Jacob took hold of my hand, pulling me to his side.
'You look amazing' he whispered into my ear softly, making shivers run up and down my spine. I blushed and smiled 'Thank you' I replied, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
Tonight was going be such a fun night. What more could a girl want? A party marking the beginning of summer, surrounded by her best friends and boyfriend. Ideal.
I glanced over my shoulder before walking closer to Mikes house and smiled to myself. Jasper and Alice walked hand in hand, the picture of happiness. Ahead of us, Edward and Emmett fooled around while Rosalie laughed hysterically at them.
I sighed with satisfaction as we entered the house and squeezed Jacobs's hand.
Nothing could ruin this content feeling.
The bass of the music hit me as we walked further into the house. We shimmied through the hallway, passing the crowds that were leant against the walls, casually sipping from bottles and cans.
Jacob still had hold of my hand, glancing at me over his shoulder as he led us to the drinks table. We weaved in and out of dancing bodies, the bass and beat heavier in the main living room. Bright lights flashed all over the walls, setting the perfect scene.
As we reached our destination, I watched as my group of friends poured themselves drinks and turned to scan the room. The song changed to a familiar track I'd heard on Alice's ipod, reminding me of the silly nights we spent dancing around her bedroom.
God I can't do this any more,
though ill be laid down on the floor,
as many feet walk through the door
I'm not alone
The heavy beat kicked in, sending the dancing crowd into a frenzy of jumping, throwing their hands into the air high above them. I laughed to myself as I watched Jasper and Alice back into the crowd, merging in and dancing close. I pulled my jacket off, resting it over my arm.
Jacob passed me a drink, wrapping his free hand around my waist. I leant into him, taking a sip. Delicious, he always knew how to mix my favourite drink perfectly. I smiled at him and went back to scanning the crowd of moving bodies, loving the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere.
Emmett and Rosalie disappeared into the crowd, pulling Edward with them.
One thing I would thank Rose and Em for later was for including Edward, even if it was awkward. Seeing him stood alone tore my heart apart, making me feel guilty. I knew Edward wasn't fond of Jacob so when we all went out I'd try to keep the distance between them as much as possible.
The song changed to something slower, making Jacob pull me towards the dance floor. I scowled at him, shaking my head. He pulled me close when we reached the centre of the crowd; everyone surrounding us were now swaying side to side with a partner. He wrapped his arms around my waist, taking my jacket from my free arm. What was he doing? He knew I couldn't dance.
'Relax Bels, Ill lead' He whispered into my ear, wrapping my arms around his neck for me. I leaned into him then, breathing in his smell. Swaying from side to side, I looked up over his shoulder.
I watched as Edward left the crowd and made his way through the back doors, the lack of light in the room causing him to become a silhouette in the moonlight that lit the ground from high in the sky
The song came to an end as I pulled away from Jacob. 'Thank you for dancing with me Bella' He smiled at me, satisfied. I half smiled back at him and replied 'I love you Jacob Black'.
He looked deep into my eyes, making me freeze up, smiling that amazing smile. 'I love you more' He replied, sending yet another shiver of joy up my spine. I stepped further away, loosening my grip on his hand.
'Are you ok if I leave you, im just going to go find Edward' He nodded.
'I'll miss you' He whispered, kissing me on the cheek. I blushed as he gave me my jacket back and watched as he turned away, heading towards the crowd of guys stood by the bottom of the stairs. Thankful Jacobs's friends were here, I spun on my heel and made my way into the garden.
The cold air that hit me as I stepped outside was welcome and refreshing. Pulling my jacket on, in case of catching a chill, I made my way onto the patio. Finding Edward wasn't hard, as he was sat down on a patio chair, nursing a can and chatting to Mike.
He must be desperate for company, everyone knows he isn't exactly Mikes biggest fan I though to myself.
People surrounded them, smoking and chatting between themselves casually.
I walked over and perched on the arm of the chair, smiling at both Edward and Mike. They both smiled back.
'Enjoying yourself Bella?' Mike asked me, letting me join their conversation. I nodded eagerly, taking the can from Edwards's hand and taking a sip. 'Its great' I replied between swigs of drink.
Edward laughed and took the can back. 'Go get your own' he exclaimed. I smiled down at him cheekily and stood up, straightening out my dress.
'I was hunting you down for a dance' I said, holding my hand out to help him up. Mike laughed lightly at Edwards's dismissive expression. I moaned slightly and stamped my foot like a spoilt child, pulling out the puppy dog eyes.
'Pwwwease?' I begged. Edward laughed and took my hand, balancing himself onto his feet.
I kept hold of his hand as I lead him back into the house. 'Seeya later' Mike called after us.
The room had become far more crowded, the make shift dance floor heaving. We weaved in and out of people until we were in the centre of the crowd. I dropped Edwards hand as we started dancing, both laughing at each other. I had to admit, Edward was a good dancer when he tried.
The night passed and the drink kept flowing. By now, I had managed a good few dances with my friends. I found myself leaning against the banister of the stairs; stretched onto my tiptoes trying to find everyone. There they were, in the centre of the crowd dancing in a group.
I scowled to myself at how painful my feet were, the shoes were burning the souls of my feet.
Climbing the stairs, I started waving my arms around to get Alice's attention. Within seconds she was looking at me, slowing down her dance moves. I pointed up the stairs, indicating for her to meet me. She pushed her thumb up into the air and nodded; now weaving her way out of the crowd towards me.
We staggered up the stairs, giggling between ourselves at nothing relevant.
'I have got to get these shoes off!' I exclaimed, reaching the top step. Alice laughed loudly behind me. I headed for the bathroom, picturing myself perched on the edge of the bath comfortably, bare footed.
Banging on the door, Alice was still giggling. 'I think it's busy…' She almost shouted, taking a step back to look at me. I shrugged and turned, moving towards a bedroom.
She followed me closely. 'So where did Jake get to?' She asked, her voice sounding wobberly. I smiled to myself and shrugged again 'Last time I saw him he was with his mates'
Jacob and I were in love, but we weren't attached at the hip. We each had our own friends so it had always seemed silly to force each other to stay together at parties and gatherings.
I pulled at a handle and swung the door open, falling into the room. Alice fell onto me, making us both laugh hysterically.
We straightened up quickly and looked towards the bed.
'Oh god! Sorry!' I exclaimed, trying to cover my eyes. A couple were on the bed, a girl straddling the guy, and both of their tops were thrown across the floor.
As I pushed back against Alice, trying to force her out of the room to leave the couple in privacy, Alice froze on the spot. She may be small, but I couldn't move her.
I looked at her face, confused. She was staring at the couple, her eyes wide with shock.
'Alice? What's wrong?' I asked, glancing over my shoulder back at the couple.
My face fell, my eyes opening as wide as Alice's.
Looking closer, I could clearly tell that the girl was Victoria Stanley, and the boy. The boy was Jacob.
