BPOV

"Bella!" a voice called from far away. I recognized it as Jake's voice.

My eyes flew open as I took in my surroundings. I was sprawled on the shore of the beach soaking wet. It was raining buckets. I blinked water droplets out of my eyes confused and dazed and trying to recall what had just taken place. My throat felt like someone had thrown salt down it.

Then an image of a beautiful green eyed boy popped into my head and I remembered everything.

The cliff. The jump. The current. And most of all the green eyed boy. They all came back to my mind in instant.

I instantly scanned my surrounding for the man or boy or whatever. His face had shown manliness yet it was obvious he was young. Must have been in his late teens.

Then suddenly I saw something in the water. It was him!

All I could see was from his face up because he was so deep into the ocean. I couldn't make out the color of his hair because it was wet and dark from the water. He was staring at me with those deep sea green eyes unblinkingly. The waves smashed against him but he remained unmoving.

My eyes widened in wonder. What was this beautiful boy doing in the middle of the ocean? " Thank you" I said. I meant for it to come out as a yell but it ended as a whisper as I watched his eyes slip from my face to behind me. His expression darkened at once.

" Bella!" Jake's voice called again closer this time. I turned around to see him jogging my way in a soaked pair of pants and a black shirt. As he approached I noticed he had the strangest of expressions on his face. He looked angry.

" What the hell happened to you!?" he bellowed. I swiveled around to look for the beautiful green eyed boy.

I gasped. He was gone! Well where the hell could he have gone. Underwater? That was unlikely because if he had he'd have to be resurfacing soon for air.

" Bella!" Jacob said grabbing my hand and facing me towards him. " What happened?" His eyes slid from my face and he scanned the ocean. A shadow grew over his eyes in a weird way making him look even angrier as his eyes locked onto something behind me. I instantly had a strange gut feeling not to mention the boy. I had no clue why.

" Nothing happened." I lied with wide eyes.

" Why are you all wet?" he asked looking down at me while I blushed and fidgeted with my swimsuit.

" Because.." I was a terrible liar. " Because it's raining" I finished smartly.

" You jumped off that cliff! Do you know how dangerous that is with these current! You should have waited for us! You could have died if you hadn't.." his voice trailed off as he stared at me.

" How did you get out of the water?"his eyes lifted from my face and scanned the water again deep in thought. The question seemed as if he were talking to himself not me.

I answered anyways. " I'm a good swimmer!" I slipped out of his grasp to go fetch my back pack. When I returned Jake was still standing in the same spot with tight eyes.

" SO.." I said nudging him," what do want do now since the weather's bad?"

" We can go hang out at my place if you want.." he said distantly as he continued to stare out into the water. He looked like he was concentrating on something. His expression cleared and he broke his gaze from the water and looked down at me. " That sound good?"

" Yup" I smiled.

We found his car and drove off to his place. La Push was different from Forks. Of course the weather was the same but down here was a whole different place. The houses were built in an indian style. Everything here seemed so cultural. I glanced at Jacob while in the car. I'd never noticed before but aside his good lucks he had somewhat Native American features. That explained the russet skin color. My eyes trailed down his body. He had perfect form and it looked like he worked out. I'm sure the girls at school were all over him.

" Getting a good luck?" He smirked. I rolled my eyes. Suddnley I remembered he was supposed to bring some friends.

" Where are your friends?"

" Embry and Quill bailed out once the weather started getting bad. I tried to call you." he said apologetically.

AT that moment we pulled in front of Jacob' house. It was similar to all the other houses in La push. Small in size with an Indian style to it.

" Is your dad home?" I asked as I climbed out of the car recalling Billy Black, Jacob's father.

" No he went fishing with Hairy Clearwater" he said over his shoulder as he walked into the house. I paused at the doorway noticing as small ornament hanging by the door. It was an elaborate and yarn spun with small trinkets and feathers hanging from it. Jacob noticed what is was looking at and explained.

" It's a dream catcher. Just about every house in La Push has one." Jacob said.

" Does it catch dreams" I said with a grin.

" Only the bad ones." Jake said with an answering smile. He led me into the small house. I noticed he had to duck under an archway. Jeez he was tall.

" So are you hungry or anything?" as he clicked on the TV in the living room. My stomach answered with a grumble. I blushed.

" I'll take that as a yes. If you wanna go change the bathroom is down that hallway. I nodded, grabbed my bag and headed to go change.

The bathroom was small like the rest of the house. It was distinctly a all-male bathroom. I wondered whatever happened to Jake's mom as I slipped out of my clammy wet swimsuit and dried off with my towel. After pulling on my dry clothes I went out to the kitchen.

Jacob was plopped at the table devouring a huge sandwich. I couldnt help but giggle at the sight as I joined him

After Jake had finished off his eighth sandwich and second family size bag of chips( That boy could eat!) and me my second sandwich, we settled down for watching TV. Nothing was really on so we stayed on Disney Channel. Since Phineas and Pherb wasn't exactly my favorite show I eventually fell asleep on Jacob's shoulder. I supposed I was pretty tired after the drowning incident.

When I woke up I was at home and in my bed. What the hell? People really need start waking me up before the decide to pick me up and carry me wherever. I glanced at the clock. 2: 13 in the morning. Great. Now I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. I could still taste a faint mixture of salt and sand in the back of my throat. I decided I seriously needed a shower.

As I washed the sandy grime off of my body and hair I began to think about the green eyed boy again. Was he still out there? Well of course he wasn't! He was probably at home and asleep right now. But then as I recalled some details about about him I started to reconsider. He didn't seem like a normal person that's for sure. I mean what kind of normal person rescues a damsel in distress and doesn't wait around for her gratitude. And there was the heat. The inhuman heat. I thought maybe he had taken a piss in the water, but that thought made me giggle because it was so thing was for sure. He was a great swimmer. I myself wasn't a bad swimmer. I may even be considered a good one. But for him to be able to torpedo out of the currents like that. Well hell. It was unbelievable!

When the hot water ran out I slipped out of the shower and into some sweats and a tank top and headed back into the room. I crossed the floor over to the window. Once again sheets of rain were bombarding the window pain.

Raining.

Always.

I thought it ironic that only a few nights ago I was in this exact spot yet my mind was on something completely different.

I wanted to learn more about this green eyed boy. I wanted to meet him. I wanted to show him my extreme gratitude. But where could I start? I suppose I could ask Jacob if he knew of any green eyed boy that hung out around the beach often. But that warning gut feeling came again, telling me it would be better if I never mentioned him to Jacob.

The boy didn't look like a local from La Push. He didn't have in Native American features the way Jake did.

So. Where did this leave me.

I could either forget that the drowning incident ever happened the way an sane person would or I could continue to find this beautiful boy to show him my eternal gratitude. I like the second choice better. So I decided I'd look for this mystery boy no matter how long it took.

And with that decision made I climbed back into bed hoping for a bit more sleep. Nestled into the covers, I wondered just how long it would take to find him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been three months months since I'd first came Forks. The date was April 16 and I still hadn't seen my swimmer.

That's what I'd began to call him. My swimmer. I know it's strange to become so obsessed over someone you don't even know but I truthfully didn't care. I'd spend ours in La Push with Jake almost everyday. While enjoying Jacob's presence I'd also be continually glancing around for any sight of him.

And I never found him. And believe me, I'd looked. Not only would I scan the Beach but I'd also look for him around the La Push neighbor hood. Again no sign of him.

After about the second month of looking for him I wondered if I'd just imagined him. That was the more logical thing. But I was stubborn and refused to believe that. He was real and I would find him.

Jake never suspected a thing. At least I don't think he did. Jacob was still fun to be around and over the months our friendship grew. Although Charlie suspected it was more than friendship I knew that it was nothing more. Well it was nothing more for me at least but I was never sure what exactly Jacob was thinking.

Alice and Rosalie became my two best girlfriends. We hung out a lot. Not as much as I did with Jake but we still spent lots of time together. We would have sleep overs, shopping sprees and of that other girly stuff. Just as Jessica had predicted Alice offered me a spot on the cheerleading squad. I of course declined but I stopped eating lunch with Jess and her friends and traded to eat lunch with the squad. They were all superficial just like the cheerleaders back in Phoenex. The only reason I sat with them was because of Alice and Rosalie. Jacob wasn't so happy with me hanging out with Alice and Rose but I promptly told him to butt out. After all Alice and Rosalie had the same feelings towards Jake.

The date was April 16 and I still hadn't seen my swimmer. I sat on the shore of La Push beach watching Jake and Quill have rock throwing contest. My mouth was hanging open as I watched how far Quill threw his rock. It went so far that it disappeared in the distance. One thing I'd noticed since I'd started spending time with Jake and his friends were there size and strength. Each one of them were extremely tall and well built. Sometimes I wondered idly if they were on steroids.

" Holy Crap Quill" I muttered.

" You think that's far Bells?" Jake said as he searched the ground for " the perfect rock". He carefully chose a sleek black one. After giving me a quick wink he winded his arm back and then flung the small stone. My eyes widened as the rock pierced the air, and just like Quill's, it dispeared in the distance.

I quickly cleared my face of any shock as Jake turned towards me. I pursed my lips as I scooped up a rock from the beach.

" Not bad you two but I could do much better." and with that I threw the rock as far as I could. Not two seconds later there was a pathetic plop not to far away. I smiled proudly. " And that's how it's done"

Quill snickered and Jake rolled his eyes at my little performance. " Come on let's go inside it looks like it's about to rain" Jake said looking at the clouded skies.

" Actually I've got to get to work pretty soon." I noted glancing at my watch. I'd recentley aquired a job at the Newtons Sporting Goods store on Saturdays and Sundays and today was a Saturday. I gave own last glance in vain around the beach. No sign.

After saying goodbye to Quill Jake walked me to my truck. " See you Monday Bells." I waved goodbye as I drove off to to work.

I pulled in front of the store and headed in. After greeting Mike ( The reason that I had this job) and putting on my apron I began to organize the shelves in the front of the store.

" Bella would you mind putting up these new brochures once your done with that?" Mrs. Newton asked as she set a new shipment of brochures by my feet.

" Sure, no problem" I answered.

She thanked me and went back to doing her business. After organizing the shelf neatly I picked up the box and went to the brochure stand. I set the box on the counter and went to work setting the brochures in the appropriate slots. This was a more challenging then organizing shelves or stacking boxes. Not because of manual labor or anything but because all the brochures were so interesting. Some advertised beautiful hiking trails and others luxurious waterfalls. My hand always itched to open them but I resisted.

Then I stopped on one brochure particularly.

It was of a beach and it was beautiful.

It resembled the La Push beach but was obviously a different beach entirely. Cullenial was what is was called. (Note: Do yall notice the root word of Cullenial?)My fingers started getting that itchy feeling again. I glanced around for Mrs. Newton. She was busy talking to a costumer about how wonderful our hiking boots were. I figured she wouldn't take notice of me.

I flipped open the brochure my eyes scanning the page. It wasn't to far from La Push beach. After reading more into it I had the urge to see this beautiful beach in person. Maybe I could go with Alice and Rosalie.

" Bella would you mind giving this gentleman a brochure of the Onawaka Lake," Mrs. Newton called.

" Sure thing," I said as I stuffed the Cullenial Beach brochure into a slot and pulled out the brochure for the man.

The man was scruffy looking with a red santa clause beard. He looked kind of like a lumber jack" Thankyou" He said in gruffy voice that matched his apperance. AS he took the brochure he looked at the the other brochures on the stand. His eyes stopped on one brochure. " Can I see that Cullenial Beach one" He asked.

I picked it off the stand and handed it to him.

His eyes scanned over the brochure. " You know, there is a legend that mermaids once lived on this beach." he murmured while studying the brochure. I swallowed a small giggle. It wouldn't have been very professional to laugh at a costumer. I was used to this. Superstitious people came into this shop all of the time. Once I'd even heard of there being " werewolve sitings". Yeah, and vampires exist too...right. ( Note: Sorry no vamps in this story but as for werwolves and mermaids...)

" The brochures are free sir" I said pretending that I hadn't heard his little comment on mermaids. He grumbled a thankyou and went on his way.

I went back to work stacking the brochures in their slots. Once that was finished I went to the back to take an inventory on our supplies. By time I was finished it was dark and my shift was over. I put my apron away and say goodbye to Mrs. Newton and Mike. Mrs. Newton informed that I could have the day off tomorrow because they weren't expecting many costumers. Before heading out of the door I paused by the Brochure stand. Well hell, they were free I thought as I snatched the Cullenial Beach brochure off the stand and headed home.

When I pulled into the drive way of my house I noticed Rose's red Convertible in the drive way. This was normal since Saturdays was our Sleep Over Night. SOV as we called it. I parked my car and headed in with the brochure in hand.

Rose and Alice were lounging on the couch watching The Little Mermaid when I went into the living room. Ironic. Alice leaped over the couch and gave me a jubilant hug the way she always did and Rosalie called a greeting from the couch. I set my bag on the floor of the hall placing the brochure on top.

" Do you guys want some popcorn?" I offered.

" Just one second, this is my favorite part! Watch it with us!" I rolled my eyes and settled on the couch with Rose and Alice on either side of me. It was the part when Ariel first sees her lover boy. I glanced at Alice and Rose. They were deep into the movie. I rolled my eyes and hopped off the couch to go make the popcorn.

"I'll be right back." I giggled at the mushy girls. Why couldnt we just watch Juno or something!

When I came back the girls barely glanced at me as they snatched a handful of popcorn with their eyes glued to the screen. I again settled between the two ready for a long night of The Little Mermaid.

Then I remembered the brochure sitting ontop of my bag.

I hopped off the couch again to retrieve the brochure. " Bella can you sit still for two seconds." Rose complained.

I ignored that comment as I came back with the brochure. " Do you guys have plans for tomorrow?" I asked hopefully.

" Not me" Alice said.

" Me either, why?" Rose asked.

I held up the brochure to their faces. " I was thinking we could go to the Cullenial Beach!" Their eyes widened. " Isn't it beautiful!" I gushed.

Alice and Rose exchanged a secretive glance as if they were silently communicating with each other.

" Bella umm-" Rose started in a rush.

" Sure! Sounds good!" Alice exclaimed with a clap. I heard a small gasp come from Rosalie. Rose was glaring at Alice, while Alice avoided Roses gaze. Was I missing something?

" Now lets watch the movie!" Alice said turning her attention to the screen. Rose did the same but she didn't seem to be really paying any attention to it. Every now and then Rosalie would glance at Alice. But Alice's eyes remained glued to the screen.

I sighed. I always felt as if they were keeping something from me. Why did they hate Jake? Another thing I noticed was that Rose and Alice never talked about their boy friends. I knew they had boyfriends but they always avoided to subject for some reason. And then now again they were acting strange. I pretended no to notice these things. They probably thought they were fooling me. They weren't. As we sat and watched the movie I couldn't help but feel left out of some strange secret. I mean I'd been friends with them for a while and I figured they wouldn't keep things from me. I never kept things from them.

I began to drift off to sleep listneing to Ariel sing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I awoke by the smell of Bacon. And eggs. My stomach grumbled.

Then I heard quiet murmuring coming from the kicthen. It was Alice and Rosalietalking or arguing..

"... but Rose she deserves to know!" Alice hissed in a quiet whisper. Were they whispering because they didn't want to wake me up or because they didn't want me to here what they were saying? " I don't like keeping this from her. She's are closest friend and I know we can trust her."

" I trust her to Alice but it's not really our secret to give away!" Rose exclaimed.

" She should know." Alice repeated stubbornly. Rose sighed.

At that moment my stomach decided to make it's presence known with a ferocious growl. They instantly quieted down. I heard the clicking of forks against plates. I decided my stomach couldn't take it any longer and got up. I went into the kitchen to find the two eating with vacant looks on their faces.

" Good morning sleepy head." ALice greeted.

" Hey Bella" Rose greeted. I said good morning and sat at a chair and ate the breakfast that they had sat out for me. It was silent for a few minutes.

" So are we still going to the Beach? " I asked breaking the silence.

Alice gave Rose a look. Rose sighed and said with a small smile, " Sure" Alice beamed at Rose while Rose rolled her eyes with a smile on her face. I felt that they had made a decision bigger then just going to a beach or not.

I , too, smiled. Whatever was going on between my two friends I didn't care at that moment. Today was going to be a blast!
