I was sitting in front of Charlie's house.I haven't seen Edward because he was out hunting.
Jacob walked toward me with a huge grin on his face.He came back from his little "trip."
"What would you do if Edward died,Bella?" Jacob asked me.
If Edward died.The idea horrified me,but I could have Jacob.
I didn't want to think of that possibility,so I shrugged."I would still have you,Jake."
He smiled my favorite smile."Yeah.You would.And I would take care of you.I would love you more than that leech ever
could,"he told me.
I frowned."He is not a leech.He's a person,too,"I said.
He brought his warm hands to my face.I looked at him and he returned my gaze.
In the next instant,he brought his face closer to mine and kissed me.
"Jacob!I'm engaged!Why did you kiss me?"I asked him.
He smirked."Just because you're engaged to a filthy bloodsucker doesn't mean I can't kiss you,Bella."He leaned down to
kiss me again.
I was about to let him kiss me but nudged him away from me.
"He isn't a monster,Jake.Try to understand that,"I told him.
"I don't want to understand!We are natural enemies.Neither of us can understand.The only thing we understand is the
need to kill each other.But the only things stopping us are the treaty and you,Bella,"Jacob exclaimed.
"Why am I stopping you?"I asked as I looked off into the distance.
He sighed."We don't want to hurt you."
"I'm perfectly fine,"I snapped.
"No.You see,you love both of us.And we don't like seeing you hurt,"he whispered.
I nodded."Yeah.That's why it's hard for me to have to choose between the two of you,"I said.
He closed his eyes."And you still are going to marry him,"he told me.
I crossed my legs and covered my face with my hands.I felt the lump forming in my throat and the tears fall down my face.
"Bella?"a voice in the distance asked.
I looked up to see Emmett walking toward me.
"She's fine,"Jacob sneered.
"Doesn't look that way,Dog,"Emmett spat.
I rubbed my temple."What is it,Emmett?"I asked.
"Trouble at home.There was a...disagreement,"he answered.
I stood up."Let's go now,"I told him.
"Now?You're all too eager to get away from me,aren't you?"Jacob asked with anger in his voice.
I sighed."Not now,okay?Later.I have to go.See you around,Jake.Don't run off again,"I told Jacob.
He glared,and a shiver went down his spine.He then turned away and ran.
"Come on,I brought my Jeep,"Emmett said.
Since Emmett was a maniac when it came to driving,something he and the rest of his family had in common,we arrived at
his house instantly.
Right before he stopped the Jeep I undid my seat belt,opened the passenger side door,and tripped after I got out of the Jeep.
"Please tell me I'm not bleeding,"I told Emmett.
He laughed."No,you're not.Here,I'll help you up,"he said,and held out his hand for me to grab.
After I grabbed it I rushed for the door.Before I could reach the knob the door opened with Alice behind it.
"Bella!Oh,I'm so glad you could come to the party!"she looked at my tank top and jeans I was wearing.She then
frowned."you fell down again.I swear,you are the clumsiest person alive!"
I blushed."I guess I can't help but fall everywhere I go.What party?"I asked.
Emmett walked inside grinning.Alice smiled."Come in.You'll see,"she answered.I noticed she was wearing a light blue dress.
I grimaced.There was a surprise inside and I wouldn't like it.
I walked inside to a beautiful scene that looked like it belonged inside a movie.There were white roses everywhere.
Edward's piano had three cream colored candles on it.
"Well,you're having a surprise engagement party!It was Edward's idea.Esme and I set things up,"Alice chirped.Jasper came
down the stairs in a grey tux and stood behind her.
Rosalie soon came from the dining room wearing a forest green colored dress."I had told Emmett what to say to you to get
you down here.Apparently,it worked without a hitch,"she laughed.
"Emmett,you had better change for the party,"Alice ordered while looking at Jasper.
Emmett nodded.He walked up the stairs and disappeared for a moment.Soon after,he came down in a navy blue tux.
"Who says I'm staying for the party?"I asked.I was hoping for them to be distracted so I could get away.
"We do,"Esme answered.She was wearing a light yellow dress.Carlisle was beside her in a black tux.
Everyone nodded in agreement to Esme."We planned this to be special,Bella.Please stay,"Alice pleaded.
I couldn't deny Alice.Even though I really wanted to go,I decided to stay.I sighed."Alright.I'll stay,"I replied.
Rosalie came toward me smiling."Good.Let's get you dressed and ready.It was also my job to pick out a dress for you and
put on your makeup for you,"she said.
In the next instant,she grabbed my arm and we went upstairs to get me ready.
