Chapter 1- BPOV
"HEY BELLS! ARE YOU READY TO GO?!" Jacob Black yelled at the top of his voice from outside. Smiling I leaned outside my window and shouted, "ONE MINUTE YOU IMPATIENT DOG!" I could hear the pounding of his Rabbits stereo and his god awful wailing. This time we were definitely going to get a complaint from another neighbour when Charlie gets back. We go through this routine practically every morning when Charlie is on a fishing trip which is most of the time lately. I think he is finally relieved that he can go and have some fun with my boyfriend's dad Billy Black without me doing something reckless. It was a nice day today and the sun was even threatening to peek through the dull blanket of clouds that covers Forks 99% of the time. I flew down the stairs and passed the coat stand near the front door, my hand hesitating on my parka, knowing my luck I should probably take one. I grabbed it half-heartedly on my way out caused the whole coat stand to fall down creating a loud crash. It startled me and I leaped backwards. Jacob stared towards me and picked the coat stand up laughing. "You know Bells, if you really didn't like the stand why didn't you just say!" Jacob asked humorously. I'm glad my clumsiness entertains some people. He put an arm around my waist and led me out to the car locking up behind us. I slided into the passenger and turned to Jacob who had a huge grin plastered to his face. "So what do you wanna do today?" He asked me. "Shopping in Seattle? I need some clothes as Charlie decided to throw all my old ones away when I was sick." "I never thought I'd see the day when you asked me to go shopping, but shopping it is!" He chuckled putting the Rabbit in gear.
Once he started driving I put our favourite CD on and we both hummed along. The sun didn't decide it wanted to make much of an appearance and now had hid one again behind the dark clouds. I couldn't remember if I picked up my coat in the mess I'd created or not. "Jake can you pull over for a minute at the service station please? I'm starving." I asked and was replied to with a nod. He dropped me of in front of the entrance to McDonalds and said to grab his usual too while he went and got some gas. I got lunch and waited for the familiar rumble of the Rabbit.
An hour later and we had arrived and he parked up in a quieter parking lot in Seattle. When we got out a flashy black Mercedes caught my eye. Crap. Alice! She must have seen when I got food! I turned my head fully to look where she was standing to apologise and saw her leaning her body casually against Carlisle's car with her arms crossed and a pout on her face. How did I even think not to invite her? Perhaps I was just not use to her being around after such a long time with her gone. I walked over to her with a pissed of Jacob trailing after me. He might have forgiven the Cullens but he still wasn't besties with them. "Well, thought we could sneak of shopping for the day without Best friend and Big sister Alice did we?" Crap. She really was pissed off. "Alice I'm so sorry I didn't even think to invite you I'm so forgetful it never even crossed my mind I'm so sorry." My version of an apology was pathetic but Alice didn't even seem to care. That bright smile of joy crept along her pixie face and she instantly took my hand and I desperately grabbed onto Jacobs hand to while she pulled me and Jacob of the biggest and busiest mall in Seattle. Great. Mine and Jacobs low life shopping day was now replaced with shop after shop after shop. A little part of me was thrilled to, it had been so long since I could hang out with her every day and do ordinary teenage things.
