CHAPTER EIGHT
GRADUATION DAY
The next morning I awoke and fixed breakfast for Billy and retreated to the television to watch the news as Jake gave me a sweet kiss and left for work. After cleaning the kitchen, I grabbed my laptop and went into the bedroom and closed the door, I sat on the bed and finished up my classes and did my assignments and decided to look for any clues that would cause my resent predicament.
I searched on every site I could find, and found nothing; the only thing that even came close was one involving what they called an Ancients. A mystical creature that was of only women and there were very few, she had powers that out weighed any creature in existences, there were no creature as power as she was, but by this, she could crush worlds with one fist of a hand. Well that left me out, not only are my powers weaker than theirs, I stumbled over air, there was no way the powers that be or the great spirit would ever entrust me with such power, with my clumsiness I would trip and accidently send our world spinning off into oblivion.
But then there was a mention of witches, but I put that out of mind as they worked with spells, and I have never spun a spell in my life. To my surprise there were many mythical creatures out there, from Demi God, who were created by the Gods of Olympus to imps who lived in trees and everything in-between. I was amazed just how many there were, and in fact were they real or not, I knew Vampire's and Werewolves existed but just how many others there were out there was beyond me.
After four hours of searching, I gave up, I couldn't find anything that would explain what was happening to me, maybe I was just losing my mind or someone was playing a sick joke on me. Vampires were always after me, that was a given. Edward had told me time and time again that my blood was different and that it drew attention to the most deadliest of them all and that was one of the reasons he was so overly protective of me. That still didn't explain the changing of my body, and some of the things I was able to do. I was sure that sooner or later it would make itself known, and what was expected of me, so for now I would leave it alone and hope for the best.
It was a week before the wedding, everything was planned. Emily had taken complete control over the wedding, the more I complained the more she insisted, she told me that I had to much on my plate right now and she wanted to do it, she was excited about doing it, and to my surprise Leah wanted to help her. I was so excited that the two were getting along so well, I had to let them do it, not for my sake, but for the simple fact that they were doing it together, and that made me more happier than getting married myself.
I was also waiting for a letter to come in the mail, I had finished my finals and was waiting for my grades, and that made me nervous. I knew that the test seemed to be easy, but that didn't mean I would pass all my classes.
Angela and I had picked up our cap and gowns last week and graduation was tomorrow. Angela would be graduating with me, although she went to her classes and I did my classes at home, we still would be together and it helped knowing that she would be with me, but I was still nervous. Jake had taken off work tomorrow as well as the whole pack and their imprints, they were all coming to watch us graduate, I hated being center of attention and knew I had to walk across that stage after receiving my diploma and I just knew I would trip and embarrass myself in front of not only the pack and their imprints, which I knew would laugh loudly, but the entire auditorium of people that would be attending.
That evening Jake walked into the house, he was smiling ear to ear.
"What?" I asked knowing there was something up. He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me softly, when pulling away, he looked into my eyes."That was for good luck," he said, still grinning. He pulled one arm from around me and waved an envelope in front of my face. I sighed knowing what it was and my heart began to beat rapidly.
Jake hearing my heart beat accelerate with his supernatural hearing, told me to calm down.
"You want to open it or shall I?" he asked, still waving it in my face. I took a deep breath and contemplated whether I should let him open it or do it myself, after thinking a few more minutes, I decided I was a coward and too nervous to open it myself and shook my head in defeat.
"You do it Jake, I too nervous," I told him. He smiled like he had just received the best gift he had ever got and ripped the envelope at the end and slid the letter out of its sleeve.
He read its content and his smile slowly diminished from his face and turned into a frown, he looked down at me and stared at me and said nothing.I could feel the tears welling in the corner of my eyes, and with the look on Jake's face, I knew something was wrong as a thousand thing went through my mind, one of which was that I had told Jacob that I wouldn't marry him until I graduated, and if I flunked out of even one of my classes I wouldn't be able to graduate till January, and with the look on Jacob's face I was afraid that's exactly what had happened. I sighed and lowered my head, how could this had happened? I studied so hard, I didn't understand, this had never happened to me before, I thought to myself. I was so disappointed in my self and when I felt Jake pick me up and swung me around laughing his ass off I could have killed him.
"Jacob Ephraim Black, how could you do that to me," I screamed at him, making him put me down and walking away, I stood by the kitchen table and folded my arms around my chest and glared at him.
"I'm sorry honey, I couldn't resist, I was just messing with you, don't be mad," he said, walking up to me and pulled me to close to him. He looked at me with those beautiful puppy dog eyes and pouted.
"You aced all your classes," he said, I let out the breath that I had no idea I was even holding and proceeded to smack Jake a number of times on his shoulders.
"Ow"… he said, still laughing, "I said I was sorry," he continued, still laughing, he grabbed my hand and started kissing my fingers as they throbbed from hitting him, you would think I would remember that I couldn't hurt him and would only proceed in harming myself.
"Damn it Jake, that's not funny, you scared the life out of me," I told him, jerking my hand away from him and nursing my own hand. He grabbed my hand back.
"Let me see it," he said messaging my hand after making sure none of the bones were broke. He pulled me close and kissed me softly.
"I am sorry honey, I knew how worried you were about your grades, I shouldn't have done that too you, am I forgiven?" he asked kissing the end of my nose.
"No," I said childish, staring down at his chest, then bringing my eyes up to meet his, seeing that he was pouting and looking at me with his brown sexy puppy dog eyes once again, I smiled at him.
"Yes," I said, grinning from ear to ear. Jake laughed and pulled me into one of his bear hugs.
"Can't breathe Jake," I told him, as he let go of me and handed me my letter so I could check it out. I looked at Jake and took in another deep breath and let it out."I can't believe I'm finally through with school," I told him. He smiled.
"I'm so proud of you honey," he said smiling again. "When are you to start teaching?" he asked.
"Not until school starts up again," I told him. I had put in a request to start teaching at the LaPush high school, my guidance councilor told me she was sure I would get the job, not to worry, that the school was in dire need of teachers. She had called me last week and told me that I had gotten the job, and if my grades were good, which she knew they would be, that I could start in the fall. I was ecstatic. I would be able to do what I had always dreamed of doing, and that was teaching children English and literature.
I had only two things to worry about now…first, I still didn't know what was going on with me, and second was there still someone out there waiting to grab me the minute I was alone. Although Sam said that he had thought whoever it was had moved on…I wasn't so sure.
I wasn't worried about the wedding that much, I knew Emily and Leah had all that in hand, so I tried not to worry about that aspect of my life, I wasn't to big on big wedding's and I had told them both to make sure they kept it simple. They agreed so I let them take off with it.
Sam had been training Jacob to take over as Alpha, Jake didn't want the job and voiced his opinion a numerous times, but Sam told him it was his birth right and he had to stand up to the job. Although he hated the idea he agreed. Jake was to take over after our wedding.
Not only that but his dad also told him he was stepping down as Chief and that Jake had to take his place as the new Chief. He didn't know what to do, not only was he marring me taking on the responsibilities of a husband, but he would also be responsible for the pack, and for the whole tribe, and that scared Jake. Billy tried to tell him that he wouldn't have given him all those responsibilities, if he didn't think he was ready for that position. Billy knew Jake better than Jake knew himself, he was proud of his son and knew he could do it, we all did, Jacob was the one that wasn't sure.
One night after a few hours of amazing love making, Jake held me in his arms, and started asking me what I thought about him taking on so many responsibilities, and if I thought he was up to the task.
I looked up at him; I could tell that it had been bothering him, so I told him what I thought."Jake, I've seen you've been thinking a lot about all of this, but baby, I know you can do it, you are a remarkable man. The only reason you don't want to take all this on, is because your afraid of letting someone down, and baby, no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, you wouldn't be human if you didn't. You'll make mistakes and you'll learn from them. I know you can do this, its in your nature, you were born for this and I also know that you will be the best Alpha and Chief this tribe as ever known," I told him.
He pulled me closer and kissed me on top of my head. I heard him sigh and laid his cheek on top of my head.
"You got one thing right," he said with a chuckle.
"What?" I asked."I'll make mistakes, a lot of them," he said with another chuckle.
"I wish you could see yourself the way I see you, or the way the pack sees you, don't they always come to you when they need advice, or help with something that is important to them?" I asked him.
"Well… yeah," he said."You always help them without even thinking about it don't you?" I asked.
"Yeah,… your right, I guess it won't be so bad, I guess I do pretty much the same things now that I will be doing as Alpha and the pack always helps out the community, so that's pretty much what I'll be doing as Chief, I'll have meeting with the elders a lot, but I meet with them once a week the way it is, so your right, thanks honey," he said as we settled down and drifted off to sleep.
The next day was hectic, the graduation was set to start at ten in the morning, and I had to be there at nine. We woke up early and I fixed us all breakfast and grabbed my cap and gown. Billy, Jake and I jumped into his truck and headed to the school. Jake wasn't going to let me go by myself, even though the threat was gone, he wasn't about to take any chances and he wouldn't leave me to go back and pick up Billy so we all left together, Charlie left early as well so Billy wouldn't be sitting in the auditorium alone, while Jake stayed with me.
No one said anything to him; I think the size of him scared pretty much the whole graduation class as well as a few of the professors. When it was time to take our seats in the auditorium, Jacob went to join the pack, Billy and Dad. The whole graduation went off without a hitch, I walked across the stage received my diploma, and of course the gang cheered very loudly. I didn't trip…thank god.
As Jake drove us back I noticed we weren't going towards home.
"Where are you going Jake?" I asked.
"You'll see," he said. "It's a surprise," he continued.
"Jake, you know I hate surprises," I told him.
"I know, but this is your graduation present from the elders, you don't want to tell them you refuse their gift do you?" he asked, looking at me with a smirk.
I sighed and only shook my head.
We arrived at the beach and Jake ran around and got Billy's chair out of the back of the truck and helped him out, then helped me out.
"Come on baby," he said laughing after seeing the face I was making not wanting to be surprised. He grabbed my hand and led the way. As we approached the beach I noticed all the elders sitting around the bonfire, there was a table set up with food completely covering it, the pack gathered around the fire with there imprints. They watched as I approached and they were grinning from ear to ear. When I stepped on the sand everyone there began to clap. I felt like digging a hole and climbing into it, and once again I was center of attention, that I hated. I buried my face into Jakes chest as he chuckled and led me to a chair that was set up just for me. Jake sat me down in it and stood behind me. I looked across where the entire elders sat, I seen Charlie sitting next to Billy and sported the same grin that the pack had. Jake patted me on the shoulder to let me know he was there for me. Then Quil senior stood up and the entire crowd became quiet.
He looked over at me and began to speak."Bella, we honor you today. You graduated today and as of this day you have became a teacher, not just any teacher but a teacher at LaPush high school, your knowledge will rain down on the heads of every student that passes through that school, and for that we are very thankful and proud of you. But this is not the only reason we have gathered here. Your father Charlie has brought you here since you were a child, he has been a part of this tribe and has help us through many thing through out the years, you both know our laws as well as our history, and have kept our secrets, to us you are a part of this tribe. Within a few weeks you will marry Jacob and become his wife, but not only will you become his wife but you will become the Alpha female, as well as the Chief's wife, you will take on many rolls and have many responsibilities, one in being to stand next to your husband and be supportive of all his decisions, and I know you will be up to that task.
But you will also make history, you take a place in our history, as the only paleface to marry and be at the side of the Chief and Alpha of our tribe, it is an honor we don't take lightly, and I know you will stand tall and shine through any trials. Bella, it is my honor to present to you this plaque, welcoming you into our tribe, and for you to take your rightful place in our history as the first paleface to be inducted into our tribe. Jacob will you come and present your mate with this plaque?" he asked.
Jake walked over to him and took the plaque from him and walked back to me and bent down in front of me and handed me the plaque, I stared at it as tears ran down my face, I had never felt more wanted in my life, for the elders to welcome me in such a way, was so heart warming, I had always loved these people and thought of them as family, but at that moment I haven't loved anyone except Jacob more than I do right now. The crowd clapped and yelled and I think I heard a few whistles. I looked at Jake as he wiped my tears from my cheeks as he smiled at me proudly.
"I love you baby," he whispered as he kissed my lips softly.
"I love you too, Jacob," I told him as my voice cracked.
I heard Quil finish up as I stared into Jacob's eyes."There is food on the table, enjoy yourselves," he said as he sat back down. Jacob stood up and pulled me to my feet and hugged me tight, as he chuckled, everyone came up to me and congratulated me. I felt like a queen that day and I couldn't feel more apart of their lives as I did that day.
