Chapter 21: Red Heads are definitely worse than blondes!
(Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews, story and author alerts! And for those that haven't figured it out yet this a love story between Jenna and Emmett! Not one between Bella and Emmett or Jenna and Edward. I hate Bella too use her as in a love story like that she's way to docile.)
I paused getting out of Kit's car at school that Monday morning. What the hell was Jacob doing here? "Hey Jake!" I called out, he looked over at me and smiled holding his arms out. I hugged him only to start sweating. "Hey I'll meet you inside" Kit told me and I nodded. "What are you doing here?" I questioned him. "Came to talk to that bloodsucker" he said, his voice borderline turning to a growl as Edward's silver Volvo pulled up with Bella in the passenger seat. "What's going on?" I questioned him, "what they didn't tell you?" He questioned, I furrowed my eyebrows. "Tell me about what?" I questioned him only for Bella and Edward to walk over. "Hey how come you haven't returned my phone calls?" Bella questioned him, "Didn't have anything say" he told her before turning to Edward.
"Message delivered" Edward growled back at him. Students had started to gather around us. "Wait hold on. What message?" I questioned Jacob. "If one of you steps on our land again we're going for the throat" Jacob growled at Edward. "Get over it Jacob, it was a misunderstanding" Edward growled, my heart plummeted, which Cullen was it? "Jacob" I questioned he sighed, "your bloodsucker tried to jump at the red head only to land on Paul" Jacob told me and I groaned. Paul probably over reacted and went to attack. "Are they all right?" I questioned him and he nodded. "Fine but we're not going to spare him a second time Jenna" Jacob advised me as Edward pulled Bella into the school.
I sighed, knowing Jacob had interfered to keep a fight from happening. "Thanks Jacob" I told him. "I take it your bloodsucker didn't tell you?" He questioned and we shook our heads. "No, instead they pushed us out of town to see our mom one last time" I told him. His head shot up at that. "What?" He questioned, I sighed looking at my feet. "You knew this was going to happen Jacob" I told him. He bit his bottom lip. "How soon?" He questioned me, "not for a while all right Jake?" I tried to comfort him not telling him the real date. He groaned shaking his head. "Jake" I whispered, Jake was a brother to me. We had always been close, we practically grew up together.
"And Bella?" Jacob questioned, "She's made up her mind Jake. I'm sorry. I'd much rather see Bella with you then with Edward" I confessed. I could see him tearing up and I hugged his neck. He gripped my arm as his body shook with barely controlled rage. "Are you sure this is what you want? I mean you're not making any rash decisions with what happened with Jared are you?" Jacob questioned me. I bit my bottom lip. "I'm not Jake. I really love Emmett and this is what I want" I told him. "But what about Charlie?" He questioned me. I sighed, "Emmett and I will be away for awhile till I control my thirst. I'll make some excuses up, cover stories" I told him. He shook his head not being able to accept my decision. "I'd rather see you dead then a vampire Jenna" he told me before roaring his bike to life and taking off down the road.
Tears ran down my cheeks. It hurt to hear him say that to me. I loved Jake, he's a little brother to me. I got on my cell phone immediately and called Emmett. "Hey baby are you okay?" He questioned, "Emmett will you come pick me up?" I questioned in tears. "Wait right there, two minutes" he told me before hanging up. Sure enough two minutes later his red jeep pulled up in front of me. I jumped straight into the passenger's seat as he drove to our waterfall. I didn't say anything. Just held his hand, his thumb rubbing the back of my hand.
Getting to the waterfall Emmett held me against him. A blanket wrapped around us. I sat in between his legs, my back into his chest. My head resting against his jaw. His arms wrapped tightly around me. "I take it Edward told you?" He questioned and I shook my head. "No Jacob did. He came to confront Edward and to check to make sure Bella and I hadn't been turned yet." I told him and he nodded. "It wasn't dangerous or anything Jenna. I just couldn't protect you and chase after Victoria" he told me and I nodded. I understood. "I just want this to be over with already" I told him and he nodded. "Don't worry, it will be soon. If Paul hadn't gotten in the way I would have gotten her" Emmett growled squeezing his fist. I held onto his forearm. "Emmett, next time just tell me. I hate it when you keep me in the dark" I complained. He chuckled. "I know, but you're my fragile flower" he cooed in my ear. I blushed. He kissed my cheek softly. "I'm going to miss that" he commented and I nodded. "I hate red heads" I told him and he raised an eyebrow at me. "In all the jokes they're worse than blondes. I hate red heads" I told him and he rolled his eyes.
"Your just saying that because of Victoria" he told me and I gave him a look. "Not really, I'd father deal with Rosalie then deal with Victoria" I muttered shaking my head. He chuckled kissing the back of my head. "So you're going to be there for regional's right?" I questioned him. "Wouldn't miss it for the world" he chuckled back and I nodded. I couldn't wait for it. I was dying to bring my team further then Shannon had. "You'll do great, you'll win National's easy" he told me and I nodded. I hoped so.
The next week we proved we could. We won regional's and went to nationals. The championship game sucked! I mean sucked bad. We were playing up north so we were used to playing in the cold weather. But it started to snow! Snowing in May! What the hell! We had it up to our ankles, and we starting to trip and slip and slide. The team we were playing against was also used to playing in this kind of cold weather. "Kit!" I shouted kicking the ball at her. She kicked it up in the air back towards me and I roundhouse kicked it into the goal. It slammed hard into the net. I landed on my feet and tackled Kit. The both of us screaming our lungs out as the rest of the team jumped on us.
It wasn't long before Gatorade got dumped on us again. Spotting Emmett I ran up towards him launching myself at him. Knocking the air out of my lungs as he caught me giving me a bear hug. "You won!" He shouted over the cheers of the crowd around us. I kissed him hard. His tongue finding it's way into my mouth. My legs hooked over his hips. "Now if I throw you a party again this year are we going to end it by getting into a fight?" He questioned, "Depends we just might have to make a trip to the hot tub or the back of the jeep" I chuckled. He chuckled, "well in that case" he chuckled holding me against him as he walked back towards the busses.
"Come on you make out later!" Kit teased grabbing my arm and pulling me onto the bus as she held the championship trophy. I waved goodbye to Emmett and sat with Kit in the backseat yelling out songs that were playing on our Ipods. Much of the rest of the girls on the bus either singing their own songs or joining ours. Making it back to the school Dad and Bella were waiting for me. I ran to them holding the trophy. "We won!" I screamed and jumped on them. "That's amazing!" "Good job!" Both of them congratulated. "Don't worry about Emmett he'll be picking you up to go to the party" Bella whispered to me giving dad a pointed look. I nodded, "What? I can't drive my soccer championship daughter home?" Charlie questioned, I rolled my eyes. "You do realize it's going to take an extra ten minutes to get home since you're driving the cruiser" I pointed out. He rolled his eyes. "Whatever now come on" he told us getting into the car.
Reaching home I took a quick shower. While still in my towel I did my hair and makeup before leaving the bathroom. Walking into my room I searched through my dresser for my jeans. Confused I looked over in my hamper. My favorite jeans weren't in there either. Maybe Bella did laundry. "Hey Bella did you do the laundry?" I questioned her. "Nope, have you seen my red blouse?" She questioned, "No have you seen my jeans?" I questioned back. "Which one's?" She asked, "The low rider one's that make my butt look amazing!" I did a high pitched voice on the end making Bella laugh. "Nope, I already checked the washer and drying" she shouted back. "You don't need to be wearing those jeans then anyway!" Dad shouted up the stairs.
"Your so old dad!" I called back, "Hey! Do you want to get grounded again?" He challenged, I rolled my eyes. Like dad would do that to me again over a pair of jeans? Yeah right. My hoodie was gone too. I crossed my arms glaring at my wardrobe. "I'm sure whatever you wear is going to be…." Emmett started as he sat perched on my window only to pause. I raised an eyebrow up at him. "What?" I questioned him. "Two seconds" he told me before disappearing at vampire speed. I blinked and he was back. "Get dressed, someone's been in here" he said getting on his phone. I quickly got dressed, as soon as I was finished Bella and Edward walked in. "I got the girls, go ahead" Edward told him. "I'll meet you at the party all right?" He questioned and I nodded kissing him back hard. "Be safe" I told him. "You know me" he chuckled jumping out the window. Edward followed him so he could knock on the door.
Walking downstairs I looked over at dad. Whatever vampire that came through had left our dad alive. No nomad would have done that. Why would they even pass through the house? Or steal our clothes? Didn't they have their own clothes? Edward knocked on the door and Bella answered it. "Are you going to wait for Emmett or go ahead and ride with them?" Charlie questioned, "ride with them. Emmett's running late from his internship at the hospital" I told him, hugging him and kissing his cheek before sitting in the backseat of the Volvo. Nice car.
Reaching the house we went through the party like nothing happened. Like no one broke into the house. But as soon as everyone left we gathered once again in the kitchen. I sat in Emmett's lap eating some congrat's soccer cake while the family talked. "The scent stopped about four miles south of the house. Then picked up by a car and that's the farthest we could track it. The scent wasn't recognizable" Jasper informed. "It wasn't a nomad. A nomad wouldn't have left dad alive" I pointed out. "Then who is it?" Esme questioned, "I vote for Victoria. It's only a matter of time before she get's through you guys" Bella pointed out. "It's not her Alice would have seen it" Edward pointed out rubbing Bella's arm comfortingly. I rolled my eyes. "Just because she hasn't decided doesn't mean it's not her. Besides you have Alice watching so many people's decisions some things are bound to slip between the cracks. Whoever is doing this has knowledge of Alice's abilities" I pointed out. "Which is why I think it might be the Voltouri" Edward pointed in.
"Then why would they steal our clothes?" I questioned, "Because Demetri can't track Bella…" Edward defended, "But he can track me. He knows Bella will be wherever I am" I pointed out. "She's right Edward. This doesn't seem like the Voltouri at all" Carlisle put in. I smiled at having Carlisle's side. "That doesn't mean I'm siding with you Jenna. This just isn't the Voltouri's style" Carlisle put in. I groaned at that. Emmett snickered pinching my sides slightly, so my ass shimmied across his hips trying to escape his fingers.
He groaned holding my hips so they wouldn't move. "Look it's been a long night. Charlie's going to worry if you two aren't home soon. Just relax, graduation is tomorrow!" Esme told us. We nodded and hugged her. "Besides you guys need to add another cap to the wall" I chuckled as Emmett wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked towards the Jeep. I went to get in the passenger seat but he caught my hips. "Uhuh your driving tonight" he told me leading me to the driver's seat. I groaned, I was not fond of driving a stick shift. Emmett chuckled at my behavior opening my door and helping me inside before climbing in on the passenger seat. I pushed down on the clutch as I started the jeep. Putting it in reverse I went down the long driveway through the trees towards home.
