Chapter 1
BPOV
I sat there wide eyed and guilty as hell. I held on to the sheet, my nails digging
into the material hoping this was all some kind of bad dream.
He looked down at me his eyes open just like mine. His whole face mirrored
mine. You could see the tension build in his arms. His fist griping on to the door
handle, trying to free some of the anger that no doubt swam through his veins.
I was regretful, I was ashamed, I was penitent.
But I wasn't sorry.
His eyes filled me with sorrow at everything that had happened, everything I had
done, everything he was seeing.
But I wasn't sorry.
I could never try or ever would be sorry for any part of it.
Five months and two weeks earlier
23rd of September
I stood up looking at the building; it was old, classic and beautiful. The dark red
stone made its presence even more unmistakable as it drew you in with its
arched windows and entrances. The main entrance with the half a dozen stairs
leading to it's opening was grand and almost majestic in its appearance.
"You ready?" I heard him call as I looked up from where I stood, next to my
beaten up red truck. The exact opposite of the definitions I would have used to
describe the building but some how it felt like the two some how matched in
there differences. I loved my truck and looking up at the halls that would become
my new home I knew I loved being here already.
I nodded as I turned to the back of my truck, pulling at the protective water proof
cover that coved my belongings and trying to lift out one of the bags.
"Bells, I'll get that, it looks like it could carry you in it." He laughed and I joined in
knowing that it probably could do.
He walked around to my side pulling it out with ease and slinging it over his
shoulder just like he had done with me many a time while joking around or the
once I decided to get drunk on my own after a huge fall out over something
ridiculous with Charlie and he took me to his place while I sobered up and threw
up while praying to god to 'let me just die already'.
Jacob
One word and it was everything to me.
I had known Jake for two years and we had been together for one year and
eleven months. Ever since I had moved to Forks to live with my dad, to give my
newly wed mother some real honeymoon time I knew she craved with her
husband, we had been side by side.
He was a year younger than me but It never made a blind bit of difference, he
was care free and often pulling me into ridiculous ideas like cliff diving. We had
even built up two old motorbikes together and would often speed through miles
and miles of field buy the reservation. There were many trips that was needed to
emergency after I had small collisions with nothing but the air in front of me. I
was a little clumsy to say the least.
This year Jake would finish school and next year he would go to college or look
for a job that would teach him on becoming a mechanic. It's what he loved and if
it made him happy it made me happy. It was going to be tough but we would
survive. We had mobiles, e-mail, and we could still travel the three hours it took
from Seattle to Forks to see each other. We would be fine. We could withstand
anything.
At least that's what I told myself.
We walked through the long corridor with a piece of paper in my hand looking for
my room. 323 was my new room number. It was located on the third floor along
the far end, the door opposite was marked 324. I opened it up slowly, half
excited and half terrified at what I would find behind it.
There was a small pixie like girl with black spiky hair stood with a wide smile on
her face greeting me with a hug as soon as I entered the room.
"Hi, I'm Alice." She beamed proudly and excited as she bounced on the soles of
her feet. I liked her already. Her energy was infectious.
"Hi, I'm Bella." I hugged her gently back a little in shock but definitely not
opposed to the friendly contact.
She pulled back from me glancing up at Jake. "This is Jake, my boyfriend." I
waved a hand in his direction. "He's also the great guy that will climb all the stair
with my stuff while I pretend to look busy at unpacking." I smiled up at him
jokingly fluttering my eyelashes at him
She laughed. "I don't have a boyfriend to do that for me so instead I talked my
brother into doing it for me. He can carry the heavy stuff, I'm tiny, I barley
manage to carry along my own purse never mind all the stuff I brought here with
me."
She was right she must have been about half a foot shorter than me and I was
pretty small. I wasn't lying when I said she was like a pixie.
"So what side do you want?" She asked as she stood with a bag at her feet in the
middle of the room.
"Any, I don't mind." I shrugged.
"Oh thank god, I waited in case I had to share with some demanding 'daddy's
little princess' who had to sleep on the left cause her Tai Chi instructor said so."
She let out flatly with her running a hand through the end of her hair.
We laughed, "I think you mean 'Feng shui'" Jake corrected.
"Whatever." She waived with another laugh while rolling here eyes. "I'll take the
left then." She joked raising her eyebrows up then down but still threw her bag
down on to the bed.
I threw down the bag on to the bed on the right and threw myself down on to it
too. "You know, it would be super great if you could get that big box for me that's
in the truck." I smiled sweetly at Jake.
He rolled his eyes at me and nodded like I knew he would. And with that he was
back out the door.
"He seems nice." Alice eyed me up from the over side of the room.
I nodded in response still gazing at the door from where he had just left before I
faced her. "He's great." I smiled at her but knowing how much I was going to
miss him.
"How long have you two been together?" She asked me, not being nosey, but
friendly, getting to know me.
"Almost two years now." I thought of proudly.
She nodded "Wow, that's a long time and he still gives you that look. Aww to
have a nice man look at me like that..." she sighed
I smiled shyly at her before quickly breaking away my glance to my lap pulling a
piece of hair behind my right ear.
"It's good to see." She let out slightly more serious but truthful in her words.
"Here is bag number two." A huge muscular looking guy walked in throwing the
bag down in the floor while letting out a small moan. He looked like he could be a
football player. And knock them all on to there backs.
"Ah don't kid yourself, it's light as a feather for you, I've seen the way you throw
Rose around." She reached for the huge bag before pulling on the zip and began
raking through its contents placing clothes down at the side of her and on the
edge of the bed. "This is my brother Emmett by the way." She nodded in his
direction losing her interest to her bag.
"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Bella." I reached out my hand and shook his.
"Nice to meet you Bella." He smiled down at me. You could tell that the two were
related; his hair was brown but only by a few degrees lighter than Alice's black
locks and the same energy buzzed from them. Excitable, child like and care free.
It was a good energy to be around and only made me feel more relaxed than I
already was. It felt like home already.
"Looking forward to the start of school?" he asked and completely interested.
"Yeh, it's going to be great. I can't wait for it. I just can't wait to get into a new
routine" I said as I felt the bubbles of excitement swell in my gut at my new life.
"What do you do?" I asked him resting my chin on my hand as I looked up at him
from my bed.
"I go here too, so does my girlfriend, Rosalie, we live together about fifteen
minutes off of campus. I'm going into my second year of Architecture. It's good,
it's a good school. " He tells me sure of himself easing any worry I had about
starting my lessons.
"Yeh his ever suffering girlfriend." There was a tall blonde that spoke from behind
him pushing him further into the room making him almost fall over the bag he sat
at his feet that Alice was still rifling through. "Hi, I'm Rosalie." She smiles warmly
at me holding out her hand for me to shake.
"Bella." I tell her smiling at her shaking her hand.
"Nice to meet the person that has the nerves to put up with this one for a year."
She jokes.
"You love me really, Rose." Alice chips in from her crouched pose on the floor
before sticking out her tongue at Rosalie.
"I love you, I just couldn't live with you." She teases more. "Seriously this girl is
constantly on the go. I mean Emmett has some energy," she smiles at her
boyfriend slyly "but her," she points at Alice "she just goes on and on. She's a
total pain on the ass." Rolling her eyes, half joking and I think half serous; either
way you can tell they are close by her tone.
"Ok, I managed the rest of your stuff." Jake let out a groan as he sets down the
box and another bag that I forgot all about as he came back into the room
meeting the other two. "Hi, I'm Jake." He gives a small salute to Emmett and
Rosalie.
"Emmett." "Rosalie." They both call out one after another.
"So you were the one drafted in for the heavy work?" Emmett gives a small
knowing smile to Jake.
"Yeh, something like that. Someone had to make sure she got here in one piece."
"Hey, fresh start, clumsiness left back in Forks thank you very much." I jokingly
scaled him and give him a small slap with the back of my hand to his torso as I
stood up.
"Bells, the bad news is that it's never going to leave you, sorry to be the one to
tell you." He wraps an arm around me pulling me into his warm chest kissing the
top of my head.
It's her I realize that I won't have this every day, I wont have him sneaking into
my bedroom anymore, I won't have him catch me as I stumble through everyday
life. His warmth, his charm, his ability to make me laugh when I feel like I could
cry, will be gone. I don't know how I will survive without him here. We have been
together side by side for so long it will feel like I've lost a limb or a vital organ.
My heart
I suddenly feel myself tear up. I feel my eyes glaze up and my grip on him
tightens. "You ok?" he whispers into my ear, knowing and with that I break, I pull
my face into his chest and cling on for dear life.
"Well I still have a bag to bring up..." I hear Emmett speak before I hear Alice's
sing song voice saying she will join him and Rosalie following behind them as
they disappear out the room leaving the two of us alone.
As the door closes Jake pulls me down onto the bed peeling me off of his form
and tilting my head up until my eyes meet his.
"Hey." He whispers out.
"Hey." I reply back.
"You gonna be ok?" He asks with concern laced in his voice.
I nod. "I'm just going to miss you." I said while I wipe a stray tear from my face.
"Yeh, well I'm going to miss you too but I can visit and I'll call you every day." He
promised me.
I nod meekly again. "Just promise this wont change anything. It's only one year,
we can do this." I let out little above a whisper.
"Listen Bella, it won't change anything," he defiantly shakes his head at the
thought of this ever parting us. "we can do this. I love you" His large warm hands
grip my face and pull me into his lips with his positive attitude radiating through
me warming me to my core.
"Your right, I mean it will suck, but we can do this. We love each other. That's all
that matters that all that counts." I reach to his lips letting the moment consume
us with both our grief for the moment but hope for the future.
"Is it safe?" I hear Emmett's booming voice from the other side of the door.
"Emmett…" I hear Alice chide her brother also from the other said of the door.
The door opens and Alice's head pops around the corner with her bright smile as
her spikes bounce around the side of her head. "All sorted?" she asks as she
glances at Jacobs and I, laying along the length of the bed as I nod and begin to
pull myself up with Jake's strong arm toying with me keeping me in my place.
"Jake." I let out with a little chuckle as I slap his arm away pulling myself up and
him joining me as the three of them come bounding back in to me and Alice's
new room.
"I'm sorry." Rosalie begins. "This must be really hard for you Bella." She smiles a
small sweet smile in my direction. "We are all lucky we have our family and
friends around us." I feel a pang of jealousy at her words but I know that she
doesn't mean for it to sound like that. "Anytime you need someone, were here."
She shrugged knowing that it wouldn't be what I want but maybe just what I
need. She placed a shielding hand at the side of her mouth and whispered "Even
if it's just to get away from this one." She rolled her eyes in the direction of Alice
with a cheeky grinning smile.
"I heard that." Alice lets out loudly and flatly.
"Oh you did…That's too bad." Rosalie's sarcastic tone is fun and makes me laugh.
"Thanks, I'll remember that." I promise her.
