No Point of View
Bella and Shannon walked into their house. Charlie was at work, so they were there alone.
Shannon flopped down on the sofa and Bella walked into the kitchen.
She then got a text message.
Bella's P.O.V
'Jake...' I thought smiling.
But when I checked the contact, it read 'unknown'.
I could tell my face was messed up, but I read the text anyways.
-Bella. I'm coming back for you. Alice has reached contact with me and I've been told you are having nightmares. I'll be back soon. Don't worry.-
Alice? How did she- Oh no... Edward.
"EDWARD!" I screamed.
Shannon then came sprinting in. "What's wrong? !" She asked panicking.
I couldn't catch my breath. "I-I got a text from Ed-Edward." I said quickly.
At first Shannon just stared at me, then it turned into her 'pissed off' look.
She just stared at me then gently took my phone out of my hand.
"Shannon... What are you doing...?" I asked curiously.
I watched her as she did something then put the phone up to her ear.
Then, I immediately knew what she was doing.
My eyes nearly popped out of my head.
"NO!" I screamed. I started chasing her around the house.
She then got to the bathroom and locked herself in.
"SHANNON. GET OUT HERE. RIGHT. NOW!" I yelled.
"Hi." I heard her say in an angelic voice.
My eyes widened and I pressed my ear against the door.
"No. It's not Bella. Is this Edward?" She asked.
"Hmm... Hi Edward. It's Shannon. Bella's sister. Yeah, you don't know me." She said again.
I started grinding my teeth.
"Actually. I'm caliing because of what you did to my sister."
"No!" I shouted again thumping on the door.
"Yeah you do. You left her. She was in a terrible state when I came here to Forks." She said.
"SHANNON! STOP IT!" I yelled.
"Whatever. Just stay away from her." She threatened.
"No. You can't come back here. By the way, I know you're a vampire. So yeah, no point in hiding douche bag."
My eyes widened then I closed them and sighed. I shook my head, knowing that yelling at her wouldn't do anything.
"If you come here. Of course I couldn't protect Bella. So I'll get Jacob and his friends!" She hung up and sighed.
I straightened myself up and stood with my hands on my hips, ready for Shannon to come out.
The door unlocked and then slowly opened.
Shannon walked out and gave a small innocent smile.
I stared at her and she gave small chuckle.
"I can explain y'know." She said quietly.
"Waiting." I said simply.
"Well. You know how things like that really annoy me. And I don't want it happening to my family. And that Edward dude sounds like a prick." She started.
I rolled my eyes.
"And... Well... I just don't want him... Hurting your feelings. I want you to be happy again." She said softly, looking at the floor.
I felt my tight face soften up.
Shannon flinched a little when I started walking towards her.
"I'm sorry." She said quickly.
I stopped. "What?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it." She quickly said again.
I furrowed my eyebrows and tilted my head.
"You're sorry?" I raised an eyebrow.
She nodded.
I smirked. "Why?"
She paused then shrugged. "I just... Am."
I gave a small laugh then hugged her.
"You don't have to be sorry. There was no point in doing. But I still love you for it." I said gently.
"Oh... Still. I'm sorry." She giggled.
I scoffed and ruffled her hair.
"What'd he say anyway?" I said pushing my hair back.
"Oh. Um... Nothing really." She answered awkwardly.
Then she started to walk down the stairs.
"Wait. What? Shannon. What did he say?" I asked annoyed. Following her down the stairs.
My eyes followed after her.
"And that he's coming here..." She added quietly.
It took me a minute for what she said to register.
"He's... What...?" I growled.
Shannon turned around and raised her eyebrows.
"Hm? What?" She asked.
"What?" I asked confused.
No Point of View
Shannon narrowed her eyes.
"Wait... Are you trying to confuse me?" Bella asked irritated.
Shannon closed her eyes and sighed.
"Okay... He said he's coming here." She said sadly.
Bella shook her head. "When?"
Shannon shrugged. "Beats me."
Bella closed her eyes and leaned up against the wall.
Shannon curved her lips and walked over beside Bella and put her hands in her pockets and leaned up against the wall.
"Look, Bells. I know, I don't know anything about relationships and stuff. But, I do know that I'm not letting any dude hurt your feelings. Vampire or not." She said looking at her older sister.
Bella opened her eyes and turned her head towards her younger sister.
"Thank you." She said quietly.
"I'll deal with him. You just, hang out with Jake." Shannon replied.
Bella chuckled. "Shannon. You're fourteen. How can you deal with a one hundred and eight year old vampire?"
"A hundred and eight?" Shannon squealed. "Pervert!"
Bella smiled and put her head on Shannon's shoulder.
"You always know how to make me feel better." She chuckled. "And Jake too."
"Ohh la la." Shannon giggled.
Bella snorted. "It's not like that. I mean, I do love him, and he loves me... But, I don't think I could risk our friendship like that."
Shannon looked down and sighed. "I getcha'. Yeah, do what you think's right."
Bella then looked up and slightly smiled.
"Thanks sis." She said.
Shannon patted Bella's head.
"No problemo." She smirked.
Bella then got another text and the two girls looked at each other with serious faces.
-Hey. Pick you up later. Can't wait to see you again. Talk to you later Beautiful.x
"It's from Jake." Bella said relieved.
Shannon smiled and nodded.
"So. You wanna' go get ready?" She then asked.
"Sure." Bella answered.
They both walked up the stairs to find something to wear.
Bella ended up with the usual, blue skinny jeans and brown sweater.
Shannon got grey skinny jeans and a black and red checkered top.
They each had their shower and did their make-up and got ready.
By the time they were ready, it was 6.30pm.
They both sat downstairs and waited on Jacob, who was coming to pick them up at 9.00pm.
Shannon sat on the sofa with her knees tucked into her chest.
"When I was younger, I saw, my daddy cry, and curse at the wind." She mumbled/sang into her knees.
Bella then walked into the living room when she heard the muffled singing.
"Still haven't stopped your thing for singing yet, huh?" She asked.
"Oh... Um. Yeah." Shannon said startled.
Bella nodded. "You're really good if that's what you're worried about."
Shannon chuckled. "Thanks."
All of a sudden, a car horn sounded from outside.
"That's us. Come on." Bella said, grabbing Shannon's hand.
The girls walked out of the house and locked it up, meeting Jacob on the porch.
"Hey guys." Jake said hugging each of them.
"Hey." They both said together.
"Alright... Let's go." Jacob said, letting Shannon into his Volkswagon Rabbit.
Jake turned on the radio when everyone was in the car, and Paramore came on.
"Sweet!" Shannon exclaimed.
"You like Paramore?" Jake asked.
"Yeah! This is one of my favourite songs!" Shannon replied.
"She sings it in the shower." Bella fit in, chuckling.
"Well... Misery Business is a good song. I don't see why she shouldn't." Jacob smiled and laughed.
Shannon rolled her eyes. "Thanks Bella, very much."
"Let's hit it." Jake said smiling.
The three left for the campfire and got there in about 20 minutes.
Jacob let Shannon out of the back and he walked over to Bella and took her hand in his.
Bella smiled up at him and looked at Shannon who smirked and rolled her eyes.
They got to the fire and the whole pack were there in human form.
"Guys! You made it!" Emily called, running over to them.
"Whoo! Jacob! Bella!" The boys called.
"Hey guys." Jake said smiling.
"Hi." Bella said.
"So, this must be Shannon." Sam said, putting his arm around Emily.
"Hi. Nice to meet you." Shannon smiled.
"Hey Shannon, I'm Sam. And this here is Emily." Sam said.
"Hi." Shannon said shaking their hands.
The other boys then came running over.
"Hey Shannon. I'm Jared."
"Embry."
"Paul."
"I'm Quil."
Shannon smiled and looked at Jake.
"Nice to meet you guys." She chuckled.
"Alright. Let's do what we came here for." Sam said clapping his hands together.
Everyone sat down around the fire and Shannon focused on Sam who started telling the story.
Shannon's P.O.V
Sam was telling a story about Spirit Warriors and stuff and saying that their tribe descends from wolves.
But the next thing caught me offguard.
"So Shannon. We all agreed to telling you our secret so it wouldn't be hard for any of us." Sam said.
I nodded, confused.
"Jake, do you wanna' tell her?" He asked.
Jake nodded. "Um... Shannon. When there are vampires near, our magic awakens, and we turn into... Werewolves."
I just stared at Jacob, then my eyes slowly scanned the other boys, who had anxious looks on their faces.
"W-Werewolves?" I repeated, studdering.
"Are you... Scared?" Embry asked.
I hesitated then shook my head. "No." I then said.
Everyone let out a breath.
"Well. Then in that case." Jared started.
All of a sudden... He just burst into a huge wolf. So fast, that if you blinked, you'd miss it. You could see his shredded clothes fly through the air.
He was a really really dark brown, almost black. If the fire wasn't here, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to see him.
He trotted over to me and bowed his head.
I looked at Bella who was smiling, then reached out and ruffled his dark fur.
He started panting then licked my face.
I chuckled. Then I looked at Jacob and Bella. they were both smiling, and Jake had his arm around Bells.
I smiled too, then turned towards the other guys.
"Well, I know what Jared looks like. So what do you guys look like?" I asked looking at Quil.
"Oh. I'm not a werewolf... Yet." He said smirking. He shook my hand and smiled.
I smiled back and nodded then looked at Embry.
"Embry?" I asked.
He chuckled and changed.
Embry was dark and light grey.
He walked over to me and put his paw out. I shook it and he put his nose to my palm.
I think it means 'Thanks you.' I can't be too sure.
I smiled and he ran into the trees after Jared.
"They're getting more clothes." Jake told me.
I nodded. "Hmm… Paul. Let's see you."
Paul showed a sly grin and changed.
He was just like Embry, but slightly darker, and bigger.
He showed his teeth and leaped in front of me. I flinched, but he put his paw on my head then moved his head round so I could scratch behind his ear.
I hesitated then reached out to do my service.
He barked and started kicking his leg out.
Everyone started chuckling and I rolled my eyes.
He backed away and nodded once. Then ran into the trees.
"Who's next?" I asked.
"Allow me." Sam said.
Sam changed, and stood tall on his four legs.
He was definitely the biggest. He was jet black. He must be the Alpha male.
He strode towards me.
I stared at him in awe. "Wow." I whispered.
He looked down at my hand then put his nose to my forehead. Then he licked my hand.
Then he ran into the trees.
"One last wolf for you to see." Emily smiled.
I smiled too, knowing.
"Jake. The best 'till last." I smirked.
Jacob smiled. "Of course." He chuckled.
"One wolf coming up." He then said.
He changed into a light and dark brown wolf.
I nodded. "Nice."
He ran up to me and put his two paws on my knees and bowed his head down to lick my face.
I laughed and ruffled his furry head.
Before I knew it, I was on his back.
"Whoa!" I exclaimed.
Jake showed his teeth and I gripped onto his mane.
Then, we were running through the forest.
It was all going by so fast. It was exhilarating. I couldn't even gasp, it caught my breath.
We ended up at La Push, then he ran back to the fire.
I jumped down off his back and he ran into the woods.
Bella and Emily were talking, then Bella noticed my face and chuckled.
"You enjoy that?" She asked.
I nodded. "It. Was. Amazing." I managed.
Her and Emily both laughed.
"I wouldn't know. But I have ridden a vampire." Bella said, clicking her tongue afterwards.
"We're faster!" Embry called running over and lifting me up and spinning me around.
I giggled. "Yeah… Wolves are cooler." I said.
"She had a point." Jared chuckled walking over to us with the other guys.
Jacob walked over to Bella, but all the other guys crowded around me, asking me questions about life, then I started asking them questions about their werewolf life, getting lost in conversation.
Bella's P.O.V
Jacob walked over to me and pulled me to my feet.
"Come with me." He said taking my hand.
"What about Shannon?" I asked.
"The guys will keep her plenty occupied." He replied.
I looked over at Shannon who was talking away to the pack.
"Okay. But, where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see." He answered with a cheeky grin on his face.
I followed after him and couldn't even take a guess at where we were going.
About ten minutes later, we stopped and Jake put a blindfold on me.
"Can you see?" He asked.
"Uh… No." I said with impatience. I hate surprises. Especially when you have to wait for them. Ugh.
"We're almost there." He said. He then lifted me, knowing that I'd trip. Smart boy.
"We're here." He said setting me down after a few minutes.
He took the blindfold off me and my jaw dropped.
We were on a beautiful part of the beach, and there was a blanket set out with roses over it, lanterns holding it down and a picnic basket in the middle.
It was a gorgeous setting. A picnic on the beach. A warm night, a gentle breeze and at dusk. A little light from the beautifully coloured sky. It was perfect.
I didn't even realise that I was crying until Jacob wiped the falling tear from my cheek with his thumb.
"You did this?" I asked quietly.
"Well… Yeah. I told you I wouldn't give up." He whispered into my ear, wrapping his big russet arms around me from behind.
I couldn't speak. I put my face into his shoulder and smiled.
At this point, I didn't even care what would happen tonight. Jacob was helping me get over Edward. And it was working now, more than ever.
"You wanna' eat?" He whispered.
I nodded silently and walked over and sat down on the blanket.
Jacob followed after me and gave me a rose.
I blushed. "Thank you." I said in almost a whisper.
"You're welcome." He grinned. "Y'see. If you went with those vampires… No one would be able to see that beautiful blush of yours." He said.
I blushed even more and looked down. "Don't talk about those guys. Tonight is just between me and you. Not them. Let's not ruin it." I said quietly.
Jake smiled. "Works for me." He said getting some plates out.
"Like pasta?" He asked.
I nodded. "Sure."
He got some pasta out of the basket and two glasses. Then he poured some sparkling water. Then got out napkins and forks.
"Enjoy." He said when he finished pouring the drinks.
I took a bite and my eyes rolled into the back of my head.
It was better than my cooking… And I'm older than him.
"Please. Don't tell me you made this." I begged.
"Secret recipe." He chuckled. "Do you like it?"
"It's amazing!" I exclaimed. "I'm impressed."
He winked at me, then we got into conversation.
"So. The guys really like Shannon." Jake told me.
"What'd they say?" I asked, shovelling another forkful of pasta into my mouth.
"That she's really cool, funny… and… pretty." He hesitated.
I rolled my eyes. "Of course they did."
He chuckled and scooted closer to me.
'Oh God… He's coming onto me again… What am I doing?' I thought to myself. '
Go with it!' A little devilish voice in my head shouted.
He started staring at me.
"What are you staring at?" I asked in a high pitched voice. Too high for my liking.
"You're really cute when you eat." He smiled.
I smiled too and giggled nervously, so I took a sip of my drink.
Jacob smiled again and put his hand on mine.
'Ohhh, craaaaap! Just go with it Bella.' I told my self. 'He's your best friend… He'll understand if you turn him down again. Wait… Again… AWH MAN!' I yelled at myself. I looked down, trying to hide my nervous face.
"What's wrong Bells?" Jake asked.
I turned to look at him and he had a creased line between his eyebrows.
"Oh… I-I'm… Nothing." I stuttered.
Jacob didn't take it. Dang it.
"Seriously. You can tell me anything." He said reassuringly.
"I know… I-I just don't think you'd want to h-hear." I stuttered again.
He sat up straight and crossed his arms across his chest.
"I'm serious." He said.
I sighed in defeat. "I've just been… thinking."
He stiffened a bit. "About what?" He asked softly.
"You… Me… Stuff." I said going red.
Jacob narrowed his eyes. "What sort of stuff?"
"To be completely honest… I don't really know. Just about how much of an amazing person you are, and I really don't deserve you as I friend." I said with honesty.
Jake then slumped over and before I knew it, I was sitting on his lap.
"Bella. I'm not special. And… I don't deserve you. You're too good of a friend for me. If anyone should feel out of place. It should be me." He said looking into my eyes.
I felt so bad for him. He thinks everything is his fault. I couldn't stand it any longer. This guilt. It was killing me, because it was killing him.
"Jake…" I said softly, putting a finger to his lip. "It's nothing to do with you. You're amazing. And don't feel bad about it. It's a good thing. Look… I care about you Jake. But please… Don't feel guilty…" I said looking at him.
'Please don't let him take it the wrong way, please don't let him take it the wrong way...' I kept repeating in my head.
Jacob looked down and my heart suddenly dropped. I don't know what has been going on with my hormones these days.
He looked back up at me with his gorgeous brown eyes and put his forehead against mine.
My heart panged with his sudden movement.
Then I saw his still-guilty face.
'Screw my hormones.' I then thought.
I wrapped my arms around him and put my head to his warm chest. Listening to his heartbeat. We both needed each other, and if that was the case, then I could handle it. I love my personal sun, and I'm not ashamed about it.
Jake wrapped his arms around my waist and took a deep breath.
"Bella..." He said after a long silence.
"Mhmm?" I asked taking my head off his chest and looking up at him.
"Can I ask you something?" He asked looking down.
"Of course." I said quietly.
"What would you do if I told you I loved you?" He asked embarrassed.
I gave a small smile. "It depends..."
"On what?" He asked, looking me in the eyes.
"Tell me." I said simply.
There was a small spark in his eyes and he went red.
"Bella Swan... I love you. And always have." He said looking me in the eyes.
I curved my lips and looked down.
When I looked up again, my heart dropped into my stomach when I saw Jake's face.
"Y'know what Jacob..." I started. He looked at me again.
I hugged myself to him and put my mouth to his ear. "I love you too." I whispered.
Jacob shuddered underneath me and gently pulled me pack to look at my face again.
"Really?" He said eagerly.
I smiled a little and looked up at him from under my lashes. "Really."
Another spark went through Jacob's eyes.
We stared at each other and Jake slowly started to move in...
It wasn't hard to close the space between us, since I was on his lap. But my eyes widened when his closed.
I didn't move, but I let him get to me.
His lips met mine... My eyes widened even more and felt as if they were going to pop out of my head. And my heart sped up. A lot.
But Jake deepened the kiss and it made my heart melt. I slowly closed my eyes.
'WHAT? ! NO!' That weird little voice in my head screamed.
Jacob's lips were so warm and gentle. When he kissed me, it felt like I was back home in Arizona. My personal sun beating down on me. It was a hundred times better than Edward. And I didn't have to hold back. I smiled a little and wrapped my arms around Jake's neck and tangled my fingers in his short cropped hair.
He slid his down from my waist to my thighs and pulled me closer to him.
'WHAT ABOUT EDWARD? !' The voice yelled again.
I furrowed my eyebrows and continued kissing Jacob. My Jacob. I felt something spark inside my heart, and I have a pretty good feeling about what it was.
'Shut up conscience.' I thought.
When we came apart, there was a silence. Not awkward. But comfortable.
"Jake... That... Feeling. Something sparked inside of me. Was it...?"
"Yeah Bells. It definitley was. I just imprinted on you." He said proudly.
I rested my head against his warm chest and smiled again.
"So I'm now your imprint?" I asked, feeling excited for some reason.
"Yes Bella. You are my imprint. No one can break us apart now. We're together forever. My reason for living now is you." He said gently.
"I'm glad I'm your imprint." I said with pride.
"So am I." Jacob replied grinning.
"Um... Do imprints age?" I wondered aloud.
"Nope. Since someone imprints, they won't age. As long as I keep phasing, we'll never age. We'll live a happy and warm eternity. Not miserable and cold." He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes. "I love you Jake."
"I love you too Bells." He replied, obviously ecstatic.
I couldn't help but laugh. He acted like a ten-year-old who just got the best present in the world.
"I've thought about you and me being together ever since Ed- HE left. I want to be with you instead. We're better together. Like…" I started, but Jake finished.
"Like peanut butter and jelly." He said grinning.
I chuckled. "Exactly."
He kissed the top of my head. "We're perfect for each other Bella."
I smiled again. "You're my wolf man."
"And you're my clumsy, amazing, perfect and most beautiful Bella." He said quietly.
I smiled once again. "Come on. We better get going. What time is it?"
"Twelve in the morning." He said, checking his phone.
"Crap! We're dead!" I exclaimed, getting up.
"Calm down. I'll get you home soon." Jake replied, putting everything in the picnic basket.
"Hold this." He said handing me the basket.
He then scooped me up in his arms and started running towards the fire.
We got there in five minutes.
Jake set me down and I ran around like a head-less chicken looking for my sister.
"Hey Sam, where's my sister?" I asked.
He pointed behind him and I saw a big wolf, then Shannon lying up against it.
I ran over, and saw Shannon was sleeping.
"Hey Embry." I his head.
Embry looked up then at Shannon.
Jake then came running over and scooped Shannon up in his arms and ran to the car. I followed after him and called after me.
"Thanks guys! See you soon." I called.
"Bye Bella!" They called after me.
Jake strapped Shannon in the back and I jumped in the front and we sped off to Charlie's.
"Thanks Jake." I said.
"No problem. I'll bring her in." He replied.
"Umm... What if Charlie hears?" I asked.
"I'm a werewolf. Remember? I'll take you two through the window." He chuckled.
"Uhhh..." I couldn't think.
Before I could say anything, he kissed me and my heart sped.
"'Kay." I blushed when we came apart.
"Come on beautiful." Jake said lifting me out of the car with one arm.
He jumped up the tree and set me on the branch across from my window while he opened my window and jumped in.
He grabbed my arms and pulled me in. I hugged him until my feet touched the floor.
"Be right back." He said jumping out my window.
A couple minutes after, Jake came flying through my window with Shannon slumped over his shoulder.
"Where do you want me to put her?" Jake asked, sliding her into his arms.
"Just set her in my bed. She can lie with me tonight." I sighed, pushing my hair back.
Jacob nodded and put her in bed.
"Thanks Jake." I said again.
"No problem." He said turning towards me.
I hugged him and he lifted me off my feet and kissed me.
"I gotta' get back to the guys. I'll see you tomorrow." He whispered.
"Okay. Bye." I whispered back to him.
Jake jumped out my window and I got changed into my pyjamas and go in bed beside my sleeping little sister.
Then something very important dawned on me.
I've just been imprinted on.
Jacob's P.O.V
That night, when I left Bella's house, I ran back to the pack who were still at the fire.
When I got there, Quil bombarded me with questions.
"So how'd it go lovebird?" He asked with a sly grin on his face.
"I don't have to tell you." I growled, pushing past him.
"Aww come on man! Why not?" He asked, he was drunk... Again.
"'Cause it's my life. Now go away and stop bugging me." I snarled.
"Fine!" He pouted and stumbled back to the gang.
I then called to the gang. "Guys, I'm heading home. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright. See ya Jacob!" They called.
I hopped in my Rabbit and drove home.
When I got in, I went straight to bed and fell asleep instantly, dreaming about my beautiful Bella.
