Swan Goin' Wolf

Saying Goodbye

 I was at the Black's helping Jacob and Billy while Sam had the rest of the pack over to discuss his plan for the agreement with the Cullens. He thought that if they agreed to leave before hand and that the treaty reset after Bella's change that everything would settle for the best. We all knew that Jacob would still be heartbroken and want to go after the Cullens for changing Bella, but not being forced to kill her, we had hoped, would mellow him out some, but we never imagined that he would take it as bad as he did. When Sam told him what was happening he had been angry, but his injuries prevented him from phasing.

What sent Jacob over the edge was receiving a wedding invitation in the mail from Edward and Bella. He had gone ballistic and ran out. After being gone for a couple hours without coming back, Billy called Sam and we realized that Jacob was running away. He's been gone for a month now and everyone is worried about him. The guys couldn't get through to him. We knew that he could hear us, but he refused to talk and come home, he was letting his wolf take over to deal with the pain he was feeling from the reality that Bella had officially picked Edward over him.

The month passed somewhat fast, with worrying over Jake, finishing some of the wedding plans, helping Billy, and spending time with dad while Bella was away at the Cullens planning her wedding to Edward. I had been surprised when I had gotten the invitation for Sam and I to attend the wedding. I had thought she wouldn't bother inviting me, seeing as she had refused to talk to me since she had come back from Italy in March. Sam stood on the line about where he stood concerning the wedding. He was enthused about going, but knew since it was my sister that I would have to go. Eventually he came to the decision that he would come with me, he didn't trust the Cullens even with the treaty and wanted to make sure I was alright while I was there.

Today is the wedding and I promised dad that I would help him get into his monkey suit as he liked to call it. Sam looked dashing in his suit as I stared at him from the doorway. He looked over and smirked when he saw my staring before he looked over my dress. I wasn't informed of a dress code so I wore a light yellow dress that flowed to my knees and had small straps holding the bodice up. There was a black, thin belt around my waist with a small, decorative buckle.

"Can you believe that in just over two months, this going to be us?" I asked as I walked to Sam. He wrapped his arms around me and lightly kissed my lips.

"I can more than believe it. I'm excited for it." He said and I smiled up at him.

"I am, too." I leaned up and kissed him one more time before looking at the clock.

"We better get going. Dad's going to need all the time he can get to be ready and presentable for Bella's wedding." I said and moved out of Sam's arms to put on my shoes. They were thin, black strapped heels. When we got to the house we let ourselves in with the key. He wasn't down stairs and the bathroom door was open at the top of the stairs.

"Dad?" I called.

"Upstairs!" He called back. Sam started to move behind me, but I stopped him.

"If your needed I'll call for you. Go watch some TV or something." I said and Sam shrugged before walking toward the living room. I smiled and walked up the stairs. I found dad standing at the end of his bed staring at the tux that was laid out on it. His expression was hard to decipher.

"Dad?" I asked as I took a step into the room.

"I'm losing her. After today she's going to leave with him and go off to college. At least with you I know he won't hurt you, that he'll treat you right and that you'll still be close. With your sister... She never liked it here and now she won't even have Edward to hold her here." Dad said and I wrapped my arms around him in a hug.
