Thanks so much to all the people that reviewed and added me to favourites and other stuff. I didn't expect so many people to like my story. I actually didnt expect that many people to read my story.

Chapter 2 - Jacob

I was walking on the beach with Jacob. We had been dating for a while now. He's so sweet. The sun was setting and it looked so beautiful.
"Isn't it such a wonderful day?" Jacob asked me suddenly.
"Yeah, it is." I said smiling up at him. He suddenly turned me so that I was facing towards the ocean and he was facing me.
"Bella," he started looking me in the eyes.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I love you so much." He said.
"I love you too." I told him smiling.
He leaned in and kissed me. It was a nice long passionate kiss. It was filled with so much love. After a while we pulled back both needing some air. We stared into each others eyes and then he looked over my head.
"Bella, I want to show you something. Look behind you." He said pointing behind me.
I turned around and looked at the sandy hill. I gasped as I saw a message written on the sand. It said; 'Bella, will you marry? Love Jacob'. I turned back around to find Jacob kneeling down on one knee with a sapphire ring in a box.
"Bella," he started. "I love you so much. I've loved you everyday since the day that I met you and I want to love you everyday for the rest of our lives so," he took a deep breathe, "will you marry me?" he asked.
I stared at him with wide eyes. I couldn't believe he was asking me to marry him. I was beyond surprised. I finally got out of my surprised state so that I could answer his question.
"Wow, um," I said not so sure how to answer him. "I'm sorry but," I started shaking my head. "No."
"Really?" he asked just as surprised that I would say no.
"Yeah." I told him biting my lip.
"Um, okay," he said and got up from his kneeling position. "Do you mind if I ask why?" he asked.
I looked at him hesitantly. He might not want to hear the truth but I might as well tell him.
"Well, for starters, your kind of immature." I told him honestly. "You don't act your age. When I talk to you its like I'm still in high school and not in college. Secondly you're not going to make it as a lawyer so I think you should just stop trying and I need to be with someone who can hold a decent job. And thirdly you remind me of my dead dog." I said sadly and sighed at the memory. "He died when I was a little kid. His name was Lucky. And no he wasn't very lucky since he died from a car accident."
"Oh, I'm so sorry about that." Jacob said as if forgetting all the insults I just gave him.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too." I said looking off into the distance. I shook my head to come back to the present. "Anyway, I don't really want to make things awkward so I don't think we should date anymore..." I suggested hesitantly. "We can still be friends though."
He looked sad. Very sad. "Having your girlfriend break up with you and say you can still be friends is like having your dog die and your mom saying you can keep the body." He said sullenly.
I gaped at him. Was he seriously going to get all mopey like this? See, this is exactly what I mean by immature. He was just a big baby.
"Okay, fine, whatever, we don't have to be friends anymore. Can you at least take me back to campus? You did drive me here, remember?" I asked.
He looked hesitant but sighed. "Sure. Let's go."
We walked back to his car in silence. The ride to campus was extremely awkward. No one said anything. I was extremely grateful when we got back to campus.
"Jacob?" I called out before getting out of the car.
"Yeah?" he replied with his voice breaking as if he was about to cry.
"I really am sorry." I said.
"Its okay." He said and I could tell he was fighting the urge to cry.
I quickly got out of the car and closed the door. I swear I heard him burst into tears as he drove away. I tried to ignore it and I walked up to my room.

So, what did you guys think of Jacob? Sorry if you thought the dog comment was too cheesy. I just couldn't resist.
How does Jacob turn out? Is he still an immature cry baby? Has he met someone new? Or does he still remind Bella of her dog? Review and I'll give you a sneak peek at future Jacob. Unless your an ananymous reviewer then I can't. And if you've disabled PM's then I also can't. Sorry.
Anyway, review and tell me what you think. If you review then I will update tomorrow.
