As I pulled the zipper up on my blue and white skirt I looked into the full length mirror. I was dressed in my blue and white cheer leading uniform, with my hair in a high, lose ponytail with black strains I had straightened falling loosely around my face. I didn't have amazing features, I looked like any Quileute girl really, except my eyes, I had big, bright green eyes instead of the usual brown or hazel eyes everyone else had on the reservation. I used to have really long hair, until I cut it, and now its just a little bit passed my boobs. I looked normal, nothing special.
I walked down the stairs of our 3 bedroom house, my room used to be directly opposite Sam's, but since he moved, we made his room a guest room, as well as another place to put all my junk in. I saw my mom in the kitchen making pancakes and my dad sitting at the breakfast bar with the newspaper and coffee.
"There's my little girl" I heard my dad say as he got up off his chair giving me a kiss on the forehead "I'm off, I'll be home around 4 hopefully" Dad kissed my mom lightly as he walked out the door. It was funny how in love my parents still were after all the years they were together. Most of my friends parents had divorced, but I guess they didn't have imprinting up their sleeves. Once my brother changed, my parents thought it was best to let me in on the secrete as well, I was grateful they decided too.
"Savannah sweetie, Sam and Emily are coming home for dinner tonight, on your way home could you please stop at the shops and get a desert that your brother would like?" My mom loved when Emily and Sam came over for dinner, she didn't get to see Sam all that much any more so whenever she got the chance, she'd spoil both Sam and Emily rotten.
"Sure, I better get going, my mom" I said picking up an apple and walking out the door.
When I was 17 my parents brought me the most amazing car, it was a silver SUV. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Sam went crazy because when he was 17 he only got a truck, I just told him that obviously our parents loved me more, so from that day on, I've called him the red headed step-child no one wants nor loves. It annoys him a lot, everyone else just finds it hilarious. I drove into the small car park of the school, I found a spot within 10 minutes. It wasn't a massive car park since there wasn't a lot of students that attended the school, I'm pretty sure the largest grade only has 30 kids in it.
I locked my baby and began walking into the school with my bag over my shoulder, I said my hello's to the fellow classmates I saw and before I knew it I could see the back of a very tall, well built black haired boy leaning against my locker. I smiled as I quietly ran up behind him throwing my arms around the back of his neck. He jumped at first before turning around to look at me, he gave me his big childish grin.
"I didn't see you all summer, what the hell was that about?" Jacob asked as I opened my locker trying to shove my bag in there.
"Well there's this thing called a phone, you can use it when you want to make plans with someone."
"You're so funny you know that?" Jacob said smiling at me once more.
Jacob Black had been my best friend since I can remember, our mothers were good friends and went through pregnancy together, Jake is only 1 month and a couple of days older than me. Even though the doctors said we'd both be born on the same day, Jacob being Jacob had to beat me to the punch. Anyway, we grew up in each others back yards playing all sorts of games while our mom's would sit on the porch drinking coffee and watching us.
"Where's dumb and dumber?" I asked talking about Quil and Embry
"I have no idea, knowing them they probably got lost." Jacob answered putting his hands into his pockets.
Just as the bell rang my eyes went to the entrance of the school were I saw Embry and Quil walk in slowly, I looked closer and noticed they were both completely covered in water, their head right down to their thighs. I hit Jacob making him look in my gaze, as they both started walking towards us we started laughing
"Not a word" Quil said walking right past us with Embry on his side.
The day went by very slowly, As the first day back from holidays always is, I wish I were back on holidays, all I did was sleep. I knew that would end now I'm back at school, I have so much stuff to think about during the day by the time I get home to go to sleep, I've made my self totally awake because I've been thinking so much. It's a pain in the ass. I drove over to Jacob's before I went home, We walked into the garage where he was fixing the Rabbit yet again.
"Why don't you just get a new car? All this car does is break" I said pointing out the obvious
"Sorry, not everyone has parent who will buy them anything they want" Jacob said while underneath the car, Jake always made fun of me because my parents did everything for me. I didn't clean, I didn't cook. I didn't even have a job, my dad liked to know I was getting taken care of. I walked over to Jacob and kicked him in the leg, which probably hurt me more then it did him. I hopped over to the chair Jacob brought out of his house years ago so I would have somewhere to sit when I talked to him while he was doing whatever he does
"You going to the bonfire this weekend?" I saw Jacob roll out of underneath the car and wipe his hands on the towel I chucked to him.
"Why do you always ask me? You know I'm not going Jacob" I said pulling out my phone and beginning to text a few of my friends
"It's been two years Vanna, just come you'll have lots of fun"
"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked a little angry
"What?" Jacob looked at me confused.
"It's been two years Vanna." I mimicked his rough, husky voice
"I mean that what happened between you and Paul happened ages ago" Jacob walked past me to get a new towel, What is wrong with him? No matter how long ago it was, it still hurts to think about it.
"So I'm just meant to forget about that he cheated on me with the person I have known and been best friends with since I was like 6?" I stood up and placed my hands on my hips of the cheer leading uniform I was still wearing
Jacob sighed "I meant you shouldn't let his stupid ass keep you from having fun." Jacob lent on his car facing me "Don't be mad Savannah. I just wanna hang out with you like we used to"
I hate when he does this, he makes me feel so terrible like Im the worst best friend in the world because I wont go with him to listen to the legends his dad tells. I took a deep breathe
"I'll think about it. No promises. Anyway I gotta go, Sam is over for dinner and I gotta get a cake or something from the shop. Pick me up tomorrow?" I grabbed my bag and phone before walking out of the garage
"I'll see you in the morning" Jacob said with a smile on his face. I smiled back and walked out to my car but stopped once I heard Jacob call my name and run out the garage up to me and my car
"What ever happened to Alex?"
Alex. Alex Allen was my best friend. I meet her in the first grade, she had to sit next to me and asked if I wanted to share her crayons. We grew up telling each other everything we shared no secrets. Everyone in the town said we were joined at the hip, that was when I wasn't with Jacob. But she obviously failed to tell me she was in love with my boyfriend, the worst thing is she knew how much he meant to me. I had never loved someone as much as I loved Paul, I wanted to marry Paul then and there.
"I don't know, she moved." I said with a small smile as I got into the car and drove out of Jacob's driveway. On the way home I couldn't help but think of how this all happened.
F L A S H B A C K
I stood there in complete shock, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe. I looked at Alex, she had tears in her eyes. I looked at Paul. My Paul. He wasn't my Paul any more, I didn't recognise the boy looking back at me. I slammed the door shut and began to run down the stairs out the door, Nina must of left, thank god. I didn't want to explain anything I just saw. I opened Paul's front door and walked out before I felt something pull my arm. I turned around to see Paul standing there.
"Baby" He whispered
"I'm not your baby any more." I said through my tears trying to hold back as much as I could. But I couldn't.
"Savannah, I am so sorry, it was a moment of weakness." Paul said walking after me
"NO!" I shouted at him "You don't get to call that a moment of weakness, you decided to sleep with my best friend. That was all up to you! This is all you fault."
"Vanna, I know that. You have no idea how sorry I am."
I felt so much rage and hurt I did something I never in a billion years though I'd do. I felt my hand collied with Paul's face. I gasped as I looked up at him, his face with a bright red mark. His eyes bloodshot and hurt. I couldn't look at him any more, it all hurt to much.
"Savannah please." He whispered, chocking on his words.
"I loved you." I couldn't think of anything else to say "But now I see that your just a scared little boy, who isn't man enough to love a girl." He put his head down in shame, hurt by my words. I could feel more tears running down the sides of my face, I started running. As fast as I could, running past neighbours who looked at me shocked seeing the tears run down my face.
"Savannah?" I heard my mom's voice pull me out of my thoughts
"Sorry what?" I asked taking a sip of water
"Off with the fairies huh sis?" Sam said chuckling with my dad
"Something like that."
