Jacob, My Jacob
I nervously paced my room while I waited for Jacob to get here. I wasn't pacing long before I saw the lights of the Rabbit in the street outside of my window. I raced down the stairs, taking them two at a time. I reached the last step just as Jacob opened the door and took his first step inside. I sprinted to him, jumping into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist, and burying my face into his neck. I squeezed my arms around his neck as tight as I could. He wrapped his arms under my legs still locked around him and chuckled. His infectious laugh made me smile. I looked into his dark brown eyes. This is what I wanted. Jacob was what I wanted. I could feel the warmth seeping from his skin through my clothes. I freed one of my hands from around his neck and touched his cheeked. He leaned into my hand and closed his eyes.
"Jacob…" I began until I heard the slam of the cruiser door in the front yard. Damn it Charlie, great timing.
Jacob slowly and regretfully set me on the ground as Charlie walked through the front door.
"Bella! Oh my God I was so worried about you! You are in big, huge, gigantic trouble young lady! What were you doing?!" Charlie was fuming. There was literally steam coming out of his ears and his face was as red as a candied beat.
"It's a long story, dad," I answered, staring at my shoes. I did not want to get into it with Charlie right now. All I wanted was to spend time with Jacob and repair what I had done to him.
"Well you better start explaining then" he was not going to let me off the hook easily.
"Angela wanted to get away for a few days. Kind of like a mini vacation. It was a spontaneous thing. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before hand but I was kidnapped!" I choked out a fake laugh at my attempt of a joke. Jacob just stared out the window. I knew he was still hurt about the real reason I left.
"Well I guess I can believe that. Angela is very commanding when she wants to be" he said sarcastically with a smirk.
"You got that right. Hey is it alright if I go to Jacob's for a little while? I've missed him since I've been gone" I gave Jake a nudge with my arm. He continued to stare out the window with that same vacant look on his face. I knew Charlie would let me go. Charlie loved Jacob. He knew he was my savior that rescued me from the deep depression I was drowning in when Edward left. What I wasn't so sure of was if Jacob still wanted me to come.
"That's fine with me. Have a good time. Don't be home too late" he replied with a smile slowly spreading over his mouth.
"Thanks dad" I said in a sing-song voice. I turned to Jacob and tried to playfully push him out of the door which didn't even budge him an inch. He looked down at me. I could see the hurt in his eyes. He didn't like it that I lied to Charlie, but he knew I didn't have a choice. He took my hand and opened the door. He lead me into the chilly air. I closed the door behind me, and stiffly got into the passenger seat of the Rabbit. The car came to life with a gravely growl, and we were on our way to La Push, my sanctuary.
