Note: Updated
When we got home, I headed straight for my room and locked my window. I didn't need a visit from Jacob tonight. I didn't want to hear his explanation on why he was with Bella the whole time. I didn't want him to tell me why he left and basically abandoned me. Even if it was a good reason, I didn't want to hear it tonight.
I felt so betrayed by him, but at the same time, I missed him and that made me feel even more furious. I couldn't understand how I wanted to feel angry with him, but I ultimately couldn't because I could feel my anger wither away slowly. I threw myself on my bed and put the pillow over my face in frustration. I started counting backwards from 100 to get myself to fall asleep. I ended up counting twice from 100 before actually falling asleep.
I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. I looked towards the window knowing that Jacob wouldn't be lingering at my window this late. I sighed to myself and then tried getting comfortable under my sheets. I tried falling back to sleep, but my mind ran wild with the new move. On top of it all, I had to find out what imprinting meant. If it's true that the wolves in the legends "imprint" on their true love, then obviously that means If it was part of the legend, then it must mean that the pack can do the same. But what does imprinting actually mean?
I tried my best to push all those thoughts aside, but they kept bouncing back. I got up from bed and walked downstairs. I went into the kitchen where I made myself some hot milk with coffee. I sat on the couch, and drank my milk quietly thinking about something positive. I wasn't going to go back to Miami, so that was a good thing. After I finished, I went back upstairs and tried the sleeping thing again. Eventually, I was able to fall asleep.
I was awaken by a hand shaking me awake. "Whats going on?" I groaned. "Honey, wake up. We're going to the high school today to sign you up," My mother said. I groaned even louder and pulled my blanket over my face. "Five more minutes." My mom grabbed my blanket and ripped it from my body. "It's already 12pm. You've slept the whole morning. Get up, cause the school closes at 2," she told me. I rolled out of bed and stood up. "Alright, just give me 5 minutes," I told her. My mom smiled at me and walked out the room. I dragged myself into the shower and quickly washed up before putting on black sweats and an orange long sleeved shirt. I walked downstairs and met with my mom that was already dressed and waiting for me by the door. "You're going like that?" she asked eyeing me. "Why not?" I answered. "Nothing, let's just go," she said ushering me outside.
I dragged my feet as she pushed me towards the car. I opened the door and got into the passenger side, while she went on the drivers side. Mom made her way to La Push high. "So mom, what made you leave Miami?" I asked curiously. She never told me why she made that random decision. "Well, Miami is expensive and it's a chance for you to start over," she answered simply. "But what about your job?" I asked. My mom gave a loud sigh, "I lost my job." I looked at her shocked. She working for the University of Miami for years. "Why?" I asked. "I'm not sure. They said it was lay off," she said sadly. I put my hand on my moms shoulders. "Mom, I think everything happens for a reason. I love La Push, and I'm glad we're moving here. This is where dad grew up and at least we're closer to him too." Mom smiled and nodded her head in agreement. "That's true. I remember meeting his parents here in La Push, and thinking about how nice everyone was. I think you're right Milly," she stated. "So when do we pick up the rest of our stuff?" I asked. "We don't need much from the apartment. We'll sell most of the stuff and just take our own personal stuff," she answered. "That means we'll be down in Miami for a couple of days?" I asked. "Yeah, Probably a weekend," she answered. I nodded my head. Maybe space from Jacob would be good for me as well.
We arrived at La Push high where my mother was going to sign me up for 12th grade. My last year in high school before moving on to college. I followed my mother into the small school and into the front office. My mother announced that she wanted to enroll me into the school, and a short older lady brought some paper work. I stood next to my mother as she filled out the paper work. After she was done, she handed all the paper work back to the lady. "Okay, let me process this and I'll be right back," she said while turning around and disappearing into an office. My mom and I stood there quietly waiting for the women to return. After 15 minutes, the women returned with forms.
"Here is her schedule for classes and here is a list of things she needs to have for school," the lady said giving my mom forms. "This is also your copy of the enrollment form. Congrats," the lady announced unenthusiasticly. My mom gave her a side smile and mumbled some words before we left. "That was interesting," I told my mom as we walked towards the car. "Yeah, tell me about it. One item off my list," mom said while getting into the car. I got into the passenger and looked at my classes. It was a regular senior year schedule with annoying final classes I had to take before graduation. "Ugh," I said upset. "What?" My mom asked. "So many classes," I groaned. "You have one more year. Get over it. You're almost done," My mom said trying to encourage me.
"Mom, can we go this Friday to pick up the rest of our stuff?" I asked out of nowhere. My mom looked at me weirdly. "Sure? We can bring Jacob along if he wants to come. He can help us get rid of the stuff we don't need," my mom suggested. "I was hoping it would be only us," I answered. "Why?" My mom questioned. "I want it to be mother- daughter bonding time," I lied. I really just needed time away from Jacob and to get my mind focused on something else rather then him. "Since when do you want mother daughter bonding time?" My mom asked suspiciously. "All the time mom! You're the one who pushes me away," I said jokingly, hoping she was going to drop the subject. "Okay, that's fine. We'll go together this Friday," she smiled at me. I smiled at her back, glad that she bought my story.
When my mom finally arrived at the house, Jacob was sitting on the steps. "Oh, look who's here!" My mom said excitedly. "Yay!" I said trying to face my enthusiasm. I didn't want my mom to know that I was fighting with Jacob. She seemed so excited to start over and have a new life, and I didn't want to break her bubble. Mom got out of the car and I followed her out. "Hi Jacob," My mom smiled at her. "Hi," he smiled at her. "Hey," I smiled at him as well. "I'll leave you two alone," mom said as she walked into the house. My smile turned into a frown when my mom went into the house. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "You're mad at me?" he asked. "Jacob, if you make me answer that, I swear, you're going to bring me over the edge," I said angrily. "I'm sorry," he said truly upset. "We need to talk," he continued. "We can talk later," I said walking away from him.
"Please, this is serious," he begged. "I don't care. I don't want to know. You could be telling me that I'm going to die tomorrow, and I don't care," I said stubbornly. "Don't be like that," he sighed. "I'm going to be like this, until I can calm down and I don't think I'll calm down anytime soon." Jacob let out a deep sigh. "Then, I'll follow you around until you finally get calmed," he stated. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever dude," I said continuing to walk towards Emily's house. Jacob walked behind me as I continued.
"Hey people," I said walking through Emily's door. "Hey! You guys had fun last night?" Emily asked. "Well, I did. I don't know what Jacob was doing since he spent all night disappearing with Bella," I said casually. "Oh," Emily said awkwardly. "Ooooh Jacob, you're in trouble," Paul laughed. "No he's not. He could do whatever he wants Paul," I answered. I could feel Jacob tense up behind me. I walked to the couch and sat down. Jacob followed right behind me and copied exactly what I did.
"How's your mom liking La Push?" Emily asked ignoring Paul's recall. "Apparently she loves it, because she decided to stay here..." I said cautiously. "You never told me that!" Jacob said surprised. "Was I talking to you?" I asked him. "That's great!" Seth shouted. "You're staying!?" Quil said running into the house. "Where did you come from?" I asked. "I was outside," Quil answered. "Well yeah, I'm staying. Mom has officially signed me up for school this morning. I will be attending senior year here," I continued. "You'll be with Embry and I! I hope we have classes together!" Quil said excitedly. "And I'll be attending my freshman year! So we'll be together as well!" Seth stated just as excited. "Yeah, It'll be interesting," I chuckled. "It's a new start. I just hope it goes well," I said biting my lip. I could feel Jacob tense up next to me again. Why did he tense up to that?
"I'm going to be away for this weekend though. I'll be going back to Miami to grab my stuff and getting rid of the rest. I should be back by Monday," I informed the group. "I'll go with you," Jacob stated. "No. Just mom and I," I told him. I felt bad being mean to him, but he hurt me first and I had to stand my guard. "It's not safe for you to go by yourself," he pushed. "I've been by myself before this summer. I'll be fine," I pushed back. "Awkward," Paul said. I bit my lip. It was becoming awkward between us. I stood up from the couch. "I'll see you guys around, I'm going to pack somethings for the trip," I said. "Yeah, I should go too. I kept promising mom that I'm going to mow the lawn and haven't done it," Seth said. I laughed, "I forget that you're still a kid. I guess going back to school will help me remember that we're kids and not wolves and vampires... and by we I mean you guys," I chuckled. "Things will get back to normal in no time," Emily stated. "Can't wait!" I said while walking out. Jacob stood up and followed me out.
"You're being childish. I don't want you around me. I'm going to go home and pack some stuff. I don't want you in my room," I told him. "Please, let me explain what happened," he begged. "I have things I need to tell you," he urged. I bit my lip nervously. I wanted to let him explain himself, but I didn't want to let him off the hook so easily. "Honestly, I can't listen to you right now. Come tonight, and I'll let you know if I can listen. I need to be by myself. I can't calm myself if hover over me," I told him. He nodded his head. "Okay, I'll come tonight." I gave him a half smile and walked away.
I was nervous about what he wanted to tell me. He seemed legit frightened and It made me wonder if he was finding the best way to let me go easily. The good thing was that I had a weekend away from him. Whatever he wanted to tell me, I would have time to myself to think and recover. I walked home, where I spent the rest of the day packing and listening to music.
