Hey my lovely readers! I am so sorry I haven't updated for a while but I just wasn't feeling inspired. Consider that gone! After seeing the new movie, I have a renewed sense of passion for this story and I hope that I will be updating this more for y'all! Thanks for sticking with me and forever and always, go Team Jacob! :-)
As the days passed and I didn't hear from Jacob, I started feeling more and more anxious. I could not really understand why I was feeling this way. I was supposed to be mad at him. We had a fight and now I am feeling like I have been betraying him by not calling and by thinking about the Cullen's.
The Cullen family. What a wonderful family. There were no questions asked, accept for Rosalie, about accepting me into their lives. I could not be more thankful about that. Esme has stepped into a void that I didn't think was possible. After I lost my mother, I never thought that someone would be able to hug me and make me feel better. It was something that just came out of the blue. And Alice, oh sweet Alice! She is the sister that I never knew I wanted. To have someone to stay up late at night and gossip and just laugh about boys and all the crazy things that go on in our lives. The whole family is wonderful. Even Edward. I think the reason that I gravitated toward him was because I was scared about what I was feeling with Jacob and he was safe. He was safe because I knew that his heart belonged with Bella. I knew that no matter what, nothing would ever happen because of my feelings for Jacob and his for Bella.
And then I think about Jacob. He did not trust me enough to tell me about his secret. Even after I knew, he pushed me away when the Cullen's pulled me closer to let me know that everything would be OK. I wanted so badly for Jacob to do that. I wanted to badly for him to just hug me and tell me that nothing would tear us apart. He was one of the first people here to accept me and to bring me into their lives. I needed him to need me, to want me and I needed him to know that I wanted the same. Yes, Edward, Alice and their family have been amazing and I could never thank them enough, but there was something about Jacob that I just had to be close to him. It was not just a want; it was a need to be close to him.
I wanted to call him. I needed to hear his voice and for him to tell me that everything would be OK between us. But I was afraid of what he would say. What if he did not feel the same way anymore? What if, after our fight, he decided that I was not worth the trouble? All of these questions and feeling of self-doubt were running through my head at a million miles an hour and there was nothing that I could do to stop them. I needed to hear Jacob's voice. At the end of the day it's the only thing that I wanted but I had screwed up. I pushed him away and I don't know how I can put things back to where they were before I freaked out.
My cell ringing snapped me out of my thoughts and I picked it up before I looked at the caller ID.
"Jacob?" I almost yelled.
"No Lily Katherine, it's just me Alice. I take it you have not talked to the puppy yet?" She replied.
"No." I said with a sad tone in my voice. I must admit, I feel quite dejected right now. "He hasn't called me and I haven't called him. I just really want to hear his voice but I don't even know where to begin that conversation." I said.
"How about you start that conversation with a simple hello?" Another voice came into my ears.
I turned around and standing in the door was the one person that I wanted to see most. Jacob. He grabbed the phone from my hand.
"Sorry blood-sucker. LK is going to have to call you back later." Jacob said as he hung up on Alice. Bet she didn't see that one coming.
As soon as the phone was thrown on the ground, I ran and launched myself into his arms and held on for dear life.
"I am so sorry, Jacob! You didn't deserve the way that I treated you. I've been beating myself non-stop since then and so afraid to call you. Can you ever forgive me? Being away from you was terrible. I felt so terrible for pushing you away! I promise I will never act like that ever again!" I rambled on.
"LK, everything is OK. I'm not mad at you. Yes, I was hurt at first but I'm not anymore. I was never mad at you. I thought you would need space to think about everything." He replied. "So, how is the space thing working out?"
"I don't need to think about things anymore. I realized that by you not telling me that you were just trying to protect me and I was just acting like a brat. Who you are is wonderful werewolf and all. It just took me a while to realize that I like you for all of you, animal included." I said as I realized that I was still hugging him and I quickly let go. "Sorry about that. I am just so happy to see you."
"Don't ever be sorry for hugging me; I like it." He said with a goofy grin on his face. With that he pulled me back into his arms and gave me another bone crushing hug. I never wanted this moment to end.
"Thank you for forgiving me, Jake. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't."
"Ladybug, it's going to take a lot more than a little fight to push me away. Trust me, you are stuck with me." He said laughing.
As I stood there in his arms, I had never felt more at home. He was who I wanted to be with and my stupidity almost ruined that. He was good enough to forgive me but it was going to take a while for me to stop beating up on myself. Him being a werewolf doesn't make him any less attractive or funny or smart. In fact, him being a werewolf almost makes him even more attractive, if that's at all possible.
"What running through your head, LK?"
"Just thinking about things. You things."
"Me things? What kind of me things are you thinking about? The fact that me being a werewolf is crazy sexy and you don't want to keep your hands off of me?" He said jokingly.
My face must have turned beet-red cause he just started laughing.
"Maybe you are a little sexy but I wouldn't go as far as crazy sexy. You know who is crazy sexy? Ryan Gosling and that Alcede guy from True Blood … and funnily enough, he's a werewolf, too. I wonder if I just have a thing for hot blooded animals that howl."
"You want sexy? I can show you sexy!"
"Lily Katherine! Jacob! I will not have you talking like that in my house. Out! Both of you get out of here so that I can make my ears stop bleeding!" My dad said with a wicked grin.
"Sorry Daddy!" I grabbed Jacob's hand and started to walk past my dad but before I did I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I love you Daddy."
"Love you too baby girl. Oh and Jacob, if you ever think about hurting my little girl, I will hunt you down and kill you. Got it?"
"Yes sir! I got it." And with that Jacob and I were out the door to who knows where but at least we were together for the moment. Neither of us knew what dangers were looming in the future.
