It was late and that reflection burned in my mind. My head was spinning and I didn't know what to do. Edward. He was gone. Gone from my life. I had nothing to look forward to anymore. My heart was broken. Broken to the limbs that remained of it.
Many days had passed and Charlie saw what happened to Edward too. He had attempted to comfort me, making me forget everything that we saw that day. But nothing will ever take those memories away. Charlie has tried his best and I'm happy for him trying.
It was dark and cloudy with rain yet to fall, so I thought staying inside would be best. Just stay locked up in my room. Charlie had left for work early that morning and I heard a knock at the door. Still in pajamas, I put a bathrobe over my pajamas and took a deep breath in as I walked down to get the door. As I got closer to the door, someone was still knocking. I grumbled softly getting slightly annoyed at the knocking. Once I opened the door no one was there. I looked around and saw that a gift or letter was left at the doorstep. I picked it up and the smell of wolf washed all over me. Jake. Jake had left it here. I closed the door going to the kitchen to get some coffee then sat down and opened the letter up.
Jacob's pov:
I started knocking on her door knowing Charlie wouldn't be there. I kept knocking and heard her come down those steps. My heart was skipping a few beats. I thought I was over Isabella. I heard her coming closer so I put the letter down on the doorstep and dashed for the woods.
Isabella's pov:
I sipped my coffee and opened the letter. It was an invitation up in La Push for Jacob's graduation party. I smiled knowing he still was my friend after that fight we had. I put the letter down and finished up my coffee. Maybe today will be the day I go out and have fun. The letter said 1pm, so I had some time before I leave the house. Going back up to my room pictures of Edward and me were in my head. Tears were streaming down my face. I tried holding all those tears in but they just had to. I collapsed to the floor sobbing putting my knees to my chest.
"It just wasn't fair. He didn't deserve it!" I yelled in my mind.
Moments had passed and I heard someone come in. I tried standing up using the wall for mortal support but it wasn't helping so much. I saw a figure coming up the stairs and I knew who it was. My vision was getting dizzy by the second and soon I was unconscious.
Jacob's pov:
I heard her sobs so I decided to see what was wrong now. It couldn't have been something I did. Or was it? I ran to her house and opened the door carefully. I heard sobs coming from upstairs. Going up the stairs I saw her. On the floor unconscious. I ran to her quickly and leaned her back against the wall.
"Bella! Bella!" I exclaimed.
I picked her up bringing her to her room and putting her down on her bed. As I covered her up and felt her head, she was stirring awake. Her eyes opened slowly looking up at me. I moved my hand.
Isabella's pov:
"Jake?" I asked. "What are you doing here?"
I looked at him strangely. I tried sitting up in bed as he pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed.
"I saw you on the floor sobbing, so I came to see what was wrong. But when I did come, you were unconscious." He answered.
"Oh…well thanks Jake." I forced a weak smile.
"So…" he started, "do you know if you'll be coming?"
"Your graduation party? Of course."
I smiled for real this time and for some reason I had the urge to hug him. Just for that second I wanted to hug him. Through everything I've been through, he's been there for me.
"Jake, I want you to know…I'm glad we're still friends."
"Me too." He replied.
He had a look in his eyes that made he shiver. I don't know what happened to me. Now I was seeing all of Jake. His appearance made me feel giddy on the inside. But was it love? Or just a sign that I really wanted Edward? No, I could never feel that way for Jake. My love was for Edward and no one else. As stubborn as I may be I knew my heart belonged to Edward, wherever he was. Heaven. Or even Hell.
Jacob's pov:
I just looked at her.
"Jake?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"
I didn't know what to say but I finally found the words. The truth.
"I saw you on the floor sobbing, so I came to see what was wrong. But when I did come, you were unconscious." I replied.
I looked at her carefully. She was so beautiful from her face to even her body. Through her blankets I could see her perfect body.
"Oh…well thanks Jake." She had said knocking me back to reality.
I decided to ask her about my graduation party.
"So…" I started "do you know if you'll be coming?"
She looked at me for a second then replied.
"Your graduation party? Of course."
Bella smiled for real this time. I could tell. Happy as I was I kept in inside for a bit. Didn't want to get too excited, I chuckled softly to myself.
"Jake, I want you to know…I'm glad we're still friends." She suddenly said.
"Me too." I simple replied.
Today was just going too good. Maybe my wish will come true.
