Make Me (Cry) - Jacob Black (Day 12)
Summary: It hurts being somebody's second choice. Pairing: Jacob Black x Reader Word Count: 682 Warning(s): confrontation, Bella bashing, Jacob picking Bella over the reader, etc. If I missed something, let me know.
a/n: Welcome to the first day of the 12 days of Christmas! This year will be twilight themed. I figured it might be easier if I pick a line from the selected song and try to focus the fic around that line, almost like a prompt in a way.
Song: Make me (cry) by Noah Cyrus
"I never hated you like I do right now"

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened as she grew closer to the red home. She wanted- no, demanded to know why Jacob kept ignoring her. At first, it didn’t bother her. He could do things without her. But when Jacob kept ignoring her, not returning her calls or texts, it made her wonder what the hell was going on.
Pulling into the muddy driveway and getting out of her car, she walked over to the shed where she knew Jacob would be.
“Hey! We need to talk.”
“You’re not supposed to be here, y/n.” Jacob said, cleaning up and reorganizing the tools that were around the shed, stopping by the old wooden table next to the Volkswagen rabbit. He glanced over at her, and his entire world stopped. Suddenly, there was an invisible string pulling him towards her. He wanted to be there for her whenever she needed him. An overwhelming feeling of wanting to protect her washed over him. And you’d think he'd be happy about finding his soulmate, but he wasn’t.
“Want to tell me why you’ve been ignoring me? We haven’t talked in weeks, Jake.”
“There’s a reason for that.”
“Then tell me! I miss talking to you. I miss hanging out.”
“Sam won’t let me.”
“Sam? Sam Uley? Since when did you take orders from him?”
After he phased for the first time, Sam ordered him to cut off all contact with her. ‘It’s for her own safety,’ Sam told him. Sam didn’t want another repeat of what happened to Emily.
“It's complicated.”
“Complicated? How complicated can it be, Jacob?”
“Y/n, drop it. Leave it alone.”
“No! I want answers.” She crossed her arms in annoyance. “Are you ignoring Bella like you are with me?”
“Don’t talk about her-”
“I’ve hit a nerve. What is it about Bella that makes her so special? Hm? She’s a little boring for my taste, but to which their own.”
Jacob listened to y/n go on and on about Bella, questioning all the choices she’s ever made in her life. He could feel the heat in his body rise and his hands shake. The person he called a friend was insulting the woman he loved. The woman he wished he imprinted on.
From under his breath, he growled. “STOP!” Jacob seethed, balling up his fist, taking several small steps towards her. “Don’t you dare talk about Bella like that!”
“It's only the truth. You pick what you want to hear, and when someone tells you the truth, you get mad. And besides, isn’t she with that Edward guy?” She could see him tense up even more than he already was at the mere mention of the guy’s name. “Wait… didn’t they break up? And didn’t his family leave town afterwards? That’s a little messed up if you ask me.”
“I. Love. Bella!” Jacob proclaimed, enunciating every word clearly.
“Congratulations on establishing that, Jacob, but news flash. If the Cullens come back, she will go back to him like nothing ever happened. It's honestly pathetic. When you realize it’s always going to be him, you are going to be heartbroken, and who will have to pick up the pieces? Me.” y/n hated herself for what she was about to say and didn’t intend for it to come out this way. “You are so oblivious you don’t see that the person in front of you is complete, and utterly in love with you.”
Jacob’s expression softened, but just as it softened, the anger took over once again. “I’ve never loved you like that. I only ever considered you a friend, but at this point I don’t even want to be friends because I never hated you like I do right now.”
He stormed past her, hitting her shoulder as he went by. She didn’t expect his words to hurt as much as they did. All she could do was wait for him to realize Bella would not pick him over Edward. But did she want to waste her time waiting?
