This story begins with that scene in Eclipse when Jacob is telling Bella that he loves her. (gag) Well, this is my version of what I wish could've happened. If only Bella wasn't so selfish.

Ch.1-Letting go

"I'm in love with you, Bella," Jacob said in a sure strong voice. "Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you don't feel that way, but I need the truth out there so that you know your options. I wouldn't want a miscommunication to stand in our way."

I stared at him for a long minute, speechless. I knew that he was in love with me. But I wasn't in love him! Why couldn't he get that through his head? I loved Edward. Edward holds me together. Without him, I'm dead.And Jacob just didn't understand.

"Jacob, what options? There are no options. I love Edward. You know that!", I shouted in an angry voice.

"Be honest. Do you want me to go away? And leave you alone?", he asked.

"No. I don't want that."

He grinned.

"But i don't want you around for the same reason you want me around", I said.

"Well, you can have me around, bad behavior included, or not have me around at all," he said.

He was not being fair. I wanted Jacob in my life; he was my best friend. And I didn't have to hide anything from him.He knew that I was involved in the vampire world. Something I could never tell anybody. Not Renee, not Charlie. With Jacob, I can float and talk about my life and my knowledge of the paranormal world. I knew it would crush me to let Jacob go, but I had no choice. He didn't understand at all.

"Well, if that's the way you want to act, I can't have you in my life. You can wait as long as you want, but I am not going to change my mind. I love Edward, i've made my choice, and that's final. Why are you having such a hard time understanding that I do not love you that way! And I can garuntee that I will never love you that way! I've made my decision, and if you can't respect that, then you shouldn't be around. You're a very shallow friend," I said. And with one last breath, I said in a strong firm voice, "Goodbye, Jacob."

And with those last words, I spun around and started running home. I kept running until I reached the borderline. I pulled out Edward's cell phone and told him to pick me up. I hung up and started walking down the road. I could've sworn that I heard a wolf howling in the distance.
