"Jacob, it's about dang time you got here. You know they don't pay over time." The valley kid said. "Sorry Seth, practice ran late." Jacob said his eyes never leaving mine, "Bella Swan, is that you?"

"Um, yes it is. It has been ages." Was all I could mutter as the crush of my childhood stood in front of me. I have not seen him since I was in high school. He lived in La Push on the Indian reservation with his father. Charlie use to bring me over to visit before one of the many fishing trips the two men use to go on. That left Jacob Black and I to become friends. But my senior year, he asked me to prom and I turned him down. Honestly I did have other plans but he didn't seem to believe me as our friendship fell apart. I went off to WSU to escape Charlie before I could patch things up with Jacob. So to say the least, my heart dropped when I seen him standing in front of me.

"Is that your car?" He asked pointing, mouth dropped.

"Yeah, it's her car. And Bells we need to get going if we're going to pack your stuff up and make the flight tonight." Carlisle said seemingly impatient which is not normal for him. I looked at him; he seemed tense for some reason.

"Well, maybe I'll see you around town?" Jacob asked with hope filling his eyes. I stayed silent. Emmet took it as a chance for him to be protective.

"Did you not hear dude?" Emmet said flexing his muscles, "We are leaving out on a plane tonight." He finished grabbing my arm and pushing me into my car as he went to the other side and got into the passenger side.

I seen Jacob raise an eyebrow then shrug and lead Seth to what must have been his car.

Emmet's phone rang and he picked it up, "Hello?"

"What was that for? The guy seemed interested in Bella; do you want her to stay single forever?" I heard Alice bellow into the phone. It made me pout thinking that she should stay out of my business, especially when it came to my love life, even if it isn't in existence at this moment.

"Oh, I think she heard you." He responded smiling at me trying to cool my temper because I was flaming, "Besides, by the look in her eyes she looked as if she wanted to die instead of seeing this guy. She didn't want to be near him."

"Will you stop talking as if I'm not here?" I spoke lividly.

"Alice, I better let you go." Emmet said into the phone as he hung up without waiting for a reply.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked.

"I don't know." I said.

He raised an eyebrow, "Was I right in knowing that you wanted to get out of there?"

"Yes, I felt bad."

"What happened, did you fall and spill something on him?" Emmet asked trying to make a joke of it.

"No."

"Bella come on you can tell me."

"Do you really want to know?"

"Bella, yes just trust me." I sighed.

"I left him."

"So you broke up with him?"

"No, we never dated. My senior year he asked me to prom. I turned him down because I had plans. He didn't believe me. Barely a day after I graduated I moved away from Forks, away from Charlie. Jacob must think I moved away to get away from him." I finished staring only at the road.

"Bella, you have to stop thinking that way, like everything is a consequence of your actions. If he wanted to find you and talk to you he would have found you before tonight. He only had four years. Don't feel guilty when he tried just as hard to reconnect with you as you did." He finished leaving me surprised. Emmet is such a jokester but when the time is needed he is there with advice and comfort. Sort of like the brother I never had. I guess the title cousin is close enough.

We were quiet for the rest of the ride to my apartment. He followed me up and started bringing my already packed boxes down to my car. This Challenger may not have a very roomy back seat but it sure had a large trunk. We were on our way down when Alice and Jasper were walking up the stairs.

"I'm sorry Bella; I didn't realize it was that Jacob." She said hugging me awkwardly because of the box in my arms.

"It's okay; I know you just want me to be happy." I placed my box down so I could hug her fully. "I will miss you; make sure you call me at least once a week." I told her.

"Oh Bella, didn't I tell you? I'm moving to San Francisco to live with Jasper. We will be able to visit often enough, almost like freshman year before you and I moved in together." She said jumping up and down.

"Alice, that's wonderful." I said once again embracing her.

"That's all fine and dandy but Bella we have to get going. The plane leaves at six." Emmet said walking past me on his way back up to get more of my boxes. More than likely it will be the last load because he can carry so much and I have so little that I needed to bring with me.

"Fine, by Alice, I'll call when I get off the plain then?"

"Sounds good" she said as she began walking up the stairs hauling Jasper behind her. More than likely they were getting a hotel to stay in tonight.

When we got to the air port, Esme and Carlisle where waiting for us in the parking lot. "So here is some gas money, we'll see you when you get home." Carlisle said handing me a wad of cash.

"What?" I asked.

"You didn't think we were just going to leave your car here, we figured you would like some time bonding with it. Oh and Emmet of course, we wouldn't want you to be alone." She said as if she were telling me that I was going for a walk instead of driving all of the way from Washington to California.

"Cha-ching." Emmet said as he gave me a hug, "Road trip, just you and I Bells. This is going to be sweet!"

"We have to go now have fun and we'll call you when we get off the plane." Esme said hugging me, kissing my cheek. She went to Emmet and whispered in his ear as she hugged him goodbye. Carlisle hugged me then patted Emmet on the shoulder.

As soon as the two entered the doors to the airport Emmet spun on me. "Can I drive?" he asked using a pout that so didn't fit him. I swear Alice can rub off on people in even after spending a little amount of time with them. I crossed my arms holding my keys, or button I should say, in plain view as if I were thinking about it. Although he does scare me with his speed, he is still a better driver.

"Fine." I said tossing him the keys as I headed towards the passenger seat. His face went up in a grand grin making me laugh. By the way he acted; it would seem that he was a sixteen-year-old driving for the first time.

"Off to your new life then." He stated as he got in and started the engine, my bad, as he started the Hemi.
