Forgetting

I was sitting in Sam's kitchen. Emily was in the living room reading and Sam was sitting across from me. He looked slightly nervous but swallowed it down before speaking.

"Jake, we're going to have to tell Hope's parents. Emily and I are going over there tomorrow, you can come by later and talk with them."

"What about the wife? She's not Quileute, she's not even Indian." I replied listlessly.

"Em will get her out of the way."

"So we're not going to tell her?"

"Only when we have to." I nodded. I was nervous enough about this without having to deal with Hope's mother. I wasn't looking forward to telling Hope's father I was a werewolf who would be hanging around his daughter for the rest of her life, hopefully even marrying her. Marrying her, but that was far away.

"I'll be there." I told Sam as I walked out the door.

"Jake?" Emily called from the living room.

"We're so happy for you."

"Thanks." I muttered before walking outside and into the cold. Cold as ice. Bella. They were happy I had found a way to get over the leech lover; I thought scornfully, remembering Leah's words. No, this wasn't fair to Hope. If I was going to make her happy, to live the rest of my life with her then I would have to forget Bella. I would for Hope. Hope was the only light in my world now; I would do anything for her. Forgetting Bella was nothing compared to losing Hope. In that moment Bella ceased to exist, she had been replaced. I smiled as I remembered the smile that had lit up Hope's face when I had knelt down to talk to her. I could make her happy, that was all I needed.
