Chapter 10

This time the dream wasn't pleasing like they had been before. I dreamt of Edward acting like a vampire, he was vicious. He was acting a lot like James, like he hunted humans and didn't care about them. I was in the forest when all of a sudden I saw Edward standing there. I walked over to him not hesitating for one second but when I got there Edward looked different he was immediately crouched and ready to attack me. I gasped in surprise not knowing why he was acting like this, I turned around to run, and get away from him even though I knew it was useless because he was too fast for me. I looked back when I couldn't hear his snarls anymore and I saw that he was no longer after me. Then out of nowhere I saw a wolf, knowing that it was Jake I started walking back. I saw as both Jake and Edward were getting ready to attack each other, both looking furious. But then I abruptly woke up, I was breathing hard by the intensity of the dream. It was still kind of dark outside so I checked the clock and it was only four in the morning. I relaxed, it was only a dream I kept telling myself. It was only a dream and nothing more. Soon I drifted back to sleep only to dream again. Except this time the dream seemed better it was light and sunny out and from the looks of it I was at the beach. I walked towards the sand until I heard someone call my name.

"Bella" the voice said

I turned around and I could see Jake. He was only wearing his shorts and his skin seemed to shine in the sun. I smiled. I walked back to where he was standing.

"Hey Jake" I said smiling

I was about to go and hug Jake but then I saw someone's arms wrap around him from behind. Jake turned around to see who it was and then smiled and hugged her. I still couldn't see who it was, who Jake was hugging so closely. I moved enough so that I could see who it was, and just as I did I saw Jake kiss Leah. Leah was the girl? I was so confused. Why was Jake kissing Leah

"Jake?" I said

But he wouldn't turn to me he kept kissing her.

"Jake?" I said again, this time a little louder

He still wouldn't turn to me. Instead I watched as the kiss between them become more passionate.

"Get off my boyfriend!" I yelled angry

They both stopped immediately and looked at me confusion written all over their faces.

"Bella why are you here?" Jake asked confused

"What do you mean why am I here?" I said

"You left remember?" Leah said

"Why would I leave" I said

"Bella did he hurt you?" Jake said as he turned to me

"Did who hurt me? What's going on" I asked

"You left with that stupid vampire a year ago; you said you would never come back here. You left Jake for Edward." Leah said with disgust

I moved back away from the in disbelief. I hadn't chosen Edward I had chosen Jake, why would I ever leave him? I knew that I wouldn't. And why were Leah and Jake together? This wasn't making any sense at all.

"Why are you guys together" I asked

"We imprinted on each other" they both said at the same time as they looked at each other smiling.

This couldn't be happening I had not gone with Edward, I wasn't even with him. I was with Jake, the funny, happy, amazing guy. I chose Jake. I chose Jake. I chose Jake. I chose Jake. I chose Jake. I chose Jake. I kept repeating to myself. I knew I had.

I awoke yelling "I chose Jake!" I was out of breath. I looked around my room, I was home, I was here. Things were fine. I was with Jake and everything was fine. I looked at my clock and it read ten in the morning. I got up and looked out my window, Charlie had left already his cruiser was gone. I tried calming myself telling myself that they were both only dreams and nothing more. They were just some really scary dreams. I did my best not to think about my dreams I didn't want to. Both dreams made me scared for so many reasons. I had never seen Edward so fierce, so scary before. Also I could never imagine Jake and Leah together. There was no way that they would be together. Just the thought of seeing Jake with someone else not only angered me but scared me at the same time. Evading thinking about my dreams became impossible I just couldn't do it. But if there was one thing I realized was that in both of my dreams Jacob was the better choice. In my first dream Edward was going to attack me and Jake was fighting for me, trying to keep me safe. In my other dream I had chosen Edward but I didn't feel happy and instead Jake and Leah had ended up together. I realized that in both of my dreams Edward had been the problem. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and when I came out I heard a knock downstairs and that's when I remembered that Jake said he would pick me up at ten. My heart instantly began beating fast at the thought of seeing Jake after not being able to see him since he was doing stuff with the pack. I ran downstairs to open the door for Jake and as soon as I did and saw him standing there I hugged him.

"Haha someone's excited" he said

"I missed you" I said

"I missed you too" he said

"So what are we doing?" I asked

"Going over to Emily and Sam's they said they had something to tell us" he said

"Awesome" I said smiling

"But you're not ready" he said

I looked at myself and realized that I was still in my pajamas.

"Sorry Jake I kind of just woke up" I said

"Haha its fine, you still look beautiful" he said

I blushed but wrapped my arms around him, keeping him close to me. He leaned forward and kissed me gently his warm lips on mine. He wrapped his hands around my waist, it felt so right. I kissed him eagerly not wanting the kiss to end. But he pulled back and smiled at me.

"Go get changed" he said

"Ok I'm going" I said

I went upstairs, took a really quick shower and got dressed. I walked downstairs and saw Jake sitting on the couch watching TV. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him from behind.

"Hey you" I whispered in his ear

"Hey" he said smiling

I walked over and sat next to him smiling, I felt happy. I would take reality over my dreadful dreams any day. Reality was better because here Jake and I were together and happy.

"Are you ready?" he asked

"Yes I'm ready" I said

"Good, let's go the packs waiting" he said

We got in his car and headed down la push. The whole time I couldn't help but smile, my reality was definitely much better than my dreams.

"You're happy" Jake said

"Of course" I said

"Why is that" he said out loud

"You" I said

"Me?" he said innocently

He was so cute when he did that I couldn't help but smile even more. He was mine, I had chosen him.

"Yes you. I haven't seen you since…" I trailed of trying to remember

"Since?" he said

"Since forever" I said

"I doubt it's been that long" he mumbled

"What was that? You won't see me for long" I said looking at him

"Huh? Me say something? Nope. Nothing." He said grinning

"Sure you didn't" I said

"I didn't" he said

"Hey Jake?" I said

"Yea Bella" he said

"What did you and the pack do that was so important I couldn't even see you" I said

"We went farther checking the land. Making sure everything was completely safe. We stayed in the woods the whole time, that's why I couldn't see you" he said

"Umm I guess that's a good enough excuse" I said

We soon got to Sam's; everyone was there already so we went in and sat down as Sam started talking.

"Ok guys you all know that you guys are my family so I thought you guys should know that Emily and I are getting married" he said as he smiled at Emily

Everyone looked excited and happy about this. Sam and Emily were perfect for each other, everyone knew that. I saw Leah from a far she didn't look as happy as the rest, of course we all knew why. There was food prepared for everyone so we all went to the backyard to eat. I decided to help Emily with the food inside and then I would go outside. Jake went with the rest of the pack, they all sat there talking and laughing.

"Hey Emily congratulations" I said

"Thanks Bella" she said

"Here let me help you" I said

"Thanks" she said

We walked outside and I made a plate for myself so I could eat. Then I noticed that Jake hadn't gotten food yet, he was sitting there talking to Leah. I couldn't stop myself from doing what I did next. I went over to Jake and sat in his lap and then I started feeding him. I guess Leah got the hint and she went to get some food and talk with the rest of the pack.

"What was that?" Jake asked when she left

"What was what?" I said

Jake looked at me waiting for an answer

"Sorry I couldn't help myself" I said blushing

I knew that I would keep my eye out for Leah now. At least now that I had that dream about Jake and her ending up together. He still kept looking at me which made me blush even more.

"Bella?" he said

"Yea Jake" I said smiling

"What happened to you?" he asked

"What?" I said

"Well I mean you're like super happy and don't seem to want me talking to Leah" he said

"oh." I said

I wasn't sure what to say really. I didn't want to tell him about my dreams because I was worried that he would think that Edward was still in my dreams and get mad and all.

"So?" he asked looking at me curiously

"I'm just really happy to see you and glad that we get to hang out with everyone" I said hoping he couldn't see through my lie

"Bells, you're a bad liar you know that? So now you got my wondering why you're lying to me" he said studying my face

"Well it's just that I had a bad dream, where I lost you, we weren't together anymore. I didn't like it. It scared me" I said

"Haha Bella I'm not going anywhere, let's face it you're stuck with me no matter what" he said

"I know it's just it was a bad dream" I said

"Don't worry Bella I promise to never leave you, ever do you hear me" he said

"Good, I'm glad, because I don't want you to leave, ever" I said and smiled

I spent the rest of the day in jakes arms, and that seemed like just the perfect place to be. The only place I ever wanted to be. The warmth of his body gave me a sense of security in my life, knowing he would always be here for me. Here in this moment as I am surrounded by the pack who I considered family and friends is where I first realized that I was in love with Jacob black.
