Chapter 25
I put my phone back into my pocket. Jacob looks at me with confusion.
"You can answer that if you want." He says.
"No," I say quickly, "It's fine,"
"Ok," Jacob says, "So why are you really here?" he asks me, as he sits down on the couch. I walk over, and sit down on the chair.
"Well," I start, "Two nights ago, Bella came to my house. She broke my wrist," I say showing Jacob my cast, "And that was about it. She wanted me to leave Edward, and I told her no," Jacob laughs. I glare at him and continue, "Yesterday she came back. She said she was going to kill everyone I cared about. Then Alexis came walking up the driveway, and Bella attacked her. Then Edward came and I guess she left I guess," I say.
"That still doesn't explain why you're here," Jacob says eyeing me suspiciously.
"Ya, well this morning, Alexis and I wanted to go sledding. Edward said that he didn't think we should after what happened last night, but Alexis not caring what he thinks said that we were going sledding. So I was looking for my snow stuff, and I told Edward that he could go home and change, and he said no that he would stay with me, and so then I told him that I can handle myself, and he said that he had no doubt that I could handle myself with a normal person. Then he said that no one is safe with Bella around," I say looking over at Jacob. Jacob looks at me and laughs.
"So you're here because you got mad at Edward?" He asks me.
"Yeah, pretty much," I say as my I hear Love Story again. Jacob laughs.
"Edward?" He says eyeing my phone.
"Yes?" I say. Jacob shakes his head, "I'll talk to him later!" Jacob roars with laughter.
"Well since Edward's probably already upset, why not add on!" Jacob says with a grin.
"What do you mean," I say, having no clue what Jacob had planned.
"I have nothing better to do, so why don't we go do something fun!" He says. I shrug my shoulders.
"Sure," Jacob gets up and walks over to the stairs. I get up and follow him. He walks down the stairs, and grabs a sweat shirt. He opens his front door. I look at him.
"Coming?" he asks stepping out into the snow. I shake my head in disbelief. I pull my hat on. I walk outside the snow still falling hard. I walk out to near where my car was. I look around for Jacob. As I am about to call for him, I am struck in the back of my head with what I assume is a snowball. I turn around. Jacob is beaming.
"Not funny," I say brushing the snow off the back of my head.
"You're right," he says, "It's freaking hysterical!" I laugh at his absurd comment. I walk over to him, "Follow me, I have some place I want to show you," Jacob starts to walk around to the back of the house; I have no choice, but to follow. In his backyard there are a few pine trees. The trees thicken a few yards away from the house.
"Could you walk any faster?" I complain. Jacob turns around facing me.
"Could you walk any slower?" He asks with a smile. He is still a few feet in front of me. I stick my tongue out at him. I walk towards him. As I reached him he continues to walk. He walks past the trees with me not far behind. As we walk under the trees the snow is not falling as hard. We soon reach a medium size shack. I tilt my head, having no clue what it is, "Come on in," Jacob says opening a door that leads into the shack, whatever he calls it. The shed is warm. There are tools everywhere. In the center of the shed there is a piece of shit i.e. a really broken down car.
"I take it this is your work shop?" I ask, still very much confused.
"Yep!" He says as he walks over to the corner of the room. There is a small refrigerator, "Do you want something to drink?" He asks.
"Who wouldn't want an ice cold drink on an ice cold day?" I say with a smirk. He throws a can of sprite at me, which of course is wet, and slips out of my hands falling on the floor, "My bad," I say picking it up. He shakes his head.
"What do you think?" He asks me.
"Of what?" I say confused, as always.
"The car," he says.
"Oh! Umm I don't know what you want to say," I laugh, "It's the most beautiful car ever?" Jacob laughs.
"I'm not finished yet, it's an old Ford," He says, clearly proud.
"I have no clue about cars," I say, "To me that's just an old car, My Auntie Collette is really good with cars, same with my Uncle Warren," I say as I look for a place to sit.
"I had a feeling you wouldn't, but I was planning on working on my car until you showed up, and I will work on my car with you here or not," He say with a grin on his face.
"Whatever, not like I have anything better to do," I say. Jacob opens the door to his car.
"Would you like to sit?" He says as I carefully open my Sprite.
"Why I would love to!" I say sitting down inside the car. I take a sip of my soda. I look at my phone, it is about twelve o'clock. Then I get a call. It's Alexis. I decide I should pick up, otherwise Edward, and Alexis might get too worried, "Hello?"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!" Alexis booms. Jacob snickers. I kick him in the stomach as he is now under the car.
"That doesn't hurt," he says.
"Shut up," I smile.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU CLEO!" Alexis yells again.
"I'm fine," I say, "Don't worry Alexis, I'll be home before three,"
"DO YOU REALIZE HOW FREAKING WORRIED I HAVE BEEN! YOU ARE NOT HOME BY THREE I WILL MURDER YOU MYSELF!" She yells.
"Ok, Ok I'll be home by three," I say hanging up. Jacob then laughs so hard California could have heard him!
