"I'm heading to La Push!" I called out. I quickly walked to my truck as my palms began to sweat. "Bella." Carlisle smiled. "Oh. Uh hey." I said nervously. Real smooth Bella. Because he won't see right through you.
"Are you going to see Charlie?" Carlisle asked innocently. "Uh. Totally." I said. I bit my lower lip as my pulse quickened. "Drive safely. And tell Charlie when he has the chance I'd like to speak with him." Carlisle told me.
"Sure." I said smiling nervously. One word answers perfect. "Uh. Bye." I muttered quickly. I hopped in the truck and turned the engine on. Carlisle waved as I pulled away. I huffed as I drove down the road. I had to learn to lie better.
I looked over at my backpack and smiled. "Edward. Here I come." I told myself. I parked the car as Angela came to greet me. "Thank you so much." I mused. "No problem." Angela replied. "Ok. So here are they keys and I'll be back in a week." I said.
"Have a safe trip." Angela hugged me. Angela had agreed to stay with my truck. I told Charlie that I was staying with Angela for a week. I'd call Alice from the airport later and tell her the same thing.
"Bye." I called out. I entered the taxi and closed the door. "To the airport." I instructed. I took deep breaths as the taxi sped down the road. I giggled at the memory of Edward driving. The taxi pulled up at the entrance. I paid him and made my way inside.
"Hi. Welcome to Forks Airport. My name is Bree. How may I assist you." She said in a giddy tone. "One ticket to Volterra, Italy." I responded politely. "Make that two." A husky voice ordered. "Just a moment." Bree smiled. I turned around slowly afraid to face the source of the voice.
"Jake." I said in disbelief. "Bella." He said sternly. "Wha-. How-?" I stopped unable to say a full sentence. "Alice called saying you were on your way. And that she needed to speak with you." Jacob informed me. "Oh." I choked out. "Will that be cash or credit?" Bree asked.
"Cash." I replied quickly. I pulled out my wallet and paid for both tickets. "Bells. I have money." Jacob countered. "I know but I won't let you pay." I smirked. I didn't bother arguing with Jacob about not coming. It would be pointless. He was just as stubborn as I was.
"So how did you know I was here?" I asked. "Well I know for a fact that Charlie told you he was working the late shifts. Which means you lied about coming to La Push. Why would Bella Swan lie? To go find Edward." Jacob grinned impressed with himself.
"Not bad Jacob Black." I giggled. "Jake. Your really coming with me?" I asked. "Yes. Only because I wouldn't feel right about all those vamps in Italy with you. I figured I might take a couple down." Jacob flexed. I stuck my tongue out and punched Jacob playfully.
"I miss this." I confessed. "Me too." He answered. "All passengers boarding Flight 232 please head to Gate 3." A womens voice dictated through the intercom. "Volterra, Italy here we come." I grinned. We boarded the plane, it wasn't long before sleep consumed me.
My eyes sprung open as my breathing increased. "Bella. Your ok." Jacob assured me. "Bad dream?" Jacob asked. "Uh. No. I'm not sure." I said blushing. "Bells. Why are your cheeks pink?" Jacob chuckled. "Uh. No reason." I mumbled. "Uh huh." Jacob said as he raised an eyebrow.
"Don't ask." I snapped. Jacob threw his hands up and smirked sheepishly. "I did hear you say my name." Jacob grinned. "Well you heard wrong." I said defensively. "Is that so?" Jacob mused. "So how much longer till Volterra?" I asked quickly.
"About half an hour." Jacob stated. "Wow. I've been sleeping for awhile." I said shocked. "What can I say? I'm a wolf man." Jacob winked. "Ooh Jacob Black." I gritted through my teeth. "Your turning red again. Was I great?" Jacob teased.
"When we get to Italy, I'm buying you a ticket back." I snapped. "Whoa. Bella let's not be irrational." Jacob said. "Just admit that you dreamt about me and I'll drop it." Jacob proposed. "Fine. Yes I did dream about you." I confessed timidly. "I knew it! Was this the first dream you've had about me?" Jacob asked.
"Which one was your favorite?" Jacob questioned. I glared at Jacob causing him to turn around. "Thank you." I hissed. "Please fasten you seat belts. The plane will be landing shortly." The pilot told us. Jacob held my hand as the plane began to shake.
"We are experiencing turbulence. Please remain calm." The flight attendant said. "Jake." I squeezed his hand tightly as the plane continued to shake. "We're ok." I said in a shaky voice.
I squeezed my eyes shut. "We'll be fine." Jacob said. I held his arm tightly as the plane prepared for landing. "We will be landing momentarily." The pilot stated.
It wasn't long till the plane had finally landed. My heart was beating out of control. "Bella. We've landed. Just breathe." Jacob told me. "Ok." I replied as my eyes remained closed. Jacob chuckled as he lifted my chin. I opened eyes slowly.
"Bells. You really are a scared cat." Jacob teased playfully. I grabbed my packpack and followed Jacob off the plane. "We should get something to eat." Jacob suggested. "Uh. Yeah that sounds good." I replied.
Truth was I felt at ease. I would see Edward and everything would be right again. "Let's go." I smiled
