STARING AT THE SUN
CHAPTER 13
BELLA P.O.V
The week following our breakup was the hardest thing I've ever done. Trying to get an essay and a book finished while also trying to not break down, was hard. So on Thursday, when my afternoon class got canceled, I called Charlie to see if I could come home for the weekend. I didn't tell him that we broke up, Billy did. Said Jacob hadn't left his room in days and he was worried about him. So I figured I could go home and see if he wanted to talk. I also decided that the month of September sucked. It was the worst month out of all of them.
I asked Embry if he wanted to come with before I bought a bus ticket. He said he didn't want to because if he did, he would be forced to run patrol and he was liking his new found freedom.
So, I bought myself a bus ticket and made the 8 hour of trip, on a bus. I was exhausted and my butt hurt by the time I got home. Charlie picked me up from the bus stop.
"How are you doing?" He asked. I shrugged. I was keeping my grades up which I was thankful for. I didn't want them to start slipping this early in the semester. "Are you gonna go see Jake?"
"Probably. See if he wants to talk. Work things out." I answered. I was hoping that he would want to talk. I wasn't sure if he would kick me out.
"Just eat something first and then you can go." He commented. "Maybe you should call over there first and see if he's even home." I shrugged.
"What if I call and then he leaves because he doesn't want to talk to me?" I had tried to call him a few times since we broke up and he would either answer and have simple small talk or he would answer and then right away hang up so I couldn't even leave a voicemail.
"I guess you have a point." He said as he pulled up outside the house and quickly got out to grab my bag. I went inside and got myself something to eat. I really didn't want to eat but forced it down so Charlie wouldn't think that I was neglecting myself. I quickly ate before grabbing the keys to my truck off the hook. "Be safe." He called after me as I left. I drove over to Jakes. His car was parked outside the garage so there was a chance he was here. Unless he was out with the pack. I parked the truck before getting out and quickly heading up the steps before the rain could start. I knocked and waited. I could see Billy through the window as he came to the door.
"Hello, Bella." He greeted me.
"Hi, Billy." I gave him a small smile. "Is he here?" I asked softly. He seemed to hesitate before giving me an answer. "I just wanna talk to him." I confirmed.
"He's in his room." He answered moving away from the door so I could come inside and move own the hall. I knocked on Jake's door hoping that he wouldn't get mad that I came here without calling.
"Yeah?" I heard him call from the other side.
"Um. It's Bella. Can I come in?" I hadn't prepared myself to see his room. That was the first place we ever had sex and I wasn't sure how it was going to affect me when I saw it. The door swung open before I could prepare myself any further. He stood in the doorway blocking my view to his bedroom. He moved towards me, making me step back and he closed the door behind him. I looked at him, he looked almost angry but I couldn't place the look on his face.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. It made me nervous and I started playing with my fingers. "Well?"
"I just figured we could talk."
"You could have called." He answered moving around the kitchen. I watched him but kept my distance. It was difficult standing here looking at him.
