Chapter 5
This was not happening, it couldn't be happening. I stared down at my lap trying to cover my face, using my black hair as a shield from the world, or in this case Jacob Black. The loud sound faded out, and I heard footsteps soon after, but going in the opposite direction. I sighed thankfully, my heart going back to it's normal rate. Then ever so slowly, I looked up.
There was the mighty, tough Jacob Black hugging a little girl, and kissing her head. I smiled slightly at the sight before me. I stood up slowly trying to get to the woods before he noticed me, but with my luck, I tripped. I almost fell flat on my face, but two strong, tanned arms caught me. I jumped in shock, as the electricity went through me.
"How did you get over here so fast?" I whispered, as he stood us back up. He took a step away from me, with a smirk on his face. "Well I am a track star. So I should be fast." He laughed to himself, but quit when he realized I was not smiling with him.
"But, you were with that little girl. I was across the street….I" I couldn't finished the sentence. First of all, I had no idea how to, and second he started laughing.
"I was already here, remember?" He said seriously. Now it was my turn to laugh.
"You honestly expect me to believe that shit?" I asked incredulously. "This isn't a Twilight story in the making, okay?" I couldn't believe I just said that to him. He laughed even harder than before.
"I assure you I am not a vampire Gabriella, don't worry." He said trying to stifle his laughs.
"So you have seen the movie?" I asked smiling. His eyes widened, while he was trying to think of what to say.
"My, my sister, Kayley, wanted to watch it." He said pointing to the little girl playing with sidewalk chalk.
"She looks like she's 5 Jake, I doubt she even knows what Twilight is." I told him, finally winning.
"Whatever, so what are you doing over here, last time I checked, you live over there." He said pointing to the woods.
"Well, I was with Troy, but, we uh, got into a fight." I said quietly. Jacob started to laugh again, but this time it sounded melodic. "You and Troy? Fighting, I would kill to see that happen." His mouth was joking, but when I looked into his brown eyes, I noticed furry, not humor in the slightest. He sat down on the bench, and gestured for me to sit. I carefully sat next to him, and gave him a curious look.
"What?" he asked, no longing laughing.
"Why don't you think we fight?"
"Because Troy is always so protective of you, I would never imagine him being mean to you." He said as if it was simple. "So what was the fight about?" I looked up startled from the question.
"Um, it's not important." I tried to end the conversation.
"It obviously is if Bolton is mad at you."
"Fine, we were fighting about how he controls me." I said, I could feel tears threatening to fall, but I didn't want to look like a fool.
"Hey, don't be embarrassed, what else happened, your clothes, and face have dirt everywhere, so it had to be more than that." He put a comforting arm around me, and I felt the sparks again. I relaxed into his side.
"Well it was getting pretty bad, and so I jumped out of his car." I summed up.
"Wait, you jumped out of his car, while he was driving?" He asked incredulously, looking down at me. I nodded shyly, and I felt him stand up.
"How could you be so careless! You could have gotten hurt, or killed! What were you thinking." He started yelling then finally kneeled down in front of me, watching my tears flow down my dirt smudged cheeks.
"I….I had to get out of there Jacob. You don't know what he's like." I stated firmly.
"Well, I think I have a pretty good idea now. Tomorrow, your breaking up with him." He stated grabbing my hands.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"But Jake my parents would never let that happen, and Troy would freak." I said thinking of all the outcomes to this idea.
"I'll be there with you." He explained standing up, and holding out his hand for me to grasp. I cautiously took it, and stood up beside him.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To your house."
