Chapter Two
Charlie's Point of View
"Jacob did you get the supplies" Billy called out the door, as the truck pulled into view.
"Yea Dad" He rolls his eyes as Embry and Quil hopped out of the cab, following Jake into the house. "The construction company will be out here tomorrow to help out; I traded the guy for my services as a repair man for his truck, so it didn't cost us a cent."
"I knew I kept you around for something" Billy said smiling up at his son. "Quil and Embry, would you happen to own a tent?" Oh man he was up to something now.
"Uh yes sir?" Embry answered for the both of them.
"Good, bring them over. We're having a camp out!" Billy has gone crazy. "Let's get started shall we? First I want you two boys to go get the support beams and place them where ever the X's are on the paper, Charlie if you'll come with me, we need our mauls" This isn't going to turn out well.
Jacob's Point Of View
"Hey man, this is so cool" Embry walked into the room, a support beam over his shoulder.
"Yea I mean we get to miss school and everything!" Quil follows him in with another beam. "It's not every day you get to go demolish your best friend's house, with the permission of his dad"
"We're not demolishing it Quil" Embry snickers, acting like a five year old. "Wer'e giving it wings"
"So it's a flying house, Jake you never told me that" Quil said pretending to be upset. "Oh hey did you hear, Jared joined that gang of Sam's. The do gooders of La Push!" His hands came up at the last part doing sprit fingers or something, whatever it was it didn't look natural.
"Oh man really, I can't stand that guy. And the elders even love him like he's some progeny child. He dumps Leah, for her cousin, how can that be perfect?" I growl as i take the beam from their hands placing them on the duct taped X's on the ceiling and floor.
"So this Bella? is she hot?" Embry ask and elbows me in the ribs almost making me drop the beam on his face, I should have.
"Uhm I don't really remember her all that well, she was 9 last she was here"
"Oh man that sucks" Embry jokes.
"Yea man, I mean what if you're stuck living with an ugly chick all your life" Quil jumped in. "Is she going to school with us? Or the one in Forks"
"That's a good question" The school on the reservation was for kids on the reservation.
"Hey dude, that's the last of the beams, should we go get the mauls to help break your house" Embry calls from the truck.
"Yeah, let's go talk to my dad and Charlie first" Slapping Quil's back we head over to the garage to find Billy and Charlie talking to Harry Sr. about Bella's schooling arrangement.
**One Week Later**
"Dad!" I screamed looking into my bathroom bag, "Where'd my tooth brush go!"
"You don't have to yell son, Im sitting right here" I turn around to find my dad smiling at me with a smug grin like he was up to something. "Now that you're settled down, what are you looking for?"
"My toothbrush" I say as evenly as I could.
"OH yea I needed it to scrub the stickers off the new toilet bowls" He says laughing as he wheels himself out of the garage.
"What am I supposed to brush my teeth with now?" I ask slightly fed up.
"I never said you couldn't have it back" He comes back in with my worn out tooth brush. "Here Jake" he says handing it back. I look down at what was once my tooth brush, the bristles are worn down to stubs, and a gooey green slim covered the head of it. It's like he was trying to get me mad, ever since he heard about Jared joining Sam's gang. "You get so worked up over nothing" He laughs shaking his head as he rolls out into the yard.
Charlie stands near the sidewalk that was put in a few days ago, and guards the roof the contractors were putting on. Only took us a day to complete the second story of the house, and make an attic space. Good thing too, there is only one clear day this week, the rest of the week is supposed to be down pours.
"Now's your chance Billy wanna put the roof of sideways?" Charlie laughs at his joke, like it was funny or something.
"Nah, we should try to act normal, we do have neighbors you know" He laughs along with Charlie. "What's got your panties in a knot?" He asks me when he sees I wasn't laughing at their not funny jokes. Fuming I take off in a jog for the house.
"Hey, what do you need help with?" I ask Dave, the head contractor of the job.
"You could insulate the upstairs walls, with crew five" He suggests checking things off on his list. Smiling I run up the new hard wood stairs to get my hands busy.
Billy's Point of View
"Hey Sam" I whisper into the phone, even though I know nobody could hear me.
"Hey Billy How is he"
"Same as usual. He's not showing any signs of phasing yet"
"Good, good"
"So i was calling for a reason" I paused to gather my thoughts, "Charlie's Daughter is coming to live with us, so when the change does happen he can't stay here until we know for certain he's stable, I don't want to put her or Charlie into any danger. You know how temperamental woman can be, if she aggravates him enough he would phase in front of her, blow the secret and/or hurt her"
"Alright, we'll find somewhere for him to stay during the process don't worry about a thing" Sam sounds sure, so i guess i should relax now.
"I've been trying to coax it out of him you know. Purposely making him angry so we can just get it over with but it's not working" I confess.
"Billy you know there's only one thing can trigger it" he sighs at my efforts.
"Yea well, do you think you could pick Jake up a new toothbrush from the shop down the road from your place" I smile sheepishly though he couldn't see it.
"Billy... Never mind I don't want to know. I'll give it to you at the bonfire next week; I know how Jake and his friends don't like seeing us around very much."
"Oh shoot! Bella's coming next week, should we bring her to the bonfire?"
"Yea, bring Charlie too; it would be good for him, both of them." He says and clicks off the phone.
"Hey Charlie" I call out, as I stared at the house. He opened an upstairs window, which he helped put in.
"Yea?"
"Would Bella want to go to a Bon Fire next week?" I asks wheeling closer to the house, so I wouldn't have to yell as loud.
"Yea sure, im sure she'd like that" He closes the window after that.
"Hey Dave, how close are we to being finished" I ask wheeling awkwardly up the new ramp and into the house.
"Well the entire first floor is complete, just needs a bit of paint. Second floor has carpet in the bed rooms, and tile in the bath room. The walls are finished; they'll need paint as well. The roof is on, windows are installed, and doors will arrive tomorrow." He pauses to flip the page in his check list. "Attic floor is done; we put a window on either side of the wall up there to shed some light. Oh and your room is down stairs, Jacob couldn't figure out how you would roll yourself up the stairs. You can move your stuff in now if you'd like, while my guys are still here to help" He watches at me expectantly.
"Uh sure we'll do that" He shut his book and calls out too his workers to move the stuff back into the house. "Charlie will need bedroom furniture for himself and his daughter" I say out loud thinking to myself
"Alright we can get that stuff here tomorrow, just get me a call in the morning with what you'll need, and well pick it up. But that parts gunna cost you." Of course it would, Sighing I pulled 400 dollars from Charlie's wallet that lay on the table, and handed it over. "I'll get the change to you tomorrow." He smiled leaving a catalog of furniture from his company on the table.
"Hey Billy" Charlie came down stairs, "I just realized I don't own anything furniture"
"I've taken care of it, look though the book and pick out what you like but don't go over four hundred."
"Why four hundred"
"Cause that's what you've paid that man" I smiled and rolled out to get a box of junk from the garage. He looks into his wallet, finding half his money gone.
"Billy!" He growls, I just laugh.
