Chapter one
"Here's your bags miss" the man from the airport smiled politely and handed me the bag."I'll take that bells,"Jacob quickly interfered and got the bags from the man. "You just get your duffel bag."
He put his hand around my shoulder, I was extremely thankful; I felt as though I was going to fall from lack of sleep at any minute, the time change from forks to South America wasn't much but I was still exhausted. The airport wasn't very big; there were very few people around; which were good since me and Jake were trying to go somewhere uncrowned and were we would be unnoticed .frankly I was terrified that somebody would recognize us. Charlie had put up "missing teenagers" signs all over the country and on the world wide news. I wouldn't be surprised if they heard about me and Jake all the way in china. "So Bella, how you liking South America so far?"We were outside the airport, sitting on a rusty bench, and waiting for our bus to arrive. Me and Jake had saved up our money and had gathered enough to rent a two room apartment for a few months. "Well jeez Jake I've only seen the outside of their airport, how I am supposed to have an opinion of the place yet?'' I questioned mockingly. I was extremely tired and cranky but I still wanted to be nice to Jacob, I still felt guilty that he had given up his money from collage AND the money he had been saving for spare car parts, to rent the small apartment. "Well, I've already made my opinion of this place "he said cheerfully."Yeah and what's that?"I asked. He grinned "it sucks and reeks of dirt and tacos."He crinkled his nose when he mentioned the smell, I couldn't blame him; the place didn't exactly smell of violets and roses. I put my head on Jacobs shoulder and closed my eyes. It had been almost a year since Edward Cullen had walked out of my life, I had been only getting used to the feeling of emptiness lately, and decided to get out of forks for a while; I had left him a letter telling him I was fine and would come back in a couple of months. Charlie had gone hysterical, putting up posters everywhere, and even putting up ads on TV. I and Jake had left right after he made sure Billy was taken care of. "Hey bells, you awake?"His breath was warm and pleasant as he whispered closely."Hmmmm, what is it Jake?"He was so warm, I felt as though I had my own personal, walking heater "the bus is here."He said a little more loudly this time. I opened my eyes and noticed a small worn down in front of us."Oh, okay," I got up, stretched and reached for my small duffel bag. "We'd better get going."Jake quickly got up and picked up the bags and made his way to the bus. He paid the bus driver said a quick thank you, and we then sat down in the back of the bus... as soon as we sat down the bus started to move. "Hey Jake, what time is it?" I asked sleepily, my eyes felt heavy as I waited for Jacob to answer. "About 1:30 in the morning" he yawned, and his eyed crinkled and dimples flashed. "Wow, I'm tired." he snuggled himself closer and I layed my head on his shoulder, he hunched down so he wasn't his old huge self. I could easily reach his shoulder. "You know what bells?" he whispered huskily "what Jake?"I questioned "I'm really glad were here, I mean together, you know..." he seemed a little embarrassed at what he had shared but very sure. I was glad I was with him too, he was my best friend. Nothing would ever change that."Yeah Jake, I know what you mean…"
