Chapter 4: Nothin On You
A.N: I apologize for not updating sooner. Things have been hectic around here. I hope you enjoy this chapter and forgive me :)
(Bella's P.O.V.)
I am freaking out. Tonight I graduate high school, and I am having trouble picking out the right dress, and doing my make-up. It's times like this, that I miss my old friend Alice Cullen, but there isn't a day that goes by that I ever regret breaking up with Edward. It is 3pm, and graduation starts at 7pm. I was so frustrated that I decided I was going to call up my good friend Angela from school, and see if she could come over and help me out. I picked up the phone and dialed the all to familiar phone number.
"Hey Bella, what's up girl?" she asked happily.
"I'm having troubles picking out the right dress, and doing my hair and make up. Is there anyway your parents would let you come over here and get ready so you can help me?" I asked hopefully.
"Let me go ask real quick" she stated, as she walked away from the phone.
'I hope, Ange can help me. I'm so clueless about things like this' I thought to myself. A few seconds later Ange came back on the phone.
"My parents say that is more than fine. They want to know if your family, Jake's family and mine want to go out to eat before we go and graduate?" she asked.
"That would be perfect. Jake, Billy, and my dad were all ready planning on going out to eat. We'll go to the restaurant in town. When are you coming Ange?" I asked excited that she could come over.
"I'll be over in a half hour. I have to get all my stuff together and bring it over. See ya in a bit Bella" Ange said happily.
I hung up with her, and went up to my bedroom to listen to some music before she gets here. I turned on my radio and the song 'Nothin On You' by B.o.B came on. It is the song I dedicated as Jake's ringtone when he calls me. Every time this song came on, Jake insisted singing it to me. I started to sing along with it as I sat down on my bed, and got on my laptop.
Beautiful girls, all over the world
I could be chasin but my time would be wasted
They got nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
Nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry, about what they say
'cause they got nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby (Yeah...)
Nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin on you babe, nuh-nothin on you)
I know you feel where I'm comin from (from)
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done (done)
Most of really was for the hell of the fun (the uh)
On the carousel, so around I spun (spun)
With no directions, just tryna get some (some)
Tryna chase skirts, livin in the summer sun (sun)
And so I lost more than I had ever won (Wha?)
And honestly, I ended up with none (Huh?)
There's no much nonsense, it's on my conscience
I'm thinkin, "Maybe I should get it out"
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wonderin, if there was somethin that you wanna know
(Somethin that you wanna know)
But never mind that, we should let it go (we should let it go)
'Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode (TV episode)
And all the bad thoughts, just let 'em go (go!)
Go (Go!) Go (Heeeeey~!)
I was just going to sing more of the song, when my phone went off, and played Jake's ring-tone.
Beautiful girls, all over the world
I could be chasin but my time would be wasted
They got nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin on you babe, nuh-nottin on you)
Nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin on you babe, nuh-nothin on you)
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry, about what they say
'cause they got nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin on you babe, nuh-nothin on you)
Nothin on YOOOOOOOOOU, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin on you babe, nuh-nuttin on you)
Yeaaaaah
"Hey Babe, I was totally listening to 'Nothin On You' before you called. You have great timing." I smiled into the phone, as I turned off my radio.
"Hey, well you know I just have amazing timing. " he chuckled. "What are you up to?"
"I am waiting for Ange to come on over, so she can help me with my outfit and make-up. Her parents and her are joining us for dinner. Let Billy know" I said happily.
"Will do. We will be at your house around 5ish. I'm so proud of you baby"
"Thanks and that sounds good. What are you up to?" I asked curious.
"Oh just hanging with the guys for a little bit before I come over and see you gorgeous" Jake said happily into the phone.
"I can't wait to see you" I smiled into the phone even though he couldn't see it.
"I can't wait to see you either. What have you been up to today? You ready for tonight?" he asked.
"Kind of, I'm excited but sad that I have to say goodbye to friends. I have been trying to figure out what to wear all day" I said as I giggled. "I tend to have a little trouble in that area"
"yes, yes you do...hey honey I have to get going Quil and Embry are literally dragging me to the car...see you tonight"
"Yep, see you tonight. I love you" I said happily.
"I love you too, bye baby" he said as he hung up the phone.
I just laughed, as I put my cell away. Quil and Embry were hilarious when it came to getting Jake to go anywhere. I decided to read a book to make the time go by.
(time break)
Before I knew it, the doorbell was going off. I put my book down, and ran downstairs to go let Ange in.
"Hey Ange, thanks so much for doing this" I said, as I let her in.
"No prob girl, anytime. Now lets get this all upstairs and get ready in the three and a half hours we have" she smiled, as she walked in with her different bags of stuff.
We then headed up to my room to start the beautifying process.
~Three and A Half Hours Later~
Ange was amazing when it came to doing people's make-up and hair. It only took us like two hours, so the last hour and a half we got dressed, talked, and listened to music. It was times like this that I would keep forever.
"Bells, Jake, Billy and Ange's parents are here" Charlie yelled up the stairs.
"Oh my gosh, Jake is here. I know I see him all the time but it's the first time he is seeing me in a dress Ange. What do I do? I have butterflies?" I smiled but freaking out at the same time.
My reaction must have been funny because Ange broke out laughing. "Bells, its okay. Relax. It's just Jake and you look beyond beautiful. Just act normal, act like you are wearing jeans and a t-shirt"
"Right" I nodded my head, trying to pull myself together.
Ange just laughed at me, and put her arm on my shoulder. "Trust me hon, you look beyond beautiful. Jake is going to melt when he sees you"
"Thanks Ange. Thanks for the advice, for helping me, for being my best friend. I'm glad we are only going to be an hour away from each other so we can still hang. I am going to miss you so much" I smiled, as tears were falling down my face. I was never an emotional person but ever since the Cullen's left; Ange and I got super close. We told each other everything.
Before I knew it Ange was hugging me, and we were both crying. "Your welcome beyond a million times. Thanks for being my best friend also, and being there. You are the only one who understands me, and accepts me for well...me. I am gong to miss you too, and you know we are going to be constantly calling each other and seeing each other...and you know I am so your maid of honor the minute Jacob Black asks you to marry him."
That did it, we both broke out laughing, and had to look in the mirror again to make sure we looked all right. I smiled at my best friend, and we both headed downstairs. When we got to the bottom step both our families, and Jake with his dad were standing there staring.
"Girls, you look beyond beautiful" my dad said smiling.
"Thanks dad." I smirked. Before I knew it Jake grabbed me and swung me around.
"Baby, you look beyond gorgeous" he said, as he set me down and gave me a kiss. I giggled...as I kissed him back with enthusiasm.
Ange got compliments from her family as well as my dad. Before I knew it we took three separate cars, and headed to the restaurant.
(Jake's P.O.V.)
My bells was beyond beautiful tonight. She is always beautiful, but seeing her all dolled up made her beyond sexy, gorgeous, made me want to take her tonight. I had to stop myself from thinking those kind of thoughts. These were not something I wanted to have with my father, Charlie, and Angela and her family around. So instead I had to think about Quil trying to perform a lap dance. Lets just say that was scary in its self, to make a man not have sexual thoughts for a little bit.
I am beyond proud of Bells. She is graduating tonight, and going to tech school in Port Angeles for all of next year, so she would be getting an apartment half hour from my house so we could still see each other all the time. Speaking of which, I am taking my Bells on a special date tomorrow, and have tons of stuff planned. She is going to be beyond surprised.
"Jake? Earth to Jake" I heard my angel laugh, as I came out of daydreaming.
"Yes, just daydreaming." I smiled, as I grabbed her hand and held it.
"About what?" my angel asked me, as we all left from our booth, and headed out to our cars.
"Keep tomorrow open all day. I am taking you on a date. Charlie all ready knows so you don't have to ask permission" I smiled, as I opened her car door open for her to get in and drive to her school.
"Sounds good babe. Do I get to know what we are doing?" she asked before she did the puppy dog look. She is the only that could pull that off, and I would give in.
I had to look at the door, so I wouldn't let her know my big plans. "Nope...If I tell you, that would ruin the best date ever."
I heard her sigh, as she gave up with the questions for now. My baby would be all full of questions tonight after graduation and the whole date tomorrow.
(Angela's P.O.V.)
As soon as we arrived at school, I ran out of the car to find my bestie best friend, as Bells and I call each other. I couldn't believe that tonight, we are graduating. We are officially moving on in the world to become adults.
"Bells" I smiled, as I saw her across the room in hallway.
"Hey Ange, you ready?" she smiled nervously.
"No, but we'll get through this. Charlie talked to my parents and me when we pulled up. I am spending the night, so after this I'll stop at my house to get my stuff" I smiled sneakily.
Charlie and Jake did ask me about it, and once I found out what it was for, I immediately agreed. Bells was in for the best surprise ever.
"Sweet sounds good" she smiled happily, as the teachers were walking down the hall making sure we got in alphabetical order for when we walked into the gym.
I said goodbye to Bells, and walked towards the end of the line where my spot was. Between today and tomorrow these are memories I will never forget.
(Bella's P.O.V.)
We walked single file into the gym to our seating, waiting for this to start and get over with. Luckily we weren't at a normal high school otherwise this would take around three hours instead of an hour. Forks only had maybe 50 to 100 seniors if we were lucky all year.
Since my last name started with S, I had lots of time to think about what Jake had up his sleeve for tomorrow. We had only been dating but had been best friends our whole lives. Normally he at least gave me clues. This date must be really special if he wasn't even going to give me a hint.
I was interrupted out of my thoughts by the principal speaking. "Jessica Stanley"
Jessica stood up, and walked towards the stage. "Isabella Swan" I groaned on how the principal said my full name, but stood up and also walked to the stage. When I was walking I heard Jake, my dad, Billy, and Ange's parents cheering very loudly. I smiled at this, and walked up the steps. I shook my principals hand, grabbed my diploma, and walked back to my seat.
'I didn't realize I was spacing so long. Oh well...at least this is almost over, and than I can hang with Jake and Ange.' I thought to myself.
"I now give you the class of 2009" the valedictorian announced. We all stood up, threw our caps in the air, and cheered as loud as we could. We are officially done with this small community school. We are moving on to bigger and better things, falling our dreams.
I grabbed my cap from the ground, and looked around for Ange, so I could give her the biggest hug. I spotted her across the room talking to Jessica Stanley. I decided it wouldn't hurt to make my way over there, and say goodbye to the girl who I couldn't stand. I slowly made my way over there...of course Jessica spotted me and dragged Ange with her.
"Bella we finally did it" she said jumping up and down as she gave me a huge hug.
"Yep. I can't believe it Jess. Where did the time go?" I said with so much fake happiness that she actually bought it.
"I know, you have to promise to stay in touch" she asked looking at me with pleading eyes.
"Sure" I smiled. Before I knew it she ran off towards Lauren, the school's biggest slut of the school.
"Well, thats interesting...lets go find our family" Ange laughed, as we walked towards are parents. Lets just say the next ten minutes were full of hugs, congrats, and figuring out tonights plans.
So it was decided that Jake, Ange and I would go see the new movie 'The Expendables' to celebrate tonight.
"Jake, would you mind if I stop at Ange's house first so she can grab stuff for tonight, and than I will drive out to Port Angele's?" I asked, as I gave him the biggest hug.
"Nope, I dont mind. Let's go girls" Jake smiled at the both of us, as we said goodbye to our family, and headed towards my truck.
'Tonight is a night of celebration. I'll ask Jake questions about our date tomorrow. I just want to enjoy tonight with my best friend and my boyfriend' I thought to myself, as I drove out of the parking lot.
~2 hours later~
The movie was beyond amazing. Jake and I laughed so hard at all the fake blood, and the people getting blown up. Ange on the other hand was literally crawling in her seat the whole time. It was beyond funny, since my bestie and I were the one's to usually watch tons of action movies.
I decided to let Jake drive my truck on the way home, so I could just enjoy the rest of the night. I sat next him, and Ange sat in the passenger seat. Tonight was beyond amazing, and I couldn't ask for a better night than to spend it with my two favorite people.
"So babe, I am picking you up at 9am. Be ready. Ange knows what kind of clothes you will need to wear" he smirked at me, as he pulled into his driveway.
I glared at him, and than at my bestie. They were both in on this, and not giving any hints. "That is beyond mean you two." My statement ended up making both of them break out in laughter.
"Baby, don't be mad. I promise you'll love tomorrow. Please walk me to the door" my Jacob asked well kissing me on the forehead.
'Not fair, he knew that was my weakness.' I thought to myself, as I caved in. "Fine" We both got out, and I walked him to the door so I could give him a proper goodbye.
"Baby, I love you. Please don't be mad at me." he smiled, as he hugged me.
I sniffed his shirt, well trying to process my thoughts. Jake always smelt like sunshine, woods, and musk. My favorite smells in the whole world. "I love you forever and for always. You know I'm not mad at you. I'm just really wanting to know the details for tomorrow, and I know its got to be a surprise. Plus my best friend knows and I don't"
"Well, she's got nothin on you, and I promise that tomorrow I will give you one hint before we leave" he smiled, as he leaned down to kiss me. I happily obliged.
"You better" I smiled, as I broke away from the kiss, and walked back to my truck.
