I used a vine to tie the ax to my back. I had to carry the wood since i left the bag at home.
I walked calmly to the big round tree in the middle of the forest.
He told me to meet him here at 4:00 PM but it was only 3:30 when I got there.
I wonder how Edward is doing.. Probably better than me...
I sat down and had my back against the tree. I closed my eyes and took a nap.
How IS Edward doing? Lets find out!
EDWARD'S POINT OF VIEW (POV)
I have been running for hours! Where can Bella be?
Suddenly I heard a twig break ahead of me so i jumped up a tree and followed the noise.
It was hard to make out the figure because it was pretty dark so i turned on my night vision and saw that it was Leah.
What is Leah doing here?! I jumped down and walked towards her.
"Leah..?" She stopped walking and slowly turned around.
"E-Edward?" She gulped and walked backwards slowly.
I just stood there for a few moments before opening my mouth. "What are you doing here Leah?"
She looked around to make sure no one was looking and came close to my face.
"I'm looking for Jacob. He jumped a cliff so I decided to just take the long way around and walk around the woods."
I looked at her shocked. I hope Jacobs OK... I cleared my throat.
"Um..alone?" I asked her. "My wimpy brothers Jared and Sam didn't want to come." She scoffed and leaned on a tree.
"What are you doing here?" I smiled nervously and rubbed the back of my head.
"Oh you know..just walking. I'm also looking for Bella." Leah looked up in shock.
"Why are you looking for Bella ?" I gulped and just shrugged.
"Why are you looking for Jacob?" I asked her. She stared into my eyes and after a while finally said,
"Jacob has been acting real weird lately. I know he isn't telling me everything and i'm going to find out what he is hiding."
I took 2 steps backwards and got ready to run but first i told her," Sometimes everyone needs to keep a secret without having to tell anyone."
I smiled and ran away in search for Bella. "Bella ran the other way!" She yelled at me.
I decided to listen to her and turn around and run the other way. After running for about another hour, I spotted Bella on the horizon.
I ran to her side and grabbed her arm. Bella looked at me with forgiving eyes and steered to a halt.
She looked at me and smiled. I turned my head and made a face of disgust then turned back to her and fake smiled.
"Bella..?" "Yes Edward?" I touched her cheek gently and said, "Can you keep a secret for me?"
She looked at me puzzled and then a single tear came out from her left eye.
She looked at the floor then sighed. "Is this about you loving Jacob?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes.
I shook my head yes. "I need you to keep it a secret for me ." She sighed and closed her eyes for a few minutes.
I was about to leave when she opened her eyes and smirked. "For what?"
I looked at her tilting my head sideways and said, "What?"
"I mean what will you do for me if i don't tell anyone about your love for Jacob?" She said smiling evily.
I just looked at her still confused. "I-I don't know..what do you want from me?"
She smiled and whispered in my ear.."Your love."
I quickly pushed her away and looked at her with disgust. "Never" I told her.
Then i turned and ran. I ran and ran until i knew i was safe from her.
I sighed and ran to the big tree in the middle of the forest. when i arrived, i was greeted my Jacob sleeping on the floor.
I smiled and watched him for a few minutes before i decided to wake him.
I sat down beside him and kissed his cheek. Slowly Jacob opened his eyes and looked at me.
"Did you find Bella?" Jacob asked me. "Yes she agreed to keep it a secret." I lied...
Jacob smiled and sighed. "So here we are all alone no one to judge us.."
"Yea.." I said looking at him. I leaned towards him and kissed him passionately. We broke the kiss after a few minutes to gasp for air.
Jacob smiled and stood up. "Let's get started on the tree house."
I smiled and took his hand and he pulled me up. "OK" I said and smiled.
Starting now, i knew it was going to be a brand new start for me and my beloved Jacob..
