Bella's New Life
Chapter 1
I woke up and rubbed my eyes. It had been such a long night. I had to just lay there in my room. I couldn't believe how stupid I was yesterday. I was so worried about Jake being out on patrol looking for Victoria that I just wasn't thinking rationally. If I couldn't be with Jacob then I had to hear the voice, his voice. What better way to be reckless than going cliff diving? I owe Jacob so much and more. If he hadn't come looking for me on the beach. Well, I don't know. I remembered what it felt like standing on the edge of the cliff. Then I heard his voice. "Bella you promised" I thought to myself that why should I keep my promises if he doesn't have to keep his. Then I heard it someone yelling my name from down the road. "Bella Bella stop what are you doing" I looked around and I saw Jake running towards me. Shit! How am I going to explain this? When I finally got Jake to calm down I explained to him that I was bored and needed something to occupy my mind. He made me promise to never try cliff diving alone again and so I did. When I came back from my reverie, I knew I had to go and see Jacob to see how he is doing. Maybe the pack found Victoria last night. A girl can hope can't she?
So I got up and grabbed some clothes to put on, a pair of jeans and a knit top. I went to the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water hitting my body felt so good. My body just melted in the heat of the hot water. It felt so good. I got out of the shower got dressed and ran a brush through my hair.
When I went downstairs Charlie was up stirring around the kitchen. I figured I better make some breakfast before he tried to make something himself. That would be a sight. The last time he tried to cook he had tried to make spaghetti. He had put the jar of spaghetti sauce in the microwave lid and all and he had put the noodles in a pot and hadn't stirred them at all. I laughed just remembering it. I startled him and he asked me "what are you laughing at?" I told him "nothing" I lied. I asked Charlie "so are you hungry" he replied with "yea" and so I got to work making some eggs and bacon for breakfast. We ate in silence except for my dad telling me that he was going over to Sue Clearwater's today to help her with the funeral arrangements. I told him "that's fine because I am going to go see Jacob in a little while after I get some of stuff done around here". He said "okay" and grabbed his keys and left.
I decided it was early enough so I started some laundry and did some cleaning. When I finished I looked at what time it was and I saw that it was almost 11:30. So I decided I would go to LaPush to see Jacob and also to see there was any news on Victoria.
So here I was driving down the same road as always on my way to LaPush to see Jacob. The best kindest person, I knew. I couldn't ask for a better friend. When I pulled up I saw Jacob in his make-shift garage working on his Rabbit. When he heard me pull up he came over to my truck with the biggest smile on his face. This was the Jacob I knew and loved. He was my Jacob when he was wearing this smile. He wasn't some half bread of him and Sam put together. Don't get me wrong I know Sam was only trying to help Jacob but I miss the care free way it used to be with Jacob before. Jacob pulled me up in one of his big bear hugs. I still surprises me at how big he has gotten and strong too. "Jake Jake can't breathe" I told him. He put me down and said how excited he was to see me. I asked him "so did you and the pack have any luck last night". "Nope she keeps taking off as soon as we catch her scent. If we could catch her unexpected, we could end this" I told Jake "just be careful I don't think I could go on if something happened to you". He laughed his big laugh and I said "do you mind Jacob Black telling me what is so funny?" "Oh Bella you worry too much. The whole reason of our existence is to destroy vampires." Still Jake I worry about you and the pack your risking everything to protect me" "Don't worry my Bella we will catch her and this will all be over with."
I asked Jacob "So do you want to go for a walk on the beach with me today?" He said "sure just let me change into some clean clothes and we can go."
While I was waiting for Jacob I stood by my truck thinking about how different things are with Jacob. Everything is so easy and comfortable, and there it was my epiphany. Maybe the reason I am getting better is because of Jake. I hadn't had the need to hear his voice as much lately. Okay so there was the cliff diving incident but that was more brought on about my worry for Jacob them missing Ed... him. Then it hit me like a ton of rocks I love Jacob Black. Not like a brother or a just a friend but more, much much more. Then he was back asking me "You ready to go?" "Sure Jake lets go." So we were off walking hand in hand to our beach to our tree.
