Love in La Push

Bella

Hi. I'm sorry.

Please don't hate us.

Here you go

Bella's P.O.V

I watched my brother closely, where he sat across me at the table. This was the first time all day he had actually been in my presence longer than 10 minutes. He was eating his pasta happily caught up in his own thoughts. I stared at him, calculating what could be going on in his head. For the first time in a long while, I couldn't read him like I normally do. He stopped chewing momentarily and met my eyes.

" 'at?!" he asked confused mouth full. I shaked my head slightly and looked back down at my plate. "Nothing" I answered picking up a bit of pasta on my fork, and putting it in my mouth. I met his stare again, and we watched each other for another minute until he shrugged and went back to eating. Dad rolled in from his "night out" with the sheriff, which really meant that they drank beer and watched football.

"Hey kids" he said, taking a glas from the sink and filling it with water before drinking. He sighed happily, before turning to us again. "How was school?" He asked smiling. "Good" I answered picking up more pasta. "Except that Jake avoided me all of our classes" I continued, giving Jake a dirty look, when I remembered todays earlier events. Jake looked down sheepishly before sending me an apologetic look.

"Sorry, I...was a bit busy." Dad shrugged and went into his bedroom, while Jake looked down on his food again. I frowned and gave Jake a strange look. "With what?" I asked not taking my eyes of his now slightly uncomfortable form. "Eh....." He didn't meet my eyes and then quickly got out;

"I'm finished, I'm gonna be out for awhile. Bye!" and he was gone out the door before I even could blink. I stared at the empty doorway mouth open for a second, before jumping up and running to the open door, looking out.

"Jake!!!!" I called out, but he didn't listen, as he kept running, finally disappearing among the trees. I sighed and closed the door, leaning against it. 'What is he doing?'. I sighed again biting my lip. He's always going away after dinner. This had been going on for a couple of weeks now.

My eyes widened as a thought hit me. Did he get a girlfriend? I felt the heat rise on my cheeks as I contemplated the idea. It does make sense if he had. It would explain the disappearances, the awkward silences, and the secrets. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed certain.

I put my hands over my mouth, concealing the excited squeal leaving my lips. Oh my god! I was so happy for my baby brother! I jumped around a bit before settling down and thinking it over. I wanna met this girl. She's probably nice and all, but still.

A smile spread across my lips as my plan came to existence.

Bellas P.O.V

The next day was Saturday, and I woke up early, trying to stop my excitement from showing. Today I actually hoped that Jake would sneak off, so I could follow him to see his mystery girl! As I walked into the kitchen I went to the fridge to get my cereal. I sat down and started eating. The sound of a door closing got me to look up from my breakfast as Jake came in yawning. He scratched his bare chest and opened the fridge taking out a packet of milk.

"Good morning" I said, when he didn't make a move in acknowledging me. Jake looked at me, and grunted before starting to drink from the packet. I wrinkled my nose and voiced my distaste when he sat down the now empty milk packet.

"That's disgusting" I said pointing my spoon at him. He met my stare and burped before grinning shamelessly. I shook my head and looked down at my bowl again as Jacob sat down.
