Y/n's POV

The day after my birthday dad was heading out fishing with Harry Clearwater. Waking up that morning shocked me as I was unaware of the man's visit. I ran excitedly down the stares and latched onto the man.

"Harry!" I exclaimed into the hug.

"Hey N/n. How are you doing?" He asked as we pulled away. He turned back to the table to finish helping my dad pack for their trip.

"Alright." I replied shortly as I sat in the spare chair and watched the two.

"I see you and Seth both dyed your hair then." He comments glancing up briefly before packing the box of spar strings into his bag.

"Oh yeah, what do you think? Personally I think I look amazing." I joked doing a hair flip earning a chuckle from the two men.

"Seth said the same thing last night. His mothers face was priceless." Harry said.

"See it wouldn't be a surprise if someone isn't shocked half to death." Another chorus of laughs broke between us before Bella entered.

She's been down the last few days, blaming herself for what happened at the cinema with Jacob. I could hear here through the floorboards of my room calling Jacob a number of times the past week and leaving voicemails.

I got up from my seat and walked to stand next to her. Neither of us exchanged any words and chose to just stand looking out the window till dad and Harry left.

"Hey." Dad said with a sigh, getting both of our attention. "Look, I don't have to go fishing today."

"Yes, you do." Harry said from behind him, making me let out a little laugh.

"Yeah, you do. Go. What are you talking about?" Bella said agreeing with Harry but also doing this so that dad would leave and she could be alone.

Well it's not like I was going anywhere but it's not like we were going to hang out or anything. We'd be in the same house but different rooms minding our own business and pretending we don't exist.

"Just be careful." I then said to dad, Bella nodding along with me.

"Always am." Dad replied with a nod before reluctantly leaving patting my shoulder as he passed. I knew he was asking me to watch over her with that gesture and I gave a subtle nod when dad glanced back before grabbing his stuff.

"Those bears won't get the drop on me, Bella, Y/n." Harry said jokingly and reassuringly to us. "My Kung Fu is strong."

Bella let a small smile grace her lips and I let out a low chuckle. Harry and dad left the house and it was just the two of us. Five seconds later I was turning to walk over to one the sofas when Bella's hand caught mine and she was tugging me out the house into the rain and to the pick up truck.

"Uh Bella? What are you doing? It's raining cats and dogs out here." I commented as she shoved me in the truck then came around the drivers side.

"Jacob." Was all she said. I nodded and chose to remain silent due to the concentrated angered look on Bella's face.

The rain didn't let up the entire drive there and only got stronger and heavier during the long hours drive.

When we pulled up to the familiar house we saw and all too familiar figure out walking in the rain with no shirt and a pair of shorts. "Wait...did Billy say he had Mono?"

Bella did reply to my question instead quickly pulled the car into park and jumped out. I hurriedly did the same and followed her though I remained behind a bit not wanting to come between the two.
