I waited outside with Jacob and Bella's friend Mike, apparently the rest bailed.
'So Face Punch?' Jake asked trying to make conversation with the blond guy eyeing me up. 'You like action movies?' Jake asked honestly curious. I suppressed a laugh as I watched Jacob glare at Mike. He seemed to be sizing him up and Mike the weakling he was couldn't meet his gaze for more than a few seconds at a time, preferring to look anywhere but Jacob. Sadly that included me...
'Not really'
'I heard it sucks...Bad!' I quipped. Jacob laughed. I blushed when his gaze washed over my face.
'So are you two even old enough to see this movie? I mean without adult supervision? ' Mike or Jackass as I like to call him asked. He was really starting to annoy me...
'Oh right yeah, well she's buying my ticket for me.' Mike's eyebrows went up a few inches.
'And you?' I smiled mischievously with a playful look in my eye.
'The guy sellin' them didn't need much persuasion.' I chuckled, especially when Mike's jaw dropped and hit the floor. 'Only messin' boy, Bella's payin for me too.' I said letting my north Cork accent flow. Bella walked over looking slightly disappointed.
'Jessica bailed and Angela got the stomach flu so Eric's looking after her.' She said watching for the two guys reactions. I mean you could cut the tension with a knife it was so thick. 'It's just us four.'
'Cool.' I said as Jake said 'Right.' We all turned to look at Mike.
'Great, yeah.' Was he nervous? With a click of Bella's tongue we headed inside. I was on Jacob's left while poor Bella was stuck in between the two.
Halfway through the movie I was laughing my head off as three of the idiot actors all killed each other off. Jacob looked over at me.
'I take it you like the film?' he asked with an easy smirk and a flirty eyebrow raised with his head lolled to the side so the he was sorta looking sideways at me. I could feel my stomach knot on itself as he watched my intently.
'I've seen better, besides I find it hilarious at how bad the acting is and then how they all kill each other, I mean come on Tony so could've lived through that if he'd just shot your one at the very start but no he had to say his freaking line only to end up stabbed in the back, literally!' I exclaimed. A few people went 'SHUSSH!' I just stuck my tongue out at them. Jake chuckled. Next thing Mike raced off at ninety out the door
'Awh it was just at the best part!' I whined. Bella and Jake laughed at my childish act. As we left the screen we could see Mike's back disappear behind the bathroom door. Jacob got this massive shit eating grin on his face.
'What a marshmallow.' Bella and I couldn't help but laugh. I could feel my heart drop when I saw how Jake he was completely focused on Bella. 'You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit.' Completely focused, you'd swear I wasn't even there!
'Yeah I'll keep my eye open for that.' She said chuckling. 'I feel bad he may have that flu...' Her voice went down to a whisper when Jake grabbed her hand. I felt as if someone had just stabbed my heart and twisted the knife. 'That's going around.' Bells mumbled as she let go of it.
'What I can't hold your hand?' Jake asked as he towered above Bella.
'Of course you can... I just think it means something a little different to you.' I could see Jacob's shoulders tense. I could actually see the hope shining off of him.
'You like me right?' Bella's head bobbed up and down in agreement. 'And you think I'm sorta beautiful?' I watched his cheeks rise up in a smirk. Bella's eye went like oh-shit kinda look.
'Why?' I rolled my eyes at the boy. Could he not take a hint? She doesn't like him that way; a blind man could see that! I stood up and sat on the steps just below Bella, Jake leaned against the railing.
'Cause your about to ruin everything.' Ouch! Harsh Bella. 'And I need you. Both of you' She looked up at him in hope.
'Well I've got loads of time. I'm not going to give up.' My heart broke with every word he said to her in adoration.
'I don't want you to. It's just 'cause I don't want you to go anywhere. I know it's selfish but I'm not a car you can fix up, I'm never going to run right. That's why I'm afraid' I hopped up onto the step onto Bella and pulled her into a hug.
'You'll always have us Bells, nothings gonna change that, I swear it.' I whispered. Jake sat at the other side of her.
'It's because of him, isn't it? I know what he did to you, but Bella I would never ever do that. I won't hurt you, either of you, I promise. I won't let you down.' Jake smiled at her. Bells let her head flop onto his shoulder.
'Well.' A loud voice broke us out of our moment. 'I need to go home.' Bella picked up her coat. Jake gave him this look like and what?
'I was feeling sick before the movie.' He explained. Both Jake and I scoffed at his stupid reason. 'What is your problem?' Ah, blonde's got a temper.
'Right now? You. Felling sick? Maybe you should go to the hospital.' Where the hell did this come from? 'You want me to put you in the hospital?' Jake asked slamming his hand on the stair and sanding in front of Mike.
'Jake, what are doing the movies over?' Bella asked still on her perch. I (for some stupid reason stood in front of Jake.
'Whoa, whoa Jake, look at me.' I commanded. He ripped his face from my hands and started after Mike again. 'Jake, look at me.' He finally did, breathing hard in his anger. Shit his eyes where yellow. 'Come on let's get home.' I said dragging him out. 'Sorry Bella, he's running a temperature!'
'What's happening to me?' He asked as we were out of earshot. His eyes were brimmed with tears of pain. I did what I could think of. As we reached my car, I pulled him into a hug.
'Shhh, Jake you're gonna be fine.' He broke down into tears. Out of the blue, Jared and Paul had grabbed him and dragged him into the forestry. 'Hey, let him go!' As I ran after them someone grabbed me. 'Let go! Let go!' I screamed at whoever held me. Kicking and punching at them. I watched as they dragged Jake away.
