Y/N Swan daughter of Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer. She was two years younger than Bella and was in her Junior year of high school. Bella had already graduated from highschool and left forks with her boyfriend Jacob leaving her single father behind. Y/N had arrived a few days later and she had run up to her father before hugging him tightly. "I missed you so much kiddo" Charlie said as he hugged his youngest daughter. He pulled away and looked down at Y/N to see her hair was dyed a dark purple color and she had a nose piercing. "Well you sure have grown" he said as he ruffled Y/N's hair up. "Come on dad don't do that" Y/N grumbled out as she swatted his hand off before fixing her hair. "Still a grump though I see" he said before picking up Y/N's suitcases and walking into the house. Y/N followed him in and shut the door behind her. "Your room is still the same I hope you don't mind that" Charlie said as the two made their way upstairs. "No I don't mind" Y/N said as they walked to her room. Charlie set the suitcases down before opening Y/N's door. "Y/N walked in and looked around the room.

"I'll let you settle in then we'll go to the diner alright" Charlie said and Y)N nodded. "Thanks dad" Y/N said as she kissed her father's cheek before shutting the door. She walked over and flopped onto the bed sighing as she rolled onto her back. She looked up at the ceiling before sitting back up. She criss-crossed her legs before looking around the room smiling.
Y/N walked into school the next day looking at her schedule when she heard someone speak to her. "You're Y/N Swan right" a boy said causing Y/N to look up. "Yeah I am" Y/N said and the boy smiled before holding his hand out. "I'm Eric" the boy said and Y/N just smiled. "Well it's nice to meet you" Y/N said and the boy rubbed the back of his neck. "Guessing you don't like contact much" he said and Y/N just stayed silent and went back to looking at her schedule.
It was lunch time now and Y/N was sitting at a table with Eric and his friends when she felt two pairs of eyes on her. She looked up and over her shoulder to see five people sitting at a far table. The two women were looking at Y/N already causing her face to flush before she looked away. "Who are those five" Y/N said causing the group to look at her before she motioned towards the far table. "Oh those are the Cullen's the black haired boy is Emmett Cullen he's so hot, the blonde haired boys name is Jasper Hale the brown haired boys name is Edward Cullen and the two girls Rosalie Hale & Alice Cullen their dating each other" Jessica said and Y/N looked back over to see the two woman staring at her but with slight smirks this time. Alice had looked Y/N up and down before looking at Rosalie who looked back at her.
Tumblr media
"Y/N" Angela said snapping her fingers in front of Y/N's face causing her to snap out of it. She looked back over at her friends to see them all looking at her already. "What were you saying" Y/N said and they all sighed. As her friends went back to talking she glanced back over quickly to see them all looking at her now causing her to whip her head back.
"I crave you in the most innocent form" Rosalie said as she stepped towards Y/N who was standing in the middle of the room. "I crave to say good night and give you forehead kisses and to say that I adore you when you feel at your worst" Alice said as she put her hands on Y/N's shoulders causing her to jump slightly at the cold contact. "I crave you in ways where I just want to be next to you and nothing more or less" the both of them said as Rosalie stopped in front of Y/N and leaned in while grabbing Y/N's hands with her cold one's causing Y/N to shiver. Rosalie's lips touched Y/N's before she gasped. She looked around the room and realized she was in her bedroom in her bed. She touched her forehead and she felt sweat making her rub her arm across it. "What the hell was that I've never had a dream like that before and why the hell did I dream about those two" Y/N muttered out as she stroked her hands through her dark purple hair. She fell back onto her bed and looked up at the ceiling. She sighed before getting out of bed and walked towards her computer desk.
Tumblr media
The next day at Lunch Y/N waited by the door the Cullens had walked in through the day before. The group stopped when they saw Y/N standing there waiting. She pushed herself off the wall and looked at them. "What are you doing here" Edward said and was about to walk towards Y/N but Rosalie stopped him with a hand against his chest. "I want to know why you guys were staring at me all day yesterday at Lunch" Y/N muttered out. Rosalie and Alice looked at each other before looking back at Y/N. "We don't have to give you a reason on why we were staring at you and it's our business" Rosalie said with an annoyed tone causing Y/N to roll her eyes. "Now if you'll excuse" Rosalie said before the group walked past her. Y/N huffed before looking through the glass windows to see her friends looking at her. She groaned before rushing up to the group and grabbed Rosalie's wrist. The two froze in place when Y/N realized Rosalie's skin was cold to the touch. Rosalie froze since she never let anybody touch her except her family. "Get your hand off of me" Rosalie growled out as she turned her head. Y/N immediately let go and looked away.
Y/N was at the salad and fruit bar in the cafeteria when she dropped on apple. She looked up to see Emmett standing there holding the apple in his hand while grinning. "What you did just a couple minutes ago was brave" he said as he held the apple out. Y/N slowly took it and smiled up at him since he was pretty tall. "T-thanks I guess" Y/N said and Emmett nodded before grabbing a pear and walking away. Y/N watched as he sat down before he was hit on the back of the head by Rosalie causing Y/N to giggle quietly.
When Y/N got home she immediately went to her room and shut the door behind her before going to her computer. She searches through the internet for hours until Charlie knocked on the door. "Y/N dear come down and eat will you" her father said and Y/N looked at the door before looking back at the computer. "I'll be down in a minute" Y/N shouted and a couple seconds later she heard her father's footsteps disappear. She looked back at the computer and sighed. She was about to close it when she saw a weird website in the search history. She decided to click on it and he eyes widened in shock. She scrolled through the website and saw some words like Cold-skinned, pale, incredible speed, enhanced strength. When she scrolled all the way to the bottom she gulped. Vampire.
Y/N had stayed far away from them after that. Y/N was sitting outside in the gloomy weather. It was foggy and the sun wasn't out. Ever since Y/N had grabbed Rosalie's wrist that day she has been acting weird. "Rosalie why don't you go talk to her" Emmett said as he slightly shoved the blonde forward. "No" she growled out as she hit him in the chest. "She's looking this way" Edward said and Rosalie as well as Alice looked up to see Y/N looking at them. She looked away before grabbing her bag and headed towards the woods. "Go go follow her" Emmett said shoving the two stubborn girls towards Y/N. They both glared at Emmett but he just looked at them causing them to huff. The two went after Y/N and Emmett smiled. "You owe me 30 bucks" he said as he looked at Edward. Jasper looked between the two before rolling his eyes as Edward slapped a 30 dollar bill into Emmett's hands. "Did you really have to bet against them" he said and the two looked at him. "Loosen up brother it's called entertainment you should really try it instead of being quiet all the time and reading" Edward said as he snatched the book out of Jasper's hands.
The two followed Y/N into the forest and stopped when Y/N stopped while dropping her bag to the ground. "You're impossibly fast and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold" Y/N said not daring to turn around. You don't go out in the sunlight" Y/N said as she felt a breath fan across Y/N's neck causing her to gulp. "How old are you" Y/N continued. "We're both 19" Alice said as she stepped in front of Y/N "How long have you been 19" Y/N said still not looking at the two. "A while" Rosalie muttered out as her breath fanned across Y/N's neck from standing too close. "I know what you are" Y/N muttered out and the two looked at each other before their eyes darkened. "Say It" Rosalie growled out causing Y/N to gulp. Y/N stayed quiet for a couple minutes. "Out Loud. Say It" She said and Y/N breathed in and out. "Vampires" Y/N said as she finally looked up to see Alice standing right in front of her.

Why Are You Wearing My Sweater (Because It Smells Like You) - Bella x Jacob - Prompt Response
Tumblr media
A/N: A little something I wrote in response to a prompt from @sydnee-kom-spacekru fluff prompt list #33. Set somewhere in Eclipse.
“Why are you wearing my sweater?” “Because it smells like you.”
A huge thank you to my beta Em! You rock, girl!
<-->
Jake jumped out of the shower and hurried to dress himself. Bella would be arriving at the beach in ten minutes, and it would take him five to make it there and welcome her. 
He knew that she was nervous, that she wasn’t one for social gatherings, but this was the only time he could hope to have with her. The bloodsucker that dominated her time and space ensured that any moments Jake could have with Bella had to either be chaperoned by himself or others, and all because of the kiss that...went horribly wrong. 
Jake winced at the memory, but the wince was mitigated by the warmth that suffused his chest at the thought of Bella’s soft lips against his. He wished he could have a do-over of that moment, that he hadn’t let his fear get the better of him. To top it all off, Bella regretted the kiss just as much as he did... And then she had broken her hand against his face. 
Jake almost wished that he wasn’t so sturdy, that he could have absorbed the full brunt of the blow instead of her frail fingers. The memory of hearing her bones crack with his acute hearing, and then the wail of pain erupting from the mouth he’d been yearning to kiss for months -- both noises made him feel queasy.
He pushed the thought out of his brain, shaking his head to clear it so he could continue getting ready. He was determined to be on his best behavior, to show the girl he loved that she had a choice, any other choice than that . An image of Bella with red eyes and pale marble skin haunted his dreams as well as his waking moments, and Jake sighed heavily. “Stop. Get it together, Jake.”
No, tonight he was determined to do better, to be comfortable with her and show her how easy it was just to be Jake and Bells once more. He had made a rookie mistake that was tinged with sadness and regret as Embry had pointed out during Jake’s incessant replays of the kiss. Now, all he could do was be what she needed, while also hoping beyond hope to change her mind. Tonight was for them, even if they were surrounded by his pack members as per the leech’s request, otherwise Bella wouldn’t have been allowed to see her best friend. He swallowed the bile collecting at the back of his throat and forced back the building fury at the memory of the leech’s words, relayed to him by Sam who had spoken with the doc. Jake had been furious at first, with both the leech and Bella for readily giving her beloved tick full permission to control her life, but eventually, he agreed to play nice. For her sake, if for nothing else. He would do anything to see her, spend time with her, to keep her alive…
Jake shook his head again and opened a drawer, searching for the last item he needed for tonight’s bonfire. When the article of clothing he sought wasn’t there, his brows furrowed in confusion. He opened other drawers, looked through his closet, tore through his laundry hamper, searched high and low, but failed to find it. The sound of a horrifically loud truck engine roared down the road and one glance at the clock prompted him to give up his quest, shrug his shoulders, and head out the door. It wasn’t like the cold would affect him anyway; he was only trying to keep any passersby from asking one too many questions, but he was good at thinking on the fly. If anyone asked, he’d come up with something, no big deal.
Jake jogged towards the beach, making it there with just a minute to spare. Sure enough, Bella’s monster of a truck pulled into the parking lot and quickly came to a smooth stop. When the engine cut off, Jake felt sympathy towards his pack, sure that they were relieved at the resounding silence. Jake would never tell Bella just how much The Beast, as she affectionately called it, bothered their sensitive ears. 
When Bella gave him a shy wave from the cab, he beamed and loped over to open the door for her. Before she had a moment to think, Jake had her up in his arms and buried his nose into her hair, breathing deeply. He relaxed when he only detected the vanilla shampoo she used, something that smelled strangely like a new book, and…was that lasagna? He would never admit it to anyone but her clean human scent was his favorite scent in the world. It was all her. “Hey, Bells.”
“Jake,” she murmured and lifted a timid hand to the back of his head for a moment before letting go. “Can’t...breathe.”
He immediately released her and dropped back a step, clasping her elbow gently to help steady her. “Right, sorry,” he whispered sheepishly. Bella’s pink lips elevated slowly into a small genuine smile as her brown eyes stared into his. His breath caught in his throat and he was unable to look away. He loved this girl, he loved her very being... So why couldn’t he just imprint on her already?  
“Hey,” she whispered back, her quiet tone coated in sincere pleasure at seeing him. 
Jake’s heart felt as if it would beat out of his chest. How could one word, one smile bring him to his knees like this? How the hell could she not be his imprint when she was his entire world and he would do anything for her? And how could she not know for herself that she loved him when he could see it clear as day upon her beautiful face when she looked at him like this?
A rousing cry of “Oh, vampire girl’s here! Bring her over here, Jake! I’ve got the tick spray!” from Quil broke the moment they had been in, making them both glance over to see Jake’s best former friend grinning wide with a clear spray bottle in hand along with everyone else watching, that idiot Paul heartily laughing. Jake shot Ateara a glare, sending him a silent promise that the chocolate-colored wolf would pay for his interruption later, before swinging his eyes back to Bella. She rolled her eyes but a good-natured smile settled onto her heart-shaped face. It made Jake smile in turn, his annoyance forgotten. “Ready to mingle with idiots?”
Bella snorted and shut her door. “Oh yeah, I’m used to it by now.” She then let out a quiet laugh at the loud, playfully indignant “Hey’s!” coming from Embry and Seth in unison. 
Jake reached out a hand and Bella took it without question, making Jake’s smile bigger, and that was when he noticed it. He froze, taking in the dark blue hoodie that covered the top half of the girl whose hand was in his, looking four sizes too big for her. The very hoodie that he had been trying to locate just a few minutes earlier but failed to find. She noticed his intense scrutiny and nervously bit her lip. “What?”
Trying his best to recover from the shock, Jake lifted their joined hands and pointed at the shirt. “Is that… Is that my hoodie?”
Bella glanced down quickly, her cheeks starting to tinge a slight pink, the sight making Jake’s heart beat just that much faster. Her teeth dug further into her bottom lip. “Um...yeah…?”
Jake gave an imperceptible nod and started moving them towards the bonfire. Bella seemed to relax slightly as she intertwined their fingers. He felt as if he was about to jump out of his skin, and not in the I’m-going-to-explode-into-a-werewolf type of way; lately, she had been doing that more and more, and he could swear she wasn’t even aware of the action. She seemed to subconsciously lean towards him as they entered the path that would bring them down to the pack. 
His thoughts raced but he did his best to keep up a casual front, to act as if this was nothing more than just an easygoing stroll between best friends. “So...why are you wearing my hoodie, Bells?”
He expected her to give him a defensive response, to freeze and keep her eyes down, to offer to give it back to him. Instead, she did the last thing he ever expected. Bella gave a half-shrug, her eyes on the beach in front of them, and admitted, “Because it smells like you.”
Jake smothered a smile, refusing to allow his surprise to be made known, because if Bella happened to see the effect her words had on him, she’d most likely attempt to backtrack what she had spoken with shocking honesty. The last thing Jake wanted was for her to feel as if she couldn’t be honest with him, and so he was going to purposely ignore the large elephant on the trodden path before them in the hopes that she wouldn’t rethink her candid words. He focused instead on giving her fingers a gentle squeeze. “I’m glad you’re wearing it. It’s going to be a cold one tonight.”
Her gaze stared off into space and she let out a sad murmur of, “Yeah.” Jake’s eyes focused on her profile, his brows scrunching up in concern. Before he could ask her what was wrong, she seemed to snap out of it and leaned in closer, gripping the tail of his T-shirt with her free hand to bury her fingers in. “So, I’ve decided that I’m older than you and I definitely win.”
Jake followed her lead and filed away his worries for a later conversation he would try to have with her before she left him again... Back to the leeches she called a family, back to what was essentially frozen death in his eyes. He couldn’t help but chuckle at her beaming smile and pulled her in closer, giving her shoulder a squeeze. “And how’s that?”
A wicked gleam settled into the eyes that he so often got lost in. “I’m mingling with idiots, that definitely gives me more points.”
More “hey!”s sounded from around the fire.
He let out a laugh. “I don’t think so. You said you were used to it up there, which means it’s already part of your skillset and you don’t get any extra points. I’m still older. Better luck next time, Swan.”
Bella also laughed at the guys’ reactions and shook her head. “I’m going to surpass you one of these days, Black. You just wait. One day, I will be older than you. I’ll be in my 40’s,” she promised smugly.
Jake’s smile lost some of its wattage when she turned to address Quil’s loud greeting ahead of them. He released her hand and pulled her against his side, unable to keep any more distance between them in that moment. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and rubbed her arm as they continued their trek. 
He only let her go when they reached the rest of the pack. He gave her a warm smile as Emily pulled her into a hug before Quil could grab her. He watched as she spoke with his brothers, laughing at Embry’s roasting remarks of Paul who promptly replied with a one finger salute. He remembered her words, a sad tendril weeding itself throughout his brain, as he took in her wide grin and the comfort and happiness emanating from her as she teased Seth right along with the guys about a recently formed crush on a girl in his class. With an aching despair, Jake realized just how deeply her casual words clung to his very insides. “One day, I will be older than you. I’ll be in my forties.” As he watched her giggle at Quil running away with the spray bottle and Paul gaining on him with a wet and thunderous glare, the rapidly forming lump in his throat took hold. God, Bells, I really hope you will be.

Slow Dance
Bella x Jacob | AU - No Cullens Word Count: 2,645 | Rating: G, no warnings Summary: At her father's insistence, Bella agrees to go to prom with an old friend. A/N: I think this is my favorite one so far. 💘 Written for day three of my February writing challenge previous | next (18+) Read on AO3
It started with Charlie, of all people.
“I just wanna make sure you’re not missing out on anything,” he’d told me, as if that would be enough of an explanation to cool my rage. I still don’t know what he was thinking, arranging for me to go to prom without even asking me first.
“I just can’t believe you’d do something like this. It’s my life! It’s not fair!” I hadn’t yelled at my dad like that since I was a kid and I knew how petulant I sounded as the words left my mouth.
The argument we had that night two weeks ago had been fiery and, ultimately, pointless. Part of his plan had been to find a date for me — because I certainly wasn’t going to ask anyone myself — which led him right to the door of an old friend. Jake was more than happy to accompany me to prom, and with someone else so excitedly involved… well, I couldn’t slam the brakes on the whole operation now, could I?
Now that the day is here though, I could imagine all the things I would rather be doing instead of dolling myself up. I could be rereading a book for the millionth times. I could be doing laundry. Researching colleges to apply to in the fall. Talking to Mom on the phone, thanking her over and over for never putting me in a situation like this.
As I finish curling my hair, I stare at myself in my bathroom mirror, harshly, critically. A medium-sized burn radiates heat and blooms brightly on my neck beneath my left ear. My makeup, painstakingly applied on my own, will certainly pale in comparison to the other girls I’ll see, who I’m sure went to a department store to have it done by a professional. So unused to formal clothing, I decided I would put my dress and shoes on before starting on my face and hair, just so I could get comfortable in it, but now my feet are aching and my body itches everywhere the fabric touches.
My dad better hope this will all be worth it.
“You almost done, Bells?” Charlie calls from the living room. “You kids’ll need to leave soon.”
“Be down in a minute,” I yell back as I yank the curling iron’s cord from the wall. I run my fingers through my hair, spraying some hairspray in short bursts like Mom taught me. Some of the strands still clump together, but overall it’s not my worst attempt.
I take a step back and really take it all in, looking between the sink mirror and the full-length mirror on the bathroom door. When I picked out my prom dress, I’d been feeling very dramatic and angry, only a couple days off from my argument with Charlie. I chose a black velvet dress that sweeps the floor and hugs my body in a way I’m not entirely comfortable with now. In the store, I liked the deep, dark purple floral pattern that covered it, but in this dingy lighting, it looks too much like old lady wallpaper. This all goes without mentioning the thin straps and the low neckline — I really don’t know what I’d been thinking.
Honestly though, I don’t look too different than I normally do. Kind of. Maybe a little paler than usual while wearing such dark colors. And the black eyeliner is a little intense…
Oh boy.
I brush my hair over my shoulders, partly covering my face, and hope that’s enough to make me feel more like myself; at least I have a place to hide.
“Are you trying to skip out on taking pictures with me?” Jake yells up the stairs. “Because I think you might get your wish.”
“Shut up, I’m ready!” I laugh, and it’s enough to finally get me to leave the bathroom.
Here goes nothing.
//
I didn’t get to avoid having my picture taken. Charlie and Billy snapped a couple of Jake and I in the living room, a candid one as he tied the corsage around my wrist and one of us posed, our arms loosely around each other’s waists. My smile felt strained in spite of my best efforts, but Jake exuded such confidence that I’m sure the photos will turn out at least half alright.
And though we pull into the venue’s parking lot a few minutes after prom had kicked off, we still manage to catch the photographer as he takes pictures of the couples going into the building. Once again, I can only guess how the photo will turn out, how much of an evident contrast there will be between Jake and I simply because he’s more comfortable in his own skin than I could ever imagine being myself.
“I’m surprised Forks High was willing to shell out the money for a place like this,” Jake says lowly, so close that his breath tickles my ear. I shiver, then sweep my hair over my shoulder, a curtain of separation.
I turn my head, leaning in so I can speak just as quietly.
“My friend Jess told me the prom committee had to do a lot of fund raising. It looks great, though.” Apparently, it had taken an unreasonable amount of convincing for the school board to approve a Paris-themed prom at a local private venue instead of using the school gym like every other year. Somehow, they pulled it off.
“Is this anything like the dances back in Arizona?” he asks, nudging my side with his elbow.
I smile up at him. “I wouldn’t know.”
Then I take a step away from him as I lead him toward the table my friends are seated at near the DJ booth.
Ever since I walked down the stairs at my house, I’ve noticed a difference in Jake.
He hasn’t said too much about the way I look, which is both a relief and a worry. A relief because I don’t want any attention drawn to myself, but I worry because I still feel like I look ridiculous.
At first sight, all he did was smile that broad smile of his and say, “Nice dress.”
Which Charlie followed up with, “Kind of showy, though,” before I could respond.
I could feel how red I turned as I stood at the base of the stairs, arms crossed over my chest.
Eventually, Billy said consolingly, “You look very nice, Bella,” and I mumbled, “Thanks,” and then we moved on to the exchange of flowers.
Since then though, Jake has found every reason to be much closer to me than he ever has been. When he speaks, it’s soft and close to my ear. When I move, he moves as if he’s a shadow, attached to me. Each time I stumble — an inevitable thing when I wear nice shoes, no matter how short the heel is — he grabs my arm or waist and balances me again, whether or not I need the help.
It’s new. It’s… interesting. I try to maintain a little distance, but it doesn’t feel right to tell him to back off. He’s not bothering me or anything.
“Well, well, well, look who it is!” Mike says as Jake and I walk up to the table. He has an arm slung over Jessica’s shoulder, but I catch the quick elevator glance he gives me. Sometimes I want to smack him. “Bella and… uh, the La Push guy. What’s your name again?”
I open my mouth to respond, but I’m beat to the punch.
“It’s Jacob.” As he speaks, Jake pulls out a chair then gestures for me to sit down. I take the seat, blessedly next to Angela. She smiles excitedly at me, tells me she loves my dress and hair, and her infectious energy has me smiling back and complimenting her, too.
“Oh yeah, I totally forgot,” Mike says, though from the way he says it, it doesn’t really seem like he’d forgotten. “And how do you know Bella? I can’t remember.”
“Our dads are friends,” Jake replies as he sits down beside me. “We’ve known each other since we were kids.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Mike says, nodding as if he’s working through the information. “But it’s been a while since you’ve seen each other?”
I glance over at Jess to find she’s already looking at me. She seems just as confused as me, though I can tell by the hard line of her mouth that she wants Mike to stop talking. I hope she can see in my eyes that I want the same thing.
For his part, Jake appears unfazed. His hands are clasped on the table, the sleeves of his white button-up rolled to the elbows. He looks at Mike for a long moment, then says, “You don’t have a very good memory, do you?”
Mike scoffs, stammers a bit, looks around at the rest of us, but there’s no way for him to recover. Tyler and Lauren tease him openly while Jess drops her head into her hands. I try to hold my laughter in, covering my mouth with my hand, and I look over to see Angela doing the same.
“God, Mike, stop being weird,” Jess says, slapping his shoulder with her clutch. “Let’s dance.”
Then she drags him out of his seat as the opening notes of an upbeat pop song shake the room. Lauren and Tyler follow suit, leaving me to talk with Jake and Angela for a while. Now freed of any strange tension, it’s fun to joke around and people-watch with them. It’s easy to forget how much I’d been dreading this.
After a few songs, Angela leaves to join Eric at the DJ booth, and then it’s just Jake and I at the table, a comfortable silence settling between us.
I take a moment to really look at him for the first time tonight. His button-up and black dress pants are simple and well-worn. He didn’t wear a suit jacket and the deep purple tie he’d came in with as well as the boutonniere I’d pinned on him are now abandoned on the table. I look at his long, shiny hair and warm skin, and I’m struck with a sense of affection I can’t place.
I think back to days when we were kids on the pier of a lake, me running from him as he tried to put bait worms down the back of my shirt. I fought hard to put a stop to those summers in Forks with Charlie, but when I recounted the highlights from those years, Jake was there for most of them.
Maybe that’s where the flutter in my chest is coming from: it’s nice to remember someone so fondly and, years later, be fond of them still.
After a moment, Jake looks over at me, his grin widening when our eyes meet.
“Are you having a good time?” he asks, brows raised. He sounds a little skeptical.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”
“From what I’ve heard, you reeeeally don’t want to be here.”
I grimace, then shake my head, turning away from him.
“That’s true,” I mumble. “I don’t normally do things like this.”
He leans in toward me, close enough that he curls an arm around the back of my chair to support himself. Once again, I’m struck by his proximity. I can smell the cologne he’s wearing and I’ve only seen him a handful of times since coming back to Forks, so I have no way of knowing if he’s the type of guy that wears cologne all the time or if it’s just for tonight, but it’s masculine and warm.
“Do things like what?” he asks, and it takes my brain a moment to catch up to our conversation.
“Um, well, I don’t really get dressed up or go out with… people,” I say, flushing. “And I definitely don’t dance.”
He frowns, tilts his head. “Why not?”
I scoff. “I’m too much of a klutz for that. Plus, it’s not my thing.”
“Oh, c’mon,” he teases, giving my shoulder a gentle squeeze. I jump at the skin-on-skin contact. “How do you know it’s not your thing if you don’t try?”
“The klutz thing kind of answers that for me,” I respond. “Unless you want to see me flail all over the place.”
“You won’t flail all over the place.”
“You just want to point and laugh at me,” I tease, crossing my arms in a put-on huff. “And here I thought we were friends.”
He gives me a long look, his teeth digging into his lip. I wait for what he might say next, watching his mouth for his next joke. No other reason.
“I won’t laughing at you, Bella,” he says, his voice that same quiet, low tone, somehow perfectly audible despite the thumping of the music. “I promise.”
I don’t know what to say next, suddenly sharply focused on Jake’s hand, his cupping my shoulder, and his dark brown eyes and his cologne. Lost as I am, I’m aware that I don’t know what to make of this feeling at all. I’m never in situations like this with a boy. Every “date” I’ve been on has been slapped together for me, but this is the only time I’ve been relaxed enough to not look for a way out. Maybe it’s Jake’s natural affability, or maybe it’s the fact that I just know him, but my level of comfort makes me feel as if I’m about to shiver out of my seat. I hope I’m not actually shaking as much as I feel like I am.
Jake seems more alert than I am currently. His chin lifts and his eyes pull away from mine.
“Oh, here’s a good song,” he says. That’s when I hear the change that’s taken place: a slower tempo, a softer melody. Couples on the dance floor hold each other close and begin to sway back and forth.
Jake stands, holds out a hand to me.
“Come on,” he says, then smiles widely. “I won’t take no for an answer.”
I give him a half-glare, one without any ire behind it — I’m sure if I pressed the issue enough, he would back off — but I grab his hand and let myself be led away from my safe little corner.
In a choice that feels only slight purposeful, Jake stops near Mike and Jess, who are spinning in a tight, absent circle not looking at each other, then turns to face me. He places one hand on my waist while the other brushes my hair back over my shoulders, away from my face. It’s a move I don’t expect, my face flooding with heat.
When his other hand finds my waist, I place my hands on his shoulders and we begin to dance.
After a moment, he says, “See? No flailing.”
“We’re barely doing anything.”
“Were you expecting a waltz?”
“Maybe.”
He huffs a laugh, rolls his eyes. Then, in another move I don’t expect, he pulls me closer to him. I look up into his face, so kind and familiar. I feel the way his chest moves as he breathes, a inch of two away from mine. I don’t know how long this song has been playing or how many minutes are left in it, but time feels a little irrelevant all the sudden.
Jake opens his mouth with a quick breath, then closes it. I hum, give him a questioning look, but he shakes his head.
“What?” I ask, brows furrowed. I’ve never known him to second-guess something he wanted to say, at least to me.
He holds my gaze for a moment, grinning shyly.
“You look so beautiful tonight,” he says. Soft. Low.
The smile that grows on my face is hundred-watt, but I can’t help it.
“Thank you.”
“Of course.”
Perfect.

Chapter 6: Concordia
Tumblr media
   Over the next few days Edward stayed in his room, he didn't go to school for a few days, but I managed to convince him to go hunting with me once, he was much faster than Emmett, more agile and quieter, he was like a born hunter, I was impressed. It was one of the best hunts I've had, but it still didn't do much for him, he was quieter and more taciturn than usual. Esme talked to him a lot, I didn't want to intrude, but I know she gave him a lot of advice. Every day she would leave a different kind of tea on the table in her room, then I would go to mine and spend my time reading or listening to music, if I was quiet enough I could get into a state that reminded me of sleep, calm and serene.
     Today what was occupying my mind was my History homework, I went downstairs to the library and sat in one of the armchairs, read what I was supposed to do and looked at the shelves, I have no idea where to start, I sighed and looked at some books. I read a few and did some research on the laptop that was there, but I couldn't connect the information very well, I started writing the article with the little I had understood, after a few hours I had something to hand in, it didn't look very good, but it was something, Jasper was standing in the doorway.
___ You're very quiet - I said without looking at him - But the smell of your cologne is very distinctive.
___ I thank Alice for that, she chose it for me - he came closer and sat down not far from me - What are you writing with such a sulky face? - he asked genuinely, I explained that it was my history homework, he asked me to take a look, he read it all very quickly and handed it back to me - It's not bad, but it could be improved, do you want help?
___ Help is always welcome, share your knowledge the wise man of the mountain - I made a joke and he laughed. He indicated the points I should change and where I should add more information. Not long after, I had three pages and an impeccable piece of work - The great sage of the mountain, thank you so much for offering such knowledge - I bowed slightly and stood up - Would you like some tea to pay for your help? - I offered humbly, he laughed and accepted. We went into the kitchen in silence, Alice was there making hot chocolate and humming a lively tune, I took a teapot and put the water on to boil.
___ What are you doing? - she poured herself a cup and sat down at the kitchen counter.
___ The great sage of the mountain was helping me with my history homework, as I don't have any gold to pay for, I'm going to make tea - I replied casually, Alice laughed and Jasper came up to her and hugged her, they were very cute together, Jasper's curly blond hair was a contrast to Alice's straight, spiky black hair. I calmly made two cups of tea and served Jasper, who thanked me and leaned against the counter next to Alice. I leaned against the sink with my own cup and felt the warmth pass into my hand. The warm, sweet liquid was very welcome to me, and I noticed the dark blue cup I had left in Edward's room earlier, empty - Do you think he's all right? - I didn't need to name names to let them know who I was talking about.
___ Of course he is, he just needs some time, it may not have lasted long, but you know, we feel everything more intensely, pain, joy, sadness and love, it's not just our senses that have been sharpened, our feelings have been too - Alice replied calmly, she knew the extra affection I had for him, I was an open book in her eyes - You help him a lot, you don't let him feel so alone, we don't have the tact for that, you can get closer to Edward Taciturn.
     If the least I can do is help, then I'll continue. It's probably still early, so I washed the few dishes that were there, including those of the couple who were keeping me company. For the first time in days the piano sounded, a calm, light melody that conveyed tranquillity, Gymnopedie. I recognized the notes, it was the first song I'd been able to play on my own. I went to the door of his room, it was open, I leaned against the doorframe and closed my eyes, I'll never get tired of listening to him play. I don't know how long I've been standing here, it seems like hours, could it be that he's playing it over and over again? After a few minutes, the silence came. I opened my eyes and he was standing with his back to the piano, looking at me. I smiled at him, he didn't say anything back, but I noticed the softness in his eyes.
___ Shall we play one together? - he asked me. I walked over and sat down next to him - Do you want to choose? - I nodded and started to play Etude No. 2, he followed me straight away, our fingers worked skillfully, the sound filled the room and I felt light every time I played, the music became more intense and strong, but it didn't lose its essence, I concentrated so as not to miss any notes, it was fun to play with him. He chose the next song, I recognized the first notes as Für Elise, and as softly as possible I joined him to play, in harmony we continued to play for hours. The rain began to sound outside as a complement to the music we were now playing, after two more songs, I stretched and got up, looked for something to check the time, an electronic clock next to his bedside read 7:32.
___ It's about that time, I have to get ready - I hurried back to my room, but I felt a hand grab my arm, I looked back without understanding and Edward pulled me into a hug. After a few seconds, I hugged him back.
___ Thank you for spending time with me - his voice was soft and sweet. I wrapped my arms around him tighter.
___ Whenever you need me - I replied against his neck, and after a few minutes he let me go, so I went back to my room, thoughts racing and embarrassed, took a quick shower and got ready. I went downstairs quickly and Alice was in the living room with a smug smile.
___ Are you a piano duo now? - she asked laughing. I patted her on the shoulder and showed her my tongue - Come on, they're waiting for us.
I got full marks for my history homework and I was so happy. I liked the school routine more than most, it was fascinating to learn new things and discover things I didn't know. I sat in Edward's seat in biology class, Bella came in and sat next to me, I was surprised by the movement but didn't say anything.
___ I didn't want to hurt him you know... - she started, her voice whispery and low, but she knew I was listening - He's sweet and passionate, he's like a real prince, but understand my side - I looked at her, my eyes fixed somewhere in front of her - Jacob and I have a long history, now with the Imprinting everything has become much clearer, when I saw it everything was upside down - she looked at me, I see the way you look at him, that's why at first I didn't like you, it was like you were a threat, but in the end I was the one who hurt him, so take care of him for me - I raised an eyebrow at her and laughed.
___ It's not like I'm going to do something just because you asked me to, it was you who chose to try and fight something that was already written to happen, I admire your courage and audacity in trying to pursue what you want, but deceiving your own feelings was a stupid way of resisting - she was listening intently, her eyes filled with water, damn it, that's not what I expected - L-Look, I'm not judging you, no one is in charge of your heart, just let things happen naturally, try to be happy and not look at the moments you had with him in an unhappy way, as much as you liked Edward, when you're with Jacob you light up like a Christmas tree, you seem more alive and warm, you suit the heat, not the cold, Jacob is like Phoenix and Edward is like Forks, and like everyone everyone has their preference - I smiled at her and she let the tears flow.
___ Thank you for talking to me - she was about to get up, but I held her arm.
___ We're going to do a pair today, if that's okay - she settled back in her chair and the teacher came in. We had to use the microscope to analyze onion roots, which was worth an excellent golden onion. We calmly did the work, between side conversations and unfunny jokes, the bell rang and we won the prize. In gratitude, she let me keep the vegetable. I ran into Alice in the cafeteria, and before I could sit down, she stood up and hugged me. I squeezed her and we stood there for a few seconds.
___ You were very kind to Bella, she's not a bad person, she just wasn't the right one - she whispered in my ear. We pulled away and sat down.
___ It seemed like the right thing to do - I crossed my arms and looked at her table - We're not in charge of our feelings - she looked at me, I raised my hand slightly and smiled, she smiled back - Changing the subject, I think I may have discovered my special power - I looked at Alice excitedly - This morning in PE class, Matheu wanted me to play basketball and he was insisting a lot, I looked deep into his eyes and told him to get out, and amazingly he did - I looked at everyone, but found Emmett looking at me with amusement.
___ I think he was just afraid of your ugly face - he teased me.
___ Emmett, get me some pineapple juice, now - I looked into his eyes and asked, as if he had control over his own body he got up and went to get what I asked for. Jasper started laughing, he brought me my juice and sat down with a frown on his face.
___ Don't do that again - he muttered like a tantruming child. I sipped my juice smiling.

I craaaave protective Jake pls 🥺
"jake," you let out a breathy laugh as he slid both of his hands onto your hips, guiding you through the crowd of people at your sister's graduation party at the cullen's house.
he just rolled his eyes, sitting down at one of the couches and pulling you into his lap so he could hold you close to him, "you're being a bit dramatic, don't you think?" you asked teasingly, smiling as you peeked up at him and he just shook his head, pressing a soft kiss to your cheek.
"not dramatic," he reassured, laughing softly as he squeezed you closer to him, eliciting a series of giggles from you, "gotta make sure my girl stays safe, yea? don't need you gettin' hurt." he explained, noticeably relaxing as you leaned into him, resting your head on his shoulder.
the two of you stayed like that for a moment before alice came down to the stairs, smiling when she saw you before her expression dropped as she had a vision.
you were quick to get up, jake getting up right behind you as he slid his hand into the back pocket of your jeans. the two of you quickly followed alice into carlisle's office where the rest of the cullens were.
alice quickly explained her vision to everyone while you sat down in one of the chairs, jake coming to stand behind you and slide his hands over your shoulders, "so there's a newborn army coming here?" you emphasized, both you and your sister letting out a heavy sighs as you realized how dangerous the situation was for everyone involved.
"the wolves will help out," jake volunteered from behind you, gently squeezing your shoulders as you looked over your shoulder to glare at him.
"jacob-" you started but he quickly cut you off, not at all interested in hearing your argument against him.
"i'm not letting some clan of rogue vampires get anywhere near you," he explained before adding, "we'll be fine." he reassured, leaning down to press a soft kiss to the crown of your head as you huffed and rolled your eyes, already knowing there was no use in arguing with him.
"that would be very helpful," carlisle said softly, "but you'll need training. are you all able to come train tomorrow with jasper? y/n, you and bella can come and watch." carlisle suggested, offering you a soft smile as you let out a heavy exhale before nodding.

Masterlist
Twilight Masterlist
******************************************************************
Tumblr media
“Bella, maybe Jake just wants to be alone- or maybe some guy time.” Y/n suggested it to her slightly older sister. Bella and Y/n were hardly even a year apart in age but that didn’t stop Y/n from occasionally getting treated like a baby compared to Bella.
Y/n knew Jake and Bella had been spending a lot of time together recently and it seemed to be good for her sister after the Cullens left. But Jake had become sick or at least that's what he and Billy had been telling Bella. Y/n wanted to just leave it, he’d come back on his own either way. But her sister, no Bella , needed answers now and she wasn't going to wait to get them on Jacobs time.
Bella shook her head with a tight expression on her face. “No, Y/n. Something's up. Somethings wrong I can feel it.”
“Bella, we’ve both known Jake practically our whole lives maybe he’s just-” Y/n shook her head lifting her hand in q wave motion before dropping it down to her lap. “I don’t know, going through puberty?”
“His dad keeps saying he has mono but it’s been almost 2 weeks and he won’t even answer texts. Let alone calls.” Bella explained further as she pulled into the Black’s driveway.
“Maybe he’s still sick.” Y/n tried one last time as Bella put the car in park.
“Well, we're going to find out.” Bella stated before she got out of the car.
Y/n unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car to chase her sister muttering to herself. “This isn’t gonna go well.”
Bella knocked on the door and shortly after Billy opened the door. Bella had told the man in the wheelchair that she needed to see Jake, but all she got was that he wasn’t there. Next thing Y/n knew her sister had welcomed herself into the home practically going right over Billy.
“Bella.” Billy called after her but it was too late and Bella wasn’t listening anyways.
“I’m sorry, Billy.” Y/n said apologizing for her sister's actions.
Billy let out a sigh and sent a tired smile to the younger Swan. “Don’t worry about it, Y/n.”
It wasn’t even a few minutes later that Bella stormed out of the house and Y/n followed yelling after her. “Bella!”
“Hey!” Bella shouted and shoved one of the shirtless males Y/n somewhat recognized. “What did you do to him?!”
That's all Y/n could really hear from so far back. So she shouted out to her sister again, hoping to defuse the situation if she couldn’t just get her to leave. “Bella!” 
“Y/n wha-” Jake spoke out suddenly standing beside the Y/h/c-ed girl.
“She dragged me here with her.” That's all Y/n had to say for Jake to understand what was happening. Charlie got Y/n in the devoirce so Y/n and Jake grew up together their whole lives as siblings in Forks. They could understand what the other was saying with just a look.
Jake nodded before looking back at the scene and then pointed “And that?”
“She slapped that Paul guy.” Y/n told him and that changed his demeanor.
“Crap. Y/n, stay back.” Jake said as he noticed Paul shaking.
Y/n wondered why but then she made eye contact with the Paul guy her sister was taking her anger out on. It was as if time showed for a minute. All the members of the pack put it together, and that's when Jacob flipped and inevitably so did Paul.
Seeing them turn into giant wolves Y/n ran to her sister. “Bella, you okay?” Her attention was drawn back to the wolves fighting not far from everyone. “Woah. Now that's cool.”
“Really, Y/n?” Bella asked, turning her head to face her sister in disbelief at how her sister wasn’t scared.
“What?” Y/n shrugged. In her opinion that was cool. Way cooler than Vampire super speed, the eyes, and sparkling under the sunlight someone dumped a 1,000 pounds of glitter on you. The Paul guy and Jake turned into Wolves! And not just wolves, Giant wolves. That's impressive.
“What just happened?” Bella asked Sam Uley she believed his name was. All the while Y/n was confused as to the looks she was getting from the others, a few she had grown up with just like Jake. 
“Paul imprinted.” Sam stated looking at Bella. Then Jacob came out of the woods still looking pissed off.
“On Y/n.” Jake grumbled, clearly pissed off at the new found fact.
“Take her back to Emily’s. Bella too.” Sam told Jacob which resulted in a very loud scoff from the younger male. “That's an order Jacob. Embry go with them.”
“Hey, Em.” Y/n nodded to Embry. They have been friends for years. It brought comfort to Y/n, knowing someone else. Someone that wasn’t pissed that would be in the car with her, her sister, and Jake.
“Hey, Y/n/n.” Embry smiled. He had missed seeing her around since he phased.
“Why is Jake so pissed?” Y/n asked Embry hoping he could fill her in on what's going on exactly.
Embry sighed before explaining. “Him and Paul don’t get along, and he’s protective of you. As he should be, you're like brother and sister.”
“Why would he be protective over me when it comes to Paul? I’ve never met Paul before.” Y/n squinted with a furrowed expression as she questioned Embry confused.
“Paul should be the one to explain it to you. It’s not my place, or anyone else's in the pack.” Embry felt bad for Y/n. She had no idea what was going on and it very much involved her. But like he said it wasn’t his place to explain any of this to her. 
Y/n nodded in understanding, kind of. But maybe he could explain something else to her. “Can you explain the pack part to me then?”
Embry nodded with a smile stretching across his lips. “Yes, I can do that.”
It wasn’t a long drive but long enough for Embry to explain about the pack to Y/n.
“Who’s place is this again?” Y/n heard Bella ask and she listened for Jake’s answer.
“Emily and Sam’s.” Jake answered as he got out of the truck.
Jake and Embry helped Y/n off of the truck bed. With a quiet thank you from Y/n they all headed inside. The only ones that weren’t there was Sam and Paul. But it didn’t take long for them to join in on the group.
“Can I talk to you? Outside. Alone.” Paul asked nervously looking softly at Y/n, to let her know she could reject his request if she wanted to. Y/n nodded ‘yes’ getting up to follow him.
“Over my dead body.” Jake growled, glaring with his eyes set on burning holes into Paul.
“Jake.” Sam said his name firmly. Making Jake stand down. For now.
“Come on.” Paul nodded his head towards outside Y/n nodded as well and followed him outside the small nice home.
They walked into the woods for awhile, Y/n assumed long enough to be far away enough so the rest of the pack couldn’t hear their conversation. “So, I assume that they explained the whole pack thing to you?”
“Embry did, yeah. But not the imprint part?” Y/n spoke with a unsure tone, hoping she got the word right. Paul nodded with a twitch of his lips. “Not the imprint part. What is that by the way?”
“Guess I should explain that part then.” Paul smiled, hearing her just say the word of what she is to him. That made him feel warm on the inside, which was a new feeling for him. He did like it though.
“Embry said it was only your place to tell me what it is.” Y/n looked to the still shirtless male with curiosity. What did it mean? What did it have to do with her? And why did Paul have to be the one to explain it?
“I have a spot I’d like to take you, and I’ll explain on the way.” Paul suggested there was a place he wanted to show her that only he knew about. Great view that he never that he never showed anyone.
“Ok” Y/n knew she was being way trusting with this stranger. But he felt trustworthy. She didn’t know why but he does.
Paul stopped them for a second in their tracks. He really needed to know something and it was bothering him that he didn’t. “I do have a question before we get too far that I should know that I do not.”
Y/n let out an amused breath before asking. “And what's that?” 
“Your name.” Paul smirked
Y/n nodded with a smile. “Y/n. Y/n Swan.”
“Well, Y/n Swan. It’s nice to finally meet you.” Paul’s smirk fell into a smile. He always teased the others who already had their imprints about how whipped they were, but now he was starting to understand.

The only reason Jacob should’ve been a turn off to Bella was because she was 17 in the first movie while he was 15….. not because she was so madly in love with her stone boyfriend who left her in the forest.
Why was the age gap needed? WHO knows it had nothing to do with plot. Would’ve made sense to make him one year or a few months younger.

Chapter 5: Great Bear
Tumblr media
   The days passed quickly here, I quickly adapted to the school environment, the warmth and fire of the Forks youth was pleasant to see. I was studying hard, while my brothers were only there in body, I bet if they could sleep, they'd be doing it with their eyes open. I was still the talk of the school for being the youngest Cullen, I heard whispers every day, I tried to be nice to everyone, but none of them could buy the company of my family. My piano lessons took a break, Edward was going through tense moments in his relationship and today, of all days, had already started complicated. I got into Edward's car and he was cold and distant, when we arrived at Bella's house, a motorcycle was parked, I didn't know Bella rode a motorcycle, I thought to myself.
___ She doesn't ride - Edward growled. I looked at him, his jaw was clenched so tightly that I was surprised it wasn't cracking, I didn't say anything and opened the door to get out as usual - Stay there, I bet she won't be coming with us today - he got out of the car and slammed the door, I curled up in my seat and wished I'd gone with Emmett, I took out my cell phone and texted Alice to explain the situation. But I got a message from Rosa.
"WHAT'S THAT DOG DOING THERE AT THIS HOUR?"
     I hadn't seen any dog, but while Edward was waiting on the hood of the car, the door of the house opened and a tanned, muscular young man came out, along with Bella, she looked at Edward a little guiltily, and came towards him.
___ What's he doing here? - Edward's tone of voice was a little frightening.
___ He's going through some difficult times, I know it's hard to understand, but he's my friend, you know we have a very deep bond and ... - she mumbled, but I saw Edward's eyes full of disappointment, I looked at the young man and he had an arrogant smile on his face, I felt like getting out of the car and punching him in the face - Do you mind if I go with Jacob today ? - she bit her lips before asking and waited expectantly.
___ Lately you haven't cared much about my opinion, so even if I don't want you to, you'll do what you want - his voice was cold and angry - Next time let me know so I don't waste my time - he uncrossed his arms and got into the car, Bella called him, twice, he just drove off. His anger was almost palpable, I looked back and Bella was being hugged by Jacob, what the fuck happened here? He accelerated the car, a speed that I'm sure isn't allowed in the area.
___ Look, I know we're not going to die in a car accident, but I bet all my books on astrology that the person we hit will - I said as calmly as I could. Edward looked at me and I thought he was going to scold me, but he just sighed and slowed down - I'm sorry about what happened now - I started - I also wouldn't find it comfortable to have someone looking for my partner in my place - I tried to make him feel more comfortable, but his hand gripped the steering wheel even tighter, and I shut my mouth.
___ He had an Imprinting with her - he growled.
I remembered the book I read about the wolves and the cold ones, it was Bella who kept Jacob alive now, everything for him was her now, I don't know if the Imprinting is reciprocated by his partner, but the loving embrace they shared said a lot - What are you going to do? - I asked curiously, but it would have been better if I'd kept quiet, the look of pain on his face broke my heart, I wanted him to stop the car so I could hug him.
___ I love her, but I know she wasn't meant for me, we've had some incredible times together, but it's always been him for her. There wasn't a moment when he called and she didn't pick up and run out to meet him, every time I watched this, the more I felt short-changed and left out - he was on the verge of tears, and they fell, thick sad tears, I held my own. He parked, didn't get out of the car, I got out and ran to Rosa and Alice, I didn't want to leave him alone, Rosa started crying with rage.
___ Where's the tramp? She thinks she has the right to do whatever she wants with other people's feelings ? - the anger was clear and Emmett hugged her from behind, she relaxed a little, Alice was crestfallen, she also liked Bella's presence, she hugged Jasper. I went back to the car, I didn't want to leave his side. Just as I got in, Jacob arrived with Bella on his back, Edward was still crying, he was going to see the two of them together, but I held his face and made him look at me.
     Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Rosa coming towards them like a bear, rabid, and then the screaming started, Bella was crying, Jacob was standing between them, Emmett was holding Rosa, Alice was trying to break up the situation. Edward tried to see what was going on, but I wouldn't let him and started trying to distract him by drying his tears.
___ You're incredible, understand that, unfortunately fate has played with your feelings by offering you someone who can't belong to you - I started, I didn't know how to continue, I'm not very good with words, so I kept running my fingers through his tears - We're on your side for any situation, I'm on your side, you could never choose a better person to be with, I don't want you to suffer, But I understand that it's necessary to go through pain, better days will come and I'll be here, we'll see new landscapes together and build happy memories - I said everything as platonically as possible, but if my heart was beating, he'd be leaving - I'd like to take you home, but I don't know how to drive - I whispered embarrassed and to my surprise he laughed, leaned his head on my shoulder and thanked me, the commotion was raging outside.
___ You know you can clearly hear the screams, don't you? - Rosa was using all sorts of foul language to offend Bella, the school was watching from the sidelines - Will you walk me to class? - he asked emotionlessly. I agreed and we got out of the car, I took him by the arm and we walked into the school. The shouting was louder now and I couldn't help laughing when Rosa shouted: YOU'RE EXCHANGING MY BROTHER FOR A STINKING DOG. She was scary when she stood up for someone she loved. Like a mama bear.
     I went in with Edward, we did all our lessons together, when we went to break, we met up with our brothers, Rosa seemed calmer, we sat down at the usual table, but the atmosphere was a bit strange. I started talking to Emmett, he was bragging about having scored a lot of points playing basketball this morning, it wasn't fair to the other students, but it didn't matter to him. Alice was quieter than usual, Rosalie was staring at Bella with her eyes, she didn't seem intimidated and came towards us.
___ Edward, can we talk? - she murmured in a weak voice. Apparently the shouting was too intense for her. Rosa stood up and denied Edward's name.
___ You don't have any more business with him, just keep to yourself and don't mess with us any more, take your dog and get out of our lives - she said each word with palpable hatred. Edward stood up and looked at Bella, I couldn't identify the feeling he was conveying, the two of them walked off and disappeared from my field of vision.
___ Is he going to be all right? - I asked worriedly, looking at the door through which they had left.
___ It's not the first time he's suffered for love, like all the other times, he'll survive - it was Jasper who answered.
___ I thought it might be different with Bella, I saw them together - Alice replied wistfully - I think my vision has changed, he doesn't deserve to go through this again.
___ If she manages to convince him to go back with her, I swear I'll hunt her down to the ends of the earth - Rosa wasn't happy at all. They really do care about their own and it made me feel better to know that I could always count on them. Edward came back a little upset, apparently the conversation hadn't done him any good, and I was a little annoyed with Bella for it. When we left, Bella again tried to talk to Edward, who refused to take part in the conversation, but she insisted on calling him again, and he closed his eyes and sighed. With the last bit of patience and politeness I had left, I looked deep into her eyes and asked.
___ Go away and stop insisting, he doesn't want to talk to you today - I thought she was going to insist, but to my surprise, as if hypnotized, she turned her back and walked away, and before long Jacob arrived to take her away. I looked at Edward in confusion.
___ How did you do that? - he asked curiously.
___ I don't know - even I couldn't believe it had worked. We got into the car and drove home.
