"That is Abigail, she is Jared's ex, she moved away when she dumped him." Jacob almost yelled as he grabbed a pair of cut off's out of his draws.
"Why
did she come back? And why here?" Tess asked quietly.
"Because
Jared is out on patrol. Abigail knows nothing about us." Jacob said
with a blank look on his face as he put the cut offs on, he didn't
need a belt to hold them up like Tess did. Jacob sat down on the end
of the bed.
Tess walked over, sat down on his lap and wrapped her
legs around his waist.
"Look at me baby." She cooed softly.
He lifted his head so he was looking straight into her dark brown
eyes.
"We will work through this, I'll go get the others and
you stay here and keep her distracted." She said solemnly.
Jacob
shook his head.
"Why not?"She asked.
"Let me go get
them" he said as he quivered. He held onto Tess tightly, is if she
was about to fall off his lap.
"Fine, just promise you'll be
back ASAP." Tess sighed.
I promise!" Jacob promised as he saw
the dismay in her eyes. He didn't like this at all but he had to be
the one to tell Jared.
Jacob stood up (forgetting that Tess was
around his waist) and Tess clung to his shoulders for dear life.
"Aaaahhh!" she squealed with surprise.
"Ohh, you like
being a little monkey?" Jacob teased. Tess giggled as Jacob swung
from side to side.
"Stop it!"She giggled. He swung her even
further from side to side.
As they got to the door Jacob put Tess
down. Tess frowned and Jacob sighed.
Jacob stepped into the
hallway first. Tess tackled him to the opposite wall.
'Abigail'
could now see them from behind the screen door.
"Back soon!"
he said before wriggling free of Tess's strong hold. He ran out the
front door not looking back, he hated leaving Tess.
Tess turned
to the door looking at 'Abigail'.
Noticing the black strap on
the counter she went and picked it up. She ran out the front
door.
"Jakey, you might need this!" she shouted before
throwing it into the woods.
"Thanks babe, I Love You!" Jacob
shouted back as he caught it.
Tess blew a kiss before walking
into the house. She went to the back door to confront 'Abigail'.
'Abigail' stood there watching her.
