The House That Jacob Built
Graduation Surprise
Bella POV
I sighed and sat down on the bed. No more high school. I almost couldn’t believe it was over. I still hadn’t decided what to do about a college. I had been accepted to some but I hadn’t done much else other than open the acceptance letters. I had been so certain not so long ago that my future would involve me spending a couple of years being kept away from people until I was safe to be around them without view them as happy meals with legs.
My breath caught in my throat as I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I hurt to think about them. The love of my life had left me as if I was no longer important to him. The life, the family, the partner I had chosen had vanished. It felt like a million years ago but the pain felt like it was yesterday.
I took deep breaths and tried to remind myself that it had actually been a long time since I had thought about them. Jacob had pulled me out of my catatonic state and gradually put me back together again and whilst I knew I didn’t love him like I loved Edward...there were some of the warm butterfly feelings for him. I think maybe I could love him if I give whatever we have between us a chance.
I went to shower, which calmed me down again. My mum hadn’t made it to the ceremony today due to Phil having an accident. It was nothing serious she assured me and she wanted to come and see me in the week. I told her don’t worry about it and that I’d actually quite like to come and see her. I did miss the sun sometimes. It would be nice to go on a little vacation. Mum of course had been thrilled at this idea and said she’d sort something out with me as soon as possible.
I got out of the shower and went into my room to get dressed. Charlie was taking me out of a little graduation celebration dinner. I decided to go with some black jeans and a dark blue jumper, something smart but casual.
We took my truck but Charlie drove. Only because he wanted to drive since it was a surprise where he was taking me, and I didn’t want to show up anywhere in a police cruiser.
I was getting suspicious now because we were heading towards La Push and I’d never seen any restaurants out this way, unless I guess he was taking me to one at La Push maybe? He pulled my truck up at the car park by the beach and got out.
“It’s a little walk do you mind?” he asked. I shook my head and followed him.
We hadn’t walked far up the beach when I could see a bonfire up ahead. I could see a small crowd sat around it and the closer we got the more I could pick out. I could see Jacob and Sam. There was Paul, Jared, Embry, Quil...Seth and Leah Clearwater clearly bickering with one another. Next to Sam sat Emily. I looked around, Sam wasn’t the only one who brought a date, so to speak. I looked like nearly the whole pack have imprinted.
Whilst I knew that they could easily date without imprinting but the way they looked at their partners...like they were memorising every detail...there was no doubt.
“Hey Bella!” Jake called, running to meet me. “Surprise!”
“Sorry kiddo.” Charlie said beside me. “Jake had this whole get party planned for you so I couldn’t say no.”
“You tricked me.” I muttered, feeling betrayed as all of a sudden I was the centre of attention. They all turned to greet me, with congratulations too.
Jake squeezed me in a bear hug so tight I could barely speak to tell him I needed to breathe. He looked a little sheepish but led me to sit down on a large piece of driftwood next to him.
I gave in to the celebrations and just enjoyed myself. We ate and laughed and talked. Billy and Charlie left early to head back to Billy’s. Apparently we were crashing there the night because everyone had been drinking.
“Don’t worry Bella, you can sleep in my bed.” Jacob told me.
“I bet.” I murmured back at him.
“You know I didn’t mean it like that.” He replied.
“Yeah I know Jake.” I told him, resting my head on his shoulder.
“Hey Bella?” he asked me after a moment. I mumbled something incoherent in response that was meant to be a yes. “Promise not to get mad but I got you a present.”
“Jake!” I protested.
“Don’t worry it’s only something small.” He said quickly. He fished around in his pocket for a moment. “Here, open your hand.” I held my hand out to him and he dropped something into it.
I looked a little closer and held his gift up to admire it. It was a friendship bracelet, only it had a charm on it. A wolf, carved from wood dangled from the bracelet.
“Do you like it?” he asked. I nodded. He knew me so well. “I made it myself...it’s not perfect but I’m learning. My dad’s much better at it than me, he’s teaching me.”
“Don’t knock my gift.” I told his, smacking him on the hand lightly. “Help me put it on?”
“You want to wear it?” he asked me, slightly shocked.
“Of course I do.” I replied. “I love it Jake, thank you.” He grinned and helped me fasten it around my wrist. I kissed him lightly on the cheek and went back to leaning against him.
It was late when we walked back to Billy’s, well it was more likely early the next morning but it was dark all the same. We laughed walking back along the beach. I had to admit, somehow Jacob always made me feel happier, like he was a special medicine, one that knew exactly how to make me feel better.
Jacob POV
“I wish I could be a werewolf.” I heard Bella mutter. I chuckled at the thought of her constantly ripping out of her clothes but thought I’d best not think about it in too much detail to avoid getting carried away.
“Why is that?” I asked her.
“You mean besides the not aging thing?” she replied. “You don’t get cold.” I suddenly realised that it must be cold away from the heat of the bonfire and of course I hadn’t felt it. I pulled her closer to me and put my arm around her shoulders.
“You’re right.” I frowned. “You’re freezing.”
“I’m guessing there’s no way to become a werewolf, like with a vampire.” She wondered aloud.
“No. Being a wolf is something born in me. A vampire is spread like a poisonous disease.” I replied.
“There’s no need to be nasty.” She chided me, as we went inside the house. Our voices lowered so as not to wake Charlie asleep on the sofa. I showed Bella to my room and my bed.
“Sorry.” I mumbled, as I began making a bed on the floor for me. I smirked suddenly unable to resist. “If you’re still cold I can think of plenty of ways to keep you warm.”
Bella POV
“No. Being a wolf is something born in me. A vampire is spread like a poisonous disease.” He replied, bitterly. He almost spat the word vampire.
“There’s no need to be nasty.” I scolded him, as we went inside the house. I hated it when he was so horrible about people he knew were my friends. Our voices lowered so as not to wake my dad asleep on the sofa. Jacob led me to his room.
“Sorry.” He mumbled, while making a bed on the floor for himself, being a gentleman and letting me have the bed. He smirked suddenly unable to resist. “If you’re still cold I can think of plenty of ways to keep you warm.”
My stomach did a flip flop. I blushed and couldn’t think of anything coherent to say in response. There was a whole different side to Jacob that wasn’t my sweet soft Jacob, but the randy teenage version with the wolfish grin. I was slightly intimidated by him at this point but part of me was almost longing to pounce on him. What was happening to me? Had we all had a little too much to drink?
