A Jacob Black Story (unfinished) - Anoymous (e book reader online TXT) 📗

ONE
Knowing that I had to go out that day really put a downer on my emotions. The heavy rain pounded the roof of our house, it interrupted me watching T.V. Even though I wasn’t really watching the T.V, I didn’t really want to go out.
“Beth, get up. Help me today, please,” my mum shouted from downstairs.
I groaned and rolled off my bed. I turned my T.V off and threw on my torn up converses. I grabbed a jumper out from my wardrobe and put it on while walking downstairs.
“Shall we go see dad at the station after we’ve finished?” my mum asked.
“Ohh, how fun. Then maybe we could go make daisy chains” I said sarcastically. My mum just looked at me and carried on filling her purse. I grabbed my iPod from the dining room table.
I walked out of my house. At least it wasn’t raining anymore. I turned my iPod on to All Time Low and turned the volume up. It’s not like I was being anti-social, I just love listening to music, especially All Time Low.
We had to go shopping that day, not a little shop, a big shop. We went out of Forks to go shopping since our town was so small, it didn’t even have a decent grocery store. But more time in the car meant more time listening to music.
We pulled into the parking lot and it started to rain again. I wish I had brought an umbrella. To be even more anti-social I decided to take my iPod in with me instead of leaving it in the car.
We spent at least 2 hours in the supermarket; my mum spent 10 minutes picking out washing up liquid. She’s such a time waster.
We eventually got to the check out and paid and I helped her unload the trolley and put the shopping into the car. Most of the food got wet but she didn’t care so much; she just wanted to get inside.
We drove to the police station where my dad worked. It was still raining when we got to the half-empty car park. I still kept my iPod in. We ran to the front door and walked in.
“Hello Karen, Beth” Officer Sam greeted. My mum said ‘hi’ back and I smiled.
My mum nudged me. “Beth, stop being grumpy and be polite’ I just sighed at her. We walked into the big office room and we started to walk over to my dad’s desk. I was expecting to see just him but he was accompanied by a man in a wheelchair and a very tall man. I didn’t see their faces but the tall man was at least over 6 foot tall. He had long dark hair which covered the shoulders of his dark blue checkered shirt.
“Hello Andrew” my mum smiled. “Hello Billy, Jacob”
Jacob was the man’s name. He didn’t really look like a man; I’m guessing he was about 19. He had russet skin, tall, bulky stature, dark brown eyes and a really big, white smile. His skin looked so smooth; I just wanted to touch it. I took out my iPod to listen to his voice.
“Hello Karen, and Beth I haven’t seen you since you were 11” Billy smiled. He had the same smile as Jacob but not the same smooth skin; I guessed that he was Jacob’s dad.
I just smiled; I honestly couldn’t remember Billy, but I slightly remember Jacob, but he was smaller in my mind.
“You can’t remember?” he smiled. I smiled awkwardly and shook my head. I looked up at Jacob and he smiled at me. My dad, my mum and Billy went over to the coffee machine and made themselves coffee and were talking to each other. Jacob and I were left alone. We both awkwardly smiled at each other.
“So, do you remember me?” Jacob asked, he looked hopeful.
“Um, kinda. We used to play together when we were young, didn’t we?” I wanted so bad to remember but I just kept drawing a blank.
“Yeah, I remember we went to the beach one time and we made sandcastles together” he smiled. His smile was so dazzling, I couldn’t help but smile.
Then it suddenly clicked. “Oh yeah, that was probably the hottest day ever in Forks” I laughed at the memory, he laughed too. His laugh was so cute and funny, it made me smile more.
“So, you don’t go to Forks High…” I asked. I wanted him to now.
“No, I go to school on the reservation” he smiled. What a shame, I was starting to like him now.
There was a silence for a minute and I wanted my parents to come back over to start talking to us but I liked being with Jacob.
“Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but what’s your last name?” I asked. I felt myself going red.
“It’s Black, and what’s yours” he asked, with a bigger smile.
“Riley” I smiled. He was so charming.
My parents and Billy came back over and Billy started talking to me. “So are you coming to our dinner tonight?”
I just looked at my mum and dad and he started talking. “It’s just a get together, we’re going, you don’t have to come”
I looked back at Billy and saw Jacob’s nervous face out of the corner of my eye, “Yeah, sure” I smiled and I saw Jacob smile as well.
“Come on, Jake” Billy said and Jacob took hold of Billy’s wheelchair handles and started too walked out of the station.
“Beth, we’re going” my mum beckoned and I followed Jacob out of the station.
We got outside and my dad and Jacob helped Billy down the stairs. It was raining still and I stayed under the shelter until my mum got the car and drove it to the entrance so I didn’t get wet. I waved to Jacob as he drove past, he was still smiling.
I got into the car and my mum drove us home. As soon as we got home, I practically jumped out of the car and ran inside.
“Beth, help me with the un loading” my mum shouted at me.
I stopped at the stairs and went to the doorway. “I have to have a shower” I shouted back.
I ran upstairs and grabbed my towel from my room. I spent at least half an hour in the shower; washing my hair, shaving my legs and making sure I smelled nice. I got out of the shower and went back into my room. I switched on my iPod and started to get ready. I dried my hair and I curled some bits with my curling iron. I put on my nice, new clothes; a grey, long-sleeved under-top, a long, white cardigan, camel coloured high waist jeans and a pair of brown, brogues. I walked down stairs and turned on the T.V. My dad and my mum came walking down stairs.
“Oh, Beth, you look nice. You’re not trying to impress anyone are you?” she smiled.
“Shut up” I sighed. I turned off the T.V. We all got in the car and drove to Jacob’s house. I couldn’t wait to get to know Jacob. He seemed so nice, and his arms! I would like a hug from them any day. So he was about my age, about 6’3 I’m guessing, excited to be around me and is extremely good looking. All he needed was an amazing personality and it would be like I was living the dream.
We pulled into his busy drive and there were people outside his house and people inside. How many people were coming? I saw Jacob come out of his house to come over and greet us. He actually came over and opened the car door for me.
“Hey Beth” He smiled. I smiled as well because his smile was so contagious.
“Hi” I replied. I got out and shut the door behind me. “Jacob, I know this sounds weird, but can you not leave me tonight because I don’t know anyone apart from my parents but I don’t want to hang out with them”
He laughed, but not mockingly. “Don’t worry, I won’t” He walked me into his house which was small but then I realized only Jacob and his Dad lived there. I have to admit, there were loads of tall men there. I counted 9 people I didn’t know and they all looked at me when I walked in. I felt immediately awkward. But then Jacob put his hand around my waist and took me outside by the back door and onto the porch.
“So what are we having for dinner?” I asked. I hoped I didn’t sound like a pig.
“Ragu with pasta” he said. He then sat down on one of the deck chairs. He patted the seat next to him. I sat down and put my legs up. He spread his legs right out and they were huge.
“Um, Jake, how tall are you?” I asked. I had to ask because it was bugging me too much.
“Um, my best guess would be 6’5” he smiled. I just raised my eyebrows.
“That’s freaking tall” I laughed. He laughed as well.
“Well how tall are you?” he asked.
“Um, my best guess would be 5’2” I copied. No wonder why I getting a neck ache, I was tiny against Jake.
“That’s freaking small” he smiled. He was so cute; I just wanted to cuddle him.
“Guys, dinners ready” some called from by the door. We both got up and walked inside. There were 5 people sat on the sofa’s eating and 3 people in the floor. They took up all of the room. I went over to their stove to grab a plate.
“Would you like to go back outside and eat?” Jacob asked me. I nodded in reply. As we were walking out a boy who looked a bit younger than me followed us. He was tall like Jacob but not as tall as him and he was less bulky.
“Beth, this is Seth” Jacob introduced. I said hello to him and so did he. When we got outside Jacob and I went back to our original seats and Seth grabbed his own.
Seth and Jacob chattered lightly to each other while I eat silently and listened. They had stopped for a bit so I asked “Why are all of you guys so tall?”
“Good genes” Jacob replied and smiled. Seth smiled as well.
“What, are all of you related?” I asked. Why was it so funny?
“It’s … uh, nothing” He said. He looked up at Seth and he looked down at his plate. I obviously wasn’t welcome with the answer.
We had all finished our dinners and Seth kindly offered to take the plates in for us. He didn’t come back after that so Jacob moved his chair closer to mine. It then started to rain and I started shivering like mad. Why hadn’t I put on an extra layer?
“Would you like my jacket?” Jacob offered. He already started to unzip his jacket.
“Wouldn’t you be cold?” I asked. Bless him for offering but I wouldn’t want to be responsible for getting ill.
“I’ll be fine. I guess you could get closer so I wouldn’t get cold” he said whilst I put his jacket on. I just looked at him, confused by what he meant and he patted his lap. I smiled slightly.
“I don’t think so, I’m a bit too heavy” I sneered.
“No, come on” he said and grabbed my wrist. His
