Chapter 2

Sunshine

I knew I couldn't last much longer. I stepped on the petal harder and shot down a familiar street. As the house came into view, I slowed. I needed my sunshine but I couldn't make him worried. I parked the car and got to the front door in seconds. "Just relax Bella" I told myself, knocking on the door "it will all be fine."

The door opened and sitting in his chair was Billy. "Bella! Wow it's so great…sweetheart are you okay?"

I guess I looked as upset as I felt. "No" I whispered, tears filling my eyes. "I'm sorry is Jake home, I really need to speak to him," I asked, my voice cracking.

"No Bella, I'm sorry, he's not." No! I needed him. "He's at First Beach with Quil and Embry. I don't think he will mind if you stop by," he added, obviously seeing the pain on m face.

"First Beach…okay thanks Billy" I said, sprinting to the car. My stomach hit my spine as I drove down the street. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the Rabbit parked along the edge of the road. He was here. As I stepped out of the car, a booming sound filled my heart making the corners of my mouth flinch upward.

"Jake…Jacob?" I called. He was somewhere close, I knew it. "Jacob, Embry, Quil?" where were they? Suddenly two huge warm arms wrapped around my shoulders.

"Bella" whispered an extremely familiar voice.

"Jake" I said, turning to see him. I couldn't hold back any longer. The pain took over and I started sobbing Even though Jake's presence brought joy to my heart, the pain was so much stronger.

"Bella? Bella what is it? What's wrong?" But the sobs took over everything. I couldn't talk or see anything, so I just leaned forward, wrapped my arms around him, and cried into his shoulder. After a minute, Jake scooped me up into his arms and walked.

"Dude, what's wrong with her?" a voice I knew as Embry's asked.

"I'm not sure" Jake replied. He sat down on the floor and leaned against the rocks. "Shh, Bella, shh" he whispered, rubbing my back. "It's okay, I'm here." And it was within five minutes the tears had stopped, but the pain remained, not as strong as before because Jake was there.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Jake asked.

"No" I replied in a whisper. "I can't yet, I just really needed to see you."

"Well I'm here Bella, I'm here" he said standing me up and pulling me into a bon-crushing hug.

"Hey guys, sorry for crashing your little party" I said, turning to Embry and Quil.

"Nah, don't worry about it Bella, I've been dying to see you" Quil said. "I really didn't get to talk to you much at the wedding…you looked beautiful by the way" he added, his dark skin getting darker.

"Thank you so much" I said, blushing myself.

"So what's your husband up to right now? Does he know you're here?" Embry asked. I expected pain to hit but instead, anger built up inside of me.

"I really don't want to talk about that filthy bloodsucker right now" I hissed through my teeth. The three of the stared at me as if I had 8 heads.

"Wow, he must have really pissed you off" Embry said.

"I really don't want to talk about it…hey can we do something, I need a distraction?"

"Um, sure" Jake said, looking concerned and confused. "Do you want to ride bikes or go cliff diving or something?"

"Well how about we have a little celebration?" Quil asked. "We really didn't get to fully celebrate with you at the wedding so let's now! I think I got some sodas and stuff in a cooler in my car."

"Sounds good to me" I said. "You guys up for it?"

"Sure" Embry said.

"Why not" added Jake.

"Okay" Quil said. "Let's party! I just need to run to my house."

Within minutes, Quil was back with a cooler in hand. "Hey Jake, Sam's askin' for ya."

"For what?" whined Jake.

"I don't really know man, he just said 'go get Jake I need to speak with him' and that was it."

"Alright…Bella" he said, turning to me "will you be okay with these two whack-jobs for a bit? I'll get back as soon as I can!"

"Yeah, no problem" I said. It hurt to know that he was leaving, but I knew he cared about me.

"I'll be back soon" he whispered, kissing me on the forehead. Then he ran off into the woods.
