Hi there everyone. Here's chapter two. I hope you enjoy this. At first I never planned to have Jacob in the story. But my friend said that I should. It would make it more interesting. So here is Jacob.

Enjoy.
Chapter 2 – The "Big Event" BPOV
I looked at myself in the mirror again. We just had 10 more minutes until we had to leave for my party. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. This was no time to have a panic attack. Once my heart was beating at a reasonable pace, I slowly made my way downstairs to meet my parents. I can't believe I had to do this, and what on Earth was I wearing? Earlier today, Angela and Jessica – another of my good friends – had come round, insisting on choosing my outfit. After an hour of arguing over what I should wear – what was I, some kind of Barbie doll? – they both decided on a blue denim mini skirt, a low cut black top that complimented my figure, and black strappy high heels. They were all Jessica's; I didn't own anything this nice, or revealing. They had also put make-up on me and curled my hair.
"Oh Bella," mum said, seeing me come downstairs, "you look gorgeous. Your friends are geniuses!" She was practically jumping up and down with excitement. I rolled my eyes at her; the shoes were a death trap. I could see that I was going to be humiliated tonight. It was inevitable. It could be considered inhuman for someone like me to be so clumsy.
"Wow Bella, you look beautiful." Dad said. He looked totally embarrassed to say it though. He probably thought that my outfit was too revealing. I did, but I didn't have enough time to go and change. Carefully, I made my way out to the car, opened the door and slid in the back seat. I was starting driving lessons in a couple of week's time. I couldn't wait. I hated having to ask my mum to drop me of somewhere. Driving would give me so much more freedom.
The hall we rented was very large, big enough to hold all my friends from school: I just got a long with everyone. As we pulled up to park, I saw that there were quite a few cars, but no one outside. They must be waiting for me inside. I just knew I was going to trip walking through the door, and it would be so much more embarrassing with everyone from school inside.
"Here I go." I whispered to myself. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the worst, and opened the door to the big hall. Sure enough, I lost my balance pushing the door open, and I started to fall forward. I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact of hitting the hard floor. It never came. I then realised that someone had grabbed me by the waist. I opened my eyes and saw two dark brown eyes looking at me. Our faces were really close.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a deep voice.
I flushed bright red, "Y-yes thank you for saving me." I stuttered, embarrassed.
A huge grin appeared on his face. He helped my regain my balance, then let go. Now that I could see him better, I realised that he was quite attractive. He had scruffy dark brown hair that matched the colour of his eyes, and had copper coloured skin. It was beautiful.
"I'm Jacob," he said, holding out his hand, "Jacob Black."
I took his hand. It was very warm. "I'm Bella."
"I know," he laughed, and then said, "Happy Birthday Bella."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone yelled. I had forgotten that they were all there, nobody had said a word during mine and Jacobs little introduction. They must have been too busy watching me make a fool out of myself.
I turned to face them, forcing a smile. "Thank you." I said.
"Okay everyone." Mum called suddenly. "Now that the guest of Honour has arrived, let's get this party started!" She laughed and then music started playing.
Everyone was having a great time. I could see smiles on everyone's faces, and most people were dancing. I just walked around the room, chatting to everyone. I had started to feel a little hungry, so I made my way to the buffet table. My eyes locked onto a table where there was a pile of birthday cards and some presents, all addressed to me. I grimaced. I didn't want presents, but I couldn't refuse them. I would hurt everyone's feelings if I did that. I sighed and picked up a slice of cake. Mum had spent all day yesterday baking it. She had to make sure that there would be enough for everyone to have a piece. I was staring out the back door that led to the garden, when I heard footsteps coming up from behind me
"Hey Bella, do you wanna dance with me?" A deep voice said. I turned to see who was speaking and smiled. It was Jacob. Then I registered what he was asking and grimaced. This wasn't going to well.
"I can't dance." I said truthfully. I really didn't want to embarrass myself again.
"Don't worry; it's a slow song, so we can just move to the music." He held out his hand for me. Hesitantly, I took it and he led me to the centre of the dance floor. Everyone stopped dancing to watch me, probably waiting for me to make a fool of myself again. There were even a few people in the crowd smirking. I sighed and placed my hands around is neck, while he puts his hands on my waist. He then looked down at me, and smiled. I never noticed before, but Jacob was really tall, and muscular. Slowly, we started swaying to the music. Jacob kept a firm grasp on me, probably to make sure that I wouldn't fall over. I started smiling and his smile grew even bigger. Surprisingly, I was having fun. I could see that Jacob and I were going to become close.
"So, did you come with a date or something?" I asked, wanting to get to know him more.
"Yeah, sort of," He said, "your Dad actually."
Huh? Did he mean that my dad was his date? I looked at him curiously, to see if he was serious.
"Not in the way your thinking," he said quickly, "I live in La Push. It's a Native American Reservation, just a 15 minute drive from Forks. When you used to visit your dad years ago, we would often get put together with my older sisters so that our dads could go fishing." That rang a bell. I could remember making mud pies with a boy and we tried to get his sisters to eat them.
"Yeah, I remember. We tried to get your sisters to eat the mud pies we used to make." I laughed, and he joined in.
"Yeah, so anyway, Charlie came down to our house and told my dad that he couldn't go fishing with him this week until he came back. I asked him where he was going, and he said that it was his daughter's birthday and that he was going to surprise her. Then out of no where, he asked if I wanted to come with him. He wouldn't let me say no. He is so stubborn."
"I know, get that from him." I laughed.
Suddenly Jacob got really serious. "I was really nervous when I first came here," he looked into my eyes and blushed slightly. It was hard to tell if he was blushing, his skin being that copper shade. "But I'm really glad I did." We stopped dancing and he grabbed one of my hands from around his neck, and kissed it lightly. "It's so good to see you again." He said looking directly into my eyes. I blushed.
The song changed then into a more up beat tune, so we let go of each other. Jacob's little gesture was making me blush so much that I decided to go outside to clear my head and explore the garden. Jacob walked me to the back door and held it open for me. I was glad that he had decided to let me go alone, I need the fresh air, and with him around, I probably wouldn't calm down.
I walked down the long path that winded further into the garden, away from the hall. I hadn't noticed I had gone so far until I realised that the forest that joined the garden was just ahead. I turned around and started walking back.
"Ouch!" I cried.
The heel of my right foot had jammed into a crack in the pavement, causing me to twist my ankle. Carefully, I bended down and released the heel from the crack, and looked around. I had to get back, but my ankle hurt, so I decided to limp to the nearest bench and sat down. I was closer to the woods now, and it was getting dark. It was a good thing the lamps were on. The wind was starting to pick up, causing my hair to blow backwards. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mobile. Crap. No Signal. I wouldn't be able to call Mum. Someone would come looking for me eventually, Jacob knew where I was.
Slowly, I lifted my right foot and gently started to rub my ankle, to try and soothe the pain. Then I heard a twig snap. The sound came in the direction of the hall, so I thought maybe Jacob had come to look for me. I looked around, but it was only a squirrel. I sighed. Then, I heard another twig snap. It was closer and came from behind me in the forest. I turned my head and gasped.
I must be imagining things again. I thought to myself, because what I saw was the strangest pair of black eyes watching me. Slowly, they moved closer.
