The Garage
Jacob must have seen the Volvo to because he sped up until he hit 95.
Edward was racing behind us.
We were getting close to the treaty ling because Edward began to slow down and Jacob began to speed up.
When we were finally across the treaty line Jacob slowed down and grinned triumphantly. Edward's Volvo had completely stopped.
"How was that for an escape huh?" Jacob said
I laughed and he laughed to. We got out and sat on the counters in Jakes garage. Wow I had been through so much here. Most of it was because of Edward but in wanting to hear him I found a new friend.
Wait. Was he a friend?
I thought about all of the times he had saved me. The motorcycles, the cliff diving, and most of all , he saved me from going insane when Edward left.
He was more that a friend.
That was obvious. The question is how much more?
Jake must of seen me thinking because he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Should I tell him the truth?
No if I'm wrong I don't want to get his hopes up.
"Um, nothing just thinking about what to make Charlie for dinner." I lied
"Oh"
"Hey Bells?"
"Yeah?'
He got off the counter and looked me in the eye.
"Look. I know you need some time to think and to trust in love again, but I want you to know that… I love you Bella. I just want you to know that I'll be here for you as a friend while you're healing. But when you need a boyfriend I want you to choose me. I would never ever do any thing to hurt you like he did. Just know that I'm here."
I just stared at him. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I was…speechless.
