"Prom Crasher After All"
Hey there! This is my first story on FanFiction. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have coming up with it!
Story: Takes place at the end of Twilight after Bella is released from the hospital. The events and relationships of characters beyond that point is different than in the books.
Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns the Twilight theme and the characters but the story idea is all mine as a true Bella/Jacob fan.
Chapter One – A week after James' attack:
BPOV:
I remember James vividly. Everything about him from his cold, hard skin, to his voice, smell, and most especially – his blood thirsty eyes. For the past week I have been plagued by dreams and thoughts all pertaining to him. Every night I see his face, and every night his voice haunts my dreams.
In the months following the attack, I had a lot of time to think – probably due to my lack of sleep. I have been afraid to close my eyes, in fear that I will relive the worst moments of my life. Edward didn't know about my new doubts and my constant recurring nightmares. I thanked God every day for once that he was unable to read my thoughts, and even more importantly, I thanked Rosalie and Emmett for forcing Edward to leave me alone at night and keep him away while I got "rest." They knew about my nightmares and Rosalie has been giving me a great deal of comfort as I have been facing doubts about the life I was once so sure about – about immortality.
It was during my discussions with Rose and Emm that I had begun to realize that I didn't just have a small amount of doubt, but my doubts were significant and laced with fear. However, with Rose behind me, I was finally able to get some rest. I know Alice has been hurt and confused by our sudden bond and friendship. However, I needed Rose during this time; I needed her by my side to help me with the thoughts that would not leave my head. Having her and Rose behind me, helping me make sense of my feelings, made my struggles a little more bearable.
Sadly, Rose and Emm couldn't be there with me every second of every day, and when Edward allowed me some time to myself, I allowed my thoughts to wander. During this time, my thoughts wandered to Jacob. I wondered where he was, what he was doing, how he was, if he missed me, if he ever thought about me – the list goes on and on. I hadn't seen him much since our walk of First Beach when he told me about who the Cullen's really were without even knowing he did so. I missed my childhood friend. I had been so distracted with Edward in my life that I completely dismissed my Jacob since I returned to Forks.
Whoa. Did I just think that? MY Jacob? Where did that come from? I suppose I also thought of him as my best friend when we were younger. It was thoughts like these that had me questioning my decision of immortality as of late. Along with my new fears of the world the Cullen's live in, I am not ready to give up the family and friends I just got back a mere few months ago.
I wanted to talk to Jacob; I wanted to call him and hang out with him. I just did not know how to. I knew Edward had some weird unknown issue with him and was always tense when I brought up his name. And even with my healing injuries, Edward was about to put me through one of the most painful experiences of my life, other than the attack – prom. Tomorrow evening I would be forced to sit while Alice dressed and made me up to her liking and dance with Edward and socialize at an event I always dreaded. I could not believe I, Bella Swan, was attending the Forks High prom. My only saving grace – Rose and Emm would be there the entire time. They would be my saviors. Boy did I love them to death. Little did I know the surprise in store for me that just may make the prom experience worthwhile. Little did I know that the boy who had consumed my thoughts quite recently was closer than I knew.
