A new chapter, finally. And i know it sucks. I am sorry. But, i promise to make the next one awesome.
I walked home instead of running. It took longer than I expected. The constant sound of the wind blowing against tree branches kept me company, pleasantly.
Rain began to fall, at first in little droplets that made the tiniest noise. Soon, it grew into larger, noisier, and painful drops. I was drenched in a matter of minutes. My jeans clung to my leg and the white shirt I had mindlessly chosen to wear clung to my body. The cloth was thinned out revealing the wet skin behind it. I didn't mind.
The smile I had after I left Jacob was still there and was seemingly irremovable. Why did he have such an effect on me? I'd only just met him. He's a werewolf. I'm a vampire. There's a very clear line right down the middle separating the two. The halves that can never meet, and yet…It's almost as if I was meant to be with him.
No. This isn't right.
I'm just delirious from being cooped up in my room for so long. I don't like Jacob Black. There is no way of that ever happening.
Home sweet home.
I swung the door open. The frost from the outside burst into the Cullen house, filling the living room with a chilly air. The Cullens' turned their heads and wrinkled their noses. It also filled the room with my scent, which currently smelt like Jacob. Oh well.
"What?" I asked.
"You smell like a mutt," Edward answered.
Now you talk to me? I bit my tongue. That wasn't the right thing to say. Look, I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for.
Yes there is. I didn't mean it when I said what I said. I was just upset because…
Because what?
I can't tell you right now. Just be nice to Bella, okay?
Sure but-
Thanks Edward.
"Becca! Edward! Stop having conversations in your head! We haven't seen Becca in how long and we want to talk to her."
I smiled. That was Alice for you. "We should through a party. Just like a welcome back out of your room party."
"Alice," I whined. "Please don't!"
"Fine," she huffed. "If you don't want me to be happy."
"Oh no, not that Alice. That's not gonna get to me!" I screamed in frustration as I stared at the pout on her lips, "Fine!"
"Yay!" She rushed over and enveloped me in what would have been a bone-crushing hug for a human. She pulled away. Her wrinkled nose looking misplaced on such a perfect face.
"You smell like Jacob, Becca."
My face scrunched up. I was hoping she wouldn't mention exactly whom I smelt like in front of Bella.
"Jacob…?"
I turned to Bella and nodded my head. "Yeah, I met him. At the line."
"Can you go shower or something," Emmett asked. "You smell really bad."
"Don't make me wipe that goofy grin off your face," I smiled.
"SHE'S BACK!"
"Eh, bye. Talk to you later, Bella!" I ran from the now excited Emmett up the stairs and to my room. I locked the door behind me.
After an hour-long shower, I finally got the scent of werewolf off. Surprisingly the smell didn't bother me as much as it did the others. Honestly, I found it to be just another smell. I'm not saying that it smelt like flowers or anything, but I'm not saying that it smelt like a dead body either.
Curiosity struck me hard while I was drying my hair. Bella knew Jacob. Bella knew the Cullens'. Jacob was a werewolf and the Cullens' were vampires. Those are definitely two things that don't go together… right?
Okay, I really wanted to know everything they did about Jacob Black. Who to ask?
With my hair still dripping with water I left my room. Every one was still in the living room and still in the circle they were in when I got home.
They stopped to stare at me as I walked in.
"Woah, what?"
"We just wanted to know why you were with Jacob," Carlisle asked. He must have gotten there while I was in the shower.
"We bumped into each other at the line."
"Is that it?"
"Yup, that's it."
Although I was burning to find out more about Jacob, I kept quiet. I didn't want to make a scene. I just came out of my room and I didn't want to trigger something that would make me want to go back.
A few minutes after I sat down, I felt Bella wrap her arms around me. "I'm sorry."
I shook my head. I had never thought that she would blame herself. "It's not your fault Bella. Trust me. I overreacted." The others stared at us, not understanding fully what was going on.
I wondered how she had found out that I was upset because of what she had thought. I wondered if that was even why she was sorry. There was a way to find out, but I wasn't going to do that again. I would not be pulled into the same trick as last time.
Everyone sat and chatted about random things for a while. Most of the time I sat in silence, thinking about Jacob. I tried to make sure Edward couldn't read my mind, but I wasn't sure if he could. If he could, he wasn't showing any signs of it.
"So what I was thinking, was that we could have this huge party," Alice rambled.
"Alice," Bella whined. "Why?"
As the two continued to talk, I stared at the walls. The house was beautiful. The walls were still in tact, no paint chippings, the chairs brand new, and the piano adding a nice look to the room. As Jacob crossed my mind again, I smiled.
"What are you smiling about?"
I looked up. Emmett had asked the question, but all the Cullens' were staring at me. "Ha-ha. Nothing."
From their stares it was easy to tell that they didn't believe me. And of course, focusing my energy on convincing them I wasn't lying; I failed to block my mind from Edward.
"Becca!?"
"Huh?" I asked Edward, as I turned to face him. Suddenly I blushed. He had read my mind. And knew for the most part that I was thinking about Jacob.
"Don't say anything, Edward. I'll shut you up, if you do."
"What is it," Jasper asked.
"Nothing, Jasper. It's nothing, right Edward?" I threw the most menacing glance I could muster to him. He was not about to say a word. Now that I was a vampire I could easily match him in his strength and speed.
