Horizons
Bella/Jacob
What if Edward had never come back and Bella fell in love with Jacob, set in new moon, the chapters are named after songs. Rated M for certain chapters and don't worry I'm not an Edward hater I just feel that Bella and Jacob deserve a chance :). As much Id love to I don't own twilight or any of these songs credit goes to Ms. Meyer and the artists/bands.
Chapter 1
Papercut
Bella's POV
Since Edward left nearly a year ago I haven't been the same I know that, Charlie knows that, everyone knows that, it's all on there mind "Bella Swan all alone, Edward never wanted her if he did why did he leave" that's the very answer I want did he ever love me? It feels like a part of me has been ripped out ever since he left the pain has been growing worse like a paper cut. I needed a new start, I needed life again but how he is no wait was my life, I had a life before him surely it wouldn't be hard to go back to that way the way before him I mean I have Charlie, Renee, Phil, Billy, everyone at school and Jacob…that's it Jacob he always makes me happy, he's always been my own personal sun I'll call him after iv made tea for me and Charlie, even better I'll go down to la push and see him. I looked at my cell it was 4:30 Charlie will be home in a bit better start making his food maybe he will be happy that I'm going to see Jacob. I was just serving up dinner when Charlie walked in and hung his gun up, "hi Charlie" he looked up at me shocked "hello Bella, you feeling better today?" I grinned and said "yeh I'm feeling slightly better I'm going over to la push after dinner to see Jacob and Billy, that alright with you?" it was his turn to grin "sure bells that would be fine, you look like you need a bit of colour in your cheeks" I remembered what he was referring to besides school and the supermarket I'd not been out the house since Edward left, even thinking his name made me upset but I had to get past that I mean he left me I'm past moping around I need to get out. I put my plate in the sink and told Charlie not to bother doing the washing I'll do it when I'm back, I ran upstairs and put on my dark blue halter neck which I hoped wasn't too revealing I didn't want to seem trashy and a pair of shorts as it was so warm outside and was going to be warm all night which was a rarity for forks. I ran downstairs and kissed Charlie on that cheek with his blessing and a stay out as long as you want I went out the door and started the truck.
I got to la push and knocked on Jacob's door, I heard some talking and someone unlocking the door it opened and there stood Jacob in a pair of shorts and no top, I was liking this look I could tell I was blushing from the warmth in my cheeks and the grin on his face "hey Bella what brings you to la push?" I said with a smile "I just wanted to come see you and Billy" I heard a boys voice from inside shout "Oi Jacob hurry up we wanna start the film!" he yelled back "hang on a second Paul" he shook his head still grinning and hugged me I could feel all his warmth going through me then he took me in the house to the living room where there was four boys sat on the sofa grinning the same way Jacob did, I knew them as Embry, Paul, Seth and Quil they lived at the reservation. Jacob sat down in the big arm chair and gestured at me to come sit down to, I sat on the arm Jacob frowned at me but then his face softened "were watching underworld" it was my turn to frown I thought typical something that will remind me of him but I said that it was fine anyway. Quarter way through the film I felt Jacobs warm arm pull me onto his lap I saw his white smile in the darkness he was planning something, but I stayed where I was I liked it, feeling his warm body against mine, his skin was beautiful, he was beautiful I made a mental note to tell him this, I could see his perfect white teeth glowing in the darkness he was loving every minute of this.
I must have fallen asleep because I woke up in a bed all alone and in the dark I shot up trying to make out where I was and me being me I fell out of bed and landed on something very warm "OWWW BELLA" I thought oh crap "sorry Jacob" he turned the lamp on and smiled at me "I should sleep in the way more often he looked at my chest I blushed and stood up I was confused "did I fall asleep during the movie?" he nodded still smiling I apologised and went out to the front door, he grabbed me and asked if I can come round tomorrow I said "yes what time" "10? Is that enough beauty sleep for you, well not that you need it", he winked at me I nodded and hugged him he kissed me on top of the head "just let yourself in" he said as I went out the door and drove home. that was the first night I dreamt of wolves, the one that stood out most was the russet wolf that came up to me looked me in the eyes and let me stroke him, I couldn't work out how I knew him but I looked up and saw Edward, the russet wolf howled and it Edward faded out of view till it was like he wasn't there anymore. I woke up and for once I wasn't crying I knew what I had to do.
