Enjoy and tell me what you all think; criticism is welcome.

I'm being bad here and uploading during school hours aka in a Media lesson, but oh well.

Enjoy. Big, no actually HUGE shout outs to: TVMonkeyz who reviewed Thicker Than Blood and imprintonyou who was the latest person to review this fic on the very first chapter. I thank you both for putting a smile on my face and keeping my spirits up during work.

Warning; Jacob and Bella's relationship takes a step in a closer direction.

The camaraderie between he Quileute's and the Makah's stuck; we would all hang out together, always having fun. I was at home with Charlie, busy on a usually dry day, washing the truck with Jacob when the mail arrived. An unmarked letter in a feminine script that I had seen many times before. In shock I dropped the bucket of water that I had in my hand, droplets flying everywhere, soaking me in the process, making Jacob nearly wet himself with laughter. Tearing the envelope open, slitting my finger in the process, taking out a weighted piece of paper. I smelled the paper; Alice. It actually smelled like her; my memory of her really didn't do justice. Jacob growled when he realised who it was from.

Giving up on the truck I sit on the ground against the tree in the yard reading it.

Bella,

I really shouldn't be writing to you, or have any communication with you. I am, however, thankful. I am thankful to those mutts who managed to destroy Victoria as well as keeping you safe.

As my brother said, your safety is everything; I will always be thankful that they managed to keep you safe and out of harm's way.

But Bella, we all miss you dearly. We never hear from Edward, I apologise on his behalf of how badly he hurt you. Rose would never admit this but she misses you too.

I miss not having you around, not seeing you blush when something makes you uncomfortable.

I miss being around you, hanging out like we used to, I miss having human friends. Ii miss our friendship. You mean so much to me Bella. I know you love Jacob with all of your beating heart, part of me hopes that there's still enough room in there for me.

Always your sister,

Alice xox

Alice missed me just as much as I missed her. If only there was some way of tracing it, I would write to her, keeping in touch. I missed my pixie. Yes, I loved Jacob with all my heart but there was places for them all too. Room for Renee, for Charlie, for the pack and for all of the Cullen's, even the one that had broke me.

'Behind every girl with a broken heart, there's a guy with a glue gun ready to fix it.' I read it in some silly tween magazine ages ago. Edward had left me broken, I thought only he would have the ability to heal me. I was wrong, Jacob became the one that bound me back together again; Jacob was the one that had fixed me. All I really needed was to feel loved again.

After putting her letter back into the envelope we finish washing the truck. I put Alice's letter into the shoebox along with all the other mementos of the Cullen's, Jacob took them out of the box, flicking through the photos, through the letters, through the memories of the people I loved. He finally accepted that I loved them too. I could never forget them. "They love you. You love them, and us." Jacob sighs, finally getting it.

"Life's never easy Jacob." I sit in his lap on the floor, my legs stretched out in front of me, his arms around my waist. "I love a lot of people; Charlie and Renee, the Cullen's, the packs, my friends here in Forks. But it's you, Jacob that I love the most. My Chief Jacob." With that last declaration a giant grin spreads across his face. I run my hands through his short hair, pulling him closer to me. His warm lips brushed mine softly, blurring the lines of our friendship; hovering between the second 'best friend' stage and the third 'intimate friends' stage of imprinting.

Jacob's tongue brushes my lower lip, wanting access to my mouth; I happily oblige, his grip on my waist becoming stronger as I tangle my fingers in his hair.

We're interrupted by a cough from a very red-faced Charlie standing in the doorway. He was refusing to look at us; his eyes were wandering around the room stopping out the window. We quickly disentangle ourselves from each other, Jacob still holding my hand as I turned just as red as Charlie was. "I, uh, ordered pizza, if you were, um, hungry…I'm going to be downstairs." Glancing a look at Jacob I then stand, pulling him downstairs to the awaiting pizza.

Charlie knew how much Jacob could east and so ordered four twelve inch pizzas; one three cheese for me, a Hawaiian for himself then two mega meats for Jacob who would eat what I didn't finish.

As they sat watching a game, the bond Jacob shared with Charlie became clear. Jacob would cheer and jump and cuss in time with the game; Charlie would join in with the cheering and jumping but stared in amazement at Jacobs cussing but getting over it in a short while later. Charlie loved Jacob like a son; both he and Billy had this planned out since we both were kids.

My heart swelled as I watched the two main men in my life bond.

My men.

Hope you all enjoyed this very short chapter with an extremely long authors note.

As always, Much Love,
