Chapter 14
Decisions and Discussions
Jacob POV
"And you Jacob Black are sure that you want Sam Uley to be the full Alpha of this pack? Understanding that you can never claim it back?"
"I do."
And that was it. It was Sam who would be responsible for the pack.
"Sam you have spoken to Jacob and you have come to an agreement about personal circumstances?"
" Yes we have. Since he is involved with Alice Cullen, he may need to leave at a moments notice. Also he has decided to always be a wolf so that he may continue to stay his current age so that he can be with Alice. I have agreed that it would be best for the pack if we didn't hold him back."
The tribe ended the meeting. And I walked Billy home. Our relationship had changed a lot since I was not acting like a bratty teenager anymore.
"I'm proud that you could follow your heart Jake, you seem a lot happier since Alice is around. Like Bella when she started hanging around you. Will you be leaving this old man alone soon?"
"I don't know. If she leaves tomorrow I will leave with her. I will say good bye but I will leave. I love her."
He kept silent for a while. I walked himc the whole way home and watched the playoffs on the new wide screen Alice bought him. He liked Alice and even when he came into my room while we were making out he was cool about the whole thing. I spent the whole afternoon with him. We ordered a pizza and enjoy supper together. He was telling me about what I had been missing out on. Sue and Charlie had been spending quite abit of time together and they finally told everyone they were going to be together. Neither of them wanted to get married again but they wanted to be together. Sam and Emily were planning on getting married some time around next spring.
It was getting late and I knew I had to go on patrol with Seth and Embry. I left Billy infront of the tv. I went to my room got undressed and put on a pair of shorts. When I got outside I knew they'd be in the woods already. I walked to them. Shorts off and phased. We took off, I had been on patrol in 3 weeks. I had phased but not out of necessity. Seth was giving me an update on the pack nothing much had changed. Leah was still being Leah., but she had managed to stop phasing so that she could help Sue with thw move to Charlie. They were keeping the house because when Charlie retired the planned on moving back down. Seth was going to stay with Sam on the count that Charlie only had 1 spare room. I didn't think that was a good enough reason though, to make a choice between who gets a room.
"Also I imprinted."
I nearly ran into a tree.
"It was one of Emilys' cousins from the Makah reserve. Her name is Amanda. She is going to finish her schooling here so that were together. Awesome huh Jake?"
"Sure Sure Kid"
"How's things with Alice?"
I told them about our vacation with her family and about capture the flag. They were impressed with my mid air phasing and suggested I show Sam. It could be helpful in a fight. They were impressed with Edwards idea of signalling. It wouldn't help us much because we could always hear each other, but if we were fighting alongside them we could use it. I told them about the Cullens wanting to move and they wanted to know if I was staying. I showed the what I had told Billy and they both seemed to understand. We ran until dawn and then we each went home. I went straight to bed. No Alice today, she was going on a shopping trip with Esme and Rosalie.
Alice POV
It was our first shopping trip in a while, we even managed to get Bella to join us. We were going to Seattle and Port Angeles for quite abit of stuff. Emmett and Rosalie wanted to get married again so we were going to look for wedding dresses. Rose wanted a blue wedding this time so we were looking at the boutiques for material. Esme wanted to make the dress and I would design it. Bella was helping Rose look for her perfect blue. The owner of the shop was very helpful. She had found the blue Rose wanted with no problem. We decided to look for other material so that we could design and create our own dresses, I wandered down the isles on my own. The old lady found me there and decided to strike up a conversation
"So when is your wedding dear? You look unhappy to be here with your sisters. Trouble?"
"No not trouble, this just reminds me about a guy I once knew. I thought I'd forgotten all about him. But also my new guy is making a decision that benefits our relationship but he may regret it sometime."
She thought for a while and then gave me advice only someone who had lived a full mortal life.
"Well dear, he must really love you. If he choses you then you must show him that he made the right chose. As for lost love, well time heals all wounds. Don't hide the feelings though, talk to your new guy and tell him everything. He'll be there for you."
She gave me a hug and didn't even shiver. And I felt much better after that. We continued our hunt for stuff to buy. We didn't need anything, I bought 2 new pairs of boots and 2 new pairs of sneakers. Stylish but appriopriate. I bought a little black number and heels to match. Esme bought Carlisle a journal and a watch. Bella saw a locket that she had bought for herself and a new bracelet for Edward. Rose bought Emmett new jeans. They had recently bought a Dodge Charger and everyday Emmett would wear a new jeans and then ruin it. Esme even had to order a new washine machine as the old one was so filled with oil. We went food shopping for Jake. Rose bailed on that and waited for us.
We drove home in Esmes' new car, I like it, it was a Mercedes E500, it was appropriate for a doctors wife but also not too flashy. She got it in silver. It was a beauty. Esme was a true mother, she was just so caring and hospitable. She was talking about the move. It had to come soon though, people would be asking questions soon we were all finished with school now so everything was on a hold up because of me. I didn't want to take Jake away from here. We had this conversation on the Island one day. We were in the water and I decided to ask him
"Jake if we had to move, would you come with us?"
"I would follow you anywhere Alice. I love you. I have been thinking about the same thing all the time we have been here. If I had become Alpha I wouldn't be able to take vacations like this. I haven't spoken to Billy yet but I'm sure if he knew the reason why he would be happy. I even spoke to Edward and he says we could always come back one day. But that the longer you guys stayed the worse suspicions would get. So yes I would come with you"
It was all I needed to hear, Jake was adament that he didn't want to be Alpha now or ever. So it was decided, when I said the word we could leave.
We drove home and we only got there well after the sun had set. Jake probably slept the whole day and probably still was. I decided to go see him. When I got to his home Billy told me he went for a walk. I got outside and followed his trail. I found him on the beach just sitting there.
"Jacob." I sat down next to him and leaned into him.
"Hey."
"So why you sitting here, the sun has set already?"
"No reason. The place just felt too small. Alice I know you've been stalling the move for my sake, but I'm ready now. I gave the whole Alpha bit to Sam and I'm ready to spend forever with you ! I love you Alice Cullen!"
AN - hmmmm difficult decision for Jake hey. Anyway. Read and review. Crazeebeautiful hope you saw a little bit that was inspired by your comments
