I love to hear your opinions as to what you hope to happen in this story and what you think of these chapters so far. Again this is my first story so please be patient and considerate when leaving reviews.

While it felt like an hour, 20 minutes later I pulled up to the familiar little red house. I turned off my truck and checked my reflection once more in the rear view mirror. I wanted to make sure my makeup hadn't smudged all over my face or my hair hadn't fallen out completely, that would just be my luck. Clumsy, awkward Bella finally gets up the courage to admit her feelings to her best friend and shows up looking like she just woke up with her hair and makeup from last night. I was surprised to see that my curls were still intact and my makeup still complemented my complexion, Alice would be proud. Even with my constant fidgeting, and playing with my hair on the way, I was proud of myself.

As I turned my attention back to the little red house, the screen door opened. Jacob was dressed in dark blue sweatpants with the words "Abercrombie & Fitch" down the side of his left leg with a white t-shirt. He stared at me with a confused look on his face and crossed his arms. I couldn't help but notice how tight the shirt was on his biceps, if he flexed them anymore that shirt was sure to rip. I bit down on my bottom lip as a memory from months ago played in my mind, his full, luscious lips had been on mine and his big strong hands had been all over my body as we stood on the mountain. I had begged him to kiss me in an effort to keep him from going into the battle so angry. The last thing I expected was to want more than just a kiss from him. There's no denying his body gives most people sexual thoughts but I was in love with Edward... right? I had played it off then as if it had no effect on me, but the truth was I hadn't stopped thinking about it since.

As I felt the effects this memory had on my body, I quickly remembered how strong a werewolf's senses were and that definitely wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Jake was still staring at me, he looked even more confused than he was before I was consumed with the memory of our first real kiss. It had been at least 5 minutes since I pulled up, no more putting off the inevitable. After all I wouldn't have to jump right into it, we just needed to talk and get back on good terms before I poured my heart out. I decided to leave my jacket in the car, hoping my outfit would impress Jake.

I got out of my truck and slowly began to walk towards Jake. As soon as I got within distance, it was obvious he wasn't really happy to see me. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. We were best friends forever right? Or was I just selfish to expect that when I was engaged to his mortal enemy? There were a million things running through my mind and my stomach was full of butterflies.

"What the hell are you doing here Bella? Shouldn't you be planning your wedding to your bloodsucker?" His voice was full of hostility and I didn't want to say the wrong thing.

"Jake, I... I missed you and wanted to see you." My voice was filled with hope like hearing these words would change his attitude.

"You already know I miss you when I'm not around you Bells, but I think distance is better between us since you're about to get married. We can't be Jake and Bells like we used to be. The sooner you accept that, the easier this will be on the both of us... not that this will ever get easier for me." He whispered the last part to himself, but I could still hear it. The look on his face was as if it caused him physical pain to say those words.

"I put my engagement on hold Jake. All of this has been too quick for me... We haven't told Charlie and I don't know what I want..." I looked down at the ground. I didn't want to talk about Edward or the stupid wedding that was supposed to happen in a month. I didn't even think about the fact that I hadn't said any of this to Edward. I just wanted Jake to hold me and tell me everything was going to be okay like he always did.

"What're you talking about Bella? You were so sure just a few weeks ago when you told me Edward was your soul mate. What kind of game is this?" His eyed were filled with anger. Nothing I said seemed to be the right answer.

"Why are you being so mean Jake? I'm not playing games with you. You're my best friend, pretty much my only friend. The only one I have to talk to. Please don't shut me out now." I looked up, right into his eyes, and for a second I felt better. For some reason my whole body relaxed and just being around him was enough for me.

He must've felt it too because he uncrossed his arms and hugged me. Not some weak hug either, his strong arms wrapped around me tightly as he whispered, "I'll always be here for you Bells, I'm just trying to be whatever you need or want me to be."

I hugged him back as tight as I could and couldn't help what happened next. Tears started pouring down my face. I wanted to tell him that I felt the same way he did. That I wanted to marry him, have kids and grow old with him. I may have been getting ahead of myself but its how I felt. I wiped my tears away with my hand before he could notice but my makeup made it obvious once he pulled away. He held my face in his hands and wiped my tears away with his thumbs. "You're too dressed up to be crying like the sweetheart." He smiled and kissed my forehead.

I giggled, knowing I must've looked silly. Yet again he was exactly what I needed him to be. I had a big smile on my face from cheek to cheek. He laughed and pulled me towards him again into another hug. It was happily welcomed. I wrapped my arms around him, never wanting to let go. "I must be driving you crazy with my mood swings and how often I change my mind. You're amazing Jake. I'm so lucky to have you." For the first time in awhile, I felt at home in his arms.

"What are you so dressed up for anyway Bells, was rich boy supposed to take you somewhere?" he asked rudely as he pulled away from me once again.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Nope, I'm just trying out a new look. What do you think?" I asked as I modeled my outfit for him, fully turning around so he could see the back of my dress which was half lace and was skin tight from the waist up. It was dark blue and stopped right before my knees. The bottom was comfortably loose and gave my body a little more curves than usual.

The expression on his face was priceless. He was clearly enjoying the display of skin I was showing off today which was a lot more than usual. My eyes were drawn to the obvious bulge in his pants. I bit down on my lip as I stared, noticing its size. I blushed and looked away quickly hoping he wouldn't notice. He cleared his throat, obviously embarrassed which was unlike Jake.

"Why don't we go inside? We could watch a movie. You up to it Bells?" he asked, opening the door to his house.

I was happy he still wanted to hang out and surprised he didn't have somewhere else to be. Sam constantly kept him busy with pack duty, patrolling all the time. I was going to ask but I didn't want to talk about anyone else. For the first time in months it was going to be Jake and Bella. No Vampires or Werewolves existed for the time being.

I nodded my head and walked through the door and into the living room of the familiar house with Jake following right behind me. I sat down on the couch, thankful I was still welcomed. "So, what're we going to watch? And don't you dare say some stupid action movie we've seen a million times."

He stood in front of the TV laughing with a guilty look on his face, "Don't insult my action movies Bells. You know you love them."

I gave him a serious look and crossed my arms, pouting like a brat.

"Fine. How about.. 21 Jump Street?"

"Hmm, I haven't seen that yet. I heard it was extremely funny though so it sounds good to me."

I motioned for Jake to sit next to me. As soon as he sat down I cuddled up next to him, putting my head on his shoulder. I hated when there was distance between us and I hoped he wouldn't mind.

Thankfully he didn't. He put his arm around me, picked up the remote and ordered the movie. I thought of all the times we spent in this house and how many of my favorite memories were in this room. It was like my sanctuary. We've been through so much in these past months, more than any normal teenagers.

I knew this happiness may be short lived. I hadn't told Edward I was having second thoughts, only that I wanted my space for the next few days and he insisted he understood. I was thankful he's not allowed on Quileute lands to see what was going on. Of course Alice must've seen a vision of me coming to visit Jacob but she could see nothing of when were together. My outfit may have raised questions in her mind but she may not mention it out of fear she would discourage my new sense of fashion. Maybe she wouldn't even tell Edward where I was.

However, it didn't really matter. My decision was clear, I choose Jacob. Of course it wouldn't be that simple, nothing has ever been simple in my life.

How am I going to break up with Edward? Will he understand? So many questions consumed my thoughts but I'd answer them all on Monday. For now, 21 Jump Street is all I was going to pay attention to. I had my Jacob back. We'd figure everything out eventually, it would all fall into place.
