Change's

BY: D.A. Whisper

I was alone for the first time in month's. I was able to get away to a place that they couldn't follow me. A place i was still able to go to with out fear.

" It's not safe. Their mutt's that can't controll thair action's " Edward's voice echoed

He was my best friend. Jake would never hurt me. Atleast not while im still human.

I knew it was only a matter of time and he'd be there. He would come. He still care's even if he won't take my call's.

I stood on the very cliff that i'd jumped from. The one action that brought me and Edward back together.

I needed time , time to think. I was sure that my love for Edward was beyound any other love in history but i wasn't ready to let go of my friendship with Jake.

He was my rock my stable ground when Edward left me. And more n' likely the reason im still alive.

How could i just let all that slip away because Of the fued?

The sun was just about to touch the horizon. The sky was changing color's deep purple's and pink's some yellow and blue mixed in. It was amazing.

It was then that i heard Jake he was walking out of the tree line a few feet behind me. I waited i didn't turn to face him i knew he'd be standing right next to me.

A warm feeling washed over me as he stopped. I could feel his body heat. Who need's a fire just stand next to him for awhile.

"Why are you here Bella? " His voice was thinker than i remembered but still soft.

" I wanted to see you" I looked at him for the first time he was bigger.

" You shouldn't have come. It's not safe" His voice took a stern tone. But he was lieing Im just as safe here as i am at the cullen's

" Im safe......For now anyway's " I didn't mean for it to sound the way he seemed to take it but his face hardend

" I'd never hurt you Bella.....Even if you were one of .......THEM " he snapped.

" i didn't come to fight Jake..I came becuase i miss you. I know i can't have it both way's but i couldn't let thing's end the way they did" I felt like i was going to cry my voice was shaking and i was yelling at my self.

He turned his body toward's me his eye's were so soft he was about to say something but stopped turning to face the tree line. One of the member's of his pack came out of the now darkend tree line. I Guess he smelt the vampire sent im sure im covered in. He looked ready to attack but halted as soon as he saw Jake. I guess that's what jake meant when he said it wasn't safe. He might not have been the first one to show up.

I heard the deep snarl in the young wearwolf's chest as he backed away. Jake's body relaxed as he turned back to me.

" You can't stay long Bella. But im glad you came. I didn't want to leave it that way either."

I took his hand in mine and took in the warmth of it. I missed how warm he was. But i couldn't live with out the cold touch of Edward. It was heart braking.

" Our Friendship mean's everything Jake. I want us to stay friend's even if im with a cullen." His eye's darkend at my statement but softend as he looked down at the ground.

" Maybe....maybe we can meet in the middle. But it has to be slow Bella maybe the next time you call I'll answer." That made my heart soar.

"i'd like that." I stood on my tip toe's and kissed his cheek.

" It's time you go Bella it's dark and these wood's aren't safe atleast not for a girl who smell's funny " He smiled. I slapped him , He knew i was sick of people telling me i smelled bad.

He walked me to my truck and watched as i drove away. I felt a little lighter. Happy that there was a small chance that our friendship would last.

I rushed home to shower and through my cloth's in the washer before Edward got there. He'd smell Jake on me and hell would brake loose.

I'd never hear the end of it.

I didn't see the volvo as i came up on my house i sighed in releaf as i parked the chevy. I ran into the house at braking speed startling Charlie. I ran up the stair's stopping long enough to let Charlie know everything was Ok and gave him a big smile.

I pulled my shirt off as i entered my room rushing over to my dresser pulling out a t shirt and sweat pant's. then ran into the bathroom for a quick shower. I dressed fast grabing my cloth's to dump them in the washer. I stopped for a second feeling really stupid for hiding this then ran down stair's.

I walked calmly into the kitchen where charlie sat eating a cold pizza. { Gag }

" What was the rush Bell's ? " he asked taking a bite.

I smiled " I almost got skunked " I lied i wasn't even sure forks had skunk's but Charlie laughed.

I sat down and we talked for a short while till he stood. " Game's about to come on " He put his plate in the sink and walked into the living room.

I washed the plate and made my way up stair's.

To no surprise Edward was sitting on my bed His nose twiched , There's NO way he could still smell it. My heart fell for a moment till Edward smiled pulling me down on the bed.

" You know i was thinking we still have those ticket's to Jacksonville maybe we should use them " He smiled

I wasn't really sure how that would work but i loved the idea. " When?" I asked cuddling to him

" I donno. Talk with you dad call you're mom see when a good time is and we can leave ....And dont worry about what will happen when we get there. I'll think of something "

I swear sometime's i wonder if he Can read my mind he just wont admit it.

We talked about what we would do when we got there { night plains } and how long we would stay. I couldn't wait. I was going to talk to Charlie first thing in the morning then call my mom.

Edward got up to put another cd in my cd player when he stopped dead in his track's bending over and picking up one of my sock's and I KNEW from the look in his eye's i was busted. A damn sock gave me away. I nearly fell off my bed at the odd's. Ah oh my god.

He didn't say anything at first and i wasn't about to maybe i was wrong but when he tossed the sock on the other side of the room and sat back down at the end of my bed i was sure.

" Bella? care to explain? " His voice was hard as stone What the hell was i gonna say i mean for real? Stupid sock.

" Explain what?" I asked acting dumb

He rolled his eye's and leaned forward " Did you go see Jake? "

OK Yes i went and seen the smelly mutt damn sock I was so glad Edward couldn't hear my thought's.

" I um yea i ran into him a few hour's ago. We had a short talk and went our own way's " Hey it wasn't a total lie i mean it was sorta plained but i wasn't going to admit that. It's bad enough Edward doesn't like Jake nor trust's him but admit that I went on to his land where now i know i could get hurt in a case of misunderstanding's. So yea it wasnt a lie i just left out a part.

" Were you going to tell me about it? "

I thought about it for a second then told him the truth the whole truth

" Prolly not no i ..i didn't see any reason to " His eye's fell for a second

It wasn't like i was meeting Jake on the side and He IS my friend. " Would it have made a differnice if it was Mike? " I asked sitting up.

Edward looked up and thought about it. Seeing my point. " Yeah he's not a mutt that will kill you at a moment's notice " I could hear the groan in his chest. I felt like slapping him but the urge passed.

I knew he knew Jake would never hurt me at least not willingly. I think Edward's dislike for Jake wasn't because of what he was but becuase of what he was to me. He'd been there for me when Edward left. Protacted me from a vampire bent on killing me. I was right but Edward would never admit it. He was to head strong for that.

I moved over to him wraping my arm's around his neck and pulling him back down onto the bed.

I smiled down at him his head resting in my lap. I ran my hand's through his hair. How weird I'd never really thought about it before. There right below me was a man , a man who thought of himself as a monster. Yet the peacfull look on his face the way his hand glid's down my leg. That's not what monster's do. They lerk in darkness waiting for a victom they don't care. He care's and he love's me. I just wish he could see that for himself. See what i see when i look at him.

He's the one im going to marry no one else. I know that the thought of getting married scare's me. Funny right Im not scared of this vampire or the fact that he can kill in less than a heart beat. But Marrige scare's me. His eye's were closed and his chest was rising and falling as if he were asleep but i knew better.

The following morning when i woke Edward was gone , But he left a white rose in his stead. I rolled over and picked it up and played with it for a minute in deep thought before i heard Charlie call from down stair's. I jumped up and heading to see what he needed i glanced at the clock i realized he was over an hour late getting to work.

I'd barly made in half way down the stair's when charlie popped into view. Right away i knew something was up he had a duffle bag in hand and his jacket was wet. I stopped. " Dad what's going on? " The look on his face scared me.

" Bell's i gotta go to seattle for a few day's they've been calling in help from diffrent county's about the mase murder's there im heading out in a few hour's " I was floored i knew what was going on there and i didn't want my dad any where near that. " dad you can't before real? Send some one else " I begged.

He shook his head " Bell's i half to. I'll be back the day after next maybe the following."

" Please dad if you half to go be very very carefull" I wanted to warn him to tell him to stay indoor's at night. And to stay in a large group. Even Victora knew better than to attack and leave witness's. I gave him a hug and told him to be carefull again and watched him walk out the door. As soon as the door closed i rushed to the phone and called Edward. He had to know. As soon as he picked up i said everything in one breath. At first he laughed not understanding a word i said and asked for me to slow down.

I said it slower and he told me he was on his way. I was freaking out. When he showed up Alice and Emmet were with him. Emmet of course was alway's up for a fight and Alice came for me.

" Me and Emmet are going to follow you're dad out to night and keep an eye on him. Alice is going to stay here with you. " I couldn't bare the thought of loosing either of them but i knew atleast with them watching my dad thing's would hopfully be ok.

That night me and Alice stood watching as the volvo rounded the corner out of sight. My heart was racing , Alice put her hand on my shoulder and said everything was going to be ok.

She lead me back inside shutting the door.
