Just a Little Mental

Secrets Out Part 2

          "What are you?" I let out a sigh knowing that I have to tell them. "If I tell you you, you can't tell anyone." I warn with a pleading look in my eyes. "We won't. Now tell us." Sam commands. "Honestly I don't know what I am. All I know is I have these powers and I've had them for as long as I can remember." "Can you control said powers?" "Yes I can control them pretty well unless my emotions get out of hand." I explain. "Will you be a threat?" "No." "Why didn't you tell me?" Jake asks looking disappointing. "How was I supposed to tell you. 'Oh hey by the way I have these freaky powers, how was your day?' I couldn't." I tell him. "What are your powers?" a girl asks scowling at me. "Leah..." "No it's alright. I can move things with my mind, make weapons, as well as make force-fields." "Wow! That is so cool!" A boy who looks no older than 15 says in awe. "Thank you." I say a smile on my face.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me about your powers." Jake huffs out walking beside me. "Well you didn't tell me that you were a wolf." I say successfully shutting him up. We walk in silence for a while when he brakes it. "I'm sorry." I look towards him confused. "For never writing or calling you when you were locked away from society." "It's fine. it sucked but now I'm back with you." I look up at him with a smile which he returns. "Best-friends?" "Always. Now turn around real quick." Doing as told Jake turns around with a look of confusion on his face. With a smirk I jump up onto his back and laugh. "What are you doing Ari?" He asks laughing. "I want a piggy back ride." "Alright then hold on." He says before running. I let out a squeal and hold onto his neck so I don't fall off. "Let's go back to your house. I want to see Billy." I yell. With a nod from him we make our way towards his house.

We walk up to his house well Jake walks I'm still on his back and Billy comes out. "Is that little Aria swan?" I hear someone ask. Squealing I jump off Jake's back and rush towards my favorite uncle. "Hi uncle Billy. Missed me?" I ask hugging him. "Of course I missed you. How are you? When did you get out?" Billy asks. "Dad..." "It's fine Jake. I am good and I got out about a week ago add a few days." I say. "Well glad your father told me." He mutters a scowl on his face. "How about we go inside, I made some steak and potatoes." Licking my lips I nod. "Let's go!" I yell running inside before them. "Still the same old Aria, always hungry." I hear before making my way to the kitchen. "It still looks the same." I whisper looking around the house I always came to. "Yeah, you should see your room. We never changed it." Jake says taking a seat at the table. "I remember always coming here for sleep overs." I say sitting next to him in the chair that has my name scratched in. "Remember how much trouble we got in when we did that?" Jake asks chuckling. "Yeah. But to be fair it was your sisters fault, they said that if my name wasn't on it they could take it." I reply laughing at the memory. "Yeah. Hey lets eat then we can go see your old room." He says. Smiling I grab two pieces of steak and a potato.

"I think it's official, you eat more than a wolf." Jake says as we walk down the hall. "Eh what can I say, I have the gift of eating." I joke. We stop at the plain white door. "Here it is. Want to go in?" Nodding I turn the nob and open the door revealing the room I always slept in when I visited. Slowly I take a few steps in and look around. "It really hasn't changed much." I say. Turning I see a smiling Jake standing at my door. "Come on lets get you home before Bella freaks." He says. "Actually I think I'll stay the night tonight. If that's okay with you?" I ask. "Of course. But call Bella first." He says before leaving. Grabbing my phone I call Bella. On the third ring she answers. "Ari! What's up?" "Are you with the Cullens?" I ask hearing video games int he back round. "Yeah. I'm spending the night, whats up?" "Oh yeah, I just wanted to tell you that I'm staying the night at Jake's" "Alright-" "What do you mean you're staying the night at Jake's?" Emmett's voice sounds. "Exactly what I said, I am staying with Jake and Billy tonight." I explain annoyed that he doesn't trust me. "No you're not, I will come and get you if I have to..." I hang up the phone cutting him off. 'boys'

That night I fell asleep only to be woken up by a storm. Hiding under the blankets I curl up into a ball. "Ari?" poking my head out I see a half asleep Jake. "Oh hi there, sorry if I woke you." I say jumping when more thunder rumbles. "Still afraid of storms huh?" He asks walking into the room. "Uh...yeah." chuckling he comes over and pushes me to the other side. "Scoot over." "What are you doing?" "What's it look like I'm going to protect you." He says slipping under the covers next to me. Cuddling up to him I smile. "Just like old times." "Yeah, just like old times." He whispers holding me to his chest. "Get some sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." He whispers kissing the top of my head. Knowing I'm safe I fall asleep.

"Awe well why don't you look at that, just like when they were kids." Stirring I let out a groan. "Shh not yet." Jake grumbles out cuddling up to me. "Come on it's 10 in the morning, ya'll need to get up. and eat." Once food is mentioned my eyes snap open. and I sit up making Jake's arms slip off of my waist. "What kid of food?" "Dad...you know that's her weakness." Jake groans out opening his eyes to glare at us. " Your favorite, chocolate chip pancakes with fruit on the side." "Yes. I'll be up in two." I say pulling my hair back. Looking over at Jake I smile. "Come on let's go eat, I know you're hungry." I say pushing him off the bed. "Ow seriously Ari." He groans out getting up off the floor. "Yep, let's go." I say running out of the room.

After breakfast Jake decides to drive me home. "Thank you for helping me last night." I say. "Eh it's what I'm here for, to be a teddy bear." "More like a teddy wolf." I say laughing at my joke. "You're such a weirdo." He says. "Oh hush you love me." I say sticking my tongue out at him. What ever helps you sleep at night." "Ouch hurtful." I say pretending to clutch my heart. "We're here. Out." "Alright alright I'm leaving. Bye Jakey!" "Bye Ari, see you later." After giving him a hug I get out of the rabbit and walk towards my house.

"Hi dad." "Hi Ari how was the sleep over?" "Ah just like old times." I say taking my jacket off and placing it on the couch. "Alright well why don't you go change, Bella will be home soon." Nodding, I make my way upstairs to my room. Opening my door I am greeted by...you guessed it Emmett. "Aria, why did you hang up?" "Because you were being unreasonable." I say walking to my closet and grabbing some clothes. "Do you know how worried I was?" "Probably very since you're in my room right now. Turn around. Doing as told he turns around. "Do you know what they are?" "Yes Emmett, but Jake is like my brother so I knew I was safe." I explain changing into some normal clothes. "Did you two sleep together?" He asks pained at the thought. "Yes but not that way. I was having a hard time sleeping because of the storm, so he slept in my bed." I explain. "Do you love him?" "Oh my gosh. Emmett look at me." Turning around Emmett looks at me a painful grimace on his face. "Now listen and listen good. The only feelings I have for Jake is those of brother and sister, nothing more nothing less so stop being a butt." I say kissing his cheek. "Well sorry, I was worried and you wouldn't answer my texts or calls." "If I promise to never ignore your texts or calls will you drop this?" "Yeah." "Alright then I promise now either stay and watch movies with me or leave." "I'll stay." "Good choice."
