Hey everyone. Some people in my reviews wanted me to update faster. So here I am!! Just as you wished. See how many things can get done when you review. I guess I know where this is going now. Not that it should make you feel any better than when I didn't know where it was going. I have more time now!! We aren't having anymore after school practices for quiz bowl until December. My piano teachers in the hospital so that frees up Monday and Thursday. And I don't have cheer practice so that frees up Wednesday. I also have no more football games so no more late night Fridays. I will be gone this weekend though so I might not get to update. But after that everything should be a go.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Emma woke up that morning in her bed with her head feeling really light. She sat up groggily as her eyes tried to focus then flopped back onto the bed. She really, really didn't want to wake up. The previous night's events make her eyes open wide. She had some issues to fix. With that in mind she jumped out of bed and into her bathroom. If she knew her former boyfriend he wouldn't be up for a while; but then again neither would Jake. She ran the water in the shower and then got in. She hurriedly cleansed herself from all imperfections while trying to think of a way to make things go as smoothly as possible. After 10 minutes, the shortest shower ever, she got out and started her daily routine only at a faster rate. She pulled her wet hair into a messy bun and washed her face. She threw on some clothes and put on as little makeup as she allowed herself to be seen in public on. She left her hair up, not really caring how it looked at the moment, and ran into the main part of the house. Her father was in the living and her mother was in the kitchen. Emma stopped when she saw her mother.
"Is Brad up yet?" Her mother turned around with a spatula in her hand.
"No, not yet why?" Emma grabbed a light jacket off the coat rack. It wasn't that warm outside.
"No reason. I just need to go talk to Jake." Emma heard her father call her from in the living room. She sighed as she power walked to him and watched him put the paper down on his lap. He motioned for her to sit down across from him. Emma looked at the couch and then back at him.
"I really don't have the time, daddy." Her father tried to keep the smile on his face.
"You'll make time, now sit down." Emma obeyed her father and then sat down with a huff. Emma gave him a look that told him to state his business and be on with it. He seemed to get her point and cleared his throat.
"Emma, I know that since we've moved down here you're relationship with Brad has been stretched..." he paused before she nodded her head for him to continue. "But I want you to reconsider it now that he's here with us." Emma eyes widened with realization. Her mother stepped into the room wiping her hand with a dishtowel.
"You told Brad to come down here, didn't you?" Emma asked. She couldn't believe what her dad was trying to tell her. Her sighed before messing with the paper again.
"All I'm saying is you should think about what you're getting into dating Jacob. He's a nice boy, yes, but is he really what you want. You have to think about in the long run Emma." Emma stood up roughly from her spot on the couch.
"Jake is who I want Dad. He may not have money or status but I don't need those things. And for what it's worth he's a whole lot better at being someone's companion than Brad ever was. So you can stuff it with this conversation." With that she stomped out of the house and into her vehicle. Emma's mother looked at her husband.
"I told you." She said all-knowingly. Her husband sighed as he lifted the paper.
"You're never on my side when it comes to her." She playfully slapped him with the dishtowel and he grinned from behind the paper.
Out side Emma started the vehicle and sped out of the driveway. Tears were streaming down her face as she drove down that road blurring her vision. She wiped the salty liquid from her view and continued to haul butt down to La Push. She finally came across the line and slowed down to keep from scaring the people on the side of the road. Once she got on the outskirts she once again pushed the speed limit to make it to Jake's house. The house came into view and she broke down into tears again. She could never let this place go. She rolled into the yard, parked the car, and flew out onto the porch like a bat out of hell. She banged on the door while looking behind her. She noticed that Janet's car was gone. Meaning Billy was probably gone too. After another series of bangs Jake opened the door in all his tousled glory. Emma lurched forward and attached herself to his bare middle burying her face in his chest. His warmth engulfed her and she shivered from pleasure. Jake placed one hand on her head and one of he middle of her back. His lips came down to her ear hoping to calm her down.
"Hey, what's wrong? Calm down, calm down. It's going to be okay ." he picked her up and brought her inside. He walked to his small room and sat on the bed with her in his lap. He kept on talking to her in a voice that was deeper than normal. The vibrations in his chest seemed to calm down her muffled sobs. He rocked her back and forth to try and get her to completely stop crying. He leaned back onto the bed and placed her small body on top of his. She cuddled into his chest and placed her legs in between his. He wrapped his arms around her hoping that she was warm enough due to her abnormal tendency to be really cold. Her sobs quieted down to random sniffles. Jake let her calm down a little more before asking her questions that could start the water works again. He grimaced at the thought.
"So what's the matter." he asked quietly. Emma looked up at him with glittering green eyes.
"My dad's being a butt." Jacob chuckled at the comment.
"How so?" he asked. Emma paused not knowing how to continue and keep the peace.
"Uh, he wanted me to...rethink our relationship." she said shutting her eyes and taking that plunge. Emma could feel Jake's breathing get shallower and his chest puffed out more.
"And what did you say?" he asked letting his arms fall down to his sides. Emma sat up slightly wondering how he could be so dense.
"I said hell no. What do you think I would say." Jake shrugged. Emma glared at him.
"You imprinted remember? She smiled and propped herself up. "Which means I can't resist you." Jake chuckled and ran his large hands up and down her sides. Emma laughed and rolled off him and onto the bed. She had to be careful because he didn't leave her much room.
"I'm ticklish." Jake nodded.
"I know. Now, why did your dad say that?" Emma looked down to where her hand laid on Jake's muscular stomach. She was hoping he wouldn't ask questions. She didn't know the "safe" answer to those questions.
"Um, he thought I might be better suited to someone like my...ex." Jake shrugged.
"And you told him no. So what's the big deal?" Ah, more lovely questions. Emma sighed.
"Well, the problem is that. Um, my ex...is here. At my house." Jake flew up from his position and jumped off the bed.
"Do what?!" Emma panicked at his reaction. There went the fire.
"Jake now calm down. It's not like anything is going on. As soon as he finally realizes that theirs nothing between us he'll go away. Which will probably be today." Jacob shook his head and paced the room.
"No. No, I am not doing this again. You are not going to treat me like Bella did! I am not going through this again!" Emma's heart broke at the comment. Was she treating him like she did? No! Emma loved Jake not Brad. There's only one guy this time. But there's also one delusional guy. Jake went to walk out the door but for the first time in her life at La Push she was faster than him. She blocked the door way not allowing him to get out.
"Jake, let's talk about this." Jake tried to push her out of the way but her adrenaline was pumping way to fast. Emma's breath caught in her throat when Jake started to tremble.
"Jake?" Emma said warily. Jacob put his hands to his head trying to control his rage. Emily's scarred face blinked in and out of Emma's mind. This could end up badly. Very badly.
Emma grabbed Jake's hands and bent him down to her eye level.
"Snap out of it Jake!! If you don't stop you'll do something you'll regret now STOP!!!" Jake growled in frustration still holding his head. Emma was using all her strength to keep him from going on a loop. Tears started streaming down her eyes at his condition. All because of her.
"J-Jake." she said in a final attempt. "You know that I would never leave you." She grabbed his head and cradled it to her chest. He was trying to fight it. He knew the consequences.
"Come one Jake! I-I" she stuttered trying to find something to say to calm him down. His knees crumbled beneath him and they both fell to the floor. Emma could feel the fur growing on Jacob's skin. This had to stop now before it was too late.
"Jake, I'm sorry I didn't say this before but... I love you...so very much!" Jake grew rigid at her words and the growling stopped but he was still trembling. Emma's eyes grew large. She tried to think of something else to say to convince him.
"I couldn't think of my life without you." This didn't to seem to take any effect. He was still trembling and holding his head. Slight growls erupted randomly from his throat. Beads of sweat ran down Emma's forehead. She didn't know what else to do. She remembered when Jake told her that he threatened to let himself be killed in battle to get Bella to kiss him. A light went off in Emma's head. This was sort of like that only he wasn't doing it intentionally. Emma looked down sadly at Jake's painful expression. She gripped the hair at the back of his head and pulled his head back. Before she could see the strain on his face her lips descended onto his with a force she hoped could register in his mind. After a few seconds of no change, she forced her tongue into his mouth. She still gripped the back of his head and neck keeping him from struggling and after a while the trembling stopped. It seemed like forever before Emma felt his arms wrap around her and he deepened the kiss. He stood upright on his knees and forced her head back. In need of air, they broke the kiss and Emma once again brought Jake's head back into her embrace. They sat their silent not registering what had just happened. Emma finally chuckled while letting him go.
"Welcome back." she said with tired smile. Jacob was still breathing hard but managed a weak smile. Emma then helped him onto the bed and then crawled up beside him as they both fell asleep.
Jacob woke up and looked over at the clock beside his bed. It read 6:00. Both him and Emma had slept through the rest of the day and that night. He stretched noticing that Emma was still snuggled up to his side. She must have been really tired what with crying all day. Jake's head perked up when he heard a knocking on the door. He de-tangled himself from Emma's grip and then walked to the front door while throwing on a shirt. The knocking continued until he finally reached the door knob. He unlocked the door and opened only to find a certain someone standing behind it. His face turned into a glare and he readied himself for an attack.
"What do you want. You're not supposed to be on this side of the line." he said in a rough voice. The other man nodded in confirmation.
"We know who's causing all of the vampires to attack and it concerns you and the girl."
