Three years later:
It's been three years. I always hated being celebrated but this was different. This was because of him.
Jake and I had been on and off for years. We've now been dating for seven months nonstop and it's kind of nice. He's been putting up with me for so long, it's odd to think there was a time in my life where he wasn't there. A time when I didn't need him.
The phone rang and I nearly tripped as I run to get it. "Hello?" I began to heard laughing. Instantly I knew. "Tripped over again?" I untangled the phone and walked to the fridge. "A little. What's up Jake?" I began drinking my bottle of juice. "Seth and the others are having another party at La Push. Wanna come?" I looked at the clock. "Jake I'd love to but I'm kind of behind on my studying." He tooth a deep breath and I was ready to defend my answer. "Bells come on. You haven't hung out with me all week!" I sighed. "Look Jake you know I'd love to, but you're the reason I'm behind on my studying in the first place!" He laughed. "Okay then. Well if you change your mind you know where to find me!" I sighed. "Okay. Night Jake!" then he told me. "Love you Bells." I smiled. "Love you too!" I hung up the phone and decided to make dinner for myself. Charlie was rarely here which made it great for studying and spending time with Angela and Jessica. The only bad thing is it made me have to come up with a million excuses as to why Jake couldn't come over. I knew if he were here he would want more than I was ready to give and that would get him asking questions.
I was happy being his girlfriend. Right now it was enough for me. But he was always wanting more. I quickly cooked macaroni and cheese for dinner and headed upstairs. When I got to my room the window was opened and I noticed the cool breeze. I shut the window and looked outside. I knew he wasn't coming back and I had shut the idea of him returning out of my head. But every now and then... I finished all of my studying and decided to rest my head for a moment. While doing so I fell into a deep sleep. The phone disturbed my sleep and I woke with a shock. "Hello." I mumbled. No one answered. "Hello? Is anyone there?" again nothing. "Goodnight!" I hung up and got up to turn my computer off, organised my books and homework then decided to go to bed. Tomorrow was going to be hard, it always is but hopefully Jake will distract me.
The next day I woke with a shock. "Morning!" It was Jake. He had made me breakfast in bed. "Jake! What are you doing here?" I sat up and he leaned in for a quick kiss. "it's your birthday. Can't tell me you don't remember your 21st birthday bella!" I sat up and stared at the window. It was shut. "Um yeah sure." Jake moved the tray next to me. "I guess Charlie already got here before me." I shrugged. "Why do you say that?" He pointed over to blue present sitting on my desk. "Listen do you mind if I get up and get dressed? We can eat breakfast together downstairs." He smiled and took the tray away. "Okay. Don't take too long or you might just miss out!" I smiled and kissed his cheek. He kissed my lips in return. "I won't take too long!" He left my room and shut the door behind him. I ran over to the present. I knew it wasn't from Charlie. I couldn't tell Jake that. Charlie had been gone for two days on a police investigation in Seattle. Apparently they needed his expertise. It was good for him to get out of Forks every now and then. I opened the present slowly. It was a cd. I grabbed it and opened the case. I put the headphones into my cd player and popped in the cd. I hesitated pressing play. What if I was so desperate for this to be from Edward? But what if I was right? If he was here what would that mean? I moved my finger away and I took off the headphones.
"No." I quickly changed and while I had my hand on the door knob I turned back and stared at the headphones. "Oh screw it!" I put them on and pressed play. It was the song Edward had created for me. I thought I would cry or be angry. But I just smiled. Was this his way of saying sorry for hurting me? I heard Jake calling me from downstairs. I turned off my player and took off my headphones. "Coming Jake!" then I turned to my window. Was it him that left my window open? Was he trying to give this to me last night? I opened my window and left it open.
