Two whole weeks had passed and then Jessica Stanley tells me that the Cullens are leaving today. They didn't come to school at all since the "incident". I am still feeling the fallout from it even after so much time had passed. No one is ever going to let me live it down because no one believes the story that I came up with. I told everyone that I had known them from Phoenix and that whilst there we all had a quarrel and as a result, Edward and I, who were together at the time, broke up. I guess I am not the type of girl that Edward would go for since they all saw Tanya. Go figures. Even the good people of Forks think that I am not worth Edward's time.
They haven't shown their faces since the "incident" saying that there is some sort of family emergency that is keeping them out of school/work. They didn't come to say goodbye to me and I am thankful for that because that would have been the last straw.
Since I heard about them leaving I haven't been myself but I haven't been comatose either. I have just been numb and processing everything that has occurred. I haven't been with Charlie for that long but even he has noticed that something is off with me. I think it got to the point where he wanted to say something to me but he would chicken out at the last minute.
One morning we were having another silent breakfast and he abruptly suggested that I go see Jacob because I haven't seen him since I have been back and to thank him for the truck since he is the one that fixed it up for me.
I suddenly jumped out of my chair, spilling my orange juice all over the table top. I realized that I never even thanked Charlie for buying it for me, let alone Jacob and Billy. I had just assumed that it belonged to me. Well, I know that he bought it for me in the "other universe" but I just assumed that in this one too and didn't thank him on top of it. I gave Charlie a hug and thanked him then apologized for just assuming that it was mine in the first place before I flew out the door and getting in my the truck. I was out of there and on my way to Jacob's house within the minute.
I arrived at the house fairly quickly considering the truck speed limit. I ran out of the cab as fast as possible without causing myself an injury and started to knock on the door impatiently. Jake opened the door looked me up and down and grabbed me up into a hug and started to swing me around in the air. I started squealing at the top of my lungs.
"Jake! Put me down." I exclaimed. He put me down, surprisingly gently.
"I missed you, Bells. When did you get so hot?" Jake asked me.
I looked down and blushed. Jake didn't look too bad himself and I told him so. He just grinned at me and hugged me again.
"I wanted to thank you for the truck that you fixed up for me, Ch-Dad just told me about it and I came straight here to thank you and Billy. Where is he by the way?"
"He is at a council meeting right now, you can talk to him when he comes home; That is if you are still here when he gets here." He said with a wink. I just couldn't help but to blush again.
"So I hear that you are here for good this time? If so then I get to keep you."
Is it just me or is Jake flirting with me?
This chapter is just filler to introduce Jake and La Push. The reason why is because there is going to be a time jump in the next chapter. This is your warning. I want Paul in the next one because I don't know about you but I am getting anxious to meet him.
