Chapter Three
Whispers and a Kiss

"Look at her," Bella heard Lauren whisper to Jessica as she passed by the duo. "It's like she doesn't even care that he's gone."

"She totally didn't deserve him or to even be apart of the Cullen family," a boy whispered to Mike. "What's so special about them anyway? I'm just as nice as Edward."

Bella looked down at the floor as she proceeded to her locker. She heard Mike smirk. "Ha! You wish!" Mike told the boy. "Bella Swan would never look twice at you."

Bella let out a loud sigh of frustration before slamming her locker shut. "Don't let them get to you," a voice said from behind her. Bella quickly turned around and smiled. Angela and Ben stood before her. They were her only two friends left at Forks High now.

"Listen to them," Ben smirked. "They act as if the Cullens are dead or something."

If only you knew, Bella thought to herself as she proceeded outside with Angela and Ben.


"Hey. Who is that?" Angela asked. Bella looked up and glanced at her friend with confusion. She followed to where Angela was pointing and found herself smiling brightly.

There was Jacob Black, propped unceremoniously against Bella's truck. In the bed of the old beat-up pickup were the two motorcycles Jacob and Bella had been working on for the past few months. Bella grinned even more as she bid goodbye to Ben and Angela before running over to Jacob. "Jake!" Bella called out as she approached her friend.

"Hey, Bells," Jacob said as he opened the passenger door for Bella. "I thought we'd do some riding today."


Bella, this is crazy! A voice rang throughout Bella's head. Frustrated, she shook her head, hoping that the voice would go away.

Bella, stop!

"Go away, Edward," Bella whispered, hoping that Jacob wouldn't hear her talking to herself. "I have Jacob now."

Well then by all means, please continue your stunts because being with a young werewolf is just as deadly as riding an old motorcycle.

Bella rolled her eyes and replied, "You know. A few months ago I would've given anything to hear your voice but now you're just annoying."

"Ready?" Jacob asked as he walked up to Bella. The girl nodded grabbed her helmet from Jacob. "Smart girl. You remembered the helmet this time." Once again, Bella rolled her eyes.

"I can be safe when I wanna be," Bella snapped before taking off on the motorcycle.

Jacob watched Bella carefully as she disappeared down the dirt road and whistled. "She's getting good," he said out loud to himself.

CRASH!

Jacob groaned and hopped on to his own motorcycle. "I spoke too soon," he said to himself as he took off.


As Jacob drove down the dirt path, he looked around for all signs of Bella and what was left of her motorcycle. He stopped when he heard laughter.

"Bella?" Jacob called out as he got off the bike. He proceeded down the dirt path on foot.

He only had to walk a few feet before he saw Bella lying on her back with leaves in her hair laughing like a madwoman. Jacob chuckled to himself and ran over to her. "Are you alright?" he asked as he knelt down beside her.

Bella laughed and replied, "Just fine, Jake."

Jacob raised an eyebrow down at his friend, the girl he loved. "Are you sure?" Jacob asked in amusement. "You seem to be laughing pretty hard."

"I haven't had that much fun in a long time," Bella laughed. She sat up and stared at Jacob, trying to stop laughing. "And look! I crashed without breaking any bones!"

"Well for you, Bells," Jacob began. "That is a huge accomplishment. I'm proud of you." He smiled and winked at Bella, earning him a playful slap in the arm.

Bella sighed, removing the helmet from her head. Jacob just sat there, smiling. Even with leaves in her hair, she's still beautiful, Jacob thought to himself.

Bella cocked an eyebrow at Jacob and asked, "What are you smiling at?"

Jacob shrugged as he pulled some leaves from Bella's hair. "Nothing," he replied. "Nothing at all."

Bella sighed and moved closer to Jacob. Their eyes met and both could feel their heartbeat quicken.

Who needs them anyway? Bella thought to herself.

I want to kiss her, Jacob thought. But would she care?

Bella mentally shrugged to herself as she scooted closer to Jacob. Jacob smiled even more at Bella, causing her to also smile.

"You know, Bel --," Jacob began but he was cut off in mid-sentence. Bella's lips pushed against Jacob's. For the two, it was pure ecstasy. It was nothing like either one had ever tasted. Jacob sighed into the kiss and ran his tongue gently across Bella's bottom lip, asking for entrance. Bella's lips parted and soon their tongues began to move together in a passionate kiss.
