about my brothers. Edgar called too; of course my brother dearest Dean could not keep his mouth shut. You know what; if it was in their control they would have made me stay in a house, and kept me safe from any other human being. They are just so overprotective. The difference between Dean and Edgar is that, Dean got angry real fast and reacts when he is angry on the other hand Edgar first thinks and then reacts. I just have to get rid of their thoughts. I walked out of the back door into the backyard, after a few meters the forest started. Huge trees surrounded the back of our house.
Suddenly there was a movement in the bushes. Is it that red head again? She said that she would come after me. Oh joy! I moved closer to the forest the bushed moved again, I could partially see a brown fur, oh god! Is it that hybrid? I'm not afraid of that red head but I'm afraid of that hybrid because I'm drawn to him in an unexpected way. I moved forward, a lump forming in my throat. God save me! I was now exactly behind the bush. In case that hybrid kills me I want to say bye to every person I know in this world! I moved the bush out of my way, breath caught in my lungs. And I saw a
..
..
..
A rabbit. Rabbit? Oh god, I'm so stupid! I'm afraid of a rabbit! That rabbit looked at me and then took off running I groaned and the suddenly my phone started ringing in my back pocket and I jumped in surprise a scream escaping from my mouth. Kodo was out in an instant with a stern look on his face saying 'what is going on?'
"Nothing, just a little jumpy, that's all" I said and he stood there shaking his head sighing. I bet he was a human in his past life! I took out my phone. Unknown caller ID? Hmm.. Let's see who it is.
"Hello?" I said unaware of who was on the other side.
"Hey chic." Paul said. I should really save his number now.
"What do you want?" I asked plumping down on the basketball ground; I really like to lie down on weird places in the house.
"Jacob is going to pick you up in 5 minutes." He said. Why?
"What for?" I asked.
"You know, your car is in his garage?" he asked.
"Oh, really I didn't know that! Oh sorry I forgot that I was out of America when my car ditched me!" I snapped at him.
"Whoa there girl no need to shout, I was just saying that Jake didn't want to do anything in your absence because if your car got worse than you will sue him." He said. Hmm.. Well it's not that bad.
"Yeah well that's true. Fine I'll be ready." I said.
"Okay bye, love you." He said.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." I said.
"Come on at least tell me that you love me too, I know you want to say that." He said and I bet he was smirking.
"Do really want me to come over and beat you up? Because if you want, I will be more than glad to do so." I said and he hung up. Good. So, it is 3:25 and Jacob is coming up in 5 minutes.
I have now what 5 minutes to get ready. Okay, so I turn on my super Elena mode. I quickly put on my light blue tank top, black thick jacket, black skinny jeans and white converse. I just looked in the mirror; do I want to brush my hair? Nah! They are just too long, it's not like I didn't like them or cares for them, but being lazy is a part of me. I'm very proud of my hair.
Soon, someone parked in my drive way.
"Dad, I'm going." I said.
"Yeah okay." He said holding a pile of papers in front of him. "Wait, where are you going?"
"To Jacob's, to fix up my car." I said and he eyed me. "He is going to fix the car." I said and he nodded. I have noticed it many times that my dad didn't like Jacob very much, he tried not to show it but I have noticed it. I wonder why that is because he acts completely normal around Paul and others.
"Take care of Kodo." I said rubbed Kodo's fore head.
When I stepped out, Jacob was leaning against his car, his car was nice, he was wearing a blue jeans and a white colored t-shirt. Light color really suits him.
"Hey" I said but he didn't reply just went to open passenger's side door. Okay, so you may be thinking that I'm thinking that how nice is that he opened the door for me. But you are absolutely wrong! I hate it when someone opens the door for me; I mean for god's sake it is just a door! It's not like I'm trying to open the door of hell!
I scoffed and then got into his Rabbit
"You know what; just never do that again, I can open the door on my own." I said and he just shrugged.
He started the engine and the most boring ride in my whole life started. I wonder why you have to be with the person whom you don't like a bit. Destiny is one cruel bitch.
Jacob was driving at an awfully slow speed. I mean if we were in a race I bet snail would have won the race! By his looks I thought that he likes to ride at a fast pace but man, looks can deceive.
"Stop the car, right now!" I had enough. He looked at me confused but stopped the car. I opened the door and got out of the, and started to walk. Soon, I sense someone following me and it none other than Black.
"What happened?" Jacob asked me.
"What happened?" I shouted at him. "You drive worse than a turtle, no, even worse than a snail that's what happened!"
"Okay, I'll drive fast okay, come on." He said and started to drag me back to car.
"No way I'm going back." I said crossing my arms over my chest." I huffed. Next thing that happened scared the hell out of me. Jacob picked me up bridal style and started to walk towards the car.
"Put me down now, you filthy man!" I shouted at him, I hit him on the chest, but no use, it's like he made up of cement. I looked up at him and he looking back at me, his eyes was changing color from brown to black. Was that lus-? NO. A different kind of feeling ran through my body due to the lack of space between us. Why am I feeling this way? Oh no, I'm losing my mind.
"Shut up!" he said and then shifted my weight to open the car door, and then put me down on the passenger's seat. Then he started to buckle up my seat belt but I snapped his hands away.
"I can do that on my own." I said and he shrugged his shoulders and sat on the driver's seat, this time he ride fast but not as fast as my liking but it was better than that snail mode, I think I can handle that.
"Don't you dare ever do that again." I threatened him and he just chuckled. I am damn serious now!
"Why? What are you gonna do? Shout for help?" he said and started laughing like it was some kind of joke.
"You'll see for yourself." I said and he just mumbled a 'whatever'.
After 15 minutes of literally killing silence we arrived at his house. He parked his car and we got out.
"I just have to take something from my room; you can come inside if you want." He said showing no interest at all.
"Yeah sure." I said mostly to myself.
We stepped inside his house. His house was warm and cozy having a loving feeling in it. I always liked a house like this, small, cozy, full of warmth and love. I instantly calmed down when I took a step in.
"Dad! I'm home." Jacob said. I know that Jacob's father's name is Billy. My dad told me about him, that they used to go finishing back in time and that they were very good friends. And that Billy knows me very well when I was a kid. I highly doubt that because I don't remember him at all.
An old man, in a wheelchair entered the living room, wearing a black hat. And his smiles remind me so much of Jacob, but his smile reaches his eyes unlike Jacob's.
"Hey Jake, and who is this wonderful young lady?" he asked smiling at me and I smiled back.
"Hi, I'm Elena Anderson." I said and stuck out my hand which he gladly accepted.
"Oh, daughter of Lawrence. It's such a long time, I last saw you when you were very small, I doubt if you remember Me." he said.
"Yeah, dad told me about it Mr. Black." I said.
"Just call me Billy." He said.
"Okay Billy." I said nodding my head.
"Ookay, I will be going now." Jacob said awkwardly, of course he was surprised by seeing how well I get along with his father.
"No one wants you here in the first place." I said to myself but Billy heard it. "So true." Billy added. "Make yourself comfortable here." He said and started to watch his game.
I wander around the living room but stopped when I saw the pictures hanging on the wall. There were many pictures of Jacob, Billy, a woman, which I guess is his mother and two girls, his sisters. Her mother was absolutely beautiful. With straight black hair, brown eyes and a perfect smile. Jacob has gotten his eyes from her mother and his smile from his dad. Her sisters were very cute, and then I saw a picture of young Jacob. OMG! He was so cute when he was little. He was smiling showing his teeth, the front two teeth's were broken and he was holding a fish in his right hand.
I started to laugh hysterically. Billy followed my gaze and a warm smile was plastered on his face.
"He was really cute when he was a kid." I said and he nodded. "And your wife is very beautiful. What's her name?" I asked.
"Sarah." He said and there was a different type of glow on his face, full of love and adoration. My heart melted. "Yes, she was really beautiful."
"Was?" I asked confused.
"She died in a car accident." He said and I gasped. Billy is such a nice man, why this happened to him?
"I'm so sorry." I said. Sarah and my mother died in the same way, and they both were so good. My and Jacob's story were alike. We both lost our mother at such a young age. I think that I'm making assumptions about him way too soon. I should give him some time. Maybe he is not that bad. I should give him another chance.
"Don't be, this is life I guess." he shrugged and I nodded just then Jacob walked out of his room.
"Dad, we are going to the garage." He said to Billy nodded.
Jacob's garage was not that big but big enough to hold a car in there. All kind of tools were present there. I walked in and he opened the hood of my car. Jacob was not that bad as I was thinking about him, he was pretty decent apart from that little attitude of his. I think I should really get to know him, what harm could it done to me? As far as, I will kill him. Hmm... Not that bad. He was about to say something but a voice interrupted us.
"Jake?" oh no, I know this voice, please god not this time. A pale faced girl with brown hair stepped in garage. Bella. What is her problem can't she leave us alone?
Why? Do you want to spend some time alone with Jacob? My conscience said. No come on, what is up with my conscience?
Of course I don't want to spend alone time with him, it's just that my baby is not going to be fixed. I replied.
"Bells?" Jacob said and his eyes were filled with glow. Again there was a pain in my chest. You know what I'm tired of all this pain, seriously. Jacob ran to her and engulfs her in a big bear hug, her feet's not touching the ground. After like a minute he put her back down and Bella kissed his cheek, okay kill me now!
"Hey Elena." she said in her fake sweet voice
"Hi Isabella." I said. Kim told me today that her really name is Isabella but she prefers to be called Bella. She was full of shock, and I smiled in victory.
"Don't call me that. I prefer to be called Bella." She said looking me dead in the eye.
"But that's your name isn't it? So I will call you Isabella." I said innocently. She was about to say something but-
"If she wants to be called Bella, then why can't you call her Bella?" -Jacob said angrily at me. Come on, I didn't come here to fight over at Bella's name.
"Whatever." I said and took a seat on the ground. I didn't bother if my clothes get dirty; I can wash them or can throw them away in any case. But Jacob bought a chair for his precious Bella who is too scared to get a little mud on her dress. Huh.
After that Jacob sat next to her. They both looked at each other and then smiled, and Bella blushed. No, no, please god I beg you, please kill me before I see any of this anymore. I closed my eyes and prayed with all my heart, but of course god and me are not good terms right now so he won't listen to me, because when I opened my eyes they both were still there and I was still alive. I guess I just have to deal with that.
Five, six, seven…. Ten minutes passed like this, they were making I don't know what kind of faces at each other and then Jacob would say something she will go red like a tomato. It was like a crappy romance novel got all alive in front of me. Jacob would take a glance at my car once in a while and then tighten some nut boards here and there.
Fifteen minutes. Jacob sat back down, again and they continue their horrible conversation and I can't hear a word they say. Just amazing! At least my ear won't get bruised because of their sappy talks. Then they were leaning in front of each other. Jacob was dangerously close to her face. This is so not happening in front of me. Dammit! I'm here sitting in front of them and decided to kiss? So not happening!
"Okay, this stops right here." I said and they both reluctantly pulled away. They looked at me with shocked eyes but then Jacob's expression turned to anger. And when I mean angry I mean really angry.
"What is your problem?" he shouted almost growled at me.
"You" I said pointing at his chest. "You are my problem."
I've had enough. I unzipped my jacket throw it on the floor. Jacob was looking at me with shocked eyes. Now, I was only in my sleeveless light blue tank top, jeans and shoes. I made my way past him, picked the wrench and started working on my car.
"You stupid Jacob, the nut boards are alright, you don't have to tighten them up, the real problem is in the engine you butthead." I said while working on the engine. I bent down to pick up another tool, which made my tank top to shrink and let reveal some of my bare back. While straightening back up again, I glanced at Jacob and his eyes were again changing color to black, resembling lus- okay now I'm completely losing my mind. I cleared all my thoughts and done the job in five minutes.
So you might be thinking that why I haven't done it myself if I can repair a car, it is because first, I don't have any tools; second, if I had borrowed tools from him, I would need a place; and third, I will be dead if my dad came to know that I'm fixing cars because he will think of it as I'm trying use a machine gun.
As I completed my work I pushed Jacob out of my way, and picked up my Jacket and put it on.
"Thank you so much for your help." I said sarcastically and made my way out of the garage. I sensed someone following that turns out to be Jacob and Bella.
"You are not taking your car?" Jacob asked.
"No, mister obvious, I don't have my car keys, and don't worry I will take it very soon because I don't want my car in hands of a baby, who could do nothing but make sappy crappy comments." I snapped at him. This angers him; I think he remembered the time when I ruined his and Bella's 'moment'.
"I'm not a baby!" He said through gritted teeth's.
"Oh sorry, I forget to mention you are a sappy, crappy, scumbag, dumb head, butthead, stupid, idiotic, I-don't-know-anything mechanic." I shouted at him.
"Don't you dare say about me like that!" He shouted at me almost making me deaf. I just stick out my tongue at him and started to walk away. Billy appeared at the front porch.
"You know what Billy, I feel sorry for you, you have a mean, idiot, completely opposite to you son!" I shouted still walking. Billy sighed dramatically putting a hand on his heart.
"I thought that you could help him getting better." He said.
"I don't need any help." Jacob shouted but we both ignored him, Bella was just watching the whole scenario with shock written all over her face.
"I'm so sorry Billy but your son is retarded!" I said and Billy hung down his head and shook it disapprovingly, I walked on the porch, kissed Billy's forehead and said him goodbye.
"Bye Elena" Bella said smiling bitterly at me.
"Bye Isabella." I said and Jacob growled at me.
"Shut Up!" I said casually and walked away and waved a good bye to Embry.
"Bye Em, and yes, if you call Jacob a mechanic then I'm George Bush!" I said and he started laughing so bad, he was clutching his sides Billy managed to escape a chuckle too, while Jacob was looking at me like he is about to eat me, I just scoffed at him.
Really? George bush? Can't you say something more appropriate? My conscience said.
No, I can't because I'm losing my mind here!
Wait Embry? When the hell did he get here? But I didn't ask him and walk straight to my house.
I'm just so angry right now, Dad is not at home, and he left Kodo at Joe's place. I didn't go to pick him up, because I just want some time alone. All the thoughts of giving Jacob another chance just flew out of my mind. How could I even think of giving him another chance? He is just so mean, and selfish. Urgh! I don't know why I feel so bad whenever I saw him with Bella. My life is so confusing.
I was just sitting on the sofa, thinking about what all had happened in my life, and what I got in the end is that, my life is not such a good experience. But I really got some good and trustworthy friends here. Embry, Jared, Seth, Quil and of course Paul, they all are so nice to me. I was thinking about them just then there was a knock on the door, can't I just rest for some time? No one was there expect me so I decided to see who it was.
I opened the door and in front of me stood a man, in his mid-thirties, with dirt blonde hair, grey colored eyes and lightly pale skinned. He was a handsome man but there was something different about him, his aura was filled with a different kind of energy. I tried to recognize his face but I was positive that I haven't seen him before.
"Can I help you?" I said politely. He smiled warmly at me.
"You are definitely Celeste's daughter." He said and I was shocked by his reply, he knows my mother. "But your eyes are your father's" he added. I stood there completely dumbfounded.
"Oh sorry, I'm Patrick Williams." He said sticking out his hand.
"Hello Mr. Williams; I'm Elena." I said shaking his hands.
"No need to tell me who you are, I know you." He said and I just raised my eyebrows at him. "I'm your godfather" he said and my mouth hung open. My godfather? Well I should say that my godfather is pretty handsome and Young!
"Let's take a walk." He said grabbing my hand. Walk? Why walk? Not in the house?
"But dad-"I said but he cut me off.
"Oh, he will be fine; don't worry about him." He said. I quickly grabbed my hoodie and followed him. I really never met him in my life before, and here I'm walking with him no idea of where he is taking me.
Is he a serial killer? Maybe he planted hidden microphones in our house and then he must have listened my and dad's conversation about my godfather. So, he decided to disguise him, and is taking me to a secluded part to kill me? But how did he know about my mother?
Okay that was absurd, if wants to kill, he would right at the door. But if he is a serial killer then I will not give up without a fight. Oh, I watch way too many movies!
We were walking through the forest, none of us said a word, and I was just following him quietly. Soon, we were at the beach, how did he know the way to beach through the forest? I don't know it myself and I bet he had never been here before! Again, we were just walking silently on the damp sand.
"So, what are you doing here? Come to meet me after all these years?" I said looking him in the eyes. We were standing face to face; the waves were covering our feet's time to time.
"I know you must be wondering, why I'm here after all these years." He said and I motioned him to go on. "Well, I promised your mother that I will come and visit you when the time is right. But when you turned sixteen, you were still normal, so I thought that maybe you are not one of us. But then after some months you started to show signs of being one of us, practically you are late, and it has never happened before." He said looking as if he was in deep thought and seriously I had no idea what the hell he was talking about.
"Sorry, but I had no idea what are you talking about." I said completely confused. I'm late? One of them?
"It will be easy to tell you about this, because you are already living in a supernatural world." He said.
"I think you are mistaken, I'm living in a completely normal world." I said. Supernatural world? I bet he had lost his mind. And tell me about what?
"Oh, don't try to hide it." He said putting his arms in the air. "You are living in between werewolves and Vampires." He said and I started to laugh.
"Are you serious? Werewolves and vampires?" I said chuckling now. "Come on, you all can come out now." I said facing towards the forest.
"Who are you talking to?" he asked confused.
"Camera mans, and all the cast. I know that you and my dad are playing a prank on me, so it's over now." I said and turned around to walk back my house.
"Lawrence did tell me that you were crazy but I think that he was joking." He said and I stopped in my tracks and turn around to face him.
"You are talking about Vampires and Werewolves and calling me crazy." I said pointing at his chest.
"Are you really that stupid?" he said and I started to get angry. "Did you think that I don't know how hot and cold your friend's skin is? Do you think that I not notice their golden eyes and buff figures? Don't try to hide it." He said and that got me thinking.
Abnormally hot and cold, golden and red eyes, extremely pale and buff. Going into the forest all the time. No, no, is he is lying. There are no such things.
But what caught my attention was that Hybrid. His eyes, yes! His eyes were exactly like Jacob's. I was drawn to him like I'm drawn to Jacob. When I touched his fur, it seems so familiar to me. That red head, abnormally cold just like the Cullen's. So fast so feisty. The Cullen's are vampires? I have grown close to them too, especially to Alice, Emmett and Edward. Oh my god! This is all true? Even Paul too, and Embry, Jared, Quil and Seth, that little kid too? All this time they hide it from me. It was like I had been betrayed! So, one bothered to tell me such an important thing about themselves. Not even Paul, I thought he was my friend. Tears started to run down my cheeks. I shook my head.
Just a week ago I told Jacob that I will find out all the answers but I had no clue that the answers will shock every core of my body! How the hell is they are Werewolves and Vampires? They are supposed to be myths right? But I can't ignore what Patrick just said.
"No, no, this can't be true, no it can't be!" I said backing up. Patrick took a step near me.
"You didn't know about them?" Patrick asked raising his eyebrows, and I shook my head lightly. "Oh god, I should not have told you." He said. He was about to say something but I was already running down to Jacob's house.
I didn't sense anyone following me, so I ran and ran without stopping. Soon, his house came into view and there was everyone, even a man whom I don't know. Bella was there too, just great! But I directly ran up to Jacob.
"How dare you!" I said poking his chest with my hands. He slightly stumbled backwards. I don't know but I was angry the most at Jacob.
"What?" he asked completely dumfounded.
"Ellie why are you crying?" Paul said walking towards me but I help up my hand signaling not to walk any closer.
"Why do you even care?" I spat at him, and he looked hurt.
"Please tell me what's going on!" he demanded.
"Oh so you don't know what's going on? Well, when did you all plan on telling me that you all are freaking werewolves?" I shouted and all of their eyes were as wide as a saucer. Bella gasped in shock.
"Who told you that?" Jacob asked shaking. I was not afraid that what will happen if go all wolf on me, if he even dare to do that, he will pay for it.
"Does it really matter who told me?" I asked him. "But I can assure you that it was none of you!" I said as more tears run down my cheeks.
"Please, listen to me I can explain." Paul begged but I pushed him backwards.
"Don't any of you dare take any step near me!"I said getting angry.
"Look, just listen to me okay!" Jacob said as he grabbed my forearms. I tried to break free but his grip was really strong. It angered me more. Bella was watching us surprise plastered across his face.
"Don't get her angry!" came Patrick's voice from behind me. All of them looked at him
"Elena, you have to come with me, I'll explain it to you." That man, whom I don't know said. "I'm Sam."
"I'm not coming anywhere." I said, Jacob was still holding me. "I didn't expect this from anyone of you." I said and all the guys looked with guilt in their eyes. "Paul, I thought that we were friends." I said barely as a whisper.
"Of course we are friends." Paul responded eagerly.
"I doubt that." I said. "I highly doubt that now." Paul shook his head.
"Elena Please" he pleaded but I ignored him.
"And you Jacob." I said looking him in the eyes. "I know that we are not friends, but how could you not tell me this!" I shouted at him and saw hurt in his eyes. "I trusted you all so much, you know what? Every day I think about how easily I get along with you all, like we are childhood friends even if it is only a week or two. I was so happy that I got you all as friends, the one I can share everything with." I shouted at them. "But it turn out completely opposite, you hide something this big from Me." it started to rain heavily by now. I was completely soaked in water. The wind was blowing furiously.
"Calm down Elena." Patrick said but I ignored him.
"We wanted to tell you this." Embry said and Quil nodded.
"When exactly were you planning on telling me this?" I asked and they avoided my gaze.
"It was not their secret to tell." Jacob said taking a step closer to me. He was practically hovering over my head, water from his hair falling down on my cheeks.
"Oh really?" I said we were dangerously close.
"Please don't get her Mad!" Patrick said raising his voice. My heart beat speed up due to the lack of space between us; I was feeling so weak in front of him. I looked at his face and he was looking back at me. Just once a thought of forgiving them popped into my head, but was soon replaced by anger.
"I don't care, I'm done." I said and started to walk away but Jacob grabbed my wrist. I turned and looked at him, hate clear in my eyes. "Don't anyone of you dare come near me, I sear you won't be there to see another day of your life!"
"Let her go." Patrick demanded but Jacob was still looking at me. His eyes held a different kind of emotion that he didn't want me to go. But it was no use. I freed my hand walked away. There was no one left I can believe on, first my mom told me that she will never leave me, but she did. Adrian said that he will be with me forever but he also betrayed me. And then my friends made me believe to trust on them but they too broke it in the last. What I'm going to do? The guys were looking at me with guilt expression but I just avoided them.
"Wait!" Patrick said.
"Why really are you here after all these years?" I asked angrily. I just don't understand what his problem is. He walks as if he knows everything. I'm so unlucky that he is my godfather!
"I have something to tell you!" he shouted over the sound of the rain.
"I don't want to hear." I said but what he said next beat the living hell out of me.
"Your mother didn't die in a car accident Elena!" He said in a monotone. And I gasped. What? Even the guys' eyes were wide in shock. Sam was watching us closely. I was feeling like I have been hit by cold ice rocks repeatedly. My mother didn't die in a car crash? All these years, they have been lying to me? If I just said that I was feeling betrayed a moment ago, then I don't know what to call the current feeling running through me.
"What?" I managed to ask, my voice barely as a whisper.
"Come with me." he said stretching out his hand and without thinking twice I gladly take it. Once our hand touched everything went black like a smoke, I managed to look at Jacob and his eyes were wide seeing what is happening in front of him. My head was pounding it all happened so fast that I didn't even know what was happening. When I opened my eyes we were standing in the secluded part of the beach, I turned to face Patrick and he was smiling at me.
"You are a freaking teleporter!" I said and he just smiled. When did my life get so messed up?
