A Jacob Black Love Story

Run Like Forest Gump

"No way, Tessa. Hell no!"
Bella crosses her arms and looks away from my pleading puppy dog eyes.
After a couple weeks of dating Jacob, I couldn't help but realize how he isn't really buddy buddy with Edward. And I want to change that.
"Why not?" I whine, dangling a set of stolen keys in front of her face. "We can lock them in the janitors closet and keep them there until they become besties."
As soon as I say that, she smiles widely at me.
"Fine."
I squeal. "Really?"
"No!"
I frown. "But Edward and Jacob are always calling each other names. It drives me crazy."
Bella sighs. "Listen, it gets on my nerves, too, but it's not like we can force them to sort out their differences."
I give her a deadpan look. "We actually can." I dangle the keys in her face again, giggling when  she swats my hand away. "We just have to lie to them. Easy as pie."
"It's not that easy," Bella protests.
I roll my eyes. "Right and I'm Ariana Grande."
The bell rings and I follow Bella as we make our way to my locker.
"Come on, Bells," I whine when it's obvious she isn't going to be giving in any time soon. "Pretty please?"
"Fine," she mutters, sighing in defeat. 
"Seriously?" I squeal and when she nods I start jumping up and down. "I love you so much right now!"
"You won't love me when I pull out your vocal cords," she snaps. "Stop screaming so loudly. People are staring."
"Sorry." I smile sheepishly.
We hide out in the bathroom, talking about emojis. Then, when we're sure that everyone is in class, we head to our destination.
"Okay, Jacob has World History right now, so he's probably dying to get the fuck out of there." I whip out my phone. "You ready?"
She nods as I quickly send a text to Jacob.
Meet me outside the janitors closet
     XOXO, Kitty =)
"How do I look?" I ask, throwing my hair up in a ponytail.
"You look hot!" Bella grins, giving me two thumbs up.
Before I can thank her, we hear footsteps. Bella shoots me a panicked look.
"Hide!" I hiss and she bolts around the corner just as Jacob comes over to me.
"So, Tessa," he drawls, playing with one of my curls. "What did you want to tell me?"
I smile. "Close your eyes."
He gives me a confused look, but does so, and I quickly unlock the door.
"I want you run on the count of three," I whisper in his ear. He nods and I move to hold the door open for him.
"One."
"But why can't I open my eyes, Tessa? I don't-"
"Two."
"Tessa-"
"Three."
When he doesn't budge, I purse my lips. "If you obey, I'll come back with a condom," I lie, biting my lip to hold back laughter as he runs into the janitors closet. Thank god Ava said that she doesn't like being in my head on a school day. She said all she does when I'm at school is sleep.
"See ya, wouldn't be ya," I whisper, slamming the door shut and locking it.
  Bella comes out of her hiding place, giggling. "That was epic. What did you promise him, though? I didn't really catch that."
"I promised him a condom," I say all in one breath.
She holds up a hand and splutters. "A condom? Seriously? You got his hopes up for nothing? You're evil!"
I roll my eyes. "If you don't shut up and text Edward, I'll pull out your vocal cords," I threaten.
She throws her head back and laughs. "What if Jake's getting naked right now because you led him on?"
My jaw drops. "I never thought about that. Fuck."
"We really should've thought this true."
I groan. "I know."
Bella smiles and shakes her head, pulling out her phone. "Okay, now you need to hide."
I nod and dart behind the corner. Two minutes later, Edward rushes down the hall.
"What's wrong, Bella?" He asks anxiously.
"Promise me you won't get mad at me no matter what I do," she says, giving him Bambi eyes.
He frowns. "As if I could ever get mad at you." He grabs her hand. "Are you okay?"
Sighing, she nods and unlocks the door, looking at me.
You push him in, she mouths.
I grin and at full speed, charge into Edward, shoving him into the closet. Bella quickly slams the door shut, locking it with shaky hands. Just as I'm about to high five her, the light is switched on in the janitors closet.
"Ow! Tessa, why'd you push me? What the fu-" There are a series of crashes and swear words and Edward starts going crazy with colorful profanities. "WHAT THE FUCK JACOB PUT THAT SHIT AWAY. NO I'M NOT GONNA HUG YOU! PUT IT AWAY! I SAID PUT IT AWAY!"
A girlish scream comes from Edward before there's a series of grunts and crashes.
"NO IM NOT GONNA FIGHT YOU. YOU'RE A SMELLY DOG. GET OFF OF ME OR I WILL KICK YOU ALL THE WAY TO CANADA!"
"TESSA MORGAN."
  Jacob and Edward yell my name at the same. I shoot Bella an uncertain grimace, nearly jumping out of my skin when Edward's face appears in the small window.
"YOU!" He points at me and I smile nervously and wave at him. "Why the hell would you lock me in a room with this dog? He's bloody fucking naked! I'm so gonna kill you when I get out of here, Tessa!"
I laugh and dangle the keys in front of his face, but that only makes him even more pissed off. Groaning, he turns around and swears at Jacob to get dressed faster, giving me a perfect opportunity to stick a post-it note on the window. Bella reads it and splutters when Edward's jaw drops.
If you boys don't become besties, I'll make sure your life is a living hell so you better kiss and make up

"Tessa, why would you threaten them?" Bella cries, breaking down into guffaws.
I giggle. "To scare them."
Soon, we're both laughing hard. My laughing dies down when Edward slides a finger across his neck and then points at me. I shudder.
"We should pack our bags and fly to Mars," I whisper to Bella when Jacob's head pops into view. "They're probably planning on tearing us apart limb by limb."
Brown eyes land on me, livid with fury, but I just stick out my tongue. Suddenly Jacob is roughly shoved to the side and Edward's head appears again. Bella and I try to keep a straight face when he shouts threats at us.
First, he threatened to pull off Bella's vagina and feed it to lions. Then, he threatened to chop my boobs off. I just continue to dangle the keys  in his face, which makes him ten times madder than he already is. Soon both guys are angry, and after about an hour of crazy threats, they realize that we aren't planning on letting them out anytime soon. Edward even tries to sweet talk Bella and she nearly falls for his charm until I smack her on the back of the head and drag her away from the door.
"What if they kill each other in there?" she asks and I roll my eyes.
"They won't. If they want to kill us first, they're gonna need to work together."
She laughs. "If we die, I just want to thank you for being my friend."
I playfully nudge my shoulder against hers. "I should be the one thanking you. You helped me on first day here. That means a lot to me."
She smiles sheepishly at me. "No problem."
After an hour of chattering about how cute Shawn Mendes is, I slip out my iPod and hand Bella an earbud before we close our eyes and listen to the song Starboy by The Weeknd and Daft Punk.
House so empty, need a centerpiece
Twenty racks a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking 'bout me, I don't see a shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
I switch up my cup, I kill any pain
About two hours later, the boys stop fighting.
"You really love him, don't you?" Bella breaks the silence and glances at me.
I nod slowly as she hands back my earbud and I stuff my iPod in my bag.
"I know you really love Edward," I murmur.
She smiles. "Duh."
I roll my eyes and am about to come up with some smart ass retort when suddenly my cell phone blasts the song Can't Keep My Hands to Myself at the same time Bella's phone blasts Thrift Shop. She raises her eyebrows at my ringtone, but I just shake my head. The joys of letting your boyfriend choose his own ringtone, right?
"Yes, Edward?" She raises her phone to her ear, wincing when a series of curses comes from him. "Oh, you hate me? I love me, too. . .uh huh. . .why is Jake grumbling about biting Tessa's head off? Well tell him to stop being such a wuss. . .why would she want to pick up her phone when Jacob is probably going to yell at her?"
I sigh and glance down at my phone, knowing that if I don't pick up, Puppy is probably going to hurt Kitty ten times worse than he's already planning.
"You. Will. Be. Without. A. Head. When. I. Get. Out."
I giggle at Jacob's meaningless threat.
"Yeah, whatever. Are you guys done fighting?"
"Are you ready to be headless?"
I bite back a laugh. "I think you have a head fetish, Jake. Now calm your tits and tell me if you guys made up."
Jacob grunts a yes, and I hold my hand out for Bella. She gives me triumphant high five, scrambles to her feet, and twirls around like a ballerina. I stand up, dissolving into giggles.
"I wonder if you guys kissed," I muse to Jacob.
"Do you want me to chop off your boobs or hair?" Edward growls into the phone.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to keep my best features, thank you very much." I hum a chirpy tune. "And you never answered my question, so I'll just assume that you guys did-"
"Tessa?"
"Yes, Edward?" I sing happily.
"Boobs or hair?"
  I guffaw loudly, ending the call.
"You're gonna slide the keys under the door and then we'll run, okay?" Bella voices the plan.
I nod. "Aye, aye, captain."
Grabbing our bags, she stands behind me as I kick the keys, watching them vanish under the door. The sound of the door clicking open makes us both dash towards the exit doors.
Just as I'm about to help Bella out by grabbing her hand-I'm a faster runner than she is-a black haired figure swoops over us and kidnaps my friend. I squeal in surprise and spin around, shocked to see Bella being thrown over Jacob's shoulder.
"Save yourself!" she screeches. "Run like Forest Gump, and don't stop, Tessa!"
I sprint down the hallway, trying not to have a panic attack. I'm gonna be chased by a vampire! A fudging vampire!
I turn around just as Edward staggers out of the janitors closet. I stop breathing when golden eyes lock onto mine, scary and dangerous. It all happens too fast when I blink.
He charges at me quickly, faster than lightning. And all I can do is stand there pathetically like a statue. When I snap out of my daze, it's too late.
Edward lunges for me and I let out a blood-curdling scream.
