"So Jake you live on the reservation," I asked as I led him upstairs.
"Yup its just me and my dad right now my sisters away right now. I was suppose to come a bit earlier but I got distracted fixing some bikes."
"Bikes?"
"Motorcycles sorry I forget,"he said chuckling. I laughed as we made it to the top of the stairs.
"Hey you don't mind me asking a question do you?" He asked.
"Yeahh no worries go ahead,"I said nervously. He pointed at his cheek then at mine.
"So what happened there,"he said slightly touching my cheek. I slightly flinched noticing the sting was still there.
"We'll I know this sounds crazy but on my way here I swear I saw a huge dog or wolf cross the street and well I kinda burned my face with that stupid seatbelt," I responded hiding the small mark with my hair.
"Really thats WOW kinda crazy," he said. I brushed it off as he didn't believe me.
"Yeah well this is the upstairs pretty spacious. soooo Jake what will you show me in this marvelous town."
"Oh yeah let's start with stores,reservation,parks,downtown,and finally La-push beach,"he said excitedly.
I smiled at him as we headed towards the door. I quickly put my shoes on and walked towards Jake's truck. He opened the door for me and mouthed a quick thank you. "Wow what a gentlemen," I said smirking. "Of course of course I always am thats one thing you should know about me,"he responded with the same tone as mine.
TIME-SKIP ---HEADING BACK HOME:
"So I guess this is it," I said. "Yup if you ever need anything or just wanna call a friend I put my number in your phone,"he said smiling. "Thank you very much and I really do mean it thank you,"I said. I opened the car door but before I could step out I felt an arm grab me.
"Hey before you go I was wondering if you wanted to come to a bonfire we Quileute's have; Its tomorrow at 5,"he insisted. Before I could answer he quickly blurred out,"Well you can also you know catch up with Em and I can show you around the reservation; I mean if you ever wanna visit."
"Of course count me in and yes I will want to visit you,"I replied smiling at him.
I shut the door as I made my way to the front steps. He rolled the window down and yelled,"ILL SEND YOU THE ADDRESS!!!"
"YES THANK YOU,"I yelled back.
I laughed on my way inside.
I closed the door locking it while I waved good bye to jake from the window. Taking off my shoes I went upstairs as I placed my blanket on the bed. I laid there thinking on what's next for me. The realization hit me of being in this new town without my mom. I know I told Theo I would be okay but I really just wanted him here with me.
Tears formed in my eyes as they fell down my face. I couldn't stop the tears from coming as I buried my hands in my face. A few minutes passed as I heard tapping coming from the window. I thought I was going crazy until I walked up to the curtain opening it. I looked up only to lock eyes with the one and only Jacob Black. I opened the window as the cool air hit me. I saw him throw another pebble at me as I wiped my face.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING JACOB?"
"SORRY IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND WHICH WINDOW BELONGED TO YOU!" I laughed at his attempt to act cool. "SO WHAT THE REASON FOR THIS!" I yelled back.
"IM GIVING YOU YOUR DAILY DOSE OF JACOB BLACK!"He yelled back. Before I knew it he started doing this dumb dance. I wiped away my tears from earlier as I couldn't control my laughter. Jake laughed back as he finally stopped.
"WOW IM HONORED TO SEE THEE JAKE!"
"YOU MEAN THEE JACOB BLACK!"he corrected me. I grabbed the pebble he threw at me and attempted to throw it back at him as I slightly hit his forehead. "THAT WHAT YOU GET YOU DOOFUS!"
"OWW THAT HURT! WELL I GOTTA GO ILL SEE YOU SOON ARIA!" He yelled back. I laughed,"OF COURSE "BESTIE" ILL SEE YOU," I yelled back air quoting bestie. He waved bye as I closed the window shut.
What the hell am I gonna do with this guy. I thought to myself as I let out another laugh.
