I was laying in bed one morning before school, thinking of ways to pretend to be sick so I could stay home and sneak off to see Jake again. I've been doing that every so often lately, because all I want to do is spend time with him. A smile came to my face at the thought of my boyfriend of 4 months, and my imprintee, Jacob. God, I can't remember the last time I'd smiled like this. I've come to realize I was just in a trance with Edward. Yes, I loved him more than anything at the time, but I did not know what true love was until I became Jacob's imprint. I now have the feeling of certainty. I know he will always be by my side, no matter what. We are connected more than words can say.

Let me back up here. Imprinting is when a werewolf, Like Jacob, finds his "mate", so to speak. Their hearts become connected, as one. We know when the other is in pain, sad, or even angry. I can control him, if I wanted to, but I can never do that to my Jacob.

My happy thoughts were interrupted by my father, "BELLA, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Ugh, why can't I just graduate already? I slowly got off my bed and grabbed my backpack and cell and "hurried" out of the house to school. Damn, I was really dreading school. Just a month and a half, then I'm free. Of course, I'll still be living at home. I decided I am going to go to community college, because it will save my dad thousands of money, and secretly so I can stay close to Jake.

The ride to school seemed to fly by, probably because I was dreading it. I pulled into the parking lot, found a spot all the way in the back of the lot since I was, like always lately, late. I speed walked into the building so I wouldn't get a detention by being late again. But I walked by a familiar looking car, but just shrugged it off and just went on with my day.

This day was going EXTRA slow. I had Chemistry, English, and Math already. Luckily Angela and Jessica are in my English class and Mike is in my Math class. Ever since he and Jessica have been dating, things have been much better with us. He's no longer creeping me out by following me around like a lost puppy, so we became good friends after all. Finally lunch came, and I couldn't wait to check my phone to see what missed texts I had. I found my table with Jessica, Angela, Mike and Ben, said hello, and pulled out my phone to check. I had 3 missed texts. Two were from Jake, and one was from my dad.

Hey baby, good morning, hope your having a good day at school. I miss you so much. All my love, Jake. I couldn't help but smile, as I read my other texts. The next was from my dad.

Hey Bells, I just wanted to let you know that I'm staying at Billy's tonight for the big game, so Jake is staying at our place to keep you safe. I'll see you tomorrow. –Dad. I almost leapt out of my seat I was so happy. My dad was really supportive of mine and Jake's relationship. He trusts Jacob to take care of me, unlike with Edward. He knows I'm truly happy, and he accepts this. It also doesn't hurt that him and Billy are best friends.

WE GET THE HOUSE TO OURSELVESSS! ;) –Jake This has turned my day around completely. I was smiling from ear to ear.

"Well well well, I know that smile from a mile away, did Romeo say something sweet again?" Mike joked around. Him and Jake have become really close since we've been dating. I couldn't do anything but turn crimson red. Right as I was about to answer him, I looked up, and all my color drained from my face and my heart dropped into my stomach. Was it? No. It's impossible.

Jess looked at me, concerned and followed my eyes, and her face was also in shock. She knew exactly how hurt I was when Edward left me, and I was finally happy.

Yes, Edward was standing right in front of me, with a small smile on his face.
