Chapter three

I hummed the annoying song while I listened to Jacob talk about his other friends while he fixed up the first bike. Finally, Bella hit my head. "Ow! What the hell was that for?!" I asked. I dodged her hand as she tried to hit me again for cursing.

"That," Bella said. "Was for that annoying song!"

I smiled. "It's called the annoying song. Oh my word this song is annoying, yes I know it's really annoying now it's gonna be stuck up in my he-ad!" I sang out.

"Sorry," Bella told Jacob. "Anyway, Quil and Embry?" She asked.

"Weird names," I said.

Jacob chuckled. "Quil's a hand-me-down, and I think Embry's named after some soap opera star. I can't say anything, though. They fight dirty if you start on their names. They'll tag team you."

"Good friends." Bella raised an eyebrow.

"I know, right?"

Jacob laughed. "No, they are. Just don't mess with their names."

Just then, a call echoed in the distance. "Jacob?" Someone shouted.

"Is that Billy?" I asked.

"No." Jacob ducked his head. I could tell he was blushing a bit under his brown skin. "Speak of the devil," He mumbled. "And the devil will apear."

"Jake? Are you there?" The shouting was closer.

"Yeah!" Jacob called back.

There was a short silence, then two tall boys strolled around the corner into the shed. One of them was more slender and almost as tall as Jacob. He had his black, chin length hair parted down the middle with one side tuked behind his left ear, the other side hanging loose. The shorter one was more burly. His white T-shirt strained over his well-developed chest, and he seemed gleefully concious of that fact. His hair was so short it was almost a buzz.

Both boys stopped short when they saw me. But hey, I was used to it. Sometimes, I tried to freak people out. It was kinda fun. The tall boys eyes flashed between Jacob and me,the short ones eyes just stayed on me. A slow smile crept across his lips.

"Hey guys," Jacob said, braking the silence.

"Hey Jake," The brawny one said without looking away from me. I had to smile in response, it was only human nature. When I did, he winked at me. "Hey there."

I saw Bella smile out of the corner of my eye. She was always amused when I got un wanted attention. Mostly because I always wanted it.

"Quil, Embry--These are my friends. Bella and Kitty." I was too nervous-- first for me!-- to squeal from Jacob calling me Kitty.

Quil and Embry exchanged a suggestive look. "Charlie's kids, right?" The brawny boy asked, holding out his hand.

"Yep," I said, taking it.

"I'm Quil Ateara. You've gotta be Kitty," He said. I was used to people knowing I was Kat and Bella was Bella. Kat, the strange rebel who seemed like she wanted no part in her family. Bella, average.

I nodded. "Nice to meet you, Quil." He moved over and shook Bella's hand, smiling wide at her.

"Hey Kitty, Bella. I'm Embry, Embry Call-- though you probably already figured that out." He gave a shy smile and waved. He stuck his hand in his jean pocket.

"Nice to meet you both." Bella said.

"So, what're you guys doing?" Quil asked.

"We were gonna fix up these bikes," Jacob said, inaccurately. It seemed bikes was the magic word. All attention was away from me and Bella as the boys went to Jacob's side. They started to ask several questions that I zoned out through. I started to play music in my head, since Bella thought it would be rude to actually play my music. I started to sway slightly as I listened to "Cassie" by Flyleaf. I noticed Bella looking at me funny and I smiled. I was still sitting on the floor next to the bikes while Bella sat in the Rabbit.

Suddenly, she stood up. I decided wherever she was going, I had to go with. And since we were leaving, I could listen to music. I pulled out my iPod and started to actually listen to "Cassie" though I liked the Acoustic version better. Flyleaf was one of the awesome bands where they could play live and sound exactly the same.

Bella talked to Jacob, something about needing to feed Charlie, which meant we were leaving. I paused my music to listen. I noticed Quil and Embry silently discussing us. Sharing gins and nudging each other. I smirked to myself as an idea popped into my head.

"Well, it was nice meeting you two," I said. Embry held his hand out for me to shake, but I took a step forward and full on hugged him. I stood back and smiled.

Bella grabbed my arm. "Time to go!" She said. I laughed and let her pull me.

Okay's, I believe that no one would be truly upset if we did a time skip. So, if you are mad, tell me what we would've missed? Well, a lot. But anyway, this is now Eclipse when Jackass Cullen *Kat doesn't like him much* is back. So just know this. Kat followed Bella unless she was told not to. Which were at the super natural parts. She doesn't know about anything, so don't tell her!

I sat up in one of the hundreds of trees that were in the forest. One of my usual hang outs since Cullen came back. Bella doesn't have any more time for me! Her sister! Just then, I heard someone coming, I paused my iPod and looked down. Hm, funny Jacob would be here.

I took my headphones off and started to blast "More then that" by the Back street boys. It kinda fit Jacob now. He looked up and glared at me.

I swung with my knees on the tree branch and my head upside down. I paused the music. "You know," I said while he tried to walk away. "We don't talk anymore. It makes me sad. It seems I only have friends when I hang out with Bells." He didn't stop, so I released my legs and swung them around in the air so I landed on my feet. I didn't get the nick name "Kat" just because it's in my name.

I jogged to catch up with him. I ran in front of Jacob. "Dude, you're bringing me down!" I exclaimed. "Come on! You won't even smile at me anymore. Wait-- are you depressed?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes and started to walk again. I gasped. "Holy shit, you are! Jacob don't cut! It's a bad thing! It's not a release! Don't believe it!" I shouted.

Jacob turned and I slammed into him. He caught me so I didn't fall, but after I was up, he released his hands. "Go away, Kat. I don't wanna talk to you, I won't ever. Can't you just accept that?!" There seemed to be flames in Jacob's eyes as he yelled at me.

Despite what he said, I moved in and wrapped my arms around him. "What happened to you...?" I whispered.

I could tell Jacob wanted me off, but he didn't touch me. "Kat," Jacob took in a deep breath, and I knew that whatever he was about to say, I wasn't going to like. "Kat," Jacob said again, slowly. "I know how you feel." He said.

I could feel myself freeze. I looked up at him. My mouth was parted slightly as I watched him. Jacob wouldn't look me in the eyes, he looked over to the side at the ground. "I know how you feel, and, well," He bit his lip and took in another breath. "I don't love you." He said quietly.

I was frozen again. I always told Bella that "Poker face" was my theme song. Mostly because nobody, not even her, knew about the feelings I had for Jacob. I never acted different, mostly because I knew he loved Bella. I knew I had no chance with him. That's why I kept it to myself. I can't think of anyway he could ever find out.

I couldn't move, couldn't talk. I could just stare up at Jacob. I opened my mouth wider to talk, but he cut me off. "I don't wanna hear it, okay? I want you to leave." He said quietly. He gripped my arms and forced me to let go. "Just go home, Kat." He mumbled, turning around to walk away.

I wanted to yell. I wanted to run. Hell, I wanted to do a lot of things, but nothing in my body would react. Jacob turned around one last time, continuing to walk away. He shook his head. "Go!" He shouted.

I numbly turned around and began to walk to where I parked the truck. So this is what Bella felt? I thought, climbing in. She's strong....

I started to the car and began to drive blindly, until I came across familiar places that would bring me to my house. When I got there, Cullen's car was in the driveway, so I had to park next to the curb.

I got out of the car and moved inside. I opened the door softly and went to the table before anything. "I'm starting to think I'm psychic," I mumbled, looking down at my drawing. It was the work in progress from yesterday. It was a forest, drawn in blue tones. It made me depressed looking at it. I pulled my iPod back out and switched it from what it was on, to "Sorrow" by Flyleaf. One of my most depressing songs on here.

It's one thing to know you'd be rejected, but actually going through it? That was another. I leaned back in the chair as I heard the raindrops hit the house. It had started in the short time I walked over to the table from the door. I looked out the window.

For some stupid reason beyond me, I got up and went to the door. I opened it slowly and stared out at the rain. I walked over to the edge of our porch, looking out at the forest and all the rain. I rested my elbows on the rail and let the rain hit me. I turned my music up. I rested my head on my hands and stared out.

"Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by!" I sang out. Sure I looked weird standing in the rain singing, but what do I care. "Sorrow lasts, through this night! I'll take this piece of you, and hold for all eternity! For just one second I felt whole! As you flew right, through me!" I sang the chorus, letting the words fill my head.

One moment passed where I thought about what had happened. I knew what happened to Bella. Edward didn't feel like he was good enough so he left. Jacob didn't love me so he shot me down. I started to cry again, and as I did, I thanked the heavens for Forks being the wettest--giggle--place in the U.S.

I wanted to laugh at my thought, I even put the word "Giggle" in it. But I couldn't. I took a deep breath as my music slowed down. I switched around for something better. The only thing I was really in the mood for was depressing or classical. Let's combine them....

I switched on "Wishing you were somehow here again" From Phantom of the Opera. I don't advise you to listen to it. You have to be really odd to like it.

I groaned as my music was too quiet for me to sulk into. I went inside the house, soaking wet, and up into my room. I bet someone was asking for me, but I couldn't hear them. Er--I pretended to not be able to hear them. I wasn't in the mood for human interaction. I trudged up the stairs and into my room. I didn't want to talk to anyone.

I turned my iPod off and put it on my little table beside the bed. I tried to tune out Bella and Lover boy, but it was inevitable.

"Is she okay?" Bella was asking. Probably about, like, I don't know. Shopaholic? Barbie? I don't know. I had given them all nicknames, not giving them the respect of actual names. Well-- accept for Emmet. One, I don't have a name to match him, and two, I have no personal objection to him. His company is okay, I guess...

There was Edward, Lover boy. Alice, Shopaholic. Rosalie, Barbie, that one was too easy. Jasper, Jazzberry. Then, Dr. Sparkly, self explanatory. I didn't have one for the mom, didn't really care much for her.

I snapped back into reality. "I'm not sure. She seems...Very depressed." Lover boy replied.

"I feel so bad. I know how she feels..." I shot up. A smirk across my lips. They were talking about me. I got up and exited my room.

I walked over to Bella's door, knocked three times, and walked right in. I moved over to her bed, where her and the idiot were sitting. Before saying anything to Bella, I shot a glare at Cullen. "I hate you." I told him, like i had millions of times before.

He shrugged. "I know. I'd be mentally ill if I hadn't fig--"

"Yeah, shut it." I waved my hand at him in a dissmisive way. I turned to Bella. I crouched down. "Now, Bells," I said in a sweet voice. "If you're going to talk about someone, keep it down!" I said, getting up and storming out.
