I decided to wait until Friday to see you. I wanted to get used to the fact of Bella being my friend first. In the beginning, she seemed a bit sad, but Mike and the other boys were always cheering her up. Mike flirted with her now that she was single; he and Jessica had broken up a while ago. He claimed she was too stuck up for his taste. I gave the boy a once over. He was handsome, with his baby face and cute blonde hair. I mean, I wasn't into guys, besides you, but I also knew whether a man was good looking or not.
I watched as the two humans flirted. This pleased me immensely. I had prayed that Mike and Bella would hit it off. Maybe now that we weren't an item she could focus on the blonde kid. Hmm. The thought made me feel a bit less guilty, but not completely satisfied.
I hadn't had my own fill yet.

That Friday night, I went to the woods, knowing that Jacob and his pack would be on patrol. As I wandered among the trees, I tried to think of what I was going to say.
That's when I was knocked over by a huge russet wolf.
Edward? Your voice echoed in my head. I grinned widely and wrapped my arms around your furry neck, burying my cold face into the crook of it. I nuzzled your neck and whispered "I love you" countless times. You were so shocked you phased and were laying naked on top of me, letting me whisper into your ear.
"Edward?" you raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you…? You're…you're supposed to be with Bella."
"Jacob…she…she let me come back to you…" I mumbled, still content to be near you and even better, hugging you. "Jacob…please…take me back."
You snapped then, scrambling up and glaring down at me. "Take you back?! Edward, you broke my heart into a million pieces!"
My head drooped. "Jacob…"
"You ruined everything! In a period of two days you ruined EVERYTHING!"
"Please, Jacob…" I let my head droop but I looked into your eyes. "You're…you're all I have. I'm so completely in love with you. I love…everything about you. Without you, I'm nothing. And I could give you everything, Jacob. I love you."
Your expression softened and you lowered your eyes to the ground, looking guilty. "Yeah well…" he smiled a bit, still looking at the ground, but the grin was visible. "Uh…yeah. I talked to my pack."
I picked my head up, eyes wide. "What'd they say?"
You shrugged, your smile not leaving. "Well, Sam was sore at first…but he said if this is what makes me happy, then it's sort of alright with him. Sort of. Paul didn't like the idea but I didn't expect him to, not that I care," you rolled your eyes. "Leah, of course, made a comment about me being gay…but Sam and Seth both double teamed her and she ran off muttering something like 'leech loving fag'," you rolled your eyes again. "Seth was totally for it. He even hugged me," you laughed a bit. "Quil and Embry said they still didn't like you, but if this is what I wanted they were all for it. Jared didn't really say anything. The others didn't either." Your smile hadn't faded. "So yeah…I guess, basically, it's ok." Your eyes gazed into my own. "I mean…what I'm trying to say, Edward, is…is that I'm willing to give this a try…if you are-"
I was already on you before you got to finish.
