Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, New Moon, or any accompanying books. That is the honor of Stephenie Meyer. I am simply a fan writing fanfiction. I do however own this plot.
A/n: So to make up for not updating in forever I did two in one night! This chapter is very "mean girls" I think and is meant to be more funny than anything else. I don't really like the ending but...oh well. Suggestions are awesome! Read and review please, thanks. :)
I surprised myself with how early I woke up the next morning. I woke up at eight, beating the little bit of sun that would show itself by nine. Charlie had left for work and cooked me toast and sausage as a peace offering. I was touched by the gesture although I was in no way ready to forgive him for last night. No use in dwelling on that though as it would ruin my entire day which had the real potential to be good. I smiled while I chewed on the rubbery toast at the memories of spending time with Jacob. Sure this time there would be no motorcycles or anything as Dare Devilish, but at least I was closer to having my best friend back. I got dressed and put my hair up in a ponytail, I kept checking my wristwatch. Time seemed to be going by so slowly. Finally at ten Jake pulled up in his car and in the passenger seat was...Maggie. Her hair was in a bun held up by a light blue ribbon and she had on blue jeans, a blue tank top, and blue flip-flops. Well, didn't she coordinate well. I walked over to them smiling awkwardly, I was still waiting for her to call me a bitch or something for kissing her boyfriend. Instead, once they'd shut their doors she just smiled sweetly at me.
"Hey, Bells." Said Jake followed closely by Maggie. She didn't speak but instead eyed me tentatively, there was something behind her eyes I didn't like.
"Hey Jake and...Maggie, wasn't expecting the both of you."
"Well she kind of begged—"
"I just wanted to see why Jacob is so fascinated by you and your life." Said Maggie flatly.
I blushed, "well, what did you guys have in mind?"
Jake shrugged. "A movie in Port Angeles, I've been meaning to see that new super hero one if that's fine."
I nodded. "Yeah great, do you know the times?"
"Yes, I looked them up before we left one starts in two hours. We should probably leave now."
I nodded and we all got into his car, he and Maggie in the front, me in the backseat. Against my own will I could feel myself glaring at Maggie from my seat behind Jacob. I couldn't help feeling like she was intruding on something special, my time with Jake. Especially while they sat laughing and talking, Jake occasionally acknowledging that I was there.
The drive seemed the longest to Port Angeles it ever had to me. The only times I'd ever came here I wasn't alone and had the banter of friends or Edward. This time, although I wasn't alone it felt that way. When finally did arrive in Port Angeles I literally fell out of the car I was trying to get out so fast. Maggie laughed haughtily putting her hand over her mouth while Jake helped me up.
I dusted my knees off and pretended not to hear Maggie's chiming in my ears.
"I'll get the refreshments what do you guys want?" Asked Jake after we'd purchased our tickets, as if nothing had happened and everything was fine.
"Popcorn and a diet coke, Jakey." Said Maggie batting her eyelashes; I rolled my eyes.
"Um nachos and a white cherry slushy." I said handing him over my money which he politely declined.
So Maggie and I go into the theatre that still has a few lights dimly lit to find seats. She's picky about everything and keeps having us go down different isles because she finds something wrong with everyone one. Finally after what feels like an eternity she settles on three seats in the middle row, I stumble and end up falling into my seat. It's unusually clumsy even for me I note as I wiggle my way into a comfortable position.
"There aren't any boys around, you don't have to act like the damsel in distress." Says Maggie flatly rolling her eyes and tossing her bouncy hair over her shoulder.
"Um...it's not an act." I say shyly.
"Whatever, look I'm not stupid okay? Your sweet, innocent, idiot act is getting nowhere with me. I know you're after my boyfriend and you're not getting him."
My mouth hangs open limply and before I can come up with a proper response Jake comes and sits between us. He's smiling as he hands me my nachos and slushy. I sit the slushy in my cup holder and stuff my mouth before I blurt out something stupid.
"How are you two getting along?" He asks jokingly.
"Really well, Bella's a good listener." Says Maggie kissing Jake while glancing at me.
I turn ahead ready for the movie to start. This is going to be an excruciatingly long two hours I think as I sigh and sip my drink, sulking.
When I get home Charlie is sitting waiting in a chair while pretending to be watching ESPN. I head up the stairs only to hear him call my name.
"Yes?" I ask impatiently. It's not like I have anything better to do but I'd honestly prefer not to hear him bad mouth my boyfriend anymore.
"Billy called said you and Jacob were together, I'm happy you're giving other people a chance besides Cullen."
"Dad I'm not having a repeat of last night so either you get to the point quickly or I'm upstairs now."
Charlie blinks as if he's really biting his tongue and tells me goodnight. I say it back weakly heading upstairs exhausted from an awkward and tense two hours in the movie theatre. When I get upstairs I expect to flop down on my bed and maybe call Lauren because I know she'll be a real support system. Instead I'm greeted by Edward Cullen laying on my bed. His arms are behind his bed and he's looking up at the ceiling, even in a t-shirt and worn jeans he looks like a model. How lucky am I, right?
I let out a small scream from the shock and he quickly covers my mouth. "I'm glad you're happy to see me, Bella." His cool breath is in my ear and I smile as he removes his hand.
"I...I thought that you were on a hunting trip." I say looking up into his topaz eyes, I feel myself becoming dazzled.
He sits on my bed bringing me over with him. "I did go but I decided to leave a little early. Emmett and Jasper are still there of course but I missed you two much. I have to agree with them I have become quite...whipped."
Edward chuckles and I push him jokingly although he doesn't budge. If anyone is whipped it's me I think as we lay on the bed and he strokes my hair. "So what'd you do today while I was out?"
"Ugh...you don't even want to know." I say as he looks at me quizzically and I kiss his cold lips gently.
"Kiss me again and I think that'll actually be true." He whispers and I do glad to forget my less than perfect day.
