Sarah POV
I snuck out of the cabin trying to make as little noise as possible. Everyone was still asleep and I was heading off to the book signing with Zach. I shut the door quietly and bolted down the steps.
"Going somewhere" Uncle Jasper asked from his cabin balcony.
"Uh… yeah just have to go and get a few things from the book store in town"
"Want a lift?" he offered
"Um no thanks, it's ok, I'm going to be a while and I need to do some personal shopping too" I said and he nodded.
"Oh well, have fun then"
"Bye uncle Jasper" I said breathing a sigh of relief.
I ran down to the entrance and saw Zach was already there in his car waiting. I jumped in and did up my seatbelt.
"Morning" he said smiling
"Morning" I replied. He smiled back and hit the gas. We talked and talked the whole way there about everything and anything, it turned out that I had a lot in common with my so called enemy. We walked over to the bookshop and waited in line to get our novels signed. We both waited anxiously for our turn.
"I'm really glad you asked me to come out today" I said to him and he looked at me shocked
"Really… so am I" he said smiling then he stopped and looked away. What was that all about? Was he ashamed of me?
I looked down and sighed.
"So are you as excited as I am?" he asked his mood changing completely.
"Yes! I'm so excited you have no idea"
"I think I can guess" he said laughing and I blushed
"Well aren't you?" I asked and he nodded
"Immensely, I've been waiting to see this author for ages, her book is so fantastic"
"Finally someone who understands" I said smiling
"I know what you mean believe me" he said looking around the people in front of us to try and get a glimpse of the author. The line moved fairly quickly after that and soon enough we were at the front. She signed our books and shook our hands.
"I'm so glad that you both love my books, it's a good thing to know" she said smiling
"Thanks for signing our books" I said on the way out
"Thanks" Zach said following me out the door
"So ready to go home?" he asked and I looked at him puzzled
"You don't want to hang out after?" I asked a bit taken back
"Uhh… I can't" he said shaking his head
"What is up with you… are you embarrassed to be seen with me or to talk to me"
"You don't understand, it's my dad, I can't betray him… I can't be seen with you, I'm not supposed to enjoy your company"
"Ahh… I see how it is… your brother is going out with Katie, he's breaking the rules but you can't" I said judgmentally
"Because, unlike my brother I knew it would kill my father and what are you trying to say, that you want me to break the rules to date you?" he asked
"N-no, that's um not what I meant, I mean yuck, me going out with you…"
"Uhh… yeah… I know right, why would you even think about that" he said looking away
"Just take me home" I said way past embarrassment
"Fine" he said walking out of the mall to his car. The car ride home was quiet and I stared out the passenger window the whole time. When we arrived home I slammed the passenger door and started walking down the path to my cabin.
"I'm sorry" I heard him say from the car. I turned to face him and he sighed.
"Is that really gonna change anything" I said and he lowered his head
"Probably not" he said running his hand through his hair
"That's all I needed to hear" I said walking back down to my cabin and collapsing onto my bed.
Tommy POV
"You know Tommy I didn't take you for the type who liked to watch Disney movies" I heard a voice say from behind me.
I jumped out of my seat and pressed stop on The Lion King.
"What are you doing here Ashhikins, shouldn't you be praising your father right now?" I asked teasing her. Last time I saw her all she did was be a daddy's girl and dob everyone in.
"Always the smartass Tommy" she said laughing and I laughed back
"Yeah well…" I said smiling
"So why are you here? Are you stalking me?" I asked hoping she was
"What, no, would I ever stalk you?" she said blushing and I rolled my eyes
"You know you can't deny the Tominator" I said flexing my biceps. She cracked up laughing and started stumbling before tripping and pushing me onto the floor in shock. She stopped laughing and looked at me. We lay there for what seemed like minutes before we realised what we were doing.
"I'm-m s-sorry" she said getting up of me
"T-that's ok" I said not quite sure what to do
"Uh… I'm going to go and um find my brothers" she said
"Aww Ash, you don't have to leave" I said
"Yeah, I shouldn't be seen with you, you know what dad would say" she said laughing
"Always the daddy's girl" I said shaking my head. She laughed and walked out of the recreation room with the biggest smile on her face. Hmm, I wonder if I can continue watching Lion King even though I pressed stop. Only one way to find out
Kira's POV
Jake and I were walking down to the pool just being like we usually were when we came across Daniel.
"Hey Kira" he said smiling at me "Cullen" he said nodding towards Jake
"Miller" Jake said doing the same as Daniel had done to him
"Hey Daniel, how are you?"
"Good thank you, yourself?" he asked
"Yeah pretty good thank you"
"Wow, you know you look gorgeous today" he said to me and I blushed, I didn't take compliments very well like my mother.
"Oh thank you Daniel, that's nice of you to say"
"It's the truth" he said smiling
Jake tensed up beside me and I looked away awkwardly.
"Anyways, I guess I'll see you later I guess" he said smiling. He kissed me on the cheek and walked off.
"What a …" I cut him off before he said any more
"Jake, calm down" I said rolling my eyes
"Did you see the way he looked at you? It was as if he was madly in love with you! He doesn't want to be friends Kira" he said angrily
"Why do you care if he wants to date me?"I asked hoping that maybe, just maybe he would be jealous!
"I don't… care… I just… your like a sister to me and I can tell he'll treat you wrong" he said way past frustrated
"A sister" I whispered and I looked down "I'm like a sister to you?" I asked disappointed
"I'm very overprotective of you ok, you're my best friend and I don't want you fooling around with some idiot, who is only going to use you and who is the son of the other biggest tool!"
"Jake, I can take care of myself… I don't need my 'big brother' telling me who I can and can't date… I'm aware who his father is thankyou very much, now excuse me, but I have to go" I said running away from him.
"Just run away Kira, run like you always do!" I heard him yell from behind me. Ugh, he was such a … ugh! He did this every time a guy showed an interest in me!
I saw him kick a tree and I sighed. Maybe things weren't meant to be between us? Maybe he was just my 'brother'. I sighed and walked into my cabin.
Tonight, we are having dinner with the other families, great, I did not want to see Jake tonight! I put on one of my nicest dresses and straightened my hair. I put on make up and sighed, if I didn't want to see him, why was I going to all this trouble? I sighed and grabbed my purse. My family were already ready and we headed off to dinner.
While we were in the car I couldn't help but notice my brother laughing and texting on his phone. He had the goofiest smile on his face and I rolled my eyes.
"What's so funny?" I asked and he just shook his head
"Nothing" he said never taking his eyes off the screen
"Right, whatever you say…" I said and dad looked in the rear view mirror.
"Son, what are you doing that is so entertaining"
"Nothing guys! Just but out!" he said frowning at everyone
"Oh, you know what, I know what that face is, it looks like someone has a crush" my dad said laughing and Anth blushed.
"I do not, ok, just everyone go back to doing what they were doing alright?"
"Ok son, whatever you say" I heard my parents whispering and snickering in the front and I sighed. I hated love, love is so stupid! Well, maybe it's only Jake who is stupid.
We arrived at the restaurant in no time and took our seats. Everyone had arrived and I was sitting across from Jake, figures. He didn't look at me and I didn't look at him. However, AJ and Lilly practically couldn't take their eyes off one another, ok, there is definitely something going on here. They noticed me staring and looked away. I saw the garlic bread next to Jake and sighed, I wanted that! I looked up and him and sighed.
"Hey Jake, can I please have the garlic bread?" I asked in a polite manner not wanting to cause a scene
He grabbed the garlic bread and gave it to me without a word. I rolled my eyes again… it was kinda my signature thing… like my dad. We looked at each other for a minute before we both turned away furious.
"Jesus, what's up with you guys?" Tommy asked looking at us with a shocked look on his face
"Nothing, were peachy, aren't we Kira" Jake asked me and I rolled my eyes
"Peachy" I said mimicking him perfectly. Everyone at the table stopped to stare at us and I felt embarrassed.
"Awkward" he said looking away. Jake and I stared at each other for a while before we finally looked away. There was tension in the air and I sighed, maybe I was overreacting. Maybe, I made a fuss out of things. I should apologise when we get back home.
JPOV (Jake)
I was walking down the path with my hands in my pockets feeling pretty bad about the way I acted, maybe I shouldn't have told her what to do, but I was so jealous, it all just slipped out. I was on one of my late night walks around the lodge, yes, I'm very strange, but it's where I do all my thinking. I was no walking past the pool, kicking a couple of rocks on the pavement as I walked. I sighed but quickly hid behind a wall when I heard Ryan and Daniel Miller, talking in the rec room. I didn't want to eavesdrop, oh who am I kidding, of course I wanted to eavesdrop. I listened in carefully and started to pick up on their conversation.
"Very good son, now that you've got darling Edward's daughter wrapped around your finger, I want you to attack, I need you to get as close to her father as possible. I need you to break her heart, she'll be so devastated and Edward will be so furious when he finds out who broke it! It's perfect!" Ryan said enthusiastically
"Thanks dad, I'll do my best, but I don't know if it will work, she's always with that Jake kid" he said and I stood there in shock.
"You have to separate break them up, do something! Anything! I'm counting on you" he said and I couldn't hear anymore. I ran up to Kira's cabin and knocked on the door. Bella answered and I smiled.
"Hi Bella, I was wondering if I could talk to Kira?" I asked
"Oh sorry honey, she's just fallen asleep and I don't want to wake her, she is quite upset" she said
"Oh that's ok, when she wakes up can you tell her I'm sorry and to come and see me tomorrow?" I asked and Bella nodded. She gave me a 3 minute hug and 2 kisses. She was very emotional today.
"Sorry, darling, it's the hormonal, emotional stage of my pregnancy, it comes earlier and earlier every time!" she said laughing
"No problem Bella, anyways I better get some sleep, goodnight" I said waving
"Goodnight, take care" she said and I smiled running back to my own cabin.
KPOV (Kira)
I got up early the next day feeling horrible; I'm such a drama queen. I grabbed my breakfast and sat on the chair outside. I had my phone next to me waiting for a text message from Jake. I checked my phone every 5 seconds still nothing.
I looked up at the lodge and saw Jake walking around with his hands in his pockets. I put my plate away and ran down towards him.
"Jake" I called and he looked up
"Hey" he said "Look there's something I have to tell you" he said
"What?" I asked puffing slightly from the run down
"It's about Daniel, he's using you to get to your father" he said
"Jake…" I said not believing a word he said. Was this another over protective phase? Why would Daniel do that?
"Kira, believe me, I heard them talking last night! Ryan wants to get back at your father for something, I don't know what! He's making Daniel like you, go out with you and break your heart!"
"Jake, if this is supposed to make me stay away from Daniel then…"
"Kira, please just listen! Who are you going to believe? Some jerk who has always been your enemy or your best friend who would never lie to you?" he said and I sighed
"You…" I said knowing that every thing he just said was nothing but the truth. Daniel was using me, I feel so stupid!
"I'm sorry" he said and I bit my lip in embarrassment, I'm such a fool
"It's ok, don't worry, he's just a jerk" I said and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Thanks for telling me Jake and I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday, I was a drama queen"
"Don't worry about it, I was a jerk too" he said and I smiled.
What would I ever do without my best friend… as for Daniel… lets just say, revenge is sweet!
