Bella wasn't sure that her decision to move to Forks Washington had been the best choice she had made in her life. Being here for a year, she had thought things would begin to straighten out by now. She made some new friends, but she was still not able to get a routine going. Taking a deep breath in, Bella noted the cold air going down into her lungs. She hated this weather and wasn't sure that she could handle it for very much longer. The weather mixed with the fact that she was in love with two very different guys made her stomach uneasy. Her life as a teenager had been hard enough since her parents split when she was young and she had been forced between not only two different homes, but two different states. Her mother was getting remarried, and she was afraid that her father would never find anyone to share the remainder of his life with. That was it, the last straw; she refused to end up like Charlie by regretting life choices and ultimately ending up alone. She needed to make a choice right now. The choice would be made, but which boy would she choose? And how would she tell the other? She had logical reasons to be in love with both boys but she needed to choose just one. Bella was pacing the room again. She loved Edward, but could she ever get used to his life style? Jacob's life was just as hectic but at least she wouldn't have to move every 5 or 6 years. Bella was used to being cold, but could she spend forever with a boy who was quite literally stone cold? Jacob was always warmer then a "normal" human temperature by atlease 15 degrees and she knew she could get used to that. Edward would never age, Jacob would eventually be able to grow old with her. She never had to be careful around Jake because the fear of bleeding and not being eaten alive was not there. Edward's family had accepted her and attempted to make her comfortable. Jake and his father never had to try, she was always naturally comfortable, especially when he held her. After debating for hours she had made up her choice….Jacob.
