The hospital buzzed around me as I reviewed my charts for the last time at Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital. I smiled at the thought of finally returning to my home town of Forks, Washington after almost 100 years. Yes that's right I said 100 years. I had not been able to return since my sophomore year of college. You see I was never your normal teenager, and then as a young adult I became the one thing that my family had never wanted for me, a vampire.
*FLASHBACK*
"Hey Charlie, do you mind if I take Bella for the weekend? It's our two year anniversary and I want to celebrate!" said Jacob. I was home from Washington State for the weekend and I was sitting on the couch with Jacob while Charlie sat in the recliner watching a baseball game. "Yea, sure thing Jake, where are you guys going to go?" asked Charlie. What in the world was his deal was he really going to let my boyfriend take me away for the weekend just the two of us? "I was thinking that maybe we could go to the mountains and go camping!" said Jacob shooting me a sideways glance. Charlie laughed, "Good luck with that one kid, Bella has never been much of the outdoor's kind of girl!" said Charlie. "She will be fine, I'll take care of her!" said Jake. I smiled. I was really going to get to spend the entire weekend with my boyfriend, I didn't care if I had to sleep outside on the ground I was going to be truly alone with Jake. "So kids when are you leaving?" asked Charlie. I looked to Jacob for an answer. "How long will it take you to pack?" he asked. "Less time if you help me," I said.
Jacob helped me pack and an hour later we were back in the living room saying goodbye to Charlie. "Be safe!" he said never moving from his place on his recliner. I laughed as I walked out to Jacobs's rabbit. "So, where are we really going?" I asked him. "Camping!" he said with a secretive smile on his face. "Jacob!" I whined. This usually worked, but not this time. "Not a chance, just relax, it will take us about 40 minutes to get there, take a nap or something!" he said. I laughed, "Yea right!"
Our camping trip really turned into spending the weekend in a romantic cabin in the mountains of La Push. That night we lay in bed together in front of the fire in silence. I was so happy; lying in Jacobs arm's just made me remember all the reasons why I loved him as I drifted off to sleep, the same as every night. The next morning, Jacob made me breakfast in bed, then after a shower we made our way out to the mountains for a hike to the top. "Jake, are you okay?" I asked. He had been kind of quiet since I had gotten out of the shower. "I am perfect!" he said stopping me and turning to kiss me gently.
When we got to the top of the mountain Jacob turned to me and took both of my hands in his. "I love you!" he said. "I love you too!" I said smiling. "Bella!" he started. "We have been through so much to get to where we are today. You were hardly whole before we started dating and now, here you are this beautiful woman who I love with everything I am!" he said kissing both of my hands. He got down on one knee and said, "Bella will you make me the happiest man alive, will you marry me?" I was shocked. We had talked marriage briefly, but I never thought he would be so ready to jump in especially being he was so insistent that I finish school as soon as I could. I couldn't help it, a smile spread across my lips, "yes!" I whispered. He jumped up and picked me up into one of my favorite bear hugs before placing me back down on the ground and kissing me sweetly. He pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on my left ring finger. "I love you Jake!" I said. "I love you too Bells!" he said.
We made our way slowly down the mountain, both of us beyond excited. When we were less than a half a mile from the cabin I turned to him and said, "Betcha I'll beat you back!" He just looked at me; we both knew that if he really wanted to win he would, but we also both knew that he would let me win. "Okay!" he said. I let go of his hand and took off down the trail. Now I have never been know for my grace or my sense of direction, so I wasn't surprised as I fell down, and then quickly realized that in less than half a mile I had gotten lost. I stood up and wiped the grass off my pants laughing at myself. I heard him before I saw him, he was standing behind me. Beautiful of course, growling softly, but loud enough so that I could hear, it wasn't menacing but it was enough to frighten me. He didn't say anything else, just lunged toward me. I felt the burning pain that I had felt only one other time in my life, three years ago when James had bitten me in Phoenix. The only difference here was that Jacob couldn't suck the venom back out, even if he made it here in time, because the venom would kill Jacob. I didn't hear Jacob but I felt him pull the mystery vampire off of me, and heard the metallic sounds of him ripping him to pieces. Moments later he was back in his human form and at my side, "Oh Bella, my Bella, I'm so sorry!" he said. That was the last thing that I heard before I blacked out.
I was sure that I was dead, once I blacked out the pain disappeared. There was none of the searing pain that I remembered, I was at peace. I said goodbye to all the people that I loved as I drifted, my parents, Phil, Jacob, Billy, the Pack, Angela, Jessica, my roommate Paige, all of the people that I would never see again. I finally came to grips that I would never get to walk down the aisle to see Jacob, and become his wife.
