Chapter 14
Emma's POV
New Years was amazing, but now I had to start at my new school, in January, in the middle of the year. I didn't know anyone, but apparently, everyone knew me. First thing when I walked through the hall, a guy came up to me and started talking to me.
"Hey, you're Emma Swan, right?"
"Yeah."
"I'm Jason Thomas."
"Nice to meet you."
"So how are you liking Forks?"
"I like it a lot, I mean considering the circumstances."
"Circumstances?"
"Yeah, I moved here cause my mom died, so I'm staying with my dad, Chief Swan."
"Oh. Sorry about your mom. So what's it like having the Chief as a dad?"
"It's pretty cool. If I ever have a problem, he'll take care of it."
"Yeah, so what is your next class?"
"I have biology with Grainer."
"My friend is in that class, and my class is right by there, I'll walk with you."
"Thanks."
I ended up with Jason's friend Lewis Tanner as my lab partner. I sat with Lewis, Jason, and their two other friends, Ana Smith and Jamie Taylor at lunch. Ana, Jamie, and I had a lot I common. We become really good friends.
"Hey this weekend Ana and I are going shopping in Port Angles this weekend, do you want to come?" Jamie asked.
"Sure that sounds great."
Months passed, school was the same everyday, and every night, I would think of my mom, and feel like I needed to cut myself. But I fought the urge, knowing how much it hurt Jacob to see the scars. Instead, I went and took one of Charlie's Rainers from in the pantry.
Months passed and I never cut myself. The scars had faded and the dark circle under my eyes had disappeared. Spending time with Jacob helped, and so did having friends to hang out with.
It was May, and my birthday was in a week. Jacob and I were talking on the phone.
"So your birthday is in a few days, and I want to do something special." He said.
"Well I'm going to Bella's house for dinner, but that is pretty much it. What else do you want to do?" I ask.
"Maybe something earlier in the day, a surprise."
"You really like surprises, don't you? But that sounds fun."
"Yeah, so on your birthday, I'll come get you at noon."
"Okay, see you then."
I wonder what this surprise will be?
