Chapter 8: Done-done
When I was with Jake, Everything was just easy. I loved being with him so much, he made me happy. But at the same time, I was scared. I was starting to put all my trust in him, what if he left me too?
I had spend all my weekends at his house the last three weeks. I had met his friends, they seemed nice.
Today it was Saturday, and Jake was almost finished with the motorbikes.
Even though getting Jake to repair the bikes was my first idea to spend time with him, we had figured out we both liked to spend time in nature, so we had gone on hikes, and walks on the beach.
"Can you pass me the screwdriver?" Jake said, with a mouth full of screws.
"Yeah, sure"
There was a pause where no one was saying anything. I was just absorbing the warm feeling of feeling whole.
"Bella.. can I ask you something?" Jacobs voice was serious and deep.
"Sure" i crossed my legs as if I knew what was coming, and tried to protect myself.
"Do you like me?" He said.
That was a stupid question, I answered with ease.
"Of course I do! Do you think would be here a 1000 hours a week if I didn't?" I joked.
He tried to smile, but his eyes looked sad, as if he was a bit disappointed.
He looked as if he was fighting something, like he was debating if he should say something or not.
"Jake, I can see you want to tell me something, spit out" I laughed.
"Hmm" he sighed, as if he gave up.
"Bella.. Are..are you and Edward, done? Like done-done" he looked down at the floor. His hands were shaking, so much that it moved the motorbike.
I felt my heart stop. My mind went numb, and tears were pressing it's way out.
I tried to speak. There had never been one asking me that. It was pretty obvious.
I felt uncomfortable, and crossed my arms too.
I looked down.
"Yes. We are".
He gave me a smile, and started working on the bike again. I looked out the window.
It was like I could still hear what I had said.
Yes. Yes we are.
