Chapter theme song: Hello Hello

JPOV

I woke up to my phone beeping; I had an unread text message.

I flipped my phone to see it was from Bella. My heart just sunk when I saw the name, I wasn't expecting her to text me so soon.

I'm ready to talk. Just not ready for that commitment.

I'm sorry. I don't want to talk to you right now, though.

Please give me time,

-B

I read over the text over and over again. I guess this was our first break up. I was hurt, but that wasn't anything new.

I grunted and ran my fingers through my hair.

I really needed a shower.

"UGH!" I shouted.

"Son, are you up? It's after noon." What? Did he just say after noon!?

I opened my door and saw the hallway clock said 1 in the afternoon.

When did she send me that text then?

"Yeah, I'm up." My eyes still had sleep sand in them, I felt like crap.

"You look rough son, how is everything?" Billy seemed deeply concerned.

"Whatever." I grumbled as I headed to take a shower.

After the shower-

What was I going to do today now?

Normally all my time was taken up with Bella.

I haven't hung out with the guys lately, maybe I could give mike or Erick a call, and they'll know what to do.

Ring, ring, ring, "Hello?" Mike answered gruffly.

"Mike, its Jake, listen I really need to talk with you." I said wearily.

"Dude! You sound like a tractor trailer ran into you, what happened?"

"Um, I and Bella are kind of…"

"What! No, I know you're not saying… oh dude. This really sucks man! How? You two were inseparable!" I wanted to break down right there.

"We had a little fight, remember Charles party two years ago? Well remember I got trashed… long story short I left a box of condoms in Bella's nightstand and her dad found them. We fought in her room and she slapped my face and we said a few harsh words to each other."

Mike whistled. "Yeah, man that party was off the hook! Except the whole fighting now."

I agreed. "I don't think it was the condoms Bella's weary about. I think it's something else she's not telling me. She sent me a text this morning, or sometime."

I grabbed a shirt out of drawer; I forgot I still only had jeans on.

"What did she say in it?"

"She said that she's ready to talk, but doesn't want to talk to me and that she's sorry."

When I thought about it, I was confused. She wasn't making any sense.

"Dude, whaattt? That's confusing, she's ready to talk, but not to you? How bad was this fight? You know the whole school will be talking about this." I suddenly thought about how I was part of the 'popular' group and so was Bells.

"Crap. You're right."

"Aren't I always right?" Mike was just so conceited.

"Alright Mike, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Bye, and only if Bella doesn't completely ruin your life at school."

I hung up, what did he mean 'ruin my life at school'?

-Later at night, getting ready for bed-

I was in bed watching TV when my phone started beeping again.

The screen said: one unread text message from: Bells

Please don't come by my house to drive me to school, I'll drive myself.

And I'll be better off just not talking to you for a while.

I'm sorry for the things I said, I know I can't take the words back.

I'm also sorry for slapping you across your face, you didn't deserve that.

-B

Well, I wasn't planning on driving her to school; she's so stubborn she'd never leave the house knowing I'm outside.

It was 10 o' clock so I figured I'd go to sleep.

I tossed and turned all night, this wasn't helping me any.

BPOV (next morning)

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

My alarm was ringing in my ears.

"AH! I'm up!" I slapped the button to turn off the signal I slammed my wrist into the clock.

"OW!" That was going to hurt and leave a mark.

Today was Monday, I had dance practice. Great…

I didn't get any sleep at all last night.

I kept having nightmares, and was up late studying for tests.

This fight wasn't healthy for me.

I wondered how Jake was dealing with this.

He never did reply to my texts, I wouldn't blame him.

I don't even know what I want. I want to have my space and be alone but I also miss his presence and warmth around me.

I threw on a pair of old ripped blue jeans and converse.

I found a pocket T-shirt and a zip up jacket.

It was spring but still had a crisp breeze in the air.

When I saw my hair in the bathroom mirror I wanted to yank it all out. It looked like a hay stack.

I ran my brush over and over again through my mane until it was reasonable. I decided on a high pony, since I had practice after school.

At 6: 30 I hopped in my SUV and was heading for school.

I made a plan; I would try to avoid any contact or path with Jake. I wouldn't look at him, or speak to him, not even acknowledge him.

He was gone, as if he never existed.

Oh, but those brown beauties of eyes he has, and his tan, steamy hot body, and his hair!

Get a grip of yourself Bella!

You're not his anymore, I'm without him.

My heart pained, I knew I wouldn't last more than 3 days without him. But, was he already done with me?

Had I blown it with my insecurities?

I knew I should have talked to him about my insecurities.

I had trust issues after the party, I never talked about what happened with Jake, we agreed to never bring it up, or think about it. I totally blew that promise.

Way to go Bella!

Oh, no.

I saw him; walking to the lockers hallway.

I was parked in my normal spot.

Mike, Erick, John, Brandon and some other soccer players were walking around him.

"Bella! Get out of the car before we're late!" My attention was to Jess.

Thank god I had her.

-Lunch break-

Today seemed to drag on; I probably did terrible on the quizzes and test I had.

I had my tray full of food when in the corner of my eye Jake was walking in my direction.

SHOOT!

Was he coming to talk to me?

Wait, I didn't want to talk to him, he wouldn't waste time talking to me, would he?

I stopped breathing as he made a turn and disappeared.

"I heard, spill!" Jess interrupted.

"wh-hatt?" I was out of it.

"You and Jake! The whole school knows! Why?"

"Why, WHAT?" I demanded.

"Why did it end?" she was so nosey!

"It's a long story." Yeah, great excuse bella!

"I think we have time." Here goes nothing…

I told Jess about EVERYTHING. About my jealousy, trust issues, about why we were fighting, she sat there and agreed with me and held me to make me feel better.

"I'm so sorry Bella. I'm sure you two will be an item by the end of this week, speaking of which is your birthday girl!"

"Oh, yeah. I was thinking about bowling. We could pig out and burn calories while bowling." Jess screamed.

"Great idea! And it's a chance to get out there!"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Bella, you only dated Jake, and now that you're not, it's a chance to see other guys." My heart dropped to my stomach.

Did I want to see other guys?

The thought had never crossed my mind.

I never thought about being with someone else.

I always pictured being with Jake, till death do us part.

"Yeah, sure." I said

What did I just do?

RING! RING! The bell startled me.

I watched as Jake got up from his jock table and… looked at me.

Our eyes locked each other. For a brief moment I wanted to run over to him and just have him holding me.

I got butterflies in my stomach, until he turned around and walked off.

He looked away quickly and made his way to his classes.

What happened to us?

An announcement came on, "Students this is just a reminder that next week you will be testing and focusing on what you want to do with your futures. This is for seniors only. Please report to the gym on Tuesday after lunch as we will have some college advisors speaking and passing out brochures. Thank you and have a great day." Mr. McKinley clicked off the button.

Jake had never told me what his dream was to be…

"Students this is just a reminder that next week you will be testing and focusing on what you want to do with your futures. This is for seniors only. Please report to the gym on Tuesday after lunch as we will have some college advisors speaking and passing out brochures. Thank you and have a great day."

"Aw! Man, this is going to be good! I'm going to be a professional football playing, chick magnet scorer!" Mike shouted after our principal made the announcement.

"Dude, just remember… you've got to get in before you play." I stated.

I never did tell Bells what my true dream was to be.

She would have guessed something like soccer, or football even baseball; some kind of athletic.

But, my dream job was definitely not something like that.

"Ok class, now that I'm back from the meeting let's begin our class, shall we?" Mr. Jones cheered.

Ick, I was in math class, I never really did enjoy all the numbers and computing it took just to answer one simple self explanatory problem.

This was going to be a long and slow moving class.

-Parking lot-

I was about to get into my SUV when I heard Jessica call my name.

"JAKE JAKE! Wait up! I… I have something to tell you!" I looked at her confused.

"Go ahead…"

"She wants you!" She blurted out too fast for me to comprehend.

"Who?"

"Bella!" She smiled. "She WANTS you back! It's so obvious. I saw the way she looked at you at lunch! And when I brought up the subject of dating someone else she totally just went into cardiac arrest!"

Did Jessica just use a big word?

"That's… that's just great! I should go call-" My face went flat.

"Do what? You've got to do what Jake?" Jessica seemed annoyed.

She didn't want me to call her.

"I can't.."

"Can't… or you won't?" Jessica giggled.

"Bella texted me saying she didn't want me to drive her, or contact her and that she's ready to talk, but not with me?"

"I'm confused Jake! And I'm a girl. She's just a little too complicated but you better go chase her. I heard Donny Bearings has been checking out her status lately…" Jessica strutted down to her Mercedes convertible and spun off.

She was right, I didn't have much time left before she probably will be with someone better. I couldn't think about not being with her.

I had a plan, and it better work!

-Later that night-

I had everything I needed to make my plan, hopefully work.

I finished up buttoning up my shirt and tied my converse on my feet.

I walked off to Bells' house where I hoped and prayed she was at.

I wounded my way up to her front porch steps.

The kitchen lights were off which meant Charlie was well fed and probably watching the basketball game tonight.

I pressed the button for the doorbell and stepped back.

Bella answered the door.

"What do you want Jake? I'm kind of busy here, do you not know the meaning of 'it's 9 at night and I'm studying for a test and doing homework'?"

She looked pissed off. "It's past 8, you're finished with your work, your more than likely reading a book or washing dishes or watching a game with Charlie." Bella gave me a flabbergasted look.

"Oh, and what! Are you suddenly a stalker who can't get over the fact we had one little argument and maybe are giving each other some freaking space!" By now she was raising her voice.

"I know you Bella, face it." I answered pleased with myself.

"You know NOTHING about me Jacob Black. Now, Goodnight. And don't come back, please." Right as she was sliding her fingers around the copper doorknob I spoke.

"Hives," I spoke. She turned around. "What?" I smiled, I got her.

"You got hived 2 summers ago. At Angela's sweet 15. Grapes make you break out and get hives all over your body." I wasn't done there.

"When you're mad, your nose turns a pink, but you're not made because if you had been, which you aren't your nose would be a bright flushed pink. When you feel sad you lean on whoever is closest to you for some support." She was defeated.

"You don't know anything about me Jake. You don't."

Ah, but I do, and I will prove her wrong.

"Your mother." Bella's eyes were dilated, they turned into a soft caramel. Her eyes started to water.

"You worry about her. You worry about her leaving you. You miss her. When you have dreams about her you'll hum a lullaby and moan and will even cry in your sleep. You get nervous when she travels with Phil, afraid something may happen to her and you'll never get a chance to say goodbye." Tears were running down her warm cheeks, her heart was busting out of her chest.

"How do you know?" She said trying to sound tough.

"Because I love you."

"You go around trying to be strong for others but will rarely just sit down and cry. You never just let your emotions run freely, you keep them bundled up in you and will release them at bad times. But when your mother calls you, there's not a single light in Times Square that could ever out shine your smile you get."

I sat down on the swing bench and Bella pounded into my lap and buried her head deep into my arm pit. She wrapped her petite arms around my waist and her legs dangled with mine.

"Oh, Jake!" She sobbed into my shirt. I combed my fingers in her hair. It felt shiny and silky smooth like a baby's bottom.

"I've missed you more than anything. I haven't slept since the fight. I didn't get one full hour of sleep. I stayed up all night hoping you'd come over and climb up to my room and save me. And when you didn't come I lost faith. I sent horrible texts and tried to avoid you in school. But when you looked at me at lunch and our eyes made contact I wanted to walk over to you and kiss you like I'd never see you again!" I smiled happy that she said that.

"I've miss you too."

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too sweetheart, I love you too" I whispered back to match her tone.

"Why are we whispering?" She giggled.

I shook my head as I leaned it on her head.

I kissed her forehead.

Bella lifted her head and tilted it so she could get easy access to my mouth.

Our lips brushed against each other and two worlds collided.

As long as I had her, I didn't care about anything else, but her.

Well, here is a chapter, just to basically get it out about how they DO get back together.

Career week, football tryouts, college coming in only 6 months or so, Bella's birthday… it's going to be a busy next few months.

I promise to fill the upcoming chapters with twists and unexpected things, atleast I WILL try!

I will update tomorrow also!

4 more REVEIWS for the new chapter to come up, let's try to reach over 20.

Tell all your frenss about my story, it would mean the world to me!
