"Bella," said a voice in the still dark room from the night. I reached over and turned on my bedside lamp. When light illuminated the room I looked up to see who was in my room. Rachael had a big bright smile on her face that was probably so big it hurt her cheeks. "You would never believe what happened yesterday night." "What?" She stood up and paced the space of my master bedroom. "Paul asked me to marry him," she squealed so loud that I had to hear what she said again. "Okay what can you please say that again minus the loud squeal." "Paul asked me to marry him." I jumped out of the covers and into a standing position on my bed. "Oh my God. Rach you better not be lying to me." She jumped on to the bed with me and showed me her once bare left ring finger to be decorated with a big diamond. We jumped up and down on my bed while squealing.
After two minutes of jumping up and down we plopped back on to the soft mattress. "So when is it?" "In four weeks and I uh sort of want to ask you something?" "Anything." Her ten-bolt smile was on her face again. "Will you be my made of honor?" Was she literally asking me this? "Honey of course I'll be your made of honor."
Rachael grabbed me in her arms and squeezed tight. "Dad and, well I really don't know if Jake and Dad are going to be so happy that I'm marrying Paul. Even though Jake and Paul are pack brothers, Paul tends to piss Jake off." We laughed at that knowing it was the full-grown truth. Billy and Jake liked Paul in the beginning that was until he imprinted on Rach.
Jake was always watching and making sure Paul didn't make the wrong moves, or hurt Jake's sister. Billy actually groaned when he heard Paul imprinted on Rachael and made an excuse that his head hurt so he had to go to bed. Which I doubt wasn't even a lie.
"So Bella what is it with you and Jake?" I looked over at her like she just said something in a foreign language. "Nothing is going on. We're friends. God why do people keep saying that?" It made me somewhat angry when people got up in my business. "Okay, okay. No need to be a Leah junior ya know." Not able to stay mad at Rach for long a smile broke across my face. "Well she is my sister you know and it tends to rub on you when you live with her although she never treated me like crap."

After a little chat with Bella I decided to go and tell Jake and Dad the news. I walked into Dad's all to quiet home and just stood there in front of the door. Taking a breather for what I was about to do. Slowly I walked into the living room to find Charlie, Dad, Harry, (A/N Harry didn't die, and never will) and Old Quil sitting on the couch watching a game to closely.
God I wish I would have told Bella to come with me but she went with Alice (A/N Edward did come back but was married to Tanya. And the Cullen's still live in Forks.) And Rosalie to go dress shopping and I am pretty sure they pushed Leah out the door also.
I walked into the living room and stood in front of the T.V. since it was a commercial. The old men starred at me like I'd punished them, men and their football. "Dad I want to tell you something but please have an open mind." His face turned red, "Paul knocked you up didn't he." Huh? "What! No, not that." Dad sighed loudly and looked up.
"Thank god. Okay so what is it that you wanted to tell me?" I took I deep breath then said slowly making sure to separate my words. "Dad Paul asked me to marry him." Dad's face turned white. Charlie stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "That boy is going to be the end of you." He chuckled and walked into the kitchen followed by Harry and Old Quil.
I took a seat next to Dad and hooked my fingers together. Dad started to chuckle, "God Rach you almost scarred me for a minute. Nice one, you know you and Jake shouldn't hang out so much. You're both starting to act alike." Is he for real? "Dad I didn't stutter. I'm marrying P-A-U-L. Paul." He leaned far back in his chair. "Fine. I'm not saying I approve until Jake does." I smiled and sat up. "Well you better tell him to hurry up because I'm getting hitched in four weeks whether you two like it or not." I walked to the kitchen and said bye to the men and walked out the front door.

"Alice I am so not wearing that!" I squealed. Leah was laughing so hard at what Alice picked out for me to wear under the dress. She had a pair of Black and diamond lingerie that looked like pieces of string just sewn to one another. The bra was spread out way too far apart that would show off someone's breasts if they thought of wearing it. "Oh come on Bella think of it, you haven't gotten laid in two weeks. This will be your key to the jackpot of paradise." This statement only made Leah laugh harder and Rosalie join in. "Whatever. At least I can be laid." Alice crossed her arms. "And what makes you think vampires can't." "Well have you even tried?" I said a bit embarrassed of how this topic came up.
"No but I will." I covered my eyes even though that image will not go away just by covering up the eyes. "Oh come on Alice I didn't need that envisioned in my brain." She shrugged and walked over to the rack to look at more lingerie to torture me with.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go. I have stuff to plan out for the wedding." They said bye as I walked out to my big white Chevy Tahoe. My car was a birthday present last year from Esme and Carlisle. Although I missed my old red truck, my Tahoe seemed to be a little bit better. For Jake's graduation present the Cullen's got him a new 2010 Mustang Shelby Cobra. From that day on Jake sort of took a liking to the Cullen's beside Edward.
I pulled up to my beach house in La push. It had a nice view of the ocean so it just seemed right for me. Living closer to the ocean meant more sun so I sported a tan that made my skin glow. Walking to my garage door, Nelly and Bubba must have heard me because they started to bark like crazy. My dogs reminded me of the wolf pack that's why I got them.
"Bubba how you doin'? You being good?" He licked my face so I just took that as a yes. "Nelly how about you?" she just barked and ran out her doggy door to the backyard. I walked into the house to hear it noisy with cheering. There sitting in my living room was the pack watching the Cowboys vs. the Saints. Apparently the Saints were winning because the boys were either saying 'touch down' or 'Go'.
"Hey Bells," they said in union. "Umm, hi. Why are you guys in my house? And how did you even get in?" They pointed to the back door that was open. "You left your door open. Ya know Bella you shouldn't leave you doors wide open like that?" "Right because a bunch of over sized wolves are going to come in and watch your flat screen?" They paused the game and looked at me but I went to the kitchen.
"So Bella what's for supper?" said Jake coming through the doorway of the kitchen. "Buffalo wings, mashed potatoes, homemade chips and salsa, and corn bread." Jake's mouth looked like it was watering. "Jake your going to catch flies with your mouth hanging like that." He closed it and walked back to the living room. "Boys when will they learn."
A/N I'm sorry I didn't get another update on 'Stand Tall and Don't Fall' and 'Can't let go' yet, but I will have them both done by either tonight or tomorrow. I promise you you'll get more updates on them both.
