Isabella Black Chapter 1

Bella POV

I looked up at the clock to see that it was already after four in the afternoon. The boys would be here soon. I was expecting Charlie and Billy back from their fishing trip and Jacob was going to tag along. I was busy chopping vegetables for the stir fry when I heard Charlie's police cruiser pull up. I said hello to Charlie and Billy as they past the kitchen and went to the living room where they would no doubt turn on some game to watch.

Not even five minutes after I started back on dinner the familiar voice of my best friend filled the kitchen and I couldn't help but smile. "Hey Bells! Thanks for inviting me to dinner." Jacob was grinning from ear to ear as he came in and captured me in one of his famous breath taking bear hugs. I mean breath taking in the literal since by the way.

"Can't br-breathe," I huffed as he started to laugh and set me back down on the ground. He was still grinning my favorite lopsided grin. I couldn't help but to smile back. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for Jake. He's been here helping me through the toughest time of my life. My personal sun in my time of darkness. Then for some reason I saw him frown.

"What's wrong Bells?" I hadn't even noticed it but somewhere in my train of thought I started to frown myself and Jacob had caught it. "Bella, is everything ok? Earth to Bella." He started to wave his hand in front of my face and I snapped out of it.

"Everything's fine Jake. Would you mind helping me get dinner finished. I bet Charlie and Billy are starving after their fishing trip." Jacob started to chop the other vegetables throwing them in the pan with the meat and vegetables I had already chopped.

"Smells delicious Bella, I love to watch you cook." Suddenly a light blush broke out over Jacob's cheeks. I just laughed and playfully nudged him with my elbow as we went back to finishing up dinner. Another ten minutes and I was putting plates on the table.

"Dad! Billy! Dinner's ready!" I heard the T.V. go off and the squeaky sound of Billy's wheel chair. He really did need a new one of those. Maybe I would get him one for Christmas. Maybe one of those motor powered wheelchairs. I smiled at the thought knowing he would probably really like that. I hadn't even noticed that everyone was sitting at the table waiting for me to sit and I had gone off to la la land again. So I sat down and started to pick at the food on my plate.

The conversation took off between the three guys. I stayed out of it chewing ever so slowly of the food in front of me. I noticed that Jacob had cleared his plate and was reaching for seconds in under ten minutes. Charlie and Billy tried their best to keep up with him, but after Jacob went for thirds they were stuffed. "Thanks Bella dinner was fantastic! I just don't know where Jake puts it all, it's like he has a second stomach or something." We all busted out laughing and then it got kind of quiet again while Jacob finished his third helping of food.

He wiped his mouth with the napkin next to him and then looked at me before clearing his throat to speak, "Umm hey Bells there is another beach party tomorrow night and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me? The whole gang will be there including Emily, I know how close the two of you have gotten. So what do you say?"

I looked over at Charlie with pleading eyes even though I knew he would let me go. He was just happy that I was happier now. I could still be…

I let that thought die right there as Charlie spoke, "Sure Bells. You deserve to go, maybe you could get up with Emily and see if you could stay the night and then I will stay with Billy so I can already be there for fishing the next morning, how does that sound?"

"Sure Dad that sounds great I'll have to go call Emily now. Hey Jake thanks for asking me to go, I'm going upstairs now but you and Billy can stay as long as you want and watch T.V."

"That's alright Bells, I've got to get him home and to bed anyways, but it was nice to come over for dinner. I'll come pick you up around four tomorrow if that's ok?"

"OK, I'll be ready!" I gave Jake a quick kiss on the cheek and a hug and went up stairs. I decided a warm shower couldn't hurt and grabbed some clothes from my room before heading for the bathroom. When I was done and dressed in a t-shirt and shorts I started to head to my room, but before I could open the door I tripped over my own feet and banged my knee right into the cabinet.

"You OK up there Bella?" Charlie yelled from his spot on the couch.

"Yes Dad, I'm fine just being my normal self." I heard Charlie chuckle and get up from the couch to head up stairs for the night as I rushed to my room. I jumped on the bed and grabbed the phone dialing Emily's number by heart, I was actually looking forward to the party.

The phone rang three times before someone picked it up. I was greeted by a mans voice, "Hello."

"O, sorry I hope I'm not interrupting anything Sam. I was just hoping to get to talk to Emily for a minute, it's about the beach party tomorrow night."

"Sure no problem Bella, hold on a second."

"Bella?"

"Emily, it's so good to hear your voice. I'll be quick about this since you have company." Emily giggled and I could hear movements in the background. "Jacob asked me to the beach party tom-"

"He did!? That's great Bells, but you know you shouldn't lead him on like that. The two of you would be a perfect couple. O, why don't you just give him a chance, I know you have feelings for him. Don't try to deny-"

"Emily! Geeze you're about as bad as everyone else." I laughed into the phone. "No, I know I shouldn't do that to him and I'll figure it out soon I promise, but this isn't why I called. Charlie is thinking about staying with Billy tomorrow night so that they can get up the next morning and go on another fishing trip. He thought it might be a good idea if I asked to stay the night with you after the party that way I won't have to come home to an empty house, but-"

"Of course you can stay Bella! We'll have us a slumber party and kick all the boys out after the party. What time are you coming out here tomorrow?"

"Well, I have to do some chores around the house that I've been neglecting, but I think Jake is coming to get me at four and we'll be going straight there. I can't wait to see you again, have a good night."

"You too Bella, get Jake to drop you off here before he goes down to the beach and we'll go in together." Came Emily's giggly reply.

"Ok." With that I hung up the phone and looked over at my computer. There was probably an email or two waiting for me from my mom but it will have to wait until I get back I was exhausted. On that note I reached out and cut the light off and snuggled under my blanket with a smile as I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

Author's Note: So this is my first fanfic hope someone out there likes it!

Sorry the first chapter is so short but i had to start from somewhere, they will get longer.

Any ideas I would love to hear from you and I will update as often as I can.
