Bella

We pulled up in front of my house. Charlie's police cruiser was in the driveway. I knew he was going to be raving mad that I left again for a few days without telling him.
''I'm going to get it from Charlie. He's going to send me to Jacksonville for sure this time.'' I told Jacob worried.

''You don't need to worry. I've got it all figured out. I'll come in with you.'' Jacob said.

''Thank you.'' I said as we got out of the car. Charlie came out of the door. I could see in the blood boiling in his face.

''ISABELLA! This is the last time you're doing this. Do you know how worried sick I was? If I was in my right mind I would call your mother.'' He said with extreme anger. He then noticed Jacob.

''Thank you for finding her Jacob. You can go home. I'll deal with Bella.'' Charlie told Jacob in a calmer tone.

''Actually Charlie, Bella's disappearing act is my fault this time.'' Jacob said as he nudged me gently and gave me a wink. I knew Charlie trusted Jacob. If he lied for me I knew Charlie would believe him.

''I beg your pardon?'' Charlie asked surprised.

''I took Bella to Los Angeles for a few days as a graduation present.'' Jacob said.

''I thought the camping trip was that.'' Charlie said.

''No, that was Edward's idea. I had to do something to make her realize she truly loved me. Me and Bella are together now.'' Jacob said with a smile.

''Get out! Seriously? You did something right Jacob.'' Charlie said like he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had a huge smile on his face. I had never since him happier.

''Yup. Boyfriend and girlfriend.''

''Finally, you have no idea how happy I am for you two. True love starts with friendship first. I've never believed in love at first sight. In my opinion it doesn't exist. To be honest Bella I never really liked Edward. Especially not after the things he's done to you over the last few weeks. You two belong together.'' Charlie said.

''You should have told me you we're going on a trip with Jacob. It doesn't matter though. Come on inside guys. We can order a pizza. I'll give your father a ring.'' Charlie said.
''All right but I can't stay too long.'' Jacob informed.

''Jacob, can you head inside? I'd like to speak to Bella alone for a minute.'' Charlie requested of Jake.

''Sure chief.'' Jacob said as he walked inside.

''Bella You did this once before where you disappeared for a few days without telling me but I'm glad Jacob was with you this time. I'm not mad at you, and you know I trust both of you. He's a good guy. I somehow knew from the first time you guys met you'd end up together. You made the right choice Bells and in the end that's what counts.'' Charlie said as he put his hand on my shoulder. ''Come on let's get a pizza.''
I smiled as I walked in, I knew I made the right choice but hearing it from Charlie just reassured me even more. We walked in and ordered a pizza. Jacob ate half the pie with his appetite. Charlie didn't seem to notice. Jacob told me he wanted me to come to the bonfire at First Beach tomorrow

It would be my official induction into the family. The following evening Jacob came to pick me up to take me to dinner at First Beach. A few minutes later we arrived at First Beach. Jared was there along with Kim , Embry, Quil, Seth, Paul,and Emily and of course Billy was there too. The bonfire was already going. All of the wolves had their shirts off. Jacob and me went to sit down on a log and he took his shirt off. It was bit cold so Jacob kept me close to keep me warm. The light from the fire made Jacob's skin and short black hair shiny. He looked so beautiful and handsome.

''Jacob, Bella welcome.'' Sam said. ''As pack leader is my job to welcome new members into the pack and welcome their imprints into our family. Today we welcome a new member into our family, Isabella Swan or as we call her Bella. Would you like to say any words Bella?'' Sam asked me. Why did he have to put me on the spot? I was never very good at speeches.

''Sam no offense but I'm not very good at speeches.'' I replied.

''It's tradition. It doesn't have to be in depth. You and many others have been through a lot to get to this moment. It's a moment I know you have waited for. Come on a few sentences.'' Sam persisted.

''All right.'' I said. I was amazed by my articulateness.
" When I first started at Forks High I never imagined I would be sitting here being welcomed into your family. When I first laid eyes on Edward Cullen I fell in love with him. I didn't know why but I was deeply in love with him or so I thought. I never once stopped to think about what was right under my nose. My best friend Jacob Black. I have loved Jacob since him and me were kids. I broke Jake's heart once when I came back from Italy the first time and I couldn't do it a second time. I would have had to give up so much to be with Edward and you guys would have become my enemy. All of you, my friends including Jacob would have had to hunt me. I was not willing to do that to you. With you guys I have a family. I will always be grateful to Edward. He was willing to put himself at risk in Italy to protect me as well as Jacob. That shows he does truly care about me but our feelings for each other are not the same. I can't begin to tell you how glad I was when Jacob finally imprinted. I am so happy to join your world. I love you Jacob so very much and to you Embry, Quil, Seth, Jared, Paul, Sam, and Emily and Kim, I could not ask for a better group of people to call my friends. Thank you guys. You're family to me.'' I sat back down and the rest of the pack applauded.

''Well said Bella. Well said. It is my pleasure to officially induct you into our family. Welcome to our world. Welcome to the world of werewolves. Now, I don't know about the rest of you but I'm hungry for some hot dogs.'' Sam said.

''All ready taken care of guys.'' Emily said as Billy and her took out a platter of hot dogs. I didn't see were they came from. There had to be at least forty on the platter. Jacob and the rest of his friends ate at least five hot-dogs apiece. I had three my self. As we were eating Billy told us some tribal legends. I also asked Quil, Jared and Seth some questions about the abilities they used in Italy.

''Quil how did you know where me and Jacob were?''

''I have a rare trait among our kind that hasn't been seen in centuries. I can sense the location of those I care about when they are in danger. I can also read the emotion and feelings of anyone around me.'' He told me.

''But I've never heard of wolves having special powers. Your power as well as Seth's and Jared's seem so out of the blue. Those powers especially yours Jared would have been useful in the Newborn battle. ''

''Actually, its not unheard of. It has been written in tribal legend that werewolves can have special powers and not know about it. They are suppressed until great emotional stress and anger releases them.'' Jared said.

''Wouldn't the battle have been that?''

"There are some things we are likely never going to fully understand.'' Quil said mysteriously.

''I guess your right.'' I replied.

''Jared, what's your last name? You never told me it.'' I asked.

''Eaglequill''

''That's a awesome last name and what's Paul's?''

''Nighthorse.'' Jared told me.

''Jacob were did you learn your martial arts skills? You were amazing fighting the Volturi.'' I said.

''In werewolf training. We have to be good fighters in our human form and wolf form.'' Jacob told me.

When we were done eating Jacob asked me to go for a walk with him on the beach. It was so romantic just me and Jake on the Beach holding hands under the beautiful star filled sky. Me and Jacob started dating the next day.

After about seven months of dating he took me to another bonfire on the beach with all his friends when we were done eating hot dogs he asked me to take another walk with him. Before we left he told his friends to be quiet and say nothing. I got a feeling I knew was coming. I knew what he was going to say or at least I thought I did. We walked for a few hundred feet when Jacob stopped and spoke.

''Bella there is something I've been wanting to tell you or should I say ask you.'' Jacob said.

''Take your time Jake.''

''I've loved you since I was a little boy. I always knew we were meant to be.…I was so…I was just…Oh heck I'll just say it.'' He said as he got on his knee and pulled out a small box from his pocket.

''Before you ask I didn't buy this it belonged to my mother.'' He said as he opened the box. Inside was a beautiful moonstone ring. ''Isabella Swan will you marry me?'' He asked. I almost cried when I heard those words. I love Jacob with all my heart and want to spend the rest of my life with him and have a family with him. I immediately gave him my answer.

''Yes, Jacob Black. Yes I will.'' I said nodding and crying tears of joy as I put the ring on and hugged him.

''I love you Jacob Black. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.'' I said as I kissed him.

''That we will. I love you too Bella Swan.'' Jacob said as he kissed me back under the beautiful star filled sky with the Pacific Ocean behind us. At last I had found true love. I couldn't have asked for a more romantic, more beautiful and perfect moment than this.
