Finding Someone

Chapter Eleven

Rogue12158

Disclaimer

I own absolutely nothing. Except for Wes, which I really shouldn't be happy about. But I do own Avery, which is nice. But isn't the same as owning Jacob or Edward. Tear. But owning Wes means that I have the right to kill him. And that makes me happy inside.

Author's Apology

I am soooo incredibly sorry for not updating lately! I was really busy working on an oneshot that was really time-consuming, not like that's a good excuse. But I do have a treat for all of my beloved fans out there. I have pictures of Avery, Jacob, and Wes on my profile. And the picture of Wes will look very goofy. I just couldn't find any good pictures of him. (If you ever saw the movie Aquamarine -starring Sarah Paxton and Jo Jo- he played the lifeguard, Raymond.) Also, there is this poll on my profile that is about which story I should really get cracking on. And yes, the winner will be updated faster than I have been working lately.

Author's Note

There will be about five, maybe six more chapters left to this story, but at any rate, it is coming to an end. I know, I'm sad, too. This was my first successful story, and I hate to see it go. But the good news is that I'm in the process of creating, in my mind, at this point, a fight between Jacob and Wes, which may put him on life-support. But I haven't decided yet. Then there will be some cute Jacob and Avery fluff, I know, awwww. Then there will... wait I can't tell you this stuff! Whoops!!!

P.S.- I want to thank AuthorAngel for giving Jacob and Avery the couple name, Javery. It means a lot to me that Avery is accepted.

Chapter Eleven

Avery's P.O.V.

The next morning, I went with Cindy to open the diner. I told her that I wanted to because of my duty to the diner and to her, but I wasn't fooling anyone, not even myself. I wanted to see Jacob, and that was the truth.

As soon as the door was open, I half ran to Jacob's room. And I noticed Cindy's smirk as I went.

I found Jacob asleep on the couch, looking painfully adorable, with his mouth open and snoring kind of loudly. I gazed at him as I tried to figure out how to wake him up. It didn't take me long to think of something. Since he was sleeping on a blanket instead of under it, I grabbed the blanket, and with some effort, I pulled on it until it came off the couch bringing him with it.

The startled look on his face was completely priceless.

"Wha? What's goin' on?" He said, still partially asleep.

"It's time to wake up!!"

"Are you always this chipper in the morning?" He was a little more awake this time. He was actually able to form complete words.

"Not usually, but for some reason I am today!" Yeah, and you're that reason.

He went to get ready for the day and I went back to the main room of the diner and helped Cindy with breakfast.

As we finished, Jacob entered the diner, this time he was fully awake, and I had just put our eggs and toast on the counter.

"Mornin'," he said, sitting down and digging into his food. I sat next to him and started doing the same.

"So, how so you like the new apartment?" I asked after a while of comfortable silence.

"It's really great. Thanks again for letting me sleep there."

"No problem. Don't even mention it." He smiled at my response and I smiled back. Things like that was one of the reason's I love Jake. It was just so easy to be happy when he was around.

After a while, business started to pick up, and around ten a familiar face walked in. She was about 5'3", had short dark brown hair, whiteish-skin with a regular build. She's been one of my best friend for as long as I can remember.

She came right up to me as I was serving someone's food and said, "Hey, Avery! Got any coffee?"

She does this every time. She walks in, says her hellos and asks if we have any coffee which was, and always has been, and probably will always be, behind the counter. "Behind the counter, Sarah." If only I had a dime for every time I've said that!

As I walked back to where she was at the counter, I saw her looking into the kitchen with a slight smile on her face. "Who is that?!?!?" She was referring to Jacob, I knew.

"That's Jacob Black."

"Where did he come from? Why is he here? How do you know him? Where is he staying? Details!!!" I love Sarah. She's a little out there but I love her just the same.

"Washington State. He ran from home. I spilled food on him on his first day here, and he's staying in the apartment behind the diner." I could see the excitement brewing in her face.

"Oh, wow! Why didn't you tell me when he got here? When did he get here?"

"Just a few days ago."

She pulled me aside for her next question of her inquisition. "What does Wes feel about this?" Sarah, Cindy, and now Jacob were the only ones that I felt safe enough with to tell them the abuse that Wes caused.

"He's met Jake, and threatened me," I added the last part quickly. I didn't like admitting out loud that being around Jake was dangerous to me, especially since it felt so good.

"Then what is still hanging around for?" I knew that there were two parts behind her question. Part one: I'm worried for you. Part two: Can I get my hands on him? Ahhh, my Sarah...

"I like him, Sarah. I don't want him not to be around." I know that it was a serious understatement, but it seemed to be the only really safe thing to say in a diner full of people.

"You do?" I could tell that she was disappointed. "Aren't you worried about Wes at all? What if he wants a fight with Jacob?"

I hadn't really thought of that as a possibility before. "Sarah, take a good look at him."

She looked in his direction and said, "Oh, I am. Trust me, I am."

"Don't you think that he would be alright in a fight?" Even if he didn't have that extra werewolf bonus.

"You're right."

"Aren't I always?"

Jacob saw me and Sarah talking and decided to come over. "Hey Avery. Friend of Avery." He smiled at us and I could swear that my insides had melted. He held out his hand for her to shake.

"I go by Sarah." She took his hand and was startled a little by his warmth.

"Sarah here has been one of my few best friends since diapers."

"Oh, well it's very nice to meet you, Sarah. I have to head back to the kitchen. See you later, Avery." He headed back into through the door he just went came through.

When I turned back to Sarah, I saw her checking her watch. "Hey Avery, I'm sorry but I have to go. My Mom wants me to babysit my little sister. I have to go." With a hug and a disposable cup of coffee, she was out the door.

Business was slow for the rest of the day and Cindy had me show Jacob how to close up. It wasn't long until I completely forgot about what Cindy told me, I was having way too much fun hearing Jacob tell stories about the kinds of trouble he would get in with his friends.

"And then... I backed up... and he fell... into the... lake." He two was laughing so hard that his speech was strained. "My dad... never let... me go on... his fishing... trips... ag...ain. He had... to... get a new... wheelchair."

I started laughing so hard that I almost fell onto floor, but instead I awkwardly fell on top of Jake, who was sitting next to me by the counter.

"How long were you grounded for?" I asked for the fifth time, but that one being the first time I said it coherently.

"Months."

It occurred to me then that I was in Jacob's arms. Jacob's arms. And that's not the only thing, either. Our faces were inches apart, and he was leaning towards me. Me.

I thought that nothing could ruin that moment when his lips were millimeters apart from mine.

And that's when I heard the one thing that made what I thought wrong. The front door of the diner open, and the voice of Wes scream, "What the fuck are you doing with my girlfriend?!?!?!?!"

SHIT!!!!!!!!

Well, that's another chapter. I know, I'm so evil. I take pride in it.

The next chapter will be in Avery's P.O.V. as well, seeing as I can't write fight scenes in the first person, sorry if any of you are upset.
