Chapter 3: A Visit to La Push

My days had been some of the happiest days I'd had in a really long time. What I really wanted was to go see Jake, but I knew that he didn't really know me that well yet, and it would be weird. I would have to wait.

I didn't talk to Edward anymore. I didn't want to get even remotely close to him. I have had enough of Edward in the past ten years. But I knew he was always staring at me, and trying to make conversation whenever he could.

Luck was on my side on Wednesday, when Mike asked me to come with everyone when we all go to La Push. But the wait was just so long I could hardly stand it.

Saturday finally arrived, and I was ready. I couldn't just go over there and know everyone's name, and everything about them. I had to pretend to know nothing. This must be how Alice feels all of the time.

The ride there, Mike was driving, and Jessica, Angela, Tyler, Eric, and Lauren were also in the car, but I was just mainly thinking about Jake again. But now he would love me, and not Nessie.

We did the hike and blah blah blah. These were all just memories of my past. But now would be the change. I sit down on a log while Eric introduces us to the Quileutes, and blush when Jacob looks at me when Eric reads my name off. Then Sam gets up and introduces the 7 boys there; Sam, Jacob, Quil, Embry, Seth, Paul, and Jared. I knew that none of them knew that they would soon be wolves, but it was still interesting to see that they were all friends even before their brotherly bond of wolfness.

I put my hair down to hide my face so that I could look at Jacob through my curtain of hair without him noticing. He never took his eyes off of me. When most people are done eating, they all scattered around. Some were skipping rocks, some went up to the village, and some went on another hike.

Tyler, Lauren, Quil, Embry, and Jake, were all crowded around a CD player, leaving me sitting on the log, and after a few minutes, Jake sauntered over to me.

"You're Isabella Swan, aren't you?"

"It's just Bella," I say, batting my eyelashes.

"I'm Jacob Black. You bought my dad's truck." He stated, sticking out his hand.

"Oh, you're Billy's son," I say, shaking his warm hand. I just wanted to pull him into a hug already. But then I would be weird. We started having a conversation about my car that I've already had, and we start walking.

"So… do you have a boyfriend?" Jake asks tentatively.

"No, still looking," I say with a grin.

"Oh," he says and I can see as he turns to look at the forest and smiles, and mouths the word 'yes!'

"So how're you liking Forks?" he asks.

"Well, something recent just made it really a lot better." I say.

"Oh. What is it?" He asks.

"I'll tell you later." I say, grinning at the ground. "So you're what, sixteen?" I ask, batting my eyelashes.

"I-I-uh, just turned fifteen," he confessed, flattered.

"Really?" I ask, trying not to make myself look like a fraud. I was never good at lying when I was a human.

"I pretty tall for my age," He explains to me.

"So, do you come to Forks much?" I ask, begging, hoping for him to say yes.

"Well, no. Not really. But once I get my license, and car fixed, I can come up as much as I want," he says. Just then Mike and Jessica came walking up to us.

"Oh, there you are Bella!" Mike shouts.

Jacob looked alarmed. ""I thought you said you didn't have a boyfriend," he says.

"He's not my boyfriend," I mutter. "Bye Jake. Hope to see you soon," I say in a seductive voice, giving him the little finger wave. I go with Mike back to the car, and the whole ride back, all I was thinking about, was Jake. Everyone was trying to include me in conversations, but I just shrugged them off.

For dinner I had leftover lasagna. It felt so good to eat and sleep again. I got my PJ's on, and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I was just remembering a dream. A really good dream, which involved Jacob.

For Christmas, all I want is just a bunch of reveiw for you guys. THAT WOULD MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST PERSON EVER! Merry Christmas everyone!
