It was dark. It was incredibly dark. I looked around frantically for a source of light, or person. I realized I was in the woods of La Push. What am I doing here? I was definitely confused. My surroundings became lighter and I saw a dark figure in the woods. They stepped forward; it was Edward. I growled -yes, growled- at him. He snarled at Jacob as he stepped out behind me. Edward rushed forward to protect me and I backed in Jacob's arms. Edward pulled his lips over his teeth as he snarled. I heard more footsteps and all of our head swiveled to the noise. Victoria stepped out of the bushes. "It's time to say goodbye Bella." She smiled sadistically.
I gasped, and woke up with a start. Sweat dripped off my forehead. "God, it's hot in here." I exclaimed. I threw off my blankets and reached over for my clock; 3:37am. "You're Joking!" I hissed at the clock. Great, it was 3:37am, and I was wide awake. I punched my clock and heard a resulting crack. The glass frame on the front of the clock was smashed. I didn't mean to hit it that hard, but I mean come on! It's almost 4:00 in the morning, and I wanted to be asleep.
My joints twisted painfully as I bent down to grab the remaining shards of my clock. I realized at that moment, that I wasn't bleeding. I guess I was definitely mad. I picked up a few shards and placed them in the bin next to my bed. I huffed in frustration.
After relaxing for a while in bed, I grew restless. My legs twitched and I kept fidgeting. Honestly, what did my legs want to do? Did they want to run? Even if they did, like that's going to happen. I'm not breaking an arm just so I could go for a run. There was a knock at the window. I smiled. It was probably Jake. I somehow don't think Victoria would knock politely on my window. That would be a weird experience. I walked up and opened the window to let Jake inside.
I turned to sit back on my bed when I felt it; a cold breeze. I froze and tensed before turning around. And standing before me was Alice Cullen. "Alice." I smiled. She flung herself at me. "Gosh Bella, I was so worried; your future just disappeared!" She hurriedly explained. I wrapped my arms around her. "Oh it's so nice to see you too! I'm very good, thanks for asking." I said, rolling my eyes. "I'm glad to see that you're better Bella." She smiled, and then wrinkled her nose. "What is that god-awful wet dog smell?" She asked in distain. I snickered. "That's probably Jacob. He's a werewolf." She shook her head. "From vampires to wolves, oh the company you keep." I grinned. "Anyway, why are you so awake at this time in the morning?" She demanded. "I'm wide awake, for some reason." I grumbled. "When I woke up and I was like this, I kinda did that." I said, pointing at my clock. "Alice looked amused. "Not a morning person?" She asked innocently. I grumbled a 'no' under my breath. "And why are you so warm?" She asked me. I shrugged.
After several hours of pelting me with questions, Alice bid me a farewell and left to the Cullen's current location. Finally after hours of waiting, it was 7:30. I smiled and hopped out of bed. I got dressed, making sure to wear bathers underneath for the beach and then skipped down the stairs, not tripping once. Smiling triumphantly at the bottom, I wandered into the kitchen and sat next to Charlie. "Do you want some breakfast?" He asked with his mouth full. I shook my head. "Dad," I said, getting up from my chair. "I'm to Jake's." He nodded. "See you later Bells" He shouted as the door closed.
I opened the door to Jake's house, knowing I didn't really need to knock. "Hey Billy, how are you?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen. He wheeled around to face me. "I'm feeling good. How are you Bella?" He asked. I shrugged. "I'm here to find sleeping beauty." I said teasingly. I heard a loud 'Hey!' from the other room and I snickered. Billy was definitely amused. I walked over to his room and opened the door. "Fine then, Cinderella!" I yelled without bothering to look in. He huffed and pulled the door open. I stuck my tongue out and danced outside. "Come back here!" He yelled, dashing out of the house. I sprinted down the road with Jacob behind me.
"I'm gonna get you Bells!" Jacob yelled and lunged, grabbing my leg and pulling me to the ground. We burst out laughing. "That was so fun Cinderella!" I chucked. He started to tickle me. "No Jacob, stop!" I squeezed out through laughs. After a few more minutes, he relented. I laughed and hugged him. "Lets go to the beach." I smiled. He lifted me up and grabbed my hand. I looked at him for a second, realizing he was shirtless and wearing board shorts; he came prepared. I shook my head and started walking, after realizing that I had been staring. Jacob hadn't realized this and strode along beside me.
We arrived at the beach and decided we'd go for a swim. I pulled off my shirt and pants, glad I'd decided to wear bathers today. I put them on the sand, near the forest's edge. Jake stalked towards me, with a mischievous gleam in his eye. In a couple of seconds I was slung over his shoulder and headed towards the water. "No!" I yelled as he jumped, pulling me under the water with him.
After hours of dragging each other under the water, we finally settled on a beach, me in Jake's arms, watching the sunset. We're just friends for now.
