It was the best day ever. The sun was shining and there were no clouds in sight. Not the typical day in Forks, Washington. It was also the worst day ever. I was getting married today. That meant Alice dressing me up like a doll and throwing the biggest reception party ever. Alice loves to arrange parties. She put together my whole wedding. According to her "a good party is a big party." She knew how much I hated big parties and dressing up.Today I would get my way though. Edward, my sweet Edward woud turn me into a "monster" as he called it. A vampire. I sighed. I had my wedding dress on already and Alice was just "tweaking" it a bit. I was alone in my room waiting for Alice to return from getting a pin. Everything was perfect today. Still something didn't seem quite right. Someone wasn't going to be there. My best friend. He had gotten me through that unspoken of September. He had always been there and I had just left him in the dust. I had to make things right. But how could I after the conversation we had. I thought back to that very moment...
His note was like a bomb in my hands. Never knowing when the blow is coming, but knowing it's there. In this case a blow to the heart. I looked at the shaggy writing scripted on the paper.
Bella,
We have to talk. meet me on the path in the woods behind your house tomarrow
at 7:00.
Jacob
The next day at 7 I walked to the woods. It was easy to find him because of his height. He stood out. We weren't far into the woods but this particular spot scared me. This was the spot Edward left me in September. "hey" jacob said as i approached. "Hey jake what's up?". "Look I know it's a week before you get married, but I have to say this. You can leave him. You can come to me. If you don't take this there's no other way." was he serious? I couldn't leave Edward now. I couldn't ever leave him. "Jake I can't leave Edward. You know that he's my life." I said. "Yeah I thought you might say that. I'm sorry Bells, but i can't do this anymore. just being friends isn't working out anymore. So have a good life." he sounded truly hurt. He started to walk towards his rabbit. I turned, horrified this was the last time we'd be together. I could feel the tears attacking my eyelids trying to escape. "Jake, no. Please don't do this." i was begging now. " we can be friends. I know we can. Please don't leave me." Tears were streaming down my cheeks now. "Sorry Bella." was all he said. And with that he got in his car and just like that, vanished from my life.
But coming back to the present i had time. I still had one hour until I walked down the aisle with Charlie at my side and Edward waiting for me at the altar. Maybe just a small visit wouldn't hurt I told myself. I walked to my ancient truck, still in my wedding dress, and started the engine. Within ten minutes I was over the invisable boundry line. I finally reached jacobs small hut sized house. Jacob probably already knew I was here from the rumble of my truck. Billy was at the wedding already to help charlie and Alice set up and to get his wheelchair in the right spot. Without even knocking, I walked right inside. Jacob Black was in the tiny kitchen eating cereal. He was mid spoonful and had a shocked expression when hesaw me burst inside in my wedding dress. Without knowing why I did it, just seeing him made me blurt out "Jacob Black, will you run away with me?"
