Bella's POV
Jacob and I lay on the floor with the pizza box in front of us. We had stuck the TV on and now Jacob was lying on his side snoring his head off. Emmett was sitting really quietly on the sofa behind me.
Emmett cleared his throat and I was just getting really annoyed. He cleared his throat again so I turned around.
"You do know that's not my name don't you?" Emmett looked down then nodded. I sighed and turned back to the TV.
"Bella?" I rolled my eyes and turned to face Emmett. I raised my eyebrows. "Sorry about earlier" I sighed.
"I just don't get why you were so angry" Emmett sighed.
"You were right. I wanted all the attention. I'm so sorry Bells" I smiled and stood up. I walked over to where Emmett was sitting and then wrapped my arms around him. Emmett hugged me back quickly. I sighed contentedly. Then as if to ruin the moment the door bell rang. "Just leave it" Emmett whispered in my ear. I laughed and pulled away. I quickly brushed myself down and gave Jacob a small kick then went to answer the door. There stood Caleb half dead with tiredness.
"Oh! Caleb!" I grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. I led him straight past Jacob, who was glaring at Emmett, and up stairs. I then half dragged him into his new room. I let him collapse onto the bed then I pulled the covers up over him. I then switched off the light and shut the bedroom door.
Jacob and Emmett were having a quiet argument over nothing down stairs. I cleared my throat when I entered the room so they would notice my presence.
"Sorry to interrupt this obviously very important discussion but I am off to bed. Jacob you're coming too. I don't want you half dead tomorrow because I've got a little surprise for you" Jacob nodded. I turned to Emmett and wrapped my arms around him "Night Em" Emmett kissed the top of my head.
"Night Bells" I pulled away from Emmett, grabbed Jacobs hand and pulled him upstairs into my, well our, bedroom. Jacob lay on the mattress that was on the floor while I jumped into my bed. I closed my eyes then whispered.
"Night Jacob. Love You" I heard Jacob sigh contentedly.
"Love you too Bells. Always and forever" And then my world turned into darkness.

"Bella?" I felt my whole body shake then stop "Bella?" It started shaking again. I groaned in response. A low chuckle echoed in my ear. "Come on Bella, get up. Things should be interesting today" I forced my eyes to open. There towering over me was Jacob, a huge grin one his face. I groaned again then sat up and got out of bed. I subconsciously scratched the back of my head while I closed one eye. It was a bad habit I had acquired from Charlie when I was little. So now every time I woke up, I'd scratch the back of my head and close one eye.
I pointed to the bedroom door. "Out" Jacob opened his mouth to protest but I beat him to it "Jacob I don't care what you say, you're not watching me get dressed!" Jacob fake pouted then laughed and left the room. I rolled my eyes and then threw on some clothes. I glanced down at Jacob's makeshift bed. I'd need to buy him a new bed. And some clothes. But first I had to give him something to keep himself happy.
I ran downstairs to find Emmett and Jacob arguing again, Caleb in the corner watching with a smile on his face.
"Guys!" Everyone turned to face me "Oh, sorry, was I interrupting?" Jacob smiled and rolled his eyes. "Can't you two just get along?" Jacob and Emmett eyed each other in disgust. Emmett sighed then nodded slowly.
"If it means that much to you then...I'll try and be nice to the dog" I raised my eyebrows and Emmett groaned "Nice to Jacob then" I smiled then turned to Jake. He just rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever" I smirked. Just then Caleb butted in. He spoke directly to Emmett.
"When you say dog, what exactly do you mean?" I sighed.
"Emmett, you explain while I go and show Jake his surprise" I grabbed Jacob's hand and dragged him out of the house and into the garage. Jake let out a low whistle when he saw the car waiting for him.
"Bells that is one hell of a car. Is it Emmett's?" I shook my head. Well at least I knew he liked it. "Yours?! Wow. Sorry Bella but I never thought I'd see you driving one of these!" I smirked.
"Oh, it's not mine either" Jacob frowned.
"Well who's is it then?" I smiled and stayed silent for a moment before finally saying.
"It's yours" Jacob gawked at the car with loving eyes. All men were the same. Car-mad.
"Bella! Do you even know what kind of car this is?! It's a Ferrari F430 Spi-" I placed my hands over my ears, closed my eyes and started saying 'lalalala'. When it came to cars I just lost all interest.
"Jacob, I don't care what kind of car it is. All I know is it's yours. So you can muck about with the engine and stuff" Jacob's eyes widened and his hand leaped to his mouth. Drama-queen.
"I am not doing anything to this engine!! It's perfect!! It's...beautiful" I snorted and rolled my eyes.
"I'll leave you two alone then" Jacob nodded but didn't take his eyes off of his new baby.
I laughed and closed the garage door. I then ran back up to the house. I found Emmett and Caleb in the kitchen. Emmett was trying to convince Caleb that Jake was a filthy mutt. I rolled my eyes as I grabbed Caleb's arm but before I dragged him out to my car I turned to Emmett.
"I'm going to the mall, for stuff for these guys. Do you need anything?" Emmett shook his head. I smiled and continued dragging Caleb out to the car. I shoved him into the passengers seat and then jumped into the drivers seat. Caleb was silent before he started with the round of questions.
"So, the new guy, he's a werewolf then?" I nodded. "And you're not scared of him?" I shook my head. "How come?"
"Because before he became a werewolf he was my best friend. Just because he turns into a giant wolf doesn't make me like him less" Caleb nodded.
"So, how come Emmett doesn't like him then?" I sighed.
"Firstly his name is Jacob. And secondly the werewolf's and vampires are mortal enemies. They've hated each other since the beginning of time" Caleb nodded his head understandingly.
"So how did you get caught up in vampires?" I bit my lip and shook my head.
"I'd rather not talk about that" Caleb sighed.
"You can trust me you know" I looked at Caleb and saw he was being sincere. The look in his eyes said it all. I could trust him. I sighed and silently prayed he wouldn't tell anyone what I was about to tell him.
"Two years ago I moved from Phoenix, Arizona to a small town called Forks in Washington to live with my dad. There I met the Cullen's, a group of weird kids that went to the high school I was attending. I asked a girl about them but all she told me was they never talked to anyone except each other; they never came to school when it was sunny because they went away camping and they had moved there only a few years earlier. One of them, Edward, I sat beside in biology. He used to ask me really strange questions. I eventually asked Jacob Black, a friend I'd known since I was little, about the Cullen's. He told me about 'the Cold Ones', a legend of the tribe he belonged to. I bought a book from a book shop in Port Angeles. I then found out that the Cullen's were really a coven of vampires. I confronted Edward about it and he tried to make me see that I shouldn't be hanging around with him. But I was falling in love. And so was he. Soon he stopped trying to get rid of me and introduced me to his 'family'. Carlisle and his wife Esme, Edward's parent's, Emmett and his wife Rosalie, and Jasper and his wife Alice, Edward's brothers and sisters" I decided to leave all the stuff about James out "Later though his brother Jasper couldn't stand my blood any longer so Edward and his family packed up and left to protect me. I became closer to Jacob and his friends. I then found out that he and his friends turned into giant wolves. I didn't really care. Later though I jumped of a cliff, for recreational purposes, and almost drowned. Jacob saved me though. Then when he took me home Alice was waiting in my house. She told me Edward had gone to the Volturi, the people that are after you, and that he thought I had killed myself. Me and Alice went to the Volturi and managed to save Edward from them. Then a few week's after we got home I found Edward and Rosalie, Emmett's wife, going at it. He never loved me. End of story. The End" Tears were running down my face but I ignored them. Instead I tried focusing on the road in front of me. Caleb placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Bella, I'm really sorry" I sniffed and nodded.
"It's alright, you didn't know" Caleb frowned. I put on my best smile "Come on. Lets go shopping!"

Caleb threw himself down onto the sofa and turned to Emmett, who just grinned.
"You have fun?" Caleb glared at Emmett. I sat down on Jacob's lap. Jacob was sitting on the arm chair across the room from Emmett. Jacob rested his chin on my shoulder. Emmett frowned at me then turned back to Caleb. What had I done now?! Jacob spoke first.
"So, what did you guys get then?" I repositioned myself so that I could see Jacob and the other two. I poked Jacob's chest.
"We got you a couple of t-shirts, shorts and a new bed that's waiting in the car. It's one that needs built up" I turned to Caleb "we got Caleb some clothes and" I turned to face Emmett. I lifted my bag off the ground and pulled out a small plastic bag. I threw it to Emmett "I got you this. Thought you might like it seen as we forgot to bring yours up from Forks. It's a newer model though" Emmett opened the bag and pulled out the box that was inside. His eyes widened and he grinned.
"Awesome! Thanks Bells!" I put on my best stern voice.
"Share it with these two as well!" I indicated Jake and Caleb. Emmett opened his mouth to protest but decided against that and smiled.
"Sure" Jacob moved me off his lap and sat me down beside him. He sat up straighter to try and see the box.
"What'd she get you?" Emmett turned to Jake in shock. This was the first time Jake had spoke to Emmett without it being harsh or loud. Emmett looked down at the box then threw it carefully to Jacob. I had to smile. They were actually communicating normally. And they were sharing! Jacob looked at the box then his eyes widened.
"A PlayStation 3! No way!" Jacob faced me "You get any games for it?!" I nodded.
"Yeah, there in the bag" Jacob and Caleb dived towards the bag that was sitting on Emmett's lap. I sighed and stood up.
"Ok, who's up for dinner?" Jacob and Caleb shouted in agreement. "Ok, while I go and make something you guys can check out the new toy" All the guys nodded. I laughed.
Everyone was finally getting along.
