Chapter 6: Seasons change but people don't
August 6th. 10:00 AM
(Bella's POV)
"So?" I said, as cold as I could manage. I knew my laughter was seconds away.
"B...Bella?" Edward stammered his velvety voice high with confusion.
"You shouldn't have said that. That was so mean Edward." I hissed. Oh God, please let me do this at least one more minute.
"Sorry. Bella, is it you? I can't smell you. Who is this?" Okay now he was confused.
It worked.
"Edward!" I squealed, throwing myself at him. Surrender, sweet betrayal. I heard downstairs the booming laughter from everybody.
"You're busted, dear brother!" Alice yelled. He sighed and then chuckled.
"First, I think I'm crazy, and then I'm worried because I think you are mad at me, and then this? Wow!" He said, kissing the top of my head.
"Baby, seasons change but people don't." I whispered, closing my eyes, content.
He laughed, and then he scooped me into his arms laying me gently into the huge comfy golden bed.
He kissed me, passionately but soft. It was enough to make my head swim, and forget how I was supposed to breathe. He then smiled, trailing my neck with his lips, then my collarbone, my shoulder and up again; after I was gasping for air, he whispered in my ear "I love you, did you know?"
I took a few deep breaths and tried to get a decent answer for him.
"I think... I did. Did you know that I can't live without you and that I love you more than my own life?" I mumbled, burying my head in his chest.
"I think I did. But still, it's good to know." He murmured, while playing with a lock of my hair.
"It is." I agreed.
He held me there for what seemed like forever. My eyelids started to get too heavy for me to fight against them. I couldn't sleep well the night before. So, I suppose, I fell asleep.
"Jake?"
The huge red-brown wolf was, finally, making his way out of the cliff, and went to where I was standing. I just stared at him. I looked around to see if someone else was with us, but I saw nobody.
"Bella, you are close! Keep fighting, we are going to get through this sooner than you would ever expect!" Jacob, the boy, whispered his eyes were bright with excitement.
"Get through what?" I couldn't understand why he was so happy, so eager.
"You'll see." He winked.
I looked around. I was standing on the edge the cliff and Edward was with me, but he was not holding me, instead, he was kneeling down beside me, a pained and agonized expression on his angel-like face.
"Edward, what's wrong?" I demanded.
He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out of it.
And Jacob Black took my hand and led me back to the reservation, leaving Edward on the floor with his hand reached out towards me. The weirdest part was that I was not resisting. I wanted to go, and leave Edward there.
"Bella, I love you, I'm sorry." Were the last words I heard from my angel.
2:00 PM
(Edward's POV)
"Okay. I'll be back before you even have time to miss me" She said.
"Are you back, already?" I mumbled.
"Very funny." She stuck her tongue out at me.
"Very mature." I teased.
She quickly pecked me on the lips and headed to the door.
I pouted.
"Is that all I'm getting for a day without you?"
"Oh look! Who is the pouter now?" She laughed, but threw herself at me and kissed me. I just held her. The way I wanted to hold her forever.
"Besides, it's just half a day, baby."
"Oh. Okay." I pulled the best puppy face I could manage.
"Awwww..! Edward, that's not fair! I haven't seen him in days."
"I know. Sorry. Go, I'll be fine. I'll be missing you, but I'll be fine. I think I'll go to Canada for a while. There's a great museum over there that I haven't seen yet. I'll go with anyone who wants to come with me. Besides, I trust you."
I murmured.
"Thank you, really." She pecked me. She then headed to the door.
"And..."
"Yes, baby?"
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive you there?"
She rolled her eyes "For the millionth time, no, love, I'll be fine. Believe me. I don't want you to pick me up either, I'll go straight home. I need to discuss some things with Charlie, and if he sees you, he won't accept what I will ask him to consider."
I sighed.
"I love you."
"And I love you."
2:13 PM
(Bella's POV)
I made my way to my truck, it was sunny, and so it was not good for Edward to go out. I sighed, and closed the door, then took my cell out and dialed his number.
"Hello?"
"Hey!"
"Bella! Is everything all right?" I could almost see the smile on his face.
"It is. Actually, I was wondering if I could go to the re…"
"YES! I mean" He cleared his throat "Sure, why not."
"I'll be there soon."
"Cool. See ya."
I hung up.
2:29 PM
As soon as I cut the engine, I heard a knock on my window. I jumped. I looked and who it was and relaxed.
"Sorry, Bells. It's just that it's so good to see you again."
"I know. It's good to see you too."
He lifted me out of my truck with one arm. He then hugged me in a bone-crushing bear hug. I gasped.
"Sorry."
Jacob and I went to the beach and sat at our tree for a while, none of us spoke. I was resting my forehead on his neck and he was playing with my hair.
"Jake?"
"Hmm..?"
"I've had these dreams..." I started
" 'Bout what?" He seemed interested.
"About you, actually" I mumbled.
"Oh… really? What is it that you dream about with me?" He seemed amused and confused.
"I've had two dreams this past month. I don't know why. One is you telling me that you are going to be with me forever because of a 'bond' and the other one was this morning of you telling me that I was close from making it, but I don't know what am I suppose to go for."
He was quiet for a while. Then he spoke "Well, I think that you, my dear Isabella, are delirious." He boomed. Then ruffled my hair and laughed.
I huffed.
"That's not fair, Jake! I don't even know why I'm having these dreams."
"Neither do I, honey" He sighed
Later that day, Jacob left me at Emily's and I stayed there for the rest of the day, while he went to patrol with Sam for a few hours. I sat on their couch, talking and laughing with Emily, and her little two year old baby girl, Danielle.
6:48 PM
(Bella's POV)
After being there for like two hours, my phone rang. I looked at the screen, and I couldn't recognize the number.
"Hello?"
"Bella? Hey! It's Mike"
"Um… hey, Mike! What's up?"
"Nothing... Uh, I was just wondering if you would like to come down to First Beach, here in La Push, we are having a party tonight. Of course Edward is invited too." The last part was not so eager, though.
"Well thank you. I'm here in La Push, also, with my friends but I don't know where Edward is. I think he's camping with his family, but I don't know where. I'll ask my friends if they would like to come, then I'll call Edward too, and I'll call you later, alright?"
"Sure, see ya! Try to convince them to come with you. All of them!"
"I will, thanks Mike. Bye!"
We hung up.
"Oh wow. So Newton can't accept that you're getting married, huh?" Jacob said, his head stuck out of the door frame.
"You can tell." I huffed.
He chuckled. "Hey beautiful." He said and went to sit by me on the couch.
"Hey Emmy!" He called.
"Hey Jake, dinner's almost ready"
"Thanks, Sam and the others are coming back in a few minutes"
"Okay" She said and continued back to work again.
"So, are you going?" He murmured, just for me to hear.
"Do you want to go?"
"Nah, I'd rather spend the rest of the day here with you, if you don't mind?"
"I don't. I'd rather be here, too."
"Cool." He said, and kissed my hair.
We talked and laughed for a few minutes. Sam arrived with Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Seth, Leah, Collin and Gabe. They all said hello to Emily and to us, and stared chatting. All of them except for Leah.
"Da-Dee!" Squealed Danielle. She ran towards her father.
"Hello, baby, how was your day?" He said, lifting her to his shoulders.
"Agwsom'! Mummy tuk me to zi park and I played a luuuuut! Then I had lunch and Jacky and Belly arrived. And I played a luuuuut with Belly! It gwas funny da-dee!"
"That's really good." He chuckled.
He then went to kiss Emily. After a few seconds we heard the front door slam.
"Leah?" Said Seth.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Embry said "Uh, dinner? The dog needs to be fed."
Everybody started laughing and the tension finally faded.
I helped Emily to finish the food and went to place it on the huge table like a buffet, after we had served our small plates and before the nine wolves literally landed on the chairs to make sure every single bit of the six pans of lasagna and four baskets of bread had disappeared.
I then decided to call Mike to tell him I was not going.
"Hey Mike!"
"Hey Bella! So, are you coming? A lot of students from Seattle and Port Angeles came here! This party is getting better and better!" He seemed to be... drunk?
"No, Mike. I'm just tired and my friends and I are all going to watch movies. We don't want to party, but you guys have fun."
"Oh... okay Bella, we will. I'll miss you baby, anyways." Okay, he was definitely drunk.
"Have fun, and sorry, Mike" I mumbled
"It's okay Bella. See you around." He murmured.
I hung up.
10:57 PM
(Jacob's POV)
We were now sitting on Billy's living room. We had been there talking and laughing, just the two of us.
Bella and I, just the way it should be.
I wonder why it's so hard for her to realize that she is in love with me the same way that I'm in love with her. She could be happier with me than with that leech of a 'boyfriend' she has. Ha!
She looked happy to being there with me, doing nothing but holding each other. We could be like that forever. She just had to ask.
"Jake, I should go home." She finally said, snapping me out from my thoughts.
"Okay." I said and stood up.
"What are you doing?" She demanded.
"This is me taking you home." I shrugged.
"Well, this is me asking you not to worry, and begging for you to go to sleep."
"Nope, I'm taking you ho…"
"Please... don't, Jake, for me. I can go home by myself, really." She pouted.
"Damn… fine! I just hate when you do that to manipulate me!"
She gasped.
"Me?" She put a hand in her chest "Manipulating you, Jacob Black?" Hooray for sarcasm!
"Yes, you Isabella Swan."
"Oh, okay. Yes, I do so what?" She threatened.
"So nothing." I chuckled. "Just go home, I don't want the leech to forbid you to come to the res ever again." I mumbled, defeated.
"Good boy. Bye Jake!" She pecked me on the cheek.
"Bye Bells, take care. Come back soon" I said, wrapping my arms around her waist and holding her close.
"I will. Sooner than you think expect."
"You better." I demanded
She climbed onto her truck, slammed the door closed and started the engine. She waved me goodbye. I waved her back, and watched her go, hoping more than anything in the world that the woman I was in love with, someday could ever be in my arms. And never go away.
Yup, the plot is coming in the next chapter. And you won't guess what is it mwahahahahha :D. You guys review and help me get more readers, and I'll update sooner :) please do! Thanks a lot!
