Chapter 3 hope you guys like it :)
“Son……I know your pain…but….” But I cut him off.
“No one knows my pain…………..NO ONE!” I said. Walked back into my room and slammed my door.
“Jacob………I only pray that one day you will move on and let go of that pain” he said through the door. But I ignored him and placed my pillow over my face. I slowly shuffled through my blankets searching for the remote for my ihome. Once I found it I began to play Aint no sunshine by Bill Withers and raised the volume so loud that my bedroom wall’s rattled a little. I must have fallen asleep because all I remember was waking up to my ihome turned off and it was dark outside. I looked around my room as if I was in a strange world for a minute or two before I realized I dozed off. I went to the Kitchen to find a note on the refrigerator.
Hey Son, I went to Charlie’s if I’m not home before nine there is some food in the frig to reheat.
P.S. I turned off your music-magiga-athing because I couldn’t take hearing that song on repeat.
I glance over that the microwave clock and it was 8:25, I didn’t feel hungry so I sat down and turned on the T.V. I ran my fingers threw my hair; I really needed a cut before I left, Sam has a clipper machine I just let him do it, I mean what the hell it was free and he did a pretty good job, well one time he purposely cut Paul’s hair super short on one side and long on the other Sam refused to cut the other half so Paul was walking around with half his hair cut until it grew back….ahhhh that was the good old days, now Sam was married with twins a son named Elijah and a daughter named Emilia. He was a family man now, well I guess they all were in some ways, it was hard for us to have fun now we all were either working or taking care of family’s. And so now it was my turn to find my true love and start something of myself, as long as I’m close to Bells I wouldn’t be able to. My father knows some people out in Daytona Beach that owed him a favor or two, I already had an apartment and a job lined up for me, I wasn’t really going to college I had to lie because I didn’t want Bells to know, only the pack and my dad knew the truth.
My phone began to ring but it was all the way in my bedroom and I didn’t feel like getting up, if it was important they could leave a message. I flipped through the channels bored out my ass when I saw the head lights of a car pulling up from the driveway, I pressed the info button on my Direct T.v. remote to see the time, it was 9:05 “hmmmm dad’s home” I said to myself.
“Your such a loser” said Embry as he plopped on the sofa next to me.
“Oh it was you two ding bats” I said as I glanced over at Embry and Quil, Quil sat on my dad’s Lazy boy and rested is feet on my coffee table.
“Really Jake…….the Discovery Channel” whined Embry.
“Chill man……they have great show’s” defended Quil.
“Oh another bringing home baby fan” joked Embry.
“Oh shut up” said Quil as he throw one of the sofa pillow’s at him. I just shook my head and giggled a little.
“So Jake how does it feel becoming a Nascar mechanic?” asked Quil.
“I guess it feels great” I said still keeping my eyes on the T.V.
“Dude you don’t sound at all happy about this…….you’re going to be Jeff Gordon mechanic” said Embry.
“Yeah…..I know” I said trying to ignore them.
“Oh come ‘on Jake, are you still on that Bella chick” said Quil.
“It’s really isn’t any of your damn business” I said.
“Don’t let her ruin this for you Jake, this is a new life for you” said Embry.
“My life would have been better if she and my baby were in it” I said by this time I was getting upset.
From my corner of my eye I could see them look at each other and shrug their shoulders. I know they were just looking out for me and I don’t mean to be major asshole to them but I was still madly in love with Bella, and even though I show her that I can’t forgive her I truly miss her and wanted her here with me for this huge opportunity in my life. I know she was happy so I just brush her off so that I wouldn’t ruin it for her. I just need to find my soul mate and move on, and when my dad’s friend gave me this chance I took it, it would get me out of here and really make something of myself. I was only 19 and had a great job, I just have to leave my past here and try not to look back.
“Do you think Sam is up at this time” I asked
“I think so, he stays up late…..well he has been doing that lately” said Quil.
“Oh cause I need a cut, you think he would cut it?” I asked.
“I don’t know, let me text him” said Quil. A few minutes later he got a text back from Sam.
“He said sure, we just can’t make too much noise the kids are sleeping” he said. We all got up and made our way to Sam’s. When we got there Sam had the stool and his clipper’s ready on the porch.
“Hey Sam” I said as I hugged him
“Hey man, Congrat’s on the Job” he said. I sat on the stool and took off my shirt.
“Thanks man” I said
“What do you want?” he asked.
“He wants the Paul’s” said Quil as he laughed. We all had a nick name for that haircut he gave Paul. I called it sunny side cut, Embry called it the Jekyll and hyde, and Quil just called it the Paul’s.
“No way, just my regular” I said as I chuckle.
“I won’t do that to him guys he needs to look good for his job…..when is your flight tomorrow?” asked Sam.
“At four in the afternoon” I said.
“I’ll try to swing by along with Emily and kids to see you off” he said, but I could hear his sadness, I know they were happy for me and at the same time they didn’t want to see me go, but this is for the best, well I hope It was.
The Next day I woke up to All by myself by Eric Carmen playing in the living room, That normally meant he was drunk, He had that song on repeat when my sisters moved and I was hoping he didn’t do that when I left. I didn’t hear him come in last night; Charlie must have just dropped him off. But then I heard them both singing along to the song. I got up and walked to the living room to see Charlie on my sofa and my dad on his wheel chair, both of them holding a corona in their hands. The place smelled of alcohol.
“Son……I know your pain…but….” But I cut him off.
“No one knows my pain…………..NO ONE!” I said. Walked back into my room and slammed my door.
“Jacob………I only pray that one day you will move on and let go of that pain” he said through the door. But I ignored him and placed my pillow over my face.
