'Jacob, before I start. I'm sorry I left you without saying goodbye and Edward didn't change me either.' I said this as he would no doubt try to pick a fight about the treaty. He nodded his head. I am still going to rip his fingers from his hands and eat them. I grimaced. His face looked alarmed.
'Jacob, I can read thoughts. I know what you just said and I can steal anybodies power.' I thought it was best to fill him in; he deserved to be in the know.
His eyes widened. 'Your, like, better than the others aren't you? As in with powers and are you are going to be stronger too?' I chuckled to his unexpected reaction.
'I most likely already am!' His grin, that beautiful and soothing grin, reappeared and his eyes lit up. Arm wrestle me please!! I looked at him with a surprised face and then I smiled. I nodded, I love Jacob. He was so easy to be with, and the thing I was most worried about didn't affect our friendship, only now I am like his personal fight partner.
Well, sort of.
I knelt down next to and rested my elbow on the table he followed and our hands touched. I loved his warmth, it burnt against my freezing skin and my skin probably froze his. He winced. 'Not the same.'
I was worried about that reaction, which was the one I didn't want to see at all. His hand pulled away. And his smile faded.
'I'm sorry, Jake. I didn't think, but please don't hate me.'
'Naw, I'm not going to hate you Bella. Of course not!' He smiled again, but it didn't reach his eyes.
Our hands gripped again this time with an electric shock that made me jump; he laughed at me and said I was a wimp. I scowled. '3, 2, 1, Go!' I said and as soon as I said go his hand slammed into the table, I won. And he was incredibly weak!
How could that work out? My mouth formed into a shape of an 'O' and my eyes widened. 'Sorry.'
'Aww, Bella. Anyway so I don't feel too bad on losing to a girl… what did you want to talk to me about?' I didn't realise how wide I was grinning until it started to fade. This wasn't the sort of thing I talk to Jacob about yet, I felt I was obliged to. I dropped my head, only to feel Jakes warm finger lifting my chin again. Your so beautiful, Bella.
If it was possible for me to blush I would have. 'Erm, yeah. Jake. I came here because I wanted to escape my thoughts.' He looked at me with a blank expression obviously waiting for me to carry on. I spoke to him about my whole story up to running away and his eyes widened at every part he felt uncomfortable with. 'W-o-w.' was his best answer.
I grinned sheepishly at him and he gave me a caring smile back. 'Jacob, I don't know how to refuse Felix, and if I do when do I do it?'
He looked thoughtful for a minute then he decided his answer. Although I knew what was coming I still wanted him to say it, even though I came here for Jacobs advice, the fact that he wasn't going to advise me lingered in my brain. And I knew the only reason I ran to Jacob's house and ended up here, was the exact reason he was going to give me.
'Bella, I don't know what to say. I can help you have some fun though; you can escape your thoughts? Yeah?' That was why I loved Jacob; everything is simple with him, no questioning, and no mystery. Just straight up answers. I smiled.
'So Bella, I know you kind of are a vampire now'- he winced at the penultimate word-'so I was thinking, do you err…'-he scratched the back of his head awkwardly-'do you want to go cliff diving? I mean you don't have to, but now your stronger it can be fun right?' I laughed, and laughed hard.
It wasn't the question I was thinking of, yet it seemed the nicest. I nodded and he took my hand to walk out the door.
