How my heart was won

So this is my first ever fanfic so go easy on me! I know it starts off a little slow, but give it some time I promise the plot will pick up. Don't be mislead by the beginning; this is an Alice/Bella love story.

P.S. I sooo don't own Alice or Bella..or Jake...or twilight. *sigh*

Chapter 1

BPOV

I knew I was making the right decision by moving to Forks. I didn't actually want to move here, but I knew that my mother would be happier. I know she loves me and that there would never be any resentment for having to stay home while her new husband traveled. But I wanted to see her happy and on some level I wanted a chance to get closer to my father. Of all the places in the world, why did he have to live in Forks Washington?

Forks is pretty I suppose, full of trees and green landscapes. It's really hard to find the beauty in it when everything is always so cold and damp. As I step out of my fathers cruiser I am instantly reminded how nasty the weather can really be.

"Watch your step Isabella the rain turned into sleet about two hours ago, try not to…"

But Charlie's caution was cut off by the sound of me falling on my ass as soon as my first foot hit the driveway.

"ugnh..Why me..." I mumbled from the ground

"Because you can't look that good AND be graceful" a familiar voice boomed from behind.

I pushed my self up on my hands and looked up to see Jacob Black walking towards me grinning.

JPOV

I can't believe she's finally here, I haven't seen her since last summer when we...

"Hello!?! Are you just going to stand there grinning at me or are you going to help me up?" said Bella.

"Ha Ha sorry Bells, I just spaced out for a second I guess"

Reaching down I offered both of my hands to her and I pull her up into me and give her my best smile.

"Jay what are you doing her" she whispered "I made it clear that I don't think its best that we see each other for awhile"

"Jacob just missed you Isabella. I told him you would be back today; he wanted to welcome you back." "Its ok Charlie, I can't stay anyway I have to be to work soon. I just wanted to say hello to Bells."

I told her that I was glad she was back and hopped into my car and drove away before she had a chance to say another word. I knew she wouldn't be totally excited to see me but I figured she would at least be friendly.

BPOV

"I'm just going to go up to my room and unpack a little Char- err Dad"

"That's fine Isabella; you've had a long flight. Take some time to relax"

I ran upstairs and shut and locked my door behind me, surveying the room.

"Yep, exactly how it's always been, boring and purple." I crawl onto the bed and bury my face into the pillows mumbling to myself. "Why why why Jacob would you think its ok to show up here" Jacob and I had spent every summer together since we were babies. He was my best friend, we did everything together. He always pretended to have a crush on me and I always pretended to not notice. That was until last summer.

"Bella I have to tell you something and I don't want you to hate me when I tell you" Jacob said with worried eyes.

"Jay why would I hate you, I could never hate you. I love you Jake you're my best friend!"

"See..That's the thing Bella. I...I..."

Then Jacob lent down and kissed me, deeply and passionately.

I pushed him off of me and SMACK! I slapped him as hard as I could.

"Jacob Black you have no right to just grab me like that! I love you too, just not like that."

"But Bella I can't be just friends anymore, it kills me that I don't have you"

"Then Jacob maybe you should take some time and think about how rude you just were. Maybe you should think about what our friendship means to you."

He pulls me into him and goes to kiss me again; I turn my head and knee him in the nuts.

"I warned you Jacob, and you didn't listen. I'm sorry but I can't see you anymore."

That was my last summer in Forks and the last time I saw Jacob Black. It's been six months since that happened. He's tried to write me a few times, he even got so bold as to try and call. I let him apologize once about 3 months ago. After all I do care about him he was my best friend for 17 years. But I stuck to what I said to him that last day in Forks. We both needed time to heal from what happened that day, maybe one day we can be friends again.
