The whole summer is almost over.
No word from Jacob. He kept true to his promise.
I still hurt, god I still hurt. But the Cullen's were my support system. Especially Alice and Edward. They are the best friends, anyone can ever have.
We graduated two months ago, and I've been at their house everyday since. Edward pulled some strings, and we are both going to the University of Alaska . Alice is keeping an eye out for the Volturi. The minute she sees that they are coming, I'll be changed.
I've been slowly packing my things since school ended. I didn't have much now, probably around the last box.
I finally was almost finished. The box was my Jacob box. It had pictures and gifts and such.
It held a lot of painful memories, so I'm keeping it in Charlie's attic.
I climbed to the top of the house, and I was walking away from where I placed the box, when I found a stack of pictures. There was a post-it note on top of the pile, which read: Bella and the kids.
I picked up the pile, and carried it down to my room.
Today was my last day in Forks. Edward and Emmett were coming by around three to pick me up.
I sat down on my bed, and looked at the first picture.
It was a picture of my little seven year old self, on the La Push beach.
I continued to look through them.
Charlie and I fishing. I looked really unhappy.
Me with Jacob's sisters.
Me, Jacob's sisters, and Jacob himself. He looked the same. Just shorter, and less muscles.
I looked at the time on my cell phone. I still had a while until, I had to leave. I scooped up my car keys, and ran to my truck.
I raced to La Push. I owed Jacob a proper goodbye.
When I reached the little red house, I had butterflies in my stomach.
I turned the ignition off, and stumbled out of the car.
When I reached the door, I shut my eyes, and I knocked three times. I heard small footsteps, and I opened my eyes.
The door swung open, and a girl with long black hair, not looking much older than me, was holding a spatula.
"Hi." She said exasperated.
"Hey. Um." I stuck out my hand. "I'm Bella."
She thought for a minute, and then she looked sad. "Oh, hi Bella." She smiled. "I'm sorry, I'm Anna." She shook my hand.
She let me in, and we went into Jacob's little kitchen. Eggs and bacon were cooking on the stove.
"So you aren't the jealous girlfriend type?" I asked.
She shook her head. "Not usually."
We both laughed.
"He's uh, sleeping." She paused. "I should go tell him you are here." She walked out of the kitchen. She was carrying a plate of food with her.
She returned. "He'll be here in a minute." She smiled. "He's scarfing down the food right now."
Typical Jacob.
Then loud footsteps, started coming down the hall. I froze, and braced myself for what was next.
They stopped, a few feet in front of me. I looked up and saw Jacob, staring at me.
"Bella?" He asked, as if I wasn't real.
"That's me." I faked a smile.
He enveloped me in a hug. He cut off my airways, and I couldn't breathe.
"She can't breathe!" Anna shouted between laughter.
He loosened his grip a little.
"I forgive you." I whispered in his ear.
He parted, and looked at Anna who nodded.
"Let's go take a walk."
We walked out of his small house, and walked into a nearby forest. We sat down on a log. There was a killing silence between us. So I decided to break it.
"She seems really nice. I approve." I smiled a little.
Jacob let out a loud laugh. "Well that's good. Yeah, she's- well she's wonderful."
"You love her?" I asked.
"Yeah. I love her." He looked at me. "I'm so sorry Bella."
"Jacob I said I forgave you."
"I know, but I still feel guilty." He shrugged his shoulders. I put my hand on them.
"Don't." I whispered.
He pulled my leg onto his lap, and slowly pulled up my jeans, revealing my scars.
I winced when I saw his face take them in.
"Will- Are they going to be there, you know like forever." He asked.
I nodded. "Yup."
"I can't believe I did that." He muttered to himself. I rolled my jeans back down, and let my leg down. He looked at me. "Bella, I know you didn't come here, just to say you forgive me."
I looked down at my hands. "No, I came to say goodbye."
"What?" He asked angrily. "You aren't- They aren't ch- you know?"
I shook my head. "No! Not yet, at least." He relaxed a little bit. "Edward and I are going to college in Alaska ."
His brows furrowed. "So you're with him now?" He asked.
"No. I mean friends, doesn't describe what we are, but we aren't exactly dating either."
He eyed me playfully. "Bella! You like him!" He teased.
I blushed. "Yes." I admitted. "And you already know that."
"I do." He agreed. "And he likes you, am I right?" I nodded. "Then what's the holdup?"
I bit my lip as I thought. "Well remember, when he left, and I had feelings for you, but I had to let go of Edward first. And when I was able to do that, I could love you. It's the same, but reversed."
"So you're waiting for when you don't love me?" He asked.
I shook my head. "Kind of, I can't really explain it. I'll always love you Jake."
"Can you tell me, before they change you?"
"Of course Jacob."
"You promise?"
I laughed. "Yes."
He stuck out his pinky. "Pinky promise?"
His pinky looked like a foot, compared to mine when I shook it. "Pinky promise." I smiled.
We stayed in a hug for a long time.
We walked back to his house, and I said goodbye to Anna, and then to Jacob.
I gave him a tight hug.
"Be safe." I whispered.
"Sure, sure."
I laughed. "I'm serious."
He smiled. "I am too. Oh, and let me know, when you fall in love with him."
I looked away, as blush took over my face.
"Bye Jacob."
"Bye Bella."
"Keep in touch, okay?"
He looked at me intently, "Always."
I went out the door, and went back to my truck. Eventually I pulled into my driveway, and Charlie was home already. I had to wipe away the few tears that fell down my face.
We sat in the living room, waiting for Edward.
Finally they came, and we packed my few things into the back of Emmett's jeep. Charlie gave me a big hug, and he had tears in his eyes.
"Oh, Bella."
"Dad, I'll call you, like everyday."
We said goodbye, and I crawled into the humongous car.
We got to the Cullens, and amazingly moved all my stuff into the back of Edward's Volvo.
Then we all said goodbye to the Cullens.
Alice was the most emotional. She kept hugging me after each person. I told her, that we would still see each other.
Then when Edward and I had to leave, Alice wrapped her arms around me.
Edward had to pyre her off of me, the whole family was laughing.
We got into the small Volvo, and pulled away from the little town of Forks , and towards our new life in Alaska .
After a couple of hours, in a comfortable silence, I spoke. "Edward. I haven't been fair to you."
He turned to me, and yet still drove perfectly. "About what?"
"I've been hurting about Jacob the whole time. And I should have let you in, but I didn't. Jacob, I love him but not like before. Not anymore." I turned my body to him. "Edward,"I felt a thrill in my body as I said his name. "I love you."
He parked the car on the side of the road. Then he smashed his cold lips to mine.
After a few minutes we broke the embrace.
We both smiled, "Bella I've always loved you, and I'll continue loving you for eternity." He whispered against my lips.
"Well good. Just don't leave ever again. I don't think- No, I know I can't survive it next time." I scolded. We pulled away.
He looked sincere. "I won't. I promise." Our lips met again. He leaned away. This is the part I hate about us.
"What about when I'm changed?"
"I'll be Edward, and you'll be Bella just like before. You'll just be less breakable." He smiled.
"You'll promise you'll change me soon?"
"You know my conditions." He smiled.
I sighed. "Yes I do."
Then he pulled back onto the main road and started driving again.
I reached into my pocket and took out my phone. I scrolled through the few names in my adress book and clicked the person I was looking for. And typed:
I fell in love.
Then I sent it to Jacob.
I looked back at Edward and held his hand as we continued driving to our new life.
a/n: I love this ending so I hope you did too, it was important to end Jacob and Bella on a good note.
