Chapter 4: Difficulties Arise…

Quietly Jake coasted to the back of Lily's garage. Thankfully, the boys in front couldn't see him. Quickly Jake stopped and leaned his bike on the side of the garage. Hurrying, he walked up to the back door of the house, where Lily was waiting for him.

It startled Jake to see Lily in tears when she opened up the door for him. 'Man,' Jake thought. 'Those guys must have scared her pretty bad.' He put his hands on her shoulders. "Are you going to be okay?" he asked her seriously.

"Yeah, I am o-" her voice cracked and she broke down. "No, I am not okay." She sobbed.

Jake pulled her close, letting her cry on his shoulder. Stroking the back of her head, he glanced at the clock. 'If we want to get to school, we had better get going.' He realized. Thankfully, Lily's sobs had stopped, so he gently said, "Lily its time we went to school." Lily nodded, then went to the sink, and splashed some water on her face.

"They're still there Jake." Lily informed him sullenly, as she patted her face dry with a towel. After putting the towel back, she walked back to Jake. Taking his hand she looked up at him, and asked, "How sure are you, that this is going to work?"

Jake smiled, pulling Lily closer, "Completely sure. If they can't see the back lane, then this should work."

"And if it doesn't?"

"Then we're going to have to fight." Jake told her grimly. Then he smiled and said, "Come on, or else we are going to be late."

"Your right." They walked out the back door, and Lily quickly locked it behind them. Wheeling her bike, Lily came out of her yard with Jake, and they both donned their helmets.

Even though it was beautiful out, they were both tense at the prospect of getting caught. Jake waited until Lily had get on her bike, before getting on his bike. Together they biked silently down the alley, until they were sure they hadn't been seen. When they finally hit the street, they started to relax.

Jake looked at Lily out of the corner of his eye. Even though Lily wasn't smiling, her eyes were twinkling with excitement. Jake refocused on the road. Just as he saw their school, Jake thought to himself, 'Better check to see if we've been followed.' Closing his eyes, he looked over his right shoulder. When he opened them a moment later, he saw no one was there. Jake turned and let a shout of victory escape from his lips. Looking at Lily he told her, "We made a clean break! We did it!"

"Yes!" Lily cried triumphantly, taking one hand off the handle bar, and lifted it above her head.

Edward met them at the bike rack, when they got to school, with a worried expression on his face. "Guys, I have bad news."
