Chapter 19

Morning broke and the sunlight emitting through the windows woke me up. When I sat up and wiped my eyes, I smiled at the scene before me. Curled up on the couch was Cat on one side and Xena on the other while a snoring Jacob laid beside me on the floor. The fact that he was still here made me even happier. Trying not to wake him, I stood to my feet slowly, my back and other various places cracking I the process.

"Shit!" I whispered loudly as my foot caught on the blanket that was once covering Jacob and was now wrapped around my ankles. I fell with a thud and my lower half across his chest.

"W-Wha…Zoe? What happened? Are you okay?" He asked concerned as he wiped his tired eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Go back to sleep." I said standing up once more.

"Nope. I'm up now too, you klutz. Thanks a ton." He said getting up as well. When he stood in front of me, I had to look away.

"What?" He asked confused.

"One, you need a shirt. Two, check your pants…" I giggled walking away and into the kitchen.

"What do you…oh shit!" He exclaimed picking up my pillow and covering his man parts.

"Hey! I put my head on that!" I yelled running back over to him.

"Oh. Well in that case…" An evil smirk spread across as his face as he pressed the pillow harder on his crotch and rubbed it in as he made incredibly creepy sex sounds.

"Jake you nasty bum, give it back! I have to sanitize it now. Better yet, I'm gonna burn it." I said reaching for it.

"Go on. I dare you to try and get it but first think about where's it's been." I glared daggers at him.

"I will get you for this Jacob William Black. Just you wait and see…" I said pointing at him and slowly backing into the kitchen. I waited and made sure that he didn't run into the room and tackle me before I turned away and got a cup from the cabinet. As I reached for the cup, two warm arms wrapped themselves around my body and lifted me off the ground.

"Jacob! Put me down!" I screeched with my feet dangling in the air.

"Remember the rules Zoe. I'll let you go when you say the magic words." He said evily.

"If you don't let me go, I'll never forgive you."

"Like I've never heard that one before." He said as he squeezed tighter.

"I have to peeeeeee!" I whined.

"And you'll be the one who will be cleaning it up if you don't say it."

"Never!"

"Be that way. I'm just going to sit here and think about the amazing rivers and massive waterfalls I saw up in Canada. They were so large and beautiful as gallons upon gallons of water ran through them. Oh can't you just smell the moist air…"

"Ahh! You cheater!" I squirmed.

"Oh and how the dew dropped off the leaves in the early morning. Drip…drip…drip…"

"Ugh! I give up!"

"Say it."

"I, Zoe Michelle Tyler, am nothing but a humble being compared…to the amazing almighty one…who is….Jacob William Black. Now let me go! I have to pee!" He laughed as he released me. I kicked his shin and ran to the bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth and hair. After I was done with that, I put on some makeup and take up as much time as I could, stalling until he himself had to go and soon enough there was a loud banging on the door.

"Come on Zoe! Hurry up! I have to take a piss!" Jake whined from the other side of the door.

"Not done yet." I said taking my time putting mascara on my long eyelashes.

"I don't care. I'll pee with you in there." He said trying to turn the locked doorknob.

"That sounds fun but no thanks."

"Well how much longer are you gonna be?"

"I don't know. I still have to do the other eye and that might take awhile." I sang knowing that I was done.

"That's it." All of a sudden there was a snap and crack and the door was pushed open.

"Emily's gonna rip you a new one when she sees what you did to her door." I said fluffing my hair.

"You were done!" He said annoyed.

"I know." I smiled.

"Ugh. Scoot so I can pee, unless you want to stay for that."

"No. I'm good." I smiled walking out the door but before I could go very far, he grabbed my hand.

"By the way, you look beautiful even without makeup." He said with a genuine smile.

"Mhm." I said closing the door behind me. When I walked back into the living room, Cat and Xena were up and already on their laptops.

"Good morning ladies." I said sitting in between them.

"I am hungry and I have to pee." Catherine said not looking away from her screen.

"Ditto." Xena agreed also not looking away.

"How about you get dressed and we'll go to the diner to get some nice, warm food that requires no clean up from me. Deal?" I asked.

"I still have to pee and lover boy is still in the bathroom." Catherine said. I rolled my eyes and got up to go see what was he was doing.

"Hello? What's taking so long?" I asked.

"I'm making myself pretty!" Jake responded in a girlish tone.

"You'd better not touch my makeup!"

"Oh. I like this color. It goes well with my skin tone." I burst through the door to find him standing with his arms crossed over his chest and a smile on his face.

"You little…" That's when my eye caught a pink colored tube that was twirling in his fingers.

"Put that back! That's my favorite lip gloss!" I said reaching for it. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer so that our bodies were touching.

"Does this really taste like strawberries?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"I…don't know." I gulped.

"We should try it out then." He smirked leaning closer.

"Not a chance. I said I was going to last till Friday and I will." I snatched the tube out of his hand and ran out of the bathroom.

"Bathroom's free girls." I said walking into the back room to get dressed. They all ran for the bathroom and of surprisingly, my preggo sister won. As they battled for their own time in the there, I slipped on a plain black long-sleeved shirt and a regular pair of skinnies and then grabbed the car keys so start the car so it would be all nice and toasty by the time we actually leave.

"Are you guys coming or not? The car is running and I barely have any gas to get to the diner." I said walking back in the door to the sight of Cat stuffing a cookie in her mouth.

"You fat whore!" I lunged at her playfully.

"Hey! No attacking the preggo lady!" Jake said scooping me up and away from everybody.

"Ugh! You'd better get your butts in the car!" I said from his arms. They simultaneously said 'yes ma'am and ran out the door', leaving Jake and I alone. I looked up at him with a smile on my face that slowly faded as his eyes bore into mine.

"What is it?" I asked but was soon answered as his lips parted and he started to lean in as did I until I realized what I was doing.

"Whoa there big fella, you can't get me that easily." I said wiggling out of his grasp and reaching the floor again.

"Hey, can't blame a guy for trying."

"Shut it and get your ass into gear. I want to eat sometime this century." I smacked his butt and ran out the door the second he yelped.

"I'm going to get you for that." He said chasing after me.

"Sure ya will. Just like every other time, right?" I said teasingly from the front seat as he climbed into the back with Z.

"I will, you just don't know when." He said maliciously as I drove off.

When we got to the diner, I was relieved that it was more than dead. The only people there were the waitresses and the cooks, who are like family to me.

"Hey Zo!" Ricky said from the window to the kitchen with a greasy spatula in his hand.

"Hey! I missed you!" I said running to the back and giving him a hug, avoiding the grease spots on his apron.

"Where ya been kid? We've been busier than ever!" He said holding me for a quick second before going back to frying up what I think was chicken.

"I've been dealing with the brood of monstrous men, preggo sisters, and PMSing best friends along with school and other things."

"Ah. Well we have a spot for you here anytime that you'd like to come back."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Yo Zoe! We're hungry here. Preggo's gonna eat the cushions if you don't hurry up." Jake said making himself comfy in one of the booths while Cat was angrily rocking back and forth and growling like a rabid animal.

"Well, that's my que." I said patting him on the back and then returning to them.

"Finally!" Jake said scooting over so I could take a seat next to him.

"Shut up and order." I said looking at the menu even though I already know everything on there. A new waitress walked over, gawked at Jacob, pissed me off and took my sister's huge order within just a matter of two minutes.

Ricky didn't take his time making our food and we didn't waste our time eating it. Of course it was wonderful but we couldn't just sit there all day no matter how much I really wanted to. We got out check but didn't have to pay because it was on the house and then said our goodbyes.

Originally we weren't going to stop on our way home butt we decided to get a few snacks and then that turned into a full on grocery expedition and with that we got popcorn so we had to get a movie to use the popcorn with. Then we stopped at Wal-Mart to get a cheap movie…and then some Nerf guns for later on. In total, we spent over three hundred dollars in just two hours. (Mind you, it was all of MY money.)

"Would you get the bags in the trunk, I don't want to strain my back since I'm, ya know pregnant and all." Cat said only taking the bag with the food with her inside.

"Fat-ass." I said.

"Yeah, you can kiss it too." She said smacking her butt and continuing inside while we lug in all the bags, while Jake carried them in while I walked in behind him and complained along with Z.

"Thanks for helping Zo, it really helps." Jake said struggling to put the hundreds of bags on the table.

"Bitch, I bought them. You could at least bring them in without complaining." I said plopping onto the couch.

"Sorry your majesty." He said kneeling by the side of the couch and began to bow.

"That's more like it. Now kiss my feet." I said kicking off my shoes.

"I'm good, but I'll kiss something else if you'd like." He said leaning over me.

"Alright." I said as I flipped over to my stomach and put my butt up into the air.

"You're too funny…but now you asked for it," He raised his hand and smacked my butt so hard it took a few seconds for my brain to register the pain. I was catatonic for a few more seconds after that until I felt my face grow red as the pain radiated through my ass.

"Oh shit. I forgot that I um…sorry…" He said gently patting my buttocks.

"Don't…touch…my ass…" I said slowly.

"You want me to look at that?" My sister said coming closer after I nodded. She pulled down my pants to reveal an uber red ass to which she cringed at.

"Ah shiz dude, that's already bruising."

"Well, on the bright side, at least it's perky." Jake said.

"I'm going to get you for this!" I said with vengeance in my voice.

"I'm a little scared now." He said backing away.

"You should be…" I said with a grumbling in my throat.

"On that note, I believe it is time for me to go…" Jake tried for the door but I leapt off the couch and onto his back.

"Cat, the bat please." I said as he tried to shake me off. She handed me the plastic bat and I beat Jake's head in senseless…or he would have been senseless if he didn't have such a thick head.

In the end, the bat lost with tragic dents in the shape of his big head but I still didn't want to give up.

"Are you done yet?" He said just standing there.

"No…I'm…not….Okay now I am. I'm tired. Carry me to my bedroom Monkey Boy!" I demanded.

"Monkey Boy?"

"Yes. Now mush!" I said kicking his side which surprisingly worked.

When we got to my room, he threw me back first onto the bed. I was laughing so hard that my eyes were closed tight but when I opened them, I was looking deep into Jacob's eyes. He was shirtless and only wearing a pair of khaki shorts.

"Um…hi." I spoke as his warm breath poured onto my ready lips.

"Just. Kiss me." He breathed looking at my lips.

"No."

"Why not?" Jacob looked at me as if I punched him in the stomach.

"I already explained it to you." I said pushing him off of me and sitting at the edge of the bed.

"And I already told you I'm not going anywhere."

"Yeah, until Bella comes back pregnant or something." I scoffed.

"That's highly unlikely. She'll probably come back with a broken arm or whatever but what does that matter. It's me and you. Not her." He said kissing my cheek. I stood up and crossed my arms.

"You know, I was thinking, when did this all lovey dovey shit finally occur to you?"

"I don't know…the other night I realized how much I want you."

"So she gets married and gets flown halfway across the world so all of a sudden you want me and not her? You can't tell me that you don't want her anymore and only want me." He looked down. "Look me in the eyes and say it." He sighed and put his head in his hands.

"I…I can't. I'm sorry."

"Exactly. So if she came back today and decided to be with you, you'd stay, right?"

"I don't know! Why does it matter?" He said standing up and looking down at me.

"Why shouldn't it…you told me you wouldn't leave and now you can't even give me a straight answer when it comes to her. Everyone knows that's why you came back. If you had the chance you would be with Bella. Well Jacob, I'm not some rebound slut or a replacement. I'm not a fucking second choice. I shouldn't even be considered a second choice. I should be the only one but I'm not foolish enough to think I will ever be. She will always be there, your number one, married or not. I will never be yours." I sobbed.

"Zo…stop that's not…" Jacob said moving closer to me.

"Not what? Not what you wanted to hear? Did you want me to fall into your arms and give myself to you? I will NEVER do that again so get that through your head! Just fucking leave! Please!" I said pushing against his toned chest.

"No. Not with you like this."

"You have so many times before. Just pretend that Bella needs you and leave. This time, don't come back."

"Fine." Jacob ran out so quick that the rush of air nearly knocked me over. He slammed the door behind him and as soon as the door met with the frame, I broke down and fell to my knees. How could I let this happen again?

There was a knock on the door but I chose to ignore it.

"Honey? It's Emily." A sweet voice said from the other side of the door but I didn't answer. Without a response, she walked in and knelt by my side.

"Zoe, he's confused, for more reasons than you can understand right now but please, don't ban him from your life. He loves you. Go after him."

"Like he went after me? I don't think so. I'm done. I'm leaving Forks and never coming back. I need to have a normal life." I said getting up and pulling my bag out of the closet and pulling open the drawers.

"Just let her leave. She's completely oblivious to everything and doesn't even deserve to know about it. Jake's better off without her." Leah said leaning against the door frame.

"Shut the fuck up. Just because Sam found Emily doesn't mean you need to be a heartless fuck to everyone who walks through THEIR door. Maybe you're the one who needs to leave and stop hanging around him." I snapped grabbing my bag and pushing past her.

"Listen you cunt, you'd better shut your mouth now if you want to keep your head. Human or not, I will rip your empty head right of your shoulders with my teeth. It's not hard to make it look like an accident." Leah said almost growling.

"You know Sam will have your head." I warned.

"I don't care. He had my heart, so he can have that too." I started backing away and out the door with Leah in tow.

Thankfully I got to my car in time and drove away without looking back. I kind of wished I did because then I wouldn't have seen the russet wolf running in and out through the trees. He jumped out and into the middle of the road. Luckily I stopped in time or else he would have been really big road kill or I would have. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.

"Why do you keep leaving?" He asked sad.

"Why do you keep stopping me?"

"Because…"

"Because w…" Jacob cut me off in the middle of his lips meeting mine. They were wet with salty tears and trembling from nervousness. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me up closer to him, feeling his naked body against my clothed one. His kiss was simple, but created butterflies on crack in my stomach.

"That's why." He breathed.
