Chapter One 'Heart Ache'
Edward had left Bella about three months ago leaving her completely crushed. How could he make her think that he cared? How could he make her think that he loved her? Why didn't he just let her die? She tried to make it through school day by day but it wasn't easy for her. Charlie had become worried and was about to send her back home. To avoid this from happening she started hanging out with Jacob Black. They had worked on some bikes together and he taught her to ride them. She did it because she knew it would piss off Edward if he had ever found out. Why did she care thought? He didn't care at least not for her.
Jacob then all of a sudden went off the map for about a month and it began to worry her. Did she do something wrong? Did she say something wrong? I mean he did try to make advanced towards her and she told him she wasn't interested him in that way. Did that hurt his feelings? She hoped she didn't lose him as a friend because all of her other friends were abandoning her. Bella was working on her truck one day after it broke down at school. "Damn it!" Bella yelled hitting the engine.
A bike pulled up along side of her car and removing his helmet. "Need some help there," the guy said pulling off his helmet and she smiled over at him.
"Jacob," Bella said looking over at him. "Yes I would love some help," she said causing him to get off the bike and went over to her.
"Give," Jacob said holding his hands out and she handed him the wrench. "You suck with cars," he said causing her to roll her eyes. "Try now," he said causing Bella to head into the car.
Bella started the car right up causing her to scream out with joy. Jacob laughed shutting the hood of the car and went over to her on the driver side. "Thank you so much," she said hugging him close.
"Anytime," Jacob said hugging her back. "Look um," he said looking down. "There is this party at my house since dad and Charlie are going fishing," he said softly.
"Yeah," Bella said crossing her arms.
"And I am bringing my new girlfriend," Jacob said. "I would like you to meet her," he said softly.
"Of course," Bella said. "I didn't know you had a girlfriend," she said in shock.
"It was kind of love at first sight," Jacob said looking down at the ground. "You know I am sorry I tried to push you so hard about picking me over Edward," he said looking down. "Especially since he had just broken your heart," he said causing her to smile.
"It's fine," Bella said. "I do care about you but like a brother," she said causing him to nod. "What is the matter Jake?" She asked. "You have been acting really strange lately," she said.
"What do you mean?" Jacob asked causing her to look at him.
"Well I haven't heard from you in like two weeks," Bella said. "Where did you go?" She asked crossing her arms. "I mean I thought you were mad at me or something," she said softly.
"No I could never be mad at you," Jacob said. "Something happened," he said causing her to look at him and take a step closer.
"You can tell me," Bella said. "I won't judge," she said causing him to snicker.
"I have always known that," Jacob said. "On account of that you dated a bloodsucker," he said before causing her eyes to widen. "Oh my god," he said causing her to look at her.
"How did you?" Bella asked causing him to look at her with worry. He could sense that he had stopped breathing and began to worry.
"Breath Bella," Jacob said causing her to breath again. "I know because I am like him," he said. "Well I mean better but supernatural if you will," he said causing her to look at him.
"What?" Bella asked in disbelief. "How?" She asked.
"Let me take you to get a bite to eat," Jacob said. "I will explain everything," he said firmly. "I just need to put the bike in the truck," he said causing her to nod.
"Okay," Bella said still in a daze and then went into shock. "Oh my god," she said seeing him lift the bike up into the air and set it in the truck.
The only other people she knew with that kind of strength is the Cullen's. Jacob came over to her taking the keys from her. "You seem dazed," he said. "I will drive," he said causing her to nod.
They went to the Lodge to get a bite to eat and she looked over at him. "How did you know?" Bella asked softly. "Did you always know?" She asked.
"Yes," Jacob said. "Sam told me a lot of stories," he said. "And he helped me control my strength and my anger," he said looking down.
"What are you?" Bella asked. "Are you a vampire?" She asked causing him to glare.
"Please," Jacob said causing her to arch her eyebrow. "Never put me in the category of your bloodsucker ex-boyfriend," he said causing her to look down. "I am sorry," he said causing her to look up.
"What are you?" Bella asked causing him to take a deep breath.
"I am a werewolf," Jacob said causing her to nod her head.
"He told me about your kind," Bella said. "He doesn't like you very much," she said causing him to laugh.
"We don't like his kind either," Jacob said. "The only thing me and him have in common now is you but then again not anymore I guess," he said causing her to look down. "Man I am sorry," he said mentally slapping himself.
"It's fine," Bella said. "I got to learn to get over him sooner or late," she said causing him to smile. "So about this party," she said. "Filled with werewolves," she said causing him to smirk.
"Pretty much," Jacob said. "Embry, Quill, Paul, Sam," he said causing her to look in shock.
"Are you kidding all of them?" Bella asked causing him to nod his head.
"Yep," Jacob said taking a bite of his hamburger.
"Should I be scared of them?" Bella asked causing him to reach over and touch her hand.
"No," Jacob said. "They are excited to see you," he said softly.
"Cool," Bella said. "But just to let you know I don't want to be a werewolf," she said causing him to laugh.
"No problem," Jacob said raising his hands. "I will pick you up at eight," he said firmly. "Now eat your food," he said. "Or I will," he said causing her to laugh.
Bella walked back into her house and found her father sitting on the couch. "Hey Bella," he said looking over at her. "Where have you been?" He asked softly.
"Out with Jake," Bella said softly. "He's got a girlfriend," she said.
"Oh man," Charlie said standing up. "I wanted him to go for you," he said.
"Dad," Bella said. "First I think of him as a brother," she said. "And second I am just not ready to date anyone yet," she said causing him to nod his head.
"Well I am just glad you are getting out," Charlie said. "I ordered some pizza if you are hungry," he said causing her to sigh.
"No I ate with Jacob," Bella said. "I am just going to shower and then head to bed," she said causing him to kiss her on the forehead and she headed up the stairs.
Bella had walked out of her shower with a towel wrapped around her body. She went to go find some clothes in her dresser and tripped over a piece of wood from the floor. She arched her eyebrow and bent down to lift the wood up. She looked down in shock it was her CD and a picture of Edward. She thought he took those things but he left them there.
Bella took out the picture and CD heading over to her radio. She set it in the player and started the music. She looked at his picture walking over to her bed still wrapped in the towel. She began to cry and laid down in the bed. She held the picture to her chest and felt her heart rip in two. She fell asleep that night trying not to dream of Edward. It was heart ache all over again.
