Life Isn't So Simple With Her

'Hey Gumdrop, It's Your Boyfriends'

Jacob's Garage
Next Day

Motorcycle parts are spread out on blankets. Jacob moves among them excitedly, piecing them together. Bella watches and Harley leans against the couch, playing on her phone. Bella shifts around, getting bored just watching but doesn't say anything about it.

"If we're going to be working on this everyday, we should probably include some homework. Don't want the Dad's to think I'm a bad influence on you." Harley scoffs at this, looking up from her phone towards Bella.

"Like you can be a bad influence on him, if anything, I would be a bad influence on the both of ya." Jacob lets a laugh out at this.

"That's true." He looks at Bella with a smile. "Harley would definitely be the bad influence between us three." Bella huffs at this before continuing.

"I am older than you both." Harley lips turn up at the corners.

"You're only by 5 minutes." Bella gives her a little glare.

"Still older." Jacob watches them with amusement.

"Let's calm down ladies." He turns to Bella. "Also age aint nothin' but a number." Harley let's a laugh out.

"I like ya reasoning Gumdrop and fully support it." Jacob gives a pretend bow towards her.

"Thank you, Crazy." Before Harley can say anything back, Bella cuts them off, you can now definitely hear the anger in her voice from being ignored.

"And I convinced you to secretly build me-" Bella stops before quickly changing the word. "-us two-wheeled death machine." Jacob doesn't catch her slip up but Harley does, she looks at Bella with disappointment at her slip up.

Jacob suddenly sets his face to a look of mock-horror. "You're right, you're way worse than Harley, you're like Satan-" He is suddenly cut off by a voice from outside the garage.

"Yo, Jake, you in there." Harley let's out a mischievous smile. Bella abruptly sits up, starts to pull a tarp over the bikes but stops when Harley talks.

"Hey Gumdrop, it's your boyfriends." Jacob looks to her in fake suspicion, trying to hide his amusement.

"How did you know about my boyfriends." Harley let's out a laugh and a wink.

"Ya can't from me Gumdrop, I know everything." He let's out a snort before turning to Bella who looks to be getting angrier by the minute.

"It's cool, it's just my boys." Quil Ateara and Embry Call enter, both 16. Quil is short, stocky and feisty, with short hair. Embry is tall, thin and laid back, with chin-length black hair.

"Hey, Jake-" They stop when they see Bella. The two guys share a smile. Harley watches them in amusement, a smirk settling onto her face.

"Hey. This is Bella. Bella, that's Quil and Embry." Harley waves towards the boys.

"Hiya Boys." They chuckle and wave back.

"Hey Harley/ Hey Harl's." They look back towards Bella before Quil opens his mouth. "So the bike building story is true." Harley nods.
