The next day I woke up feeling like a kid on their birthday. I was so excited and happy that I couldn't stand for a while just thinking about this day. I was going to be Mrs. Edward Masen Cullen in about ten hours. Edward and I decided the wedding should be held just at dusk as the sun sets. I wanted us to kiss under the fiery colors of the sky and dance under the moon and stars. Alice made sure there really was a full moon tonight and I knew everything was going to be perfect.

I went downstairs and saw that Renee was cooking breakfast while Charlie and Phil sat on the counter talking about the weather. Renee was cooking? This day made everyone feel differently, I guessed. So it wasn't just me. I skipped, yes, skipped over to them and planted a kiss on Renee's cheek and then on Charlie's. Charlie looked at me like I had swallowed a cow but then his expression changed. He looked at me like I was a little girl again. The fact is, I actually felt like I was a little girl again.

"Good morning, sunshine!" said Renee. She served me some breakfast and hugged me before cleaning up the dishes.

"Sunshine?" I asked her innocently. They all looked at me knowingly as I started to eat my breakfast. The conversation was nice and easy. We talked about my college plans and what time our departure was. We already finished saying our goodbyes so there wasn't anything else to talk about really.

After breakfast I went upstairs and started packing the rest of my things. I wanted to leave some things just in case I decided to visit Charlie but thought against it just in case I wouldn't be able to. I wouldn't want to leave anything that would remind Charlie of me and cause him unnecessary pain.

"Bella?" Charlie called from downstairs. "You have a visitor!" I ran downstairs and thought about who it might be. Probably, some of my friends coming to wish me the best. I stopped abruptly when I saw who it was.

"Hey, Bells!" said Jacob. I walked slowly towards him and hugged him fiercely even thought my parents were looking on. Out of politeness, they left us and went inside the kitchen. I let go and smiled at him.

"I never thought I would ever get to do that again," said Jacob as he laughed.

"How are you, Jake?" I asked him. He looked much different form when I saw him last. His hair was longer and fell down past his shoulders. He was as tall as hew was then but he looked older, in a way that was mature not weary.

"I'm fine," he answered uneasily. "I went on a trip a few weeks ago and now I'm working on a new car." I chuckled right then. He was still the same Jacob. Before I could ask where he went on his trip, the phone rang. I told him to wait while I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Bella, are you all right?" asked Edward.

"Of course I am," I told him. "Why do you ask?"

"Alice said she can't see you," said Edward.

"Oh! That's because Jacob's here," I told him. If I didn't know any better, I swear I heard Edward breathe a sigh of relief which was a little strange.

"All right then," said Edward. "Alice will pick you up after lunch, but we won't see each other. I'm hunting with my brothers right now and I won't be back until much later."

"Okay then, take care. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye." I hung up and then gestured for Jacob to join me in the lving room where we could sit.

"You're glowing, Bella," he said as we sat down. "I can see you're very happy." I looked down at my hands and thought about how I had no right to be happy in front of him after all I put him through.

He tipped my chin up and looked at me incredulously, "Stop looking guilty for nothing," he chided. "Now let me tell you what I came to say. Don't worry. It won't make you call off the wedding or anything drastic like that." I chuckled as I continued to listen to him.

"I wanted to see you before your wedding just in case," said Jacob. "I want to say a proper goodbye instead of the painful one we had last time." I winced at the memory. That day didn't hurt as much as the day Edward left me but it was still painful. Not just because I hurt Jacob but because I hurt Edward too.

"I don't see how this can be any different," I told him meekly.

"It is different," said Jacob. "You're happy, Bells. A few weeks ago I would have given anything for you to be happy with me, but no. Now I know that will never happen. I've thought a lot about it and I've accepted everything. You love me, I can still see that, but Edward is your soul mate. Not even your love for Charlie or Renee can be strong enough to test your love for him. That's why I've even come to terms with the fact that there's no stopping you from making him change you into a vampire." My eyes were starting to hurt because of the things he was saying but my heart was filling with joy.

"I'm saying goodbye not because I wouldn't be able to stand you as a vampire, but because it's time to. This isn't forever, Bells. I know we'll meet again someday." After that he hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe but I didn't complain. I was going to miss this. He stood up and I walked him to the door. I hugged him one last time and before he could leave, I asked him the question I was a little scared to ask at first, but now I know it was okay.

"You've imprinted, haven't you?" I asked more as a statement. He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Maybe I'll tell you someday," he said quietly. "By the way, tell Edward I won't be attending your wedding but thanks for the invitation."

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"Uh, you didn't know?" he asked. I shook my head waiting for him to explain.

"He sent me an invitation telling me you were afraid of hurting me by obligating me to come. He said I should have a choice." Jacob explained. My eyes started tearing up and I couldn't help it. My Edward was such a martyr. He would do anything for me.

"It's not like I don't want to go, but I think it would be better this way. I've said my goodbyes and I think it's time we go our separate ways." After that Jacob walked away and slid into his Rabbit. I waved at him as he drove away. I will never forget you, Jacob Black.
