THANK YOU WONDERFUL REVIEWERS, FAVORITERS, AND UM…ALERTERS! I'M HAPPY YOU ARE ENJOYING THE STORY (:
Has anyone heard BD's album? I'm in love with "It Will Rain" (Mars-tian in the house) and "A Thousand Years" is simply phenomenal.
For those who enjoyed CHILDHOOD, those were really fun to write. I have a million more in my head that didn't make it in.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga. If I did, there'd be pictures.
CAUSE
My entire family was seated around me in my home's dining room. Everyone's eyes were on Jacob, now fourteen years old. For his age, he was huge. I was surprised that my baby boy had grown close to six feet in the last year.
Today, we were deciding what we would be doing next fall. We had stalled moving out of New York for far too long for Jacob's sake. He had made so many friends, with his bright personality and athletic skill, but I wasn't aging. I missed when he was a baby and I could say that I was his mother and have people be surprised but not suspicious.
To soften the blow of leaving his home, we allowed Jacob to pick where we would go next. We would move there with Carlisle and Esme and all my siblings. They wanted to see Jacob grow up. It would be our family's only chance to watch a child grow. Edward, Alice, Jasper, and Jacob would be going to High School. Emmett and I not going would raise eyebrows, but it was weird enough going to a new school with your aunt and uncles, let alone your mom and dad. I wished Jacob could learn like a normal kid, but the secret was too valuable.
Jacob understood what we were now, and the importance of the secret. He also knew that he could die while we remained teenagers, but he didn't want to ever discuss it so we left it in his hands.
"I know where I want to live," Jacob announced
I leaned toward him in curiosity and asked, "Where, sweetie?"
"Forks." My family exchanged surprised and worried looks. I knew he would want to return there one day, but not for his high-school years.
"Jacob..." I began. He knew this could be risky. What if he were to be recognized? "You know that could be tricky. And it could bring back bad memories. I don't want you to be in pain."
"I know, but it's the only place I want to be. And it won't remind me of anything, but why I'm so lucky that you guys found me." The fiend. He'd melted my still heart and Esme's. He really wanted this if he was pulling on my heartstrings like that. I gave him a soft look. He had to convince the rest though.
"Let's vote," Carlisle said.
Alice spoke first. "I'm not getting much but I have a good feeling about Forks. Let's go!" Jasper nodded.
"I don't like it. No," said Edward. Always the party pooper. He gave me a look that was part "Stop calling me that." and one part "I know your secret." I kept my thoughts to myself. I hoped he wasn't talking about the Black thing, but I knew he was.
"Anything for my family. Yes," Emmett said. No surprise, but I gave him a grateful kiss. Carlisle too nodded. He wouldn't deny Jacob especially. I hated Forks, but if it was what Jacob wanted, I would love it.
Don't worry, the future chapters will be longer
