Sorry about the long wait for this chapter….I had WKCE testing (standardized testing for sophomores in Wisconsin.) and I bruised my thumb doing winter guard (color guard in the winter…look it up)

Chapter 3 My Day

When I woke up I was frozen solid. I thought I was extremely sick until I remembered about my window dilemma the pervious night. I immediately shut the window and found a note taped to it. I grabbed it only to see his neat writing scrawled on the paper.

Bella,

We are going back to Africa. I'm sorry I had to tell you this way, but I'm sure Jacob wouldn't appreciate it no matter how I told you. Bella, I love you and I'm glad you found your happiness. I'm just looking for mine.

Always Yours,

Edward

My heart sank. They were leaving. Again. I felt like I was dying all over again, only this time I knew Jacob could repair it. And today we were going to spend the whole day together. At least that's what he said last night. Jacob was always true to his word, so I got ready as quick as I could, making there be more day to spend with him.

It was seven so I hoped he would be willing to start our day sooner then planned. Before I went downstairs I pocketed Edward's note. It was the last of him I was able to hold on to so I was going to do exactly that, hold on to. As I went downstairs Charlie was once again talking to Jacob. Why was it that they were always talking?

"You ready? I thought we weren't doing anything until nine?" Jacob said.

"Well, I was up earlier then expected, but now we have more time." I replied grinning.

"Ok, we'll get going. Charlie, remember Billy will be ready at eight." He said as we walked out the door.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked.

"I'm not telling you, it's a surprise." He said suspiciously.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards his car. He opened the door for me and I got in. As he walked around to the driver's side, I noticed him pulling something from his pocket.

"No, oh no." I started but he just laughed.

"Bella, it will only be for a little bit. I'll hold your hand the whole way. I promise." And with that he reached over and put on the blind fold. Oh no, here we go.

He did hold my hand the whole way. I heard the car turn off and knew we had arrived to the location. I heard him get out and I reached up to take off the blind fold when I felt his hand on mine.

"Not yet," He said "Almost, I'm going to lead you out of the car and to the…spot."

"Ugh! Why can't you just tell me?" I said as he got me out of the car.

"Just hold on we're almost there." We walked a little further when he stopped and took off my blind fold.

"Oh Jacob. It's…" I didn't know what to say. We were on the beach in La Push. The same spot where he nursed my heart back to health. I flung my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Whoa, I didn't even show you it all." Jacob said surprised

"Wait, there's more?" I was shocked. What else could there be?

"Yeah hold on." He reached for his pocket. Oh no not this again. He didn't pull out a blindfold, but his keys. He ran to the trunk and got out a picnic basket. I kid you not; we were going to have a picnic on the beach. Of course inside were all my favorites but I didn't care. I had him for the whole day to myself.

"Do you like it?" he questioned

"I love it. I really do. This is the most amazing thing anyone's ever done for me."

I looked at him and he was looking back at me. He started to lean over and next thing I knew he was kissing me. I pressed myself closer to him. His hand started moving down my back. I would have started unbuttoning his shirt, if only he would where one. His other hand started moving up my leg when he stopped.

I heard crinkling and this could only mean one thing. Edward's note had fallen out of my pocket and he had found it. He picked it up and started reading it.

"Bella, why do you have this?" he asked, his eyes still on the paper.

"He left it on my window. I'm sorry. He was my best friend and he's leaving again. This is all I have left of him." I looked down. This was almost embarrassing having Jacob know that I chose him, but still wanted Edward.

"Bella, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at him. He shouldn't have done this. You didn't choose him, you chose me and he just can't handle it." He said.

"Oh." I didn't know what else to say.

"Bella, you said this was on your window?" he held up the note.

"Um, yeah." Oh boy, how do I explain this?

"Just tell me the truth. Please?" he pleaded with me.

"Alright, fine. Edward would come in my room at night, so I would I would leave the window open so he could get in. I was still in my routine last night and he must have slipped it in while I was sleeping." Ok just kill me now.

"Bella? You might find this odd, but, would you leave the window open for me.?"

"Wait. So you're not mad?"

"Not unless I can't sneak in."

"Oh. Well, sure. I can see you more then." This was turning out well after all.

For the rest of the day we just sat on the beach, talking about nothing. It was without a doubt an amazing day.
