Jake POV
This was not what I imagined would happen when I came here. I had just come home from patrol. I had been slacking this week, so I had to pick up some late shifts last night. I had just finished my last round and I was headed back to Emily and Sam's house.
As I made my way closer to the door, the most intoxicating scent hint my nose. It felt like a high, a high I never wanted to stop. I made my way inside like a hypnotized person. The further I made my way into the house, the stronger the scent became. I was surprised no one heard me come in but I soon found out why. I could hear their laughs booming throughout the house.
I followed the noise and the scent into the living room. I stepped into the room and was greeted with the most shocking sight in my life.
Bella.
My Bella.
She was here.
She was mesmerizing. She looked even more beautiful since last time I saw her. Her hair was longer, way longer and it looked like it reached to her waist. Her beautiful chestnut hair, that I want to run my hands through. She still had her innocent, doe like dark brown eyes. They were like the finest chocolate. Her heart shaped face and pouty lips made my heart skip a beat. She was simply perfect.
Her eyes met mine and I felt my whole world light up. At that moment, it wasn't gravity holding me to this Earth, it was her. My whole planet revolved around her and nothing else mattered. I saw our lives flash before my eyes. Our first day, out first fight, how we make up, the day I propose, our wedding day, the day I/we find out she's pregnant, the day our kids our born... All of it flashed through my head and as smile broke onto my face at the thought.
We stared into each others eyes. I could get lost in her eyes forever. She opened her mouth and it was like angels singing.
"Jacob"
"Bella"
We continue to stare at each other, when I finally snap out of it and make my way towards her. She stays in her seat frozen, and soon I was standing in front of her. All I could see was her, and it felt like there was no one in the room but us. I looked down at her.
"Jake" she breathed out. I reached my hand up and cupped her cheek. She stood up with her face still in my palm. Her short 5'5 stature was tiny compared to my 6'5 frame. It was honestly adorable. She nuzzled her face into my palm and I felt a wave of happiness come over me.
" Bella, my beautiful belle" I whispered to her. She looked at me and I could see all the love and adoration in her eyes and I knew mine were mirroring the same emotions.
" You have finally come back to me, my little bellarina" I say to her. My thoughts wander back to the day she left. Left me.
Flashback
"Bellarina, why do you have to leave? Don't leave me!" my 10 year old self said to a 7 year old Bella. She looked at me with sad eyes and gave me a small smile
" I have to Jake, its the best way to keep me safe," she replied back to me, packing her bags at the same time. She turned her back to me and I knew she was on the verge of crying. I took her in my arms and turned her towards me. She started to sob and I just comforted her. I was hurting but she was hurting more
" I don't want to leave Jake. I know its for the best but I love it here. This is my home. I don't want to leave LaPush or Paul or Billy or any of the pack. I don't want to leave you," she whispered into my chest. Her voice cracked towards the end and it broke my heart to see her like this
"Don't cry belle, you know I hate to see you cry. Be strong, I know everything will be okay." Honestly, I didn't. I didn't know if I would ever see her again. A tear rolled down my cheek and onto her hair. She must have felt it because she looked up at with with sad eyes.
" Don't cry Jake" she tried to comfort me
" How can I not when my little bellarina is leaving me," my voice cracked a little toward the end but I faked a cough to try and hide it. But my little Bella saw right through it. She gave me a small smile and a comforting look.
" Its alright Jakey, everything will be okay"
" I should be saying that to you, not the other way around"
" Its okay to be sad jake, its nice to know you care," she said and a blush appeared on her face.
" Of course I care, your my best friend," I exclaimed
" I know and its because were best friends that we will get through this," she looked at me and said with a determined look. " Best friends can never be torn apart". Bella was so smart for her age. Its one of the things I loved about her. I pulled her away from me and looked her in the eyes
" What's wrong Jake?" she questioned with a concerned look on her face. I hooked my hand behind my neck and started to take off my necklace. My mother's necklace.
" I want you to have this" I said. She had a doubtful look on her face and she pushed my hand away when I offered it to her.
" Jake, I cant. That's your mom's necklace. I know how much it means to you and I could never take that ways from you" she said.
" I know its the second most important thing I have, the fist being you and my dad. Its really important to me and that is why I want you to have it. To remember me bye." She looked hesitant to take it but I really wanted her to have it. " Please Bella," I begged. Her eyes softened and she gave in.
" Fine-" she sighed " but if I'm taking this, I want you to have this." She unlocked her dad's necklace from her neck. It was the only thing she had left of him. Paul and Bella dad left a long time ago leaving their mom to raise them alone . This was the last thing from him to her and I knew it was a big deal for her.
" Bella-" I started only to be cut off
" Look, you just begged me to take your mothers necklace, so I want you to have mines. To remember me bye," she quoted me at the end. I was still a a little hesitant but she gave me a pleading look and I understood how much she wanted me to have it. I took the necklace and put it on.
" I'll treasure it with my life"
" Can you put mines on me, please?" she asked me. She handed me the necklace and turned around. She took her hair and lifted it, and I fastened the necklace on her neck. She turned and looked up at me
" Don't think this is the last time we will see each other. I will be coming back, you're stuck with me for the rest of your life" she said with a determined look and playful voice.
Lets just hope so
Flashback end
That was the last time I saw my Bella and she came back, like she said she would. I should have known, Bella was never one to break a promise. I gathered her into my arms and held her, afraid she would disappear again
" Jake" she whispered contently
" Bella, my Bella"
Nothing in the world would take her from me again
