Dear Diary,

I has been so long since Edward left me in the forest, not but a few feet from where I'm lying. I finally gave in and allowed myself to love Jacob. To tell the truth, I couldn't be happier. I'm not saying that I don't miss the Cullens, because I do. I just mean that thinking about them especially Edward doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't send pain through the gaping hole where my heart used to be. Jacob has done an incredible job of filling that hole for me. It's now a waterproof hole that no matter what, it will never leave me gasping in pain again. I know Jake will never hurt me.

I know, Edward was my first love and so there's always a part of me that will love him, but I'm finally able to love him the right way. With Jacob, I'm no longer comparing myself to him. I feel like we're equals, like I can be superman AND Lois Lane. We save each other equally with no lies between us. We share everything with each other. I couldn't be happier.

The wolf pack really is like a big family. They're the annoying, overprotective siblings I never had, but always wanted. And Sam and Emily are like our parents. It doesn't matter how close to our age they are, whenever they speak, it's with years of knowledge and experience. Emily reminds me of Alice and feels the void she left behind, she makes me feel less lonely when Jake's not around. She doesn't force me to play dress up or go shopping with her, instead we can lounge around the house and watch movies and bake for our boys. I love them so much.

Love,

Bella

*****End Flashback*****

It was Monday morning, and our first day of school back at Forks High. Jake didn't come back last night, I know that he's gotten back into the groove of things and running patrols, but I did think he would be home so we could go together. I was nervous excited, it was my first day back at my one true home, but why is Jacob not here? He should be here by now…Just then I heard the door close with a thud downstairs.

"Bells, I'm home," he shouted up to me, "I'm sorry I was gone so long, what would you like for breakfast?"

"mountain lion you idiot," I rolled my eyes, "You know I don't eat!"

"Sorry hon, I forgot after hanging out with the guys all night," He gave me his big wolfy grin.

"It's okay. I'm going to get ready anyways."

I hopped in the shower, making the water as hot as possible in an attempt to calm my nerves. This year I wouldn't be driving an ancient truck to school, I'd be driving my new cobalt blue mustang with white interior leather. It was my baby, I didn't even allow Jacob to drive it. A few years back I finally discovered the love for driving really fast cars. It wasn't about showing off or being reckless as I'd once believed, it was really because after being able to run so fast, it gets boring driving the speed limit, I could walk faster than that.

I'd sufficiently stolen all of the hot water from Jacob, but honestly, he didn't need it. His temperature was high enough that he was his own personal space heater, he ran a constant 104.3 degrees and hasn't gotten cold since he became the wolf he is. When Jacob and I sit next to each other we almost become a normal human temperature. We contradict ourselves.

Jake wasn't quite ready for school by the time I was ready to go so I told him I'd meet him there, with both of our schedules in hand.

I sped the 5 blocks to Forks high school in 3 seconds flat, drifting around the corner into the parking lot. This is why I like to arrive early, it makes people know I'm punctual and I get to drive a little more reckless without worrying about the witnesses or human bystanders.

"Hello dear," the old woman with fake eyelashes and dark red hair said from behind the receptionist desk, "what can I do for you today?" She plastered a fake smile on her face that immediately reminded me of Jessica Stanley.

She smelled of cigarette smoke and spearmint gum whenever she opened her mouth, The stench was revolting. "I'm Isabella Dwyer, I'm here to pick up mine and Jacob Black's schedules," I fixed a convincing smile to my face.

She nodded before printing them from her computer system, "Here you go Isabella, I hope you two like it here," She smiled at me again.

"I'm sure we will," I replied as I left the office as quickly as possible.

When I turned around the parking lot was already filling up with cars. Jacob's of course was nowhere to be seen, but a glint of silver caught my eye.

Just then Jacob pulled into the parking space next to my mustang. All thoughts of the mysterious silver car lost from my thoughts as he pulled me into a mind shattering kiss. "Here's your new schedule," I told him with another kiss on his cheek.

"Thanks Bells, I would've never made it to class on time if you didn't get here before me," He winked. Oh, how I love this man.

I'd finally made it through most of my classes, there were weird looks and glances all day. I knew something was up when I was on my way to the cafeteria and heard a girl whisper, "Do you think they're related?" or another girl, "They have to be, they're all so breathtakingly gorgeous!"

At that point I texted Jacob and told him I was going to the car to listen to music instead of using the time allowing people to ogle me. He didn't even text me back.

To be honest, I needed this time to my thoughts, all of them were consumed with Edward, with them. I can't deny that all of the things around here remind me of them. The shiny silver Volvo in the corner of the parking lot was reminder enough. I couldn't keep the memories from swirling around and muddling everything else. I felt vulnerable again, human and that's what scared me the most. I'd never let anyone in since Jake, I couldn't trust anyone.

When the bell rang signaling lunch had ended I hurried to my locker before biology hoping to run into Jake there since he still hadn't texted me back.

There he was with a girl staring at her all gooie eyed, in a look that meant complete love and devotion. A look he'd never really given me. Rage bubbled to the surface of my thoughts. I needed him! He promised he would never hurt me! He had told me numerous times that if he hadn't imprinted yet then it wasn't going to happen!

…He said we would be forever, but forever is never long enough.

I couldn't let this affect me right now, I still had to grab my book and make it to biology in time, a feat not entirely impossible, but doing it human speed was a challenge. I shoved Jake into the lockers to let him feel my distaste, earning me a glare from his new girl.

Whatever, I growled lowly back. Who cares about him now, I was only a fling to him, I'd been broken before, and I think that I could handle it again, no matter how hard it was going to be for me.

I slid into my seat in biology not even paying attention to my surroundings until I heard a familiar throat clear…I looked up into the swirling topaz pools from so long ago, the eyes that burned into me and I would never be able to forget.

"Bella?"

***AN-Hey everyone! It appears that I need to include Edward more since the last chapter had just a smidgen and we almost beat the record for most reviews in a single chapter for this story…the record is 9 for chapter 2, CAN WE BEAT IT?! I think so ;) Leave me a review please! See you in 7-10 days!

P.S. Next chapter will be all in Edward POV!
