I waited quietly, humming to the beat that played over and over in my head. I wasn't going to start singing it; since I knew if I did, Jeremy would suddenly sneak up and record it. Trust me, he's done it more than twice. I don't see why he likes it so much, but that's Jer for ya.
I glanced around, sitting on the porch and fiddled with a loose strand of my lush, blonde hair with lavander streaks at the roots. I had gotten bored with my hair and decided to do something different. Some strands were curled but most hung done straight. The black eyeliner, brought out my electric green eyes more. I sighed quietly, wondering if he'd ever show up as I picked at a imaginary speck of dirt on my dress.
Jacob had called early, giving the message to Jeremy, since I was in the shower at the time, on telling me to get ready. Jer asked me why, after relaying Jake's message to me.
I had shrugged saying, "It's nothing... he just won a bet."
Jeremy had raised a eyebrow at that and laughed quietly, nodding before he walked out of my room, letting me get ready. The dress I had chosen was a beautiful white dress that came down to my knees, a red lace like corset wrapping around my waist. You don't have to guess who bought the dress. I rolled my eyes and threw a glare at Jeremy as I walked downstairs.
"Well?"
"You look great... Hold on." Jeremy said, showing a soft smile before vanishing down the hall. I blinked and let out a small groan. Not a camera... please. I hit my head, sighing. My nightmare had came true. Jer walked back, carrying a expensive black camera in his hands. He smiled before turning it on and took a quick picture.
"What are you going to do with these photos?" I muttered crossing my arms as I refused to be a model right then.
"Hmm, just copy them, put them in our photo albums and send them to Antonio." Jeremy laughed lightly.
I sighed, "I knew you'd do that."
"Of course, I'm going to put it under as 'Elle's First Date' "
"You do and I swear I'll burn that album." I warned scowling lightly at him.
"You don't have to worry I ---" Jeremy was cut off by a polite knocking on the door. I glanced at Jeremy before moving swiftly to the door, before Jeremy could take a step. I flashed a grin to Jer and opened the door.
"Hello..." I trailed off, blinking as I looked up. Jacob stood there, flashing a grin, his hair framed down his face, his brown eyes shining as his cheeks turned a faint red, though it was invisible because of his tan.
"Hello Elena." Jacob said politely and nodded his head. I smiled, grabbing my bag as I glanced back at Jeremy, "Going now Jer, be back later."
"Alright, don't stay out too late." Jeremy muttered, walking over.
Jacob blinked seeing the camera and grinned, "Let's get a photo taken." He suggested placing his hand around my waist. I held in a shiver and leaned lightly against Jacob, trying to hold back a blush.
Jeremy chuckled lightly, raising the camera as he hit the button, snapping a photo of us.
"Thanks Jer." I mumbled.
Jacob nodded, "Yeah, could you take a copy of it? I'm sure my dad would like to see it." Jacob grinned.
I rolled my eyes, "No, showing family." I sighed, shaking my head.
"You're no fun... well. I'm takin' Elle now." Jacob smiled, nodding to Jeremy.
"See ya later Jer." I waved and let Jacob led me to a sleek yellow car - mustang, with two black stripes on it.
I covered my mouth with my free hand to refrain from laughing, "Don't tell me there's a bumble bee air freshener in there." I joked lightly.
Jacob blinked looking down at me and laughed, "Maybe..." Jacob grinned, holding me closer. I blinked and couldn't help but laugh, patting his arm lightly.
"You're not serious are you?"
"Of course not!" Jacob laughed again, tipping back his head.
"That's good then." I grinned when we stopped and he held open the door for me.
"For my lady." Jacob smirked, bowing politely.
I smiled, climbing into the car and pulled on my seat belt as I watched Jacob walk around to his side and climb in. I smiled lightly as he started the engine and carefully backed out and turned the car back to the opening in the driveway. I reached over to turn up the radio hearing a song I liked and smiled, listening to the lyrics singing them mentally.
I swayed my head side to side as I started singing the song outloud, not noticing at all, that Jacob was there.
"Nothing I say comes out right,
I can't love without a fight,
no one ever knows my name.
When I pray for sun, it rains.
I'm so sick of wasting time,
but nothings moving in my mind,
inspiration cant be found.
I get up and fall but,
I'm Alive, I'm Alive, oh yeah,
between the good and bad is where you'll find me,
reaching for heaven." I sang the song, completely at ease, my voice matching the pitches in the song easily.
"I will fight, and Ill sleep when I die,
I'll live my life, I'm Alive!
Every lover breaks my heart,
and I know it from the start,
still I end up in a mess,
every time I second guess.
All my friends just run away,
when I'm having a bad day,
I would rather stay in bed, but I know there's a reason.
I'm Alive, I'm Alive, oh yeah,
between the good and bad is where you'll find me,
reaching for heaven.
When I'm bored to death at home,
when he wont pick up the phone,
when I'm stuck in second place,
those regrets I cant erase."I didn't notice Jacob listen to me in awe, his face shocked as I sang the last verses.
"Only I can change the end,
of the movie in my head,
there's no time for misery,
I wont feel sorry for me.
I'm Alive, I'm Alive, oh yeah,
between the good and bad is where you'll find me,
reaching for heaven.
I will fight, and Ill sleep when I die,
Ill live my hard life,
Ill live my life,
I'm Alive!" I blinked coming out of my trance when the song ended. I looked around and froze, seeing Jacob still surprised, his hand gripping the wheel.
"...Wow... That was, beautiful." Jacob said slowly and threw a glance at me, smiling. I turned beat red and smiled, nodding.
"T-Thanks..." I stuttered now majorly embarrassed.
"Why didn't you take Music?" Jacob asked, looking back at the road.
"I didn't feel like it, I don't need more people jealous of me as it is." I replied quietly, looking down at my hands. Jacob blinked and nodded, understanding as he turned the wheel, making the car turn as it went down another road.
I blinked, "Where are we going?" I asked glancing at Jacob before looking back outside, seeing miles of trees apon trees.
"To La Push, remember?" Jacob smiled glancing at me. I nodded, smiling back , still looking out the window as I lowered my hand onto the armrest and blinked, snatching it back when it landed upon a hand much bigger than mine.
"Sorry." I sighed quietly, placing my hand on my lap. Jacob shook his head, not looking away from the road as he moved his hand onto my lap, picking up my hand and placed them both back onto the armrest.
I blinked but said nothing, blushing again as I looked out the window.
"I hope you don't mind." Jacob said gently, glancing at me, his black eyes glowing with unseen emotions.
"Nah, I'm good." I smiled lightly, glancing at him. Jacob nodded, returning his eyes to the road as we turned onto another road. A sign that said "La Push" appeared on our right. I smiled lightly seeing it as we slowed to a stop in a small carpark. Jacob let go of my hand as he got out of the car and went to my side.
I nodded my head when he opened the door for me, "Thanks." I smiled, placing my hand in his.
"You're welcome." He replied holding my small hand in his. I blinked feeling the different temperature of his against mine as he led me away from the car down a trail.
I looked around, gasping lightly seeing lush sand, hearing the sea beat against the cliffs and glanced at Jacob, his skin glowing in the sun. I smiled holding his hand slightly tighter. Jacob glanced at me and smiled softly, wrapping his other arm around my waist.
"Welcome to La Push Elena." Jacob murmured in my ear as we stopped at the edge of the cliffs.
