I sat waiting impatiently by the phone .Still no word from Jake and I was really starting to worry about my best friend .We had gone to the cinema three days ago with Mike Newton and he had left the cinema sick . Me and Mike dropped him off at his house but then I noticed that Jake was really warm and he said that he wasn't feeling too good . After he dropped me home , I got sick and spent the next day on the bathroom floor . Mike told me that he had only gotten the bug too , so I was really worried that Jake still hadn't called two days later .
Ring phone ring . Ring phone ring . Ring phone ring
*Bring* I jumped out of my skin and hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Hello? " I asked anxiously.
"Bella , this is Billy, " Oh thank god , about time . "Hey Billy , how's Jake doing ,"I replied breathlessly . "He's doing great , it turns out that he just had an allergic reaction to something he ate and his system wasn't handling it very well . " He chuckled , obviously picking up on the hysterical edge to my voice "Don't worry , we're suck with him for now " he joked . "That's really really great Billy , when can I come down " I asked eager to see Jake's carefree smile and to here him say "Hey Bells" in the deep husky voice I had come to love . Again Billy chuckled " Well you better get down here quick because for the last three days all I've heard is 'wheres Bella , when can I see her' and I'm about to lose it "
I laughed " I'll be there in ten Billy ".I hung up the phone and ran out the door . A new feeling washed over me : giddiness . I had always know that Jake liked me, ever since my pitiful attempts at flirting with him down at First Beach , but up until now it had been unreciprocated love , until now .
Was I really in love with Jacob Black . I knew the answer before I even finished the question : yes I was .Wow , I was in love with my best friend .
Then it hit me , I was also in love with Edward , man it hurt just to think it .Yes I was in love with Edward but he left , he left me . He had probably already moved on so so should I , right ? Yes , I should there was no point waiting for someone who doesn't love you anymore to come back and sweep you off your feet .
As I drove to La Push I started reminising about my time with Edward as a final goodbye . I thought of the bright days spent out in our medow , watching him sparkle as if his skin was encrusted in millions of small diamonds . I thought of the way he used to kiss me , all the time trying not to kill me in the process . I thought of the way his perfect crooked smile used to make my heart beat at one hundred miles an hour . Throughout all of this for once , I didn't feel sad . It was as if a great weight had been lifted off of my chest , like I was finally free , free to give myself completely and willingly to Jacob .
How should I tell him ? Should I tell him or should I wait for him to tell me first , yes that's probably the write way to go about it . I couldn't wait to see his face when I looked up at him and said "I love you too" , he would never expect it . He thought that I was still in love with Edward but I was ready for him , finaly , I was ready to let go of the past and move on with my life . I smiled as I anticipated Charlies reaction when I told him about us . It defineately wouldn't be the same reaction he had when I told him that I had a date with Edward , that was for sure and certain . He would be happy for Jacob and me .
I pulled up in Jacobs driveway five minutes later . I parked my truck hurriedly and practically ran inside to see Jacob sitting up in on the couch , looking uncharacteristically pale but good considering to circumstances . I studied his face carefully and was shocked by what I found . "Jake , you cut your hair !"I exclaimed loudly ." He looked up at me and smiled his brilliant wide smile .
"Bells " He shouted before gripping me in a bear hug .
"Jake , can't breathe " I wheezed as he squeezed me strongly to his well muscled chest .
"Ooops , sorry Bella ,I just really missed you " he laughed as set me down .
"I missed you too Jake , but you'd miss me a lot more if you smothered me in a bear hug." I smiled.
It strange how different I felt in the presence of Jake now than before , now it was warm and light and easy , I couldn't stop smiling !
"So how are you feeling today then " I asked Jacob seriously.
"F...f...fff ine" he drew out slowly, twitching his head with each syllable. I frowned at him, wanting so badly to hit him for teasing me but not sure where to aim for.
"Fantastic Bella stop worrying ,do you want to go for a walk down to first beach today " He answered , still smiling my new favourite smile .
"I don't know Jake , " I hesitated and his face fell , "It's not that I don't want to , I'd love to really , it's just that you're only recovering and it's wet outside ." I corrected hurriedly , not bearing to see him upset .
He rolled his eyes at me "Bella , in case you haven't noticed , we live in Washington and if you're waiting for a good day then you'll be waiting for a long time and besides I'm perfectly fine , I'll show you" He grinned and jumped off the sofa and picked me up , swirling me around like a two year old .
"Okay , okay , let's go just let . .NOW . "I screeched as he spun even faster . He set me down and to my major embarassment I giggled like a school girl. He looked pleased and flashed me my favourite smile before shoving me playfully out the door .
