Edward was acting strange, he just killed Victoria. I was safe, shouldn't he be happy? That's when he said, "Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't want anyone to get hurt." As soon as the words left his mouth my heart started hurting. I realized we didn't win. I don't love Edward. Now that there isn't any danger, there's nothing here. "Edward, I'm sorry too. You feel it don't you?" I asked him and he responded, "You mean the feeling like we are complete strangers?" yeah that feeling. I don't feel anything now. Do you think we aren't supposed to be together? My heart is calling for Jake. He's been hurt. Edward I'm sorry but I have to get to him. He told me to stop apologizing, and that knew the minute he came back, something about us was different. All he asks is for me, to be happy and maybe call once and awhile. I promised him I would; in return the Cullens wouldn't leave again, till it was time for them to move. They couldn't just leave again, just because Edward and I aren't together doesn't mean we can't be friends. Besides Alice is my best friend. "Edward, I really have to go. Jake needs me."
At Jake's
Standing outside was bad enough, but standing outside while the man I love was screaming in shear agony was worse. I wanted so bad to run in there and tell Carlisle to stop, you're hurting him. But Sam informed me it would be better to stay outside and wait till Dr. Cullen was finished resetting his bones. So there I stood behind Billy, hand cranked down on his shoulder. Seth came over and wrapped his arms around me and told me that I need to let go of Billy's shoulder or it's another bone that Dr. Cullen was going to have to reset too. I immediately let go and apologized to a man that has been like a father to me. He told me not to worry daughter and that he was glad I finally saw where I was supposed to be. Dr. Cullen came out and told us that Jake would be okay. By tomorrow night, he could get out of bed. He also asked who was going to be staying in his room with him to wake up and give him morphine shots. I informed Carlisle that I would be, if it was alright with Billy. Charlie had arrived by that time and raised his eyebrow. He then asked, "Bells, I'm not sure your finance would like that.'' I told Charlie, "When I heard that Jake had been hurt. I realized what feelings I had for Edward was nothing compared what I feel for Jake. So I broke off our engagement." Charlie was pleased and smiling for ear to ear. "Now if you all will excuse me, the man I love is screaming my name." Embry and Quil nudged each other and smirked. I rolled my eyes and walked inside. I reached Jake's door, I turned the nob, and opened the door. I saw Jake's right side wrapped up tight and a cast on his left leg, and his eyes were closed. I started crying. He must have heard my sobbing because he opened his eyes. And it was the most heart-breaking look in his eyes. "Bella, if you are here to break my heart you might as well do it now. I'm already broken." I started crying even more and starting blubbering, "Jake I'm so sorry it took me so long to realize how much I love you. How much I'm in love with you. I'm not here to break your heart and I plan to never break your heart again. I'm yours. I love you." He was smiling; I took it as a good sign. Then all emotion was wiped from his face and he was just staring at me. I was about to call for Dr. Cullen, just as I opened my mouth, Jake started smiling again but this time it was the biggest smile I have ever seen. His smile reminded me of a little kid on Christmas when he got exactly what he wanted. "Bells, it looks like you're stuck with me. I just imprinted on you. I love you so much. Come here." I smiled at his words. He told me he loved me and that he imprinted on me. "Bells, I wasn't kidding, come here!" I shook my head and asked, "Are you crazy? Your hurt! No way!" He smiled and held out his left hand then said, "Bella, get your cute little ass over here. There is no way in Hell I've waited three years, for you to tell me that you love me. And not get one single kiss. Now come give me a kiss, Darling." I smiled and started walking to him, I leaned down, his arm snaked around my waist and he pulled me down next to him. I laid my head on his chest, right underneath his heart. I looked up into his eyes and could not see anything but love; I leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "There I did what you asked." Jake leaned down and whispered in my ear, "A real kiss Bella." then he leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips. I immediately responded and kissed him back, he ran his tongue across my lower lip begging for entrance. I pulled back and said, "when you're not hurt, we will continue this, but there are lots of people outside about to start making their way in here." He kissed me again and whispered, "Maybe they want to watch me kiss my girlfriend?" I laughed into his kiss and said, "That's what porn was created for." as soon as Jake started laughing Quil and Embry busted through the door. Embry nudged Quil and said, "they sure didn't wait long to jump in bed together, did they Quil?" Quil smirked and said, "They didn't wait long at all. Way to go!" Jake kissed my temple and asked the boys, "why are we friends again?" They both smiled and said, "You love us." He smirked and said, "That was before I had Bella. Now I'm not sure I really need you two anymore." Quil said, "That sucks because you are stuck with the three us. Embry has to stick around in case Bella changes her mind and wants to run away with him." I laughed and looked at Embry and said, "you know that's not likely to happen and what about Kacie? She'd be heartbroken." Embry came over, pulled me off Jake's side, gave me a hug, leaned down and whispered, "You're right. I love Casey and you love Jake. Guess that's a no huh?" I smiled, looked down at Jake and said, "That's a no. But you boys stay here; keep Jake Company while I go talk to Carlisle." I leaned down and kissed Jake's cheek. He turned his head just a little and I caught his lips. I kissed him and walked out smiling.
