STARING AT THE SUN
CHAPTER 1
BELLA P.O.V
"Are you sure you want to jump?" Jake asked coming up behind me. "We don't have to do this."
"It'll be fun." I smiled.
"I know but it's cold and there's a storm coming." He tried to reason with me. "This is too dangerous. I can't let you do this. Let's just go back to my place." I sighed. I couldn't believe that I was going to give up the chance to hear the voice but Jake was right. "And there's a crazy vampire running around."
"Fine." A howl rang out from somewhere behind us.
"Something's going on." He rushed grabbing my arm and trying to get me to hurry back through the woods.
"Jake, slow down. I can't move as fast as you." I huffed trying to follow behind him. He groaned at me before giving me a piggyback ride back to my car. "What's going on?" I asked as he got in the driver's seat and started driving back to his house.
"Give me five minutes." He commented rushing out of the truck. I waited for a few minutes. I debated if I should follow him, go inside or just wait here. "I'm gonna take you home." He commented getting back into the car.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Harry Clearwater died."
"What? How?" I asked.
"Heart attack. Your dad and my dad are with him now."
"Oh my gosh." I sat down. "Jake I'm so sorry."
"It's alright. His poor kids though. Seth is just barely 15." I had met his kids when we were younger but since moving back to Forks, I hadn't seen them.
"He has a daughter too right?"
"Yeah, Leah." He answered. He pulled into the spot I usually park at. Charlie's cruiser wasn't here.
"Are you going to go home?" I asked.
"I probably should." He looked out through the windshield. "I should be there to help my dad."
"Well he's with my dad. You should come inside and I'll cook you dinner." I commented. He sat back and thought about it for a little while.
"Alright." He got out of the car and I quickly followed him to the front door. I unlocked it before stepping inside and turning on the porch light for when Charlie got here. Jacob used the phone to call around to make sure that Charlie brought Billy here. "They're here, Bells." He commented as I was baking the fish.
"Dad!"
"Hey, Bella. Jacob." He frowned at both of us as he wheeled Billy in.
"I'm so sorry about, Harry." I wrapped my arms around him. "He was a good man." I commented as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Yeah. He was a very good friend." Jacob talked with Billy for a little while. I finished dinner while they talked. I knew that there was going to be some things done and I'm sure they were talking about what the pack was going to do about the visitor that's been trying to get through the land.
I grabbed plates and set the food on each of them. I made sure to give Jake extra.
"Dinner's ready." I poked my head into the living room where Charlie was sitting. I made room at the table for Billy's wheelchair. I moved a chair closer to me so that Jake could sit and we could all eat together.
"What did you two kids do today?" Charlie asked as we ate.
"We just hung out down at the beach. It started to get really cold." Jake commented casually while looking at me.
