Chapter 55

Halloween. That kiss. That amazing fucking kiss. I could not get it out of my head for shit. I wanted more, no, I craved more. It didn't help that Jacob took that as a sign that we were going to get back together soon. That wasn't the case. Even if I wanted him I wasn't going to be played like a fool...again! After Halloween, Thanksgiving came. All of the pack was together at Emily's that night. The morning was spent with their families but they all came over later and ate up the rest of the food Emily had made. While watching football that night Jacob and I sat next to one another. It wasn't so bad. Kind of awkward at first and we kept stealing glances when we thought the other wasn't looking. He tried to wrap his arm around me but I shuddered and he dropped it immediately. However he did have it on the small of my back when he thought I was not paying attention. I didn't comment on it because that wasn't so bad but I still did feel bad later. I was giving him false hope.

As much as I wanted him I still had to stay strong.

And then there was Ethan, who I really did care about. I liked Ethan but I knew that even if we did end up getting together it would just end because I would eventually go back to Jacob. I couldn't hurt him like that. He really was a good person who didn't deserve to be hurt by me. He didn't deserve to have to put up with the drama that revolved around my life. He said he understood and we could still be friends. That was a positive. Wasn't it?

Anyways, we had made it to December and today was the day. December 15th. I was officially the big seventeen years old today.

Actually they call it the big 18.

I had woke up to not only an alarm clock but my buzzing cell phone. I had gotten messages from the cheer team, even though I didn't do the sport this year didn't mean that we weren't friends anymore. And then there was a text message from Kim.

GO PIPER, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday best friend. Love you so much and I will see you soon!-Kim.

I rolled my eyes but smiled pushing things out of the way of my closet. 17 today and I was going to look nice. I had already showered and the only things I really picked out was a pair of black stockings because I was wearing a dress. I found a black dress with light purplish flowers on it. Short sleeved and open neck. I put on stockings before putting on my dress followed by a nice pair of jeans and a matching jacket. My hair was straight and the ends were curled in ringlets. My make up was so on point today. I smiled looking in the mirror, I looked hot.

Seventeen years old today. That was definitely something to be happy about. I grabbed my stuff and clasped my car keys tightly in my hands before running downstairs. I walked into the kitchen to tell Emily and Sam I would see them later, well really Emily because I was not sure if Sam was here or not. He was probably on patrol or something. Emily was sitting at the table writing down something when I walked in.

"Morning."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIPER!" She yelled jumping up and running to give me a hug causing me to chuckle.

"Thank you."

"How does it feel to be 17 years old?" She asked causing me to shrug. "Just like any other day I guess, however there is something special there because I am older now." It made sense in my head but Emily nodded like she got it.

"What time are you coming home?" She wondered.

"Probably right after school. If not I will call or text or something. Why?" I wondered curiously. I knew why but I didn't want to burst her bubble. I had heard her saying something about throwing me a surprise party on the phone one day. I guessed she was speaking to Leah.

"Just wondering. I think Kim is taking you to her house though, I remember her saying something about it."

Ah, sweet Kim was in on it too. Alright then, I could play along.

"I will let you know but I got to go I don't want to be late."

"Of course not, see you later Piper."

"Bye Em." I spoke walking out of the door and getting in my car heading to school. It was a short ride, as usual. As soon as I got there I went straight to my locker so I could put some of my books away that I would not need until later.

"Hello birthday hottie." Looking up from my open locked I grinned towards Kim.

"Best friend hottie." I replied back instantly before laughing to myself. I was so corny sometimes.

"Happy birthday," she spoke throwing her arms around me. I hugged her back before pulling away and thanking her.

"Thanks Kim."

"Alright, I know we have class soon but after school do you want to come to my house?" She wondered.

"Yeah, sure why not. I have nothing else to do." I couldn't help but wonder what kind of surprise party Emily was planning. I was sure it would be amazing.

"I should have skipped school today," I breathed.

Kim chuckled, "Well I am sure it won't be a bad day. I mean it is your birthday after all."

I could only hope so. I went to first period and sat in my chair bored. All I truly wanted to do was go home.

Sorry that I missed you this morning sis, I was on patrol. I am about to head to work but I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday! I will see you later after school. Enjoy your day!- Sam.

I grinned giving him back a quick reply. As soon as I sent the message another text came in from Leah.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL BEST FRIEND PIPER FUCKING ULEY! SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD. I HOPE YOU DRESSED HOT TODAY TO MAKE THAT DAMN JACOB BLACK JEALOUS! LOVE YOU LOT'S! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!- Leah.

I don't care what comes out of anyone's mouth. I love you Leah Clearwater!- Piper.

Love you too birthday girl!-Leah.

I truly did love her. She was so fucking awesome.

Good morning sweetheart. I would just like to wish you a very happy birthday. I hope that you enjoy your day. I love you baby girl.- Josh.

At least he was texting me. I smiled and replied thank you with a smiley face. I didn't reply back the I love you part because I did not really feel it. I mean I cared about him and this summer had definitely enhanced my feelings however I didn't love him or anything like that. Not yet, at least. A part of me was scared that if I did start to love him and let him be even more of a father to me that he would just up and leave. That was the last thing that I needed or wanted. A good thing was that this day was passing by pretty fast. At lunch I sat with the pack even Jacob and had to bite the inside of my cheek from grinning. Jacob was staring at me like a mad man. Yeah, I definitely knew now that I looked hot. I mean I had heard some boys in school whistling when I walked past but I did not really pay them much attention.

"So, how are you enjoying your birthday so far?" Jacob wondered.

"It's going good. Only class periods left and then I can get the hell out of here," I noted as we left the cafeteria and headed towards Spanish class. I didn't mind this. Us, together talking and walking to class. That wasn't bad.

As we walked some guy whistled at me and I smiled at him. "Happy Birthday Piper."

"Thanks Cody." Cody Smith. He was in my Trig class and we were friends. I didn't miss the growl that was erupting from Jacob however.

It was silent after we passed Cody until Ethan appeared in front of me. I smiled. "Hey Ethan."

"Hi Piper." He rubbed the back of his head. "I ugh just wanted to wish you a happy birthday." He handed me a blue bag.

"You didn't have to get me anything," I spoke.

"I wanted too." A loud growl caused me to jump. I turned my head in Jacob's direction and glared. Ethan spoke quickly then, "Happy Birthday and I'll see you later." I nodded my head and grinned when he kissed my cheek quickly before walking off. I started towards class however a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I already knew it was Jacob so I decided not to fight it. Of course it was him, who else would grab me like that. As he opened the door and stepped inside with me I sighed. I was in for an argument. I could tell. "You know I really do love and enjoy how you grab me and then drag me to a closet.I also just love how you have my arm grasped in your hand." I looked to where his large hand held my tiny wrist. I had a smile on my face though. Nothing was going to ruin my special day.

"Do you realize how many people are staring at you today?" At first I didn't answer. "Huh? They have been staring at your ass all day. Not just your ass but your whole damn body." Oh, he was mad. I could see it all over his face. Too bad I didn't give a shit.

"And the point it?" I wondered before continuing. "People stare at you all the time. They think that you are on steroids are something, remember?" I laughed a little to myself which only infuriated Jacob and caused him to pull me closer. It was already a small closet so our bodies didn't help. At least I didn't think it did.

"This isn't funny." He spat. "You have no idea how hard it is for me not to go over there and-," I cut him off. "And what?! Well maybe you know how I felt when I had to see flaunt around with your precious Bella. Want to know the difference? I was actually your girlfriend at that time, I had a title to you then. Now, we are nothing."

"But we could be," he said softly. "If you stopped fighting me."

"So you could brake my heart again?" I snorted. "No thank you."

"I wouldn't do that to you."

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

He touched his nose to mine then. I wanted so bad for us to share a kiss like we did on Halloween. The feeling of his soft lips to mine.

Shit.

"Do you know how hard that was?" He breathed, his breath hitting my face. Well damn. I knew myself and I knew if he kept it up we were going to end up making out right here in this closet. "To allow him to give you a birthday gift? Not only that but too allow him to kiss you on the cheek? I just wanted to kill him."

I froze. "Stop. You can't kill him."

"Why?" He questioned, his voice was hard. "Because you like him."

"No," I pulled away separating us too. "These conclusions your jumping to are annoying if anything Jacob."

"What the fuck am I supposed to think?"

"I don't give a shit what you think Jacob." I yelled practically. "We are not fucking together anymore. Get that through your thick ass skull!"

"But we could be."

I snorted. "We were. We were good, not we were fucking amazing Jacob. Then you fucked it all up for that slut Isabella Swan."

"Bella's not a slut."

I frowned instantly. I stalked towards the door speaking, "There you go defending her but hey why am I not surprised? That's your thing right." I had my hand on the door ready to open it when he pulled my arm back and crushed our bodies together. "Let me go," I started to fight but he only held me tighter before he whispered, "Never," and moved his face towards my neck and started giving me gentle kisses. Fuck. He was not supposed to be doing this. I was supposed to be pissed and he wasn't supposed to be dong this too me.

I bit my lip trying to stop the moan that came out when he began to lightly and gently suck. Oh shit. I was sure he planned on leaving a mark there. That was just the Jacob thing to do. Of course.

"We've got to stop doing this," I murmured as he continued to assault my neck with kisses. I was sure by the moans I was trying to stop from coming out he knew that I liked it. Fucker.

It's my birthday though. At least I am getting some kind of attention, even if it's wrong.

"Give in to me," he murmured moving his lips up my neck and towards my cheeks. I wanted to kiss him so bad. I knew I shouldn't. I knew I should hold in but dammit; Jacob was addicting.

"I can't. Oh, fuck." There we go with kissing the neck again but to make matters worse he was sucking on my pulse now.

"You can," he murmured moving his lips back up. He caught his lips with mine and moved my hands into his hair pulling him closer. I was such a wimp. I just couldn't let him go. Especially when he started using those lips to whew me. My moans sounded throughout the closet when Jacob's hands went and cupped my ass before he lifted me causing me to wrap my legs around his waist. Because I moaned Jacob took advantage and stuck his tongue in my mouth. As our tongue's danced together I forgot about our issues and how he betrayed me. It was just us two. Sharing our love through a passionate kiss with Jacob occasionally squeezing my ass. Because I was wearing a dress his hands were actually on my ass, well I had on panties but I wasn't going to lie about how I liked the way his hands felt. Shit. This was bad.

When I needed air I pulled away and put my head in the crook of Jacob's neck. We were both breathing heavy and I knew he was smiling. I took in a big sigh when he let me down. His hands stayed on my ass and he pulled me to his chest, his eyes looking deep into mines. "I will give you your birthday present tonight." And with that he kissed me on the lips giving my ass a squeeze before he was gone.

I stood in the closet breathing heavy and ran a hand through my hair. Did that really just fucking happen, was all I could think about.


First, I am so sorry for the very long update that everyone was waiting for. I have been having computer problems and I keep getting stuck with the direction I want to take this story. I know but then I don't, very confusing. Thank you all for still continuing to review, favorite and alert/follow.

I was going to make this whole chapter about Piper's birthday but I feel really bad and I want to post something so I will do a part 2 next!

Just wondering do you any of you think that Ethan should make a change and become a wolf?

I need help. I read this story awhile ago where Bella got pregnant by Edward and he didn't see her again until she was giving birth. I remember she had a boy and wanted to be apart of his life however I forgot the title. If anyone knows this story please let me know. Thank you so much! :)

I have been reading a lot of fanfiction when I have not been writing and I am really enjoying the stories of Mobward or when Edward get's Bella pregnant and doesn't meet the baby until like 2 or 3 years later or something. Some are really good. If you know any good ones please let me know. I will try and update ASAP!
