Chapter 1: Never Knew I Needed You

(Bella's P.O.V.)

Edward and I had been dating for a year. We met in Junior year of high school by being lab partners in Science. Even though Edward is the love of my life, Jacob Emphriam Black has been my best friend and man of my life for the last few years. Jacob and I hadn't talked in two months because he was upset at me for dating Edward and I didn't agree with him. There isn't a single second I'm not constantly thinking of my best friend. We have been friends for two years and have always shared everything with each other.

"Love, you there?" Edward asked me with a smirk.

'Did I seriously just space out again? I think I need to stop by Jakes...I cant keep going on like this. I need him. I'm not me without Jake' I thought to myself.

"Ya, just spacing out cause I'm tired" I lied...truth was that I just wanted to get to Jakes as fast as I could the minute Edward left. Edward didn't like Jake at all, so it made things kind of complicated.

"Thats fine. I will leave so you can get some sleep sweetheart. Remember we have a date tomorrow night" he smiled at me, as he kissed on the forehead.

"How can I forget? I love you" I stated as I kissed him on the lips.

We pulled apart, and I walked him to my front door. I waited ten minutes after he left to leave Charlie a note, and drive to La Push.

(Jacob's P.O.V.)

It has been two months without my lovely Bells. She is my best friend/the women I am in love with. I have loved her since we were little kids. We only became best friends two years ago. I tried calling these last two months, but than I would remember our fight and how I had pushed her away. Once I would remembered, I would hang up the phone thinking on how I was an idiot.

I had really messed everything up. Just because I didn't approve of her boyfriend didn't mean I should of opened my mouth and yelled at her. Sometimes I open my mouth before I think things through.

I was standing in my kitchen when I heard Bells big red truck. 'I must be dreaming' I thought as I ran onto the porch outside my front door. There before my eyes was my Bells.

I ran at the truck, and opened the drivers door. She unbuckled and let me pull her out of the car. "I am so sorry babe. I didn't mean to yell at you, on top of talking bad about Edward. Please forgive me? I have been going nuts without you" I said as I set her on the ground.

"Jake, I'm sorry also. I shouldn't have stormed out on our friendship. I forgive you, and I have been going insane with out my best friend/the man of my life" Bells smiled up at me.

I smiled down at her, and before I know it we both had our mouths close to each other. I paused waiting to see if she would pull away, but she didn't. I then put my lips against hers and kissed. We went on like that for a few minutes before we pulled apart. 'That was the most perfect kiss. It is the end of the world as we know it' I thought.

"I'm sorry Bells, I shouldn't have kissed you...it's just that I am in love with you. I have loved you since we were kids." I apologized.

"You're in... love with me?" Bells asked surprised, well looking up at me with those loving eyes.

"Yes I am Isabella Marie Swan. I want to have a life with you" I said truthfully.

Before I knew what was happening, she threw her mouth back on mine. I wrapped her arms around my neck, and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I was walking us back into my fathers house and into my bedroom. 'Good thing dad is out for the day' I thought to myself.

(Bella's P.O.V.)

'Isabella, what are you doing? You have a loving boyfriend and yet you are kissing your best friend.' I yelled in my head to myself. As I was kissing Jake I started thinking about my feelings for Edward. No matter how much I tried think about how I loved Edward, I realized I loved Jake a million times more.

'You need to say goodbye to Edward, and tell Jake how you feel. ' I told myself. 'You were miserable without seeing Jake or talking to him for two months. You're not going to be able to ever do that again.'

I pulled out of the kiss cause I couldn't breathe anymore, and I wanted to catch up with my Jacob. The thought of that made me smile.

"What are you smiling about?" Jake asked.

"Promise you wont do anything tell I get everything out?" I asked.

"I'll try my hardest Bells" he replied. I looked up at him with true and loving eyes.

"I have been going nuts without seeing you or talking to you for two months. I have been thinking about you every day. I thought about our fight, and realized it was so stupid and it was my fault" I paused for a breath. "I came here behind Edward's back, cause I wanted and needed to see you. I wasn't expecting to kiss you but that was the best thing that could of ever happened to me"

I looked up at Jake, and he was beaming at me with love. He stayed quiet and let me go on.

"When you kissed me it made me realize that I had feelings for you that I didn't realize I had. When you told me you love me, and want to have a life with me; it made me think about how without you I am nothing and I am unhappy. It made me realize that I love Edward but I love you a million times more. I need..." I was trying to finish my sentence but I was cut off by Jake kissing me.

I pulled back after a few minutes with a big smile on my face. "You promised to not interfere mister" I playfully scolded as I pointed my finger at his chest.

"I said try" he said as he made quotation marks with his fingers. "You mean it Bells? You love me a million times more than Edward?"

"Yes,if you would have let me finish my sentence" I said as I stuck my tongue out at him in a playful manner. "I want to be with you. You are my other half,you are my soul-mate, the one I can tell everything to. Your my protector, friend, and now boyfriend if you will have me. I am sorry I didn't realize it earlier. After we hang, I'm going over to Edward's to tell him that I am breaking up with him."

"Bells, the minute Edward and you are officially over I will gladly with honor and love have you become my girlfriend. I never stopped loving you or thinking of you in these last two months. It is not your fault that we had a fight, it's mine. Every time I went to call you, I couldn't because I would remember how it was my fault that I had ruined our friendship. So lets just drop the fight and move on. I want to start a new"

"That sounds like a good idea...so now that we talked that out, what do you want to do?" I asked with a smile.

"Want to hang in the garage and just talk and listen to music?" my Jake asked.

I agreed at once, and we went out to the garage and turned the radio to one of Washington's radio stations that played today and oldies songs. Jake was working on his motorcycle well I sat in the drivers seat of the Rabbit. The song 'Never Knew I Needed' by Ne-yo came on.

(ooh) for the way you changed my plans
for being the perfect distraction
for the way you took the idea that i have
of everything that i wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing (oh yeah)
for the ending of my first begin
(ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah yeah)
and for the rare and unexpected friend
(ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah yeah)
for the way you're something that i never choose
but at the same time something i don't wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again (oh oh)

you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so now it's so clear i need you here always

I sat and listened to the lyrics, and realize this described Jake and I perfectly. That this was exactly how I felt and this was the perfect time to come on right after I confessed that I loved him. I looked at Jake with love and started singing this song to him. He dropped everything he was doing and came over to sit by me as I sang.

my accidental happily (ever after) (oh oh oh)
the way you smile and how you comfort me (with your laughter)
i must admit you were not a part of my book
but now if you open it up and take a look
you're the beginning and the end of every chapter (oh oh)

Jake held my hand and we looked into each others eyes and started singing this song to each other.

you're the best thing i never knew i needed (oh)
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed (that i needed)
so now it's so clear i need you here always

who knew that I could be here (who knew that i could be here oh oh)
so unexpectedly (so unexpectedly oh oh)
 undeniably happy (hey)
said with you right here, right here next to me (oh)

girl you're the..
you're the best thing i never knew i needed (said i needed oh oh)
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed (needed oh)
so now it's so clear i need you here always
 baby baby
now it's so clear i need you here always

"Bells, this song is perfect for us. Do you mind if I make it our song?" Jake asked with all the love in the world as he stared into my eyes.

"That would be perfect." I smiled. "Jake, you're the best thing that I never knew I needed"

"I love you Bells" Jake smiled as he leaned down and kissed me,

"I love you too, forever and always"
