Chapter 5
Jacob's pov
~Editors note~ Two weeks have passed, Vanessa's casts and head wrap are off.~
I hated the new guy. He was too good, too honest. All he ever talked about was his sister. How she had been abused and hurt. I kind of felt bad for you. She was still a mystery though. The only people who have seen her are Sam, Emily, and Cody of course. I was kind of curious to see what she looked like. Their was a bonfire tonight and Cody had said that Vanessa was coming. Finally get a glimpse of I guess. Jared, Paul, and me were setting up for the bonfire. Getting wood. OK, more like getting trees and breaking them in half. It was a big fire pit... It was getting dark, I was still keeping an eye out for Vanessa. Then I thought, how am I supposed to look for her if I have no idea what she looks like? Dilemma? Yeah. I saw Cody by himself. If I wanted to catch a glimpse of his sister I should probably see if she's coming. "Hey Cody. Isn't your sister coming?" He gave me this dirty look. Whoa, protective much? He softened a bit and said," She's coming with Emily. Should be here soon. Why?" There was that evil glare again. For someone good and honest, he sure did give good dirty looks. "Just wondering." He softened his expression again and smiled. From bad to good just like that. I saw Emily's car pull up, and saw a tall shadowy figure in the back seat. If that was his sister why was she sitting in the back seat? It didn't look like there was anyone in the front. Emily got out and opened the back door. Cody saw me staring and I looked away. Paul nudged me and I sat down on one of the logs that was set up by the fire. Then I heard this angelic voice say, "Emily, I'm fine. It's alright. I can walk." That heavenly angel was not his sister. It couldn't be. I saw Cody run up and give her a hug. Oh my God it is! I had to get a closer look. She was attached to Cody's arm, she seemed afraid. She sat down directly across from me. She was even more beautiful than her voice. I tried not to stare but I couldn't help myself. I had to talk to her. That's when I could stare at her amazing features. I was going to a***yze and memorize them. For once, I couldn't eat. I wasn't paying attention to anything. I just was thinking of what to say to her. My mind was blank. I could not wing this. Think, Jacob, think! I tried to ease my thoughts and focus on the stories being told. It worked. Thank God! Now if I only had something to say to her...
