Thanks for the reviews.
Enjoy! (:
Chapter 20: Part 2, Piper POV:
"Why the rush?" I asked as Jake drove over to the Halloween Party.
"Just want to get there."
"I didn't even get to have a full conversation with Quil," I frowned.
"You will later."
"Fine."
"You look amazing." I couldn't help but smile at that, okay I lied I couldn't help grin.
"You don't look so bad yourself," I looked straight not looking at his face but I knew that he was smirking.
"Thanks."
"So a Fairy. That was the big Halloween outfit you wouldn't tell anyone about?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
"Wow. So what's Kim going as?" Jacob wondered.
I laughed, "You'll see. Leah should be there to." I mentally cursed myself out for saying Leah even though he already probably knew that she was going.
It was just awkward because of the whole Sam and Emily thing and then he was friends with Sam, my boyfriend and other stuff...I just, I don't know.
"Nice."
"Yeah."
I felt bad. Obviously I had just made things awkward but at the same time I didn't feel bad because I didn't want things to be like that between us. I really didn't.
It was quite the rest of the way to the party. When we got there Jacob had my door open before I could even get out.
"Thank you," I grinned stepping out of the car.
"Your very welcome."
Jacob took my hand as we walked up the driveway to the house. It was a huge house. The inside was even bigger. Everyone was aloud anywhere in the house except upstairs and Samantha and Andrea's parents room.
"Glad you too could make it," Andrea smiled. She was standing by the door greeting people.
"We are too." Jake smiled.
I felt myself glowing. I mean I was here with Jacob Black and I knew that I was glowing. And our hands were entwined. Some might say big deal but to me it was a huge deal.
Embry came in soon followed by Paul. I knew that Jared was getting Kim and they would be here pretty soon. Jake smiled at his friends. "Go." I told him nodding over to them and he gave me a million dollar smile walking over to them.
"So what's up with you too?" Andrea asked.
I grinned, "It's official." I didn't need to say anything more because she already knew what I was talking about.
"For real."
"Hell yeah."
"Congrats."
"Thanks."
"How long?"
"Asked me yesterday." I couldn't help grin thinking about how things had turned out. My thoughts couldn't help turn to the sea shell.
"Aw. I know your happy."
"Sure am."
"Have you seen Leah?" I asked after awhile. We were just standing their. I mean we were friends but we weren't the closest of friends and didn't talk much.
"Um yeah. I think she's talking with Sam in the kitchen." I nodded. Samantha, Andrea's sister was sometimes called Sam or Sammy just to make things easier.
"Thanks. If you see Kim can you tell her where we are."
"No problem."
I smiled wandering into the kitchen. There was Leah all in her costume talking to Sam. She looked amazing. And the light was hitting her face just right.
Sam looked cool too. She was dressed as a witch.
"Hey." I made my appearance known.
"Hiya," Sam smiled. She was always nice to everyone.
Leah ran over and gave me a big hug I hugged her right back. "I've missed you." She said.
"I missed you too. It's been awhile."
"Yes it has. Where's Kim?"
"Jared's going to get her."
Leah gave me a look. One of those looks that said, 'we will talk about this later' and I couldn't help grin. I knew we would have much, well n more than a lot to talk about. We had to catch Leah up to speed and each other.
"She should be here soon anyways," I smiled.
"I hope so."
"So how are you Sam?" I wondered turning my attention back to her.
She shrugged, "I'm good."
"That's good."
"How's the year going for you?" I tried to make small talk even though I felt a little out of my element but not really.
"Alright. Can't wait for Summer even though the year just started. Andrea said I'm crazy for wanting Summer already." Sam laughed.
Leah and I laughed with her, "I know the feeling."
"Oh there you are," I didn't have to turn around to know who that was. Carly.
"Been looking for me?" I wondered turning around.
"Yes. Oh my god, I love your costume. It's amazing." I couldn't help grin. "Thanks."
I analyzed hers. She was dressed as a bumble bee, short dress, black flats and everything. It was cute, totally Carly. "And I love yours. Bumble bee."
"That's what traps them. Cute by I still sting." I laughed with Carly, Leah and Sam.
"Where's Kim?" Carly asked after awhile.
"She should be here soon." I bet that Carly was surprised Leah got here before Leah. I didn't say anything though.
As we spoke amongst ourselves for awhile I felt my attention go back to Jake. I missed him already and he was just in a different room. And where the hell was Kim.
I know she better show up, she would've told me if she was sick or something but then again at the moment she was with Jared so...
"Well it's about time," Leah interrupted me from my thoughts. I looked to see the one and only, Kim.
"Sure is." I had throw my two since into there.
"Oh shut up. I'm not late."
"We have been waiting for you for like an hour," I told her giving her a look. I knew I was exaggerating things though.
"Well I'm here now."
"Party time," Carly yelled smiling and grabbed Sam's hand dragging her out of the room somewhere.
It was just Kim, Leah and I now. "Alright so what's going on with you two? I know your hiding things and I want to know."
"Nosy aren't isn't she?" I wondered aloud, jokingly looking at Kim.
"Yeah, she really is. Actually we shouldn't tell her anything considering she hasn't been around lately."
"Yeah what's up with that?" I turned to look at Leah. I really wanted to know what was going on and why she wasn't around as much lately.
I mean as being one of her best friends I thought I had the right to know right? Okay maybe I didn't have to know but that still didn't stop me from being nosy or anything like that.
"Yeah, sorry about that. A lot has just been going on and stuff, you know."
"No, we don't know. How about you enlighten us," Kim grinned. I hope Leah knew that she wasn't getting out of this. And I thought I was bad, Kim really wanted to know what was up.
"Ha. You first."
"Trade for trade?" Kim raised her eyebrows at Leah. I nodded. That would work out best probably.
With Kim, Leah and I a trade for trade was when one of us would go first the oldest usually so Leah and she would trade a piece of information, then second oldest Kim and would trade a piece of information and then I would. It worked out pretty well for us to be honest.
"Why not."
"You first."
"Fine. I met someone."
"Who?" I wondered. I mean after my brother and Emily had done their damage to Leah I couldn't help but wonder who had gained her heart. Whoever it was better not break it. At the same time I had a million other thoughts going through my head about the whole thing. I could tell Kim did too.
You should see her face.
"Ugh ugh, Kim's next and then you. Remember trade for trade."
I nodded. Kim went next. "Jared and I got closer."
"Jake and I kissed," I admitted.
Leah's eyes went wide. "His name is Pete."
"Jared met the twins."
Leah nodded. I knew she guessed they must've met at the Lacrosse game.
"Jacob took me to the beach."
"Pete goes to college with me."
"Jared asked for me to come to the party with him." Kim grinned.
"Jake got me a sea shell. It's beautiful."
"Pete's a year older than me."
"Well there's nothing really left me for, we aren't a couple or anything." I slightly glared a Kim but not really.
"Jake asked me to be his girlfriend!"
"What?" Leah grinned. "Oh my god! And you said yes didn't you?"
"Yeah," I could feel myself start to blush.
"What about you and this Pete?" Kim snapped. She already knew most of the information about Jake and I. I couldn't lie I wanted to know more about this Pete myself.
"Well he's amazing. We go to the same college, he's a year older and just well amazing."
"When can we meet him?"
"Whoa Piper slow your horses."
"Well, we will get to meet him, right?"
Leah nodded. "Yeah, you will. Eventually."
"I hope eventually doesn't mean in like I don't know years from now."
"Ha ha ha, Kim you crack me up." You could hear the sarcasm in her voice.
Leah went and grabbed a cupcake Kim and I got ones as well. As we nibbled and talked Paul came in. "You girls talk a lot. I mean wow."
"You were listening to our conversation," I almost exploded. Oh Paul was so lucky we weren't at my house right now.
"No, but it's not hard to figure out."
"Your a shitty liar," I told him straight up.
Paul just laughed and Leah gave him the finger. He glared at her lightly. I knew he was still scared of her.
"Hello Paul," Leah smiled.
"Leah."
"How have you been?" I wasn't sure why she was asking. It wasn't like she had actually cared about how he was.
"Just fine. And I guess I should ask and you?"
"Fine."
"I'm hungry."
"Your always hungry," I commented.
"Yeah and you always have a smart ass comment." I shrugged. I had to admit at times I just loved to get Paul fired up. It was fun and then there were times it just made me sick.
"Whatever. Where's Jake?" I wondered aloud.
"Your boyfriend is with that girl's boyfriend," he said pointing to Kim. "They're both gushing over the two of you."
"Really?" I tried not to sound to interested in everything but couldn't help it. I wondered how the other boys felt about that. If they were annoyed.
I knew I had heard them complain sometime about how obsessed Sam was with Emily. I didn't bring that up though.
"Yeah," Paul said stuffing his face with a piece of pizza. He looked up but his eyes met Kim's. "Why are you so quite?"
"Leave her alone."
"What did I say that was wrong?" Paul wondered.
I slightly glared at him a little. "Leave her alone. Come on."
I grabbed Kim and Leah's hands dragging them from the kitchen. We almost bumped into the boys who were headed in the kitchen but missed them.
"My bad," I called over my shoulder heading to everyone else was dancing.
We went by Carly and some of the other girls from school and just randomly started dancing. To be honest I wasn't even sure what song was on and I didn't care. Just wanted to have fun.
We danced all night. Even the boys ended up joining us and I danced with Jake. It was fun. But time came to end and soon we all had to depart. Leah was first to leave she had some stuff to do in the morning but she promised Kim and I that we would all get together soon.
Jared took Kim home later as well. Jake and I drove home with my head on his shoulder. It was comfortable their.
"Tonight was fun," I murmured.
"Yeah it was."
"So," I thought about what Paul had said about Jake talking well gushing over me to the guys. I think that I was definitely over thinking things but I couldn't help it.
"What's on your mind?" Jacob questioned me.
"Nothing."
"Liar." I knew that he was grinning.
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"You just know something's bothering me. I didn't even say anything and you just know."
"Because I just do."
"Well I heard you were gushing over me to the guys," I started.
"Okay."
"Look it's cool and all I don't mind but I know how the guys complain sometimes when Sam talks none stop about Emily so don't drive the guys crazy. Kay?" I tried to lighten the mood.
Jacob laughed a little bit. "Don't worry, I won't. Not to much anyways."
I blushed. "Alright."
It was a comfortable silence that washed over us. I looked out of the window the rest of the way home. When we finally got there Jacob and I both got out and he walked me into the house.
"Coming in," I grinned.
"Yeah."
We entered the house and it was quite. "Come on," I took Jake's hand and led him upstairs to my bedroom.
"I have to change but I will be back," I grabbed my pajamas and ran to my bathroom changing quickly and then going back to my room. Jake was laying on my bed staring at the wall.
I laid down next to him looking up at the wall as well. "What are you thinking about?"
"Us."
"I hope it's good."
"It is."
"Piper," Jake said seriously.
"Yeah."
"In due time there are a lot of things that I'm going to tell you."
"Okay."
"For now can you just go with things. Your smart and I know certain things that have been going on with the guys and I haven't been making sense but in due time you will understand everything. I promise. Can you wait?"
"For you? Of course."
Jake smiled and gave me a light peck on the lips. I grinned snuggling into him loving the feeling as he wrapped his arms around me. I didn't worry about needing a pillow or blanket.
The crook of his neck and his chest was my pillow and he was so warm a blanket wasn't necessary. I drifted to sleep eventually.
Well there you go chapter 20 part 2. In the next couple of chapters Piper's going to find out about the wolves. I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me through the story.
