Disclaimer! - I don't own any of the characters. But if I did...I think we all know wat we would all do to sexy Jacob...but yea on with the story!
A/N
sooo I just went in and just did some revising. I also wasn't all that sure when Bella's actual b-day was so I had googled it…and well I really needed to go fix some things…but nothing much. Like the first chapter I went in just fixed a few misspelled words and added some words in. As I was rereading my story I really got in to it so let's just say the next chapter should be up shortly J
I woke the next morning feeling better than I have in along time. I patted my bed looking for Jacob. He's a pretty big guy...it would be hard not to find him with the first pat, or the second, third…I sat up looking for him. He wasn't here. I didn't see him anywhere. Then I started to wonder was last night really all just a dream...no one really cares that much for me to come throw rocks at my window at 2 in the morning just to chill with lonely little me. I started to cry my face fell into my hands. "I'm sorry Bella. I wanted to stay." I heard someone say. OK...maybe I'm going crazy...I looked up, nope, no one here. I slowly got out of bed. I looked out through my window. "Ha I sooo don't have vampire like hearing. Why am I even checking out here?" I laughed at myself. Sooo who did I hear. The voice sounded like Jake's but he's no were in sight or ear shot for me to hear.
I heard my phone go off, Wolfie, "sorry Bella I wanted to stay. Really I did, but I didn't want your dad to freak. You looked so beautiful while you slept." I blushed did he just watch me sleep all night. Who watches someone sleep all night?
Thinking that was a mistake on my part I started to see him, first I saw his beautiful honey colored eyes that use to stare into mine with so much kindness. Second, that crooked smile he would give me, and then lastly my mind imagine all of him. No, I don't want this anymore. My heart still aches for him…No, this is not going to stop me anymore. I don't want to be this lifeless body any longer. "Time to grow up" I told myself.
I didn't want Jake to know I freaked out when I didn't find him next to me, but for some reason I think he knew but I still wanted to play it off...I texted him back "no it'z kool I understand thax for stayin for how ever long you did"
I couldn't help the smile that came every time I think about Jacob. He's just a friend, just a friend. I had to keep telling myself that all morning as I was doing my morning routine, making my bed, grabbing some clean clothes, in the shower, brushing my teeth, and hair. All threw the morning I kept thinking about him. Before I went down stairs I made sure I had everything before I went to make some breakfast for Charlie and I.
Hmmmm I'm in a really good mood so I'll spoil Charlie this morning. I made Pancakes, bacon, and scrabble eggs. "DAD" I called from the kitchen "BREAKFAST IS READY" I heard him practically running down the stairs it made me laugh at how child like my dad could be sometimes especially when it came to food. When he saw his plate sitting on the table his eyes almost popped out of his head. I tried to stifle a giggle with my hand over my mouth when I saw him, but he saw me and calmly went back to his good old self and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand asking me "Soo you had a goodnight sleep?" I just nodded my head, turned and grab some food for myself. I only grabbed a couple slices of bacon and some eggs. "So what do you have planned today" he asked trying to conversation with me.
Yet again I shrugged my shoulders and said "I don't know...school,...and...Coming home,...doing homework, other than that nothing else, why?" Yes Charlie has turned into this very concerned parent since the night I was found in the woods.
"Well since your calendar isn't booked, how about we head down to La Push after I get out of work and visit Billy and Jacob. I bet they would love for us to come over, we haven't gone over in a some time."
Just the thought of Jacob made me smile. "Umm yea sure." I nodded my head and gave my dad a big smile. I saw his eyes get big again, probably happy that I can give a genuine smile. We ate in silence for a little while till we heard a knock at the door. Traded puzzled looks, then I got up to answer the door.
Before I could even see who it was I was in a bear hug, just like the ones Emmet use to give me…I'll miss those…ugh no, no, NO remember trying to get over him and remembering his family hurts all the same. They were like my own family…I got so close to all of them. Granted Jasper had to always hold back and it was hard to really get to know him, and Rose would always act like a real bitch sometimes, but I still loved all of them.
The person holding me in the vice like hug was talking to me and I wasn't paying attention the only thing I heard was "taking you to school today." That's when I was put down and I looked up to see who was holding me. Jacob. I gave him a confused look and he repeated what he was saying while I was daydreaming about my "would have been" family. "I said your truck broke down and I'm going to need to work on it, so I'm going to take you to school today. I'll just have one of the guys come tow it to my garage."
"That's a great idea!" Charlie butted in before I could say a word. "I was just telling Bella we should go visit you and your dad today anyways. So after school you can just take her to your place and I'll meet ya'll there, how does that sound?" he said to me.
Yet again before I could say a word Jacob answered for me "sounds like a plan I'll call dad up and let him know."
"No that's ok I talked to him last night so he already knows that we were planning on coming already. You just be careful driving. I gotta get going I'll see ya'll two after work." With that Charlie got up from his sitting place and I took his plate to the sink to wash it.
"Bye Charlie" I heard him grab his things and shut the door. "Hey Jake are you hungry I made a little too much this morning for breakfast." I was about to turn around to get a plate for him, but me being accident prone Bella, my ankle rolled I lost my balance I shut my eyes waiting on the pain but I was in warm arm. I opened my eyes to see Jacob's big beautiful brown eyes looking into mine, his right arm wrapped around my waist and his left protecting the back of my head. In one swift move he picked me up bridal style again and carried me over to the table and sat me on top of it. His hands slid down my right leg down to my ankle, he moved my foot in little circles and I winced in pain. He saw my discomfort and took my shoe and sock off and started to massage my ankle.
"It looks like it might be sprained Bella. I can wrap it for you if you have an ace bandage." He looked so sad when he said this. I just nodded my head and pointed to the cabinet that was a little to the left of him. He turned to were I pointed and pulled the first aid kit, and wrapped my ankle with the white bandage he found. "It's not too tight, is it?" he was so close to me. His forehead pressed up against mine.
"No, it's perfect" I gave him a sweet smile and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek "thank you" I watched his left arm slowly go up to his cheek to the place I kissed and covered it with his hand giving a small smile.
"Well if I get kisses from you as thank you's I'll be sure to do lots of things for you" his smile grew wider into that big toothy smile that I love to see so much.
He helped me down from the table and I tried to walk, but it hurt so much. "Does it hurt a lot?" he asked with so much concern. His smile faded and his eyes were filled with as much as concern as his voice.
"Yea, but I'll be ok. I just gotta walk it off." I tried to reassure him. I started walking to the front to grab my book bag, ok maybe more like wobbled over to it, but he beat me to my bag threw it over his shoulder, and then picked me up again bridal style. I felt like a baby when he would carry me. "Jake I have to put the food away" I complained as he was walking to open the front door.
"Nope, I already took care of it." He showed me a plate wrapped in foil. "You did offer it to me right?" I just nodded my head. How did he get so fast, and when did he get so tall? Not like I'm complaining, I like it a lot! It just…happened all so fast.
We got out of my house no problem. He walked me to his rabbit and opened the passenger door before putting me down. "Thank you Jacob." I said as I was putting my seat belt on when he got into the driver's side.
"can I have the "thank you" you gave me before?" he said with a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes and leaned closer to him as he did me, closed my eyes and gave him a small kiss on his cheek Jacob started the car. The song he was listening to I never heard before,
It's so like you just to show up at my door
And act like nothin's happened
You think I'll sweep my heart up off the floor
And give it to you
Like so many times before
You're talking to a stranger
I'm not that girl anymore
Chorus
That girl is long gone
Boy you missed the boat it just sailed away
Long gone
She's not drowning in her yesterdays
Betcha never thought I'd be that strong
Well this girl is long gone
Don't waste your breath with baby baby please
Cuz I am so not listening
Don't bother getting down upon your knees and try to beg me
I'm tired of how you twist the truth
You're not talking to the same girl
Who used to forgive you
I smiled to myself while listening to this song. This song made me want to live a little more I want to feel that way, the lyrics really did hit home for me. I continued to listen to the song and made a note to myself that I should go buy that CD. "Good song, huh?" I heard Jacob inquire me.
"Huh, oh yeah it really is. Who sings it? I think I'm going to buy the CD when I can" I answered
"Lady Antebellum, it's a nice country band. I just started listening to them myself and I like them so far."
Jacob was always so easy to talk to. Even when we weren't talking, nothing felt awkward. "Jacob?" I asked when he pulled into the parking lot for school.
"What's up Bella" he said as he put the car into park, and started undoing his seatbelt.
"I'm glad I have a friend like you" I gave him another kiss on his cheek "promise me something Jacob."
"Anything, if it's for you I'd promise you the stars." his left hand was on my cheek his thumb rubbing back and forth on my jaw line.
"Promise you'll never leave me." I needed Jacob in my life. He always made me feel better.
"I promise I'll never ever leave you Bella. When you got a problem just call me, and I'll be there before you shed your first tear. I'll make you smile even if you don't want to. I never want to see you unhappy again. Bella I love you. I always have, and nothing is going to change that." he said as he pulled me into himself. His chin rested on my head, and he held me tightly.
"Thank you Jacob. Again, thank you." I said giving him another little kiss on his cheek, and started to reach for the handle to start to go to class.
"No, I'll get it for you." He said pulling the door closed and opening his. I saw girls staring at him as he walked to open my door. I started to get jealous. "he's mine." I mentally told everyone. Jake held back a laugh as he opened my door. I stepped out my ankle still hurt a little bit. Grabbed my book bag and was swooped off my feet again and onto the hood of his car. "Bella I want you to know something. I-" he was cut off as we heard the bell ring for class to start. "Bella before you go off, do you remember that story I told you about the cold ones? Do you remember what I told you about the Quilette blood line?"
"BELLA" I heard Angela and Jessica call me.
"Kinda…" I heard someone running to us but couldn't see who it was because Jacob stood in front of me.
"Bella we're going to be late" It was Angela. She tugged at my arm a little.
"Try to remember the whole story. I'll talk to you about it when I come get you." Jacob said as he helped me off the hood of his rabbit. Gave me another one of those big bear hugs and kissed my forehead.
Angela and I started walking off to class together. "Sooo who's that?" she said with a wink and pointed back with her thumb.
"You remember Jacob, when we went to Port Angeles that one day."
I saw her jaw drop a little. "That was Jacob?" I have a feeling I'm not going to get the reaction from just her. What a way to make an impression Jakey Boy.
The good thing about me hurting my ankle this morning, I got to sit out during gym while everyone else ran around the boundary of the gym, "Yay!" I thought. I'm so lucky the Coach is cool with me, with it being finials and all. I just had to meet the quota for sit ups and that wasn't hard. After I finished my sit ups I started to think about what Jacob told me, I sat there watching everyone run and I started to think about what Jacob told me that day I went to La Push with everyone, and he and I started to walk just the two of us. …Ok so that was the story that pushed me to learn about the "cold ones" as he called them in his story. There's more to it…think Bella think.
"Decedents from wolves." I heard the voice again. Ok this is getting weird, but it helped.
I started to think about it some more, but before I could get a real lock on anything in the story I heard a whistle, and the couch yell "time to go clean up. Great job everyone. Have a wonderful holiday" I started walking back to locker rooms to get ready for the next class. I was ready for the bell to ring outside in the hall. Ugh! Can this 1 minute go by any slower! I felt someone put there hand on my shoulder.
"Hey Bella, I saw your walking with a little limp in your step" oh god I rolled my eyes it was Mike…ugh. Couldn't he just stay with Jessica?
"Oh you know, clumsy Bella." I shrugged. "I was getting my bag this morning and some how I rolled my ankle, must have taken a wrong step."
"Well I'm sorry…if you need any help getting to classes I'd gladly help, don't hesitate to ask." Don't get me wrong Mike's a cool guy and all, but….sooo not my type.
The bell finally rang. "yes!" that was the longest minute ever. I grabbed my bag and started for the door, when I hear "Bella let me take that for you." Mike grabbed my bag from me. Why me, why me! I wanted to shout.
"No it's ok, I got it." I took it back from him and pointed "hey I think Eric was just calling for you" he looked and I turned around and headed for the forest. It was just my study hall period class and we weren't goin to have finial, plus I need to think in silence, and the forest was just that, silent.
I started walking deeper in, no one could see now. I sat on the log that was lying on the ground, put my bag on the ground next to me, and started looking through it for my note book, so I could write a little. I started to fiddle with my pencil bouncing it up and down trying to think of something to write;
The silent whispers I hear
Are they you?
Are you trying to tell me something?
Whispers in the wind
Come, speak to me again
I'll lend you my ear
Just so I can hear your sweet voice
Tell me what it is you want.
A picture of a wolf came into my head, he was huge. Almost three times as big as a normal wolf, his eyes were a deep dark brown, his fur black. Were have I seen him before? Then I saw the wolf transform into a man. He was tall, had short black hair, and nicely built.
"Bella?" I heard someone call. I turned around and standing only 5 feet away from me stood Laurent. His dark skin shimmered when the sun would hit him a little. I saw his eyes change colors. From honey to black, and I think I saw a little red…Everything I was holding fell to the ground and I internally screamed for help. I felt the wind pick up a little and he sniffed the air. It looked as if he was in ecstasy. "mmMmm I haven't had human in such a long time. Mind if I take a bite?" he came at me so fast. I closed my eyes thinking this is the end. This is how I'm going to die. I heard a growl from something in front of me.
"Bella are you ok" I heard the voice again. I opened my right eye slightly, there stood 4 huge wolves. The black one from my dreams stood in front, a silver colored one that was just a tad smaller than the black stood to his left, a dark brown one on the right of the black one, and a russet colored one stood in front of me in a protective manner. I heard them all growl this time and saw Laurent with a look of fright in his eyes as he took a step back and wolves took a step closer to him, and then they were off in less than a second none of them were left to be seen.
I saw pictures of Laurent running away as fast as he could, but the big black wolf tackled him down to the ground and pinned him there, while the others tore his body limb from limb. The head was the last thing the black wolf tore off of what was Laurent. I saw the dark brown one run off in to the woods and never saw him come back, who I did see come back was Embry. I remember meeting him a while back. He laid down some wood and started a fire slowly one after the other I saw each wolf throw parts of Laurent in then bury it under wood so the body parts wouldn't touch. Just as it was the last thing detached from the body it was the last thing destroyed. His eyes were closed and his dreads burned fast.
Then I wasn't able to see anything. No more wolves and no more burning Laurent. I looked down and saw my notebook and pencil lying on the floor, and huge paw prints. My legs started to wobble then they gave out. I laid on the ground a closed my eyes. I felt so exhausted.

sooo the way my chapters are goin to work is everything is goin to be in BPOV, and the chapter won't be over till she goes to sleep so some chapters are goin to be longer, all just depends on the times I have Bella wake up. I'm thinking of doing another story with JPOV. only cause I don't want to go back and forth between them. being a girl and kinda going through something like this made it easier for me to just do Bella's pov, but now I'm starting to think of what Jacob could be doin and how he feels, his wants and needs *wink*. But yea...I'm not abandoning this story. I like how my mind is taking it. :D
