Promise

Disclaimer for all chapters:
I do not in any way own Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, or anything otherwise. I don't own a shiny silver Volvo, or anything like that. The amazing Stephenie Meyer does. I do, however, own the plot of the story.

I used a few of the things Jacob said when he told Bella the legends about The Cold Ones in Twilight.

Bella's point of view:

The fire blared in front of me sending smoke into the air in long waves and swirls. Even though I was only inches from the fire, I was shivering. Painful tremors rocked through my body, and my teeth clattered together, sending little clicks around the group. Nobody seemed to notice. Nobody, that is, besides Jacob.

Jacob Black's dad, Billy Black, was always the one who told everybody in La Push legends and old stories. I found them interesting. I could imagine my eyes sparkling with curiosity. I would have probably went inside, away from the cold, if he wasn't telling a story about The Cold Ones. I was extremely curious about his new story. I went week after week to listen to him speak, but all of his stories were usually repeats.

Jacob was sitting on the other side of the bonfire, watching me with curious eyes. His eyes weren't curious about the story, though. He's heard it a million and one times. No, he was curious as to why I was scrunched up in a ball making clicking noises and shivering madly.

I smiled a little to tell him I was okay, but a shiver made me tremble again. I should have really brought a blanket like the couple next to me. They were wrapped tightly in a blue cotton comforter, keeping each other warm while my toes were turning blue and threatening to fall off.

"You see, the cold ones are the natural enemies of the wolf.." Billy continues his story. His voice husky and interesting. Yes. This legend is definitely worth loosing my toes.

I feel warmth fall over me like a blanket, except it is much heavier, and harder. I gasp quietly, and the couple next to me turns to see what was wrong. I smile apologetically and they turn around to ignore me.

I look at what had fallen over me, and found warm arms wrapped around me shoulders from the back. I turn around swiftly, hoping it wasn't Charlie telling me it was time to go. In stead, Jacob Black smiled back at me. I couldn't help but mirror his expression.

"Cold?" He whispers and I smile larger. He moves so he is sitting on my side, keeping his warm arms around me, and pulls me against his chest. The cold still tingles on my body, but it's just like a ghost. I feel much warmer, maybe I won't have to loose my toes tonight.

"Just a little." I whisper back sarcastically. I cuddled into his chest and sighed in complete contentment. Then I pulled my attention back to Billy and his story.

"They claimed that they didn't hunt humans. They supposedly were somehow able to prey on animals instead." Billy says and the flame licks away at the log, leaving colorful figures. It's breathtaking.

When the story was finished I yawned once and stretched. It has to be about eleven at least. We came out here pretty late. Charlie would probably be waiting at Billy's. He didn't like coming to listen to the legends too much for some reason.

Jacob switched his arms off of my shoulders to just holding my hand. I still feel the heat radiating off of his skin. It's comforting.

Jacob Black and I have been best friends since my mother moved away when I was a baby. I've known him all of his life. It was pretty nice, though. Because our fathers got along well. They went fishing every Saturday, sometimes more, leaving us to hang out.

People always accused us of dating. That's not the case. We didn't even mind people talking about us like that. It wasn't their business but if they wanted to be nosy they could.

Our dads like to joke around and say we're inseparable. I didn't argue with the accusation, but it still made me blush. Our dads had also already planned out our wedding for the future. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at just the memory. I mean really! We're only fourteen..

"Hey Bells." Charlie says with a yawn. He takes one quick glance at mine and Jacob's intertwined hands and smiles happily. Sam Uley wheels Billy in at the exact same time and his smile looks almost as big as Charlie's. "Ready to go home?"

I moan and stomp my foot. Jacob chuckles beside me, but I ignore him. He could at least try to help.

"I don't know, dad." I call him dad when I want something. He must have realized because his eyebrow shoots up and he glares. "I was kind of hoping I could stay the night here."

His glare gets colder, and Billy's smile gets larger. I can even see Sam smiling beside him. Charlie looks around at every bodies face, and stops directly on Jacob's. I see Jacob take a deep breath out of the side of my eye.

"Yeah, Charlie. We were going to work on a project for school." Jacob tells him slyly. It wasn't a lie, but I doubted we would want to do homework tonight. We usually watched movies and ate popcorn on Friday nights.

I nodded and Charlie sighed. His head dropped and he bobbed his head.

"I should have just left earlier if you guys were just going to pull this on me. I got fishing to do in the morning." He said bitterly and stood up strait. I smiled and Jacob hugged me, literally pulling me off the ground, and swung me around in circles. I giggled wildly and he chuckled along with me.

"But that project better get done." Charlie warned and we stopped swinging. I opened my mouth to talk, but Billy interrupted me.

"I'll make sure they get it done." He said and mine and Jacob's smiles disappeared. Charlie was convinced enough, and left after giving me a goodbye kiss on the cheek that caused me to blush scarlet.

The silence rang through the air and Billy motioned towards the kitchen.

"Come on, Sam. I'm hungry." Chuckling, Sam took him to the kitchen in a rush and the door closed behind them. I let my shoulders slump as I turned to Jacob.

"Well, this sucks."

"Yeah." He said crinkling his nose like something smelled back. I bit my bottom lip and rocked back and fourth on my heels.

He smiled darkly.

I tried to keep my voice casual. "So what are we even doing?"

"Movies." He murmured almost silently. I wasn't sure if I'd heard him correctly.

"Billy said we can't Jacob. He's going to make sure we work on our.. err.. project." Honestly I'd forgotten what project we were supposed to be doing. Science class may have been fun, but when it comes to homework I turn my head the other way.

"Well, we would be, but I finished today before you came over. I'm always prepared." He said proudly. I gaped with a smile playing at the corners of my lips and jumped on him.

"Jacob!" I squealed. He grabbed me around the stomach so I wouldn't fall to the ground. He set me down gently and I hugged him again. "You have got to be one of the- no. The definite most amazingly awesome person in the entire world!"

He ducked away from my screams and covered his ears.

"Okay, okay! You're going to make me deaf Bells." He said, but he was joking. I could tell by the playful smile on his lips. I finally let my death grip around his neck go -he's almost a whole foot smaller than me- and stood up strait.

"Well.. Movie?"

He nodded and winked.

"I even got a new movie." He announced and I sighed. His usual movie consisted of gore or violence. Action occasionally.

I was wrong.

"The notebook, Jake?" I ask when the movie starts. I smile. He remembered..

"You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever

had. And no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday

we were together was the greatest day of my life"

I smile thinking of Jacob. It may sound cheesy but.. He's like a sun to me. Everything is dark without him. Like when I hang out with him all day, and I have to go home. When I get home there's nothing I want to do more then lay down and sleep. Because the sooner I wake up, the sooner I get to see him.

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird." Noah says on the movie and to my surprise Jacob laughs. I jump and turn towards him.

"What?!" I hiss. He's still laughing when he wipes a tear out of his eye.

"T-that was cheesy." He said and starts laughing again. I sigh, and roll over on the couch. What was I saying before? Stupid boys..

Seconds later Jacob is shaking me.

"Wake up, Bella. Wake up." He whispers into my ear and I groan. I can't tell if I'm asleep or awake. Maybe it's one of those weird dreams when you think you're awake, or one of those day dreams when you think you're asleep. "Don't make me carry you."

When I don't reply he lifts me up and I wake up all the way. I gasp and Jacob smiles down at me with a big goofy grin.

"Put me down." I order. He shakes his head and I glare. "I am perfectly capable of walking."

"You're tired." He points out the obvious.

"And?!"

"And I'm taking you to go to bed." He points out the obvious, again.

With a sigh I lay against his chest and fall back asleep, in Jacob's arms.

I think that's how The Notebook quotes go.. I don't even know if I put them in order. They really had no point, just sort of trying to fill the chapter.

No, Jacob and Bella are not in love. They are close friends. Best friends.

The Cullen's are not in the story.. Yet.

Bella lives in La Push at the moment. She will move to Forks soon.

This chapter was pretty much a preview of the story.. They're only fourteen, and in the rest of the story they will be older. I might start off with them being sixteen almost seventeen.

Will they fall in love later? Maybe. I can't tell you that.. Although you probably guessed by now.

Reviews would be appreciated. :)
