A/N
Ok, well thanks to all you lovely guy's and girl's who have been reading my story and an extra big thanks to those who reviewed, now on we go to chapter 2.
Okay, I have officially died and went somewhere else, I have to have done - otherwise why would this be happening to me…now? Here I was standing stock still in the middle of the road (which I might add is not a safe place for anyone to be - let alone someone as clumsy as me) as Carlisle Cullen strode towards me with a look on his face I can only describe as a cross between extreme frustration and anger?
"Bella, what on earth did you think you were doing?" Carlisle said as he came to a stop in front of me. "You deliberately went to the reservation knowing that it wasn't safe and that the people living there have no reason to put their lives at risk to protect you should anything happen". I felt my head snap up at this "That's not true Carlisle and you know it, Jake would protect me - I know he would" I finished meeting his topaz eyes with my own brown one's as if to challenging him to doubt my trust Jakes ability to protect me. "Well that's just great Bella, one young werewolf against one clever and ruthless vampire - that we know of, tell me…" Carlisle said lowering his head closer to mine "How long do you think he would last before she ripped him limb from limb just to get at you?…… a minute, maybe two? "Do you really want to put Jake in that kind of danger Bella?"
I felt my head drop so my chin was resting on my chest he's right I thought. How could I be so selfish to risk Jakes life just so I can feel better about myself. I became aware that there was a pair of cold hands holding my warm ones. "listen Bella, I'm sorry I had to say that to you" he said while pulling me closer "But you have to realise the danger involved here, this isn't just going to disappear overnight and I don't want to loose you".
I felt one of his hands let go of mine and move to my chin as he tilted my head up to face him. Carlisle cares about me? "You care about me?" I asked him. "Of course I do Bella, you're one of the family". Huh.. one of the family that's nice but it's not the answer I wanted, I can't have the answer I want. I want to ask him why I am just family to him, that is there anyway I could be more than that - but I can't so I don't, instead I say the next best thing "Where's Edward?"
