Jade's Point of view

"Jade can you please grab the mail for me. The mailman just pulled away." Emily yells as she starts getting lunch for the boys ready.

"Sure, Sure" I reply grabbing my shoes from the closet floor.

Walking back from the mailbox, I see a letter from Mr. Jenks addressed to me. I opened it up and began to read it.

Dear Miss Jade Uley ,

I finished working on the paper work for Sam and Emily to get custody of you. I spoke to your father regarding this. Your father wasn't sure what you really wanted. We came to the agreement that he would sign the emancipation papers for you. Everything went through the courts already. This is your copy of all the paper work. Please let Mr. Jasper know if there is anything else I can do for you. Attached is a letter that your father asked me to deliver to you. He also included one for your brother Sam. He loved you both very much, please take the time out and read it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jenks

I placed the envelope in my back pocket, giving the rest of the mail to Emily.

"Emily, I need to get some fresh air. I am going to take a walk to the beach. I will be back in a little bit, are you ok making lunch without me, here to help.

Laughing at me she replied " Oh no, so few boys, so much food; What will I ever do. Go ahead Jade, I am used to this already. If you see Kim, send her my way to help."

Walking out of the house towards the beach my mind was in so many different places. Looking down on my finger was the engagement ring that Paul gave me. My brother Sam didn't really like that one very much. He didn't say anything to me about it. I figured it on my own. When Sam found out, both of the boys went outside, and when they returned they were both beaten up, and very bloody. I didn't say anything to them about it, I was not in the mood to play tug of war with them. Especially when I am the rope.

I found out later on from Emily, that Leah gave them both hell over doing that. Leah may be sweet as a button to me. However I have seen first hand how she can keep all the boys in line. Leah has been one of my bestfriends since I moved in here. We hang out all the time, I know that Paul has issues with that because it takes time from us. Sam on the other hand loves the fact that Leah has taken it open herself to protect me from the packs dirty minds, and the stunts they pull every day.

Getting to the beach I looked around to make sure I was alone. Sitting down I grabbed the letter out of my pocket and began to read.

To my beloved daughter Jade,

I know that if you are reading this letter, I am not here with you anymore. I am so sorry that I was not strong enough to stop Mason from hurting you. Please believe me when I say that, I would lay down my life, in order to save yours.

I know that I have not been the best father in the world. I have made so many major mistakes in my life. However having you was one of the best moments of my life.

Mr. Jenks came to see me yesterday. He is the attorney, that is handing the case for Sam. Your brother wants me to sign all rights of you, over to him. I want you to have the life that you should have. I know that Sam could provide a great, safe, stable environment. Just please, make sure you back up if anyone starts to shake when they get mad. I know, you know what I mean by that.

I wanted you to live with Sam but, I also wanted you to have your own choice. I agreed to emancipate you, You need to make your own choices in life. I know deep down that you will choice to stay with him. I however remember the way that the boy (Paul) looked at you at the hospital staircase. If I remember correctly he was seeing the sun for the fist time.

Jade, I love you with all my heart. Please forgive me, for the life that I gave you. I hope that your life now is great, and it is the best that you could ever have.

I love you Jade! With all of my heart.

Love always,

Dad

After reading the letter over twice, I just wanted to cry. My father was a man of very few words. I can't even say that I ever hated him the way Sam did. I remembered the good times that we did share when my mother was still alive. I remember the long snow fights in the back yard. I remember he wouldn't give up, when I was learning to ride my bike. The stories that he would tell me, when I went to bed at night. He would even cover for me, when I didn't want to eat my vegetables.

Feelings about what all happened in my life, started to come back to me. I lifted my knee's up to my chest, and let all the tears for my father out. Someone sat down next to me, and grabbed me into a hug.

"Are you ok, Jade" Sam asked, looking around like there was danger near.

"I'm ok, it's just that we got a letter from the attorney today." I said handing over the letter to him to read.

"Dad wrote me a letter" I said holding it up to him. "He wrote one for you also," handing him the letter that had his name on it.

"Sam no, Don't rip it up." I yelled at him. "This is the last thing that you have of Dads, read it please. After you read it, throw it out if you want. Just for me, give him one last opportunity to make it right. Looking at him with tears in my own eyes, pleading with him.

"Fine, I will read it but, me receiving it from him stays between us only ok." He finally said after a minute.

"Jade, it's time to go." Yelled Leah, Jared, and Alice as they walked over to us.

"Did I forget something, I don't remember planning anything with you guys today? I said picking my brain, I didn't remember anything.

"Well" Alice began "you didn't plan anything with us. We did all the planning. Now lets go so we are not late. The rest of the girls are already at Emily house getting ready to leave."

"I need to go find Paul" Jared said to Sam. "Do you have any idea where he is at Sam."

"I just saw him a few minutes ago, he was on the way back to his house. Sam said looking at all of them.

"I will go get him" Jared said to all of us. "Sam, remember you need to be back home in thirty minutes, so us guys can leave.

"Wait! Where is everyone going" I asked looking at Alice, who was jumping up and down with excitement.

"You will see soon enough" Leah said with a smile on her face. "Now lets go, before I have to throw you over my shoulder and carry you home."

Leah and Alice grabbed me off the ground, and suddenly I was walking.

With one final look back, I can see that Sam finally opened his letter.

Sam's point of view

I was on patrol with Paul all day. He was so happy, every thought that he had was about the upcoming wedding. He was very nervous about it all. He replayed a conversation earlier that he had with Jade.

"Paul, do you want to make me happy." She asked him, letting the bait just sit there.

With out even thinking about it he replied "I would do anything to make you happy"

Good, because Alice was showing me Edward's and Bella's weeding that they recorded. The wedding was perfect, I want my weeding a lot like that. The only thing I really want to change from that is the vowels. I want us to write are own to each other; ok Paul.

"Shit!" Not that, anything but that he says in his head.

"Jade, honey I am not a writer, I like tradition. Paul says trying to weasel his way out of it.

"So, there is something that you wont do for me." She says looking down to the ground. Knowing what her sad, upset face would do to him.

"Jade" he starts to say to her but, she cuts him off.

"That ok, I jus wanted to have the wedding that I dream of at night. I understand. I wouldn't want you to not be comfortable at your own wedding. Even if it means, I won't feel like Cinderella. I still get to be your wife. The one person you need in this world. She says placing her face in the pillow, curious to see how look it is going to take him to agree to do this for her.

"Baby, don't cry please, we can write are own words. I promised you a wedding of your dreams. I will give the best speech ever, I promise.

"Wow" I thought it must of taken him all of thirty three seconds to agree to that, laughing at Paul.

Growling, Paul continues to show me the rest.

"I love you Paul!" wrapping her arms around him.

Poor Paul, I thought to myself. I am glad Emily didn't make me do that for our wedding. All I had to day that day was show up.

At the end of our shift Paul said that he wanted to get some sleep. Tonight he wanted to take Jade out to dinner and their park.

Walking back to my house, I heard a small cry from the beach. Looking over to the girl, I saw it was Jade.

I sat down next to her and pulled her into my arms to comfort her. She showed me the papers that the lawyer had send including a letter from good old Dad. Soon Leah and the others showed up and Jared reminded me about Paul's bachelor party tonight. When everyone left, I pulled out the letter from my father. I promised Jade that I would at least read it once.

Dear Son,

I hope that this letter finds it way to you. I also hope that you are reading it and didn't throw it away in the garbage like I would have.

I know that I have not been the ideal father figure to you. There are reasons that I had to leave you with you mother and venture on my own. The main reason for me doing this was in fact that I was not very mentally stable at the time you were born. I checked myself in the hospital and for over three years worked at getting myself better. When I finally did get better I came back home. Your mother didn't think that me being around you was the best idea. I have always been there for you. I have enclosed concert tickets and plays that you were in so you know that I am not lying to you. I watched your baseball, and football games. I saw you on your prom night with that beautiful girl. I cried at your graduation.

I always wanted you in my life son. You have grown to be such a fine young man. I only wish that one day I did get the chance to show you how much I cared for you.

That day in the hospital, Mason was there with me. I needed to push every button that you had, so that you would win the final fight. I couldn't stand the idea of actually loosing you.

Please look after Jade for me. She is a bright, understanding girl but, I am sure you already know that.

There is just one more thing that I need to tell you. I am not sure if you realize it or not but, you also have a brother. He lives around the corner by your house. His name is Embry, he doesn't know anything about me. His mother and I had a thing a while back and it just didn't work out. I just thought you would want to know. I am leaving it up to you, if you want him or Jade to know about it.

I love you son; and I am so proud of you. Please be the man to your children that I was not, to you.

Love always

Dad

Looking inside the envelope ,their was pictures of me at my grade school baseball games. Tickets from the plays that I did do in school. Their was also a prom picture of Leah and I. Maybe, just maybe I thought my father wasn't as bad as I thought!

Please review this story. I want to know if people like it or not. Are people reading this? Review please because, at this point I am not sure I want to continue with it or not. That is why I didn't write the bachelor party yet. I don't know if I should go further or not. So if you want me to continue you guys need to show me someone out there is reading it! Thanks
