Here is my first attempt at a Twilight story. It's a Bella/Jacob story, because, well, I like them together. Let me know what you think!


His fist came down on the table again. "We both know what's really going on here, Bella, and it's no good for you." He took a deep breath. "It's been months. No calls, no letters, no contact. You can't keep waiting for him." [Chapter 4, Waking Up – p 97 – New Moon]

Charlie's voice still rang through my head. That had been quite a long time ago when he said that. Or maybe not, maybe a lot had just happened since then. I feel more alive now that I had then. I have a new best friend, who happens to turn into a wolf, the whole wolf pack is starting to trust me more, and I am even starting to feel the pain less. That, was due to Jacob. He was one of the best friends I could ask for. He kept at it. He never gave up on me. He was convinced that one day I would be happy again. And when I was with him, I was.

I was in La Push, again, today. Jacob, my best friend, was patrolling and I was walking the beach. I loved it here. I loved the way the water crashed on the rocks, spraying my face just a little bit. I sat down against a tree and just stared at the waves. I sat there for about five minutes when someone sat down beside me. At first, I thought it was Jake but then I realized that Jake would be emitting heat and wouldn't be as small as the person next to me.

I turned to look and found Emily sitting beside me. Emily was Sam's fiancée. Sam was the Alpha of the pack and the first one that phased. None of the pack could disobey a direct order from the Alpha.

"The water's amazing, isn't it?" she asked.

"Yeah, it is. I love it."

Emily was one of the nicest people, beside Jake, that I had met out here. She had scars on her face from an accident caused by her fiancée when he was a wolf. But she didn't care, he was her soul mate. That's another thing about the pack. They do something called imprinting, which is supposed to be rare, but is turning out more common that originally thought. Sam had imprinted on Emily when she was visiting her cousin, Leah. Leah was Sam's girlfriend. There's still some bad blood over that because Leah isn't allowed to know about the wolves or imprinting. Only the actual pack, their imprintees, and the council can know. I got lucky, I guessed.

"I am really glad you are spending time with Jake. The phasing got to him a lot at first. He didn't want it. And then he couldn't talk talk to you or see you...I am glad the two of you found a loop hole around Sam's orders."

I smiled. I couldn't imagine not being able to see my Jake anymore.

"It was a tough time for me too. Jake keeps me whole. He keeps me from falling apart. He wraps me in warmth like I have my own sun. My own personal sun. He makes me happy."

"You should tell him that. He would be thrilled to know that. Let's go back to my place. The boys will be back and they will be hungry. Since they phased, their appetites have grown the way they have. Plus, Jake will be there. And he will want to see you. He always wants to see you."

I smiled again, a blush rising to my cheeks. Jacob had made it plenty clear to everyone that he liked me as more than just a friend. Of course, he really couldn't help it. When the pack was in wolf form, they could read what the others were thinking. According to Quil, Embry, Jared, and Paul it was hard for him to not think about me. Thank God that Sam didn't mention anything. Though he must have told Emily.

"Does Jacob tell you that?"

"He doesn't have to. I know what love looks like, Bella, and that's all it is. He is in love with you. I actually think he might have imprinted on you. But he would never tell you that. He wants you to love him for him."

"Did he really imprint on me?"

"I don't know. He doesn't think so, at least that's what he tells all the guys. Don't worry Bella."

Emily got up and reached for my hand, helped me up, and we headed back to her house. I was now very nervous.


Okay, now that you have read it, please review!!! It's my first one in this so I don't know how I did, but if you have any suggestions let me know!
