Chapter 2 .

After sitting at First Beach a little longer I figured that it was time that I head back to Edward's house. It was getting dark, I was tired, and I knew that I needed to get back before they started to worry about me. On the drive back to the house I tried to gather my thoughts so no one would tell that anything was wrong. It was times like these that I was glad that Edward couldn't hear my thoughts. I felt bad that I was going to have to lie to him, but I knew that it was better off that he didn't know because, he would just get mad if he knew that I had talked to Jacob. As I pulled in the drive and shut off my truck, I sat there for a minute so I could have a little more time to myself. I was deep in thought thinking about how after tomorrow the Cullen's would be my new family, and as much as I was excited to be a part of their family, it terrified me also. It was during that thought that Edward must have came up to the driver's side of the truck. I didn't realize that he was there until I went to get out.

"Holy crow Edward, give me a heart attack why don't you." I said as I was getting out of my truck. I was about to head into the house when Edward grabbed me, and just embraced me in his arms for awhile. When he finally looked down at me it was then, that I saw the worried look on his face.

"Bella, where have you been? You had us all worried and when Alice couldn't see you, I-I was afraid something had happened to you." He said, as he took my face in his hands. "Bella, please next time that you go out just let me know where you are going so I won't worry like that again."

"I'm sorry Edward. I never meant for you to be worried it's just that things have been so stressful lately. I just wanted some time to myself where I could think through my thoughts, and be alone for a few hours." I said and felt horrible that he had worried so much while I was gone.

Edward still had his arm around me as we walked into the house. I was glad to see that the house was empty when we walked in, for I don't think I could handle them telling me they were worried about me. Since it was just me and Edward in the house I figured this would be a good time for just us to hang out. It seems like with everything going on lately, that we really haven't had much time with each other, but that was all going to change after tomorrow. I must of had a smile on my face cause Edward was looking at me funny.

"What are you thinking about?" he said, with a puzzled look on his face like he really wished that he could hear my thoughts.

I smiled at him and said, "I was just thinking about how lately we haven't really had much time to ourselves. And how after tomorrow all that will change and we will have all the time in the world." and by the look on his face I could tell that he still didn't fully approve of turning me, but he had promised me that he would. I went to sit next to him on the sofa in the living room. "Since we have time to ourselves how about we watch Romeo and Juliet."

"You mean you want to watch it again, you have seen it so many times already, don't you ever get tired of it?" he said gently, and kissed me on the forehead. Even though I knew that he really didn't want to watch it he put it in for me anyways. Edward came back to the sofa and sat next to me. I was kinda tired so I layed my head in his lap and watched the movie.Throughout the movie, he would mess with my hair, and rubbed the back of his palm across my cheek. I guess I ended up going to sleep cause the next thing I knew I was dreaming. I was dreaming about the meeting I had with Jake earlier but it was different.

Bella's Dream

It was a werewolf but I knew that it was Jacob.

"Jake wait!" I said pleadingly to him.

Then he was gone and I was beginning to think that it really wasn't him then suddenly he reappeared as the human Jacob.

"Bella, what are you doing here" he asked questioningly.

"I have been coming here everyday since your dad called and told me that you had ran off. For some reason I had hoped that one day while I was sitting here that you would come back." I said and turned to look at him.

"Bells, I don't know what to say I'm sorry that I had you worried. Is something worng though you look upset and why are you all the way out here." he said wondering.

"Its nothing, its just that since you have been gone nothing has felt right to me anymore. I thought that you weren't coming back and I was hurt thinking how bad it would be not to have my best friend there tomorrow" I said, and saw a distraught look play across his face. It was in that moment that I knew he was going to say something that I didn't want to hear.

"I'm so sorry Bella, but I just can't come tomorrow. I can't watch you marry that Bloodsucker and be happy for you when I know what he is going to do to you" he said, with so much force an anger that it scared me for a moment. It was then that I saw Jake begin to shake and I knew he was close to changing. I knew I had to watch myself because if Jacob changed I knew he would end up hurting me by accident. I backed away from him to give him a little room just in case.

"Jake calm down!" I exclaimed. I knew it was going to take a lot to calm him because I knew how much he hated Edward. But there wasn't much I could do to help him unless I wanted to get hurt. So I stood there hoping, praying, and waiting for him to settle down. Everything that happened next seem to happen so fast I almost didn't have time to comprehend what was really going on.

All of a sudden out of nowhere Edward shows up.

"Bella, Come on it's time to go home" I heard him say. I stood there shocked and I couldn't move. Edward glared at me willing me to move and finally I was able. It was then though that I realized that he had just broken the treaty by coming to First Beach. At that moment I turned around to look at Jake and he was already in his werewolf form.

"Jacob No!" I cried desperately. I knew then that he was thinking about killing Edward for breaking the treaty.

Why did Edward cross that stupid line I thought to myself. Of course I knew that if anything happend to either one of them it was all my fault. I shouldn't have come out here in the first place because if I hadn't then we wouldn't be in this situation. It was then that Edward pushed me out of the way and I feel to my knees. When I looked back up was when I saw Jacob take a jump at Edward.

"Edward! Jacob! Stop fighting!" I yelled at them even though I knew it was a hopeless cause. I knew they wouldn't stop until one of them was dead. I begun to sob uncontrollably and I buried my face in my hands. I couldn't bear to watch them knowing that one of them would inevitably die and I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening. I could still hear them going at it minutes later and I thought I was going to die from the whole that was beginning to form in my chest at the loss I was going to have to bear after this was over.

The noises they had made fighting had stopped and I wiped at the wet tears that had fallen down my cheeks with the palm of my hand. As I looked up Edward was standing there in front of me. For some reason a wave of relief washed over me to see that he was okay. But that was when it struck me about Jacob. Where was he? Was he still alive? I looked around for him and couldn't find him. It was when I looked near the grass by the tree line that I saw Jacob. He was still in his werewolf form but even from where I was I knew that he was gone. I got up and ran to where Jake layed and dropped to my knees. Even though I knew that he was to heavy I tired to put his head in my lap. The tears began to fall again and this time they felt like they wouldn't ever stop. I didn't want to leave him but Edward had been trying to pull me away from him. I leaned down to Jake and kissed him on the nose one last time.

"I Love You Jacob," I whispered softly in his ear.

I woke up startled to find myself alone.
