"Hi." I said happily as I approached Jasper sitting at a desk reading a book or acting like he was reading a book. He was obviously waiting for me.
"Hi, How are you?"
"I'm good" I said with a smile as I walked and sat down next to him. "Sorry I'm a little late I was having trouble finding a ride."
"Well if you ever need a ride just let me know. I'll be happy to pick you up." He said smiling.
"OK, I'll keep that in mind but I don't want to make you go out of your way I live in La Push."
"Don't worry about it, I like driving especially if it's to pick you up." He saying trying his hardest to be smooth.
"Oh is that so, Hey Are you trying to flirt with me?"
"No, Maybe, Yea a little but I don't think its working."
I get up and start to walk towards the microfiche. "It might be working, A little." As I look back and smile while he quickly gathers his books and jumps to his feet bumping his knee on the table looking clumsy, but cute at the same time. He almost drops his books but recovers then plays it off like it never happened as he quickly catches up to me and changes the subject.
"So the weather, Cloudy huh."
"Yea you could say that." I say laughing underneath my breath.
Paul's POV
I wonder what she's doing right now, If she's OK. I can't help but to think that she's at home miserable crying her eyes out all because of me. And this curse this secret that's tearing us apart. I don't know how much more I can take I can't stand being away from her knowing she's in pain.
"Hey Paul me and Sam are going to go to my house to talk with my Dad, Do you want to come?"
"Yea" I said quickly hoping I could catch a glimpse of Bella maybe if she saw me she would know somehow that I Didn't mean what I said. Or maybe I can sneak away and talk to her for a second and try to explain some things. I don't care if Sam knows, I need to tell her what's going on.
On our way to Jacob's house I noticed Sam kept giving me a look, As if he doesn't want me to go with them. Maybe he senses something, Oh well I don't care if he does I still need to talk to Bella.
"Hey Paul." Jacob says as he taps me on my shoulder to get my attention.
"Yea."
"What are you going to do when you see Bella."
"Hopefully I don't have to do anything. Besides look at her and let the rest happen. Maybe this curse will be good for something after all."
"You better watch it man. Don't let Sam hear you call it a curse."
"So what if he does, I'm not worried about Sam right now."
We arrived at Jacob's house to see there car wasn't there. I thought we were here to see Billy I said to myself as we walked towards the house. I couldn't help but stare at Bella's window hoping I would see her glance out but she didn't.
We walked into the house following Jacob as we were greeted by his Mom in the living room. I watched as Jacob hugged his Mom as she kissed him on the cheek and whispered in his ear. One good thing about this curse is I can hear when people are talking behind my back. This time wasn't one of them though, As she just told him that she was proud of the way he's handling everything.
I wasn't paying attention to the rest of the conversation as my eyes were fixated on the staircase. As If I was waiting for her to come walking down the stairs smiling at me. Like she used to do before I broke her heart. I stared waiting for her thinking I would at least hear her bedroom door open hoping she would at least sneak down and try to spy on us.
We made our way into the kitchen as Jacob asked his Mom where Bella was. She kind of hesitated then answered.
"She's upstairs she must be taking a nap."
He thought nothing of it as we walked threw the kitchen and into the backyard we made our way to the garage where Billy was working on his truck.
"Hey Dad."
"Hey son, Sam, Paul."
"How's she doing Dad any luck with her yet."
"Nope nothing yet I can't get her to start up, She's being stubborn."
"Like all women." Jacob said as they all started to laugh I joined in as not too look like I wasn't paying attention. Just as Billy put his tools down and walked towards Sam whispering something in his ear the only thing I could make out was something about someone becoming a problem. Just then Billy looked towards me and Jacob.
"Why don't you boys go and wait by the house, Me and Sam have some things we need to talk about."
We agreed and made our way back towards the house when we heard the phone ringing from the kitchen. I heard Sarah answer.
"Hello.... Hi Bella.....Well what time?...... OK but your father's not going to like this.......You don't even know the boy........ I don't care if it's just to get something to eat....... Just be careful....... OK I love you too come home as soon as your done eating, Bye."
Jacob looked at me with this look on his face he looked just as mad as I did.
"What the hell was that." He said as he walked into the house confronting his Mom.
"It was Bella she's at the library in Forks with Jasper."
"Who the hell is Jasper." Jacob says what I was thinking as his Mom quickly answers.
"He's just a friend someone she met at the library."
"Well I want to meet him." Jacob says as I raise my hand.
"Same here."
Calm down boys she's fine, She knows how to take care of herself. And besides I don't think its any of your guy's business" She says with a smirk on her face.
"Bull it ain't my business, I want to know who this guy is that's with my baby sister."
"Jacob honey why is it when your trying to be protective of her she's your baby sister. But any other time she's just your sister." She says smiling leaving Jacob stumped as he stands there speechless. As I walk up to him patting him on his shoulder.
"Dude she got you there."
"Yea whatever, But I want to meet this guy. And if he does anything to her I'll kick his ass."
I smile as I look at Jacob.
"Yea I've herd that before." I say trying not to laugh as Jacob follows his Mom into the living room.
"Hey Jacob, I'll be outside in the back." I tell him as he follows closely behind his Mom still complaining about the guy Bella's with.
I walked outside and made my way towards the other side of the backyard away from the garage. But I couldn't hear what Billy and Sam where talking about. I was just thinking about Bella and this guy when it finally hit me.
Bella's out there with another guy suddenly my heart feels as if it fell to the floor. It hit me like a ton of bricks. But I tried to play it cool inside I didn't want Jacob and his Mom to see me in pain. I sat there with my head in my hands knowing it was over. She's already moved on I thought to myself as Jacob walked towards me.
"Hey man are you OK."
I look up at him my eyes watering not really knowing how to answer.
"Yea I just, I don't know."
"Is it about Bella? Don't worry about it man he's probably just a friend. He's probably gay anyways I mean who hangs out at the library." He says trying to lighten the mood.
"Well I'm going to go find out."
"You can't just leave Paul. Sam Isn't going to allow it."
"I don't care I need to see for myself. Just tell them I had something to do."
"I don't know if I can cover for you man."
"Don't worry about it whatever happens, Happens. I'll deal with the consequences. I need to see her."
"Alright man I'll do what I can to stall you better hurry. Good luck." He says as he extends his hand to me.
I reach out and shake Jacobs hand. "Thanks bro." He stands trying to think of something to tell Sam and his Dad. As I take off running threw the woods towards Forks,towards Bella.
