A Jacob Black Love Story

Samantha Pov-
As I was driving to La Push, the place where I was born, I was reminiscing the past. I had all the memories flooding back to me while I was driving. I remembered when I was a little girl I was friends with Jacob Black. But I moved when I was 14, not wanting to stay on the rez any longer, I hated that place. The only people who knew that was my best friend Jacob and my best big brother Sam Uley. Sure I didn’t have anywhere to go, but I found out where my father was and I lived with him for two years and got my own place and job when I was sixteen. But ever since mom died which happened this year I moved back there to comfort my big brother. Of course I’m not gonna like it but if it is for Sam then I would do anything.
I remembered when I first met Jake. I was playing tag with Sam on First beach, a crescent looking beach, I was thinking about how Sam and my names are alike and I ran right into a russet looking boy. I fell back and was dizzy; Sam then came running after me to see if I was ok. But I was to busy looking at the boy who was seeing if I was ok. He looked real cute; I was only seven years old and not exactly boy crazy. So give me a break. But I did think he was cute.
He asked, “Hey you are you ok?”
I answered “Yeah I’m ok. Are you ok?” I said that cause I was only seven and I can run fast and hard for a girl my age. Yet I am the one on the ground and he’s the one looking at me. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
“Well I’m not the one on the ground, you are.”
“So! You should pay attention where you walk this beach is not made with sand, this beach has rock you know.” I answered; by now Sam has just arrived and started picking me up while I was ranting on with my speech. “Thanks Sam.”
“What’s your name?” Sam asked the russet looking kid.
“Jacob, Jacob Black. And what are your guys names?” answered Jacob.
“My name is Sam Uley and this is Samantha Uley, but you can call her Sam or Sammy.” Answered Sam, he’s the talker for me I’m always the shy one. His friends always call him a sissy for wanting to be by me and always sticking up for me. I always try and have him go with his friends but he doesn’t budge. Ever since dad left he has been my dad ever since I can remember. If I really want him to he would play dolls with me. He was always taking care of me because I’m the only little girl at the house and my mom doesn’t really like me. Well she does like me she only cares if I have food and clothes on my back but other than that I’m on my own.
After that day we had hung out together all the time just Jake and me. Sam would always check up on us but that was about it. When we hung out he would teach me how to wrestle and I would teach him how to draw. I would always beat him when we wrestle and he always got mad about it. He would say that he went easy on me but I know that he tried his hardest.
I remembered the day for our dance at school when we were 13, he asked me to the dance so I said yes because we were both friends. I didn’t know that he did that because he liked me. I was really surprise when he told me why the next day, and even though I didn’t admit it I was really thrilled. Because I had a crush on him since I was 7. But I didn’t buy it when he told me that he liked me. I thought that he had one of his friends dare him to say that to me. So we didn’t do anything about our feelings toward each other. So I became real jealous every time he had a girlfriend, but I would stay by his side every time he was heart broken.
I also remembered the day his mom died and how hurt he was. He wouldn’t talk to anybody and I mean anybody but me. I would be the only one he talks to. Every time we came home from school I would help him get over the hurt feelings he had. The things that I would tell him were that she is in a better place right now and now she can be happier now that she can watch and protect you more. After a couple months he started feeling better.
Seven years after his mom died, when I was 14, I moved away from La Push. I didn’t want to be there, I never liked my mom. She was always saying, “If I only had one kid then I wouldn’t have to struggle.” At saying that I moved, I called my dad and told him that I was going to move in with him. He wasn’t all that thrilled about it, but I didn’t care. Now three years later my mom died and I go and comfort my brother. Yippee for me.
I remembered all the fun pranks Jake and me did. We did the pranks on each other, his parents, Billy and his mom, my mom, and Sam. They were all good sports except for my mom. One time we put a fake bug in her food that same day I came home I got the heat from her. She was screaming at me and saying that if I did that again to her then I would be grounded and not be able to hang out with Jake anymore. That night I was so mad and the next day I told Jake what happened.
“Well it is obvious that she got scared and was punishing me because she thinks that I did it.” I said.
“But didn’t you do it?” Jake asked.
“Yeah but I didn’t say I did. I just kept on denying it.”
“Oh I get it now. That was smart.”
“Yeah well anyways she says if I did that on her again I would be grounded and would be banned from hanging out with you.”
“Man that would suck. Then I wouldn’t know what to do with my time.”
“Yeah, what would we do with our time?” I chuckled and asked Jake.
Those were the good old days when I wouldn’t give a care about the world. I would only be care free and go where ever I want to. That doesn’t mean that I would fail my schooling. I was the brightest kid in my grade. I would help out Jake when ever he needs my help. We would help out each other in one way or another.
One day we were walking home from school-Sam usually takes the bus home I prefer to walk I like the rain and the trees- and Jake was with me. Out of nowhere these three huge boys comes out, you could tell that they were in 7th grade, me and Jake were only in 5th grade, and Sam is in 8th, the boys were looking at me funny.
They say to Jake, “Move aside kid.”
“No.” Jake comes in front of me purposely, so they couldn’t touch me.
“Now kid so we can get to cutie over there.” Now I was mad because I don’t even know these kids. I know that they weren’t even Quileute they were people off of the rez.
“Don’t touch her. Just leave us alone or else.” I knew Jake was getting angry he had made a promise to Sam that no one was gonna hurt me.
“Or else what?” said one of the boys.
This time I spoke up. “Or else I’m gonna get my big brother to come and pound you guys.”
The boys just laughed and Jake just looked insulted. As I was looking at Jake and apologizing with my eyes, we didn’t see the older boys circle around us. By the time we realized it one of the boys grabbed me by the arms and the other pushed Jake to the ground. I screamed out to Jake, he got up quickly to his feet. I didn’t realize that the leader of the three was holding me. He started to drag me away. Jake saw what he was doing to me so he came and punched the guy in the side. He dropped me and ran towards Jake.
They were going to gang up on him, so I grabbed my phone and called Quil Ateara and Embry Call. They both picked up and I told them what was happening. They asked where we were and I told them. We were just down the street in the forest path that we always took when we were all hanging out.
It took them about three minutes to get there. By the time they did I was helping Jake get them off of him but they were too strong. Quil and Embry ran and jumped on them and they came and tried to hit them, but they were too quick for them and they missed them. But Quil and Embry didn’t miss. Jake was busy with the leader and I saw Jake winning. After a couple of minutes the older boys left. But before they left the leader punched Jake in the face, I ran to Jake because he fell unconscious as soon as the punks left. I saw that he was bleeding, and he was also dehydrated. Quil and Embry were behind me asking what was wrong. All I said to them is, “Give me my bag. In it I have band aids and a first aid kit.”
They did what they were told and I fixed Jake up. I also had a water bottle that I didn’t drink out of. After a couple of seconds Jake came to, as soon as he did I hugged him and thanked all of them for helping me. They said that they didn’t mind. That is what friends do. But I saw them all give a knowing look to each other and then looked at me funny.
When we got home I ran to Sam because he was on the porch looking for me. I told why I was late and his eyes grew real big and he got real angry. Later that day when we were done with our homework we went over to Jake’s house. When we knocked on the door, Jake’s mom came and hugged me asking me if I was alright. I told her that I was and that we were seeing if Jake was alright, and if we may see him. She said that we may sure do that. She showed us the way, I saw Rebecca and Rachel on the couch watching T.V. they were watching the news with their father Billy.
When she got to Jake’s room she said. “Jacob you got some visitors.” She whispered to us that we can go in. I always liked Jake’s mom she was better than the mom that I have at home. She was like my second mom. She always cared about how I was, she gave me help when I hit puberty, and she always knew what to do if I needed anything. All my mom did is help Sam and forget that I ever existed.
Sam opened the door while I was hugging Jakes mom. I said thank you and followed Sam into the room.
Jake looked at me and I said. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah I’m fine. Are you okay?” Jake asked.
I chuckled and answered his question. “Yeah I’m fine a little shaken up. But altogether fine.” He himself chuckled at my statement.
“Thank you for trying to keep my sister safe-” Sam said.
“He didn’t try to keep me safe, Sam. He kept me safe.” I said interrupting him.
“Fine, thank you for keeping my sister safe. You happy now?” Sam corrected and narrowed his eyes at me playfully.
I pretended to be offended and smiled at him. Then I turned to Jake and I said. “But really, I just wanted to thank you for saving me from what could have happened.” He smiled at me and I thought that this smile was different from what I’m used to seeing.
“Hey Sammy can I talk to Sam privately?” Jake asked.
“Umm sure thing I will just, uh, wait out on the porch.” I said feeling very confused.
“You don’t have to wait outside.” Jake said he must have thought he had hurt my feelings.
I smiled, “No it is fine I need to get some air anyways.” I said that so he knows that he didn’t hurt my feelings.
“Okay than. See ya later.” Jake said giving me another one of his weird smiles.
On my way out I shut the door to give them some privacy. While I was on my way I was wondering what he has to tell Sam that he can’t tell me. I wonder if he knows that I have a huge crush on him ever since I was seven. Doesn’t matter he’s my best friend and your not suppose to date your best friend when he is a boy.
Well a couple minutes later Sam comes out and I asked him what Jake had to say. He said, “Jakes not coming to school tomorrow.”
“That’s it?” I asked I was feeling very, very, very confused.
“Yeah that’s it. He seemed very tired from his fight this afternoon.” Sam seemed very quiet and thoughtful.
A honking car brought me back to the present. I realize that I am half way to La Push. 10 minutes later I was parked in front of Sam’s house. I walked up to the door and knock and a women whom I don’t know answers the door.
“Hello.” The women, with scars running from one side of her face extending all the way down to her hand, said.
“Umm, hello is this Sam Uley’s house?” I asked feeling very confused and stupid just standing there. I looked at the address Sam gave me over the phone.
“Yes this is his; may I ask who is asking?” asked the lady.
“This is Samantha Uley I’m his sister.” I said.
“Oh come in, come in!” She said growing excited.
“Are you sure? Because I need to find him.”
“Yeah he lives here he will be in, in just a minute he is out with some friends.”
So then I went inside the house. A couple minutes later comes in my brother. He was taller than the last time I saw him and buffer.
“Sam is that you?! You changed so much.” I said not being able to recognize him thoroughly.
“Yeah Sammy it’s me. Can I have hug?”
“Sure Sam.” I laughed and went to go hug him.
“Hey Sammy this is my fiancée Emily.”
“Hi Emily so you’re the girl my brother talks nonstop about every time I call to check up on him.” I laugh and go and hug her.
“And Emily this is my little sister Samantha, Sammy for short.” He said smiling at me and then laughing at my reaction when he said little.
“Hi Sammy, I hope that you would be able stay with us for a little while?” she said sounding hopeful.
“Umm, no I was thinking of buying me a house to live in while I stay here. That is if there are any houses here.”
“Yeah there are some houses for sale. There is one just down the street too, if you want it.”
“How much is it?”
“It’s 2,349 dollars. We can help you pay for it if you need some money Sammy.” Sam said.
“No, no that is fine I have over 10,000 dollars in my bank account. What time is it?”
“It’s a little after twelve. Why?” Emily answered coming out of the kitchen.
“I want to go see if I can buy the house. Where are the realtors? ” I said, not wanting to stay and crowd them you know what they say about twos company and three is a crowd.
“I will show you where. Emily will you stay here and if one of the guys comes say that I am showing my little sister around?” He said laughing at me when he said the word little again.
“Sure thing, I love you Sam. Bye Sammy.” Emily called as we were heading towards my car. tbc.
