Chapter 18-Jacob Black
Bella
The pregnancy was going well.
Everyone thought it was Mike's.
But he wasn't here.
So I just let it go.
I was 8 months pregnant, and I looked like a freaking…UGH.
Alice squeezed my hand encouragingly.
They were all on vacation from college for December.
I smiled shyly.
We were going to discuss the pregnancy.
Teenagers were going to discuss the pregnancy with me.
It was really awkward.
I jumped into Edward's arms when I saw him.
He kissed me.
And I missed that…
I also needed to discuss something with him.
About my past.
Which I didn't really open up to anyone about.
We all said our greetings.
I truly loved these people.
"So what's the plan?"
"We still don't know…"
"It's going to be hard."
Everyone thought for awhile.
I glanced at Alice, we had a plan.
But Edward would not agree to it.
Stubborn ass.
"Alice, do we tell them?"
"Edward will be…Edward."
The plan we had come up with was for me and Edward to stop.
I would give birth to the baby and leave like nothing ever happened.
But no one wanted that though.
They wanted us to be happy.
"Bella did you ever love anyone before Edward?"
I was surprised that Jasper would ask something like this.
"Once."
They all stared at me.
"I was about 20."
They stared at me, wanting me to go on.
Flashback
I sat down on the grass, the light of the moon shining against my skin.
I loved its beauty.
The reason I was here was not a good one.
My mother forbid I ever meet Jacob Black again.
He was my best friend, my love.
But my mother wanted me to marry that vile Mike Newton.
He was nice but I did not feel the love I felt with Jacob for him.
But my mom did not care for kindness, for love.
She wanted the man I married to be rich.
And so from the second I started walking she pampered me, making my beauty stand out even more.
But right now my mother didn't know I was here.
She was in her room, dreaming of money.
I shook my head.
I snuck out every night to the big oak tree where Jacob would be waiting.
Sometimes he was late, and tonight was one of those nights.
My mother despised him.
From the moment I confessed my love for him.
I remembered the day we met.
I was with my mother when I caught his eyes staring at me.
And from that moment on I loved him.
I heard some twigs snap and smiled.
He was here.
"It's beautiful isn't it?"
"I wouldn't use the word beautiful with you sitting here in comparison."
I chuckled.
"I'm not that beautiful."
"You're much more." He whispered.
I pulled him in for a kiss.
And the kiss grew more urgent.
And we made love.
I loved him more than anything.
"Let's run away."
"I won't do that to you Bella. You need to marry Mike, you need to have a future. I can't give you anything."
"You already have." I whispered.
"I know. I have given you my heart, it always be yours."
"No, Jake, I'm pregnant."
His eye widened.
"Bella…your mother, she'll-"
"I don't care. She can't take this away from me."
He kissed me one more time.
The next I told my mother, she was furious.
"You will marry Mike Newton. That's final, it is what is best for you."
I cried.
When it was night I crawled out the door.
I ran to the oak tree but Jacob was not there.
He is late, I told myself.
I waited all night.
Until the sun came up.
He never came.
He was gone.
I went home and surrendered to my mother.
"Have sex with him, he'll need to think it's his baby."
I cried even more.
Mike was happy that I would marry him.
And I gave him myself.
I did not care anymore.
For I was his now.
Jacob Black never came back.

"So Tanya is Jacob's?"
"Yes…and she looks like none of us because of all her surgeries."
"He never came back?"
"No. No one ever found out what happened."
They all looked down.
My love life sucked, huh?
