CHAPTER 3: A WARNING
Quil and Embry left once my dad and I sat down for dinner. He had been barely talking to me lately. My friends were worried, but I told them he'd get over it. All he did was worry about Bella, from what I heard from Charlie; Edward was a really cool guy. I personally thought my dad was blowing the whole situation out of proportion.
"Jacob can I ask you to do something tonight?" my dad asked.
"Talking to me again?" I asked him and he shot me a stern glare.
"I'll take that as a yes." I said weakly.
"If you go up to Bella's prom to give her the warning, I'll give you the money you need to finish fixing up the Rabbit." My dad said.
"Seriously dad, no joke?" I asked him full of hope.
"Yes, but first you must go to Bella's prom and tell her that warning," my father said seriously.
"Fine." I sighed.
I took the wooded trail to get there faster. As I appeared from out of the trees, I spotted Bella in front of me on a bench. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful she looked and second she had a cast on her leg. I shook my head, that girl was a walking caution sign.
"Hey Bella." I called and she turned around.
"Hey Jake. What are you doing here?" she asked.
"My dad promised to give me the parts I need for my Rabbit, if I tell you something." I said.
"What would that be?" she asked me, curious.
"He wants you to break up with your boyfriend." I said.
"Well, no offense to your dad but that isn't gonna happen." Bella chuckled.
"I didn't think so." I smiled back, with embarrassment.
"Is there anything else?" she asked.
"He also wanted me warn you, that the Cullen's are dangerous. Something that I really don't get." I chuckled.
"Well thanks for the warning even if I'm not taking it. I really hope he gives you the money, even though I'm not listening." Bella smiled.
"You and me both." I smiled back.
I looked into Bella's eyes and realized I was really starting to like her. Something just clicked with us and I knew if Edward ever messed up I was gonna be there to catch her.
"Well Jacob it was great to see you. We should hang out more often," she smiled and hugged me.
"Well, see ya later Bella." I smiled and walked off.
I turned around and watched Edward help her up and lead her toward the school. I didn't know, if it was my dad's superstitions getting the better of me or just a feeling, but something about Edward didn't seem right. Then I sniffed, I smelled the faint odor of something sweet. It actually smelled too sweet, it was disgusting and just as it came, it was gone.
I got home and told my dad what happened. He told me thanks for trying, but said he'd make well on his end of the bargain. Later that night Quil, Embry and I drove out to the cliff and looked up at the stars. This was something the three of us would do once a week, since we were eight.
"Something on your mind Jake?" Quil asked.
"No." I said.
"Bro, you're not giving us a lot of credit. We're your best friends after all." Embry said.
"Fine, it's the guy Bella's dating." I said.
"The Cullen's are freaks, we all know that." Embry said.
"Yeah, but something's off. He just looks unreal, like he's too perfect or something. Then when I left I smelled this sweet smell and it was disgusting, it was really faint but disgusting. The whole thing was weird." I said, concerned.
"Maybe Bella shouldn't be dating that guy." Quil said.
"Why because he's perfect? Yeah, that'll go over well. Bella, you shouldn't see Edward because he's just too perfect." I said mock acting.
"You know it' something more than that." Quil said, getting annoyed.
"Usually you're the sensible one Quil, let's not switch roles." I laughed.
"Hey!" Embry said annoyed.
"We just don't want you hurting like this bro." Quil said, trying to stop the fight before it happened.
Good ol' Quil always the mediator.
"Yeah, we don't want you down." Embry smiled.
"I knew there was a reason, I picked you guys as my best friends." I smiled.
We all laughed and I grabbed Embry to give him a noogie. Quil laughed as Embry threatened to shove me off the cliff. I pointed out he'd never, do that. Embry gave up and the three of us laughed. We all laid back and watched the stars as the moon rose slowly in the night sky. In the distance a wolf howled, I shuddered and thought nothing of it.
Alright guys next I'll start with New Moon parts. Hope you guys enjoy, it's just gonna get better.
