I wake up Jakes arms forming a cage around me. I squirm, push his arms, I try everything, but nothing works. "Jake!" I whine. He laughs. "Lemme out I have to pee." "That is the most pleasant thing I have ever awakened to." He says sarcastically. "I know it is." I say, smirking. He lets me go and I get up and get in the shower. "LIAR!" He yells. "I get to do that!" I say back.
I get out of the shower and wrap myself in a big, fluffy towel. "Jake!" I hiss, opening the door slightly. "Yes?" He asks, looking over at me. "Close your damn eyes." "But-" "Do it!" He closes his eyes and I come out of the bathroom and go to my drawers. I open them, grab random clothing and go back to the bathroom. "Okay!" I say as I close the door.
I pull on the clothes I brought, a black tank top and a black sweater with the batman symbol on it and pointy bat-ears on the hood. I laugh when I hold up the pants I brought, they're neon yellow. I pull them on and then open my door. Jake comes and leans on the door, as expected. "When did you become batgirl?" I roll my eyes, "I didn't do it on purpose. It's your fault."
I pull out the makeup case and sit on the counter. I had started wearing makeup a little bit more, but still only on my eyes. I take out golden eyeshadow, black liquid eyeliner and some lip balm/gloss. I face the mirror, and Jake wraps his arms around my stomach. I start to put it on, and jake says, "I don't know why you wear that, you don't need it." I smile slightly and continue to put it on. He kisses my neck, "Really." "Thanks, but please let me finish." "So.. Do you know what you're gonna do today?" "Um no, why?" He shrugs, "Just asking." I roll my eyes, yeah right. "Alright I'm done." I say. He releases me and I get off the counter. We walk downstairs and into the kitchen, holding hands. I sit down at the table, next to Kim and grab a muffin. "So, Jaycee, I was thinking that we could maybe go school shopping." Emily says, from behind the counter. I raise my eyebrows, "Really? When does school start?" I ask. "In two months." Kim says. "Oh." I murmur. Jacob exhales a breath and relaxes in his chair. "Can I go too?" Kim asks. "Of course." Emily says. Jared looks up, "Where are we going?" "School shopping." Sam says. "Why don't you go? You'll have something to do." Jacob says. I shrug, "Alright." "Well umm.. I'm gonna head to my house... Bella bought two bikes and wants me to fix them up." I choke on a piece of muffin. "Couldn't eddy just buy her one that works?" I scoff. "No." He says tersely. "Edward. Is gone. He left her." He says, shaking. "Oh." I can feel everyone's eyes boring into me. I shift uncomfortably in my chair. I know what they want. They want me to tell him to come with me. But I don't want to do that. He has free will for a damn reason.
"Well are we leaving? Why not go now?" I say, and grab a muffin. I stand up, and Jacob mirrors my movements. He leans down and kisses me and I pull away quickly, "Bye Jacob." I murmur. I walk out, then put on my hood.
"Batgirl, out." I say
They follow me out the door, and we get in Emily's truck. They silently reprimand me, I can hear it in my head. After awhile, they speak, "Jaycee, you shouldn't have let him go." Sam says. "What is the deal with you people?! You act as if-" You need to know what happened." Jared interrupts. I exhale, and throw my hands up in the air, "Well them tell me what the fuck happened, Uncle Sam!" He glares at me through the mirror. "Jacob and Bella were friends, when they were kids. then a year and a half ago, maybe, Bella came back. She had moved away. Jacob fell in love with her. But she fell in love with Edward. And before you came, Jacob vowed to love her till her heart stopped beating. Or in other words, until Edward changed her. And she does love him, it's a proven fact." Sam says. "And no man should have someone they love at home, and be out with a needy broken hearted girl that loves him too." Emily says. "No biggie." I mutter.
But then, I start to think about it. Is he strong enough to stand in front of his first love, who broke his heart, and protect both his heart and mine? If Daniel came to me broken hearted... What would I do? I know I'm not strong enough. I know that I still love dani, but when I saw Jacob, it felt as if those feelings were just pushed aside. They didn't necessarily vanish...
I wouldn't be strong enough.
Jacob please don't break our hearts.
I put in my headphones, and stare out of the window. I would be lying if is said I wasn't a huge fan of Paramore, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Trapt and so on. And, I like it loud. They look at me worriedly. So I shift through my music until I come to Romans Revenge. Their eyebrows raise, then I can practically hear their thoughts, 'well what did I expect? It's Jaycee. Sailor Jaycee.'
A call pops up on my screen, Dani. I answer it, "Hey Jayjay, you know how I said I would be flying down there to check this boy out? Guess what, I'm on a plane now, with Ciara." "REALLY?! OMIMOTHERFUCKINGOD! I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH RIGHT NOW! IM GONNA CRY!"
"Yeah, yeah we love you too. You wanna know why? Ciara's parents got the bizarre idea in their heads that they would arrange a marriage for us, when... Yeah we didn't like the idea. Oh, look we're landing. Could you do us a solid an come pick us up?" "No dip, Sherlock." I mutter into the phone. "HEY TURN HERE!" I yell at Sam, "GO TO THE AIRPORT PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEE! MY LIFE IS WAITING FOR ME!" I yell. "Alright already, stop yelling." Sam growls. "I'm on my way. I'm on my way." I say, bouncing in the seat.
When we park at the airport, I run to the terminal and jump up and down. Up and down. Then, I see him, Dani, he's so unmistakable. I run towards them, and jump into Dani's arms. He hugs me tight, and I wrap my legs around his waist. "Hey jay." He murmurs. "Don't ruin the moment, Dani." When he puts me down, I turn towards Ciara, she's a tall, willowy, black haired Thai girl. She has a slight accent, and often curses in Thai. She is really pretty. I'm jealous of her face, she's jealous of my hair. We hug each other tightly. "I'm missed you so much, Ci." "I missed you too, Jay." She says, her chin on my head. We walk hand in hand back to the truck, and Dani's eyes widen when he sees Sam, who stands maybe a foot over him. "Hey I'm Jared." Jared says, smiling. "Hey I'm Ciara! Are you Kim and Emily? Emily you're sooo pretty! Do you remember me? Does Embry ever talk?" She says this all in two seconds, while giving them all a hug. "Not really, yes we remember, and thank you." Emily says. "Soooo... We have nowhere to stay.." Ciara says after they put all their bags in the trunk. "You guys can stay with us, of course." Emily says. "Really? Thanks." Ciara says. "Yeah, thanks." Dani adds. "So how long are you staying?" I ask. "Did you not hear me? They're trying to marry us." Dani says slowly. "Aren't you like twenty or something?" Sam growls. Sam doesn't like Dani. Neither does Jared. "I don't think any of you understand." Dani growls. They look at him, alarmed. People outside of the pack don't growl. "Everyone in Vermont is all, 'Jaycee is gone, you can finally marry Ciara.'" Ciara says. "And Ciara is only interested in getting Embry and Paul's numbers. And I-I.. Don't like her like that." Dani says, frowning. "So?" "Can we stay forever em?" Ciara says. Emily smiles, "Sure, our family is open." Ciara grins, "See I told you we would be fine." She says, glaring at Danny over my head.
We start to pass a grocery store and Ciara and I look at each other. "CAN WE GO TO THE STORE?!" We yell simultaneously. Sam jerks to a stop, and I push dani out of the door, and Ciara climbs over me. I see Kimmy looking alone, and grab her hand and we run to the store. We end up parading through the store, Kim, Ciara and I riding the cart and dani pushing it. "You guys are such dorks." Dani snorts. I giggle, "TO THE CANDY AISLE!"
