Previously: "Bella Jake where are you going." Charlie asked us disapproving. I was shocked at this I didn't expect him to disapprove.

"dad, I'm 18. Jake's my boyfriend." I explained a little worried.

"I just kidding, bells. Just remember my rules."

We went to my room and JUST slept. Ok we actually kissed a lot but nothing else.

Graduation

"Brett Stone, treasury," the principle called out the guy's in front of me name and like every other student he called out their position in the school, Ahh I'm next! "Isabella Swan, Valedictorian." I heard the pack plus Kim, Emily, Charlie and Billy cheer like they did with Jared too.

Mom and Phil's flight got delayed so they should be here in time for the celebration dinner Emily is throwing for me and Jared. "Congratulations, Bella." The principle said only loud enough for me to hear, he especially like me in the school since I started at the end of senior year and was able to be valedictorian.

As soon as they dismissed us I went to find my family. Charlie gave me an awkward side hug and Billy did a fist pump trying to be cool, which caused us all, including Charlie, to start laughing, I got a hug and congratulations from everybody else except for Jacob, I left him for last.

Actually where is Jake? I see him running towards me, he picks me up as he hugs and kisses me sweetly. From behind his back he produced a bouquet of a bunch of different colors.

"congratulations! Do you know what kind of flowers are they?" he asked only low enough for me no hear, I just shook my head, "their gladioli, they mean love at first sight."

I wrapped my arm around his neck and hugged him again and whispered, "thank you Jake, I love you."

"I love you, too bells."

"sorry to break this love fest kids but we have to go," Billy said, kind of embarrassing having your boyfriend's dad break up you and your boyfriend's embrace.

"wait where did everyone go?" everyone else had already left except for Jared who was talking to his mom, Billy and Charlie.

"Oh they already went up to the house, we should probably get going. Jared is going with us, since he was talking to his family when the others left," Charlie explained and I just nodded.

Since all we had was my truck, Charlie was driving with Billy in the passenger and the three of us were in the bed of truck along with Billy's wheelchair. It only took a few minutes to get to house but strangely enough all the lights were of. I guess Emily had them go by the store or something to get some last minute things.

I just let us in the house and flipped the lights on before anyone of us got hurt, "Surprise!!!" a mob of people that was probably half the tribe shouted and threw streamers at Jared and I. I noticed that the Clearwaters were there, Sue and Seth looked sincerely happy while Leah had a fake smile on, I can't blame her though.

Emily came up to me and hugged me, "Em, you shouldn't have. This must have been so much trouble."

"oh Bella it was nothing, it was the least we could do for our leader. Plus you're valedictorian that's a pretty big deal, and this isn't only yours but Jared's also." She pointed out. Sam who was next to her gave me a hug again.

I noticed that the door to the backyard was open and everyone was going out there. I followed the crowd and saw that there were tables everywhere with food and music and decorations.

"Congratulations Bella," Leah and sue told me as soon as I saw them. I hugged both of them and congratulated Leah also. Sue left us alone as she went by Charlie.

"So how are handling this, Leah," I asked her with concern.

She knew what I meant, "it's hard Bella, but I see that my cousin and Sam are meant to be together. It's easier knowing the whole imprint thing and that Sam just didn't chose to abandon me for my cousin."

"Well I know my brother feels bad about what happened, he didn't have a choice."

"ya I understand. Isn't your mom and step-dad supposed to be here?"

as soon as she asked Jake came from behind me and wrapped his arms around me, "yes they are. They just got here actually." As soon as Jake told us that I untangled myself from him and headed inside.

"Bella! Congratulations sweetie, I am so proud of my valedictorian. I'm just so sorry I couldn't have been here for your speech." Renée hugged me.

"it's ok mom, you know I hate attention, the less people to stare at me the better," Renée just laughed at me, "so Charlie told me you had a surprise, I hate surprises so just tell me."

She just shook her head, "later."

The rest of party went pretty smoothly, near the end Sam started making speeches, my family and Jared's family both made speeches about us, including the pack. I was sitting on Jake's lap as my mom was the last one to go up.

"Hello everyone, some of you might remember me from my childhood here; I'm Renée Dwyer, once Black," I didn't know mom's maiden name was black. "Well I can say I never thought I'd be back here, only my daughter Bella could get me to come back. Bella I'm so proud of you, excepting your roots even though I hid it from you your whole life and coming back to it your senior year. I couldn't have been easy and to be valedictorian shows all of us how hard you work. I'm so glad to see you happy. And Jake, thank you for being the reason for my daughter's happiness. Now I know that I told you that I had a surprise for you but it's not only for you, it's for both you and Jake. Phil hand her the file," Phil handed me a manila folder I didn't noticed he had. I just held the folder, not opening it, "Jake open it, or she will never do it." everyone started laughing.

Jake opened it in front of both of us. Inside was a picture of a beautiful 2-story house, that must have cost a fortune, "m-mom what is this." I was still in shock.

"It's your gift from Phil and I."

"YOU GOT US A HOUSE." I shouted, I hated when people spent money on me.

"Bella, relax. I'm your mother and I'm allowed to buy you stuff. Plus it's time you got your own place, you are 18 after all." tears started to form in my eyes and I rushed to hug her.

"I hope you enjoy it honey. It's all been paid for and it's under your name. First thing tomorrow I'm taking you and Jake up there." I just nodded.

After the party everyone left. Mom and Phil went to a hotel, since there is no room in here and it would be too awkward to stay at Charlie's. I helped Emily clean and I'm now cuddling with Jake on the couch in the living room.

"Can you believe this Jake, A HOUSE? What was my mom thinking?" I said.

"I know. But I can't say I'm not glad. Think about it, though I'm not an adult in years I'm physically an adult and you're an adult. We can't have an adult relationship in other people's houses. I can't wait to finally be able to move in with you." Jake lightly kissed my nose.

"Well I can wait for you two to have an adult relationship," Sam walked in interrupting us. I just threw a pillow at him.

"But out Sam."

"I don't like the idea of you living by yourself."

"First Sam, I'm 18 it's time I moved out, and second Jake is moving in with me so I won't be living by myself."

"Well that's the part I don't like." This caused Jake to erupt in laughter.

"I feel the love bro."

so i want to do some lemons in one of the future chapters so if anyone would like to help me it would be appreciated :)
