Chapter 2
Surprise Date.
I put my hair in to a loose pony tail, letting it entwine in to a waterfall of dark brown curls and waves, also letting my side fringe sweep to the left of my face and I wiped the dry tears from my cheeks. I could only think of how much I missed Daniel. After he had found his so called soul mate and saying he was going to stay, to him -dare I say- packing up and leaving to a better place was confusing me to death. But, like every other day since my brother had gone I wouldn't give in to my emotions and go on with my day, after all, life is way too short to be moping around the house and I had Jacob to cheer me up.
Although I was perfectly happy knowing Dan was loving it over there, I still missed him dearly. He was my only brother and family -other than Sarah, My grandmother- left. It had been 3 years after my father's death, 3 weeks since my mother's and 2 weeks since Dan had left with his best friend, Mitch and his girlfriend. The pain of it all would hit when I was alone, mostly late at night if Jacob didn't stay over. The only thing keeping me together was seeing Jacob's smile.
The sky was very over-cast and there was a slight wind but I didn't mind. I fixed my checked hoodie up and changed the song on my iPod. I turned the volume up because I could hear Sarah mumbling something around the corner.
I wasn't in the mood for her telling me how there's something going on between me and Jake, then going on about how I liked Mitch, Dan's best friend and all that -very clearly she's confused because one minute I like Jake and the next Mitch, who I didn't like more than a friend- I would tell her there's nothing going on but she would protest against it.
Jacob would strongly disagree with her as well, he would get mad when she talked about Mitch, it was funny to watch her tease him. If there was one person to get to Jake it was my grandmother and when Billy and her would team tag him you would laugh so hard, tears would fill your eyes.
"Emma honey." She called over my loud music, tapping my shoulder.
I turned around to find her wrinkled smile, as bright as I remembered the sun was last time i saw it. i could only smile back cheerfully.
"Yes Sarah?" I asked nicely as I took out my iPod earplugs with a friendly smile.
"Jacob rang, he's coming over with Billy for dinner." she said and I stood up, my smile even wider.
"Really?" I said putting my iPod away.
"Yes so you better get ready, they will be here soon." she said grinning and she walked back inside.
Happiness replaced the sad and lonely feeling; I smiled brightly and started giggling like a girl when she sees her celeb crush on TV.
"Come on Emma." Sarah called from in the house.
"Coming!" I yelled running up the stairs and right in to the front door which I thought wasn't locked. I fell back on to my butt and stared at the door.
"Stupid door," I grunted and got up. Sarah unlocked the door laughing; I just pulled a face at her and walked to my room. I put my iPod down and took off my shoes and jumper. It was warm in the house so there was no need for one.
I walked to the bathroom and checked myself; I looked fine so I walked out to the kitchen where Sarah was just finishing up with the cooking.
"Smells lovely," I complimented sitting on the kitchen bench.
"Go put some shoes on!" she said, pushing me off and laughing.
"Why?" I asked confused as I was getting up from the ground.
"Because!" she ordered, I rolled my eyes and went to my room, putting my shoes on and walking back out. As I walked to the kitchen there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it" I said a bit too eager. I jumped to the door and swung it open. There stood Jacob with Billy in front of him. Jake was looking just as beautiful and charming as always. He was wearing a black shirt with faded blue jeans with a hole in the left knee and a jumper.
"Hey Billy" I said cheerfully, giving him a tight hug. A deep chuckle came from his chest.
"Hello Emma." he said back. I let them in and Jacob wheeled him through the door frame, Sarah took him from Jacob and Jake looked at me.
"Do I get a hug?" he asked smiling. I nodded and he opened his arms. I went to walk in but stopped, grinning.
"Depends..." I said teasing him. He looked at me with one eyebrow up. "Why should I?" I asked laughing. He smiled.
"Because you love me," he said and the breath got caught in my throat. I always knew I liked him, but love, I never thought about.
"Damn... you got me." I said sarcastically, walking in to his welcoming arms. We held on tightly to each other, him smelling my hair and me inhaling his musky scent. I could have sworn he was getting taller every day. We heard laughing from behind us so we quickly let go.
"Hey Jake, why don't you take Emma out for dinner tonight. You know, like you've always wanted to." Billy grinned cheekily and Jacob looked at him shocked and embarrassed.
"Thanks dad." he said sarcastically, looking at the ground.
"Yeah she would love that!" Sarah answered from me. I went to say something but stuttered on words that didn't make sense. Jacob and I looked at each other, we were both red faced and stunned.
"But-" I said and Sarah pushed me out the door, I was quickly followed by Jacob. They then shut the front door, laughing and talking behind it.
"It was a set up" I mumbled to myself, remembering her telling me to put my shoes back on.
"Yeah..." Jake said still sounding shy and embarrassed.
"We don't have to; we could go back to your place if you want?" I said trying to make it not awkward between us.
"No, no. I want to... if it's ok with you?" he asked and I smiled.
"Of course." I said cheerfully, I was just happy to be around him. His normal white smile came back and he grabbed my hand -making a gush of warmth fill my face- and pulled me to his dad's car.
The drive there was rather funny. It was just me and him singing to old songs on the radio. Sometimes Jake would do a small dance in his seat and me mostly laughing at the faces he was pulling. We got to Port Angeles quickly, I thought we were going to Forks but he insisted we were going to eat there.
"So where do you want to go?" I asked Jake as we walked up a street.
"Why don't we catch a movie? There's a scary zombie movie called, Dead End playing at the moment." he said smirking.
"Is it really scary?" I asked.
"Yeah, but we don't have to see that one. If you're too scared, we can see the romance one." he teased.
"I'm not the one who screamed the whole way through saw 3, Mr. Black" I laughed and pointed my finger in his face. He put his hands up.
"I wasn't the one not looking every time there was blood." he said smiling.
"Yeah you were! Way worse then me!" I said crossing my arms, one eyebrow razed.
"Doesn't sound like me." he said calm. "I wouldn't scream and not look when something is killed, unlike someone..." he said and I hit him in the arm.
"You would so!" I said going to hit him again. "In fact you already do!"
"Sure, sure." he said grinning.
"I give up, you win." I sighed and he laughed.
"You give up to easy."
I raised an eyebrow at his comment. "What is that s'pose to mean?" I asked and he just laughed.
"So a movie then food?" he asked and I nodded. He put his hands in his pockets and we walked to the movies. When we got there he told me to wait at the doors. He walked back with the tickets and gave me one.
"Why did you make me wait here?" I asked him.
"Because they wouldn't have given you're ticket with a baby face like that." he said and I gave him evils.
We walked to the theatre without getting food; we were going to eat after. We sat down at the back, with five couples in front of us and got comfortable. I looked at Jacob who was taking off his shoes.
"Jake... don't do that" I said in a whisper. He smiled.
"Why not?" he took off one of his shoes and put it in my face.
"Ewww it smells gross" I said laughing, pushing it away. He put it back on and I fixed my shirt. As the light faded in to nothing but a glow from the roof, I turned to find Jacob looking at me.
"What?" I whispered worried and concerned that something was wrong.
"Nothing it's just that..." he trailed off.
"Just what?" I asked, still whispering even more concerned.
"Just that you look different that's all," he said looking away. I look different? I thought and put my hand on his arm.
"Like how?" I said a little louder than a whisper and someone shushed me.
"Don't worry about it" he said with a reassuring smile, I wasn't letting this one go.
"Jacob, tell me" I said in a whisper again. He sighed, not wanting to tell me.
"You don't look like the little girl I knew, you look... grown up and... well beautiful." he said rubbing the back of his neck nervously. I blushed -thank god the room was dark- and smiled.
"Thank you" I said and the movie came on.
