Jacob's assurance put my mind at ease, though there was a nagging voice in my head but I threw it right at the back of my mind , presuming it as anxiety which rose because of my overthinking regarding the situation . And now that my heart was a little settled down , I had another thing to worry about - I was alone with Jacob , in his damn room .
I could vividly imagine a huge signboard hanging over Jacob's head that read " Please move with caution your virtue is at risk " in vibrant flashing colours.
Unfortunately , the signboard was a tad bit late .
" Well thanks for clearing it up " I said struggling to sit up straight as I pushed against Jacob's chest " It would be nice if you - you know if you let me get up " " And why would I do that ? Hmm princess ?" just like yesterday noon his eyes" Where the fuck were you ?" this was the first thing Chris said to me the moment I stepped inside the house . It was past ten at night and well obviously it was past my bed time , not that I had a decent schedule of going to bed but I did have a fixed schedule of returning home which I unfortunately failed to follow tonight . It wasn't my fault though , I was well prepared and ready to go back home once Jacob came all over my bre**ts but then he went down on his knees and shoved his tongue inside my wet folds and well Ahem that kinda distracted me and by the time I shattered under the assaults of his tongue and fingers , the ticking of the clock was past nine .I knew I was late but Chris's unnecessary scowl and that interrogating tone rubbed me wrong ." you might be my brother but you are not my darn keeper " I retorted shrugging off my jacket I threw it on the coat rack that wobbled under force of my thr
Several days passed by after that little burglary attempt , Chris was still harping mad about the entire thing . I won't say he was overreacting , not when my brother who was pretty much broke after getting a pretty dang job done on his car , had to take out whatever measly savings he got, to repair his playstation as well as the broken window pane . In his words ,if he ever get his hands on that stupid little bastard,he will shove a fist size rock right up his a*s and have him shit it out.At first I was a bit spooked out by the stone throwing incident but later on as the day passed and nothing happened , I totally chilled out not only because Chris's stupid theory of 'Jacob 's major stalker ' was proved wrong , I was pretty much certain that the entire thing had nothing to do with any prankster or any crazy psycho maniac - most probably it was a burglar who got his facts wrong and made a mistake. With a certain assurance , the odd nag
I was humiliated , embarrassed but most importantly I was enraged - terribly incensed . Rage surged in my body leaving a hot charred blistering heat in its wake . I could feel the heat of my anger traveling up my neck and suffusing my head .My expression must have been terrible because both Selina and Ron were looking at me like I was a hungry T - Rex that was ready to rush out and chew up a good hundred and thousands , and honestly I was - I wished I could rip Jacob Knight's heart off his chest and gobble it up but did that guy even had a heart for me to rip out and even if he did , I was quite certain his heart would be nothing else but a blob of molten black tar ." Don't look at me like that " I said testily when Selina and Ron kept watching me with precaution " I'm not gonna do anything , of course I am inclined to punch Shaun Shotto
" You -"" it's alright " interrupting Chris , I stepped forward and got between him and Adriana as he raised his forefinger to point right at Adriana's face " She only wants to talk to me , I will just listen to what she wants to say "" She is a manipulative c*nt , whatever she says don't believe her shit at all , I bet she just wants to makes excuses for Knight.Nothing more nothing less " said Chris still glaring at Adriana who simply cocker her brow and folded her arms in front of her chest ." Well hate to break it to you ..Your sister is not that stupid . I don't think that just because I make some riff raff of excuses , she is gonna believe me - will you ?" she added twisting her head slightly towards me" No , I won't " I answered her back at once , my mind was still replaying all the bullshit about how Jacob told me that I int
♡ Jacob ♡The morning passed in a foggy blur . I had no idea what Mr . Husain was lecturing us about , all my attention was upon Bella 's empty sit . True to their friendship , Ron had given an absolute bullshit of excuse which comprised of 'a terrible fever that nearly burnt her brains dead ,' though I had a feeling that was a subtle jab towards me - no , I wasn't being paranoid , Ronald Davis gave me his stinky eye when he was excusing Bella for her absentee .I didn't even look at him all my focus was on how I should set things right with Bella , my mind went click clack as I thought about counter measures and then a more severe counter measures in case those counter measures failed. My legs were inevitably shaking and I was chewing on the end of my pen , my gaze drifting to and fro between Mr Husain and Shotton , all I wanted to do was to haul that jerk ass of his seat and drag him out to the parking lot and demand what exact
Anna took a step back , her face pale while her lower lip wobbled "Fine , then good luck with that tub of fat blob !"If it was before I would have remained silent and acted like it didn't bother me that much; because as long as Anna couldn't sense that Bella mattered to me that much she wouldn't continue insulting her but not today ..Because today I wasn't up to listening her bullshit and she knew it better than anyone how much Bella meant to me ." Let me explain something " I rumbled rage and anger pouring from my body " I'm not here to chat , nor I'm here to listen to your pathetic woes , I'm here to get facts out of you and you are going to give me those facts that I want right now or else I'm gonna destroy you and everything that matters to you "Now Anna looked a bit afraid . I didn't blame her , it was impossible not to feel terrified when I was glaring at her with homicida
" Bella " after we were done eating our happy meal , Chris gunned his Chevy and pulled us out of the parking lot ." Don't " I knew what he wanted to say but honestly , I didn't want to hear it , not now when I was feeling so emotionally exhausted and empty ." I need to say it ... " said Chris glancing at me side ways while he was half focusing on the road"Not now Chris " I shook my head" But I gotta tell you how sorry , I'm ...I shouldn't have done that , hell I should have stopped the bullying when it started ....what I'm trying to say I am sorry , For acting like an ass "" Woah did you just apologized to me ?" I casted him an odd look . I was pretty sure that Chris hadn't apologised to anyone since he was five. Thanks to our mother who had pampered him rotten , Chris grew up much
It was past midnight and I was still tossing and turning in my bed, now that Chris was gone and I was done with my homework, there was no more distractions for me to keep Jacob out of my head . Pangs of hurt and regret had my heart aching , I knew that after what he had done , I should be done with him. And the so called rumours that Chris just told me should have been enough to let me know that I should create some distance between him and I , however , as contrasted as it sounded , I was even more curious , I wasn't disgusted by those rumours . Though I did sincerely hoped that whatever Chris told me were nothing more than rumours but my stomach was still twisted with disgust , I threw the cover over my head and rolled closer to the wall . I had picked up that there was something wasn't quiet right with Jacob's family especially when I heard that Mrs Knight had physically abused Annabeth until she was traumatised but I had never considered this . Against my better judgment , I fel
EpilogueOne year later“What I’m trying to say is you can’t blame me for this !” exclaimed Jason , almost lunging at his girlfriend ‘s throat “ you are trying to argue with me with your so called theory but I’m telling you its not gonna work . If you gonna counter my theory you better prove it with real facts not ideologies “I grinned as Alicia gripped her head and groaned , like her head was going to explode any moment because of all the stress and frustration her boyfriend was giving her . Their debate session are always intense despite how loving they are out of the debate club , once inside - oh boy , they would be ready to lunge at each others throat and if I didn’t knew better I would have taken them as mortal enemies .They have never met a topic where the two of them would be able to cordially agree with each other . At first everyone was alarmed and worried when we firs
Bella“ Holy sizzles “ gasped Selina “ you look so beautiful ““ I know right “ said Adriana as she swiped her fake tears with her forefinger “ this is my master piece ,simply flaw-fucking -less amazing “To add to the effect she even sniffed” are you ready ?”Of course I was , this morning Adriana had stormed inside the room that I was sharing with Selina . I have told her in passing that I was going to do my makeup on my own - and believe me the girl squawked so loudly she was one pitch lower than the seagulls .If I wasn’t ready after all that , then I would never be ready . I nodded and once I did , Selina and Adriana grabbed my shoulders before turning me around to face the mirror .And I only had one word in my mind - Gorgeous .The solid champagne slit dress indeed flattered my curves , somehow it made me feel beautiful yet sexy at the same time . A
Bella“ It was the wedding dammit ! “ shrieked my mother “ I wanted you to be beautiful , I wanted you to feel beautiful ! Have you seen Lily ? She looks beautiful , she is healthy and active . The second she appeared in the wedding hall everyone’s gaze was locked upon her and she wasn’t even the bridesmaid ! What about you where were you ? I will tell you “ pointing her fore finger right at my face , my mother snarled “ you were being ignored , everyone was ignoring you despite Jennifer standing next to you because you are not what this society calls beautiful and healthy . You are average Bella , just average ! Do you want to be average ? Because I don’t ! I want my daughter to be beautiful and healthy , the centre of attention ! Even now the doctor can blame it all on the medicine but if you ask me , I say that it was all because you were so heavy . It wasn’t the side effect of the medicine that I gave you , No matter how much those doctor insist it is until they turn bl
Jacob“ Okay first question , exactly how much ICD one needs to overdose and die ? “ I asked but then furrowed my brows “ guess what that’s a stupid question isn’t it ? You can’t answer anyway . So “ I shrugged casually “Let’s see what exactly is the level of ICD overdose ,I can find it myself no need to trouble you “Wilkins ‘s eyes got as wide as saucers as he started to moan continuously , his eyes darting to the door and back to me .“ Ah , you better stop doing that - Grampy “ I told him with a warning note in my voice “ if something happened to you right now , you don’t even have someone to plan your funeral tonight “His eyes widened but he stopped struggling . His body went slack , and his chest rose and fell with uneven breaths . His eyes locked at the needles in my hand .“ that’s a good grampy “ I cooed soft
Bella" I think I will - umm , go ?" said Anna as she walked past Ron without waiting for an answer from me . I wanted to ask Ron , what was that about but the expression on his face made it clear that he didn't want to talk abut what happened just now .So , I swallowed my questions back . Instead I smiled at him " Hey , how are you doing ?"Ron who was still looking over his shoulder , turned his head back at me and smiled back " come on short stacks , is this question something you should be asking ? Instead it should be me asking , how do you feel after beating the death 's ass ?"I sit up a little more comfortably and flash him a victory sign " It feels awesome , I was -"I couldn't even get the words out because he already has his arms wrapped around me so tightly , that it was becoming a struggle to breathe ." I was so scared ,Bella .. just so scared " he said , his shoulders shaking as he rested his head on m
Bella" when I almost lost you , I realised how much I needed you " he said resting his forehead against mine " I didn't think about it while you were right by my side , but when I thought I was going to lose you , I realised that I never told you how much I need you "" I know , that already Jake "" Throughout my life I was scared about needing someone , scared that someday someone would want me and I would want her too "" I know that too "" No , you don't get it " he said nuzzling his head to my neck as he let his head drop down " You have no concept of how much I need you , if you knew you wouldn't be so calm , it would scare the hell out of you . It scares me too "" well , if it makes you feel better . I feel the same " All my life I have fought my battles alone , I have been disappointed so much by my family that I grew resistant even at the thought of needing someone . But Jacob was essential for me ." Glad
Jacob“ Hey , I’m back mum “ standing in front of the white headstone without Dante was awkward enough . But I knew I had to be here because she had always been there for me , I placed the bouquet of roses on her grave . My chest was rippling with so much relief and gratitude than ever before “ just so you know , I’m going to fulfil that promise the one that I made to you . I will study hard and inherit Dante -no Dad ‘s company and be a better man and son , a son you can be proud of ““What I want to say - oh to hell with this “ I wasn’t the emotional type and with all the errs and momentary pauses I was certain that my mum must be laughing at me if she was watching me right now “ What I want to say , is thank you . “ I looked at her grave before looking up at the blue sky “ Thank you so much mum , I know you came through for me …I know you did “Because she had
JacobI knew that this was real selfish on my part but you know what fuck it , because if I don’t put a stop on my pain right now , it will keep brewing until I was on the verge of dying with it . So better just end it before it becomes too much for me to handle .“ Mom , you don’t owe me a damn thing . But if you really have a pull up there I need you to string it up for me -please bring her back to me because I need her “ still leaning against the cold marble tomb , I uttered my final plea “ if you bring her back I will try my best to be a son that you can be proud of , so please tell that guy to return her back , I will do anything -please mum “Nothing , not even a flicker of grass or any soft caress of wind flew next to me . And I knew she didn’t hear it , And honestly I didn’t blame her because if I was in her place where my own kid loved my murderer instead , I wouldn’t listen to his damn ple
Jacob"I know you will be really pissed off about this but honestly I don't care because I have been pissed at you all my life and couldn't do a thing to you so yeah - that account is settled . Now we are going to talk about the new one -Bella , she is really a good person , she is loving , compassionate and caring - something I can't say about myself " I stopped breathing hard as emotions clogged my throat , I cleared it before continuing on with my speech that I have prepared after thoughtful consideration " and she is mine , you hear me mine not yours and you have no right to take her because -" my vision went hazy and something warm and wet trickled down my cheeks . I inhaled sharply staring down at the wooden flooring away from the altar " because she is my everything . I know people shit around the word ' love ' a lot now a days but this different . I have already promised her a future together and I can't fulfil that one promise if she is not by my side . " my voic
