Chapter 3

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" I yelled walking into the foyer. I heard light footsteps as I set my bag down.

"Baby, I've missed you. How was your weekend?" My mother, Mercedes, exclaimed walking out of the kitchen with her arms held out. I walked into my mother's embrace and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

"It was okay." I said pulling away.

"Okay? Why just okay? What happened?" My mother said in a serious tone, putting her hands on her hips.

"Nothing bad happened, well nothing good happened either. It was boring, my friends were boring." I stated walking down the hall towards the kitchen with my mother following.

"Don't talk down on your friends like that, I raised you better. Why di-" My mother was cut off as my father, Dion, entered talking boldly.

"Gabriella, my sweet daughter, I've missed you." He hugged my close, then pulled back. His eyes drifted toward my mothers catching her look.

"Did I interrupt something?" he asked.

"Yes. Gabriella was telling me about her boring weekend. Which I think is very rude to say. The Evans let you stay at that resort for nothing, and you think you have the right to complain, I'm very ashamed of you right now Gabriella." My mother lectured. I looked at my father, and in his eyes you could see he hated the way she was being, but always supported her.

"Your mother is right Gabriella. That is very disrespectful." He said. He went over to the coffee maker, but not before kissing my mother's forehead.

"Gabriella, you are grounded." My mother stated.

"What? What did I do?" I asked confused.

"You know what you did." She responded, then walked out of the room.

"Dad please." I begged him. He looked at me, and shook his head before leaving the room. I huffed, and let tears water over my eyes, then walked up the stairs, and into my room where I would be held captive.

"Gabriella wait up!" I heard someone call my name as I walked down the halls of East High. I turned around and my eyes found those of Jacob Black. I stopped walking and waited for him to catch up.

"We shouldn't be talking." I told him as he reached me.

"Why? Scared?" He grinned.

"No, just my boyfriend, wouldn't like it." I said starting to walk again.

"So your boyfriend controls everything you do?" He laughed, thinking I was joking.

"Basically." I muttered.

"I don't understand. When your boyfriend's around you, no one comes with in ten feet of you. I never see you at parties, do you have a life?" He said, still having a sarcastic edge.

"Just because I don't go to parties doesn't mean I don't have a life." I explained, I noticed Troy at the end of the hall and panicked.

"I have to go!" I shouted. I was about to take off, but Jacob caught my arm and pulled me back.

'No, no, no!' My mind screamed.

"What!" I yelled at him.

"I want to meet this Bolton." He smiled at my anger.

"No, you can't." I started to walk away again, but he grabbed my arm for the second time. I looked over to where Troy was, and noticed him and Chad walking this way looking pretty pissed.

"Seriously Jacob, if you don't want to be killed, I suggest you leave, now!" I pratically yelled.

"Bolton won't mess with me Brie-Ella, don't worry so much." He shrugged it off. My hands started to shake, and Jacob noticed.

"Your serious about this, aren't you?" He asked, finally seeing the light. I nodded my head, and he looked up at Troy who was five feet away.

"Get away from her." Troy growled, and forcfully pulled me out of Jacob's grasp.

"Hey! You don't have a right to tell her what to do." Jacob seethed back. Troy, and Jacob were inches away, and Chad was holding onto my arms while he was behind me.

"Yes I do. You don't have a right to touch her!" Troy yelled getting red.

"I have as much right as you, jackass." Jacob punched Troy in the face, and Troy stumbled back before standing up straight again. Jacob was smiling away, proud of his hit. Troy threw a punch at Jacobs stomach, and he doubled over. Jordan Miller noticed the scene, and ran over. He successfully missed Troy's punch and punched Troy in the jaw causing Troy to start bleeding. Jacob stood up, and punched Chad, which made him release his tight grasp on my arm. Jordan and Troy were fighting while Jacob came up to me.

"Brie, go outside, and wait by my motorcycle, now!" He said quickly. I didn't think twice but just ran towards the doors, and into the bright light. I walked to his bike, but decided to sit on the curb beside it. I sat there for what felt like 20 minutes, and then started thinking. Why am I here? I should be with Troy. Why listen to a guy a met yesterday, over my boyfriend. Then again, maybe this is a sign. But then again, may-

"Hey." Jacob said breathing heavily. I was snapped out of my thoughts, and looked up. He was smiling away, and I felt my breath hitch.

"What happened?" I forced out.

"Well I knocked out Troy. Hope you don't mind. Anyways, the principal came over. Pulled me away. I have a week of detention, and Troy should be at the hospital right now." He summarized. He walked over to me while I was processing what happened. He sat beside me, and let out a sigh.

"Oh my god!" I yelled.

"What?" He jumped.

"Troy's in the hospital, I have to go." I stood up quickly, but Jacob caught my arm. I turned around angrily and yelled in his face, "What!".

"Well I was just going to offer you a ride, but now you can forget about it." He grimaced.

"I wouldn't have accepted anyway. Bye." I ran across the parking lot, and got into my car. Jacob sat back down on the curb, and waved as I drove by.
