First Twilight Fanfiction. I give all props to my friend harrysgrll who edited the chapter. Thanks so much. I do not own any of Stephenie Meyer's books except for Eclipse. This is a continuation from there.
Daylight's Coming
Chapter 1: A Surprise Visit
"Edward?"
"Yes, my darling?"
"I think we should send a wedding invitation to Jacob. He may not even want to come considering that he left because of me, but he is my best friend and-" Edward stopped me excitedly in the middle of my sentence.
"That's wonderful Bella," he said lifting me up and kissing my lips gently. "Perfect even, because I've already sent him an invitation."
I felt I should have been upset that he had sent him an invitation without my knowledge of it, but that was not why I had been upset. I was mad that I could not send him an invite personally. Now I knew why Jacob had run away to Canada, because Edward sent him an invitation.
I had desperately wanted to send him a letter and apologize and tell him everything. I couldn't even do that because I knew if I were to tell him everything, everything would be… about Edward.
"Oh!" I replied to him glumly. "Well, I kind of wanted to see how he's doing so… I think I'm going to write a letter." I told him quickly. "I just want to make sure that he's alright over there in Canada."
"But haven't you been calling Seth just about everyday? He's told you that Jacob's fine. Isn't that enough?"
"Not quite. He just doesn't seem so enthusiastic when he tells me about Jacob," I replied grabbing a piece of paper and a pen.
Alice came rushing into the Cullen's family room from out of no where. She looked just the teensiest bit exasperated when she came in. I was sure that loss of breath had not been caused by myself or Edward. Edward and I were staring at her with puzzled looks, once she finally caught our eyes.
"Err," she hesitated, her cheeks flushing a brilliant red. She put her head down to avoid our stares. "Err-The flowers that were supposed to be for your wedding arrived. Except, they sent the wrong kind. The dozens of roses and azaleas they were supposed to deliver turned out to be a mess of artificial, colored flowers. They aren't right at all. I don't know what to do. I'm so sorry." Alice finished head still down, but her eyes peeking up at us nervously.
"Oh, Alice. It's alright, I'm sure we can send them back. It'll be fine, I'm sure it won't be too difficult," I said and motioning for Edward to add in his own little part to soothe Alice.
"Yes, it'll be fine. We'll simply send them back," he said looking at Alice suspiciously. Alice met Edward's eyes. She had a frightened look and immediately looked back down at her shoes, but she continued to speak. "I think maybe you should come outside and look at them. There are so many. You should… take a look," she hesitated while speaking, that was odd.
"Alright. Let's go. Come on Edward," I said, following Alice out of the room.
"Yes," he said. "Let's see these flowers," Edward's sly suspicion still in his voice.
The three of us walked outside to the front porch. I looked around and saw the regular, empty front yard. I turned to Alice who had her head down again. "I lied… somebody's here to see you."
"What? Who?"
"Jacob." Alice replied a bit quieter, still looking down.
"Jacob?!" Edward and I said together in disbelief. "Well, where is he? I thought he was in Canada?" I continued.
"Well, he said that he had some important news for you. He's over there," Alice replied pointing at the large tree. At that moment I could see a large rusty colored werewolf coming from behind the large oak tree. It ran right up to me and the two other Cullens on either side of me.
When he was directly in front of me, Jacob turned back into his normal self, though hair was much longer since the last time I had seen it. He obviously had not cut it while he was in Canada.
"Hey Bella. Edward, Alice;" he said nodding at each of them. Was Jacob actually being polite? This was such a shock to me, never was Jacob polite to any vampire, least of all Edward. Edward was often trying to be on friendly terms with Jacob, but never was it the other way around.
"I was wondering if I could speak to Bella privately, please," he said looking directly at Edward and then shifting his gaze to Alice. Alice and I both looked at Edward, and he was staring at Jacob. Edward nodded slowly and turned his back to us and walked inside the house. Alice followed.
"How have you been?" Jacob asked once Alice and Edward had left.
"I don't know…I guess I've been okay. I was worried about you mostly though. I really thought that you were going to stay in Canada forever. I was prepared to get to a plane and come and get you. I'm sorry that I hurt you. I learned only now that Edward sent you the invitation. I wanted to, you know; but I was scared you might do exactly what you did. I guess I took the wrong precautions, huh?"
"I guess you can say that. I'm sorry too. You're my best friend Bella, but I don't think I'll be coming to the wedding."
"Oh!" I said as we walked down the path away from the house of the Cullens'. I couldn't help but notice that Jacob had not taken my hand in his as he usually did. I felt that there was definitely something wrong. I didn't know what it was, but it frightened me still. "Well, I wanted you to be there, but I understand that it would be very awkward." I explained.
"Bella," he said stepping in front of me, "I want to tell you something. While I was in Canada I had a lot of time to think about things - our relationship. I couldn't take not seeing you there so I got on a plane and was determined to get back and talk to you, but something happened on the way."
He stopped and looked at me straight in the face. I worried to much,I thought to myself. "What happened, Jake? What?"
"On the plane ride back something happened. I was thinking a plan of taking you hostage with me, somewhere where they would never find us. I had a whole strategy planned out. Then on the plane ride I met Lidia."
I looked at him blankly and he looked down at his shoes. "I've imprinted, Bella. I've imprinted on Lidia," he said and after a few long seconds looked up at me to see my reaction. I only stared at him and he had an anxious worried face, "Bella? Bella? Are you okay?"
I was furious, I couldn't stand him. How could he imprint? At the very moment when I thought that he came back to be friends - to forget everything - he imprints! I turned around and stormed back to the house. My wedding was in a week and he tells me that he's not coming because he's imprinted on Lidia.
"Wait Bella," Jacob said coming to my side. "I can't believe you. You left me because you were going to get married to a vampire and now when I imprint I finally got over you you're mad at me? No. That's not how it's going to work."
"What do you expect, Jacob? You tell me you're not going to come to my wedding because you've imprinted on some girl named Lidia. Honestly Jacob! Why don't you just bring her to the wedding? I wanted you there."
"I didn't think that would be appropriate," he replied.
As you probably know Stephenie Meyer has a playlist that goes along with each of her novels. So I also will be putting a song to go along with each chapter I write as I write it.
