Chapter Eight: Lounge Act

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando

There goes my mom playing Abba again like she always does every Sunday morning. The fact that she's played Fernando for the third time this morning must mean she's in a good mood. So, when I walked down into the kitchen I wasn't surprised to her swaying to the beat while singing along. She was elbow deep into a fish that apparently Old Quil dropped off earlier.

She was blissfully unaware I was there until I bumped into the corner of the counter like a dumbass. She turns around and giving me a smile, "Morning sweetheart, hopefully you slept okay cause we have a long day ahead of us."

"What the hell is going on, where's dad?" It was weird for my dad not to be around when mom's cleaning a fish. He's usually all over her wanting for her to be done so he can season it.

She turns back to the fish she's gutting, "He went over to Harry's to help set up apparently there's going to be an early Mariner's game and they wanted to watch the game outside so now we're having a cookout."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh god when are they gonna realize we aren't going to the World Series this year. We got close last year but this year they're slacking."

"Songbird please, you know this cookout is just an excuse for them to get wasted. Especially since Charlie coming over so go get dressed cause as soon as I'm done hear we are going to Harry's."

Holy shit Charlie Swan was coming over to the rez. Normally this wouldn't shock me but apparently him and Billy had this huge blow out over the Cullen's at the start of the summer. Jacob had told me that they weren't talking last I heard so the fact that he was coming over meant they had patched things over. Which also meant Billy was going to be there with the rest of their old man squad.

I went upstairs to my room to get dressed it had been weirdly hot for the past week. I figured I'd wear this summer dress I had since we were probably going to be outside all day. It wasn't anything special it was a short navy dress with little white flowers all over. I put my hair into a low ponytail, and I go downstairs to find my shoes.

I look over to the kitchen to see my mom packing up the fish. I put on my shoes outside on the porch to wait for my mom. It didn't take to long for her to come out, we walked to Uncle Harry's since dad had the car.

Once we walked in Leah bolted from the couch to drag me to her room. On our way there Seth came out to greet me, but Leah pushed him back into his room and slammed the door on him.

"Aw Leah why'd you have to do that." He whined from the other side of his door.

"Seth, I need Addie for something so leave us alone you're not gonna be alone anyways your boyfriend is coming over soon."

"Leah stop telling people Jake is my boyfriend!"

"Then stop kissing his ass or I wouldn't have to, come on Addie." She grabs my arm pulling me into her room. I sit down on her bed as she locks her door.

"So, I just wanted to know when you became a party girl." She says with her arms crossed leaning against her door.

"The fuck are you talking about I've only been to one party recently. It's not like I'm going out every night and getting wasted."

"Addie I just want to hear from you what happened at Kyle's bonfire. Since his friend's cousin is trying to convince his friends how close he was to fucking you. So, spill and don't leave anything out."

"Leah come on do I really need to relive that night."

"Yea I also gotta know if that string bean really knocked that idiot out."

"Well he did, one punch and he was down."

"Shit…I didn't know he had enough muscle to do that I guess miracles do happen."

I get up from that bed, "Is that all you wanted to talk about how some gross guy basically groped me in front of everyone and had his ass handed to him by Jacob."

She shakes her head and walks towards me having me sit down on the bed again with her joining me. "Look Addie I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I've been distant…"

"No Leah don't you don't have to apologize for that I get it."

"No Adeline I do I already lost one sister I don't want to lose another by pushing you away because of something you didn't even do. I want it to be like how it was before, I just want my baby sister back."

"Leah I never went away, and I promise not matter what happens I'll never leave you side. We're like sisters…only closer." I grin at her.

"Fuck you would make a SpongeBob reference. You're lucky I missed you, you bitch or else I would ignore you for that."

"Aww you missed me come here Lee." I get her into a strong hug which she always tries to force herself out of but this time she actually hugged me back.

"Yea whatever so, what have you been up to since Kim left?"

"I've just been hanging out with Jacob…"

"Just you two what about the other two stooges."

"Um they've been grounded for awhile its just been me and Jake, hopefully they'll be able to hang with us before summer ends."

"Please you love having him to yourself."

"That's not true."

"Whatever you say…Mrs. Black…" Giving me a knowing smile.

My face felt like it was burning from embarrassment, "You swore you'd never mention that again."

She laughs as she continued, "Mrs. Adeline Black…Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Black." She falls back onto the bed laughing even harder that bitch.

"Shut the hell up I was like ten when I wrote that stuff!"

There's a knock on the door having us both look up at the door, "Leah did you hit your brother with the door!"

"No mom he's being dramatic!"

"Leah unlock this door!"

With that our little chat was over after Aunt Sue was done lecturing Leah on being nicer to Seth. We were put to work. My job was to put all the beer in the big cooler and fill it with ice while Leah was sent to the store. Seth was out in the back with the dads, Uncle Harry had been trying to get him to learn his secret fish fry recipe, but Seth still had trouble getting over the sliminess of the fish. I'd rather be doing that than dragging this damn cooler which I had to do since one of the wheels fell off.

As I open the back door to push the cooler down the few steps that led to the back yard. I hear my dad shout out a greeting, I straighten up to look over to see who it was. It was Billy and Jacob.

Billy is holding onto a twelve pack of beer on his lap as Jacob pushed him closer to the men, "I see you boys have already set up the TV."

"Of course, we wanted to make sure it was hooked up right before the game started wouldn't want to miss anything." My uncle says cleaning his hands to take the beers off Billy's hands.

My dad asks with a serious look on his face, "Did you two drive over here?"

"How else were we going to get here my chair wouldn't be able to make it plus Jacob knows how to drive might as well make him my chauffeur." Jacob rolls his eyes at his dad's comment.

"Just make sure Charlie doesn't get wind of it." God does my dad have to always be such a stick in the mud.

Billy grins ignoring my dad's tone, "I can take him I'll just roll over his ankles." He says making uncle Harry laugh.

I get back to the cooler, looking at the cooler and back at the stairs. I determine I'd mostly likely break something if I try lifting it down. So, I decide to push it down I mean it's only four steps what real damage can that do.

It took me a few pushes to start getting some traction as the cooler went down the stairs so did I. My body skidded down the stairs with the cooler.

I hear frantic footfalls approach me, I lift up my head from the dirt looking up I saw my dad, Jacob, and Seth staring at me horrified. Jake and Seth push the cooler aside as my dad starts to help me up. As I started to get up, I felt stinging on my arms and legs.

My dad carefully puts his arm around trying to avoid any injuries I might have, "Songbird look at me are you alright?" I nodded my head trying not to look at anyone. Fuck this was embarrassing. "Seth go get your mother, Jacob get some of that ice and put it on her legs."

Seth goes running into the house yelling, "Mom! Addie almost died on the stairs come help!"

Aunt Sue and my mom come rushing outside to see what's going. She looks at the abandoned cooler and focuses her attention on me making my dad go to the side. Luckily all I got was a few scratches on my arms and legs which I'll get some bruising on them since they hurt like hell. She said either by tonight or tomorrow morning I'll get to see the full extent of my bruising.

After my little show everyone went back to setting up expect me since my new job was to "sit and look pretty" as ordered by Billy.

So, I hung around Billy while everyone else was being a busy bee. I love talking with Billy he always had a story ready to tell for every situation. Like now he was telling me about the time Jacob had fallen flat on his ass and was constantly falling back down on the icy floor. Apparently, he had been so excited about Bella being back he ran towards Charlie's house as soon as he got off of the car slipping on their icy driveway.

To Charlie's horror Bella ran to Jake to help him up but she ended up falling too. So, now there was two kids on the icy driveway trying to desperately to get up. Charlie had managed to pick Bella off the ground meanwhile Jacob had to army crawled to the stairs.

Jacob always gets annoyed when Billy tells me stories about him. Claiming they are all embarrassing which they are, but I loved them. What really pisses him off is when Billy starts to bust out his baby album which had two full pages of a naked baby Jacob. He ended up hiding the album, but Billy had pictures of him and his sisters in his wallet to show people how cute his son was.

It was finally game time, and everyone was out back. The old men were getting wasted as the game progressed. Aunt Sue tried to slow down uncle Harry's drinking, but he insisted he was fine. Leah and I were inside laying down on the couch not wanting to be around our drunk dads.

Jacob and Seth had gone to go rally with the rest of the dumbasses who apparently were free men. So, now it was just us two and there wasn't really much to do with Leah labelling me as dead weight.

I'm not sure how much time had gone by since we had fallen asleep, but we were woken up by someone loudly slamming the door open.

"Where's my favorite Clearwater at!" I lift myself up to look over the couch to see Quil standing by the door with a huge grin on his face. Embry walks in behind giving me a small smile, "Hey Addie."

"Fuck Quil this isn't your house do you have to be so loud." Oh Quil, his first taste of freedom and he's already dealing with an annoyed Leah.

"Oh man Jake you didn't tell us she was gonna be here."

Jacob now coming in with a plastic bag in his hand, "Dude it's her house where did you expect her to be."

"Great all I needed was the dumbass squad here to really make this a party." Leah not wanting to deal with Quil, gets up from the couch to get her car keys.

"Sorry about Quil, Leah, we'll try to control him." Embry trying to reassure her.

"Please that's like asking for a miracle to happen I'll see you guys, hopefully never." She says rushing out of the door.

Seth watching his sister walk out he turns to Quil with a pout on his face, "Look what you did you ran my sister out." He says as he then goes out to try and convince Leah to come back inside.

"Hey all I did was walk in! I didn't do anything to her!" He defends himself while raising his arms up.

"Yea, and you complaining about her being here was nothing." Embry shoots back at him, he didn't have to same dislike towards Leah like Quil did. If anything, he'd tried befriending her but being Jake and Quil's best friend she automatically labelled him as being immature.

Jacob just shook his head at them walking over to me, "Anyways we stopped by Embry's mom's store and got some ice pops if you want any."

"Sure." He pulls out a box of ice pops from the plastic bag and opens it so that I can get one.

Quil leans over the couch with Embry next to him, "Damn Clearwater Jake wasn't kidding when he said you had ate shit trying to push down a cooler."

"I'm glad my injuries have become a hot topic between you guys."

"Don't worry baby, Doctor Ateara is here now, I'll have you fixed up in no time."

"I'd rather have the plugged pulled if you're my doctor."

"Burn!" Embry snickered earning him a shove from Quil.

Having them here had me realized I had kind of missed them. Something I'd never admit…well at least to Quil. Seeing them joke around like we always did with each other had me assume that Jacob hasn't told them of our kiss.

It had been a week since that kiss. The day after it happened, when we went on our coffee run, we had agreed to keep it to ourselves. We figured it might get weird between the four of us if Embry and Quil found out.

Not that it really mattered because Jake and I's relationship hadn't changed. We still hung out at his garage, drove around La Push, and joked like we always did. Nothing had really changed it was like that kiss had never happened.

Even though I was over the moon that he had wanted me as his first kiss. I had hoped that he would start seeing me as more than just his best friend Addie. Surprisingly enough I wasn't upset that he hadn't show any signs of wanting more with me.

That was something I was afraid of once he had left home. But when he came over the next day to check on me that fear went away. He was still the same Jacob, who goes out of his way to make sure I was happy.

As long as I had Jacob's love whether it was romantic or not, I was more than happy to have it.
