I like this chapter, but I think that Jacob is a little OC. I had trouble writing his part. Just to let you all know in advance.

I glanced down at my engagement ring while sitting in Jake's car. It was a pretty ring--Jake had good taste in jewelry. I was so surprised when he got down and proposed. It was romantic though.
Jacob and I had come back to Forks for spring break. We both now attend Washington University in Seattle. I am a junior and he is a freshman there. I was hesitant to start a relationship with him. I was still damaged and broken when we started dating during spring break of my senior year. The hole that was Edward's absence was still there, but slowly Jake mended it. It doesn't hurt now, in fact, his name brings out no emotion in me. I owe that to Jacob.
Then I went off to college. It was hard to be away from Jake, but I talked to him every day and saw him frequently. Angela and Ben were always there to hang out with too. I was so glad when Jacob graduated and joined me in Seattle. The pack was a little upset, but Sam understood. He knew what Jake felt (they all did) and let him go.
So Jacob and I decided to come down to Forks for break and see everyone. The pack was happy and I knew that Charlie missed me. I always come to see Charlie whenever I can. He gets kind of lonely (and sick of takeout).
"Your pretty quiet there Bells." Jake turned to look at me and he grabbed my hand; quickly glancing at my ring. "What are you thinking about?"
I didn't know how to reply. What to tell him? "Mostly about us. How we got together, what we've been through."
"I know Bella. I was thinking along the same lines. I am so happy we are getting married."
Jake pulled in my driveway then and I had to go tell Charlie the news. He was going to be ecstatic. He loves Jacob. It is his dream come true to have us getting married.
"Sure you don't want to come in? I could help you tell Charlie. He'll be thrilled," Jake offered.
"It's ok. I got this," I said as I leaned over to kiss him. "Night."
"Goodnight hun," Jake replied and he backed up and drove home as soon as I was out of the car.
I walked up to the door and went inside.
"Dad? I'm home."
"Bella! I'm in the living room."
I walked into the living room and gave Charlie a hug.
"It's good to have you back Bells. I am just a little upset though that Billy got to see you first," Charlie joked.
"Hey Dad. It's nice to see you too. There was a reason Billy go to see me first."
"Oh?" Charlie gave me a suspicious glance and I casually hid my ring with my right hand.
"Yeah. There is something I want to tell you. Jake and I went to see Billy first because Jake had to pick something up. He grabbed it and then asked me if I wanted to take a walk on the beach."
"Uh, Bells?" Charlie interrupted me. "Is there a point to this story? I don't really want to hear about intimate details with Jake."
I blushed. "No! Nothing like that Dad!"
"Well, ok. Just tell the story," Charlie said.
"So we talked and then Jake got on one knee," I said trying to speed the story up. "And…" I showed Charlie the ring and his eyes bulged. "I said yes."
"Bella!! This is great! I am so happy for you! You're getting married to Jake. I knew this would happen eventually."
Charlie went on like that for a while and I, after a celebratory glass of wine (and beer for Charlie), went upstairs to bed.
I changed into some sweats, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and climbed into bed.
I thought about the day I had had. I loved Jacob. I really did, but for some reason my thoughts strayed to Edward. I don't really know why. I mean, I occasionally thought about him, but it was strange. I couldn't help but to feel that Edward's ring should be on my finger…
I immediately felt guilty. Jake was the one I loved and was going to marry. But for some reason, I saw Edward's face as I drifted into unconsciousness.
