Nobody talked that whole afternoon. I felt partly responsible. I felt so horrible when I looked in Mum's jewellery box. The charm bracelet Jacob gave her was smashed into pieces. I started thinking about who might have smashed it. I thought about Mum but then I thought why would she smash Jacob's charm bracelet? But after this afternoon why wouldn't she. It's not good to rake up the past that's what Gran always tells me. Just as I was thinking of her she knocked on my door.
"Hey Nessie, do you want any pasta I made?" she asked.
I quietly groaned so she couldn't hear. I bugged me how everyone was so desperate to get me to eat food. But then again Grandma had spent some time cooking it so I felt mean not eating it.
"Ok", I said.
"Good", said Grandma smiling.
"She used her super fast vampire quickness to get it and came back in one second flat. I smiled. Not every Grandma did this. Then again not every Grandma was as young as Esme. She put the tray down on my bed. I ate the pasta bit by bit. It was sour not as sweet as blood. Dad says he thinks food tastes like blood but I tried to not think of that as I ate Grandma's pasta.
"Do you like it?" asked Grandma hopeful.
"Yeah", I said. "It's really nice."
Grandma's eyes sparkled. She liked the compliment.
"I've got more", she said.
"Oh no Gran this is quite enough", I said.
"Well maybe you can give it to Jacob", she said.
I winced at his name. Not only did this family make me eat food but they also made me try and do a peace treaty with Jacob.
"Look I'm sure he's doing everything he can to try and at least stay friends with you", said Gran. "You can't let something that happened between him and Bella get in the way of your relationship."
I looked hard at Grandma. Maybe she was right. I mean it did happen before I was born. And maybe I can trust Mum's word when she says she loves Dad not Jacob.
"You know what Grandma", I said. "You're right. I should put this behind me. I'm going to talk to him."
"Oh that's great news", said Grandma. "Take the cake. Oh and get a cab."
"No I'll drive there", I said. "My driving is not too shabby."
Gran gave me one of those I don't think so looks. But then I looked at her back with pleading eyes. She couldn't say no.
"Alright off you go then", she said. "But drive safely because if a policeman sees you and stops you and finds out that you need someone with a license to accompany you which you won't have, I'm not collecting you from the slammer."
I laughed then walked out the door. I wrote Jacob a little note saying:
Dear Jacob,
I forgive you,
Extra love, Nessie xxx
I walk over to La Push. I was going to knock on Jacob's door but then Seth spotted me.
"Hey Nessie, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Going see Jacob", I said.
Seth looked uncomfortable when I said Jacob's name.
"Look Bella's there's something you need to know about Jacob", he said.
"What?" I asked.
"You know the day you broke up with him?" asked Seth.
"Yes", I said.
"On that same day Jacob kissed Leah", said Seth.
I stared at Seth for a second. Jacob and Leah. It couldn't be.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Jacob even told me himself", said Seth. "Sorry Nessie for telling you like this but I didn't want you getting hurt."
I stared at Seth for a long time trying to take it all in. I then saw Jacob approach me and Seth.
"Hey Nessie, what are you doing here?" he asked curiously.
I just stared at him. Then I got Grandma's pasta. I poured it all over Jacob's head. He gasped and then stood there staring at me in horror. Seth had his mouth wide open in the shape of an "O", but also grinning.
"MY MOTHER AND NOW LEAH", I yelled. "WHEN ARE YOU EVER GOING TO STOP?"
Jacob looked at me and then glared at Seth. I just walked away. My once friendly note now was crumpled up as I started the car.
