Does Anybody Want Me?
Chapter 10
I awoke in a strange room that smelled of sweat and antiseptic and tried to sit up but was held down by a large set of hands.
"Bella, no! You've got a nasty concussion. You've got to stay still. They're making arrangements with Seattle General right now." Jake said worried.
"Who? What?" I tried to shake my head only to cry out in pain.
"Charlie! She doesn't remember me!" I heard Jake yelled which made my head pound more and then that voice again and I was hyperventilating.
"Dude, your girl, is she on 'shrooms or something?" he laughed.
"Marc, I suggest you leave." Jake said in a deadly tone, seeing his voice affected me somehow.
"Hey, I'm not the one with the crazy girlfriend. Vicky is as normal as they come, right baby?" the more he talked the more I thrashed around and tried to get away.
"Bella, is it?" I heard the familiar girls voice and started kicking, I barely registered my dad and Jake trying to hold me down as Billy was trying to escort those two out, but not before she bent over and whispered into my ear "Small world runaway. We'll have to give you an encore performance." And that's the last thing I remembered, I was out again.
Waking up in a regular hospital.
"Bella!" It was Sue breathing a sigh of relief.
"Where am I mom?" I asked trying to sit up.
"Lay down child. You're in the hospital. We figured out what happened. They won't bother you again. The idiot was actually supposed to be finished with a sentence from an assault two years ago while in juvenile detention and was sent here to 'mentor'. He was Jake's mentor!" Sue shook her head.
"Mom, does he know?" I asked.
"Yes, Charlie had to tell him. They're actually in the lunchroom. They should be back soon." She smiled.
"How mad at me is he?" I asked through tears.
"I'm not mad at you." Jake walked through the door, Sue got up and walked out.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you." I cried.
"Bella, you didn't think it was important, I get it. It was embarrassing and private. Now I know why Marc was so interested in hearing all about you when he saw the first picture of you." He shook his head.
"I'm so sorry you had to find out, and especially that way and that you had to miss your graduation." I pouted.
"It's OK, not like it was anything formal. Now if you miss my real boot camp graduation when I join the Army that I'll be upset about." He kissed me.
"No missing that one! Promise." I smiled.
Everyone walked back in.
"Any word on when I can go home?" I asked.
"You have to stay the night. But if everything comes back good tomorrow, they'll let you come home. And they've agreed to let Jake stay. We're in the hotel across the street. Here's money for pizza, they said you were allowed to order it for dinner." Charlie kissed my head and Sue and Billy hugged me goodbye.
First day back to school is always exciting.
Billy dropped Jake off at my house and since it was a nice day, we were going to walk.
Alice was waiting with everyone by the benches and were surprised to see Jake walk up with me.
"What's with the Rez kid?" Mike asked.
I had to hold Jake back from beating his ass on the first day.
"He's here to make something out of himself Mike! Unlike you and have to have everything handed to him. He's going into the ROTC program." I grabbed Jake and Alice's hand and marched inside.
"Bella, I can't believe you called Mike out like that." Alice giggled.
"I'm tired of them thinking they're better than everyone." I sighed.
"Babe, as long as I have you. I'm better than every damn one of them!" Jake kissed me and Alice made gagging noises.
The first few weeks dragged on, leading up to my birthday, which was small this year.
Edward and Rose couldn't make it because the twins were sick and Emmett had training.
I told dad I just wanted to go to dinner. Our family along with Jake and Billy piled in and headed to Port Angeles to for dinner.
After dinner the adults stayed for coffee and to talk, Jake and I went for a walk.
"Time for me to give you your gift." He leaned me against a wall.
He pulled out a long box with a bow. "I hope you like it."
I open it slowly and I'm surprised to see dainty little tennis bracelet.
"Jake, I can't!" I shook my head.
"Please. It was my moms. My dad said it was OK. Really." He smiled widely at me.
"Jake, this is too much. It's a family heirloom." I argued.
"Bella, your dad and mom agreed! I wouldn't give you a diamond bracelet without asking them first. I know what kind of commitment this is, this is the step before I get down on bended knee. And believe me Bella. That day will come. I love you! No one else." He kissed me softly while placing the bracelet on my wrist. "Perfect." He nuzzled my ear.
We headed back to the restaurant and the parents were all waiting by the car, Sue waiting with her camera.
Thanksgiving was always crazy busy.
Everyone was coming home this year, even Jake's sisters.
Since it was going to be a huge family affair they wanted to a bonfire and fish-fry the night before everyone left.
Charlie and Billy knowing the entire tribe were going to be there gathered some of the elders and took dads fishing boat out early one Saturday morning. I rode over with dad, Jake and I were going to the beach later with our friends and Sue wouldn't have to make a special trip out, she was busy knitting for the grandbabies and for the homeless like she did every Christmas. I helped out a little, but I wasn't as good as her.
When we got to the Billy nodded for me to go back to Jakes room. My dad just rolled his eyes. They know we 'slept' together, but hadn't had sex. They'd gone to dinner before and found us snugged on the couch or on my bed 'doing homework' where we'd fallen asleep.
The first time my dad was mad, but reminded him of Edward and Rose and he tried to argue about Edward being a boy, but then asked how Esme and Carlisle would've felt and my dad conceded.
As long as we were honest with them and safe, they let us be.
"Hey babe." Jake welcomed me into his arms as I slid out of my shoes, jacket and jeans.
"Hey yourself." I smiled as I saw he was in my favorite boxers.
He wrapped himself around me.
"You smell good." He kissed my neck.
We made out for a while as usual.
And it started getting hot and heavy.
Jake lifted off my shirt and started kissing everywhere he could reach.
"Bella." He groaned.
My hands wandered all over his hard chest, he took my hand and gently placed it on the ever growing tent in his pants.
"Bella." He panted. "This is what you do to me. Please, please say you'll be with me, in every way. I love you." He was leaning over me with his forehead leaning against mine peering into my eyes.
"Yes." I whispered. "I'm ready. I know it's going to hurt. Rose explained it to me, she took me to the clinic, in my bag is condoms, I've been on the pill." I smiled.
"So, you really want to be with me?" he smiled his killer smile he reserves just for me.
"Yes, forever Jake." I kissed him softly, next thing you know clothes are being removed and we're looking at each other for the first time naked.
"Bella, you have the body of a Goddess." Jake smiled as his hands caressed me and left goosebumps in their wake.
"Jake, you're making me blush." I shook my head.
"Just telling you the truth. I'll never lie to you. Please know that." He started kissing me again.
"Do you want to get the condoms or go without? The choice is yours Bella." He stopped and looked at me seriously.
"I want at least our first time to be just us. I want to feel you. All of you. I've Googled it a lot and the pill is pretty effective if taken correctly and I take it at the same time every day and I've been on it for months with no problems. The only time it'd be a good idea to use a condom is when I'm ovulating, that way we don't get pregnant." I smiled at Jake.
"And this is why I love you. You research every aspect to make sure we're covered. I love you!" he leaned down and his kisses became hungry and eager.
"Bella, I have to touch you to make sure your wet." He kissed my neck and sucked on my shoulder.
He was so gentle.
As he touched me he touched a sensitive spot "Jake" I panted. "That's it baby, let go. Just relax. You have to be nice and wet and relaxed for me to fit OK." He whispered and all I could do was nod as his fingers worked me into a frenzy and his mouth found my nipples.
"Bella, I'm going to enter you now, I know it's going to hurt and I'm sorry baby, so sorry. I'll do it fast. OK?" he whispered and I nodded.
He eased on top of me and made sure we had eye contact, he rubbed himself back and forth making sure he was wet and I stayed wet, always kissing me and touching me, whispering how much he loved me. The next thing I know he's broke through and I'm screaming out, because it's painful, burning and he's so damn thick and long.
His stroke are slow and deliberate.
"I'm sorry." He's kissing away my tears, as I'm wiping away his.
"It's OK. I wanted this. I want you, I want us." I smiled up at him.
He reached his hand down and touched a spot that had me seeing stars as he came too.
"Bella, thank you. Thank you for letting our first time be a wonderful experience." He kissed me.
"That was yours too?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah! You thought I'd been with other girls?" he asked.
"Well I wasn't sure. Most guys have done at least something's." I shrugged.
"I'd only ever taken a few girls to the movies and kissed, that's it." Jake said honestly.
"That's our past, now is our future. Which I think calls for a shower. Together." I smiled.
"I like the sound of that. I want to do everything with you. I don't care if we're 14, I feel like I'm 30 with you and not in a bad way. Just that I could take on the world for you Bella. And I want to. I want high school to be over. I want to get married, join the Army, I know you want to go to college, start our family and grow old together!" he pulled me on top of him and I giggled.
"You've got it all planned out, huh?" I asked.
"That, I do!" he wiggled his eyebrows.
"Well, I think it sounds like a great plan! I've been thinking about a nursing. I don't want to be a doctor, but I want to help people and this way when we start a family I can work part time easier too or work in an office, there's more choices." I shrugged.
"Baby, we're going to be the couple at our 20 year reunion that everyone is envious of." He smiled.
"Yes we are. The power couple with the beautiful kids." I countered.
"You've got that right." He smacked my ass and carried me to the shower.
"Oh shit! I didn't see all the blood before. I'm sorry Bella." Jake shook his head.
"It's OK. Rose warned me. We just need to let your sheets soak in some bleach water after. Don't want Billy having a heart attack." I shook my head.
"We could just tell him it's a girl thing and he'd walk away. He had to deal with Rachel and Rebecca." He shrugged.
"Makes sense if there's any traces left." I noted.
Jake made breakfast again and we enjoyed a lazy day around the house, laying on the couch kissing, touching and I even got brave and touched Jake, making him come. He'd just came out of the bathroom when there was a knock at the door.
Embry and Quill of course.
We headed to the beach with them, I sat there bundled up in sweats and Jakes jacket and watched them play football.
"Hey, you must be Bella?" a shy girl's voice said.
"Uh yeah, hi." I said cautiously.
"I'm Tia, are you friends with these guys?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm Jake's girlfriend. And I know Quill and Embry." I shrug.
"Embry is so cute." She sat beside me.
"Ahhhh, are you new here?" I asked.
"Yeah. Only a few weeks. My grandmother lives here. We're actually from the Makah rez, she's sick and my mom needs to take care of her." She smiled sadly.
"I can hook you up." I smiled at her.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah, there's a bonfire, fish-fry next week, if you can bake, especially anything with chocolate that will catch Embry's attention." I smiled at her.
"Awesome. I can." She beamed.
"Can I sit with you tonight since I don't know many people." She shrugged.
"Of course. We'll be close to the food table, of course and we'll be the loudest group I assure you." We exchanged phone numbers and she scurried off before the guys finished their game.
"So… how was it?" Rose asked.
"How was what?" I asked as we watched the twins toddle around the backyard.
"Your first time with Jake?" she asked.
"What?" I practically screeched.
"Bella… Shhhh! Your brother will figure it out and pound him!" Rose giggled.
"Ugh! Is it that noticeable? Do I smell different?" I sniffed my hair.
"No sweetie." She rubbed my back. "You're different with each other. A different connection. He's even closer, more protective of you. Always looking to see where you are. I see you checking your phone shooting little texts." She smiled sweetly. "Edward and I were the same way. Still do sometimes. He's a very passionate man." She wiggled her eyebrows.
"Ugh! I don't need to hear that Rose." I shook my head.
"It's a good thing. You want that in your man, or they become a lazy ass." She shook her head. "Kind of like Jasper. He's become some hippy musician. Fallen off the grid so to speak. He calls once in a while, but plays little dive bars and such, who would've guessed." She shrugged.
"It was great." I finally said. "Hurt. But he was gentle and it's better now." I blushed.
"How do you find the privacy?" she asked.
"Billy bought Jake a used car and he's fixing it up, so they've got this huge shed on the back of their property. It's really private. There's a loft up top, Jake's made it into a little sanctuary for us. He's so sweet." I gush to Rose.
"Are you being safe?" she asked.
"Yes. Promise." I assured her.
This was by far one of the best Thanksgiving's ever.
