Ten outfits later and my room now looking like a bomb went off, I finally decided on what I was going to wear. When I was younger I used to drive my mom insane because I changed my outfits so often during the day; she used to say that I was her little fashion model and that life was my catwalk. I ended up with a teal linen tunic, white skinny jeans and bright pink ballet flats. I've noticed over the last few weeks that I've been here that not many people dress the way I do with lots of color. My dad says it's because they don't have as colorful of a personality as I do but I just say that it's because none of the stores here sell clothes like this.
While I was getting ready, Jacob kept sending me text messages and I just kept ignoring him. I just don't understand how he thinks he can tell me who I can be friends with or who I can talk to. I mean, that girl Bella used to hang out with the Cullen's. They seemed pretty cold towards her when I mentioned her name. I wonder what happened. Maybe I'll ask Edward tonight.
Edward, I can only smile when I think about him. He's like a breath of fresh air to me right now. With everything that has been going on with Quil and Jacob, having someone who doesn't judge you is amazing. Jacob, I wish I could stop thinking about Jacob. He's just going to ruin my night if I keep going back to that.
"LK! There's someone here to see you." My dad yelled up to me.
"Coming!" I yell back. I wonder who that is. Edward isn't due here for another half hour.
As I make my way into the living room, I see Jacob sitting on our couch.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him coldly.
"LK, I really don't think that you should go out with Edward. There are things about him that you don't know about. He's dangerous."
"Jacob, I appreciate you wanting to look out for me but I can make my own decisions. He seems really nice and I don't know what you mean about dangerous but I can assure you that he's not going to hurt me."
"You don't know that! You don't know anything about him!"
"I may not know everything about him but I do know that he wants to be my friend and he didn't blow me off for someone else who hasn't been around in a while."
"Don't turn this into a Bella thing, LK. She has nothing to do with this."
"Yes she does have something to do with this. When I needed you, where were you? With her. Was Quil there, too? Cause he sure as hell doesn't want anything to do with me. Two days ago, you were saying how y'all weren't friends anymore and now it's like no one else exists to you."
"I'm just trying to protect you."
"Well don't! I don't need.."
"Lily Katherine, are you ok?" A new voice enters the conversation. Edwards voice; I smile and think 'Thank God he's here'. "Sorry I'm a bit early but I just wanted to spend more time with you. Jacob."
"Edward. I think you should leave and go back where you came from. You aren't wanted here."
"Damn it Jacob! How many times do I have to say that I WANT HIM HERE? He's my friend and we are going to hang out. And if you aren't OK with me having other friends, then I don't know why we are still talking."
"LK, he's a vampire! You shouldn't be hanging around those types"
I gasp and then start laughing, "Right, and you went to Hogwarts, Jacob. Come on, Edward. Let's get out of here. Jacob, you can show yourself out."
As we are walking to Edward's car, Jacob yells out to Edward, "You hurt her and I'll rip you to pieces! Do you understand me, Edward?"
"I would never hurt her, Mutt."
When we get to his car, he opens the door for me.
"What a gentleman, you are." I smile to him.
"What can I say, my parents raised me right. Ready to go?"
"Yeah, let's get out of here. I'm sorry for the trouble that Jacob was trying to stir up. I don't know what has come over him lately. It's like he's a totally different person."
"Well, Jacob and I don't really see eye to eye on most things. Our families have never really gotten along and you just kind of stirred that up for him." The last part of that he said while winking at me.
He starts up the car and spins out of the driveway kicking up dust. This is going to be a good night. I can feel it.
