I do not own anything, just like playing with the characters.
CHAPTER SIX: A Duo Becomes A Quartet.
Suspended for a week, luckily Lauren chose not to press charges. In a way, I was grateful but it doesn't change the fact that it was me being punished for sticking up for my friend against a nasty caniving bitch from hell might I add. Angela had gone to the principles office pleading my case, nice of her to do so but there was no need. I know what I did was right, might have been the wrong way to go about it, but hey, I was getting through to slut one with words. What else could I do. Charlie was so disappointed, I saw his eyes stare through me as the principal told him what went down. We left straight after, with Charlie having made assurances that this behaviour wouldn't happen again yada yada yada. Charlie drove home in his cruiser and me in my truck. Reaching the house, we met in the kitchen, our so called meeting place these day's. Charlie sat down, sighing heavily. Here it comes I thought to myself. I got the usual, what were you thinking Bella, why did you do that Bella, violence is never the answer Bella, blah blah blah. On and on he went, with me staring out the window, zoning out you could say. But then I did a double take, did I just hear him right? Charlie actually stating...
"That Mallory girl does have quite a nasty reputation, maybe now she's been taken down a peg or two, whilst I don't condone violence Bella, you were sticking up for your friend, so I can understand why you had to do what you did, but don't let it happen again, I'm not grounding you, your suspension is enough punishment". With that, he stood up and walked away.
What the fuck just happened?
I walked after him, I couldn't understand.
"Dad, I'm sorry, ok, I just couldn't sit back and let her badmouth Angela" I said apologetically.
"Bella, the conversation is over, I have to go back to work, I don't want you here alone so I've already phoned Billy, he says Jake will be finished school soon so go hang out with him for a while till I phone their house when I finish work, ok" said Dad.
I just looked at the floor, "ok".
Charlie picked up his jacket and left. So here I was, suspended for my behaviour but being told by my police chief father, to go hang out with my friend. The world has gotten even more fucked up overnight. So, I did as I was told, gathered my shit together, some cds and a couple cans of juice and left for Billy`s house in La Push. I drove slowly, taking my time to appreciate my surroundings for a change, Forks really does have too many trees, I mean, at the moment, I'm lost in a sea of green, and road. I was actually nervous to see Billy, I wondered if Charlie had told him what happened. When I was in La Push, Billy was waiting on the porch for me.
"There she is, the female Mike Tyson, how's the hand?" He asked cheekily, smirking.
"Fine thanks, I take it my dad told you then?" I responded.
"Pretty much, never thought you had a violent bone in your body young lady, I was shocked when Charlie told me, but he also informed me that the girl deserved it" said Billy, chortling.
"Yeah, well she should've kept her mouth shut" I said.
"Well, it's done now, no looking back Bella" he said as he wheeled himself inside with me following. "Jacob will be home in about ten minutes, so you can tell him all about your little escapades" he added.
Jacob attended school on the reservation. It was an extremely small building on the outskirts of La Push, with only a few students. I remember Jake telling me that they got mountains of homework, rather him than me I say. Sitting in the living room, which was surrounded with childhood photo's of Jake and his sister's Rebecca and Rachel. They were twins, but six years older than Jacob, so when they reached an age of so called independence, they both hightailed it out if La Push, leaving Jake to look after Billy, who was a diabetic and in a wheelchair, this major factor never stopped Billy doing anything though, he always smiled no matter what. I think Jake gets his sunny nature from his dad, warm, friendly and never judging. I never knew Jake's mom, Sarah, she was killed in a car crash when Jake was still very young. It's sad, but it's always been Jake and Billy for as long as I could remember. I still think that his sister's were a pair of selfish bastards for leaving the way they did. As I was deep in thought, I never actually registered that Jake was calling my name from outside, I stood up, seeing Jake, I smiled, but he wasn't alone.
As I walked outside, Jake stood with another two boys. They looked like triplets, all tall, dark haired, copper skinned and dark eyes. I warily made my way towards them.
"Bella, I saw you sitting at the window, what are you doing here?" Asked Jake scooping me up into one of his famous hugs.
I laughed, "I'm suspended for a week due to the little fight I had today".
Jake set me down, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
"Don't look at me like that, she had it coming ok" I said snapping.
"I just never pictured you as a fighter bell`s" said Jake.
Just then, someone cleared their throat. I had completely forgotten that we had company.
"Shit, guy's, sorry. Bella, these are my friends, this is Quill Ateara and Embry Call, guy's this is Isabella Swan but She hates getting called by her full name, so it's Bella, ok" said Jake smiling, introducing us.
Embry Call was tall, with a swimmers build. His hair was tied back in a pony tail, his skin was smooth, complexion clear, very dark almost black eyes framed with long dark lashes, he seemed very shy, you know the quiet type. He mumbled a quick hello, his cheeks taking on a rosy shade. He smiled as he did it though and his whole face lit up. He was sweet. Quill Ateara, on the other hand, was the complete opposite from embry. He was tall too, but slightly bigger built, kind of a boxer's build. His hair was short, with slight curls. His eyes were big, again dark brown and he had a lovely smile, whereas embry was shy, quill took my hand, kissing it gently looking into my eye's. He had a very cheeky smile, I could tell that he was a bit of a chancer. But sweet all the same.
"So this is the famous Bella we keep hearing about, it's a pleasure to meet you" said quill.
I laughed, "It's nice to meet you too".
"So, what are you guy`s going to do now?" I enquired softly.
"Well we are just gonna hang in the garage, talk bike's, you know, guy thing's" said Jake smiling.
"Would it be ok if I hang with you as well, I kinda git ordered by Charlie to do so anyways" I asked, kicking a stone with my shoe.
"Bella, you can hang with us anytime, besides, I wanna hear all about your little boxing match" said Jake laughing as well.
"Yeah, you have to tell us all about it" said Embry shyly.
"Hell you have to tell us, two chicks fighting is hot!" Exclaimed Quill.
Jake hit quill on his back.
"You have to excuse him Bella, quill is a bit of a sexually frustrated perv" said Jake frowning slightly.
Embry and me burst out laughing at this, quill had the decency to look ashamed, poor guy.
We all walked to garage, where I preceded to tell them what happened. The guy as listened intently to what I said, hanging onto every word. As I finished, they were quiet. They looked at each other, as if all reaching the same conclusion. They all gathered me into one massive hug. It was awesome, these guys had only just met me for the first time and here they were telling me I had done the right thing and if I ever needed any help with anything, to give them a shout.
I suddenly realised that Jake and I were no longer a duo,
We were a quartet.
It was me, Jake, quill and Embry, my new circle of friends.
