-----------------------------------------------
I was standing by the window, fiddling with the locket that Danny had given me for my birthday. I hadn't taken it off not once since his death but I decided it was now time. It's been four months since Danny died. Not a day has gone by where I didn't miss him. I knew that I would never be able to get rid of that feeling. He has a special place in my heart.
I took of my locket and slid it off the chain. I knew exactly where I was going to put it, I attached it to charm bracelet that Alice had given me.
"I think that is the perfect place for it."
I jumped when I heard Edward's voice. I turned around and saw him leaning against the doorframe.
"You scared me."
He walked over and kissed my forehead. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I knocked but you were deep in thought."
"Sorry." I mumbled.
"Don't apologize, are you okay?"I smiled at him. "Yes, I am. "
"That's good. I came to let you know that we're going hunting, we'll be gone for the night. Are you going to be okay by yourself till morning?
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm hanging down at La Push tonight, Jacob had called me last night and told me that the pack are having a bonfire down at First beach."
Edward ran his hands through his hair, I knew he was feeling nervous about me going to La Push. Every time I told him I was going down there he had the same look on his face. Concern. Worry.
"Edward, I promise I will be fine." I stood on my toes and kissed his cheek. "I will see you tomorrow."
"Be safe, love. Until tomorrow."
-----------------------------------------------
I was almost at the beach, I could see the smoke rising and the glow from the fire. I parked the car but before I could get out Jake was at my door, pulling me out and into a hug.
"Bells!" he sang, squeezing me into a tight embrace.
"Jake! I can't…breath!" He loosened his grip and put me down.
"Oh sorry Bells."
"It's ok, between you and Emmett, you'd think I'd be used to it by now."
"Well you can't help being a little weakling."
"Hey now!" I punched him in the arm.
We both laughed. "Come on, let's have some fun."
Jacob's hand was on my elbow, leading me towards the bonfire where everyone had already settled themselves. We sat on a log next to Emily and Sam, I heard him joking around with Billy. Leah was handing out marshmallows followed by Embry who was handing out sticks to put the marshmallows on. I saw Paul and Quil were play sword fighting with the sticks Leah had given them.
Leah finally reached me and handed me some marshmallows. "Hi Bella!"
"Hi Leah."
"We're roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. It's going to be fun."
"Yeah, I'm excited."
Roasting the marshmallows was fun, Paul flicked one at Quil and it started marshmallow war. Billy had to stop them before it got to far but watching those two had been hilarious.
Despite the heat coming from the bonfire, I began shivering, my flimsy little jacket was not providing protection from the cold air. I briskly rubbed my arms, trying to inject some warmth into them.
"Are you cold, Bells?" Jacob asked.
I laughed. "Yeah, it's colder then I thought it would be."
He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
"My own personal heater, thanks."
He laughed. "Anytime, Bells."
"How about a story?" asked Emily.
Everyone agreed that was a fantastic idea and agreed that Billy should be the one to tell the story. Billy nodded his head and began to tell a tale.
Awhile later, the story was over, people were chatting amongst themselves and a few were dancing from the music playing on the stereo from somebody's truck.
I just sat there thinking, staring at the fire.
"Bells, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I was just thinking."
"Do you want to go for a walk on the beach and talk?"
"No, I am fine. I was just thinking about how different Forks is from New York."
"Is that a bad thing?"
I laughed. "No, I like Forks just as much as New York. I had a lot of fun tonight, I was just thinking that I couldn't do this in New York. As much as I miss it there, it feels good to be home, I like having dad nearby."
"He likes having you back to, he hasn't stopped talking about how good it is to see you everyday. He's much happier to have you back."
I laughed. "Yeah, I know, he's constantly telling me."
"Hey, Bells, I have something for you."
"Jake, you didn't have to get me anything."
"It nothing big, promise. It's just a little trinket."
He pulled a tiny box from his jacket and handed it to me. Inside the box was a silver charm in the shape of a wolf head.
"Jake, it's beautiful! I have one question? Why a wolf?"
He laughed at my question. "Remember the Quileute legend I told you awhile ago?"
I nodded my head.
"Well since the legend say we descend from wolves I thought it would be cute to give you a wolf so every time you see it you think of me. And you may not know this but wolves are loyal to one another. I want you to know that you are my friend and I will always be here for you. I promise we'll be friends forever."
I held my arm forward and he attached it to my bracelet next to the locket. I smiled at him. "Thank you so much Jake, I think it's perfect."
Sorry about the wait! So there it is the first chapter, I hoped you like it! I know it wasn't that long, but I promise to try to make the rest of the chapters longer.
Review, review, review and look forward to the next chapter!
