Chapter One:

Bella POV

" Go AWAY, Edward," I screamed at him. " I want nothing to do with you and your…. Your LIES!"

"Bella, please, I begging you listen to me," Edward whispered through the door. " I had to tell you that to keep you safe."

I couldn't help it, I wrenched open the door. " So what now? You no longer want me to be safe? What makes you tell me NOW?"

" Do you even believe me?" he said quietly. " Or do you think I'm crazy?"

" The sad thing is, it makes SENSE. But we've been dating for SIX months Edward. Why did you wait so long to tell me you're a," I looked around to make sure no one was listening. Then as quietly as I could, I whispered, " vampire?"

"Because I knew we couldn't go on like this. You had to know before it got anymore serious. I know I'm a monster, but I love you, and its your choice," his eyes pleaded with me to say yes.

Could I though? I was always wondering about his reluctance to kiss me, but the fact that ge thought I smelled appealing scared me. Was it worth risking my life just to be with him. Did I even love him?

I thought about this. I liked him a lot, he was so sweet and thoughtful, but I would never had used the word love. I didn't commit like that. I COULDN'T commit like that.

I sighed. " Edward, you're a really, REALLY sweet guy, and this has been the best relationship so far in my life. But-," I shook my head, not sure how to put my thoughts into words. " I don't love you, and I think it would be best if we were just friends."

He looked pained. " Just friends," he scoffed. "Like that will ever be enough for me. Very well, Isabella Swann, we can 'break up'. But if I can't have you, then no one ever will."

And with this pleasant good bye, he was gone.

My legs weren't strong enough to hold me up, and I sunk down to the floor, my back against the door. Tears began streaming down my face, and a muffled sob escaped my lips.

What will he do?, I think to myself. Surely he didn't mean that.

But I was terrified he'd come back, and I obviously couldn't fight him off by myself. I wanted to call Jacob.

I knew I shouldn't drag him into this, what could he do against a group of blood-thirtsy vampires? But what would be the harm in calling?

I quickly dialed the number, well aware it was a bit before midnight and there was a likely chance he was sleeping. To my surprise, he picked up.

"Hey, its Jake," came the all to familiar voice. He sounded wide awake, but the faint other voices on the other end made it seem like he was busy. " Who is this? Is it possible to call back tomorrow?"

"Ja-Jake?" my voice was stuttering and weak. I cleared my throat and tried again. " Jake, its Bella. I'm sorry, do I need to call you back?"

" Bella?" Jacobs voice sounded concerned. " What happened? Are you alright?"

" Physically." I whispered into the phone, tears pouring out of my eyes. " Tough Break up."

"Oh, crap, Bella, I'll be right there," He said. " I'll just stop by the store on my way. Whats your favorite, vanilla ice cream or chocolate?"

" Don't stop!" I cried. " I don't want ice cream, I need you here. I'm s- scared."

"Hush, Bella. I'll be right there. I'm leaving now."

"Don't hang up," I whimpered. " Don't stop talking."

"Of course not, Bells. Can you hear me?" He said in a soothing voice. " Would you like to explain why your scared?"

"No, I can't," I started crying even harder.

"Why can't you Bella?" Jacobs voice staying quiet, soothing. " Don't worry, you can tell me anything, Bells."

I have to admit, I was getting a little hysterical. " But Jacob, he won't let me! He'll have to stop me! I don't want him to come back!"

The tears were starting to make it hard to speak, so I just sat there, clutching the phone, and listening to Jacobs strong, steady voice. I didn't try to talk, nothing I'd say would be coherent anyways.

It felt like I'd sat there for years, when I finally heard a knock on the door. I stood up and quietly peeked through the eye hole. There was Jacob, along with two other big, tan boys, standing on my porch. I opened the door.

Jacob walked in and held me tight. This didn't stop me from seeing him nodding at the two boys, who immediately took off for the woods.

"They shouldn't go in there," I mumbled into Jacob shirt. He smelled so nice and woodsy, it was comforting to have him here. I could already feel my fear subsiding a little bit. " That's where he went when he left. He's mad, he might hurt them."

" Who might? Your ex?" Jacob asked.

Oh, right. I'd never told Jacob about me dating Edward. Awkward.

"Yeah, my ex. His names Edward. Edward Cullen?" I looked up at Jacob as I said this. He immediately stiffened at the name.

"Oh crap."

"Whats wrong Jacob?"

"Come on, Bells, we need to get you out of here."
