Chapter 4:

Bella got up and opened the window. "What's up, Jake? You do know that it's like, 7:00 in the morning." She asked, with her hands on her hips pretending to be mad but with a smile playing on her lips, giving her anger away.

"I know, I know." Jake sighed, looking around for awhile but his eyes finally laying on me. "But I was wondering if you guys had any plans today. If not, I was gonna invite you up to LaPush for the day. Charlie's already up there, fishing with Billy and Harry. I think they're going to watch the game later too." He finished, sliding in through the window

"Dude, you're way too good at that whole window thing. It seems as if you've done it before." Bella said, blowing a piece of hair out of her face

"I know. Let's just say I like windows better than doors, shall we." Jake replied, catching Bella's robber hint.

Bella then looked at me questioningly. "Well, do you want to go?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. I sighed "well, seeing as I don't have any friends here and would be sitting home all day anyway, yeah, I'd love to go." I said calmly, but inside I was jumping for joy.

Jake's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, making me smile. "Awesome! So I guess I'll see you guys in about an hour or so?" he asked

I was looking it Bella now.

"Sound good to you?" I asked

"Sure" Bella replied, not hiding her smile now

"Great!" Jake exclaimed excitedly "well, I guess I'd better go. See you!" He said, glancing at me one more time and sliding back out the window.

"Why can't that boy use the door like a normal person?" Bella wondered out loud

"'Cause he's not normal." I commented

Bella stopped and stared at me. "What made you say that?" She demanded

"What do you mean what made me say that? I know Jake's different." I replied, confused

"Different how?" She asked

"I don't know. There's just something about him. I don't know what. He's special." I said, trying to explain exasperatedly.

"Ah! I see!" Bella said brightly, giving me a knowing glance.

"What?" I asked slowly

"You like him." She stated

"What?! No…no…no!" I said, my face turning bright red as a tomato

"Yes you do!" she teased in a sing-song voice

"No!" I replied stubbornly

"Oh come on!" Bella said just as stubborn

"Ugh…fine!" I gave in reluctantly

"Why didn't you want to admit it? That's sooo cute! Wait till I tell Alice and Rose!" Bella gushed excitedly. This was weird since I'd never really seen Bella gush over anything.

"No! You can't tell anyone!" I said

"Why not?" Bella asked

"Because… I don't want Jake to know yet, and I know Alice will blab. Rose probably would too." I explained

Bella sighed "But it's so cute!" She said "Please please pretty please with a cherry on top?" She begged

"Why does it matter to you so much anyway?" I asked

"Well, because you're my little sister and I want you to be happy. It would be so much easier if Jake knew how you felt, so then you could date him!" Bella practically squealed

I shook my head no. "No. You don't tell anyone! Especially not Edward. He'd probably blab too!" I said stubbornly

Bella's face fell slightly. "Aw man. Really?" She asked

"Really." I said

"Okay fine." She sighed dramatically.

"Ah…promise?" I said

"Yes." She replied

"Shake on it." I ordered

We shook on it. I know it's kind of lame but Bella and I have a "secret handshake" that we made up when we were little. It's actually pretty impressive. But yeah, it's kind of our way of making promises to each other, even though we know it'll be hard to keep.

After that, Bella said "Okay. So, you go finish getting ready and I'll finish up some things I need to do too. So take maybe…30 or so minutes?"

"Sounds good to me." I replied

"Cool. See you later sis." She said, leaving the room.
