I was just playing around with this idea, so I hope you like it. I need one review, and then I will keep going for that one person. Enjoy! ^.^

BELLA'S POV
Three years. Three years since I've been in Forks. Three years since I've seen my mum or dad. Three years since I ran away from the love triangle between Jacob, me and Edward. And three years I've had to decide.
*Flashback*
I looked from Edwards pale face, to Jacob's dark one.
"I-I have to decide r-right now?" I stuttered.
"It's me, your boyfriend or him, your mutt." Edward sneered, the competitive factor making him somewhat evil.
"Bella, just choose." Jacob sighed, already knowing that I would pick Edward. His eyes pleaded with me, making me falter. I needed Edward. Didn't I? But… I wanted Jacob. I was so confused, and they both expected me to pick, right here, right now.
"I-I can't." I shook my head, tears welling in my eyes as I turned away, running to my faithful truck. I opened the door but before I could get in, Edward was there.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I can't do this, Edward." I sobbed. I managed to get in the cab but Edward was preventing me from shutting the door.
"But where are you going?" I look up to see Jacob just standing there, a little way away from my car. He could tell I was leaving, just because he knew me so well.
"I don't know." I whispered, tugging at the door in an attempt to close it. Finally, Edward released it and it slammed shut. I fumbled with the keys as I tried to start the car. With a roar, my truck started up. I quickly pulled away, and as I drove away I looked into the rear-view mirror and saw Edward run off and I watched Jacob explode into a russet wolf. I kept driving, feeling a piece of my heart break.
*End of Flashback*
My monster of a car rumbled as I drove. I looked at the sign that said 'Forks - 5'. So close to my home and I was beginning to feel nervous. I did the only thing that seemed to calm me; singing. Since I have left Forks, believe it or not, but I became a singer. Quite a famous one too.
I hadn't notified my father of my return, but I was pretty sure he would be glad to see me. Hopefully. And there was something about today, like there was something I should remember. I continued fretting as I entered the small town of Forks. Of course, it was raining and it looked like nothing had changed. I pulled into the driveway, looking up at the house that I had missed so dearly.
I pulled out my house key, which I hadn't used in a while, when I realized no one was home. I unlocked the door, entering cautiously. I was still hesitant about coming home, but I had missed everything so much. And I had decided, decided who I wanted. And I wanted Jacob, if he still wanted me. That was the bit I was really worried about.
I walked into the kitchen, the one I had been in so many times, and I realized it was different. There were new curtains and the cupboards had a fresh coat of periwinkle blue paint. I thought it looked nice, but I never expected Charlie to do something like that.
As I studied thee room I saw a piece of paper stuck to the fridge. In neat writing, one I had never seen before, I read;
Charlie,
Billy's house, 4pm Saturday!
Love S, xxx
S? I wondered. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was 4:30 pm. Well I guess I'd be seeing Jacob sooner than I thought.
4:50 pm
I had just turned the corner into Jacob's street when I heard the music and cheering from his house. It seemed there was a party of some sort going on. If I had of been the Bella I was before I left, I would have turned around and went back home. But singing in front of people builds up your confidence. I'm not saying I am as outgoing as some people, but I am definitely more confident.
I still felt that knot of fear in my stomach as I pulled up and headed up the front porch stairs.
This is it! I thought as I opened the door just as everyone inside yelled;
"Happy Birthday Jake!" and that's when it hit me. Today was Jacob's birthday, how could I forget? Everyone fell silent when they saw me in the doorway, in my tight-fitting jeans and favourite purple shirt.
"Bella?" Seth was the first one to speak, everyone else too shocked. I grinned at Seth, who had once considered me his little sister.
"Quil, you've grown so much!" I exclaimed incredulously, looking at his bulging muscles and his height.
"And you haven't grown a bit." He laughed, wrapping me in a big bear hug. Well at least one person was glad to see me.
When he released me, I turned to see my dad standing there, looking like he'd seen a ghost.
"Do you want me to pinch you?" I joked half-heartedly, trying to smile. I was surprised to find tears were welling up in my eyes. I hadn't comprehended how much I had missed him.
"No thanks Bella, just come and give me a hug." He laughed and I did so. We embraced for what seemed like years. I turned to see the pack, including Jacob, Billy, Sue and (this actually surprised me) Angela, my friend from school, in Paul's arms.
"A-Angela?" was all I could manage to say before she flung herself into my arms. I think she had missed me.
"Oh Bella, I missed you!" she gasped, confirming my thoughts, "And now that I know all that you went through, I mean how did you do it alone? Why didn't you tell me? Paul said you weren't allowed, but I was your best friend! I-I…" she had run out of breath, and was looking at me pleadingly, lost for words.
"I missed you too." I whispered, tears falling down my cheeks. I was totally oblivious to everyone else, but then I realised someone else was approaching. "And I didn't do it alone. I had Jacob." I added quietly, but I knew most of the werewolves would hear anyway.
When I turned and discovered it was Jacob who had come up to me, I almost died. He looked almost the same, the only difference was a scar on his cheek and the look in his eyes.
Those eyes screamed hurt, nervousness and longing, all at the same time.
"Jacob." I breathed, the world spinning as I tried desperately to regain my breath. But, me being me, I fainted. The last thing a saw was Jacobs face as he caught me then the world blacked out.
"Bella? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me." I heard a kind woman's voice say. I tried to open my eyes but found I couldn't so I attempted to squeeze her hand that was inside mine. That I could manage.
"Yes, she responded this time." The unknown lady said, "She should be coming around any minute now." My brain felt fuzzy, but the more I tried, the more I could remember. I groaned when I recalled my fainting.
"Is that a good sign?" I heard a man's deep, worried voice say. A voice that I recognised.
"Well seeing as you caught her Jacob, I doubt she will have any injury. Maybe just a headache." The lady answered. The name Jacob jolted me awake, and I finally opened my eyes to see Sue (who must have been the unknown lady), Jacob hovering over me. I did have a headache though.
"Was I ran over by a truck?" I asked weakly, and Sue smiled at my joke.
"No, nothing near as bad as that." She told me as I studied my surroundings. I was still at Jacob's house, but I was in the spare room that had once been Jacobs sisters. Charlie sat in the corner on a chair, obviously asleep.
"How long have I been out." I asked, trying not to make eye-contact with Jacob.
"About six hours." Sue informed me, shrugging as if it wasn't that bad.
"Oh." Was all I said.
"I'll wake Charlie and leave you two to… talk." She said, giving Jacob a meaningful look that made me instantly curious.
As soon as they had left (after Charlie checking me worriedly and asking me about a thousand times if I was okay) Jacob turned to me and seemed to examine me, soaking in all my features as if he couldn't get enough.
"Umm." I said distractedly, as I too looked him over. He was actually in a t-shirt, a grey one with red and grey sweatpants. I could clearly see his defined muscles through his shirt and when I looked up at his face, I just wanted to lean over and kiss his soft looking lips.
He said something but I didn't hear him, so I asked; "What?"
"I've heard your music." He repeated himself, "It's really good." He said, looking at me intently.
"Thanks." I said, slightly taken-aback. "I didn't realise my songs got all the way out here." I added sheepishly.
"Well as soon as Charlie heard your name, he went crazy with pride. Especially 'The Best Day'." He named one of my songs about fathers that I had based on my own dad in a way.
"I knew he would love it." I smiled happily.
"Why Bella?" he asked abruptly, "Why did you just up and leave, without even saying goodbye to your own father? To your friends? To me?" he looked at me with those eyes again and it was as if he was accusing me. Well I guess he was.
"Jacob I had to." I told him, desperate for him to believe and forgive me. "I had to get away from everything, and find myself. I didn't know who I was when I first came to Forks, and being with Edward really screwed me up. But I'm back now, and I'm better than I was. And Jacob, I'm ready. I'm ready to be whatever you want me to be." I finished, taking a deep breath.
"Y-You mean you want us to be together?" he asked wistfully.
"Yes." I nodded earnestly.
"Bells…" he trailed off, the wistful look replaced my frustration, "I can't."
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"I mean," he shook his head sadly, "I have a girlfriend." And as I fainted again, I felt yet another piece of my heart break.
Well there you are, that's what happens. Please review if you've read it. Even if it says 'good', 'bad', or 'I read it!' that would be fantastic!
Love Kaitlyn
