"For as much as she stumbles she's running,

For as much as she runs she's still here"

-Guinevere Eli Young Band

Bella and I were going to ride bikes today. She was thrilled. Beyond thrilled. I finally had them fixed and she was dying to try them out. At first when she mentioned actually riding them I was fearful. Not for me, I have had my share of time on a motorbikes. But Bells isn't the most coordinated of girls. She stumbles walking to her truck. And as much as I love when she comes to La Push, I can't help but feel she only comes to run away from his memory. Or run to it. But it doesn't help. No matter what, she's still here and he is still gone. And she just still doesn't get that. It physically hurts me to see her hurting. Sometimes I wish that her filthy bloodsucker would come back just so my Bells would be fully happy again. Though I do hope I can be the one to make that happen and he never comes back. Just thinking about what he has put her though leaves me shaking.

"Jake, what's wrong?"

I must have seriously been in my head to not have heard Bella pull up in her super loud truck. I shook it off and looked at her. Just her being in my presence calmed me.

"Nothing now that you are here," I told her smirking a little bit.

"Very funny Jake," she replied back with a smile of her own.

"So, we ready to ride, Bells? Do you think you can handle it?"

"I think so Jake...with your help."

I smiled at her. God, she was beautiful. I loved her so much and she just didn't understand. It sucked. But I had to be her friend. I couldn't push her too much.

"Of course. But it's dangerous."

"It's okay. I need danger."

Oh that was so hot. But, I had to put my teenage thoughts in the very back of my mind and concentrate on teaching Bella and keeping her safe.

"Sure, sure."

We spent the rest of the morning going over how to ride and actually riding them. I was surprised on how well Bella did. She only fell a couple of times and suffered very minor injuries.

"Well, Bells, you did great."

"Ha...thanks Jake..."

We were pushing our bikes back to the garage and I couldn't help but stare at her. Her perfect features and her slim body. She was amazing. One of the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen. If I could spend the rest of my life with her I would be the happiest man on the Earth. No doubt in my mind. I was so completely in love with her it was ridiculous. The pack hated it. They hated being bombarded with thoughts of Bella and with fantasies of us together. I tried to stop my mind. I tried thinking other thoughts. I just couldn't help it. She clouded my brain. Even when I was younger and we would build mud pies I thought she was amazing. I told my mom that I wanted to marry her. One of the only memories I had of my mom. And it was about Bella too. That's another reason I think she's the one. My mom had told me that she would be the happiest mother if I married Bella. I wanted to make my mom happy as well as myself. We both deserved that. And it freaked Seth out that I was thinking about marrying Bella and we weren't even dating. It didn't phase Quil, Jared, Paul, or even Sam that much. They had their imprints and they knew what it was like to be head over heels in love. Quil had Claire, though she was very young still, Jared had Kim, Paul had my sister, and Sam had Emily. Leah was extremely annoyed by it all and Embry was a true romantic at heart. It didn't mean they weren't all annoyed when I went overboard however.

"Jake...are you even paying attention to me?"

"Huh? What?"

I guess I was in my head again. I've got to stop doing that especially when I had the subject of my thoughts right beside me.

"Jake...I was asking if you wanted me to make lunch for Billy and you when we get back."

"Oh. Sure, sure."

Hope you liked. Review please????
