Bella P.O.V

"Ten miles from town and I just broke down. Spittin out smoke on the side of the road. I'm out here alone just trying to get home"

I sung at the top of my lungs as I did my makeup in my washroom. Getting ready for a pool party that Jacob was throwing. Leah walked in looking beautiful as always. She had long black hair a perfect figure and nice hazel eyes. She was gorgeous, I would kill for her tanned skin.

"Are you almost ready?" She said annoyed as she strolled in touching all my makeup. Using a lip gloss.

"Takes time to look this good." I said not really paying her any mind as I continued putting on my makeup. Bree strolled in already dressed in a bikini top and shorts. Seth started banging on the door.

"Can you three idiots hurry up. If I don't get there in half hour Jasper said they're gonna get the keg without me!" He yelled banging on the bathroom door. We ignored him continuing to get ready. He busted the door open covering his eyes and the three of us just stared at him annoyed.

"I'm done, I'm done" I said annoyed. It had been two weeks since the whole bar fight fiasco and things had calmed down since then. Everyone was hanging out often, I really liked it. Bree and Embry were getting really close. Jasper and I had spent a lot of time going on dates and hanging out at his house. The whole group was like one big clump of hair. You could separate us but it didn't make sense, just leave it all tangled up. I liked it, I loved it. All of us piled downstairs. Charlie and Sue turned their heads to us from the television they were watching.

"Where ya guys going?" Charlie asked as he looked at all of us with our overnight bags.

"Pool party we're sleeping at Jacobs. NOW. LETS. GO" Seth said aggravated at all of us girls pushing us out the door.

"Ugh your pinching me." I complained.

"You're messing up my hair! DAD!" Leah yelled. Charlie just rubbed his temples and ignored us.

"Thank god they're not coming back tonight." Is all he said focusing back on the TV. Sue just laughed and turns back to TV. We all piled up in the back of Charlie's Range as it was big enough to carry all of us and Leah sped towards Jacob house in La Push. When she pulled up in front of his place I looked at It in awe. It was gorgeous and big, probably about the same size as my parents house back home, but unlike our modern atrocity this had a very chalet kind of vibe. I loved it.

"Yeah." Seth said. "Jacob's family is kind of the richest family in La Push. His grandfather Ephraim started Black construction expanded it all over the world." He said to my reaction.

"Wow its gorgeous." I said as I got out of the car. Jacob was there to greet us in the front with a huge smile when he saw Leah. I smiled softly to myself. I always knew all of us were pretty well off but I guess knowing that Jacob had a bunch of money and was still crazy about her kind of made me happy. I hoped they stayed together, their loved seem genuine. I also loved that Jacob wasn't a prick, he was the sweetest. Most guys with that kind of wealth were always cocky assholes. Not Jacob though. There were a bunch of tanned guys riding pocket bikes all around in the front being rowdy and laughing. Jacob just smiled when we all walked up.

"Hey guys, this is Leah's two sisters Bella and Bree." Jacob said swinging his arm around her. "This is Embry you already know him. Then there's Samuel, Quil and Paul." He introduced us I smiled and shook all their hands. They all seemed friendly enough.

"Bella, Jasper's inside waiting for you. And what took you so fucking long?" He then said turning to Seth.

"Bro I live with three fucking chicks what do you think?" He said as we all walked into the house. The party hadn't started yet we were just coming early to set up and chill, hide the valuables before people came in. Jacob's dad was going to be out of town for a few days and the weather was nice. So that automatically meant pool party in his eyes. I walked into the rather large kitchen that had beer and copious amounts of different party snacks on the kitchen island. Jasper and Mike were stuffing their faces and fighting each other for the bag of chips they were sharing. Both shirtless. Jessica and Rosalie were in a corner laughing about something on Rosalie's phone and Alice and Edward were being cute as shit and playing thumb wrestling together in their own little world. Emmett was sitting down eating a Big Mac like it was the best thing he'd ever eaten.

"Hello." I said placing my bags down. Jasper looked at me and smiled I went into his arms he kissed my forehead.

"Your breath smells like cheese puffs." I said disgusted. He laughed leaning in to kiss me and I let him kissing him back not really caring. My little bad boy, who was good to me.

"Ugh get a room!" Bree said. Embry walked in and she smiled for him he smiled back. Wrapping his arms around her and giving her a hug. I raised my eyebrow at them in the embrace. She didn't really talk about her and Embry but I had a feeling they were going to be official soon.

"Alright people! All the guys we're going to get the kegs girls…. Stay here and… do what females do." Jacob said grabbing his car keys and Japer did the same before he let out an obnoxious burp.

"Nice." Mike said fist bumping him.

I rolled my eyes as all the guys left and all the girls just shrugged as we started lounging around the huge ass house. Leah and I went upstairs into Jacobs room where she was used to being, but I was not. It was pretty big, it looked like a typical boys' room though. The both of us were sitting on his bed, as we went though her phone her showing me various people that would be coming.

"Oh my God what is with this hair?" I asked.

"Yeah I have no idea at least she's not wearing the overalls that she wore. For a year fucking straight." Leah said with disgust as we scrolled down Instagram.

"Who's that?" I asked looking at a really weird kid, he had really greasy black hair and pimples the size of saucers. He was in my homeroom and he always tried to talk to me. He got picked on a lot so I always tried to be nice to him.

"Oh." Leah said softly. "That's Ben he's a little… weird I feel bad for him he doesn't really catch a break." She said as she scrolled.

"Yeah I always try to be nice to him." I said getting up and getting a water from Jacob's mini fridge. Smiling at a photo of him and Leah at the zoo. They were both wearing animal hats looking lame. He busted into the room with no shirt and a beer in his hand.

"People are coming, get half naked and get downstairs." He ordered the two of us before he left the room. I rolled my eyes and the both of us did in fact follow demands. There were a lot of people from school, music was blasting and I laughed at the antics of Jacobs friends. They were all huge teddy bears making us all laugh even though they were buff. After I had a few beers in me I was dancing with my sisters and Rosalie on the counter top and Alice was just laughing off to the side, being the posh girl she was she didn't want to take off her shoes. Jasper saw me as he was in the corner player poker with some guys from the Football team and rolled his eyes amused. The party carried on until the wee hours of the morning but after Jasper had a lot to drink, he took my hand and carried me up to one of the many guest bedrooms. It was dark we could hear the music thumping from downstairs, but we didn't care. We made love.

"I love you Jasper." I admitted quietly.

"I love you too Bella." He said quietly without hesitation as he held me tightly to him. I rested my head on his chest and he stroked my hair softly.

"Come to LA with me?" He said after a few moments of silence. I looked up at him.

"What?" I whispered quietly with a smile he couldn't see in the dark.

"Come to LA with me. I have my trust we could get a nice little place. We could live comfortably… I'll take care of you. Just come with me." He said softly. I put my chin on his chest softly. I knew I had my trust too and that we'd be okay with both of ours. It was just nice to know that he was willing to throw away years of partying in university to be with me.

"Jasper are you sure? What if you feel like you're missing out?"

"I've done enough partying for a lifetime. You don't have to tell me now… but. Just think about it." He asked.

"Yes." I answered smiling.

"Yes?" He asked softly.

"Yeah… I'll follow you everywhere." I said before I rested my head down back on his chest. I fell asleep and had the most peaceful dreams ever in the arms of the love of my life.

Jasper P.O.V

I woke up to Bella asleep in my arms. How we spent the whole night in that position really made me wonder. We usually ended up sprawled all over the place. She was still fast asleep so I tried not to wake her as I reached for my vibrating phone.

"Hello?" I said groggily.

"Jasper?" Said a soft voice. I knew that voice, I had spent days alone crying wishing I could hear that voice again. Now I just wished it would go away.

"Maria? Why are you calling?" I asked looking over at Bella's naked sleeping body. I gently got up as to not wake her and went into the balcony.

"I tried to call you. Where've you been?"

"Busy Maria… I can't do this with you right now." I said as I overlooked Jacob's huge backyard. I looked back at Bella sleeping on the bed and shook my head. I wouldn't do this, I loved that girl more than anything. Bella was the breath of fresh air I didn't even know I needed. I wanted a life with her. She was it for me.

"Jasper." Maria said it sounded like she was crying. "Jasper I made a mistake, you can't seriously still be mad at me? I was dumb and in high school and I regret everything." She said quietly as she cried. I closed my eyes.

"I'm not upset with you anymore. I'm not." I said softly. "But I… I moved on M, and I love her." I said quietly. There was nothing but silence on the other end. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. There was a point in my life where Maria wanting me back was all I hoped for, all I fucking wanted. Now? I cared for her but I just couldn't. She pales in comparison to my love for Bella. When she said nothing I continued.

"I'm sorry, you and I went through a lot and I did forgive you but I can't… Maria I don't love you anymore." I whispered the last part with shame. Not because it wasn't true, but because it was. I honestly thought that I would marry the girl once upon a time. I would've killed for her once upon a time and actually almost did. But she was toxic, and I never realized until I had Bella.

"Jasper!" She strangled out in between her tears. I closed my eyes and a tear fell from my own. "Don't do this. I am so different now… I am." She cried.

"I don't doubt that you are… I just can't." Was all I said before I hung up the phone and shook my head. Deleting her number and blocking it for good measure before I let out a huge breath. The door slid open and Bella's arms snaked around me from behind me.

"Hey you okay?" She asked in a raspy voice. I shook my head being honest with her.

"No, Maria just called me." I said and she let go of me and gently turned me to face her. She wasn't angry or anything just a little taken aback.

"What'd she say?"

"That she wants me back… I told her I wasn't in love with her anymore." I admitted. She nodded her head slowly.

"Are you sure? It'll hurt like hell if you want to be with her… but I'd rather know now then be surprised later. Don't try and not hurt my feelings. Just give me the truth." She whispered to me. I shook my head sure of myself.

"Couple months ago Maria telling me she loved me and wanted to be with me would make me the happiest guy alive… and now I just-

I said drifting off don't even know. I didn't really feel anything besides guilt that I didn't love her back knowing I did for so long.

"I feel guilty for having to tell her." I verbalized my feelings out loud. "But I don't feel bad for not loving her anymore… I don't" I said finally kind of with a little shrug of my shoulders. Accepting what was. It was true, over time Maria kind of just became smaller and smaller in my mind day by day until one day I didn't even notice she wasn't there at all. Bella just took a little step toward me before she put her hand in mine, I pulled her into my arms.

"I want a life with you… I want to go off to LA with you. I don't know what the hell is going to happen but I want to figure it out… with you by my side Bells." I whispered to her snuggling my head in between her neck. She kissed me with a watery smile.

"Me too Jasper… I have so much hope for us… For our life together." She said quietly as he held me. I kissed her forehead and didn't say anything as we stood there. Making a united front that it was just us against everyone that had something to say about it.

-Later-

"Is this cheese?" Quil asked as he went through Jacobs cupboards. We were all cleaning but he was trying to find something to eat. He was a bottomless pit that fucking guy.

"Do you ever stop fucking eating?" Seth asked with his eyes closed as Heather delicately placed a hot towel to his head. It was his first hangover and he wasn't handling it well. Seth had pretty much became one of the guys, he and Heather were everywhere one of us were. He had made friends with the younger brothers and sisters of the group and for that I was grateful that he'd still have his own click, when we left off to college. Although I was hoping if he'd like he would come with Bella and I to LA. I don't know if he'd want too though maybe after high school. What could I say? The kid had grown on me. He and Heather were officially a couple and he treated her greatly. Puppy love was nice to watch.

"That hot towel ain't gonna shit for him baby girl." I said amused as Heather dabbed delicately. Seth groaned and Heather smiled.

"Yah… Advil and a burger is the only way out of that one." Leah said to the two kids shaking her head.

"Congratulations on your first hangover buddy." Embry said giving Seth a shake. Who just groaned out loud at the pain that possibly caused.

"You're playing with the big boys now." He teased before he walked away. Bree just went up to her little brother and gave him three Advil and some water. He took it graciously. Just then everything went quiet when we heard the door open. We looked to find Billy Black walking in wearing a suit with a loosened tie and a briefcase, looking exhausted. All of us looked like a deer in headlights as the man who is not expected to be back for a few days is here. When he saw a bunch of kids and his house kind of in disarray he dropped his keys. Quil never one for social cues spoke first.

"Mr. Black! What's up!? Cheese?" He said offering him some string cheese. The man just narrowed his eyes at the boy and then his eyes darted everywhere in the room. Just then a woman came through the door giggling behind him and when she saw us she too looked shocked.

"Mom?" Jacob asked confused.

"Aren't his parents divorced?" I whispered to Mike and Emmett confused. Bella nudged me as to tell me to shut up and I listened.

"Sweetie… what are you doing here I thought… your dad said you were at Leah's." She said. "Hey Leah sweetie how are you." She said waving kind of awkward. Leah waved hesitantly back but didn't say anything.

"Mom what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in New York?" He asked hesitantly knowing his mother and father had been divorced for years. It was a big thing I remember there was a huge custody agreement all those years ago that shook the town. Sarah had demanded a chunk of cash and full custody of all three kids. The judge had decided that Billy would keep Jacob and that Sarah would take Jacob's sisters to live with her in New York.

"Uh-

"No forget that what the hell is all of this? Why is there bubbles all over the fucking place!?" Billy yelled.

"I had a few friends over?" He said sheepishly.

"A few friends Jacob there's butter on the skylights." Sarah said looking at her son incredulously.

"I want this place cleaned up by tonight. I don't even have the energy to discipline you." Billy said rolling his eyes as he strolled in setting his brief case on the counter. He just looked at all of us and made a face of disgust as he went into his fridge to get a bottle of water.

"Done." Jacob said with a nod of his head. "Now back to my earlier question mom what are you doing here?" He asked. His mother got nervous again. Fidgeting.

"Well uhm." She said looking at everyone that was way too invested in the conversation to even pretend to look away. We were all staring. Billy looked at his stuttering ex wife and rolled his eyes.

"Your mother and I are getting remarried." Billy said with a shrug.

"What!?" Jacob and all the quilites said out loud. I mean the whole town knew of the divorce but it was even bigger news in La Push.

"Yes." Billy said in a no nonsense tone. "Next week Friday your mother and your sisters are moving back in." He said with a nod of his head. Sarah came over to Billy and he wrapped his arms around her.

"We want to be a family again Jake…the divorce was a mistake." She said softly. Jacob just squinted his eyes incredulously.

"All that teenage angst from your divorce… and you guys are just… fine? Just like that?" Jacob said a little angered.

"Jake-

"For two years you guys hauled us back from New York to La Push like some package!

"Son-

"You argued for years! Over money! And cars and properties and you dragged us in the middle of it!-

"Honey-

"And now you just wanna say oh well never mind! Are you in-

"I'll buy you a car." Billy said interrupting his sons rant. Jacob paused for a minute.

"What kind of car?"

"Anyone you want. No budget" He said in a no-nonsense tone.

"Mommy!" Jacob said anger forgotten as he opened his arms for his mother and engulfed her in a hug. She rolled her eyes but patted him on the back. All the girls laughed and the guys just went off at the mouth about what car he should get. Billy took that time to slip out with Sarah and all of us pretended not to notice as we continued on with our day. Billy and Sarah stayed tucked away in the room and didn't come out until later to ask if we wanted them to order us pizza and wings to which we obliged. When the place was sparkling clean and up to Billy's standards we ate the food and the guys played video games as the girls lounged around watching all the guys be immature. I saw Alice's eyes closed softly as her back was to Edward. He was lazily playing with her hair with one hand while the other went down his phone. Rosalie was beside Emmett who was going head to head with Quil. Mike and Jessica were wrapped in a blanket on the couch playing footsie or some shit. I had my back against the couch with Bella's head in my lap she was fast asleep. Bree was painting her nails beside Embry who was holding the bottle for her looking entranced as she did. Seth and Heather were playing cards and Leah and Jacob were tucked away in a comfortable corner under another blanket in deep conversation as his hands went through her hair.

"You kids alright in here?" Billy asked coming down again.

"Yeah, we're good dad. You can go to bed we'll be quiet." Jacob said.

"No need we can't hear anything from the third floor." Billy said nicely. "Jake can you make sure to set up the security system before you guys go down for the night. There's been some strange shit happening the past few days I don't want to take any chances." He said Jacob nodded lazily and then Billy bid us all goodnight before he left. I got up slowly as not to wake Bella before grabbing my pack of cigarettes before putting on my leather jacket to go out into the back for quick smoke. Ever since Bella and I went official we've both been trying to cut back but damn, it's been a long day. I could have one. Mike came out with me and I gave him one, the both of us just stood there smoking not saying anything.

"I think I'm going to ask Jess to marry me after grad." Mike said absentmindedly. I laughed.

"You are whipped my friend." I said clapping his back. He shook his head not even believing he said it out loud as he let out some smoke.

"I love her man… she like… I don't know. I don't want to let her go. You know when you just know something for real?" he asked me. I nodded softly.

"Yeah man... Bella's going to come to LA with me…" I said kind of awkward. Mike and I were never really close. I hated to admit it but… this was kind of cool. Having a brother… a real brother. Mike just nodded appreciatively.

"Who would've thought huh. We're bring chicks to college." He said rolling his eyes at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

"I know." I agreed. We were interrupted when we heard a shuffling in the bushes. The both of us turned our attention to it, when we heard it again I spoke.

"Whose there?" I asked throwing my cigarette in the direction of the noise. Mike just blew out more smoke looking worried.

"Maybe Billy was right about the weird shit happening. Let's go inside." Mike said pulling me back into the house making sure to lock the glass door behind him. When we went to the living room where everyone was we got lost into our friend group and our girlfriends, forgetting all about what could've been in the bushes and enjoying our night with our friends.

Hope you guys liked it! Review tell me what you think!
