Time Heals All

002

The next morning Lucy woke up to people talking and laughing downstairs and Jacob gone. The smell of bacon filling her nose making her mouth water as she put on a pair of sweatpants, forgetting how cold it was in the mornings. As she made her way downstairs she noticed who she heard from upstairs, it was Jacob and her dad and they were laughing about something she hadn't heard.

"Morning." Charlie smiled taking a bite of his egg as she sat down at the table.

"Good morning." She mumbled still half asleep as Jacob put a plate down in front of her. "Thanks."

"So what's the plan for the day?" Charlie asked as Jacob finally sat down to eat with them.

"I thought I would take her back home to visit with dad."

"Sounds like a plan." Charlie smiled at Jacob, thankful that she still had a friend here that she could turn too. After she moved to Phoenix all of her friends from school just turned their back on her, making her feel like absolute crap for moving. She called Charlie a lot during that time and she cried a lot too, she wanted her dad and all she could do was call him when she really needed him there. Charlie hated that part of her life and he did everything he could to try and help while thousands of miles away. "I'm gonna be late at the station tonight but we can grab a bite at the dinner tomorrow night. You and your dad could come too Jake, make it a "welcome home" dinner"

"That sounds great dad. Really. As long as Edward doesn't come I'm fine." Charlie chuckled and shook his head.

"You have to get along, for Bella's sake." She only rolled her eyes and continued eating her breakfast, Jacob smiling at her as did Charlie. "Plus her birthday is tonight, the Cullen's invited you to go to the small little party Alice is planning."

"Do I really have too?" She whined. "I had plans to hang out with Jacob." Charlie shook his head.

"Yes, you have too. The Cullen's can't wait to meet you, plus Bella won't shut up about it." Groaning she stabbed at her eggs, grumbling incoherent sentences under her breath. "It's just one night if you don't like them it's no skin off my back and I won't make you go over there again. Okay?" She nodded and sighed heavily giving in.

"Oh alright. But I'm only doing this because you asked me too." She pointed her fork at her father, both him and Jake smiling lightly at her as they all continued to eat.

After a quick shower, Lucy changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a striped long sleeve shirt to keep warm and her trusty black chucks, quickly packing a bag of regular clothes and a nice outfit for Bella's party later tonight. (Outfit pictured above) Jacob was ready to get moving now that Edward has shown his face, both of them staring at each other as they stood on either side of the steps.

"Lucy lets go!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." She yelled back as she ran down the small hallway and down the steps, Jacob taking her hand instantly and pulling her away from Edward before he could even speak. "What was that all about?" She questioned as soon as they shut the front door.

"Nothing." Jacob huffed and she decided to drop it, clearly, she wasn't the only one who had a distaste for Edward. After leaving, Lucy driving them over as Jacob had only his permit, for the time being, Jacob told her about Embry, Jared and Paul joining some kind of gang with Sam Uley.

"You can't be serious Jay, there's no way it's a gang." She shook her head in disbelief.

"I'm serious Lulu, they follow every single order he gives like a damn puppy."

"I don't think it's really what you say it is. I mean Embry, really? Of all people to join a gang do you really think Embry would be one of them?" She tried to reason, but his mind seemed to be set on it. "I mean Paul, maybe," she shrugged. "He's always been a hothead but definitely not Jared nor Embry."
