I am Fire Chapter 2
Amazing quote:
Men hate to cry, they rarely ever do.
But when a man cries over you,
I can guarantee he loves you.
Because men only cry when they lose something or are afraid of losing something they love as much or more than themselves.
Cat quote:
Yes I know I got hair all over the couch…
IT's called FURniture isn't it?
(Molly's POV)
The next day I woke up at 7:30 and started getting ready to go shopping. I ran to my bathroom, hoped into the shower quickly, trying to stay off the cold tile. I couldn't help but long for Jacob. He and his- no today I will have a good day shopping with Leah. And convince her into talking to Lucas. I cleaned my hair and body and leapt out of the shower, dried off and ran back to my room. I checked the clock.
8:01
I had 29 minutes to get ready and eat. I ran to my bag and pulled out short acid washed jean shorts. I pulled out a big off the shoulder sweater that was a burgundy color. I grabbed a couple ring bracelets and grabbed my dark leather purse. I placed my phone, lipstick, wallet, and pepper spray. I brushed my long brown hair, leaving down for today and jumped down the stairs. Lukey and Benny where already downstairs eating. Waffles. After I had eaten and ran upstairs to get my necklace that went to around my belly button. I ran down stairs to see Leah and Lucas talking.
"You ready?" I asked her.
She nodded. Ben jumped up and followed us to the car. We got in and Ben started driving.
"I'm really sorry about Jake." She said. Jake. The name made the ache in my heart worse than it was already.
"It's alright. Today I want to have a Jacob free day."
"Okay."
We arrived at the shopping mall at 10. We walked in after waving goodbye to my brother who sped past us.
"So where are we going first?" I asked Leah.
"Mmm. Not sure."
"Then let's go check out the board."
We walked over and I started reading.
American eagle, we'd have to go there, Aeropostal, go there too.
I looked at every store and at the end I had come up with.
American eagle, Aeropostal, Joe fresh, under armour, Nike, Sport Chek, Dynamite, Garage, Victoria secret, Claire's, H & M, Gap, Old navy, Smart set, The Bay, Sears, Jacobs, Laura petite, Rickis, Melanie Lynn, Jones's New York, Zara, Ardene, Fido, The body shop, Sports experts, Izod, Fair weather and Viva La Rose. I dragged Leah to the first chosen store, which happened to be Aeropostal. They had a 60% off sale. We walked in and started looking around.
30 minutes later we came out with shopping bags. I had gotten a pair of acid washed jeans, blue and white corset dress, a green off the shoulder long sleeve sweater, a short sleeve sweater, two sports bras and a floral light blue and white skirt. Leah had gotten a purple and white flower dress, a pair of carpi black sweat pants, a pair of light jean shorts, a plaid long sleeve shirt, a plain orange t-shirt, a jean jacket and a high low forest green dress.
When we got to my house 7 hours later, both my brothers were in the kitchen eating.
"Hey Lukey, we're home!" I yelled to him. He turned to face us, and his attention went to Leah immediately.
"Hey, girls. Can we see what you got?" Ben asked, smiling.
Ah and I looked at each other before running upstairs to my room to drop our bags. We had to make 5 trips to get all the cloths and stuff up to my room. Leah stared a while at my room in wonder.
"Wow. You have an awesome room." She said.
"I know. You want to stay the night?"
"Why?"
"Cause we can stay up all night, talk and annoy my brothers." I explained.
"You don't have patrol tonight?"
"No. You?"
"No."
"So you're staying!" I squeaked.
"Fine."
"Okay what are you wearing first?"
"Hun?" She asked, confused.
"Fashion show."
"I've never done this."
"Why not?" I asked, shocked.
"I never had anything to show off. It was all cut offs and baggy shirts."
"Well, that's going to change. We're going shopping again next week. And I'm picking your cloths you're going to wear every day."
"What? Why?" She asked sharply.
"Cause then my brother won't be able to keep his eyes off you, and you'll have an alpha following you like a love sick puppy."
She blushed and then laughed.
"Okay then."
"Yes!" I yelled in triumph.
I dressed in the light green and white patterned spaghetti strap summer dress. It was form fitting until the waist, which flared out. I kept my long brown hair down and when hunting to find something for Leah. I finally found a white dress that had two inch straps and went down to the knee. Starting at the top of the dress was a gold strip that ran diagonal to the other side near the knee. I handed her the gold flats we had bought and slipped on my brown penny loafers. We ran down stairs to find that her pack sat in the living room. I looked around only to see that Jacob wasn't here. Which after yesterday it was a relief. Why wasn't he here? Was he with the Bella girl? She must be very beautiful and smart if she had him following her. Paul looked up at me, and smiled, then looked at Leah and his eyes widened. As did my brother's. His eyes stayed on Leah even after Sam spoke to him.
"We're having a bonfire in three weeks. The elders will be there and we can discuss what is happening. We can invite the vampires too." Sam spoke to him, looking amused.
"Sure. Umm, do you want my pack entire pack there?"
"Just a couple."
"Okay."
They all started to leave but Paul stayed, hesitating.
"Can I talk to you?" He asked me. I nodded and led him to the living room.
"What's up?"
"Well, Jake needs to get his head out of his a**. I want to help him get over Bella faster." I explain to me.
Get over this Bella faster. Well, that sounds good.
"Okay. So what do you suggest?" I asked.
"We act like we're dating. You know if you imprint, you don't like seeing them with someone else."
"Okay. Won't he try to like, kill you or something?"
Paul snorted.
"He can try. The other guys will pull him off pretty fast."
"Then yes. And thank you."
"No problem. I don't want Leech lover around anymore than you do."
Today was the bonfire at the beach. The last three weeks Paul and I had gotten to know each other, and we had a lot of fun. I still didn't see Jake. The times I wasn't with Paul, I was with Leah. We went shopping, went to the spa, and went paintballing and other stuff. My brother Ben, started his new job at the Apple store. Leah and Lucas were doing great. Two days ago Lucas got asked her out on a date, for last night. It went very well. Leah came home smiling and squeaking. Lucas this morning was smiling widely. I spent the day with Leah getting our nails done and playing laser tag. At 4:00 pm we started getting ready to go. We had to leave at 5. That gave us an hour. I dressed Leah in a white one strap dress that went to her mid-thigh. There was a white belt at the waist. It was form fitting until the belt where it flowed out. My put on diamond dangly earing and a white bracelet. She put on white strappy sandals, as well. I put on a blue and white corset dress. It was longer on the sides and a little bit shorter in the middle. It came to about my knee and it was strapless. I was really excited to meet the elders and other imprints of their pack. We rushed down stairs and Leah had to go. We could not arrive with other wolves that were not in our pack. Though I thought Leah was in our pack, she was formally a member of the La Push pack. We had a total of 7 wolves with us. Lucas, Ben, Me, Keith, Cliff, Adam and Angel. We arrived at the beach with two minutes to spare. The elders of their pack sat to one side, the pack sat to the other and the pack imprints and family sat on another. They had left the last log for us. We all sat down and I looked around for Jacob. He was there, sitting on the log with Brady and Collin on either side of him. I noticed Paul and Leah sat the farthest away from him. I smiled at them. One other elders, I assumed the top elder, spoke.
"Thank you all for coming. Hello foreign pack. If you would stand and introduce your selves it would be appreciated. I am Billy Black, The head Elder." He was Jacob's father. Wow. Wait. That meant Jacob was the rightful alpha.
My brother stud and introduced himself.
"Hello, I am Lucas Adams, the rightful alpha of the Canadian pack."
He sat down and Ben stud.
"Hello, I am Benjamin Adams, third in order of the Canadian pack."
Keith, Cliff, Adam and Angel went and finally it was my turn. I swallowed, nervous.
"Hello, I am Molly Adams. I am second in order and the female alpha of the Canadian pack."
I sat down after I spoke.
After the boys had figured out the boarders and agreed to something, the fun started.
"Okay, now that everything is good we are going up the beach to party. Your pack is welcome to come if you want." Lucas said to Sam. He narrowed his eyes at Lucas and shock his head no to his pack. But Paul and Leah were already up and following us, before it happened. The elders walked over to us before we left. Billy smiled at me and said.
"If you need help from us, we'll be glad to help. I look forwards to knowing you, Molly." I smiled.
"I hope so too."
Paul came over and I allowed him to tuck me into his side. Billy looked shocked and I heard a low growl from behind me. Jacob. I mentally smirked.
"Yo! Chicka! Pau! We're starting the music! Come on!" Ben yelled to us. I smiled up at Paul and we said goodbye to Billy. We tuck off, hand in hand running up the beach. They started the music and turned it up till my ears started ringing. It was Summer by Calvin Harris. It changed to Wake me up by avicii. Beer started getting pasted around and Ben turned on some flashing colored lights. I looked over to the bonfire, the pack was seated quietly talking. Leah appeared next to me and pointed to them. I nodded. We ran over with a beer in our hand. Leah yelled at them.
"Guys! Come on!"
Embry, Quil, Brady, Collin and Seth leapt to their feet and ran over to us. The girl sitting on Jared's lap jumped up, grabbing his hand and started running towards us. Jared smiled and grabbed her around the waist, and started running faster towards us, with her screaming. I looked back at the rest. The Elders smiled at me and started talking among themselves. Jacob sat next to a girl with his arm rapped around her. I felt jealousy rip through my stomach. The vamps arrived then and I yelled at them.
"Over here! You peeps late and you miss! Come on, we're partying! If you don't bite anybody we don't! Come on if you dare!" I screamed to them.
One laughed and started over with a girl that had blond hair. I always wanted blond hair but I got given brown. And if I dyed it came out with in an hour. Stupid werewolf healing or something. Three vamps stayed behind, one of them hugging the girl Jacob had been with. I entered his mind hoping to understand what was going on. Was he family? If he was, he was a new born and he was dangerous.
Stupid werewolf. Bella is mine. She picked me over him. He won't go away even with an imprint. I feel bad for her. Wait- she's with Paul. Why isn't her fighting for her? She's his soul mate, not Bella. God he is annoying. Why is Bella even here? Is she stringing him along for the battle with Victoria? So we have more fighters? What about the other pack? We're already engaged and yet she won't wear the ring. Is she lying to me? She said so he won't freak but is that it true?
Great so Jacob is in love with this Bella girl. And she's stringing him along. Joy. Well, I hate her already. She got up and started pulling both of them towards me. Ya, way to rub it in. The vamp shot me a sympathetic look. I tried smiling at him but it came out as a sad smile.
Hello. I said in my mind. He looked shocked for a second before responding to me.
Hello. I'm Edward.
I'm Molly.
You imprinted on Jake didn't you?
Yes and he wants to make me life living hell by not accepting it.
I know, he's stubborn. He imprinted on you, you know.
Yes, it just makes it harder. Am I that bad? Or am I too broken?
He's an idiot. He won't let Bella go. He kissed her, you know?
WHAT? He did what?! That insufferable idiot? How would he feel it I kissed Paul right in front of him? He's a no good-
She punched him after.
Wow.
And broke her hand.
That's kind of sad. I would run, get a metal baseball bat and beat him with it.
I thought so too. But she strings him along. I don't thing she mean to but she does.
You mean she wants to be happy and she doesn't care who she hurts.
No, she just wants to be friends with him.
But he doesn't, he loves her.
I know. And I do too.
What's so special about her? Why does Jacob want her, she's so plain.
HEY!
Sorry. I'm just mad.
I know.
We arrived at the party at that moment and I sunk into the crowd. I found Paul and grabbed him by his shirt.
"I want you to kiss me." I whispered to him.
"Are you sure?" He asked, his breath had a sweat beer smell.
"Yes." I whispered back.
And with that he lowered his lips to mine. The kiss was sweet and long. We heard a growl behind us and Paul ripped his lips from mine. Jacob stud there shacking violently. I looked at him, acting confused.
"THAT'S MY IMPRINT! PAUL! YOU CAN'T HURT AN IMPRINT!" He yelled at him.
"Jake, you rejected your imprint. She's not yours. And I haven't hurt her. You've hurt her more." He said, calm. I was surprised he was this calm.
That was a dirty move, you know. Edward thought to me.
It worked.
True. He replied.
Jake spun around and burst out a russet colored wolf, running towards the forest.
"Paul!" Sam yelled.
"I didn't do anything wrong!" He snapped.
"Ya, except she's a slut." Bella said.
I stared at her in shock. I was a…a. More like she is.
Your girlfriend…I shocked, she called me a-a.
I know. She's being a b****. I've never seen this side of her.
"WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL MY CHICKA?!" Ben roared, he was shacking violently. I was too.
"Your Chicka? What are you banging your own brother, too?" She said, to me.
I-I would. What?! I spun around and burst out into my white wolf.
Bella called to me.
"Oh and stay away from Jacob. He's mine."
I ran towards the forest, bursting through the forest seconds later. I barely noticed Jacob's thoughts. It was me kissing Paul.
I was too busy thinking about what had happened to remember that Jacob would know what I was thinking. I replayed the events in my head.
Was I really a-a? I chocked.
(Jacob in bold)
SHE called you a what?!
She-she. Shit. Get out of my head! Your friend Bella, I-I hate her.
Please tell me she didn't call you that.
Why else would I have shifted? I'm not a hot headed wolf.
Oh. I'm so sorry, Molly.
Yeah right. I believe you totally. You're just pitying me.
No, I'm not. Really.
Whatever. You hate me and rejected me, you have no idea how much it hurts. You love your nice little Bella. I spat at him.
No, really-
I phased out. That girl had made me phase in a new dress. And I liked that dress. A lot. I got up, naked and ran home. My brothers weren't there when I got home. I ran straight to my room and fell onto my bed, crying.
What did I ever do to Bella?
Why did she hate me?
Is it because he imprinted on me?
I started singing. I found, if I was upset I would sing.
Oh, you can't hear me cry,
See my dreams all die,
From where you're standing,
On your own,
It's so quiet here,
And I feel so cold,
This house no longer,
Feels like home,
Uhhhhh X4
Oh, when you told me you'd leave,
I felt like I couldn't breathe,
My aching body fell to floor,
Then I called you at home,
You said that you weren't alone,
I should've known better,
Now it hurts much more,
Uhhhhh X4
You caused my heart to bleed and,
You still owe me a reason,
'Cause I can't figure out why…
Why I'm alone and freezing,
While you're in the bed that she's in,
And I'm just left alone to cry
Uhhhhhh X4
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.
[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
I really wish I could stand through it, but I'm slowly breaking and when I do I don't know if I'll be the same after. I don't know if I'll ever be the same. And I don't if I'll stop falling before it's too late to come back and resurface.
