10 years into the Future

Chapter 5

I awoke to a bright, sterile white room. My eyes blinked rapidly. Searching for someone. I glanced around my eyes resting on a sleeping Renesme. I turned and saw Bella standing near the door.

"She wouldn't leave your side," She said coming closer. She walked gracefully like she was in a dream, "she think it's all her fault that you got hurt. You should know that she does love Jacob. I wouldn't want to see Jacob get hurt again."

"Again?" I croaked.

"He was in love with me, you know. When I was a human. But because I loved Edward, and still do, he tried to move on. When he found out that I was pregnant, he was hurt deeply. But then he found Renseme and I saw he was happy again. I don't want that to go away," Bella said. Her face was looked like if she could cry, she would. Suddenly I saw where her gaze was. I followed it and saw it on my arm. From my wrist to my elbow, there was a long scar, four long lines, from the attack I guessed. I glanced up at her. She was still staring.

Suddenly Nessie stirred in her sleep and blinked her eyes open.

"Mom?" She asked, her musical voice drifting through the air.

"Right here," Bella said and whispered something too low for me to hear. Then Bella left, joining Edward I assumed.

"Hey," Nessie said coming to my side.

"Hey. What happened. I don't remember much," I asked.

"Jacob lunged at you and gave you that scar. Sam and Embry pulled him off of you and we rushed you to the hospital," Nessie filled me in.

"Wow," I gulped. Nessie's ears perked up and then I heard footsteps outside the door. Slowly the knob turned and Jacob walked in.

"Nessie, can I speak to Ash alone please?" Jake said. Renesme nodded and quickly left the room. Jacob stayed close to the door.

"Look, Ashton I'm sorry. I love Nessie so much that I can't bear to see her in someone else's arms. I made myself a promise a long time ago that I just want Nessie to be happy and if you are what she wants, then I'm okay with that," Jake said. I inspected myself and as far as I could tell, it was only the scar. That's okay, girls dig scars.

"Jacob, I didn't mean to come in between you and Nessie. She's a good friend but you deserve her," I told him. Even as I spoke, I felt myself ease. This whole vampire, werewolf world isn't for me.

The door suddenly burst open and there was Nessie standing there. Of course she heard the whole thing, she was half vampire.

"Oh Jake! I shouldn't have been so clueless. I knew you loved me and I didn't even register that. I love you too!" She said and then leapt towards him. Right before my eyes, I saw the best friend I ever had, kissing the guy that just attacked me. Although I liked her, I just wanted her happiness. Plus there were other fish in the sea. Looks like, it all turned out well.

2 weeks later

I walked into class wearing a t-shirt and jeans. It was finally nice weather although the sun wasn't shining. Today was the day. I walked over to Michelle and stood by her side.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi. I heard about what happened. Your dog did that? Wow," Michelle said turning in her seat. The story that the Cullens, Quileutes and I decided was that I got attacked by my dog. But to people that personally know me, it was Jacob's dog.

"Yeah, he's better now. So I was kind of wondering if you had a date for the prom yet?" I asked nervously. Michelle looked startled and happy at the same moment.

"No I don't," She said happily.

"Great. Because I was kind of wondering if you would like to go with me," I asked.

"Yes! Yes of course!" She said and then before I knew it, I had my first kiss and my first real love.
