Ok, so I meant to put this up by Valentine's Day, but sadly I missed it hopefully, you guys won't mind that it's a little- well maybe more than a little- late. .

I fell asleep as I was lying down on the wet grass. I was dreaming of Valentine's Day. It was rainy, of course, but it cleared up in the afternoon. I got up and got ready reluctantly because it was stupid Valentine's Day! I sighed every few minutes and I even hit my head on the wall, purposely and accidentally, to relieve myself of the stress of living this dull day. I ran downstairs and sped towards my dad.

"Hey Dad, Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Hey Bells, Happy Valentine's Day, so do you have a Valentine?" I rolled my eyes.

"No Ch- dad I do not have a Valentine. Do you?" I smirked.

"No! I'm just asking because I was going to stay in Seattle for the night."

"Night work?"

"Yep, and I wanted to warn you not to bring any guy here." He said sternly.

I stifled a laugh but couldn't help myself. Did Charlie really think I would do that?

"Can Jake be an exception?" I asked after I was done laughing.

"Will Angela be here?"

"Of course she will." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Then ok, but no Ben."

Looking at it now, it was so cute how they got together. He visited her on our front porch, Angela was celebrating Christmas at my house with Jacob and me, and he shouted through the cold 'Angela Weber, will you be my girlfriend?' We all awed, including Jake and Charlie, and Angela showed her acceptance with a, albeit warm, kiss. It was so heartwarming that I didn't even make any gagging noise when they kissed. I felt happy since they were obviously in love with each other.

"Fine, but I will not make any promises not to go anywhere, even Ben's house, but we will not be gone long." I figured that we might go to Ben's or Jacob's house for a while to play games or visit the wolf pack. We might even go out to eat.

He sighed in resentment, "Okay, but not too late!"

"Ok, thank you!" I hugged him and got my stuff ready for school. When I left the house I found Angela's car parked in front of my house. I grinned and ran to the passenger side. When I opened up, I greeted her, "Hey Ang, what's up?"

"Hmm, I think the sky, the clouds, the rain falling, oh and a few birds!"

I nudged her, "Enough with the sarcasm, I was asking about you and Ben! Do you have any plans?"

She frowned, "Yeah, sorry Bells."

"It's ok; I'll just visit Jake for a while and then go drown myself in sob music." We both giggled at the last part as she drove us to school.

She gave me two valentine chocolates, one for me and one for Jacob; she had a sad look on her face as she drove the car in the school parking lot.

"Man, I'm sorry Bells. Ben and I could go on Saturday if you want."

"No, I'm ok. Really, I don't want to ruin your romantic night!"

"Aw," she pulled up at a parking spot in the school and hugged me, "I'm really sorry Bells!"

"Jeez, it's ok! I'll probably go hunting for some animals."

"You mean vampires."

"Same thing." I muttered under my breath as I got out. There really was no difference in my mind, since all of them hunted for their prey like one. Plus, it was a good name for the leeches.

"You sure you ok?" she asked as she got out.

"I am ok, or do I have to put a big smile on my face to prove it to you, because I'm not."

"Fine, see you Bella."

We waved and I went to class. All my classes were boring, and lunch wasn't that exciting. Although we did get to see Jessica and Lauren get into a cat fight over one boy, but then it turned into a soap opera and they were friends again, congrats for them.

I was glad school was over, but sad that I had no ride. Angela wanted to drop me off and then go to her date, but I declined because she would be late for her date.

So I figured that I would call Jake to pick me up, hopefully he'll pick up. I waited for his phone to pick up; it picked up on the fourth ring.

"Hey…who is this?" Jake sounded very drowsy.

"Sleeping in school I see, Jacob?" I smiled.

"It was soooooo boring in class! So why are you calling me, not that mind."

"I need a ride. Do you mind picking me up?"

"Sure Bells, I'll be right there."

I received a text message from the pack asking if I could tell Jacob about the "special events" at Emily's place and the time. I told them that I would definitely deliver the message. They even asked me if I wanted to join, but I felt that I might be intruding so I declined politely.

As soon as I got done texting them, I saw Jake driving by.

"Wait long?" He said as he pulled up. I just shook my head as I got in.

"Mind letting me go to your place? Or do you have a date too?" He grinned and I couldn't help to grin back.

"I have not yet imprinted on anyone if that's what you mean. Hey do you want to hunt for a while?"

"I know you're trying to change the subject but ok, I'll let you off this time. So where are we going?"

"Same place we go every night, the forest!" He exclaimed.

"Pinky and the Brain, so original," I shook my head in mock shame, "Jacob, I'm ashamed."

He just laughed as we pulled up by the forest.

We looked around for a while and failed to find any vampires, although I did see a figure moving with…blonde hair? I just discarded the thought of it being someone I knew and just went to Jacob's garage. He was finishing up his truck, and I sat inside the truck like usual. We started to make small talk about school.

"Did Mike give you a valentine?"

"Nope." I popped the 'p'.

"Eric?"

"Nope."

"Tyler?"

"Nope."

"Did they lose interest or something, even though that's hard to believe?"

"I guess; I received a valentine from Angela though. Which reminds me," I took out two heart-shaped chocolates and handed them to Jake," these are yours." We both smiled at each other.

"One is from Angela and one from…Lauren?" His voice was filled with disgust when he said Lauren's name.

"Hey, do you even know her?" I asked.

"Yeah, we met at your…prom." He said hesitantly. I realized he was concerned that I would be upset if he brought, so I smiled and made a sign for him to continue, "I was trying to wish my way out of there when she started to talk to me." I laughed.

"Did it work?" I asked half seriously.

He pouted his lips. "No! Well, it took a while till I could figure out a way to excuse myself and go!"

"Ok, ok, just to make you feel better, that one is from me."

"Thanks Bella!" He got up and hugged me.

"Thanks. Now could you help me?" I asked with all the breath I had.

"Yeah, sure!"

"Could you try not to kill me?"

"Oh, sorry Bells." He let go.

"Oh by the way, aren't you supposed to be going somewhere?" I remembered the little chat I had with the pack.

"Not that I know of, why?"

"Some of the pack seemed like they were plotting." I said deviously. They also said that the whole idea came from Leah so I guessed this would be a romantic evening.

He lifted an eyebrow and glanced at me. "You know something?"

"I'll give you a hint," I whispered in Jacob's ear, "Blood and Chocolate."

I pulled back and grinned as I saw Jacob's eyes pop out. "They have that movie! I've wanted to see that! They wanted to see that! Thank you Bells, I don't know how I'm going to thank you!"

"Did you get me any chocolate?" I said sarcastically, so it surprised me when I saw Jake put a box of chocolates in my hand. "I wasn't serious Jake!" I didn't like when people gave me things!

"Jeez, Bells, just take it! It's for Valentine's Day; the least you could do is accept it." I sighed in defeat.

"Did you pay a lot for it?" I asked, suspicion clear on my face.

"No, Bella, I didn't. I swear it." I searched his face for any signs of his lying, but I didn't see anything.

I hesitated, but I resigned, "I accept then. You can take me home, so you can watch your Blood and Chocolate movie."

"Well, you can come too if you want."

"Jake, you and Angela are one of a kind, but I'm not going to ruin both of your nights." He grimaced at my comment.

"You will not ruin either of our nights." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not going to ruin your romantic night, and no, I will not state why your night is romantic." He pleaded but he got nothing out of me as he drove me back home.

"Come on Bella, I need another hint." He whined as I got out of the car.

"No, Jake, I'm not going to ruin the surprise. You're just going to have to get there fast enough to find out soon."

He groaned, "Okay, but are you sure?"

"If I had a nickel," I muttered under my breath, "Yes, I'm fine!"

"Sure, sure, Bells, I'll see you tomorrow." I waved as he left and walked into the house. I locked the doors, went into my room, and finally flopped into my bed. I turned on my Ipod and listened to "The Way I Am" I turned so I was facing the ceiling and just stared into space. Man, I never felt so bored in my life. Well, I'm more miserable but I'm still bored. I was about to drift off to sleep when I heard a familiar melody play. It was melodic and somewhat heart-touching. I felt tears drop off my face and I realized what the song was. It was my lullaby. I thought it got erased with my other memories, but it was playing right now. I got up to go see if it was really my Ipod, but my attention was brought to a heart-shaped card with a black, velvet like box by it. I read the card first.

Please accept my gift. Although I know you would not accept me as your Valentine, I couldn't help but want you to accept something that was equally important to me as you are. You will always be dear to me, and will never fade from my memories as long as I shall live.

I felt more tears build up in my eyes. 'Maybe it was…' But I didn't continue that thought. It would never happen, even if I wished with all my heart and soul. I put the letter down and opened the box; I found a ring that was so beautiful, I couldn't help but to marvel at it. I didn't feel right keeping it, but I didn't know what to do so I wore it. It fit perfectly and I held it to my chest with so much care for it like it was my own special memento. I took the card in my hand and went to bed.

When I closed my eyes, I found myself back in the forest. I was holding on to the ring that mysteriously came off my finger. I got up and wiped the sleep out of my eyes. I put the ring back on my finger and admired it for a while. It was still as beautiful as ever. I smiled as I continued to adore it. It always drew a smile on my face whenever I saw it. It was my light in the dark. I felt a presence by me, but I was too wrapped up in the beauty of the ring to care. Reluctantly, I turned my attention to the presence behind me. The vampire was not Edward, but the vampire I would never expect to see again.
