I know what y'all are thinking. Two updates in one day? Yes! I already had this written in my notebook...soooo there ya go! Plus I'm at my boyfriend's on his computer...and he's at tutoring getting ready for this Cal3 final. Sucks for him. And so I am typing and watching the Suns and the Spurs. GO SPURS GO! This chapter was based on the song "You Picked Me" by A Fine Frenzy. I recommend this song. It's so good.
Bella POV
Today is the last day of summer. I really don't want summer to end but since when did mother nature listen to me? Tomorrow is my first day of senior year. I shouldn't be worried, but I am. Alice told me that Edward requested they did not attend Forks High School. He wanted to stay close by in case something happened but he did not want to go through a whole year seeing me. So, Alice and Edward were going to be attending Port Angeles. Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper already "graduated" this past year so they would just be hanging around the house. I don't know how I feel about Edward and Alice not going to school. I almost feel offended yet relieved at the same time. Jacob was ecstatic about it.
Sometimes, Jake can be overprotective. He has Seth starting at Forks High this year. I asked Jake why he didn't just go to school with me if he was that worried but he said he has too much to do on the reservation. Since Seth is the youngest pack member, he has the least amount of responsibility and the pack didn't need him as much. I just can't tell Seth that.
I am on the beach waiting for Jake now. My Jake. I still can't get over everything that has happened. From me saying "I love you" to him realizing he imprinted on me. Sure, we had to go through Edward coming back, motorcycle accidents and Jake's amnesia. However, I wouldn't change it for the world.
"Hey Bells."
"Hi Jake," I say leaning into him as he wrapped his warm arms around me. He was so strong; I felt so safe in his arms.
"You look so lost in thought. What's up honey? What are you thinking about?"
Jake knew me so well. Better than anyone.
"Just thinking about us."
"Well…now that is one of my favorite subjects."
"Mine too," I say with a soft laugh.
"Anything in particular about us?"
"I don't know. I guess I am just amazed that from the very beginning you knew we should be together. When we first started hanging out and even after you went wolf-"
"Went wolf?" he asked with a snicker.
"You know what I mean. I'm trying to be serious here Jake!"
"Ok…I know…go on."
"Well, I was like…an apple on the top of a tree. I was so hard to reach. But you did. You were patiently trying to get to me. And you did. We're the perfect fit. And now you're mine. All mine. You blow me away. I hope you know that."
"Bells…I love you."
"I love you too. Thanks for picking me."
"Bells…you should know by now I didn't pick you. It was more than that. It was inevitable. So, thank you for picking me."
I snuggled in closer to the man behind me. He is my everything, the love of my life.
"Ready for school tomorrow?"
"No. I don't want summer to end. I won't be able to see you as much, Bells. It kills me to not be able to protect you."
"Seth will be there. He's so excited not to have to go to the reservation school anymore."
"Ha. I know. He'll see you more than me," he says in a whiny voice.
"Stop. You know we'll be together after school as long as you don't have to patrol. And, you can always sneak into my room after Charlie falls asleep."
I loved when Jake stayed the night. He just holds me until I fall asleep. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I get certain desires and I know Jake does. But, we are waiting until we are both completely ready. I know he is ready, considering he is already physically mature, but I feel like we should at least wait until we have a place of our own.
"Bella? Where is your head? And what are you thinking about?"
I feel the blush rising to my cheeks. I really don't want him to know I was thinking about sex.
"Nothing…sorry."
"You're a horrible liar. It must have been good to get that color in your cheeks," he says with a cheeky smile.
"Shut up Jake."
"Oh Bells…I love you."
"I love you too."
I hope you liked this chapter. More things will be happening soon. So, Review and I'll try to get another chapter up tomorrow. Thanks.
Here are the lyrics:
One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine
And all I can say
Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down
And all I can say
Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
