Jake and Bella have been together since they were 14. Now the summer after graduation Jake is working on a cannabis farm trimming for Cullen. Meanwhile Bella is realizing there is so much more to life then staying with your boyfriend who's been cheating on her with all her friends for as long as she can remember. Will Edward manage to show her a better life. One that she never allowed herself to think of.

There's going to be a lot of cannabis talk. I'm a firm believer in natural remedies. I also have play lists that I suggest to go along with the story.

The only thing I legally own is my dog a lot of books and even more music and not all of that was legally obtained.

NYC Present Day

Where it Ended.

It's my birthday ,I'm turning 23 tonight, but right now I'm hiding in my bedroom on a mission.

I can feel the bass of the music through the floor. I hum Leslie Gore's song as I start the process to roll my birthday blunt. I get up and go to the bathroom to throw away the dutch guts and grab a glass of cold water to wrap the leaf around. When I come back, I see my best guy, he's breaking up more buds to add to the all ready filled dish of flowers that is to go in the blunt. I sit down pass him the dutch and let him roll it. I sit down and take a bong hit while I watch his nimble fingers.

I love your hands, your lips, your legs even. I love the little giggle you lets out when we kiss under our blanket forts. I love us.

You light the blunt and put your arm around me.

"Happy Birthday Darling" You lean down and blow smoke in my mouth and down my lungs, I kiss you then exhale. You smile at me. I grin back, the euphoria of my love for you disgustingly obvious.

"Come on Birthday Darling, it's time to face your kingdom" You grabs my hand blunt finished, as we head back into the party that is being thrown in my honor.

People start singing "happy birthday " in every tune you could think of

my little brother and his friends wrapping it up on their knees as a barbershop quartet. He never fails to make me laugh. I blow out my candles as I feel you hands wrap around my waist.

My cheeks hurt as I look around to everyone I love. You kiss my aching cheeks. "Best Birthday Ever" I whisper to you.

The night carries on. The playlist is nothing but music I love and that makes us all reminiscent of high school. The best part about tonight The home town house party theme is a big hit and we all miss it We all drink and dance all night. I see my Alice drinking a brass monkey.

No matter the fact that she's one of the most sought after artists in the world my best girl can't stay away from a 40 oz.

I look around and all the people I love.I am blissed out like no other. You come over to me drink in hand. I stand so you can sit. I sip your drink and I know it's for me.

You hate tequila. "Are you trying to get me naked, Blue?" You chuckle.

"Doll face, you're wearing leather pants I'm trying to keep me from kicking all our friends out and taking you on the kitchen table"

I shudder, feeling my wetness pool and grind on your lap. "Well then Baby Blue, lets go back to the closet."

The closet is where I come to smoke. it's connected to my bedroom and bathroom like a closet

The room is lined with couches and in the center of the room looks like it's a drink cart it's a cannabis cart.

Flowers, concentrates,matches anything and everything.

I throw you on the couch and turn on the shower.

I can hear the music and I can feel the beat and sway my hips. You grab my hips and dance behind me.

Your hands sliding between my sequined top

and leather pants. I turn around. You smile at me. Brown meets Blue. I bite my lip. You groan and pounce.

I feel you against my heat through my pants. I smile through our kiss. It's a battle fulled by tequila and desire.

I feel your thumbs on my hips and grab your belt buckle as you pull my pants down and my shirt up. Foreplay is unnecessary as we have been teasing each other for hours.

Your mouth is on mine and I walk us naked toward the shower. You pick me up and climb inside .

It's hot and I moan as you slam inside me. "This is Mine" you growl. With every pump inside me, I hear you chant "mine" "mine" "mine".

I claw your back and let my hips meet yours on every thrust. You rub my clit and I bite your neck as I come on your cock. You slam me against the wall of the shower like you're trying to climb inside me and come, claiming once again. I twitch and mash my lips together trying to regain feeling in my lips.

I start to chuckle as you you turn the water off and allow me to touch the floor. I grab the towels off the warmers and wrap us up.

I'm drying my hair and looking at you in the mirror. "You've got dirty in your eyes,Boy" I say, smirking.

"You think they'll notice?" he laughs.

"Don't they always?" I reply.

Ever since we were finally able to be together when I was 20 we haven't been able to keep our hands off each other since.

It's a re-occurring joke at our expense among our friends.

"Maybe this will distract them" I turn around and you have a large emerald ring surrounded by diamonds sitting on a platinum band sitting in your palm.

" I can't believe you're asking me this when I'm naked." " It wouldn't be us if I didn't" You look me in the eyes and I feel the tears coming.

"I loved you before I knew what it meant and had to steal you away to prove it to you, will you please do me the extreme solid and let me keep you?

"Of course" I breath out. He picks me up and slides the ring on my finger. He looks at me and says " You know I almost said "Marriage,you wanna?"

At this I laugh and the boy who was my best friend for as long as I could remember needing him.

The same boy who stole me from his "best friend" and saved me from a life I could have drowned in.

Where it started.

Humboldt California Summer 2005

I walk out of work and check my messages. 2 calls and a text from Jake. He's at a party and wants me to pick him up.

It's all ready 130 in the morning and I just got out of work. All I want to do is go home to my dog a blunt and a bath but, I am a push over and know I'm going to

pick him up. I drive to the now familiar address and text him that I'm there. After 10 minutes I have no response so I walk into the party still in my work uniform. I say hi to familiar faces and head to the kitchen as I look around the house for Jake. I see a guy wearing a slayer shirt and flannel he's alone at the counter rolling up.

He looks at me and I immediately want to touch the beard on his face. "Hey man sweet beard do you know where Jake Black is" I hear myself saying he looks up and the sides of his mustache twitch. He rubs his hands down the length of it and nods. "Shower, I think" Before I can say anything else Jake comes down the stairs hair wet and looks surprised. "Oh good you're here, you took forever lets go" I sigh and wave good-bye to the bearded stranger and close the door behind me following Jake. My jog down the driveway to my car makes me miss Lauren Mallory walk down the stairs with equally wet hair and a smirk on her face.

This is my first story. It's not beta'd and hopefully as this continues I will gain speed and find a beta Please review so I can figure if I'm wasting my time or not.
