The First
Isabella Swan had a thousand chances to be with Jacob Black.
Jacob Black had a thousand hopes that turned into a thousand disappointments.
Isabella Swan had a thousand reasons to not be with Jacob Black, and most of them had to do with Edward Cullen.
Edward Cullen had a thousand reasons for Isabella Swan to not be with him, but he had a thousand and one reasons for her to not be with Jacob Black.
Jacob Black had a thousand reasons for Isabella Swan to be with him, but he had only one reason for her to not be with Edward Cullen.
Rosalie Hale added and subtracted until she could almost imagine that her head was aching. No one suspected that she was the silent referee.
Jacob Black was about to give Isabella Swan her thousandth and first chance.
Isabella Swan was about to give Jacob Black his thousandth and first heartbreak, and Edward Cullen his thousandth and first sacrifice. A sacrifice he didn't ask for, but gladly accepted.
Rosalie Hale was about to tip the scales for the thousandth and first time.
Then she realized that if she took away one thousand chances, hopes, disappointments, reasons, heartbreaks, and sacrifices… there was only one left.
And as the one, it could be considered the first.
The first chance, the first hope, the first disappointment, the first reason, the first heartbreak, and the first sacrifice.
The first, not the last.
"It was never going to end, was it?"
