Preface: The Beginning
It was hard to grasp, but he was gone. Edward was gone. He wasn't coming back for me. It had been years, and he hadn't come back. I was shifting from cold, steel arms, which were Edward's, into the warm, soft embrace that was my best friend, Jacob. Our relationship had developed naturally, and after denying his love for so long, I let fate take its course, and it would only lead me to the little red house in the small reservation of La Push. And though I wasn't whole, I settled for this. My werewolf friend, who loved me more than I could ever return. I loved Jacob, I did. I loved his smile, his sense of humor, his positive outlook on life. I would do anything for him, but both he and I knew that he would never hold all of me, because someone had already stolen a bit of my heart, my soul. Jacob was willing to take me as I was- damaged goods. Was it wrong for me to be thinking about Edward, today of all days? I quickly glanced out at my family, my new family, my friends, and the people I had come to adore. And as I stared back into Jacob's dark eyes, his delight and utter ecstasy was written all over his face. With that, I took his hands, looked deep into his eyes, and said the two binding words.
"I do." Music filled the room, and everyone stood in their seats and clapped for the newlyweds. Jacob swept me into his arms, and kissed me passionately, and I tried my best to return it as best I could. Who knew if what I was doing was right? I would focus on Jacob, because I really did love him. Jacob was all that mattered to me now.
Okay, this is a oneshot that could become a story. I've never really thought of doing a Jacob/Bella story, but the more I read the saga, the more I realize how happy they could have been together. But don't worry, this story is going to contain more than its fair share of drama. So review, and please tell me what you think.
