"Bye dad"

"Bye Bells"

Well I'm off to la push yet again; today Jake is going to try to teach me how to change a tire. Oh joy, accident prone Bella Swan using high powered tools. I don't want to think about the possible injuries I can get during this lesson. At least I get to see Jake, even if he's trying to teach me how to repair my ancient Truck. He always makes me happy, no matter how endless his immature jokes and constant flirting are I still love him. Maybe not how he wants me to but I love him none the less.


"B! You made it"

"Of course I did Jake when have I ever not shown?"

"Well there was that time you had a concussion, and the broken wrist, oh and that time you sliced you leg open…"

"Shut up smart ass! If you don't stop I won't come over anymore."

He saw right through my lie like he always did. Like he always would.

"If you stop coming over who's going to fix baby?"

"I'll bring her to the mechanic!"

"With the money you make from your invisible job?"

"Shut up Jake!"

I said it with a laugh and a smile on my face. I'm only happy and light hearted like this when I'm with Jake. He makes the child inside of me come out. Usually I'm a middle aged woman in a teenagers body, but Jake has always been the one who could make me laugh. We used to sit and make mud pies together or play in the water at first beach. He was the one who taught me how to swim, climb a tree, check the oil in baby, and countless other things. He has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. None of that changed when I was in Phoenix with Renee after her and Charlie got a divorce, as soon as I came back to Forks we started back up right where we left off.

"Shut up Jake!"

I love hearing my name come from her lips. I know she doesn't feel the same way about me yet, but she will. We have been best friends for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure when my feelings for her changed, I think it was when I realized she wasn't like other girls. She's just Bella. She doesn't obsess over hair and clothes, she's comfortable being herself around me and the guys, she's brave enough to tell me I'm being a jerk or an ass to my face when she knows it's true. I've never met another girl like her and I don't think I ever will.

"Dumb ass!"

"You know that's why you love me."

"Psht, that's what you think."

"B, that's what I know"

"Prove it!!!"

"Are you sure you want that?" He said with an intense look on his face.

"Yeah." I giggled, I've never seen Jake like this in the 16 years I've known him. If he's really serious about the way he feels for me, why not give it a chance?

"Bella are you sure this is what you want?"
