I reach Emily and Sam's house in a rush. Emily was waiting on her porch a worried expression on her face. She saw me running for her and turned to stone. "Why are you here?" She was very unhappy but I understood why, she wasn't on the beach.
"I'm here to help you cook for everybody. I can explain the rest as we do that, if that's alright with you." I answered hopeful. She then looked passed me and nodded. I turned to see Sam nodding to her.
"Come on in. We're making burgers and hot dogs." She explained walking through the door. I loved Emily's house it was small, quaint, and cute. "If you could make the potato salad while I finish the meet I would appreciate it." And I got to work. Soon after that I explained everything to her. Emily would nod occasionally to let me know she was listening.
After everything was cooked the pack came tumbling in. Sam came and gave Emily a hug and kiss. They were happy together. Then I felt a pair of warm arms creeping around my waist. It took maybe a moment to know it Jake. His chin rested on my shoulder. I turned in his arms facing him. Looking into his eyes I forgot all about the people around us. He leaned down as I stood on my tip toes. Our lips met and the fireworks started again. I hope that this feeling never ends. "Man that's gross. I was hoping she wouldn't be a kissy person. Jake come on man." Seth exclaimed. We broke apart and chuckled at the boy.
"And for that comment you get to eat last." Emily said giggling in Sam's arms.
"Come on Emily that is so not cool." Seth grumbled. "Everyone's going to eat all the food."
"Well its ladies first anyways." She said looking at me, "Don't be shy, you helped make it."
"Okay." No one had to tell me twice. I was starving from the journey.
Everyone had food and sitting around the living room talking. "So Emily, why do you make dinner so late?" I was truly curious it had to be about two a.m.
"Well everybody gets hungry after patrolling. The hour stop really mattering as long as I got to go to sleep after and there were no complaints about what was made." She explained simply. All the sudden we heard a siren going off. The red and blue lights were going through the window. It took a matter of seconds to know that it was Charlie.
We all walked out of the door in a group, me and Jake leading. Charlie was out of his car and heading our way. I was expecting him to yell at me. I was expecting him to tell me to get in his car. Instead he ran up to me and hugged me.
"Bella, I'm so glad that you're ok. I was so worried about you." He sound relived. He looked at me and I saw the tears in his eyes. I started to cry as well. I felt so bad for making him worry about me. That added on to Harry's death was very over whelming. "Bella where ever you were I don't care. I'm just glad you're back."
"Its ok dad, I'm not going anywhere." I tried to calm him down. It seemed to work since the tears stopped flowing. Mine however hadn't.
"If you'd like I can take you both home sir." I heard Jake say. Charlie simply nodded. The three of us went to dad's cruiser. Dad could've gotten into a lot of trouble for someone else driving it. Though no one would ever say anything. We got to the house quick and easy with no lights or sirens.
"Thank you Jake. You can stay the night if you'd like. I'm sure Bella wouldn't mind too much." Charlie offered.
"Is that ok with you Bella?" Jake asked me.
I nodded my head then said to my dad, "I think I should tell you that Jake and I are together dad." I knew it didn't shock him to much.
"Well I kinda figured. Jake will just have to sleep on the couch. But then again I will be sleeping in tomorrow so I wouldn't know where he slept. Good night kids. Thanks again Jake for the ride home." And with that my dad shocked me. He had approved of Jake and invited him to sleep in my room. I think my dad was just in a really good mood or something because he never did anything like this when I was with Edward.
Jake and I walked up the stairs and to my room. "Let me change into my pj's and I'll be back in a second." Jake nodded his head as I walked out.
I change into my blue Victoria Secret shorts that had Pink on the butt in white and the matching tank top. I put a brush through my hair and braided it. I looked over myself in the mirror. It wasn't the best I've ever looked. I didn't have on make up and my face was red and splotchy from crying. I washed my face to try to get rid of some of it. Luckily it worked. The redness had lessened and so did the splotches. I took a deep breathe and walked to my room. I opened the door to see Jake laying comfortably on my bed.
