Authors note: Sorry guys, I truly would have updated sooner but I was trying to plan out what was going to happen next…honestly to tell you about this story I want it to be the first one I have successfully finished, from the beginning I knew the beginning and end but there are some plot holes in the middle that im still trying to plan out, I'm pretty sure I know how this story is going to go from here and I'll try to finish it as best as I can…though I'm not saying it's near over yet, expect at least 5 more chapters…though I do have something else I want to work on I'll try to finish this up first. Love you all and let's start this (=
(Bella's POV)
"Uhhh, I'm sooo bored." I muttered, fumbling with my laptop, I had been trying to focus…maybe catch up on a little school work….but all I could do was think about Jacob. Kissing him made me fell good, better, like a normally sane person…being with him took me out of my depression, his beautiful smile was like the sunshine shining into the dark cloud that was my inner soul. Being without him was like being stuck in a bad hail storm in the middle of New York City, with no cabs or shelter in distant reach.
I looked over at my tabletop clock to see what time it was, hoping my playing stupid computer games had shaved off at least a few hours of my lifeless existence. "8:45." I sighed…..I had only managed to kill around 90 minutes…..what the hell was I supposed to do with the other three hundred and 80 minutes until the retched school bell rang?
My mind was in much of a fog and I felt unable to work in such a state. If I wasn't going to work then it would probably be in my best interest to leave my room, there were just too many unhealthy habits to get sucked back into in this environment.
Slowly I lifted myself off of my mattress and opened the door to release myself of this space. I didn't really feel like making conversation with my father, but what else was I to do? If I went for a walk I'd get into trouble, if I took a drive I'd probably ram into something, staying in my room only led to cutting, and my other only known friend was now a drug addict….talking to my father was probably the only sane decision I could make at this point, so slowly, cautiously, I made my way down the carpeted stairs into the living room.
As I got closer I could hear him cheering on the Redskins…the only known Washington football team to make it to the championships. "So….how's the game?" I asked, sitting beside him to get a closer look.
"Not bad." He sighed, picking up his beer. "Were only down by two…pretty good to be going against the Cowboys." He sneered their name…there were very few games our team had ever won against them…them and the Giants were my fathers two known football enemies….I didn't understand why he couldn't just cheer for one of them though, they've made it to the super bowl many more times then we have….not saying that our team was bad…it just wasn't….good.
"So…what have you been up to?" he asked me when the game got to half time….I didn't really know how to answer…I hadn't been up to well…anything. "Nothing much." I sighed…sinking into the couch and peering over at the time yet again…I had probably looked the clock over ten times in the past half hour….Charlie seemed to be getting a bit suspicious…I saw him raise his eyebrows at me out of the corner of my right eye.
"Your wait for him huh?" He asked me, questioningly.
"Him? Him who?" I asked…playing dumb.
"Oh you know who I'm talking about all too well." He smiled. "I knew he'd get to you…he gets to everyone with his cute little sunshiny, carefree attitude."
"What, Jake? Jake hasn't gotten to me." I answered, looking away…my lies never sounded convincing...not even to a naïve person like myself.
"You can tell the truth Bella…I'm not mad…actually I think he's quite good for you."
"How do you know I'm not telling the truth?" I asked.
"Bella I know you, your about as good at lying as compulsive liars are at telling the truth." He sighed….I would have answered that statement, but my cell phone started vibrating in my pocket and it was exactly 2:20…so of course, I had to answer it.
(Jacob's POV)
I had Just gotten out of school…and I kind of wanted to put my plan into action….I knew nothing would happen tonight, but maybe…just maybe if I took Bella out somewhere romantic, wasted tons of money on food the size of thumb nails, dressed up fantasy, and treated her like the beautiful princess she was destined to be…..maybe I'd get repaid….
I really didn't know if this was going to work out but I decided to give her a call anyway. "Hey Bells."
"Hey." She answered, only letting the phone get through first ring.
"I was wondering…you want to…maybe go out tonight?" I asked, as I paced the room, I was glad nobody was around, I must have looked very stupid…I couldn't really understand why I was so worried, I mean she loved me how could she say anything else but-
"Yes." Bella answered…taking the words right out of my mouth….or rather head in this situation.
"Ummm ok….get ready alright…I'll be over in like an hour." I answered, looking at the clock.
"Ok….where are we going?" she asked….that was a good question, where were we going?
"Uhhh, it's a surprise." I answered.
"Should I dress up?" She asked.
"If you want to." I answered…that probably wasn't the best choice of words…if we did go somewhere fantasy I could only pray to god she would show up in sweats….not that she looked bad….i just didn't want her to feel out of place.
(Normally I would stop there but I haven't updated in a while so we'll go a little further)
(Bella's POV)
As I got off the phone I could feel myself smiling and my dad staring at me. "Bet I could guess who that was." He laughed.
"That could have been anyone." I answered as I went up the stairs.
"What did he want?"
I didn't really give him a direct answer to his question, just said, "I'll be leaving in an hour!!" And ran up the rest of the stupid carpeted stairs to my room.
When I got into my room I sighed, sitting on my bed and staring into my closet. I had no idea where we were going, and knowing Jake anything was possible….he said dress up if I wanted to…did that mean we were going somewhere fancy or not? I kinda hoped not just cause the fancier you go the more out of place you feel, and the more likely I'll get nervous and trip over something in front of a bunch of snotty people who will probably laugh and think I'm ever stupider...
After thinking all this over for a while I decided to try to meet in the middle of dressy and casual…though I never really dressed up so god knows where that would leave me.
I started to move cloths around, pushing from one hanger to the next…..i had no idea what to wear…was this even a date? I guess that's what it would be considered….One last time I looked at the clock…fifteen minutes of my time had already been used up, wasted away on my stupid pickiness….all I saw around were a bunch of tee shirts and sweat pants….not even any semi fancy tee shirts….I really didn't know what to do, I was about to give up when I saw a box resting on my desk chair….i didn't recall ever opening it, but it looked like it was from Renee…had she sent me another birthday present? Could it be cloths….with last hopes I opened the box and read the card,
Bella, I know you don't really like new cloths, but I figured something cute might get you out of this slump.
-Love Mom.
I had never been so happy to receive clothing in my life…Thank, thank, thank you mom. I thought as I slipped on the white shirt/dress thing and blackish gray leggings…so not my style but I'd have to say, I didn't look too bad.
I spend the rest of my prep time trying to put on a little makeup and a necklace…in my opinion all of this crap was ridiculous, but on the other hand, Jake might think it was cute.
(Jacob's POV)
I wasn't sure how dressy Bella was going to be and I really didn't want to out do her, I had decided to throw on a fitted dark blue, button down buffalo plaid shirt with yellow accents….which by the way made me feel like a girl….especially due to the fact I had gotten it from Abercrombie….though I wasn't saying it I looked bad…just different.
As for pants I thought about kakis, but didn't want her to think I was trying to look like you know who…I figured regular jeans were a little to casual, so I went with black jeans, which felt a little too fitted, and again, made me feel like a girl…I wasn't sure if I looked like a girl…so I slowly peered into the mirror…unbuttoning the first two buttons of my shirt made me feel better and I got into the car.
(Charlie's POV)
I knew something was up from the moment Bella's phone rang….but I decided to just sit back and figure it was nothing…when the door bell rang, I thought oh Jake was probably just coming to hang out….when I saw him with flowers in his hand and a kinda dressy outfit on I got suspicious again…though I didn't bother to ask.
"Bella he's here!!" I yelled, leaving him at the door and going back over to the game….then I saw Bella, my daughter, 'Miss I wear sneakers to my own prom' in a dress…with makup on….i knew it was time to ask questions.
Authors note: OK gonna end it there….where do you think there going? What's gonna happen? Any ideas?
