Chapter 1: Phantom of the Opera

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse. They belong to Stephenie Meyer.

Ever since Edward left me that day in the woods, nothing has been the same. My life shattered, that was until I met Jacob again. I never knew him much, but he was there for me. I knew that he loved me, and I had feelings for him too, but not like that. I always thought Edward would come back. Well, for a year and a half, I spent time with Jake and waited for Edward. He never came back. That's when I gave up on him, and let my heart lead me. I began to love Jake. I became a wolf girl, just like Emily. I spent most of my time in La Push with Jake. I knew he was younger, but not by much.

We went out for two years. Then Jake asked me to marry him. I knew right away that this was the ticket to true happiness again. I said yes, and within six months, we were married.

That's where we are now. We have been married for five years. It has been nine years since Edward left. me and Jake live in La Push with our son, Embry, named after his god father. Jake thought of the name. Embry was so happy, that he couldn't control himself. Embry is three. I do plays now, and Jake works on cars like usually. The play I am doing right now is the Phantom of the Opera, I am playing Christine.

"Bella, come one, your going to be late." Jake said as he was trying to get me to hurry up. I was late for my practice, but that was only because I couldn't find Embry some clothes.

"I'm coming. It's not my fault of most of Embry's clothes are in the washer." Okay, so maybe it was, but that was besides the point. I picked up Embry and all three of us headed for the car. We still had Jake's Rabbit.

Jake and Embry love coming to my practices. I never even knew that La Push had a theater group. I have always loved to sing, mainly opera, but I never let anyone know. Jake heard me one day singing along with a CD and he made me try out. Ever since then, I have been doing plays. That was about four years ago. Right before I got pregnant with Embry.

This was my first practice for this play and I didn't even know who was all in the play. All the characters had different days to try out. When I got there, I almost collapsed. Jake was there to catch me like usual.

"Bella, what's the matter?" Jake hasn't noticed yet.

"Look who is one the stage in the Phantom costume." I told him.

"Blood sucker." Jake hissed through clenched teeth. It was the face I thought I would never see again. Edward Cullen.

"Jake, I don't know if I'll be able to do this. I really don't." I told him.

"It will be okay Bella. Just act as if he is a normal person who you have never met." He assured me.

"I'll try."

"Ah, Bella, you are here." The director said. That caught Edward's attention. I would of thought that he would of noticed I was here, when he heard Jake's mind.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find any clothes for Embry." I told him. He knew Embry and Jake and loved them both.

"It's alright, we forgive you." He told me. "Bella, we have a new actor to play the Phantom. H e is young, but I thought he was perfect for the part. This is Edward Cullen. Edward, this is Bella Black." He 'introduced' us. I'll admit, Edward looked amazing. It was hurting me so much to see him.

"Hello Edward." I said after I caught my breath.

"Hello Bella." He said back. I can see the happiness in his eyes, the happiness to see me.

"Edward, I would like you to meet my family, they come to every rehearsal. My husband Jake and our son Embry."

"Hello Jake."

"Hi."

"Bella, I was wondering. Can I see you in private? I need to talk to you about something." I heard Jake growl.

"Yes, just give me a second." I told him. "I'll be fine, I promise." I whispered to Jake, knowing that Edward could hear me. Then I gave Jake a kiss, to make Edward jealous and also because I love his kisses.

I led Edward outside, everyone else was inside and it was too cold for anyone to come outside.

"Bella, it is so nice to see you again." He told me as soon as we got outside.

"Edward, please don't. I have a perfect life now, why did you come back now?"

"I thought that you might have moved, or if you didn't, that you would forgive me." He said with pleading eyes.

"Well, I don't forgive you. Edward you took my heart away. Jake gave me the extra heart that he had and I took it. It has been nine years. I think it's a little too late. I will never forgive you, you hurt me so much that day. Do you realized what you did?" I asked almost in tears.

"I do. I'm really sorry. You just couldn't stay away from trouble could you?" He asked. "Marring a werewolf, what were you thinking?" Now he seemed like he was getting mad.

"I was thinking that I was getting my life back. I was finding love again. He loved me, even when I was damaged goods. He loved me, unlike you do. You can say that you do, but it's to late to love me." Then I turned and walked back inside to Jake.

"Are you okay?" Jake asked me when I got to him.

"Yeah. I'll be alright."

"Okay everyone, I want to just practice the songs right now." The director said. Edward then came in. "I want Bella and Edward at the front and everyone one else further down." We had those long rectangular tables, like those ones that usually in a cafeteria. Edward sat across from me.

"Okay, I want to practice 'think of me' first. This song only has Christine and Raul." Then the director, Josh, started the music. I knew this play by heart. I barley had to look at the music he gave to us.

"Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said good bye." I went one. We were using the music from the movie, not the play.

We practiced 'Think of me' and 'The Phantom of the Opera'. After practice, I was the first one to leave. Well, me, Jake, and Embry. We went to the Rabbit, but Edward was there waiting for me.

"What do you want Leech?" Jake asked.

"I wanted to say sorry to Bella once again, Mutt."

"Okay, this is enough. We need to get in the car, Embry is getting cold." I said, I could feel him starting to shake in my arms. When I noticed that Edward wasn't going to move, I gave Embry to Jake. I trusted Jake, he could control himself better now. "Listen, I don't want to do this, okay? I ma going to work with you in the play, acting like I never knew you. Okay? I wont let you hurt me again. I told Edward.

"Fine, I just wanted to also wanted to tell you that Alice said 'hi'." I knew that Alice would see me in one of her visions sooner or later.

"Well tell her, I have no idea who she is. I never knew anyone name Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie or Edward." I knew that would hurt the family, but it's there turn to get hurt, not mine. With that Edward looked at me, if he could cry, I'm sure he would of. Then he moved and let Jake put Embry in his car seat. I moved to the other side of the car and got into the passenger seat.

"Are you going to be okay?" Jake asked on our way home.

"Yea, I think so. I know that is going to hurt the Cullen's, mainly Alice and Esme, but they need to get hurt for once, not me."

"You are right. You don't need to get hurt anymore." Jake said and took my hand. I loved him so much. And his warmth came in handy for days like this.

"I love you Jake." I told him.

"I love you too." He leaned over and gave me a quick kiss. I loved his kisses. They were sweet and warm, just like him. Then we got home.

We got a house in the woods, not far from Sam and Emily's. It was small, but bigger than Jake's old home. It was a place that I was glad to call home. It was warm and gentle.

On the way home, Embry fell asleep. Jake grabbed him out of his car seat, that way he wouldn't be so cold, and took him up to his room.

I waited for Jake on the couch in the living room. It was about eight. Embry like to go to sleep early for some reason. I never understood that. I didn't hear Jake come in and when he wrapped his warm arms around me, I jumped.

"Jake, you scared me." I accused him.

"I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" He asked with a playful smile on his face.

"Of course." I said and leaned up to give me a kiss. Jake then came around the couch and sat me on his lap, I then rested my head on his chest, I was very tired.

"I cant believe that he is back." Jake said.

"Me either. Why would he just come all of a sudden? I asked.

"I don't know, maybe he….I'm not sure. Now come on. You need some sleep." He lifted me bridal style and took me to our room. He laid me on our bed and then he laid next to me. We had to get a bed specially made, so that way his feet or head didn't go over the edge.

"Jake, can you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Anything for you."

"Can you sing to me. I love your voice." I wasn't the only one who could sing. His voice was deep and warm. It was just amazing.

"Fine." He hated it when I asked him to sing to me. "I would expect you to hate to be sung to sleep, considering… Well, you know."

"I know, but you voice is just amazing. I could listen to your voice for ever." I said with a smile. He then started singing 'Boomerang' By Steven Strait. Jake's voice sounded almost exactly like Steven's, but Jake's was better. By the end of the song I was a sleep. But not before mumbling 'I love you' to Jake.

What do you think so far? If you read my sorry chapter on 'love forbidden' I know I said that this was like 8 pages long, but I cut a lot, I didn't like it. But, how do you like it so far. I think I'm going to like this one a lot because I like Jake a lot better than Edward. BTW: If you fans of Jake and you have mypace, add this. It's a Jacob fan myspace. It is:

hope you like it. It was just started, so give it some credit okay?
