You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
How soon is now? – t.A.T.u
Present
I woke up with the sun glare in my eyes. Great another school day. I grumbled as I got out of bed. My foot fell in the hole from the floorboard. "Forgot to put that back in." I mumbled as I took my foot out and carefully stepped around it making a mental note to cover that up. I stumbled to the bathroom and began brushing my teeth noticing there was a sticky note on the mirror.
Had to go into work early. Have a nice day. –Charlie
I mentally nodded and finished everything I needed to do. I got out of the shower and went to my room scavenging my closet for something other than t-shirts in jeans to wear. I finally decided on this black tank top and some jeans with my old black converse. I got my jacket as I headed out of my room just in case the sun didn't last. Once I got downstairs I quickly and quietly ate my cereal. I started heading out until I saw a familiar car. The Rabbit. My heart skipped a beat as I saw who was in it, Jacob. My mind quickly went from. Why the heck is he here? To, I'm going to be late to school if I don't get out now.
I walked down my driveway thankful that the sun made it clear for me not to fall. Jacob waved at me as I waved back at him questioning him with my expression. "You do realize your going to be late for school right?" I said while walking down towards his car.
"If you get in here quick enough we won't be." Jacob smiled. That 100-watt smile just made him more pulchritudinous then he already was. I was confused but got in anyway.
"Okay, so tell me what's going on." I sat back in his car as he began to drive to my school.
"It's your present." He smiled again while I was still baffled. Was him taking me to school while he would be getting to his late, a present? If so, I was worrying too much about it. Although with Jacob, it's never that easy.
I began to ask him about it, but we already got to the school and he was stepping out of the car. I got out shooting him yet again another questioning look.
"You're looking at Forks High new student!" Jake put his hands up as if presenting himself. What I hadn't noticed earlier was that he had a red ribbon on the top of his head. "You like your present?" He asked waiting for my reaction.
"Love it Jake. What about all your friends on the rez?" I asked as I walked over to Jake and hugged him the warmth spreading over me. "Did you really leave them just for me? If so you should get your butt back over to your high school and be with them."
Jake wrapped his arms around me. "They're going to be fine. Yes, I did leave them just for you. Remember I love you; I'd do anything to protect you. So I'm staying here no matter what." He grinned as he planted his feet more firmly on the floor as if to back his statement up. Jake leaned down and kissed me. "Now we better run along and get to class. Which by the way, we have the exact same schedule."
My eyes widened when he kissed me. I thought they couldn't get any wider, and then he told me about his schedule. Time to be self-conscious again. I just wasn't good enough for him. "You're really dedicated on winning my heart aren't you?" I asked while we walked to homeroom as I saw his hand reaching up to grasp mine.
"Yep, I will never stop trying Bella. I can promise you that." Jacob smiled at me his eyes holding the longing he felt for him. I promised him silently that I would try to love him.
The day went by in a blur. In English, everyone was in shock by Jacob's massive size. By second, they had calmed down already getting used to him. Then third, many of the guys were glaring at him while the girls were ogling. Even though I knew, he could sense all of it he was always looking at either me, his work, the teacher, or the board. All while holding my hand under our table.
When lunch came around Mike swarmed up to me in the lunch line while I could see Jacob eating lunch at our table. "So what's the deal with the new kid and you?" I was gazing at Jacob, and Mike pulled me out of my daydreams.
"Oh Jacob? Were just friends, he used to go to the school on the rez but transferred here because of some problem over there." I hoped he didn't catch on to my lie or ask me about the details of the problems. Lucky for me he didn't pry about that.
"Just friends? So you let all your friends hug and kiss you?" He was prying for other details. Why did Mike have to be so interested in me?
"Fine, no he's not just a friend. He- he's my new boyfriend." I said a bit hesitant at first then said it with a truthfulness I didn't know I had in me. I could see Jacob smile from the corner of my eye. I resisted the urge to palm smack myself. Jacob heard me, he wants it, and I think I do as well. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks as Mike just glared at Jake. I got out of line with my spaghetti and water. I walked over and sat next to Jake. He put his arm around me.
"So Bella, I'm your new boyfriend?" His warm breath was in my ear sending shivers down my spine. "I like it."
My eyes closed without my permission. I was swimming in the silkiness of his voice. Jacob had already sat back up and was talking with everyone else. While I was still in my little world. My heart was screaming at my brain, love him love him!
I could see Lauren had sat with us and was trying to get Jacob's attention. He held on to my hand his warmth yet again flooding through me. Lauren saw our hands and looked like she was about to scream. She didn't eat the rest of her food as she just sat there pouting. I continued to eat the sauce dripping down my chin as I blushed realizing I forgot napkins. Jacob looked at me, grinned, and leaned in. "Don't worry." He licked the sauce of while kissing me on my lips. "I love you."
I could tell my cheeks were burning and he just chuckled. I could tell two people at this table were fuming. Mike and Lauren were furious. I whispered in Jacobs's ear. "I'll be right back I need to go get something from my locker." I stood up as he took his hand away from mine. He nodded and smiled at me, then continued eating.
Once out of the cafeteria I headed towards my locker. I needed to get my art sketchbook for next period. I quickly got it and my extra pencils. I didn't even realize someone was walking behind me until she spoke.
"What is your problem?!" Lauren was behind me and pulled me so I was facing her. "You always have to take the hot guy don't you? Ever since you came here, none of us have even a glimmer of hope to get with the guys like him. First you took Edward, now Jacob! When are you going to stop?"
My eyes were wide. I wasn't expecting her to explode on me like that. Then without thinking, I spoke. "Well Lauren maybe they would ask you out if they were interested in you." I covered my mouth realizing what I just said. Now she was really mad and I was really freaked out.
"You bitch!" Lauren slapped me leaving a red mark. "I'm pretty enough! Guys love me!" If Lauren were a dog there would be foam oozing from her mouth.
A massive figure emerged behind her, and grabbed her arm. "You do not hit Bella." I now knew who it was, and he was shaking. On the other hand, it could have been me. I couldn't tell anymore.
I stepped to him. "Jacob, I'm okay, calm down." I could hear him huff. He walked over to me and put his arm around my waist. Automatically I inched closer to him covering my face with his chest. My cheek was throbbing; I could tell a bruise was forming.
"No Bella, she hurt you. I may not hit girls, but that doesn't mean I won't get revenge" Jacob pulled me and himself away from Lauren as she still stood there steaming. He pulled me aside near a corner and examined my face. He gently touched my face his fingers leaving a trail of fire.
Involuntarily I let out a yelp of pain, the bruise was defiantly there. Jacob's face became stone for a second then softened again. "That Lauren is never getting near you again. I promise you." He kissed me pushing me against the wall until the bell reminded him we were still in school. "We better get to art." He said as he held my hand as we walked to class.
Thankfully I could cover my bruise most of my classes. Until my last one, gym, now I felt exposed. I walked out of the locker room covering my cheek as much as I could with my hand. All the guys filed out looking depressed. I knew the reason, they envied Jacob's well sculpted abs. This gave me a bit of a smile. Jacob was all mine and no one else's. He walked over to me and kissed my forehead. He then jogged over to the coach and talked to him. Mike walked over to me and he looked mad.
"Did he do this to you? Did he hurt you?" Mike grabbed my hand squeezing it gently looking into my eyes.
"No he didn't! Lauren slapped me." I said the last part quietly. I didn't want to revisit that moment when Jacob looked so scary. So much more his werewolf self rather than my Jacob.
He ran up to us and hugged me from behind. "I get to sit next to you and be with you in everything." Jacob was smiling as he kissed me cheek gingerly. "Also don't worry Mike; I'll get Lauren back for what she did to Bella." He looked serious as he talked to Mike.
We walked to our positions on the court. We were playing volleyball yet again; I was scared I was going to hit someone yet again. Luckily, for me since Jacob was on my team he took most of the balls. Sure I got to hit a few that actually made me look as if I weren't always so clumsy, but Jake was the one who most played.
Once class was over and we were all being dismissed to buses and cars Jacob caught up with me. "So Bella wanna come over to the garage so we can talk?" He put his arm around my waist as we walked towards his rabbit. Lauren was shooting me death glares, everyone else didn't really care for Jacob or me anymore. I nodded my head as we got into the car.
"Can we stop by my house real quick, I need to leave Charlie a note and some dinner." I was scared as to what Jacob was going to do to Lauren. All I knew was that it was bound to humiliate her; he would never actually hurt her.
So I hope you liked this chapter
I worked all day yesterday and some today
Writers block can be so grr
Yes a lot of people will be mad at me for using a word that isn't in the dictionary 'grr'
But eh, it's my favorite thing to type in say
So sorry if you have to put up with me.
I just hope you enjoyed it and that it wasn't to short.
