STARING AT THE SUN
CHAPTER 2
BELLA P.O.V
Graduation was getting closer and closer everyday and I knew that if I didn't apply to any schools soon, it would be too late. As much as Jacob didn't want to me to run away to school, he was the one who was sitting at the table with me helping me fill an application out.
"You promise you won't forget me?" He asked.
"I could never forget you." The thought made me tear up. I didn't want to leave home. There wasn't much that I could do anymore in Forks. "You can come see me on weekends and I'm sure I'll come home some weekends too. And for Thanksgiving and Christmas break." I knew life was going to change a lot but there wasn't much to do in Fork. "I plan to move back once I'm finished."
"Will you take me to a college party?"
"Jake, I probably won't even take myself to a college party."
"You gotta get the whole college experience."
"Get your grades up and maybe you could join me at college." Now that would be chaos. Imagine both of us at one school? I'm sure we could find something really reckless to do. Our dads would have no way of stopping us.
"Wolves don't tend to go to college." I sighed. I knew that his first priority would always be the pack. I also knew he hated it. He deserved more.
"Can you ever stop phasing? Or is this a lifetime thing?"
"I'm sure someday I could stop but then I would start to age." Well my plan A was to stop aging too. We're on to plan B now. "I can control it a little better now but it would be difficult to stop right now. Like my grandfather stopped once he had kids and a wife."
"I see." I nodded. "Do you want to have kids?"
"Only to carry on the gene." He shrugged. "Do you?"
"Not really. But if you hate this so much, why would you want to pass it down to your kids?" I asked. He sighed. I know he was young. This wasn't really something that guys discussed with their friends.
"I guess you're right. Why would I want to torture them with this? But I think I would be a good dad." He shrugged. "I would figure it out if it ever happened."
"You're too young to have kids."
"So are you."
"Yes, that's why I am not having any."
"What if you met a nice man and he wanted kids?" I never really thought about it. With Edward I knew we would never be able to have children of our own. I was okay with that fact. It felt weird talking about this with Jake.
"Maybe not until I'm in my thirties." I shrugged. After that he was silent. "Wanna go do something?" I asked.
"Sure. Bikes? Hiking?" I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but I didn't want to do either of those things.
"Neither. Let's go to a movie or something. Go cause some trouble or something."
"Okay but we cannot get arrested." He commented making me roll my eyes. "Chaos follows you. I'm surprised we haven't been arrested yet." He smiled standing up.
"Jacob." I commented standing up looking up at him. "Let's go get a cat." He breathed out a laugh but I was serious.
"Wait what?"
"What do you think Charlie would do if I came home with a cat?"
"Bella... Why don't you start small. Get a nose piercing." I didn't want to give Charlie a heart attack.
