Chapter twenty four: round one.
Jacob was awake before I was. He came into my room wearing only a towel, his hair dripping yet. I bit my lip as he looked so desirable standing in front of me. Jacob seemed to notice and dropped the towel and stood like a prince in front of me. I grabbed my pillow, shielding my eyes so I wouldn't be tempted.
I ran out the room before he could try anything with me and noticed my mother cooking french toast for breakfast. She smiled at me and placed the plate of bacon in front of me.
"Did Jacob flash you?" Kelsey asked.
I looked at her with a puzzled look. "How did you know?" I nibbled on the bacon.
"It was my idea. He told me everything this morning. You guys have a lot of drama,"
My heart started beating hard against my chest. Did Jacob tell her that he's a werewolf and how he is at war with real vampires? Or did he come up with some weird scenario that I have no clue about and if she asks me anything about it, she's going to know something is up. Why didn't Jacob inform me about any of this?
"What did he tell you?" I grabbed another piece of bacon.
"How he and Edward can't get along because of past history with Bella. Boys am I right? They are so protective over women and when one challenge comes along they go insane!" She placed two pieces of french toast in front of me. "I just don't understand honey. I thought you would have turned Jacob into a protester of war but he told me how he is going to fight Edward. You have so much on your hands,"
I let out a sigh of relief. Thank god he didn't say anything without telling me. "Yeah, I tried mom but he loves to fight,"
"And your actually dating him?" She chuckled. "I'll never understand you Avril,"
"That's because your older and forgot how to be a teenager,"
She chuckled. "Really? I'm pretty sure I can still be one if I wanted to," She smiled wide. "I bet you ten bucks I can down a whole glass of chocolate milk faster than you,"
"Oh your on!"
The two of us raced around the kitchen making ourselves chocolate milk to begin the bet. We agreed on no straws since it would be easier then. Kelsey counted down to three and we chugged out milk as fast as we could.
It was a tie till we reached the last bit of chocolate milk. I noticed my mom squint her eyes and her forehead crease, she contracted a brain freeze. She started to struggle to finish the last bit and I ended up winning, finishing my last gulp as she had only two sips left.
Jacob came out of the bedroom when we finished. I was laughing hysterically as my mother held on to her head, waiting for the brain freeze to disappear.
"Ha! You owe me ten dollars! Pay up mama!" I squealed in excitement.
She stuck her tongue out at me and handed me a ten dollar bill.
"What did I miss?" Jacob asked putting his long wet hair into a pony tail.
"Avril here thought I didn't know how to be a teenager, so we made a little bet and she won," Kelsey said as I pocketed the money.
I nodded. "She honestly thought she could drink chocolate milk faster than me. No one cane beat me,"
Jacob laughed. "I'll get you next time. But your cell phone went off in the bedroom. It was Carlisle, were going to meet him on the border of La Push and Forks in the forest,"
"Great, what time?"
"Around five,"
"Okay, you can go. I'm not going to be there,"
Jacob frowned. "Come on, can't you support me and watch me kick Edwards ass?"
I glared at him. My mother sucked in her breath and knew the conversation was getting heated. She grabbed her plate of breakfast and headed to her room so she didn't have to hear us fight.
"You know damn well I am not going to support any of this! Have you still not understood!? I hate fighting, violence in general! If you really want to fight him go ahead, but I will not be there. Get your other friends to watch you,"
He had nothing to say and just stared at me. I didn't know if he was sad or mad at me with the blank expression on his face. Maybe all he wanted to know was that I was there for him and no one else regardless of what he's doing.
"Jacob," I said quietly, debating if I should hug him or not.
He looked up at me with such a hurt expression. I threw my arms around his neck and nuzzled my head in his chest.
"I'm sorry," I apologized.
Jacob wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead. We stared into each others eyes for a moment, not wanting to say a word.
"I'm still doing it whether you want to be there or not. I'll have Emily tell you all about it," He stated smirking.
I glared at him. "Just so you know, when the fighting starts I will be highly pissed off at you, Edward, and all the vampire's and werewolf's in the world for actually letting you guys go along with this,"
Jacob frowned. "Can't I get any good word from you? A little encourgement-" He put his hands up in defense as I glared after he said encouragement. "Or a kiss for good luck?"
I shook my head. "Nothing. This is all so wrong. You two are immature. There is a better way to handle this,"
He looked at the floor then back at me. "Fine, then I'm going to leave. Sam wants to talk anyways. Emily wanted to see you but I guess you don't want to be near any of us,"
For being younger than me, Jacob is very smart. He knew exactly what to say to make me go from completely angry to hating myself for making people disappointed. Emily is a good friend, and I barely get too see her so now the chance she can see me, I won't be there. But this is completely reasonable. I refuse to be apart of violence.
Jacob headed to the front door and I followed him. My mother watched us like we were a movie. For some reason she has always been so fascinated by what me and my friends do. Its like another world or culture to her.
"If you see you, give her my number and tell her to stop by. I'll be at home by myself all day anyways," I said opening the front door for him.
"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow then," Jacob said standing in the middle of the door.
"Yeah,"
"I love you Avril," Jacob called over his shoulder as he started to walk away.
"Love you to," I mumbled.
Kelsey watched as I slammed the front door closed and went straight to the TV. She grabbed two glasses of wine and sat next to me.
I took the glass and chugged down the wine. She nodded her head and went back to the kitchen. It sounded like she was making margaritas, if so, I could really use them.
Just like I suspected she came back with two strawberry margartias. My mother always knew the right time to start drinking just enough to forget everything but still be in control of our own self's.
One time though, we got really drunk and ended up locking my father out of the house for four hours because he was a male. We loved the girl time and having a guy around just wasn't something we wanted for awhile. He still hasn't forgiven us for it, no wonder they got a divorce. We were so mean to the poor guy.
"Honey," My mother started. "After witnessing that I think its time to have our margarita night huh? It seems like we could use one since we both have had a bit of trouble in our lives. So grab the drink and start sipping. The fun is about to begin!" She rose her class high so we could drink to her speech.
I clanked our glasses together. "Right on mom!"
And with that we both started to sip away at the alcoholic beverage and talked about everything.
It was around eight at night when my phone started to buzz like crazy. I missed four calls from Bella, one from Edward, and ten from a number I didn't even know. My mom and I were having so much fun I didn't even realize my phone was in my bedroom.
I called Bella back first she was the most reasonable one. She answered right away.
"Avril! What have you been doing? I have been trying to get a hold of you for the past three hours!" Bella complained. She sounded scared and antsy.
"Sorry," I slurred. "Me and my mom have been drinking margaritas. Its hard to remember where I had my phone last. What's up? You sound worried?"
There was a pause before she decided to talk to me again.
"Jacob is hurt! Edward beat the hell out of him! But he wouldn't fight back. Jacob just stood there and ordered Edward to punch him! Sam said he was talking to Jacob earlier and said he seemed depressed about something. Did you two fight?"
Oh my gosh. Jacob must have been really hurt about what I said. He even asked for a good luck kiss but I gave him nothing. What kind of girlfriend is mean to her boyfriend like that? I should slap myself for being such a bitch.
"Bella, where are you?" I asked.
"At Jacob's house. No one is allowed to see Jacob besides Sam and Billy,"
"I-I-I'm com-" I didn't have a chance to finish my sentence for I fell face first into the floor.
I fell by trying to put a sneaker on standing up and holding a cell phone, who does that? Oh yeah, I feel drunk maybe I would.
"What happened!?" Bella yelled on the phone. "Are you okay!? Please come quick, Jacob needs you!"
I giggled. "Don't worry Bella. I fell trying to put a shoe on. I'll be there soon,"
There was a short pause. "Are you capable to drive?"
I thought for a moment. "Maybe,"
"Ugh," she said on the other line.
She started to talk to other people around her instead of me. I played with my peace necklace around my neck while I waited.
"Edward is coming to get you. Be ready," Bella ordered me.
"I can drive!" I yelled at her.
"Your drunk!" She screamed back. "Now you will get in the car with Edward and get down here. Jacob needs you!"
With that she hung up on me. My mom was now in my doorway, which scared the crap out of me. She just popped up out of nowhere!
She looked at me cautiously and then rocked back and forth on her heels. I knew she was wasted since the only time she did that was when she was. We stared at each other with blank expressions without saying a word. It was like we were talking through our minds but we weren't at the same time.
I heard a car door in the driveway and grabbed my pink hoodie from the closet. Kelsey handed me the rest of her drink before going into her room and passing out on her bed. My mother drank fifteen margaritas, the woman was passed shit faced.
Edward came storming into my house. I glared at him and slowly walked towards him.
"You are a mess," He said looking over me once.
I didn't think I looked too bad, my hair was just messy and my make up was a little ruined but not to the exception of looking like a mess. What ever who cares, he beat my boyfriend, I should yell at him.
"If you don't come to the car, I will pick you up and force you to come with," Edward demanded.
I crossed my arms over my chest. "You hurt Jacob. I do not like you mister. Your a meanie pants,"
He shook his head, pulling me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I went limp when he carried me, I had no energy what so ever to struggle. Edward is however a vampire and stronger than metal, I would have no chance of beating him.
We arrived at Jacob's in minutes. I almost forgot how fast Edward loved to drive in his Volvo. Bella was outside pacing back and forth. She glared at me as I stumbled up to her, grinning from ear to ear.
"Bella! You are so gorgeous. I wish I was as pretty as you," I said forgetting completely why we were at Jacob's.
Bella grabbed my face with both her hands. "Your like a child Avril. Go to your boyfriend please, Edward and I are not allowed inside once you get here. You'll see Sam but he's going to leave right away too. Jacob requested that it was only you and him in the house,"
"Billy to?"
She shook her head. "No, Billy is with Charlie. They have other business to take care of,"
"Like?" I continued to ask questions.
"Nothing, now get inside!"
Bella gave me a big push and forced me into Jacob's home. I noticed Sam sitting on the couch and he nodded before leaving the entire house leaving me alone in the living room.
I went straight to Jacob's room and noticed him sprawled out on his bed. He glanced up at me and I noticed a chunk of his skin was missing on his shoulder, Edward must have bit him really hard.
"Jake?" I asked.
I took one step closer to him, not looking where I was going and fell face first into the floor. A pair of old shoes is what tripped me. Jacob jumped from the bed and helped me up, smelling alcohol on me rather quickly.
"You've been drinking Avril," Jacob said sounding disappointed.
"And you got your ass kicked," I replied looking at him more.
Jacob had three scratched down his chest starting from his left shoulder down to his hip, the bite mark on his right shoulder, a black eye which seemed to be healing quickly, and his knuckles had dried blood on them. I jumped into his arm, forcing us back on his bed.
He chuckled as I started kissing his face all over whispering "sorry" between every kiss. Jacob cupped the side of my cheek and kissed my lips softly.
"I'm fine Avril, don't worry," He started looking deeply into my eyes. "You missed one hell of a fight,"
I shook my head in confusion. Didn't Bella tell me that Edward did all the damage and he just stood there? Was I missing something or too drunk too pay enough attention.
"Bella said you just stood there and let Edward murder you. What really happened?" I asked straddling his lap, waiting patiently for the real story.
"Actually that's a lie. After the fight no one could get a hold of you so we all started to get worried, well mostly me, so when you finally called and I learned you were drunk I came up with a little white lie to see what would happen," Jacob explained trying to look innocent.
Don't get mad Avril, it was just a little prank. Enjoy being drunk, you won't remember this in the morning.
"I don't care anymore Jacob. Do whatever you want, just no more fighting please. I can see you lost and good, you learned your lesson. But I'm drunk and getting horny so you have to make it up to me for lying,"
Jacob looked stunned. "That's it? I lie to you and all you want to do is have sex? Tell me again why your not screaming at me?"
"One word honey, Alcohol,"
He smiled. "Well cheers to that and I'm sorry for fighting and lying. We had to stop the fight anyways because my father came along. He heard from Sam what we were planning and called it off just as I was starting to win. Edward did his damage which will heal by the morning and I got a few good swings in,"
I shook my head. "No more fighting though right?"
"Well maybe a round two. No one won yet,"
"You are impossible Mr. Black," I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, bringing us a little closer. "But there is only one thing on my mind which is making me forget about all of this and you better fuck me now or I will go home being single,"
Jacob grinned. "Yes ma'am!"
