Chapter 30: Saturday Mornings Part 2
Jacob was standing there smiling down at me brightly and I just sat there completely surprised that he was here. What was he doing here? Okay awkward question coming on.
"Jacob it's not that i'm not happy to see you but can ask why are you in front of my house?" I asked him and hopefully it didn't come out rude. He looked down at me with realization on his face then looked over to my neighbor's house.
When I turned my head I saw that there were two older men talking and laughing outside by a police car and a blue truck. One of them was in a wheelchair and he had similar features to Jacob the other had short brunette hair and a mustache. After I saw them I quickly realized who I was looking at and I nearly made a surprised expression on my face but when Jacob had turned back towards me I put on a covered it up and smiled.
"So yeah remember when I told you my dad and me comes around chief Swan's house a lot. So don't worry because i'm not stalking you or anything." He laughed.
"Oh! I wasn't worried about that I was just curious." I said then I glanced over at Charlie and Billy. A couple of months ago I would have gone hysterical seeing these three people in one place, thankfully now I have a sense of normally.
"I'm surprised that this is our first time meeting since the beach we come over often since my dad and chief Swan are BFFs." He said with a joking smile and laughed at how he describe their relationship, you would think that they were two teenage girls. And as if to further prove his point Charlie and Billy started playing around like they were going to hit each other and we laughed as we watched them.
"They're definitely BFFs." I joked and Jacob nodded his head at me as his laughed turned into a chuckle.
"So what are you still doing home on a Saturday?" He asked me and I shrugged before I answered his question.
"I've got nothing to do and no where to be." I said simply. Jacob looked at with a really curious expression that caused me to look at him strangely."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked and he raised his eyebrows.
"Hmm." He said with a contemplative expression that made me laugh.
"What?"I said laughing.
"I understand that you are in a situation and i'm going to help you through it." He said with a face that was almost serious.
"I'm in a situation? What situation?" I asked him completely interested in what he had to say. He gestured with his hand to a spot on the porch next to me asking my permission to sit there. "Go ahead." I said.
"Of course you're in a situation. Someone like you at home on a Saturday, you would subjected to boredom. But don't worry i'm here to save you." He said with a small joking smile then he looked away from my front yard to me. I should have taken the hint that he might've been coming on to me but I was distracted by something that he said.
"What do you mean a girl like me?" I asked with a questioning smile on my face.
"You know..." He hinted as he lifted his eyebrows and leaned his head towards me. My eyebrows scrunched themselves together because I was confused to what he was trying to say.
"No...I don't know." I said shaking my head slowly. What was he talking about? He had just opened his mouth to say something when someone called his name.
"Hey Jake! Come here for a second." We both turned our heads to see that it was Billy who had called him over.
"Alright!" Jacob shouted back to him. Then he turned back to me with an apologetic expression. 'Could you wait here for a second?" He asked.
"Sure." I responded and he gave me a bright smile before he got up from his place next to me and jogged over to his dad and Charlie. They started talking casually then I saw Billy reach up and shove Charlie before they shared a laugh. After several seconds later Billy and Charlie looked straight at me with a wide smile. I felt a little shy so I ducked my head and gave them both a nervous wave. The both of them were still smiling at me when they gave me a nod and then they turned back to Jacob who had been making stopping gestures with his hand and then he started rubbing his forehand but both of the older men just looked entirely amused by him.
When Jacob turned around to smile and wave at me Charlie and Billy started mimicking him behind his back. I hid my laughter behind a small tight smile and waved back at him before he turned around missed what Charlie and his Dad had did. I shook my head and laughed before had I looked down at the ice and dirt below my feet. When I looked back up I saw Jacob jogging back over to me he was trying to cover up the embarrassed look on his face with a small smile. Poor guy.
Instead of sitting back down next to me he came and stood right in front of me seeming to be even more embarrassed then he was when he jogged over. When I looked up at him I gave him peculiar expression. Was I missing something?
"My dad wants to meet you." He said with a big sheepish smile. Oh so that's how this is going to go.
"Can I ask how did I come up in a conversation with your dad?" I asked him after I got up to dust the back of my pants off, then we started to walk slowly over to my neighbor's driveway. Jacob had shrugged nonchalantly before he answered my question.
"I don't know I think my old man is becoming crazy everyday." He said and I laughed at how grumpy he sounded.
When we reached Billy and Charlie Jake put his head down a little and both of the 'adults' just smiled and looked between Jacob and I. I hope that they don't think that Jacob and I are crushing on each other because I will shut that thought down so quickly...But i'll also be nice about it. My thoughts were put to a stop when Jake's dad spoke to me.
"So, your name is Jessica?" He asked in an interested way.
"Yes...Sir." I said a little unsure. Why am I so nervous right now?
"Sir?" He questioned and gave Charlie a look before he turned back to me."I don't look that old do I?" He asked me with a smile. I didn't mean it that way I just said what ever sounded most polite.
"No, not at all." I said shaking my head with a shy smile, I know that he was just kidding with me but still... When I glanced over at Charlie I noticed that even he was getting a kick out of this.
"Oh son she has such a sweet voice and she's so respectful. I can see why you-" Billy was quickly interrupted by Jacob.
"Dad really? Come on!" He said defensively and smiled at silly he was being. This is definitely not what I expected to happen at all today.
"Okay, okay. I just wanted to meet her." Billy told Jacob and Charlie started to laugh. Then Billy looked away from his son to me.
"You must forgive me, it is a father's duty to thoroughly embarrass his son until he's thirty." he explained and I laughed much to Jacob's expense.
"That's very understandable." I joked and both him and Charlie laughed.
"Good, you have more of a sense of humor then Jacob. My name is Billy Black, you can call me Billy." He said holding out his hand for me to shake which I did. His hand felt as warm and welcoming as he looked and that just made this meeting all the more comfortable. "And of course you met your neighbor Charlie." He said and we looked at each other.
"No."I said at the same time he said "Yes." What? I looked him confused because I didn't remember meeting him.
"I think it was a week after your family moved in. When I said hello and you kind of ran away..." He said and everybody looked straight at me as I tried to remember what he was talking about. And then I did...
~Flashback~
It was Monday morning and an entire week had passed since I moved to Forks. I was sitting in the kitchen just finishing off my cereal thinking about all of the possible ways things could go wrong today. I was at number 56: Mike walks by and falls right in front of me then the tip of his fingernail scratches me deeply enough to draw blood. Edward then looks over had me menacingly and tackles me to the ground and sucks me dry like a thirsty child does a sippy cup. Ah! I need some fresh air, I thought getting up from my chair.
"Jesse are you going outside?" My mom asked me as she came downstairs.
"Yeah." I said. I was about several feet from the front door.
"Then could you take the trash out while you're out side?" She asked. Of course she would ask me to do that right now! I'm a minute away from a breakdown and she would ask me to take the trash out! How am I suppose to concentrate carrying trash!? They are two totally different things!
"Okay mom." I sighed.
"Thanks sweety." She said and we both went back to the kitchen where I got the trash and she had started to make herself a bowl of cereal with sugar on top. It was a habit of hers, something about they didn't frost flakes like they use to.
After I went outside I breathed in the cold air for a moment before I started to get deep in thought about my character, I did it even with the trash my hand! I headed over to the end of the drive way to the two trash cans that stood said by side that belonged to us and our neighbor.
It was just that I didn't feel rehearsed enough in how to react to Edward, he was returning today and I could not help but feel willing to jump off the edge of the Earth. Oh god why did this have to happen to me!? A dream come true turned nightmare! I thought as I slammed the trash into the trash can and then I threw on its' top.
"Uh Hello." Someone said a couple of feet beside me. Because I didn't expect it I jump up a little. Then I quickly turned towards the voice to see that it was a middle aged man wearing a police uniform and had a mustache. He looks familiar...please don't be a known character from Twilight. I hope I just can't take another right now, I'm even completely mentally prepared to see Edward yet.
"You and your family moved in last week right?" He asked and I just nodded. "Well welcome to Forks. I'm Charlie Swan, also known as Chief Swan." He said then my eyes widened and the world turned. Bell's dad...I blinked my eyes rapidly and started to feel light headed as Charlie gave me an odd expression.
"I gotta go..." I said shakily. Then I turned around and ran back into my house. I believe after that I blacked out onto my living room couch forr awhile. I stayed there until my mom woke me up because my dad was oh so patiently waiting outside bumping the horn in the car for me.
~End of Flashback ~
I thought that was dream...
"Oh, I remember now. I'm sorry I wasn't really feeling well that day. But now can officially meet." I said.
"Alright." He said and then he held out a his hand to me."Charlie Swan." He said and then I took his hand and shook it.
"Jessica Jones." I said and then we let go. Wow Bella's dad...Was Bella really as plain looking as the books had described because her dad looked kind of hot- weird thought, weird thought! Stop it!
I hope that I wasn't staring at him, it was strange to stand in front of someone who is the father of the girl whose suppose to be in my place. And although I wasn't worried about Edward getting to close anymore I still knew a lot about the most honest person in the entire book and that bothered me. I know that it is because of me he doesn't have a certain daughter in that house with him right now... Wait second! It's John's fault! I can't believe I almost blamed myself for that. For all I know Bella doesn't even exist in the universe!
"You okay?" Jake asked and I was snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him.
"Yeah. Yeah i'm okay." I said.
"Anyway Jessica," Billy started." We're going fishing and Jake told me that he was going to stay with you." Billy said and I lifted my eyebrows.
"Oh I didn't know that." I said looking at Jacob. I thought they were casually visiting, not going on a fishing trip together. And I really didn't know the Jacob was going to stay with me.
"I was going to tell you that but you interrupted me." Jacob explained.
"Lucky for you i'm okay with it." I said.
"But will your parents mind?" Charlie asked me and I gave him an honest answer.
"They won't as long as we just stay outside." I said. Yet, I wasn't planning on staying outside long, i'm getting cold.
"Yeah you see Charlie, dad everything's alright." Jacob said.
"Okay, then we'll be back in a couple of hours. Stay out of trouble you two." Billy said before he rolled himself around the police car to the passenger side of his blue truck.
"See you two later, and be responsible." Charlie had said to both of us before he got into the driver's side. Then we watched as he started the car, left the driveway and drove down the street. When the truck was out of sight we both looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Oh my god." I said when we turned around to walk back to my porch.
"That was pretty uncomfortable." He said with smile.
"And at the same time really funny." I said laughing.
"If you say so." He said smiling at me as we sat down together. Then I looked at Jacob questioningly.
"So did you blow off fishing just to hang out with me? Or do you just really hate fishing.
"I don't hate fishing but hanging out with you seemed a lot more fun." He said honestly.
"Good...so do you want to come inside for some hot chocolate?" I asked gesturing to my house with my thumb. Jacob looked at me and then he smiled.
"I thought you said your parents wouldn't mind that I was here as long as we didn't go inside the house." He said.
"I know but i'm starting to freeze, and it's not like we're going to do anything bad." I said.
"Alright." He said and then we both got up to walk into the house. After I opened the door I looked back at him.
"Let's head back outside after we get warm." I said to him. When we were inside the hallway I stepped in front of him and led him to the kitchen.
