Ok, let's just say for a minute bella chose Jacob. Far fetched, I know. This is in Jacobs POV but in 2nd person. By the way, this is for Faith Cullen 4 U- she wrote an inspiring review and told me to write a story where Bella picked Jake. I love SM's ending so much that I couldn't change it. But this one's for you!

Disclaimer: I own nothing; if I did I wouldn't be on !

You're outside the tent.

With Bella.

Bella tells you to kiss her

You do.

She knots her fingers in your hair

You kiss

Who knows how long?

Edward starts to sob

You act like you didn't hear him

Who cares about the leech?

"I pick you. Bella says

What?

She picked you?

She takes off the ring.

His ring.

She puts it down gently

Just like Bella

Your Bella

Will you ever get tired of saying that?

You think not.

It's not as strong as an imprint

But, close

You love her

And she loves you

More than the bloodsucker

He yells at you

No human could hear

"You may leave her someday. I'll be waiting"

He will

He loves her

Probably more than you do.

In all fairness, he'd be better for her

Emily.

That can't happen.

Are you crazy? You ask yourself.

Yes, you are.

But you have to do it

Give up the girl you've been waiting for.

She'll be mad.

She'll get over it.

When did parasites become better than dogs.

Well, dogs are a man's best friend

Not Boyfriend

So she picked you

But does it matter

No

You're just going to give her back

To him

Will it work?

You hope so

You need her to be safe.

Is this why he's so accepting?

She obviously loves him

He can't kiss her

Yet

If he could

Like you just did

She would feel so much more

She just doesn't realize it.

Somehow, you are past your bias.

Her becoming one of them doesn't matter.

You'll imprint someday

Or maybe not

But it doesn't matter

Why is this outcome so much better?

Because you know.

You know she loves you.

This is better for you

This is better for her

You're not desperate anymore.

You're free.
