I'm so sorry about the late update. I got caught up in life... Anyways, a lot of you were confused about Mike picking up Marie, I was going for it was Bella's turn to pick her up so she sent Mike. I hope that clears things up a little bit!
Chapter 11
When Charlie arrived at the station, his deputy was already there taking Mike out of the back of the police car.
"I don't know why I'm being arrested. I didn't do anything wrong!" Mike was screaming at the top of his lungs. Then he saw Charlie and stopped talking immediately. All the color drained from his face. Mike knew that he knew. After that, he went into the police station quietly and willingly. Charlie followed him in.
"Mr. Newton. What were you doing earlier this afternoon?" Charlie asked.
"I-I was doing a favor for a friend."
"And what was this favor?"
"Well Bella asked me to go and get Marie from school. She said that Edward couldn't so she needed me to go."
"Mhm. What happened when you picked her up?" Charlie asked, already knowing the answer.
"She got into my car, and I drove her to Edward's."
"That's a lie and you know it. You hit Marie over the head at the school, didn't you?"
"N-no. Not at all... I introduced myself and told her I was a friend of Bella's."
"We have you on film, Mike. The school on the Reservation has cameras. You are going away for a long time." Charlie said standing up. Mike just looked at him, with fear in his eyes.
After the three of them at dinner, they acted like they watched a movie on TV. None of them talked, they all just stared blankly at the movie. Marie ended up falling asleep on Jacob's lap. He picked her up and carried her upstairs followed by Bella.
"Are you sleeping up here?" Bella asked quietly, as to not wake Marie.
"If its okay with you. I'll sleep on the ground next to Marie's bed. I think if she wakes up and I'm not there she'll panic. I really don't want that to happen..." he trailed off.
"That's fine Jake. I'll text my dad to let him know. I don't want him to freak out whenever he gets home." Bella handed his a blanket and a couple of pillows then laid down.
In the middle of the night, Marie woke up. She had a nightmare and relived the incident with Mike again. She woke up with a panic, looking around frantically. She saw Jacob on the ground sprawled out, snoring. She smiled a little bit and got out of bed. She sat down next to Jacob and looked at him. There was a piece of hair in his face so she gently moved it. She curled up next him, laying on his arm. She fell asleep almost instantly.
Jacob awoke first out of the three to a soft knock on the door. "Anyone awake?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, I am. The girls are still asleep." Jacob replied, replacing his arm with the pillow he was laying on. "I think Marie had a rough night."
"Why do you say that?"
"I woke up in the middle of the night and she was down here with me. I don't know when she moved." He said, looking at Charlie. "I promise you nothing happened."
"Oh I know you wouldn't hurt her. Just letting you know, Jacob, that you are the best thing that has happened to her in a very long time. She has lost everything. Please don't hurt her." Charlie said, with tears in his eyes. Jacob looked at him and then looked at Marie. She looked so peaceful when she slept.
Jacob looked at Charlie. "I promise you, Charlie, that I will never hurt her. I will be around as long as she wants me here." Charlie looked at Jacob for a second, the held out his hand. Jacob grabbed his hand and shook it. Charlie clapped him on the back and pulled him down the stairs.
By the time the girls woke up and showered, the boys had breakfast ready and on the table.
"Something smells good." Bella said, coming into the kitchen.
"We decided to make breakfast for you guys. It was a rough day yesterday and we wanted to start off this day good. With pancakes." Jacob said with a smile, pouring a cup of orange juice for her self.
"Well thank you guys." Marie said with a small smile, taking a bite of a pancake.
I know I ended it in a weird place. But I promise there is a method to my madness! Let me know what you think!
