Jacob was coming closer, and closer still to that kiss we had been moving towards for months but had never come to be.

But here it was. And I had no fucking idea what I was going to do about it.

Riiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiing. The shrill tone of the phone made me jump, and as Jacob grabbed the phone I gritted my teeth. "Swan residence," his husky voice said into the receiver, I yanked the phone out of his hand, surprising both of us. "Dammit Jacob Black, this is my home."

He raised his eyebrows, smirking at me, his other hand still resting on my chin from when he was about to kiss me. "Bella here," I mumbled into the phone, still somewhat befuddled.

"Bella? Bella, love, is that you?" His voice, though once smooth as velvet, now resembled grease to me.

All at once, I realized something. I had just thrown myself off a god damn cliff for this dude, and all he has to say on the phone is "Bella is that you"? For gods sake he should be begging me to be back in my life, begging that I don't hang up the phone that very moment!

"Bella are you there? Is that really you?"

I realized now, that the person I had been with Edward was no longer present. That person wasn't who I was meant to be, the overly cautious, cushioned, over protected little girl. Edward was more of a father to me than a lover, a boyfriend, a soul mate, whatever you want to call what I had once thought of him as.

I sighed, and gritted my teeth. "Yes, Edward, it is really me. What do you want?"

Jacob's expression turned to shock as the tone at which I spoke wasn't he one he was expecting.

"Love I-" I cut him off, sighing, "Edward, I am not your love anymore."

"Bella, you misunderstand. I left you to protect you."

I snorted, "If that were true then why did I just almost die?"

"What! Bella you promised-"

I pulled away from Jacob and leaned against the wall, my back to him.

I sighed and cut him off, "Edward. I cant keep doing this to myself. You left me, I was a shell, and you left me a different person. A person I am not meant to be, so please, I'm finally moving on…Do the same. Don't make me feel guilty for what you have done."

"Bella…"

"Don't hurt me anymore Edward."

"If that is what you wish…"

"It is."

"Goodbye, my Bella, I will love you always."

I breathed out and hung up the phone, "I am not your Bella." I muttered with disgust towards the wall, and slowly leaned my forehead into it.

"Then who's Bella are you?" I spun around, and Jacob moved closer to me. "Hmm? Are you my Bella? Charlie's?"

I shook my head

"I am my own Bella."


Alrighty so I know I should probably finish "Shifting Sands" but to be honest, everything I was planning now seems totally ridiculous. So give me some time on that.

I wanted to write a change to New Moon for too dang long, and so now I've tried!

Let me know what you think :)
