Bella's POV:
I groaned. Today was going to be awful, with no Edward and absolutely nothing to do. I had already finished all of my homework...OoOo I know! I could do the laundry, but how long would that keep my occupied?
2 hours later
I had finished washing, drying, and folding the laundry, yet it was only 12:00 p.m. What else was there to do? I could call Angela...or Jake! Yes! I would go visit Jake, but let me call Charlie first and tell him.
"Hello?" Charlie answered his cell phone.
"Hey Dad, it's Bella."
"Hey there kiddo! Is there something wrong?"
"No, no. Everything's fine, Dad. I just wanted to tell you that I'm going down to La Push to go visit Jake. Is that okay with you?"
"Sure, sure!" he answered, a little too excited for my comfort. "Just be back before 10 p.m. and don't worry about making dinner for me. I'll just order pizza."
"Thanks. Bye dad, see you later."
"Bye Bells. I love you."
"Love you too, dad. Bye."
I hung up the phone and grabbed my purse. As I was heading towards my truck, I had somehow managed to trip over my own feet. Would I ever be normal? Luckily, I grabbed a hold of the door handle just in time, and steadied myself. Wow, I think that this was the first time ever that I had prevented myself from tripping without Edward! Edward would be so proud! Wait; would Edward approve of me visiting Jake? Probably not so it's a good things he's not here right now! Don't worry, I'll make it up to him later.
During the car ride to La Push, I realized that I should probably call Jake first to see if I could come over. I already knew he would be ecstatic about it, but Charlie and Renee taught me better.
"Hello? Black residence," came Jake's husky voice.
"Hey Jake, it's Bella."
"Bella! I haven't heard from you in a while. What's been going on with you lately?"
"Oh nothing much. Um, I was wondering, would it be okay if I came over and hung out with you for the day?"
"Of course Bella! You don't even need to ask. In fact, I'll have a surprise ready for you when you come over."
"Ugh Jake. I hate surprises."
"Really?" –Chuckle- "That's too bad then Bells. Is Edward actually okay with this?"
"Don't worry, he's out hunting. He'll be back some time tomorrow."
"Oh, okay. See you soon Bella. Bye."
"Bye Jake."
Before I hung up, I thought I heard Jake grumble something about "Stupid blood sucking, leeches." I sighed, closed my cell phone and made my way down to La Push.
Jake's POV:
I was so excited. No, ecstatic, that Bella was coming over today. But I had to hurry and prepare Bella's surprise. I picked up the phone and dialed Sam's number.
"Hello?" Emily picked up.
"Emily? It's Jake. I have a favor to ask of you."
Bella's POV:
I parked my truck right by the treaty border and was greeted by Jake, who was grinning so hard it looked painful.
I got out of my truck and started walking towards Jake, but before a could make my way across, I was gathered into a bear hug.
"Jake...can't. Breath!"
Jake laughed, but thankfully released me.
"It's been too long, Bella! I've missed you!"
"I've missed you too, Jake!" his happiness was contagious. "So what's your surprise?"
"A picnic!"
Then I suddenly noticed that he was carrying a fairly large, weaved basket.
"It was prepared single handedly by Emily," Jake beamed. He acted like a soccer mom whose son just scored the winning goal for his soccer team.
"Wow, that's a huge basket. Are you sure we can finish it all?" I looked warily at the basket.
"Have you seen me eat? Trust me, if you don't finish it, I will."
At this I had to laugh. What was I thinking? Of course Jake could finish everything, look at him...he's huge! –sigh- I was ready for my relaxing, trouble free day with Jake, but little did I know that today was going to be nothing but trouble.
Please reivew!
x3 always,
