Where we left off...
This particular fan fiction runs off the beaten road right before Bella goes to jump off a cliff in New Moon- I wanted to see what would happen if Alice never saw her jump.
I am not the best writer ever, and Stephenie Meyer is - for obvious reasons- better at expressing the characters than I am. Also, I've been told that my writing comes off as creepy and suicidal- which actually makes sense if you know me- so, just be warned.
Disclaimer- SM owns Twilight, New Moon, etc. I wish she'd let me borrow Jake for a day or two, though...
Chapter 1- No jumping
This wasn't working. I was right back to where I have been for the past two days. Walking along the beach, just aimlessly wandering. The ache in my chest was festering. Damn, I needed to jump. I had been counting on it to fix me, and now I couldn't. Maybe... Sorry, Jake, but I need to do this. I needed to hear his voice again. The voice that made this hole in my chest, and that fixed it when I heard his voice again.
So I got in my truck and drove to the little trailhead that I knew was somewhere around the road by the forest. When I finally spotted it, I got out of my truck and slammed the door.
I heard a wolf howl in the distance- several wolf howls. I hoped Jacob was all right.
I went up the trail, looking for the point where I knew that the trail would break off to the lower ledge where Jake and I were supposed to go. But I must have passed it, because before I knew it I was at the end of the trail, looking out at the bay (is it a bay? I don't know...) and contemplating what I was about to do. I glanced up and saw that the sky was in turmoil.
I needed to do this soon, before it started raining.
I took a deep breath, and looked out at the water. It was a little rough today, but not that bad. I released the breath, took a step forward, and took another, deeper, breath.
And I heard Jake calling me.
"Bella! Bella, where are you? I see your truck!" he called, and I felt a slight tinge of annoyance, but relief, as I heard his voice calling.
"Bella! What are you doing up there?" he seemed a little surprised, and I felt another pang of annoyance.
"We were going to jump today, weren't we?" I said, my annoyance- more than a little bit directed at my hesitance, I realized- making my voice sharper than I intended.
"Bella, can't you see the weather out there? IT's turning into a hurricane!" he said, finally drawing even with my shivering body. He seemed shcoked, and I blushed slightly.
"I kind of wasn't thinking about that," I muttered, blushing even harder when he chuckled under his breath and smiled. I smiled back, unable to resist.
"Come on, Bella, let's get you away from the cliff before you fall in or something." I stuck my tongue out at him, and he chuckled. I stepped away from the edge.
"Come on!" his eyes gleamed, and before I knew it, I was in his arms, and we were flying through the afternoon-dappled trees.
AN: This is my first fanfic ever, so please, don't judge too hard. I tried to keep as much of the original wording in it as possible (No copyright infringement intended, just some fun), so it's a little confusing. Tell me what you think! (I like constructive critism, but hate destructive critism.)
