Embry rapped on Jake's door again before heading down stairs.
"Hey son, when did you get here?" Billy said from the kitchen.
"Just now. Sorry for not knocking I thought... I thought he wouldn't come down."
Billy's sullen face spoke volumes. "He's in the garage."
Embry nodded his thanks and headed out. The garage was a mess. Half-bent tools strewn everywhere, Jake scowled at the twisted wrench in his hands.
Embry sighed. "So... they got back together huh?
Jake wiped his reddened face. "I am so fucking done trying to teach her anything."
Embry sat beside him. "I know."
I'm going to put the rest as replies to this one.

Bella has fallen shortly after she got there, during the "studying" they were supposed to be doing, and well before "bike-fixing" which was intended. Jake figured that she hadn't been sleeping well from the habitual under-eye circles, so when she nodded off on his shoulder, he decided to just let her sleep, as long as he could stay still anyway.
Looking down at her he felt, despite her insistence they couldn't, that this pretend friendship could turn into something... more.
But for now he was content to hold his breath, letting those little words die on his lips.
ehhhh doesn't really match the song that well, but that's what popped into my head.

So beautiful. It made my heart ache a little bit.

Bella didn't know when she started actually wanting Jake to like her (as a friend), but it had happened. And that was the hardest things to deal with as she tried to pull herself together this, one of those "bad days".
She wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to gain composure.
"I am normal. Absolutely normal. My ex-boyfriend isn't a vampire, and I don't hear him speak when I do dangerous things."
And they don't cut me into pieces, she thought.
She almost laughed at the lie as she headed out the door, praying he wouldn't notice.

1. Little Red Riding Hood, The Bobs
little red riding hood / even bad wolves can be good / i'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side / maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place
"I climbed trees when I was little," Bella says wistfully. "There was a lemon tree in the backyard of our old house. I picked all the lemons, even the ones at the top."
"I'm surprised you didn't break your neck."
"I wasn't clumsy back then. It started with puberty." She turns her face up to the pines, and the green moss tints her pale skin. "I miss it. Being up so high."
Jacob wants to say that he would bend the trees down for her, if she asked him to, but he can't think of the right words to use.

y'all ready for this?"Okay." Jacob points at the field. "On a 3-2 count, the guys on base will be off and running. Why is that ( ... )

Such a beautiful image, and so Jacob.
He nearly kissed her today.
He walks along the beach of La Push in the darkness.
This sent a delightful shiver down my spine - such a simple couple of lines to conjure up a whole scene. Beautiful.

Also, I'll be posting the songs up with each drabble (YouTube videos, you know), so everyone can listen to the songs and what not, and because I'm bored and figured why not?

Song: "Again I Go Unnoticed" by Dashboard Confessional
So quiet.
Another wasted night.
The television steals the conversation.
Exhale.
Another wasted breath
again it goes unnoticed.
Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break.
Out of touch. Out of time.
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
Out of touch. Are we out of time?

I love you. Bella, I’m in love with you, and I think I’d be the better choice for you-
“Jacob, could you turn up the volume?”
“Actually…” I move the remote out of her reach, “There’s something I want to…tell you.”
Her eyes widen and she starts shaking her head. “That’s alright Jake, it’s getting late anyway. Maybe I should head home.” She says her goodbyes and is out the door without hesitation, leaving me wondering why I watched Fear Factor with her instead of telling her I loved her. The worst part is I’m pretty sure she knows what I want to say.

My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick / Too much pressure and I'm nervous / That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
Her heart wasn’t working right. It was too loud, too fast, too much. And it hurt. Badly.
But her knee was broken too. It kept popping up and down, almost bumping the cab seat in front of her as they turned onto the road leading into La Push.
And her stomach…
She pictured Alice’s disappointed face left floating in the airport terminal and felt nauseous. But there was a song on the radio talking about home, and she tried to picture Jacob’s relieved face instead.
He opened the cab door with “Hey, Honey,” and the butterflies flew away.
2. Faith - George Michael (haha, I can't believe I really did get one of my George songs. Oh, irony.)
Oh baby I reconsider / My foolish notion / Well I need someone to hold me / But I'll wait for something more “Jacob, there’s something I have to tell you,” she tells the exposed Rabbit engine ( ... )

Now that just made my soul soar.
“Nah. I did some soul-searching and realized you’re a complete waste of time. Pass me the wrench, will ya?”
LOL, good boy!
I enjoyed all of these :D
