Dear Bella

A/N: So this is my first Twilight story…It just kind of popped in my head one day so I wrote it.

Summary: Bella invited Jacob to her wedding and Jacob replied.

Disclaimer: I humbly acknowledge that I don't own Twilight.


Dear Bella,

Thank you for inviting me to your wedding. Really, thank you. I'm touched that your bloodsucker fiancé, sorry, Edward, even let you invite me. Billy said he'll try to come but…I'm sorry Bells. I just can't go.

Remember the night before the battle? The night before you kissed me? Yeah, that was me that you heard. That howl of pain and despair…it was me. Yes, I was listening in on your conversation. I heard it all. I'm not going to lie, it hurt. A lot.

I think you can understand my reasons for not committing me to attending your wedding. I'm pretty sure you want it over as soon as it's possible, so me marching up the aisle saying "I object" really wouldn't be the best thing I could do to make everyone's day.

But there's still one more reason I can't go. I have a feeling I know what's going to happen after it's over. Even if I could restrain myself from objecting the marriage for my own selfish reasons, I couldn't be there and not ruin it for all your human friends and relatives. If I held myself back from objecting the marriage because I love you, I would just object it by saying that you're only marrying him now so you can be changed into a bloodsucker, sorry, vampire sooner. I couldn't restrain myself from that, and I would hate to spoil it for Charlie.

I hope you can forgive my absence because I doubt I'll be there at all now.

Love always,

Jacob Black

I read through the letter again. It wasn't exactly stiff, but it wasn't comforting either. At least it was the truth, I thought. It would have to do.


A/N: That last part can either be Jacob before he sent it or Bella after she got it. I don't know. Please review and let me know what you think!!
