Harmony; At Last

Chapter 1 - The New Girl

Hey Look! Another new story!!

You think I'd finish one before beginning another, wouldn't you?

Not my style. If I get writers block on one I start another :P

So here it is. Chapter 1

Jacob's POV

"Hey Jake!" Bella called from the end of the drive. She wasn't alone this time though; Quil and Embry were standing with her. I waved back; a little nervous to be around her after our recent kiss.

"Bye Dad. I'm going out with Bella and the guys. I'll be back for dinner later. Make lots!" I shouted to my father as I walked through the door. He was watching us all through the window. I didn't really realise how hard it must be for him to be stuck inside most of the time.

I bounded down the driveway to where they were all standing in a few short strides. I stopped right in front of them.

"Hey, Jake, did you hear about the new girl? She just arrived yesterday!" Quil blurted out. He seemed rather excited but he always was one for gossip. Especially when it involved new girls.

"No. Do you know the name of this girl you seem infatuated with?" I asked, trying to sound enthusiastic while throwing a glance at Bella to see if she had noticed my use of more sophisticated words.

"Harmony Weatherstone, I think." Embry interjected.

"So are we actually going to go swimming or not guys?" Bella asked, sounding frustrated. Probably with the fact that we were all now discussing our perfect girl. Come to think of it, my perfect girl sounded a hell of a lot like Bella.

"Yeah. Let's go before the current gets too strong!" I persisted, taking Bella's side; as usual.

"All right. How about a race? First one in gets a kiss?" Quil suggested with a suggestive wink towards Bella.

"Have you seen Bella try to run? It's a miracle that she's only broken her leg once!" Embry laughed.

Bella pouted when we all started laughing at her clumsiness. I hugged her just to see the corners of her lips lift slightly. I must admit though, she was absolutely adorable when she pouted.

"Don't worry, Bella. I'll carry you." I couldn't help but laugh as she lifted her hand in a gesture like she was planning to slap me. She lowered it seconds later remembering that hitting me now actually hurt her not me.

"You guys are such assholes!" Bella stated as she stormed away from us. She was still walking in the direction of the cliffs though and I took that to be a good sign.

"Bella! Come back!" I waited for a few seconds but nothing happened. She was absolutely furious. I looked at Quil and Embry and shook my head. "She's right, you know. We really are assholes."

I can't stand to have her mad at me. I jogged after her. Looking around me in case she had decided to try and hide. When I found her she was sitting on the cliffs staring down at a group of people on the beach. That's when it happened. I had never seen her before but it felt like I was in a trance. It felt like some one was repeatedly kicking me in the gut.

"Who are they? I've never seen them here before. Are they new?" Bella asked, looking curiously at the girl I was now staring blankly, open-mouthed at.

"Which question do you want me to answer first? 'Who are they?' or 'Are they new?'" I asked, trying my hardest to regain my last train of thought. "I don't know who they are exactly but that means that they are new to La Push. Let's go introduce ourselves. They probably don't know many people around here. It would be a nice thing to do."

I caught Bella, Embry and Quil all exchanging glances. Did they honestly know that something was different about me that easily?

I reached the beach within seconds. The girls were all sitting on the fallen tree where Bella and I sat on our first encounter. I could see her though everyone else. She was different; beautiful. Ultimately, my perfect girl.

I slowed and waited for Bella, Quil and Embry to catch up with me. I could feel the anxiety bubbling in my stomach. I wanted to talk to her so badly but I was too nervous to do so alone.

Bella was the first person to say anything. "I'm Bella Swan. And these guys are Jacob, Quil and Embry. They live right here in La Push. I'm from the town though, Forks. It's not a far drive from here." Quil walked foreword and sat on the sand by Claire waiting for her to walk over to him.

"I'm Harmony. I think you all know Kim and Claire; my cousins." Harmony explained in a beautiful high soprano voice. Her dark eyes were inviting; happy, warm and easy to read. She was wearing a beautiful blue summer dress. The deep colour of blue that always looked stunning, beautiful, amazing even, on Bella.

"Welcome to La Push, Harmony. We hope you like it here!" Quil and Embry said in perfect unison. It was something that couldn't help but be laughed at.

"We will be around if you need help adjusting or anything. And, I have to say, that dress looks amazing on you." I said, my breathing was becoming laboured now.

Harmony giggled and I turned to look at Quil, Embry and Bella only to witness them all exchanging glances again. They were all probably wondering why I was acting like this. I turned back to Harmony who was now looking at her feet; still smiling; still blushing.

Bella took a step foreword. "I know that this is a little sudden but Jake was wondering if you would like to go out for dinner and a walk with him." I couldn't believe it. Did Bella really just ask a girl out for me?

Harmony looked up. There was a slight amount of surprise evident in her eyes. "Sure. I'd love to go out with you, Jacob." Harmony said, taking a light step towards me and leaning up on her toes to give me a kiss on the cheek. At this point, I turned the bright shade of scarlet that I always teased Bella about.

"Well…umm…how about tomorrow…umm…around eight?" I tried desperately to look back up from the sand to see the warm, friendly eyes that were now staring at me. "I can drive us to town and you can pick the restaurant…umm…I hope you don't mind if I drive Bella home on our way though... Umm…she is staying with me while Chief Swan is on a business trip. She's been having a hard time since the lee… I mean boyfriend… left her in September." I was hoping that I didn't seem too flustered.

"I am right here you know!" Bella sounded irritated again but hers was not the voice I was waiting to hear.

Another high soprano giggle came from the direction of the three girls. "That sounds perfect, Jacob. I'll meet you here at 7:30 tomorrow then?" She replied to my random babbling.

"That's great…umm…I'll see you then." My blank stare had apparently returned. I guess that I was amazed that I'd gotten a date with such a beautiful girl. And apparently it showed.

Bella, Quil and Embry were the first to walk away. Bella was laughing so hard at my expression that she collapsed after tripping over a small rock. Quil and Embry collapsed with her as I waved goodbye to Harmony

"Guys, I don't see why you are finding this so funny. It's not funny!" I couldn't help it. With the last words I had to say I stomped my foot on the ground.

"You…should…have…seen…your…face…" Bella squeaked between gasps.

"It was hysterical!" Quil interjected.

"Shut up! Quil, I don't see why you are laughing. You are the only one here who can even slightly understand this! Need I remind you that none of us laughed at you!" And with that I phased. Probably a bad idea since now Sam, Paul and Jared could all hear my thoughts.

All I wanted to do is run and thing. I was sure that this would come back and bite me in the ass later.

I could hear Sam, Jared and Paul all discussing what they should do. Sam had already made his decision.

Jacob, meet me at Emily's in fifteen minutes. You got that? I was the only one who could go against what Sam wanted. This time I didn't want to though.

Sure thing, Sam. I'll be there. I might need a little bit longer than fifteen minutes though. I think I may owe Bella an apology for how I acted earlier.

Sure Jake. Take as long as you need. I'll be there. Sam paused. And so will Emily.

So What did you think of the new story?

I was going to make it a 1 chapter thing but I have too many ideas for it.

Please review!!
