Like every other morning before school, it was just me and Jacob on the beach sitting in the cool fine sand. There was no wind and no waves today. The water was so still that it looked like you could just walk across it without falling in.
"Bella. I need to talk to you about something important."
"Mmm." I mumbled as I got up from resting on his hot chest.
"That guy you were with. He's a-"
"A vampire, I know."
I snuggled my head back into his chest and closed my eyes.
"That's not all I needed to say." Jacob exclaimed and lifted my head so I was looking at him straight in the face.
"Who is he?"
"He is, um, my friend."
"I know your lying Bella."
"Am not."
"Your dating him. I see you with him everyday after school." He said as he stood up and walked towards the shoreline and looked out to the horizon. "I'm not stupid."
"Jacob, it's not what you think."
"What do you mean by that?" He scratched his head as he turned around to look at me. He crossed his arms.
"No."
"No what Bella?"
I started to cry. This is why I was dreading seeing Jacob today. I knew everything would just collapse and fall into my hands.
"I'm guessing this relationship is over."
"NO!" I cried and ran up to Jacob and held him tight. He shrugged me off.
"Bella. Your being selfish now. You can't have two boyfriends."
"I'll dump Edward!"
There was a pause. "Promise?"
"I- I- Yes!"
Jacob grinned and hugged me. My hands flopped to my sides. How was I going to dump Edward? What had I just done?
"Time for school."
I looked at the ground and we walked to the car and got in. The drive to school was silent. Jacob had the radio on and he was lip singing the lyrics to each song that was played. We finally arrived at school and I looked out the window. Angela spotted me getting out of the car.
"Bella!"
I looked over at her and smiled then turned back to look at Jacob. "Bye."
"Bye Bells." He kissed my forehead.
The time had come. Like every school day in chemistry class, there was always one empty seat left, and that was next to Edward. I took a deep breath and walked over to him. His face looked extra cheerful today. "Hi." I mumbled.
"Bella."
"Yes Edward." I replied as I set up my books for the class that was about to begin.
"I have something to ask you."
"Yes."
"Well, are you and Jacob... more than just friends? I've seen you two together quite a bit and it's making me concerned."
"Yes." What else was I supposed to say? I was supposed to dump Edward and this would be the easy way to do it. I mean, I didn't want to dump Edward but I promised Jacob. Shit. What am I saying? I love Edward.
"Well no actually. Um-" I paused to think about what I would say next. "We used to date. Now we are just really close."
"Okay that's good. I was getting worried."
I pulled a fake smile and started to write down the notes the teacher was writing on the board.
"Did you ditch him?" Jacob mentioned in the car on the way to the beach the next morning. It was a weekend but we decided it was nice weather to go to the beach for the day.
"Well…"
"You didn't did you?"
"No, not exactly." I looked in the opposite direction and out the window and read the signs of shops we passed by. When there were no more shops I looked back at Jacob.
Jacob looked upset and hurt. I stared at him and he kept looking at the road in front of us, ignoring me. "Jacob. I was thinking about it and well, I guess I love him."
"Bella! I love you!"
"I love you too."
"Your being selfish now Bella."
I turned on the radio to break the silence. Jacob looked at me and he turned it off.
"Bella." There was a pause as he took a deep breath. "I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now." I stared at him and nodded. "Well… I told you what imprinting was didn't I?" I again nodded. " Bella. I've imprinted on you. I love you and I guess, I always will. We're made for each other."
I looked away and I could feel my cheeks burning up. My heart was thumping so hard that it felt like it was going to burst through my chest. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around Jacobs neck and pressed my lips against his. He wasn't trying. I thought, as I kissed him, why he wasn't kissing me back? Jacob suddenly pushed me off him. "Bella!" He gasped. "I'm driving!" Jacob repositioned the car on the right side of the road. I blushed. How have I could have been so stupid?
When we arrived at the beach, Jacob took my hand and we ran to the shoreline. "C'mon, let's go for a swim." Jacob kissed my lips and then jumped into the water. I saw his head pop up from under the water from quite far out. Jacob signalled for me to join him. I stripped off and dived in. The water was cool and refreshing. The silence was like music to my ears. When I went up to the surface to take a breath, Edward was there, looking straight into my eyes. He was smiling his crooked smile. Wait, Edward? Why was Edward at the beach with me and Jacob. "Edward?" I whispered.
"Bella… It's Jacob." I rubbed my eyes and there was Jacob except he was slowly swimming further and further away from me. "You really do love him. Your seeing Edward wherever you go. Your obsessed!"
"It's called love!" I shouted. I ducked my head underwater and I could feel tears starting to well up in my eyes. I swam in the direction of the shore. When I got out, I put on my clothes and dropped on to the sand. I burst into tears. I peeked through my hands that were covering my face to see Jacob getting out of the water. He looked angry, so angry that he could have just burst into flames right in front of me. He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes. It looked like he was trying to calm himself down and then I blinked and he was a werewolf. I stood up, my legs slightly shaky and my whole body covered in sand.
"Jacob! What are you doing?" I yelled out to him. He glared at me and then ran off in the direction of the forest.
