(yeah, i like "light"-ish music when i write. hehe)
It didn't take long at all to get to the La Push boundary line; although today the ride seemed much longer. My mind was completely wrapped up in remaining calm. Edward was okay with this, or so he led me to believe. Jacob and I would have a worry-free night, enjoying each other's company and the company of the pack and its new member. I smiled at the idea of a new pack member. Edward looked at me and raised an eyebrow, but I just shook my head. He looked beyond annoyed. I stifled a laugh; Edward was always so put-out that he couldn't read my mind.
"Really, Bella, what are you thinking?" Edward asked, pulling my hand – which was intertwined with his – to his lips.
"I… I'm thinking…" I stammered, his cold breath stunning me. He chuckled and I broke out of my trance, "I'm thinking about what's going to happen. And about you, of course," I smiled. He looked at me and smiled back.
"As I, you," he breathed against my skin. Without warning, he set my hand down and used both of his to grip tightly to the wheel.
"W-what's wrong?" I stammered again.
"Jacob. It's nothing, just typical Jacob," he mumbled, seemingly more to himself.
"What is he thinking about?" I asked, hoping he would answer.
He surprised me, "You." I gulped and rested my head against the seat. Edward grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.
When we were a few yards away from the boundary line, Edward stopped the car and groaned. I hated leaving him, no matter for how short a time. I squinted my eyes in the darkness and searched for something familiar. I saw Jacob's Rabbit parked and him leaning up against it, with arms crossed and a familiar scowl on his face. I turned back to Edward who was watching me.
"He's being quite rude in his thoughts, let me warn you," he cautioned.
"Sorry, I guess I should be going. Thank you for th—" I began, but he held up a hand to stop me.
"Stop blaming yourself. And you're welcome, love. Have a fun time; I'll see you when you get back. Not too late, though," he chuckled at his tone; he sounded like Charlie. "I'm sorry; I'm being too much like a guardian. Remember the rules, though, please, for me; call me if you need me to pick you up. I love you, Bella," he murmured and leaned in to kiss me.
When I could breathe again, I said my goodbyes. "Goodbye, Edward. I love you more than you know. Please, don't worry about me. Go hunt," I said, stroking the purple under his eyes, "you look thirsty." I giggled, "Who sounds like a guardian now?" he laughed.
"Goodbye, Bella," he reached across me and opened the door. I kissed him swiftly on the cheek.
"I love you, Edward, never forget that," I reminded, hopping out of his car and shutting the door. I giggled and blew one last kiss and turned towards La Push.
I walked a little faster to reach the boundary. Being in between La Push and Forks had a weird energy to it. Like I was being pulled in a game of tug-of-war from both sides. I smiled at Jacob when I reached him. He quickly focused his gaze somewhere behind me. I looked over my shoulder just in time to see the shiny Volvo – carrying my life in it – drive away.
Jacob smiled widely and turned back to me. "Hi, Bells!" he cheered, grabbing me in a giant bear hug.
"Jake… I… can't…" I began. He chuckled and let me go. When I caught my breath, I spoke, "Hi Jake."
"Ready to go? The new guys dying to meet you for some reason," he rolled his eyes and walked over to the drivers side. As I slipped into the car a wave of panic hit me. Something felt… wrong.
When we arrived at the familiar small, red house, I felt like I was home. Although it was never really mine to begin with, I felt like I had history here. Jacob stopped the car, got out, and opened my door. I giggled as he waved me forward, mocking a perfect gentleman.
"The pack is meeting us on the beach," he informed me, walking away from his house.
The walk was short and we reached the beach in what felt like no time at all. I searched for the familiar group of teenage boys that, at one point, used to be my best group of friends. When I saw Quil, Embry, and Sam, I felt comforted. Not as much with Sam as with Quil and Embry. The whole pack was there and I searched until I found who I was looking for. The new pack member.
