Hey peps. I'm glad everyone seemed to like last chapter and we are so close to the 50th reviews mark and I have to say, for an author that hasn't had any other stories, and is barely on chapter eight, I think its going pretty well. Also I went back to re- read my story when it was already posted and the pages seemed to be in the middle. Personally I don't like it that way- and I totally didn't mean to make it that way, so I'm sorry bout that. Other than that I think the chapter was alright, only one person knew who was waiting for Bella, and that is………. PigeonBOB!
Note to HaPpY bUnNy Is NoT aN eMo, thank you for the very long review. I absolutely adore long reviews and thanks for suggestions- cuz there ALWAYS welcome. And I never ignore somebody's suggestion.
Sorry for the super long authors note.
"JAKE!!!" I screamed as I hurled myself at him. He stumbled back from the force and put his arms around my waist. He pulled me against him for a super long hug, which I didn't mind at all. I hadn't seen my best friend in a while and as sure as hell missed him. He kissed my hair, and gave me a little squish and pulled me away. He looked up and down at me, trying to see anything different in me.
"Well, Bells, I think aside from being all wet and in new clothes, you look the same." He smiled. "Good. Because, I missed my best friend."
I smiled at that. Until then I just realized that I was soaking wet, and I just hugged him; which meant he was wet now.
"Jake, I'm so sorry. I got you all wet!"
He laughed. "Bells, its ok don't worry bout it. I mean we lived in Forks, like a little wetness is a big deal."
I had to laugh at that. Then I heard the door open and wet shoes squeaking on the floor. I heard them step into the living room.
"Hey guys, "Jake said to them.
"Hey man." They said and continued there way upstairs. They were about half way up when it finally clicked in the Jacob was here. They looked at each other and then back down the stairs directly at him.
"Well it took you long enough!" I said in a duh- kind of tone.
They both came down stairs and greeted him with a "man hug". They both got along great with my BFF [Jacob hated when I called him that. Said something along the lines that it was too girly. But it was fun to tease him.] All three of them loved sports and yelling at the TV. A sight which I found absolutely pointless.
"So what you doing all the way over here in New York man?" Em said. "Not like were not surprised/ happy to see you, but … OH YOU KNOW WHAT I'm TRYING TO SAY!!"
"Wow Em. Frustrated much?" I said teasing him. And we all laughed.
"Yes Emmett I do know what you're trying to say. I'm here well, 'cause I missed my friends and Billy wanted to see Charlie- and NY" I rolled my eyes typical of them. I had totally forgotten that we were all still wet and just standing in the middle of my living room. Well I get distracted easily.
"Um guys? Has anyone else but me noticed that were still wet from the rain and just creating a big puddle that we'll have to clean up?"
They all looked down and at each other and started laughing. I shook my head.
"Jacob, why are you all wet?" Emmett asked. Was he serious? Jasper, Jacob and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. Jake was laughing so hard that he actually fell to the floor and was crying. Seeing him and Emmett's confused face made me and Jazz go down too. The sound must have made our parents wake up, because I heard them come down the stairs.
My dad was holding a baseball bat like he was about to hit who ever invaded the new Chief of Police home. That made even Emmett burst out laughing.
Finally after we all calmed down enough to stand up and listen, Charlie looked shocked to see Jacob here.
"Jake my boy, what are you doing here? And where's Billy?"
"Billy is in the car sleeping and we decided to come and visit you, since this is the only big break that were going to get for a while. I hope 4 days isn't a problem."
Charlie's eyes brightened at the sound that his best friend was here. "No, it's no problem at all. Stay as long as you can!" he put the bat down and ran outside. My mom on the other hand, yawned and walked back upstairs.
"Come on," I said as I turned to Jake, "let's get you somewhere to sleep and some warm clothes."

After everyone had taken a shower and sleeping arrangements had been made, Jake and I were sitting on my bed with cookies between us.
"So anything new in La Push or Forks?"
He rolled his eyes, "Bella, it's Forks; a new born bug could be big news! In La Push? Well, I got together with Leah, and-"
"YOU AND LEAH?!" At first Jacob and Leah despised each other. And I really don't blame her, she was dumped by a guy named Sam and the girl he ended up with was her cousin. Sadly Sam was a really great guy, which made it hard not to like him because of that.
"Yeah, I mean I really liked what you said, and of course I would be mad if that happened too, but you can really tell they like each other. But yeah I took her out to Port Angeles, and we really hit it off. I just asked her to be my girlfriend."
I hugged him as hard as I could. I knew that Leah was a really great girl, just a little pissed off when I met her. But I knew Jake was a great person to bring someone out of a crappy mood. And I also knew Jake wasn't the type of person to date just for the sake of dating.
"I don't know why you're so happy bout this. But I think Leah is definitely out of that weird haze she was in."
"That's why I'm hugging you. 'Cause you are the perfect person for her! And hell ya she needed to get out of that bad mood. "
"I missed you Bells. La Push and Forks is so boring without you. Still trying to figure out what to do when I get out of school, and trying to feel more a live. You really helped me with that. I mean, being with Leah helps, but I miss my best friend."
I looked at Jake, "Please I know you probably don't even remember I'm gone. But I missed you too; but we're not the kind of people not to mop around when we miss someone. And as for living, and the future- there's always cliff diving and Leah is sure to make your life exiting."
"Ok so, what have you been up to? Meet anybody?" Damn, he knows me. I decided to play dumb.
"Yes, I met Jasper's GF Alice. And she bought me a whole new wardrobe. I also met a pervert and a couple of other people."
"Really? No guys?" I didn't speak. "Well then, who gave you that locket? The pervert?"
I looked down at my absolutely amazing locket. I had forgotten bout that.
"No, my boyfriend gave it to me."
"Bella come on, I know a perver--, wait what?" he must of thought I had said the pervert. "You just moved here and you already have a boyfriend?" I nodded. "And not just any simple guy, a rich guy? Because by the looks of that thing, it looks pricy; unless he's a big momma's boy."
"No he's not a momma's boy and yes, he does seem rich. But you know I didn't hook up with him for his money."
"Yes, I know. Your not that kind of person," he yawned, "So is he nice?"
"yes, he is; but I think we can talk about this tomorrow since you look worn out. Alright?"
He nodded and gave me a brotherly hug and went to his bed on the floor. I snuggled into my bed and turned off the light.
"Goodnight Bells. It's good to know your fine in NY"
"Night Jake, glad to know your alive." He chuckled and turned over to sleep.
I feel asleep thinking how good it was to see my best friend, even for a little while.

There's a lot that I don't
know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
But I think I'm
letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me
down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me
up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast
And I'm
alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm
not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in
the dark as I search for the resolution
And the bars are
finally closed
So I try living in the moment
'Til the moment it
just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of
your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But
you'll find me anywhere I feel
That I'm alive
And I don't
need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for
forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I
search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for
the resolution
You hold me down
You hold me down
I'm
alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm
not looking for forgiveness
I'm alive
And I don't need a
witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for
forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I
search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for
the resolution
I need light, I need light
Alright people. Sorry I hadn't updated but schools been hectic and math is weird and hard. And it wasn't very long, but it was supposed to be that way. The song is the only one I found to fit this chapter, but its not the best one.
Ok so does anybody know any good Fan Fics? I really need inspiration- I love reading them but haven't found any real good ones. I really like All human and in the romance, and if any of my reviewers have a story, I'll be more than happy to read and review on them. If you want me to anyway.
OH!!! So, my language arts honors class is starting a writer's workshop and I learned a better way to write chapters, so I think there going to be sooo much better! And time to time I'll give some sneaky peeks at some future chapters, when I might not update for a while.
But ok super long authors note, and I'm sure they wont ever be this long again.
REVIEW!
Love,
Forever&Always
