Young Love
So, today is the day I move to forks to live with Charlie. Charlie and my mother divorced when I was young ,and ,I felt I missed out on a lot of things like my dad remarrying and hanging out with my childhood best friend Jacob' but that was something I couldn't control.
Charlie pulled up as usual in his police car, which as always is very embarrassing for someone who's used to riding in the classiest cars, however, I couldn't complain , after the death of my mother' time away was just what I needed to help inspire songs for my upcoming début album.
When we arrived at my new home, I couldn't help but notice that nothing had changed, it still had that cosy family feeling that I have long for for a long time, it even had the plant pot round back where I would attempt to grown my favourite flowers. Without warning I was on the floor and it felt like I'd been hit with something very large and heavy.
"Jacob, oh Jacob I've missed you so much. How are you? What have you been up to?" I didn't even get to finish my sentence when I could here his dad calling us from the front of the house.
"So I hear your going to be a superstar Bella?" Jacob whispered. I couldn't help noticing the slight hint of sarcasm and surprise, but then again I was always a very timid child.
"Hey Jake, I've really missed you … anyway have you got yourself a girlfriend?"
"Nope, I've kind of been saving my heart for this girl I've known for a while"
"What's the lucky lady's name?"
"That would be telling, but you think she's a lucky lady" Jacob blushed although you could barely notice because of his glorious tanned skin.
As I looked at Jake I had the strangest feeling I was missing something vital from the brief conversation about the girl he liked, then I noticed how he was looking at me. His eyes were fixed on my face and his smile said it all, was the girl he referred to me? had our friendship blossomed into something more' just through long phone calls and letters, or was I just being a fool by thinking he liked me?
Was this feeling in the pit of my stomach excitement because I was home with Charlie and with my best friend Jake at last? or was it jealousy at the thought of Jake giving his heart away, to someone other than me?
It wasn't long before it was time to jump into bed and get a good nights sleep before I started looking for inspiration but I couldn't help feeling someone was watching me, lurking in the shadows, out of site.
I woke up to the usual sound of birds chirping and the light tapping of rain against my window. Today I would be trying to find some sort of inspiration to help me with what could be my new fruitful singing career, but how am I meant to find something if I can't get Jake off my mind, maybe I should take drive to Port Angeles do a little shopping. It didn't take long before i found the perfect little book shop in Port Angeles, it was tucked away behind all the cloth shops and surrounded by the most beautiful trees and flowers it seems to be in a complete world of its own.
I wasn't even browsing the books for five minuted before my eyes locked with a beautiful amber pair across the shop, within seconds I was standing right infront of him. I don't know if I was imagining it' but the shop was very hot and i fealt quite awed by his presence his face was perfect, flowless and an amazingly pale. He was slender not to muscular and the rest of him seemed to be impossible to describe, but I could n longer gaze into his beautiful eyes, it was getting to uncomfortable and wierd. I left as fast as I could only to be stopped jus.t as I was about to reach for the car door.
"Hello, I couldn't help noticing that it was a little uncomfortable in there."
"Yeah, sorry bout that you just have the most amazing eyes" OMG! have I realy just said that outloud.
"Erm, well thank you I guess" I couldnt help noticing he looked a little suprised by that compliment. "Yea well ,I'm Edward nice to meet you ..."
"Bella, and its nice to meet you to Edward , so where abouts do you live?"
"I live in Forks with my family, I better get going I have quite a walk ahead of me."
"Well I'm heading there myself if you want a ride, I mean its no problem I feel I kind of owe you since you've helped me today."
His glowing eyes gazed at me and i could tell this was the inspiration i needed to kick start was starting to look like a fruitful break away from the city. I could feel his eyes on me the whole journey , and all I wanted to do was turn around and gaze into them, they seemed so warm and welcoming, but I knew that wasn't going to be a good idea exspecially if I wanted to get us home alive. In one car journey it seemed like things were changing , I found it difficult to concentrate his smile made me feel warm and fuzzy and I felt as though I was giving my heart away before I even know him fully. The one thing that was changing that broke my heart when I thought clearly about it was the fact my feelings for Jake were fading and I knew it would break his heart as he waited so long to tell me or hint to me about his feelings and I don't think I could handle to see my best friend and first crush heartbroken.
We got out the car and I looked at Edward and his glorious appearance and my heart pouned in my chest, I knew it, from that definitive moment, my love for Jake was just about history.
