If it Were Jacob

Prologue

What if the one you loved left you? Could they be replaced, or would there be a hole in your heart forever? What if the replacement was the one who could end the thoughts of the first forever?

Chapter One

"Edward," I cried out. "Edward." All I could see of his Trail were a few fluttering leaves. It would be hopeless to follow him. I turned back pausing, hoping he would return, hoping he would tell me it was all a joke.

A cruel, sick joke.

"Suck it up, Bella." I mumbled to myself. I continued, slowly and carefully back to my house. Just as I plopped into the armchair, Charlie walked in, hanging up his gun belt and jacket.

"What's wrong, Bells?" He asked, seeing my sulky and downcast expression.

"Oh, it's nothing Cha- I mean dad." I reassured him, not quite believing myself. I had to work on that calling-dad-Charlie-at-home thing.

"Well, the Blacks are coming over, so I hope you can pull it together Bells." huffed Charlie. " Huh, really, nothing" he added quietly, thinking I couldn't hear him.

"The Blacks!" I perked up a bit, hearing that Jacob, an old friend from when we were kids, was coming over. Although I was happy to see him, I wasn't so happy to see Billy Black, Jacob's father. Billy Black didn't approve of my relationship with the pale faces. Actually, didn't approve was an understatement. He highly opposed it.

The doorbell rang. "There here!" called Charlie, trying to hide his excitement for his best friend's arrival. Billy hadn't come around much when I was with . . . Edward. Thinking his name sent a stab of pain to my heart.

"No Bella. You can't miss him." I told myself. I stopped talking to myself when Jacob wheeled in Billy, a large grin on his face.

Wow, he's grown.

"Bella!" called Jacob.

"Hey Jake!" I answered, smiling and equally large smile. We walked out to the back porch, where we could see the beautiful sky, purple with Twilight.

Hey look, a New Moon.

I never knew how handsome Jacob was.

"So," said Jacob. "How's my Bella?" My Bella, that sounded nice.

"Oh, it's all the same," I replied smiling. "Homework has no limits." I kept smiling. My smiling must have been dazzling, because it brought out a deep, red blush on Jacob's face.

"Cool," he said, still blushing. "So. . . I was wondering if . . . if . . ."

"Spit it out, Jake." I prompted, hopefully not to harshly.

"Well, I was wondering if . . . you wanted to go out to the movies with me on Saturday?" he stammered. "Like on a date. . . if that's okay with you."

"Sure, Jake!" I replied happily, and making him look happier, too. " I'd love to!"

"Good, okay, I'll see you Saturday then! I'll call you!" he yelled over his shoulder, rushing to get inside the truck, where Billy was honking for him so he could take him home.

I couldn't wait until Saturday.

So, do you llike my story? Should I write more chapters? Give me feedback!
