Title: "Don't Make Me Use My Puppy Dog Eyes"

Jake and I had been together since March. March 16th, 2006 was the day that we got together, also the marking point of the six months that Edward had been gone. School finally was out and I passed my junior year with amazing grades. Senior year would go by fast, I was sure. So far, Jake and I had spent everyday together. I was spending a lot of time with the pack on La Push. The pack and I had become good friends. Embry always teases me for bringing Jake out of his shell and into the light. Quill and I always joke and make bets when the other guys get in fights. Jared and Paul are nice to me and we always can laugh and get along. Sam was accepting of me after realizing Jake imprinted on me. Leah and I became good friends after a couple weeks. She's really nice once you break into her shell. Emily and I became the best of friends and we always hung out while the boys and Leah went on runs.

I felt myself being lifted off of Emily and Sam's couch. Jake threw me over his shoulder as he headed out the door with me kicking and squirming. "Where are you taking me?" I laughed, giving up the fight to get down.

"We, my dear, are going to Port Angeles to buy stuff." I laughed at the idea of Jake and I going shopping. He sat me down in the passenger seat of his Rabbit and he jumped over the car and got in the driver seat.

"What are we going to buy?" I asked, laying my head on his shoulder. Jake smiled at me.

"I don't know, whatever we want." He laughed. "I have about 100 bucks, and I want to get you something you want, and I'll buy myself something." I smiled at Jake softly.

"You don't have to get me anything, Jake." He put his finger on my lips, shushing me. I laughed softly, placing a kiss on the side of his finger. Jake smiled at me again, kissing my cheek.

We arrived at the mall in Port Angeles and Jake parked outside of a clothing store. I took his hand in mine as we walked throughout the store. I picked out a few things.

"Try them on." Jake suggested. I laughed, raising to my tiptoes.

"What for?" I asked playfully. Jake grinned and lifted me off my feet.

"Don't make me use my puppy dog eyes." He threatened, jokingly. I laughed as he put me down and headed off towards the changing room.

"You would do those too well!" I hollered at him from the changing room. I could hear his laughter as I changed into one of the outfits I had. It was a red baby doll and a pair of light washed blue jeans. I came back outside the changing room and Jake was sitting in one of the chairs waiting. Jake whistled at me, playfully as I modeled for him. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself modeling for Jacob Black, or just modeling clothing in a store, period. I guess being with Jake changed my confidence level and my personality became brighter. I modeled the other two outfits for him and he enjoyed the show. He paid for them and took my hand in his as we headed to a sports store.

"What are you going to buy here?" I asked him, looking at the weight lifting machines. I smirked, going and jumping on a stair climber. "Whew, this is a real workout." Jake laughed at me and shook his head before walking off towards the clothing section. I giggled to myself as I headed in the same direction he did. Jake picked out a couple pairs of basketball shorts and some t-shirts he wanted.

"I have a little over 30 dollars left. Is there anything else you want?" He asked, as we walked through the mall. I smiled brightly at him when I spotted the pet store. He groaned, wondering what I was up to.

"Can we buy a dog?" I asked him softly. Jake looked down at me with a smile. "Don't make me use my puppy dog eyes." I laughed, threatening him as he did me earlier. Jake laughed, grabbing my hand and heading in the store.

There was a little golden retriever for sale for 25$. It was hard to bargain with the sales associate, but since she was drooling over Jake and his muscles, we eventually got it down to 25. Jake bought him for me. I laughed holding the puppy in my arms. He was energetic, moving all over and licking my face. Jake smiled at me, lovingly.

"What are you going to name him, baby?" He asked as we got into the Rabbit. I put the puppy on my lap, looking down at him, then back over to Jake.

"Chase." I answered him, smiling. He looked at me questioningly. "That's his name because that's what you did. You chased me for a long time till it finally happened." Jake laughed, kissing me softly.

"What would I do without you, crazy lady." He smirked, driving back towards La Push.

"Throw a party of course." I giggled. Jake looked at me while feigning hurt. I giggled again, kissing his cheek. Chase barked softly, trying to laugh along with us. Life was really starting to become perfect for me.

Everyone in the pack loved Chase. He was an energetic little puppy. Quill taught him how to sit, shake, and roll over within a few hours.

"Must be a dog thing." I teased, laughing. Quill gave me the bird as he played with Chase on the floor of Sam and Emily's place. Everyone got a good laugh out of that joke.

"Are you excited for senior year Bella?" Seth asked me fondly. He was so young, but I felt like he knew so much about the wolves and the history involving them.

"I'm excited to get out of there," I laughed. "Can't get here soon enough." Jake smiled at me. He still had about a year and a half left, but with being a wolf, he got most of his work done between running patrols. The tribal school was very understanding.

As time passed on, everyone left Sam and Emily's house and retreated to their own. I had gotten sleepy, so Billy decided to call Charlie and let him know I'd be staying here for the night. Charlie seemed to take it well. His friendship with Billy is much deeper than anyone knows. Billy was there for him when he lost Renee. He helped hold him together, much like Jake has been holding me together these last few months.

Jake's bed wasn't very big, but we fit just perfectly with him holding me in his arms. It wasn't the same as when Edward held me. I mentally slapped myself for comparing Jake and Edward. I need to stop doing that, they aren't close to being the same even though they had similar qualities. Well, I guess I couldn't say that; Edward didn't love me; Jake does.

"What are you thinking about?" Jake whispered. His window was open and the air kept my flushed skin from breaking a sweat. It lit up his room and illuminated my pale skin. He was looking down at me, his eyes full of awe.

"Nothing in general." I mused sleepily. Jake hummed softly, stroking my hair with his free hand. I felt myself slowly start drifting off into a welcome slumber.

Author's Note:

I'm not going to include everyday of their summer leading up to school starting, or everyday of senior year. It will be bits and pieces, if there is something you'd like to see specifically, PM me about it.

July 2006

Title: Family Barbeques

You know how they say time flies when your having fun? Well, it's true. I felt like I had flew right past these few months. School would be starting in the next month, summer was almost over, and today was Fourth of July.

The Rez looked completely different from what it normally did. There were several long picnic tables set up with benches set up underneath them, red and blue banners hung from the trees, and Embry had set up a large table full of fireworks. There was country music playing from one of the tribe member's pick up truck. Men, women, and children were dancing and playing games that were set up. Sam went all out this year and even bought them a piñata. It's quite obvious that Emily and I were left to do the cooking. It wouldn't be fair to let any of the boys try and figure out how to make chicken parmesan.

Emily buzzed around her small kitchen in a frantic hurry to feed the hungry people. We had busted out all that we had since eleven in the morning. We made pasta salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, fish fry, t-bones, French fries, and of course; fried bread. We slaved ourselves in the kitchen to make sure the meals came out to be absolutely perfect. We also had to cook in great amounts for all the people and the packs giant appetites.

"I think it looks great." I said smiling at Emily. She grinned her up curved smile back at me as she finished getting the last of the fried bread out of the pan.

"Those boys will eat anything." She laughed, grabbing some of the food to take outside. I grabbed food and followed her suit. A group of hungry people engulfed us as we set the food down on the tables. I laughed, quickly moving out of the way. I scanned the crowd of people trying to find the face that I wanted to see. Jacob was teaching a small boy how to play catch. The sight warmed my heart as Jake tossed the small baseball back to the boy, who laughed and launched it back to him. He caught my eye and winked, causing my face to light on fire.

"Food is real good, Bells." Charlie said, taking another bite of his fish fry. I grinned. "You're a chip off the ole block." We both laughed at how true the statement was except when it came to cooking.

"Hard to believe the truth in what you said," I laughed, shaking my head. Charlie gave his normal gruff laugh.

"It's been real nice seein' you happy, Bells. I thought I lost you there for awhile." Charlie said, awkwardly looking off towards First Beach. He had never been good at expressing his emotions, but I had to give him credit for trying.

"I don't think the happiness is going anywhere anytime soon, Dad." I could see him smile out of the corner of my eye. That was the end of our conversation as Billy rolled up, kicking Charlie in the leg for taking so much fish fry. Seeing their friendship made me smile as the two older men rolled and messed with each other. The night progressed on with much more dancing, a few fireworks set off early from Seth's impatient self.

I felt the pair of strong, warm arms wrap around my waist. I smiled, leaning my head back onto Jake's strong chest. He rested his chin on my shoulder, kissing my collar bone softly.

"This feels so right, Bella. I'm so happy I finally imprinted on you and that we get to spend this life together. Everyday, I feel so incredibly lucky to have someone amazing like you." His soft words brought tears to my eyes as I turned to look up at him. His molten brown eyes were filled with the purest love that I've ever seen. He skimmed his thumb across my cheek, wiping some escaped tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset." He said, guilt written all over his face. Upset? How could someone be upset at those words? Silly Jacob, I sighed inwardly to myself. Quickly, my hands cupped each side of his face, making him look directly at me as he wound his arms around my waist again, holding me close.

"Don't ever think that when you say something so sweet that I'm crying because I'm upset. Jake, these are the first happy tears I've cried in the longest time. You make me so happy. I'm the true lucky one here." I whispered softly, laying my head on his chest. He kissed the top of my head and I could feel him smile. He pulled me back so he could look at me.

"Could I have this dance?" I hadn't noticed that a slower, more romantic song had started from the upbeat ones. I blushed furiously.

"You know I can't dance."

"Just trust me, please." His sweet smile was too hard to resist. Unwillingly, I let myself be pulled to where the others were dancing. The song had a slow soft melody with a nice beat in the background. "This is ours." Jake led me, spinning me once, before letting us sway with my head on his chest. I listened closely to the song.

You've been livin' way too long,
In broken-promise land.
Your dreams crushed an' scattered,
Like a million grains of sand.
I'd love to be your redemption,
But I am just a man,
I may never be a hero.
But I'am a rock you can lean on.

If I don't love you like you deserve;
If I don't stop every tear you're cryin';
If I don't make your life,
A Heaven on this earth,
I'll die tryin'.
I'll die tryin'.

I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes as my throat constricted. How did I get so lucky to have Jacob? I know that I'll never deserve him, but I'm too selfish to let him go. It's true, he is my rock. I don't know where I would be without him. My heart ached at the thought of losing him and I held on to him tighter. Jacob looked down at me and I met his gaze. It felt as if we were the only two people on the entire planet in that very moment. It didn't matter who was really there or not, all I saw was Jacob and I. He wiped the tears from eyes and bent to kiss me softly. The same shock of electricity ran through my body as we shared our passionate kiss. I was out of breath when I looked up. My cheeks flushed red to see that everyone was cheering and smiling at us. Jacob laughed and pulled me closer to him.

"I love you." He murmured into my hair. Embry and Quill started lighting off the fireworks, illuminating the sky, but still, my vision only saw Jake and I.

"I love you too."

I hoped you liked it! I personally like this chapter! I thought all the Jake and Bella fluff was cute! I searched and searched for a song that would fit them. The song is I'll Die Trying by Lonestar! It is a very pretty song and I would recommend listening to it while reading this. Please read and review!

I need at least 10-15 reviews before I update again! I gave you guys two chapters and a prologue, so tell me what you think!

Love,

GVE!
