Chapter 10: LaPush
(Skipping through the whole school week...)
Finally Saturday is here and I can rest inside my warm cozy bed. Well, at least I thought so until my sister Hailey came barging inside my room. She knows I HATE IT when people don't knock on my room door.
"Grace, Grace, get up right now!" she yells, jumping up and down my bed.
I sat up laying my back against my headboard and rubbed my eyes with my fingers. I made a small yawn and frowned.
"What is it Hailey? Couldn't you see that I was sleeping! You know how I am on Saturday mornings." I whined.
Hailey finally stopped jumping on my bed and plopped down with a huge smile. This was very unusual...I've never seen Hailey this happy unless its Christmas or her birthday. I lift an eyebrow crossing my arms.
"Well?"
"There's a really hot guy here to see you down stairs!" she beamed.
My eyes widen. "Who?"
"His name is Jacob! He said he asked if you were home and wanted to know if you'd like to hang today."
"At this time of day?! He couldn't of possibly want to hang early in the morning."
Hailey made an confused look. "Early in the morning? Grace, you really need to check your clock sometimes."
I turned my head to look at my pink clock that was sitting on top of my night stand. It read "12:59pm". Gee's how long have I've slept? Must of been up too late last night...
"Oh my gosh! Well, go down stairs and keep him company while I get dressed. Where's dad?" I panicked.
Hailey got off of my bed with a smile as she exited my room. "Dad is already at work. Don't worry, I wont tell him anything."
I smiled back. "Thanks sis!"
I always knew I can count on Hailey. Well...sometimes I could. Anyways, I quickly hopped out of bed and ran to my closet to find something to wear. Guess I'll go girly today. I decided to wear a blue jean skirt, with an pink "Victoria Secret" shirt. The shoes I choose to wear are black strapped wedges. When I got out the shower, I quickly brushed my teeth and this time flat-iron my hair without any waves. I kinda like my waves better. But today I wanted to be different and no not to impress Jacob if that's what you guys are thinking -_-. I barely know the guy yet. I mean I know him, but not fully know him. Ugh, you get the point!
After putting on my make-up, I grabbed my light blue jacket and headed down the stairs. When I got to the living room, I saw my brother Conner sitting on the coach beside Jacob talking. Hailey otherwise sat on the love seat. All eyes were on me as I stepped in.
Jacob's mouth was left open. I couldn't understood why, he didn't have anything to say. It's like he was left speechless or something. Conner's eyes were wide as tennis balls and Hailey, well she was the only one smiling.
"How do I look?" I asked nervously.
Jacob stood up away from the coach and finally spoke.
"Amazing! If I known you were dressed up all nice, I wouldn't of taken you cliff diving."
I looked down at my outfit. "Actually, I had no clue that you were coming. I can go change into some tom boy clothes if you still wanna go cliff diving?"
He smiled, "No no, that wont be necessary! We can do some other things instead. Besides, you look pretty!"
"Thanks!"
Conner laughed, "Oh how cute!"
I secretly blushed and stuck my tongue out at him. Jacob somehow found it amusing and laughed while Hailey rolled her eyes.
"Well, let's go shall we?" he says, heading to the front door.
I nodded and walked after him putting on my light blue jacket. Before leaving out the door, I faced Conner and Hailey with serious eyes.
"Don't wreck the house, I wont be gone for long! I'll call when I'm on my way back."
Conner and Hailey both nodded. Knowing Conner he'll probably be upstairs in his room playing video games, while Hailey stays in the living room on her laptop. I know they'll behave until I get back. I mean come on their fourteen and sixteen years old! I can trust them I think.
"So, where are you taking me Mr. Black?" I smiled, as we both walked down the front steps of my house.
"A small part out of Forks called, La Push."
"Oh yeah, I remember you telling me Tuesday when we met in the woods. That is your home town right?"
He nodded, "Yup!"
I kinda like how he popped the "P" at the end of "yup" with his lips. It was funny to me I don't know why xD.
I followed him to his black motor bike. I forgot he doesn't have a car and noticed there is one black helmet sitting on one of the handles. He grabbed and gave it to me. I took it and smiled.
"Wow, I've never rode on a motor bike before. This is definitely a first!"
He chuckled after hopping on, "Trust me, you will love it. It rides smooth!"
I climb on and sat closely behind him. I was actually scared but I can trust him. Once he started up the bike, he pulled off into the road.
"You might wanna hold on tight, Grace!" he yells over the roaring sound of the motor.
I wrap my arms simply around his waist. Jacob started speeding up, zig zaging pass multiple of cars as we flown by. This kid sure does know how to drive. I was impressed. Maybe riding a motor bike isn't so bad after all. It was actually fun!
-----------------------------------------
It only took twenty minutes to get to La Push from Forks. I noticed there are more trees out here, way more than Forks. Plus a very nice ocean view! I can easily see the white sandy beach as we drove passed. Jacob started slowing down the motor bike as we arrived in front of a small house. I'm guessing it's Jacob's home.
Once he parked the bike, he got off and shortly smiled.
"Home sweet home!"
I jumped off the bike since I'm very short and took off the helmet sitting it on the seat. I was examing the outside of the home. It seems a bit old and the garage look like it needed more work to be done. But hey, not every one has money so I understand. At least he has a roof to sleep and eat under.
"Come on, my dad should be home." he says, while grabbing my arm.
I quickly followed behind him. He wants me to meet his parent or parents. Maybe this is a good start? Bella did mention to me that Jacob's dad is very friendly and can tell good stories. Good thing I dressed nice. Once we stepped inside the house, it was quiet. Not a sound could be heard.
Jacob threw the house keys on the dinning room table and went into the kitchen.
"My pops isn't home yet. He's probably out hunting still with Bella's dad Charlie!" he yells from out the kitchen. "You can go sit in the living room, I'm going to bring in snacks!"
I nodded, "Okay!" and walked straight towards a room which I am assuming is the living room. It had only one large sofa, a small table, and TV. I plopped down on the sofa and grabbed the TV remote from off the table. As I flicked through the channels, Jacob had finally came in with a large plate of nachos. He sat down close beside me. Close enough where our skin could touch. His body heat is extremely warm and caused for me to jump a bit.
He handed me a can of grape soda that's already opened.
I took it and smiled, "Thanks pal!"
"I guess we can chill here for a few minutes until my dad gets here. He shouldn't be long!" he says, while reaching down to grab a cheesy nacho.
I nodded, after taking a sip from my grape soda. Grape soda was always my favorite type of pop. I then took a nacho chip filled with meat and cheese, popping it inside my mouth.
I realized Jacob was looking at me. I smiled and then faced the TV again flickering through the channels.
"So, how did you meet my best friend again?" he asked, while putting his left arm behind me.
I met my eyes with his. "Who? Bella?? We met in History class on my first day of school there. She was very friendly and sweet. Somehow we became best buds!"
He smiled, "Cool. I've known her since we were little kids. Those were the days..."
"Yeah. She told me.."
"Every since she met that Edward guy, our friendship had went down hill. Its like she has forgotten about me or something! All she cares about is him, him, him."
I watched Jacob's smile drop to a frown as he stared down at the floor. His fist were balling up and his jaw kind of tightened. I can see there's been some tension going on. I slowly reached over and placed my hand on top of his. He was extremely hot than before and it burnt my hand to some degree. I snatched my hand back.
"Och! Jake, your like really hot. Are you okay?"
Jacob was starting to breathe heavily, but then it stopped. His face was a bit sweaty and his frown turned into a sad face. By this I figured something is wrong. Could he had feelings for Bella? I got to know this. Maybe this is one of the things Bella was hiding from me back at her house.
"Jacob? Did you once like Bella??" I asked, calmly.
I watched his eyes shift from the floor to my brown ones. All I could see is hurt in his eyes as he spoke.
"Not liked, loved. Like and love are two different things Grace and yes I once did." he replied.
"What ever happened?"
His eyes dropped back down to the floor again.
"It's a long story..."
I scooted closer next to him and slowly grabbed his less hot hand.
"Come on, you can tell me. I don't care how long it is I'm here to listen. I consider you as my buddy now!"
He sat his head up away from the floor again and halfway smiled.
"Alright, you asked for it!"
After hearing the sad story of how Jacob's love for Bella had gotten ruin by Edward I felt really bad for him. It made my heart ache, but I guess Edward had more to give than Jacob did. He is her true official love. Jacob must didn't have all the expectations. I laid my head on his shoulder while letting go of his hand.
"Jacob someday you will find your true love. It may not happen today, tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. You'll know when you see her, trust me!"
A smile was starting to form on Jacob's face. I'm assuming I had made him feel better. He turned around so he could give me a hug.
"Thank you, Grace!"
I returned the smile while hugging him. "More than welcome. If you ever need to talk to someone, just ask for me!"
Jacob nodded as he released himself from the hug and met his eyes with mines again. I stared into his dark brown ones. He was so darn attractive and had the perfect hair too. I noticed how muscular Jacob really is based on the thin white T-shirt he has on and the tight hug he gave me. Dude must have been really working out!
Just then a sound of the front door has been opened. I quickly jumped up full alarm and had no idea who came in. Jacob laughed and gotten up.
"Relax Grace, it's just my boys!" he smiled.
I watched him walk out the living room. He then came back in with three other boys behind him. All of their widen when they saw me except for Jacob. He just stood there crossing his arm with a smile.
"Whoa Jacob, you never did tell me you had a girlfriend!" said the guy with the black hair and dark brown eyes. I'm guessing he's over 6'0 because he is very tall. Taller than me in fact!
I put my hands on my hips with a grin. "Ha ha, very funny and you must be the clown of the day?"
"Who is she Jake?" asked the younger one.
"Yeah?" asked the third one.
"She's my newest friend. This is Grace, she's from Forks and was found by Bella!" He then rolled his eyes, "And no she's not my girlfriend."
The younger one had stepped up to me with a smile. He seems very polite and nice.
"Hi, my name is Seth!"
I shook his hand, "Grace Baker, nice to meet ya Seth!"
"I'm Embry!" waved the third boy.
I waved back. I then looked over to the taller guy again who I called a clown. He gave me a wide smirk.
"And I'm Quil Ateara, the clown!"
I rolled my eyes at him trying hard not to laugh.
"So, what made you three come stop by?" Jacob asked, while taking his same seat on the sofa.
"Sam's orders!" replied Seth.
Embry nodded. "Yeah, it's a meeting. He wants you to join!"
"Like now! So, tell your girlfriend good-bye." smirked Quil.
I squinted my eyes at him. He was really starting to piss me off a bit, but i couldn't help but to blush.
"For the last time Quil, we are not together. She's just a friend like Bella is!" said Jacob, who was feeling annoyed as I am.
"Yeah, knock it off doo-fuss!" said Embry, who punched Quil playfully on the shoulder.
Quil rolled his eyes, "Whatever.."
Jacob got off the coach again and snatched his house keys from off the dinning room table.
"Come on Grace, let's get you home quick!"
I nodded and followed him out the door with the other boys close behind me. Its like their watch dogs or something. I climbed on the motor bike behind Jacob and watched them wave good bye. So far, I found Seth my favorite. He was very friendly. Embry seemed okay and Quil was the annoying one in my opinion. I can already tell me and him wont get along very easily.
