Things Will Never Be the Same

It’s been about a week since and that’s been my space. Jacob has not once tried to even talk to me, it bothered me. I felt distant from everyone, pretty much moped around. Currently I was sitting in my kitchen with Paul. He was eating chips and I was eating the left over bacon from breakfast. I was a million miles away with my thoughts, I tried bashing Jacob to make myself mad at him. My heart was being a stubborn ass.
“You just have to wait for him to apologize.” Paul was over for the billionth time this week to make sure I was okay.
“Paul, I’ve tried that. I’m just gonna go talk to him.” Paul huffed and left. I sat in the kitchen debating if I should actually go talk to Jacob. It had been humid the last week and everything just built up. It was thundering and raining pretty hard and storms freak me out. At the last minute I decided to go talk to Jacob, plus it gave me an excuse not to be alone during a storm. Well the cards were not in my favour my car broke down, down the road from Jacob’s. It also started raining even more and everything got worse. I couldn’t just wait in my car so I decided to calmly run to Jacob’s, getting soaked in the process.

Jacob’s Point of View

I was sitting on the couch in silence, the power just went out and left me with my thoughts. I still haven’t talked to Sierra and she hasn’t made a move to come around. I found it odd cause she said she would come talk to me as soon as she was ready. Over the ticking clock in the kitchen I could hear a slight banging. I got up and opened the door. Sierra was standing there soaked head to toe and shivering.
“C-can I come in?” I snapped out of my stare and pulled her in.
“Why were you out there?”
“Truth, I got scared. I don’t like storms.” She looked up at me sheepishly still shivering. I put my hands on her shoulders and told her to wait where she was. I quickly grabbed a towel from the bathroom.
“Here, we have to get you some dry clothes.” She took the towel reluctantly and wrapped it around herself. I lead her to my room and threw one of my few long sleeve shirts at her, it’s going to look like a dress on her.
“Here uh, put this on.” I left my room and walked into the kitchen. I sat there just fiddling with whatever was on the table. Suddenly the lights flicked back on. Sierra’s going to find about us fighting alongside the Cullens against some rogue vampires and not be happy. Unless, I don’t have to tell her.
“Some weather huh?” Sierra was leaning against the doorway with my blanket wrapped around her. I didn’t answer her and she walked into the living room without another word.
“Jake I’m sorry.” I looked up at her and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Sierra why are you sorry? I’m the one who kissed your cousin even though I told you that you had nothing to worry about.”
“Well, I’m just sorry for practically avoiding you like the plague. I was so stupid Paul just kept telling me that you should be the one to apologize. He was just so annoying. I like what we have, I really do. I don’t want to lose it, I don’t really know what I would do. I love you Jacob. I like being with you, I like talking with you. You make me feel so safe-” A crackle of thunder caused her to jump closer to me, she let out a nervous laugh.
“Come here.” She sat on my lap and snuggled into my chest.
“Also, you are really warm and smell like the forest. I like the forest.” I chuckled deeply.
“So are you gonna tell me what happened?”

Sierra’s Point of View

I felt him stiffen when I asked. I was so worried that him and Lena were still talking. I started fiddling with the necklace he gave me, it became a nervous habit.
“Well I was walking with her and she started talking about you. I asked her what her problem was. She said that you being happy was her problem and she kissed me. I tried to push her off but that skinny chick has strength. Then you came up, it broke me to see those tears Sierra. I told her that she is a horrible person and that you are my world. She stalked off and I went back to the fire where you were leaving with Paul.” I smiled slightly, at least he told her off.
“Oh, well I guess that’s okay.” I was dumbfounded, what was I supposed to say?
“As long as it doesn’t happen again.” I let out a shaky laugh. I was really cold and couldn’t help but cuddle even closer to Jacob.
“Why did you leave your car? You are gonna get sick now.” He was looking down at me as I smiled up at him sheepishly.
“Like I said I was scared. I absolutely hate being in storms alone.” Just then thunder crackled and the power went out. The wind picked up and it started raining really hard, I sucked in a deep breath.
“Everything will be fine.” I smiled.
“That was almost a music reference, The Summer Set has a cd called Everything’s fine.” He laughed. We were sitting in the dark with occasional light from the lightning.
“Jake do you have any candles?” I had to ask because it’s just him and his dad I don’t expect them to.
“Yeah, Rachel brought some out. I don’t know where they are though.”
“Well let’s begin the search.” I pulled him off the couch. I had goose bumps on my legs as the warmth left me. Jacob was in front of me as I stopped to look in a hallway mirror. I looked bad, my hair was all frizzy, my cheeks were red and I was really pale.
“Come on.” Jacob whispered, I speed walked right into his back.
“Oops.” I giggled as I stepped away.
“’You know I tried to make myself mad at you.” I muttered looking through the closet. Jacob mumbled a reply.
“I should be furious that you kissed the person I despise, I shouldn’t want to see you. I shouldn’t just be running back, it just seems unusual.”
“Sierra, your boyfriend shifts and you know vampire, what about your life is usual.” I laughed.
“Shut up, I’m trying to make a point. Most girls would pretty much break it off and mope around. I moped but I tried making up all these bad things to seem like I should break it off. I couldn’t, I moped because I didn’t let you explain. It just seems like we don’t fight and every relationship has its fights. If we do fight we usually make up in a few days, that just doesn’t seem right.” I smiled and stood up straight holding the various candles.
“Well I could just start being mean and throw you back out in the rain.” Jacob was pinning me against the wall.
“No, that’s stupid.” I laughed pushing him away, I wanted some light my eyes were starting to hurt. I set the candles on the table and ventured into the kitchen looking for a lighter. I looked through all the drawers and came up empty.
“Sierra what are you doing?” I turned towards the living room and there was light coming from it.
“Well I was looking for a lighter to light the candles.” He chuckled.
“It was right next to them.” I sighed and sat next to him, the room smelt like the sea.
“So what have I missed?” I sat crossed legged facing him. I saw him stiffen slightly, it’s the little things.
“Nothing much Dan imprinted she’s really cool. Oh and we’ve been talking with the Cullens quite a bit.” I smiled at the thought of Dan imprinting, he’ll be great with her. I frowned if he thought I would miss that last part.
“Why?” He sighed and didn’t reply.
“We have to help them fight some vampires.” I stiffened.
“No.”
“Sierra, I have too.”
“No Jacob you don’t, just say no. Dan’s doing this too isn’t he? You guys are fucking idiots.”
“Sierra they could come here too.”
“I don’t care, you all could get hurt or end up dead. I finished the book and a vampire bite could kill a shifter.” He grabbed my hand reassuringly, I pulled it back slightly.
“Sierra we have to, they could hurt the Cullens.” I frowned, I didn’t want Bella or Emmett hurt but I could lose Jacob.
“Whatever, I don’t want to talk about it.” I grabbed the blanket and lay down. I heard Jacob sigh and felt him lay the opposite way. We were supposed to be settling our issues but we are just bringing up more.
