Chapter 2- Family

BPOV

I woke the next morning to fog. Typical honestly but I was really hoping that where ever I decided to go wasn't always so foggy first thing in the morning. In fact I hoped where ever I ended up I hoped I could wake up to sunshine and blue birds.

That thought made me laugh. Even when I lived in Phoenix there was never sunshine and blue birds. It was just normally just sunshine. We hardly ever saw rain.

I got up and showered using my favorite strawberry shampoo and then used the blow drier to dry my hair.

"Bella?!" Charlie was yelling at me from down stairs and I heard someone cough.

I wrapped my towel around myself and stepped to the top of the stairs and looked down, "just give me a minute and I'll be down."

Jacob looked up at me and grinned, "You can take your time if you're going to just stand up there like that."

"JAKE!" I felt my face get hot and I ducked into my bedroom quickly.

I could hear Jacob's laughing down stairs and I quietly cursed his need to be early to everything. I grab a pair of skinny jeans, and a teal sweater. I shoved my feet into my converse shoes and ran down the stairs two at a time.

I missed the last two steps and stumbled down them much to the amusement of Jake. I smacked his arm once I had straitened up, "shut up, you over grown dork."

Charlie laughed, "You two have fun. I'm working tonight so I won't be here when you get home."

"Ok Dad I'll see you tomorrow" I grabbed my coat and hurried out the door to Jakes red VW rabbit.

Hopping in I snuck a glance at Jake and laughed, "You know one of these days Charlie is going to catch onto the fact that you keep showing up to my house wearing the same cloths."

Jake rolled his eyes at me, started the car, and pulled out, "yeah but these are my pick Bella up for a date cloths."

"In other words these are the only thing you haven't phased out of." I said laughing

"Yeah," he said laughing with me.

"I could have just ridden. You know I don't mind."

" Bella as much as I like you on my back Charlie would have a heart attack if I phased in front of him."

"Yeah I know." I huffed as I watched the first signs of La Push come into view.

"I'll make you a deal Bells. We play nice this afternoon and then tonight I'll let you ride up to the bon fire."

I felt my face breaking into a grin and I laughed again, "That depends on your definition of good."

Jake grins at me and laughs, "yeah like that will happen again."

I laughed knowing exactly what he meant. We had been each other's firsts for everything but in the end our friendship was more important. Romance between us just wasn't right. We found that out when everyone in the pack started imprinting. Jake thought he would imprint on me but it never happened. After what seemed like forever we decided that it wasn't for us because eventually he would imprint on someone and we didn't want to be like Sam, Emily and Leah.

Imprinting was a serious thing. Sam and Leah were in love. They had started dating when she was a freshmen and everything thought they were perfect but then he changed. Things were different after his change because she knew he was keeping something from her but he was keeping things from her and she knew it. One of the rules of the pack was you couldn't let anyone outside the pack know about it. In fact Sam wouldn't tell anyone what happened and some people thought he had gotten into drugs or something shady. Leah loved him though and stuck by him even though he wouldn't tell her what happened. One day Emily came to visit her and when Sam saw her the first time he imprinted on her and had to break up with Leah. Leah was devastated not only because she loved Sam but because Emily was like a sister to her. Leah is still bitter about it but Jake and her have become pretty close. Honestly I think they should just give up on the idea of imprinting and get together but I haven't got the guts to tell them that to their faces. I just a chicken like that sometimes especially considering he's my best friend.

"So what are we going to do till tonight?"

"Not sure what do you want to do?"

I rolled my eyes at him knowing where this was going, "I asked you first Jake so you decide."

He started laughing, "Ok you win. Why don't we go cliff diving?"

"Sure we can do that."

He grinned again and headed for the cliffs.

**********

Our cloths were in the drier and I was wearing a set of sweats that I left there for occasions like this when the door burst open and most of the pack came pouring into the Blacks living room. I quickly jumped up and made a dash for the kitchen. When wolfs eat there is no stopping them from emptying the place of everything.

After a quick assessment of the kitchen I decided that pancakes were the only thing I could really make that would actually feed the wild beasts. It looked like they had been there already once.

Sam the pack leader strolled into the kitchen while I was putting the batter on the griddle, "hay Bella. You don't always have to cook for us when we show up."

I started laughing and rolled my eyes, "yeah I know but if I don't you guys will eat Jake and Billy out of house and home."

He started laughing with me and I smacked him with my spatula. "If Emily and I aren't cooking you pups would probably start gnawing on the table legs!"

"Hay! That isn't fair!" Sam said pretending to be mad.

"Oh that's right I forgot you already got rid of your milk teeth. It's just the others we have to worry about." I said as seriously as I could as I flipped the pancakes.

He grinned and winked at me as we heard a collective growl coming from the liveing room.

"So Jake said you got a scholarship to Dartmouth," Sam said poking around for information.

"Yeah I did, full ride, but I don't know. It's Ivy League and I was just planning on sticking around and going to WU." I said plating the first batch and starting more on the griddle.

"WHAT?!" Sam started shaking.

I instinctively stepped away from him and felt Jacob move between Sam and I.

"Calm down man. She has to decide things on her own." Jacob said pushing Sam back and away from me.

Sam took some deep breaths and the shaking stopped, "Bella you should go where you will get the best possible education. This is the opportunity of a life time and you don't have to pay for it."

"I know that Sam but my family is here." I simply said as I shoved Jacob out of the way so I could flip the pancakes as if nothing major had just happened. "Besides I don't need an ivy league education to teach."

"An ivy league school wouldn't hurt you in teaching either." Sam shot back at me.

I rolled my eyes at him as I plated up the last of the pancakes, "PANCAKES ARE DONE COME AND GET 'EM!"

I quickly set the plates on the counter and stepped out of the way as the pack raced in and started snatching them up. The food was gone in a matter of minutes and I was glad there would be more food at the bonfire, jumping from cliffs can sure make someone hungry.

I left the pack cleaning up the kitchen as I went into Jake's bedroom. I dug around for a backpack and then quickly joined them in the living room. Most of the pack was gone but Jake was waiting for me with Seth and Embry.

I tossed the backpack on the couch as Seth handed me a pile of shorts. I started stuffing them into the bag quickly knowing that if I didn't want to see the pack in their birthday suits we would need these later, "you know Seth you could have gone on without me."

"Nope! Bosses orders. Sam wants to make sure you don't fall off or something." He grinned at me

"Alright alright go out and phase. I'll be there in a minute and then we can get up to the bonfire." I replied rolling my eyes at him.

The guys hurried outside as I turned off lights and grabbed the backpack off the couch. When I stepped out onto the front porch there were three more pairs of shorts for me to toss into the bag and looked at the three massive wolfs standing on the lawn.

The gangly sandy colored one started jumping around ready to run and it made me laugh. No matter how old Seth got he was still just a kid at heart. The rusty brown one rolled his eyes at Seth and nudged me gently as he laid down on the grass at my feet. I took that as a sign that they were all wanted to get this show on the road.

I climbed onto Jacobs back and fisted his fur in my hands as he took off in a full run. Seth and Embry chassed after us as we made our way up to the cliffs where the others had gathered. The run was always the best part of getting to the bonfires. I never fell off any more but the guys still liked giving me hell about it. I think it came more with the trust factor. Once I completely trusted Jacob I knew I wouldn't be hurt. Even the guys phasing around me didn't bother me anymore. None of them would ever hurt me, we were family. We raced up to the fire and I climbed off of Jakes' back as I quickly turned tossed the bag on the ground.

Before I had a chance to close my eyes Jared had phased back and grabbed his shorts. I could hear him laughing at me softly as my face got red and I turned away from him. I hated that trait of mine. I could never disguise my embarresment.

The night passed quickly and everyone encouraged me to take the scholarship but I still wasn't sure.
