DISCLAMIER I do not own Twilight or any of Stephenie Meyer's books

In new moon, Jacob answered the Phone when Edward called. What if Bella had answered, and Edward didn't hang up on her like he said he would. Then what would happen?

BPOV

The phone rang, interrupting our thoughts. Jacob raced for the phone, but I was closer and beat him to it.

"Swan residence," My voice was still a little off from almost drowning

There was a pause, "This is Dr. Carlisle Cullen,"

"Carlisle? It's Bella,"

"Oh, Bella, I must have dialed your number by mistake. I'll let you get back to what you were doing,"

"Wait! How is E, Edward?" I choked out, trying to ignore the all to familiar ache when I said his name.

"He's doing okay. How've you been?" Something in his tone upset me.

"How do you expect? I need him to be happy Carlisle. There's just no point in living without him. And if he knew that I broke my promise, and why…" I trailed off.

There was a low growl, it lasted for about 2 seconds, "Bella, he only wants you to be safe."

"I know, but I don't think he, cares, anymore. If he cared, at all, wouldn't, he have, come to, check, on me?" I started crying.

There was a longer growl, louder, more threatening. The phone went dead. I slowly hung up. Jacob looked confused and angry at the same time.

"How do they dare to call here? Didn't the female tell them everything?" Jacob grumbled.

"Alice didn't tell them anything. They don't even know she's here. Now leave. I need to talk to Alice," I tried to sound angry, but it came out pathetic sounding.

"Why should I? Whatever you need to tell the leech, you can say in front of me." Jacob was really angry now.

"She said leave, and I suggest you listen, if you want to live to see tomorrow." Alice was suddenly behind me, snarling at Jacob. Jacob paled and jumped up, knocking his chair over, running out of the kitchen. He slammed the front door hard.

"Bella, what happened? Did he hurt you?" Alice's tone was calm, but a touch of anger slipped through.

"No. Carlisle called. Edward doesn't care about me." I cried, turning to look at her.

Alice cocked her head. "Bella, that couldn't have been Carlisle. I just got off the phone with him. No, that wasn't him. No, no no! Alice moaned. Before I could reply, Alice had picked me up and taken me to the couch. She held onto me with one hand and pulled out a cell phone with the other. She dialed so fast it was a blur. I only caught one side of her conversation.

"Did you just call her… Yes, I am, but… SO! What did you tell her anyway… OKAY! You know that's a lie… Please come, she needs you… Just come before she falls apart…yes, just hurry, she won't last long… I'll try. And remember, I'll be watching." Alice snapped the phone shut.

"Was that," Alice cut me off.

"That was Edward. He's coming here. He just needs a second to calm down, and he'll be here in two hours." Alice started rubbing my back. "It's okay Bella, he won't change his mind. Trust me."

"He's coming here?" I whispered. As much as I missed Edward, the thought of him coming here was almost unbearable. Why should he, he didn't care anymore. I started crying harder.

"Bella, its okay, he'll be here soon. Try to sleep." Alice murmured. She was surprised at my reaction, but didn't mention it. She just kept rubbing and waiting.

EPOV

I threw the phone to the ground, sinking to my knees. Bella thought I didn't care about her. All of this was my fault. If I had listened to her, and not forced her to go to her party. If I would have just ignored her right from the beginning, and not let her find out what a monster I really was.

And that's all I ever would be. A hideous monster. A danger to Bella, because of what I am.

I closed my eyes, trying to relax, but Bella flashed in front of my eyes. Bella, almost getting flattened by the van. Bella, lying battered and nearly dead after she tried to protect her mother from James by herself. Bella, trying to catch up to me after I told her I had to leave. And those memories would haunt me for the rest of eternity.

In a way, I didn't want to go back, but I knew I had to. Alice would see that I wasn't coning, and make me come back. I had to go to Forks. I stood back up and started running south, away from Alaska and down to Washington. I was at Forks in two hours.

Bella's house looked the same as before. Her old truck was still in the same spot she always parked it, and the house itself looked the same, but it was just different. It didn't look like a happy place. Just because Bella wasn't happy.

As soon as I was Inside, Alice was screaming in her thoughts. 'Edward, about time you got here! Bella finally fell asleep, but, Edward, just look at her!'

I slipped into the living room, and froze when I heard Bella. She was muttering in her sleep, as usual, but what she was saying frightened me

"Edward, go away, go away, don't hurt me."

I cringed. It was times like this that I really wished that I could read her mind. Bella had never had a dream like this before. Were they all like this? I shuddered at the thought. Alice looked up at me.

"She's been saying other things too. 'Edward, how could you, I hate you, don't come back.' Edward, this isn't the normal Bella."

"Let me take her" I whispered. Alice shook her head.

"No"

"Why?" I growled. Bella flinched at my voice.

"Edward, when was the last time you hunted?" She whispered.

I shrugged. "Two months."

"Go hunt. Now." She growled. "You won't miss anything if you leave. Don't put her in danger that way. Go," Alice glared at me. I reluctantly obeyed

Just before I slipped out the window, Bella whispered, "Good, he's leaving."
