Chapter 1
Bella POV
Yesterday:
"Remember Bella, this is VERY important," Alice said making sure I was paying attention. Tomorrow at 3:00 you HAVE to be at our house to plan for the wedding. OK?" " Yeah, uh huh. I'll be there."
The Next Day
My cell phone buzzed in my pocket and Edward's ring tone started.
" I was running in circles
I hurt myself,
Just to find my purpose.
Everything was so worthless,
I didn't deserve this,
But to me you were perfect."
"Edward?" I didn't need to ask but for some reason I always did. "Of course silly Bella, who else?" My cheeks burned and turned a deep scarlet color. "Bella, I need to hunt tonight. I'm going with Emmett, Jasper, and Carlisle. Will you be ok?" I thought for a moment. I was always sad when Edward was gone, but I knew he had to. "Bella?" "Oh yeah. Sure I'll be fine." I never was good at lying. "Are you sure?" "Yeah I'm sure bag a few lions for me." He laughed. It was one of my favorite sounds. "I'll come by later, love." "K I'll see you then. I love you." "Love you too" he said before he hung up. I sighed and went downstairs to cook Charlie's dinner. While I was walking to the kitchen I thought I had to do something today but I couldn't remember so I just ignored it. When I pulled the chicken out of the refrigerator I heard the doorbell ring. I looked up at the clock. Charlie was still at work and he had a key so I wasn't sure who it was. I opened the door and Jacob was standing with his back to the door. "Jake?" My heart leapt. I hadn't seen Jake in so long. But when he turned around I could tell he wasn't as excited to see me as I was him. "Oh hey Bella. Can I come in?"
Chapter 2
"Sure Jake. Come on." He silently walked past me and sat down in Charlie's chair. "So, you wanted to...talk?" I asked trying to read his emotions. His face was pained and full of sadness, but his eyes were full of anger. This wasn't my Jake. "Bella," he said. I could tell he was trying to find something to say. "Yea Jake? C'mon just spit it out." "Bella, do you know how much I wish you would love me as much as you love your bloodsucker?" I sighed this was going to be hard. "Jake, you know I love you." "Not as much as him" he shot back. His voice was starting to get louder. I really didn't want to fight with Jake. "Can't you just re-think your marriage? Please." He looked at me attempting and succeeding the puppy dog face. I couldn't help but smile. He smiled back my favorite smile. The one that belonged to my Jake. But unfortunately he did it again. "Please, Bella, please?" "Jake," I sighed " I have thought about it. And "I'm absolutely, positively sure I want to marry Edward. Jake please calm down, I'm sorry" His was standing his fists balled up at his sides and his arms were trembling. He took a deep breath and sat back down. "Fine. That's all I wanted to say." He got up and walked swiftly from the kitchen. I hesitated thinking about what I should say. I didn't want him to leave now. "Jake, wait!" ''Yes Bella?" Then I hugged him. I missed him so much and he was making things so hard on me. "Um Bella?" I heard Alice's voice. I looked up and she had her arms crossed and looked very mad. Jake's nose wrinkled in disgust. It was then that I realized what I had forgotten. But there was another reason why she was mad. "Why is he here?" Alice asked in a hard voice and was staring at Jake with a look that could kill.
