A/N For this chapter I would like to dedicate to Jacob Black Rulez, Sinthia Van Dan and Ole Miss Chick for the amazing reviews.!
They made me smile. And really encourage me to keep going!

Chapter 8
"The Sun"
The woods flashed by as I drove faster than I ever had before. Charlie would die, literally if he knew. But I couldn't help it. I had to tell him. Tell him that I chose him, finally after soo long hitting back his advances. I was sooo blind to my emotions that it wasn't funny. Maybe I was just too stubborn to let myself notice. As the houses came into view and the trees started to thin I became hyperventilating.
Calm down Bella. I told myself. But it didn't work, not even a little bit.
I knew that it would only get better when I saw him.

Soon enough, I pulled into the parking lot a first beach.
He was there, sitting on our tree. And it was actually Sunny, In Forks? Wow.
I jumped out if the car and slammed my knee into the dash.
"Ow!" I screeched involuntarily and with that Jake came running. Fan-tastic Bella, just how you wanted to start this conversation.
"You ok?" Jake looked very nervous.
"Yeah, fine. Showing of the finer points of my humanity" He smiled, which made me smile.
"C'mon" he said taking my hand, finally breaking the nice but weird moment.
We sat down on the beach, and I stretched out, enjoying the Sun for however long it lasted.
"So your staying human?" He stared nervously. It was so completely not Jake-like to be nervous.
"Yes"
"Why the sudden change in life plan, Bella?"
"I realised just how much I would have to give up"
"Only now?" he joked
"Yeah... took me long enough huh?" He started laughing
"Yeah, you lose points for this one, being slow and all?" He snickered again. I was outraged but secretly glad that it was still the same as before Edward had left. Still trying to convince me that the whole age thing didn't matter.
"I think I'm over the age thing now. I think you win. You're older because you were right, age doesn't matter"
"Oh my God Jake! Are you blushing?"
"No..." and he tried to hide his face with his hands, but I grasped them out of the way.
I looked up at the sun. It was threading in and out behind the clouds. And then it disappeared completely, obscured by the clouds. I shivered, It was cold and I wasn't wearing a coat. Before I knew it, Jake had put his humongous arm around me and I put my head against his chest.
"Well I hope you enjoyed the Sun while it lasted. It is Forks you know" He smiled his Jacob-smile. The very best kind. There was no hint of Sam.
It was time, now or Never Bella.
"Err Jake" I was suddenly very nervous and my throat seemed to close up.
"Yeah Bells?"

"You know Jake, I kind of see you as my personal sun."
"What extremely warm, so you steal away all my heat?" He smiled, arching one of his eyebrows.
"No, Silly" I smacked him playfully on his arm.
"Remember, use a crowbar or a baseball bat Bella, you know how the last time went. He tapped on my cast.
"That not what I meant and you know it. It's just that you balanced the clouds out just nicely for me when Edward was gone." I smiled to myself, everything had changed, it seemed like so long ago when it wasn't.
"But the Sun can't fight with an Eclipse Bella" Jake looked at me, waiting. He knew where this was going and he wanted to know he wasn't dreaming. I looked at him very smugly.
"No, It can't" He looked hurt, but he just needed to let me explain.
"But Jake, the Moon doesn't obscure the Sun forever. It moves, and then all that is left is the Sun, waiting patiently, shinning brighter than anything before it."
He smiled, unsure. He was going to make me say it. I was all too willing. We both knew that it was true and that he was right all along.
" Jake, I love you. And I'm sorry that it took so long for me to realise. It's because of you that I'm still here today, no thanks to my cliff diving. You've waited patiently, knowing and you've fought for me for so long. I can't stay away from you Jake."
He was positively shining. Bouncing up and down in excitement, but he was a little restrained.
"What about the bloodsucker, Edward, you know...?" How did I know that one was coming?
"It's over." He looked dumbfounded.
"Serious?" still in disbelief.
"Deathly. I broke up with him"
"You make it sound so normal" He scoffed.
"Breaking up is normal. For most people anyways."
"I spose, I'm not exactly normal either... Were both odd..."
"Don't make me go and get that crowbar"
"Ohhh... Bite me" He snickered and feigned horror.
"Ew no thanks"
"Finally a normal response to the life-sucking monsters"
It hurt a little bit for him to say that, but it was true.
"The Cullens aren't going anywhere, their still like family to me"
"I know. I'll try and behave"
"Okay, so long as you don't make me go and get the newspaper and smack you over the snout with it"
"Haha. Mutt jibes. Maybe you shouldn't spend so much time with Alice Cullen"
"I'll try"
"But seriously. You mean it? You and me, Minus Edward?" He was still checking. In complete and utter disbelief.
I couldn't take it anymore. I twisted my head around and reached up to Jake, crushing my lips to his. He met my enthusiasm with an eagerness that was nothing short of violence. Ever since that Kiss in the meadow, just days ago, kissing meant something completely different to me. It was no longer Edward setting the boundries, pulling away and joking that we had risked my life enough for one night. No, It was completely different. Jake certainly didn't hold back and I certainly didn't either. Again, I couldn't see or hear anything that wasn't Jake. Until I did.
"Whow! Bella?" Oh Crap. I froze and pulled away from Jake. I really really didn't want that to be who thought it was. But I was out of Luck.
"Hey Jess, Mike" I said nervously. Last they or anyone else know, I was with Edward, who Jake, very visibly was not.
"So Bella, who the hell is this?" She was practically jumping up and down. But I knew whether I told her or not, the whole town would know that I was making out with someone who was not my Boyfriend. Well, Fiancé but she didn't know that. She didn't ever need to know that.
"This is Jacob Black, Jake this is Jessica and Mike, you remember Mike right?" Ah the look in his eyes said it all. He definitely remembered Mike.
"So, wheres um, Edward" She was trying to be subtle but she ended up being about as subtle as a battering ram.
"Um Jess, Edward and I broke up" Jess and Mike's jaws dropped in unison.
"Who dumped who?" Jess spoke at like a million miles an hour.
For a second I hesitated, how much should I tell her? I decided to go with what Edward had told me a long time ago. A detailed lie. Not that it was much of a lie, just withholding somewhat vital bits of information. Say, that the Cullens were Vampires and The pack were werewolves.
"I dumped him, but it was sort of mutual. We both just wanted different things?" That sounded normal enough. But I could almost hear the thoughts going through her head. I didn't need to read her mind.
She dumped him? Just like that? I mean look at her she's not even that pretty. I mean Edward Freaking Cullen! What the Hell and now she's sucking face with him. I mean Edward is H-o-t but I doubt even Edward looks that good with his shirt off! Wonder what happened. Maybe he's like unbelievably bad in bed. Hey Maybe now that he's available! Hello!
"Like?" Jess shot back quickly, glancing at Jake. Given what I would bet she was thinking, I put my arm on the front of Jake's chest, protectively.
"Like College." Another common thing. I hope. She did look a little disappointed with my answers. But i knew that she would totally sensationalise the fact that she caught me and Jake.
Time to change the subject.
"So, what are you two doing here?" I knew that was all the prompt it would take.
"Mike's taking me on a romantic Picnic!" She almost squealed. Mike looked a little embarrassed.
"Are you guys back together?" I smiled. Too easy.
"Oh my God! I totally forgot to tell you Bella! So weird now, were out of school and all. Yeah! At your Graduation Party actually! Rockin Party BTW!"
"Your Welcome" All Alice that one. The party was most definitely not my idea.
"You having a going away party?"
"Huh?"
"College?" Oh, right. No.
"Ummm... Maybe. We'll see"
"Kay, great!" Jess continued.
"Well we've got to go. You too have fun. Nice seeing you" I grabbed Jake's arm and tugged him up off the tree.
"Totally, you too Bella. Nice meeting you Jake." She gave him a loaded glance.
"Cya Bella" Mike said, ignoring Jake.
I pulled Jake to the mini. For the first time he noticed that I was not driving my Truck.
"Whos is this?" Jake asked confused.
"I've seen most of the Bloodsuckers cars, huh" He looked at me. And I guess my guilty expression gave it away.
"Bella, is it yours?" He said it like it was a dirty word. I started to laugh. "Did the truck die?"
"It was murdered, by Alice I'd imagine. Or Emmett at Alice's request" The annoyance was gone and he smirked.
"Well I guess I'm not the only one with a problem with its limited speed. Don't worry. I know that Alice has the Porsche" I was outraged. Did everyone hate my truck but me?
"I hate you Jacob Black" He smiled.
"No you don't. You love me if I remember correctly"
"Nope, sorry, must have given you a concussion when I hit you with the crow-bar that last time"
"Oh Ha-har" That wiped the smile off his face. Hehe. But he still looked sumg.
"Get in" I said giving up. For Now.
We both jumped in the shiny blue mini, and to my shock I truly and utterly loved it.
I did feel bad because it was so expensive, but it was nice to have something so pretty. I had been raised on Renee's Kindergarten teacher's salary and while I never went without, it was pretty tight sometimes. Not that I would change my childhood for the world.
Alice had done great. Just like Alice always does.
"So where are we going?" Jake asked.
"To the Cullen's house. I need to get my stuff and then I'm going home" He grinned.

AS I hopped out of the car at the Cullen's, Jake quickly held my hand. This was not somewhere he felt comfortable.
"It's okay Jake they don't bite" That wasn't untrue. They don't bite humans anyways.
"Sure? I do believe you asked them to bite you once upon a time, not very long ago.."
"They'll only bite you if you ask them too..."
"Oh Don't worry mutt, the smell of you is bad enough. I wouldn't want to actually taste you" Rosalie let out a peel of evil laughter.
"Come on in Bella, I've got something Hilarious to tell you" Rosalie never told me anything much before, but I guess now that I had made my decision, the same decision she had made, we were friends.
I walked up the steps and then stopped. Jake's feet were seemingly glued to the ground.
"Oh come on" and he slowly but surely followed me into the pristine white lounge.
"Bella, Jacob, Welcome." Carlisle was very welcoming. He was standing by the Phone with Edward, Emmett and Alice. Edward's eyes flickered to our hands but said nothing.
"You would not believe who just called here looking for Edward." Alice looked like the Cheshire Cat.
"Who?" Since when did anyone in Town call the Cullen's.
"JESSICA STANLEY" Alice screeched, jumping up and down like a maniac.
"Oh no..." I whined.
"Oh Yes!" Emmett and Rosalie were laughing openly. Whereas Edward was highly unamused and Carlisle was clearly amused, but trying not to hurt Edwards feelings.
"She wanted to let Edward know that you were 'Totally cheating on him with some hot, shirtless guy, sucking-face on First Beach'" I groaned. It was worse than I imagined it to be.
"Great, now I'm a tramp!"
"Oh Hush Bella, you haven't heard the best part yet. She asked him if he was alright that she was there, if he needed a shoulder to cry on!" Everyone was laughing, surprisingly including Edward, if a little less than everyone else.
"Eddie's got himself a girlfriend! Are you crushed he moved so fast Bella!" Emmett. Say no more. Edward was embarrassed though, which I'm sure was Emmett's aim.
"Hardly, she brought the Dog with her" Alice added.
"Oh Whatever" Rosalie added.
"We are still here you know!" Then they stopped and looked at me. Emmett shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh and Bella" Edward was talking. It made me a little uncomfortable at what he might say.
"Yes?" Please don't be awkward.
"I'm about to go to Denali for a couple of days."'
"Eddie's going to get Tanya to ease some of his sexual frustrations for him!" Emmett said, laughing.
Edward had to control himself. I turned to Jake. Who was laughing with Emmett too.
"All the Vampires in Denali are girls. Very pretty girls, so I hear, right Edward?" Jacob looked highly mischievous, worryingly so.
"Oh hey Edward, mind if I come with, even if they are Vamps?" Jake looked at me evilly.
Edward snickered, seeing my shocked expression.
"Jacob Black!" I slapped him. Boy was I in a violent mood today.
The Cullen's all broke into laughter. Great.
"Fine, I'm going home. Enjoy your time with Eddie Jake" Emmett's booming Laugh filled the room again, as I trudged down the front steps. I heard someone running after me.
"Wait Bella!" It was Jake. I knew he was kidding. I was just going to have some fun with him.
"Bells, I'm sorry I was only..." He noticed that I was smirking when I turned around to face him.
"Hey that wasn't very nice!"
"Touche Jake."
"Here give me your keys. I'll drive you home, you look dead on your legs"
I handed him the keys when Edward came out with my things.
"Thought this was what you came for?" He said smiling politely, putting it into the boot.
"Thanks Edward, Have fun in Denali" I said, not really knowing what to say without being weird. It was still very awkward though.
"I'll try not to" He said. He was still smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes. It was exactly the same as the night of my Fateful Birthday Party. He was putting on a brave face, but I'll bet he was hurting more than he let me know. I sighed, suddenly feeling horrible guilty.
I hopped into the passenger's side and soon enough I rested my head on the window and felt utterly exhausted. I was going home to Charlie after my "Sleep-Over with Alice". It had only been three nights, but my life had changed more than Charlie would ever know.
It had been a very long day, I thought as I drifted off to sleep....

KK! That was a little longer and I hoped that You liked it.
So, next chapter, she goes home to Charlie like nothing has ever happened. But Charlie's not stupid and Bella lets something slip to Charlie.....

Reviews are my Heroin, so please don't deny me my fix! (Joking, but seriously, press the green button)
