A/N: Okay, here's the chapter where Bella gets to spend the days with Jacob. I only did one day because that was the most "eventful" of the days. Sorry this took so long to update. But I'm adding another chapter after this. :)


A Lost Bet

Jacob's Reward

Bella's POV

Edward bet against Alice, that Jacob's going to win against Jasper in a motorcycle race. Of course, Alice agreed, thinking she was going to win. And the only way we could have gotten Jacob to agree was if I got to spend a couple of days with him. So, Alice lost and here I am, at the border waiting for Jacob to show. Edward is sitting beside me gripping the steering wheel.

"I'm sorry, love." He says and I stare at him.

"It's okay. I agreed to it too." Part of me is scared to see Jacob, especially since I'm going to get married in a week. He still doesn't know about my wedding date. And I don't know if I'll be able to say goodbye to him, for good. Jacobs car comes in to view. Edward winces, hearing Jacob's thoughts I assume. "Six hours, come and get me okay?"

He nods. "Sure thing, love. I'll be waiting." I smile and give a quick kiss on his cheek before I get out of the car. Jacob waits outside of his car with a huge smile across his face. Part of me wants to wipe that smile off of it, but the other part wants me to hug him and never let go. Of course, I'm going to do none of it while in front of my fiancé.

"HEY BELLS!" Jacob yells as I cross the border. He runs over to me and gives me a giant hug. Well, there goes not hugging him in front of Edward.

"Jake!" I yell as I hear Edward's Volvo pull away. "That's not very nice."

"Sorry, I just get too excited. Ready to spend the first day with me?" Jake asks all puppy-dog like. I smile and nod.

"Of course I am."

"Great. Because I have the whole day planned out." He says smiling even bigger. I swear something's going to crack.

"Okay.. What are we going to do?"

"Sh. It's a surprise." I groan at the word surprise. I hate surprises, so why is he doing this to me? He knows I hate it just as much as Edward knows.

"I know, I know, but you'll like it. Don't worry." He responds to my groan. He pulls up to his house and in to the garage, where I see the two motorcycles. "We're going to ride."

"What?"

"Don't worry, I still have your 'attire' your leech gave you." He says as he gets out of the car. I jump out too, and follow him to the other side of the garage. He takes out my helmet, jacket, and other stuff that Edward gave me that one time when I brought the motorcycle back to Jacob's. "So, you ready?"

I nod, as I put on the "attire" as Jacob calls it. We walk over to the bikes and I can feel my adrenaline pump again. I hope on to mine after Jacob kick-starts his.

"Do you remember how to start it up?" I nod and kick-start my bike. Everything seems to be natural now. I press down on the clutch as I squeeze the "grenade handle". "Ready?"

"Yes Jake, I do remember how to ride a bike." I scoff. He laughs and takes off. I slowly release the grenade handle and I feel my bike surge forward. The sound of the wind buzzing by my head sounds like whenever I was on Edwards back as he runs. I want to close my eyes, but I shouldn't because I'd most likely crash. I follow Jacob out on to the street. He guides me all the way to the beach. I look around the beach as we walk in the sand.

"So, how have you been Bells?" Jacob asks innocently.

"Well, pretty busy every now and then. Edward had to work lately."

"Leech-boy works?"

"Edward has to work at Thriftway due to a lost bet against Alice. The race you won was his little 'revenge'." Jacob laughs.

"So bloodsuckers do have fun?" I grimace at his names for my future family. "Sorry, Bells, I forgot. I'll be good now, I promise."

"Okay. Yeah, they do have fun. In more ways than you will ever know." I say smiling, thinking about the truth or dare games they play. The wind blows my hair in front of my face. I take my left hand and tuck the loose strands behind my ear. I hear Jacob gasp. I look over at his face, and he looks like he's angry. Then I look down at my hand and notice what he saw. My ring.

"So, it's official then." He says cooly. I stare at him for a few seconds.

"Yeah... next week."

"I know." Jacob looks down at my feet.

"What? How?"

"Your leech sent me an invite. But I didn't think it was true until just now." Jacob starts to shake. I put my hand on his arm.

"Calm down Jake. Please?" His shaking starts to slow down. "What do you mean Edward sent you an invitation?"

"You don't know?"

"Of course I don't why else would I be asking you that question!" I feel my temper start to rise. I can't believe Edward would go behind my back and sent out that invitation to Jacob when I told him not to! Oh he's got a lot of explaining to do when I get back.

"A few weeks ago I got your invitation to the wedding. Along with a little letter... oh, oops." He says chuckling. "He told me not to tell you he did that. I guess he said that if he was in my place he'd like to have a choice on whether or not he could go."

"Oh." I my eyes fall to the ground. That was his argument before, but I never really understood what he meant. "So, are you going to go?"

"I don't think I should." He stares off in to the distance. I grab his hand, without thinking.

"Please? I want everyone to be there. Even you."

"Then why didn't you send me the invite?"

"Because I thought it was going to be harder for you. And me." I say the last part quietly.

"For you?"

"To say goodbye..." He tenses up and takes a seat on the sand. I follow him, but sit a couple inches away from him.

"For good, right? You're going to become a le- vampire?"

"It's my only choice Jake, you have to understand."

"No! You can run away with me! You don't have to become a cold one. You can live with me, and we'll have children and we'll grow old together." I shake my head, blocking those images from my mind.

"No, Jake, I can't. I can't live with out him. As much as he says that he could, I know he can't either. You don't understand the extent of our relationship Jacob. It's not love, it's... destiny." My eyes grow big when I say the last part. He stares at me and shakes his head.

"I'm not going to go Bella. I'm sorry, I know you want me to. But I can't. I can't watch you marry that leech and become one of them. I can't watch you die."

"It's not like I'm getting changed right then and there Jacob!" I spit out.

"I know, but I know you're going to. I promise I won't let Charlie know what really happened when you "die"." He stares at me. I hold back the tears that are starting to form.

"Thanks." I choke out. Jacob frowns.

"I'm making you cry. God dammit! I can't ever do one thing without hurting you!" I place a hand on his arm.

"Stop." It's the only thing that can come out at this moment. Jacob looks in to my tear filled eyes and he gives me a massive hug, but thankfully it's not bone-crushing. I laugh hysterically on his shoulder. "I can't believe I'm doing this."

"Getting cold feet?"

"NO! I mean I can't believe I'm crying on your shoulder." Jacob sighs and he rubs my back comfortingly.

"It's okay. I'm here Bella, I'll be your best friend..."

"Really? Even when I'm a vampire?"

"I don't know." I push Jacob away. "Oh Bells, don't be like that! You know how the pack is!" I nod.

"But if you can't be my friend when I'm a vampire... then how true of a friend are you?"

"That's not fair!"

"Jacob Black. Didn't anyone tell you? LIFE ISN'T FREAKING FAIR!" I blow up. I push myself up and walk towards my motorcycle. I hate to leave Jacob like this, but we still have tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow is going to be better, now that the wedding thing is out of the way. I hear Jacob run after me, but I just throw my helmet on and hop on to the bike. I quickly kick-start the bike and take off. I hear Jacob's bike start up and he's coming up behind me. I turn my head to the side to see Jacob telling me to pull over.

I accelerate quicker and take a quick drive around the curb. Jacob curses and slows down. I think I'm near the border, it should only be a matter of seconds before Alice sees me leaving and Edward will be there to meet me. I can feel the tears fall down my cheeks. My vision starts to blur, so I have to pull over now. I hear the soft whir of Edwards Volvo. "Bella!" His cold arms wrap around me and lift me up. He sets me in the passenger seat and takes off my helmet. He quickly runs in to the driver seat and drives off.

"I'm sorry, love."

"I hope it goes better tomorrow..."

"You still want to do tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I owe him that." Edward nods and wipes away the tear drops from my cheeks.

"Thanks for coming." I say softly.

"I told you I'd be there..." Edward say as he brings me closer to him. I smile and place my head on his chest. Let's hope tomorrow will be better.
