Two Loves are Better than One

Chapter 4

Bella and I had both bundled up for our day in La Push, which I now know was a good call because it was freezing out before I got under all these blankets. Angela and Bella were both inside the van while I was bundled up on top of it with a book in my hand and a bag of Jolly Ranchers.

"I don't know if it's worth it anymore" Eric said as he was suiting up.

"We drove all the way out here" Jessica said "I'm at least paddling out"

"So I keep thinking Eric's going to ask me to the Prom" Angela sighed "And then he just doesn't"

"You should ask him" I offered

"Yeah, take control" Bella added "You're a strong independent woman"

"I am" She asked

"Yes" Bella said

"Of course" I added

"Hey, will you do me up?" Jessica asked Angela, turning around. As She was doing that Jacob and a couple of other guys came over.

"Bella, Lily" Jacob said

"Hey" I replied, remembering him from the morning of our first day of school.

"Hi, Jacob" Bella said "Guys, this is Jacob."

"Hey guys" he said, Angela and Jessica saying hi back, Jacob sat down next to Bella.

"What are you, like, stalking me?" She asked jokingly

"You're on my rez, remember" Jacob replied, laughing. "Are you surfing?"

"Definitely not" Bella said quickly

"You guys should keep Bella company. Her date bailed" Jessica said, I raised my eyebrows, why would she say that?

"What date?" Eric asked confused.

"She invited Edward"Jessica said.

"To be polite, That's it" Bella responded.

"I think it's nice she invited him" Angela said "nobody ever does"

"Yeah, 'cause Cullen's a freak" Mike rudely stated, I threw a handful of Jolly Ranchers at him

"Ow" he complained, I shrugged my shoulders.

"You got that right" One of Jacob's friends said.

"You guys know him?" Bella asked.

"The Cullens' don't come here" He said. Then after a while, Bella and Jacob went off on a walk along the beach, so I opened my book and continued to read. After reading for a couple of hours Bella and Jacob had come back and we decided to go home. Bella seemed to be thinking about something so I let her be.

I walked towards Bella's, wrapping a towel around my wet hair, to see if Bella was ready for school.

"Whatch-ya doing" I asked.

"Just looking up the Quileute legends" She responded absently.

"Ohhh....why?" I asked, plopping down on her bed. "Do you think it has something to do with the Cullens."

"Uh, yeah" she said, then she clicked on a link to a book and then to the bookstore it was being sold at.

"Hmm, that's all the way in Port Angeles" I said, "When are we gonna go?"

"We?" She asked.

"Yeah, dude, i'm in this with you, I want to know too" I replied

"Well, ok, but I don't know, we'll have to figure out a time." She said, she wrote down the address before we headed out to the truck.
