A/N: Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to update but I had a project due and my friend was being overly bossy and such. Plus I kinda wanted to see you guys agonize over Bella's answer for a little while! But I'm back now so no worries! Enjoy the chapter and give me even more of all the awesome feedback you've been sending me!
Disclaimer: I wouldn't be writing this if I owned the actual series.
BPOV: As soon as Paul finished the beautiful speech he had made, I knew I didn't need to think about the proposal. Right away my answer was joyful and teary as I cried out, "Yes, Paul! A thousand times yes!" Paul grinned at me then, and I saw that he, too had tears streaming down his face as he kissed my hand and placed the ring on my finger. Then he picked me up and spun me around and I screamed with joy, instantly knowing that my life would be amazing from today on because I had Paul.
I heard hooting and hollering from the pack and… strangely enough… from my brother too. And that wasn't even the strange part. No, the strange part was that he was cheering the loudest of them all. That was what scared me. But once again, that wasn't what scared me the most. What frightened me the most was… how was I going to tell the Cullens? Yikes!
PPOV: I was so happy! I was going to marry my Bella! I wanted to get married on Valentine's Day, but we'd have plenty of time to discuss wedding dates later. Now, we were being bombarded with congratulations by the entire pack. All I wanted to do was keep my arms around my beautiful fiancée (man, I loved saying that) as we sat on the picnic table to eat, but Emily had sat down next to her, claiming both her hands and was talking excitedly with her about the wedding.
I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder then. Expecting it to be her brother wanting to hug his sister, I turned around. But it was Jacob, not Cole.
Before I could even open my mouth to speak, he was saying, "Congrats, man. You've got one wonderful woman for the rest of your life. I'm happy for you guys." I was shocked to hear the last part but nodded my head in thanks all the same. "But," he continued. "You know I still love Bella more than my entire life and I am first and foremost her best friend. So… this is the last time I am ever going to tell you this, Paul Lahote… if you ever make a single tear slide down her gorgeous face I will not be responsible for your life… or lack of it when I'm through with you. And I'm sure her brother would agree with me as well. Even if you two are on better terms now than you were before."
I wanted to speak but all I could do was nod my head in agreement. Jake was right, as much as I hated to admit it. And I wasn't gonna lie and say that I wasn't scared to death of the dude. He could easily snap my neck if I ever did anything wrong with Bella. He had every right to, of course. He had as much of a right to protect her as I did. We both loved her the same amount… even if I did love her more than he did.
JPOV: I can't believe he asked Bella to marry him! The nerve of him! I wanted to murder the guy. All the imprinting between them has done is made Bella forget about all her dreams in life! Her career! All of it! She was throwing it all away just because she didn't want to leave Paul behind! Wait, that was just college wise. She was throwing away her life! All she ever told me was that she wanted to see what there was in the world before settling down! I didn't wanna watch the girl I loved lose her way because of him. But I had to. I had no choice. I was forever bound to watch as the imprint destroyed her life.
I didn't have any more time to think about this because I heard two frightened, unfamiliar howls rip through the air coming from the forest. That was when the entire pack took off running. We phased, to look into the frightened minds of…
A/N: Tee-hee! Sorry it's another cliffy the suspense of cliffys is kind of fun to watch. But don't worry, I'll update a lot sooner than last time. If you review of course!
