AN: I'm giving up on reviews. I never get the amount I want. It's upsetting. I'll still thank the reviews. I'm just putting this up for my pleaser now. I have a Warrior cat fanfic up if you like that. Do you guys want the next Chapter to be in another POV? Then, who's? Jazmine, Makayla, or Jacob? Pick one. I was thinking about making it into another POV I just don't know which one to choose. It's a hard decision. Anyways, I'm thanking the people that reviewed now:
Lightfan111: Thanks for being the few that review every Chapter. You're the light to my day. Haha, get it. =P Well, at least I tried to make a joke.
Kikikiki: I would like to thank you for being the other person that reviews every Chapter. You guys make my day brighter and encourage me to write. Reviews make me write faster!
Continue: I see great things for this story. Despite the reviews that I probably won't get. I might have some people that are reading this story that don't review. If you are reading this, please review. You'll get a Jacob plushie!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does. I only own my characters, the plot and whatever else I come up with. Enjoy!
Happily Ever After
Chapter 4: New Beginning.
My eyes fluttered open. I took in my surroundings with a huge sigh. I was in Aunt Sue's house. My parents were out of town. Even if they weren't, they wouldn't care if I was gone. I sat up and dangled my feet over the edge of the bed I was in. The room was big. I actually got a bed to sleep in, and was warm. There was a heater in here. I breathed in. It smelled like Ginger Bread Cookies. Not the sewer. I sighed happily. This is what a teenager should live like, not at the other place where I'm treated like crap. Sure, I was lucky I had a roof over my head and they didn't just put me in a orphanage. Maybe they should've. They couldn't take care of a child.
My eyes drifted to the closet. I really needed to get changed and take a nice warm bath. Getting up, I walked over and opened the closet up. I rummaged through the clothes to see if there was anything that I liked. My eyes stopped on a purple tank top with the words, "I Love Music" on it. I got it out and went to the drawer. There was some black ripped skinny jeans. I picked that out and went to the bathroom. After I took a shower, I put on the outfit I picked out. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. I found a straightner and straightened my hair. I put it up in a bun and walked downstairs.
"Analee! Your awake!" A cheery voice exclaimed. I blinked and turned. Aunt Sue was standing outside the kitchen with a pot in her hand, "I was making Chocolate-Chocolate pancakes. Come on inside," She mired and went inside the room again. I shrugged to myself and followed her inside.
"Who's that?" A voice asked. I saw a muscular boy with black hair and eyes at the kitchen table. That must be Seth… I thought, looking at him. He was cute. I could see why Kayla thought I would like him.
"That's Analee sweety," Sue answered, "And she needed a home. I'm letting her live here for a while," She added. She looked at me with a wink, "Analee, this is Seth. My son," She introduced.
"Oh! Your that girl that Jake's hanging out with today!" Seth blurted with a lot of enthusiasm. I blushed when he mentioned his name.
Sue blinked, looking surprised, "Jake? As in Jacob Black?" She asked with amusement. She turned to look at me, "I didn't know you were Jacob's girlfriend," She teased me.
I shook my head, "No, no, no. He's not my boyfriend," I denied, eyes wide with shock that she would say that.
Sue chuckled, "You say that now. You two will be tight as a tack," She mused. Seth snorted. Sue raised her eyebrow at her son, who just shrugged and started back at eating his food. She turned to look at me, "Your plate is on the table. Enjoy the pancakes," She chuckled, "Guard them well. Seth will try to steal them from your plate," She mused jokingly.
Seth snorted, "Will not. She's new to the family. I will wants she gets accustomed though," He mused, eyes showing a hint of amusement.
"You've been warned," Sue teased and I laughed. Living here wouldn't be as horrible as I thought. I sat in my seat beside Seth and started to eat on my Pancakes.
"So, how do you like it here?" He asked, trying to start conversation.
I swallowed my bite, "Considering I just moved in, I don't know," I stated, stabbing a pancake with my fork. "I don't have any clothes. They're all at…" I frowned, not wanting to call it my house.
Sue nodded her head, "We'll get you some more. Kim Conwheller and Emily Uley might be willing to go shopping with you to the mall," She commented, washing some dishes. I nodded my head thoughtfully.
"I have a job," I replied helpfully, tilting my head, "I work part-time at that small café shop down in Forks called Deserts Delights. They make deserts and sell them. They make coffee also. They have good coffee. They even taught me how to make it," I offered with a grin. Making coffee was one of my many passions. I also loved to sing. People said I was a great singer, but I didn't believe them. I have a low self-esteem. I only sing in the bathroom softly and in the shower. Sometimes I sing without knowing it. That's when people say I have a good voice. Then I automatically shut my mouth and blush, saying thanks.
"Maybe you can make it for us sometime," Sue suggested with a shrug, "When do you work?" She asked me curiously, going back to her dishes.
"Mondays and Thursdays," I answered. "I'll work longer now that School's over, and it's Summer break," I added with a shrug.
Sue nods. Then, her eyes lit up, "How about you come to the bonfire that were having tonight? If Jacob doesn't invite you, then you can still come because I invited you," She mused, drying off her dishes.
I thought for a minute. It would be nice to have some fun. And I could meet some more La Push people, and Kim and Rachel, if their there. I nodded my head, "I'd be delighted to come. Could Jazmine and Kayla come too? I promised I'd tell them what happened today with my-" I stopped abruptly, almost calling it a date, "day," I replied quickly.
Sue gave me a knowing look, "Of 'course. They're family." She agreed.
"Mom, I gotta run. I promised Sam I'd help him out," Seth blurted, kissing her cheek and dashing out of the house. I looked at Sue, confused. She shrugged, like she was used to this.
"If you need an outfit for tonight, I have some clothes that might fit you," She offered with a warm smile. I smiled back and nodded my head. She walked into a room. I waited for a couple minutes before she came back with a green flowing knee high skirt and a cute lighter grin tank top. Finishing the outfit, a cute pair of creamy ballet shoes. I smiled. I loved it. Even though I didn't wear those kind of clothes at school, because normally I wear hand-me-downs from my mother and Aunt. They never give me cute clothes, only ugly clothes. One reason why I wore a coat every day to school.
"I love it!" I squeaked happily. I bounced up and down, all the way over to Sue, grasping hold of the outfit, "I never got anything cute like this. It was always worn out or had holes in it," I explained my happiness. I felt giddy. Sue was making me feel welcome. Like I was at home. And I never felt this way before.
Sue laughed, "Here. Try it on, and see how it looks," She mused. I nodded my head and skipped to the bathroom. I walked inside, changing into my outfit. I straightened my hair and pulled it up in a white ribbon. I looked in the mirror and twirled. I looked cute. I took each side of the skirt in my fingers and bowed like a ballerina, chuckling. I felt happy. I glided out of the room, twirling. Sue gaped at me, "Oh my goodness. You look incredible!" She gushed, looking at me with awe.
"Why thank you," I giggled, bowing like I did at the mirror. My eyes twinkled with happiness. "I never felt this happy," I admitted, blushing a little, "My parents weren't the best. They even thought about putting me in the orphanage," I sighed sadly.
"I'll adopt you," Sue said abruptly. I looked at her with a stunned expression.
"What?" I mouthed, unable to believe what I just heard. She wanted to adopt me? That was the most nicest thing anyone has ever thought about doing.
"Yeah. I already think of you as my daughter," She smiled at me.
I smiled back. For once, I actually belonged somewhere. I walked over to her and hugged her tightly, "Thank you," I murmured, "I think of you as my mom." Sue hugged me back, "Your welcome. Now, don't keep Jacob waiting," She chuckled, giving me a twirl in my outfit. "I'll see what I can do about that shopping spree," She noted. I nodded my head. I said goodbye and walked out of the door. I heaved a big sigh and walked to the First beach.
I saw Jacob waiting for me, wearing black baggy pants and a white t-shirt. He looked at me and waved, then stopped and gapped. I blushed, walking over to him.
"Wow, Analee. You look… Wow," He breathed, out of words to say, and we haven't even started the day.
"Really? You like it?" I asked enthusiastically, twirling around with a giggle. "Sue got it for me. Said that I might need it for today. Guess she was right," I giggled.
That got Jacob's attention, "Sue? As in, Sue Clearwater?" He asked, surprised. I nodded my head meekly. He smiled, "I know her. And her son, Seth Clearwater. I also know her daughter. No one ever new she could get married," He mused in a teasing tone. I laughed, shaking my head. "Anyway, you live with her?" He asked.
I nodded my head, "She's thinking about adopting me," I murmured, bowing my head. Jacob walked up to me and put his finger under my chin, raising my head up.
"You're an… Orphan?" He asked, shaking a little.
"Oh no, but I guess you can say I am. My parents don't take care of me and they just left me to fend for myself this Summer," I murmured. Jake's shaking intensified. I placed my hand on his shoulder and he seemed to calm down a little.
"I'll make sure nothing happens to you," He promised, smiling a handsome smile. I smiled sweetly at him. He chuckled, "Come on. We have dinner plans." He mused, taking my hand and pulling me to his truck.
I raised my eyebrow at him, "Oh really? Where are we going?" I asked, as he helped me into the passenger seat. He walked over to the drivers seat and got inside.
"It's a surprise," He mused, a glint of humor in his eyes as he started his truck and drove out of the parking lot. We talked about useless stuff, and I realized it was easy to get along with Jacob. He was very easy-going. "Did I mention that Embry has a crush on you little friend Jazmine?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.
"No?" I gaped. I new Jazmine liked him. But I didn't know he liked her. She'll be ecstatic to find this news out, "Jazmine likes him too! He's all she talked about when we were talking on the phone yesterday," I mused.
"Then we'll have to play matchmakers," Jake mused, catching my hand in his right hand as his left was still on the steering wheel. I blushed, but tightened my hold on his hand. He smiled brightly at me, as if that was the reaction he wanted. When he stopped at a red light, he leaned down to kiss me. That's when the sparks really flew through me, and I had found my happily ever after.
