AN: Hey everyone, so I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has shown this story support, especially those who took time to review. I really didn't expect such a big response… so thanks.

Ok so I hope you all like this chapter… I really like writing from Peters POV so most of this chapter will be from that.

Oh and I just want to say SORRY that it has been like... well forever since I have updated, I have been busy with Uni stuff so I didn't get a chance to write and quite frankly I didn't really know where to go with the story, so it took many many attempts to write this so I was happier with it… I hope to be quicker next time.

Chapter 2:

PPOV

2: 29 AM … Great I had managed to waste another hour just lying here in bed in some cheap motel that I had found after leaving Bella's last night. Bella, she was the reason that sleep was evading me. The possibilities of what she was up to with him, how he was comforting her never ceased to draw out sadness and anger from me. But I knew it was irrational, I didn't even know her so I didn't have a claim to stake. But God I wanted to know her, I wanted to be able to call her mine to be able to love someone and have someone love me back, to be able to wrap my arms around her and feel her small frame pressed against mine. And with that thought sleep finally claimed me.

I woke up in a cold sweat my heart pounding fast with fear and adrenalin rushing through my veins, these nightmares are not uncommon, memories of war tend to take over your dreams. No sunshine and rainbows for me. I forced myself out of bed my muscles straining and aching from the hard bed, thoughts of the bloodshed I had just remembered running through my mind. Coffee I thought, I need coffee.

I walked a short distance before I saw a small diner that looked kind of rundown but I doubt that I will find anything much better in a town that has a population this size. The smell of coffee and bacon immediately hit me and I noticed that the diner held more people than I expected. The walls were a white cream colour that blended well into the wooden looking floors, there were various pictures and posters that lined the walls that gave the room that homey diner feel.

"What can I get you handsome?" a young blond stated, leaning over a little too far allowing the front of her shirt to fall open slightly. Slut I thought.

"Just a coffee and whatever is the breakfast special thanks." I stated trying to portray my disinterest in my voice.

"Coming right up sugar."

Trying to ignore the waitresses shameless flirting I chanced a glance around the diner subconsciously knowing who I was looking for, and I was not disappointed. There she sat in the far corner drinking coffee and reading a worn old book. Her eyes were slightly puffy from crying and she looked as though she didn't sleep at all, God she was still beautiful though.

I had been through some of the most frightening situations and of course the thought of walking over there and talking to her seemed to be the toughest thing that I had ever had to face. Your acting like a girl, I scolded myself, man up.

Taking a deep breath I walked over to her, as I reached the table she glanced up at me and gave the briefest of smiles. She was so close and I seemed to get lost in those brown orbs. What I wouldn't give for her just to be mine. The chiming of the bell over the door alerting the staff to a new customer brought me back to reality. Shit I haven't said anything yet.

"Umm… Hi" I forced out. Brilliant, idiot.

"Hey" she replied back.

"How are you doing? You know with..." I trailed off.

"Coping, it's hard but I'm… coping." She struggled to get out. "Jasper helped me to deal with it a lot last night." Yeah I bet he did.

"That's good" was my lame reply, but really what do you say to that? For a minute neither of us said anything.

"W-w-will you have l-lunch with m-me?" I blurted out. Crap I didn't mean to say that. Those beautiful brown orbs registered shock and something else I couldn't place. All I could think was 'nice one idiot' after all what would this goddess see in me, a damaged man with way too many issues. So I waited nervously for her to turn me down hope still present at the back of my mind.

"Umm, sure." She replied. Huh?

"What?" I said, surely I misheard her… right?

"I said I would have lunch with you." She smiled back at me.

"Great!" I all but shouted. "Can I come pick you up at say, 11:30am?" I continued trying to keep the utter excitement out of my voice. She never said it was a date remember.

"that sounds fine, I'll see you then" she stood and collected her things, giving me one more breathtaking smile before turning and walking out of the door.

Happiness bubbled up through me as I realized that I had a date with the brown eyed beauty that I had come to care for so quickly. Not a date I reminded myself, anyway she may have had a boyfriend she probably just wants answers.

Time moved slower than I expected, but then doesn't it always when you are looking forward to something. But still 11:30 arrived and I found myself knocking on Bella's door.

"Hey Peter" she smiled at me as she opened the door. My name sounded so good coming from her lips.

"Hey Bella" I replied absently while my eyes inconspicuously travelled down her body appraising her appearance. She was dressed casually in jeans and a form fitting hoddie, but her outfit managed to show off her curvy body just enough to leave me wanting more. Focus I reprimanded myself.

"So I have a confession" I admitted, "I have no idea where we are going, I haven't been here very long."

She giggled at my statement. "Peter its Forks, the diner you were in this morning is about the only place to go." She giggled again.

"Ok then, in that case let's get going." I said as I opened the passenger side car door for her.

"Thanks" she said softly.

I was relieved to find the slutty waitress from this morning not on when we arrived.

"How old were you when you joined the army?" she asked once we were seated and eating.

"19, what do you do for a living?" I replied quickly, trying not to dwell on the topic of war.

She smiled at something over my shoulder and I didn't have to wait long before I knew what it was.

"Hey Bella" the distinctly male voice called. Great pretty boy was here, way to run a good day.

"Jazz, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I thought I would come check on you and when you weren't at home I came here" he said, shooting me a glare. "Don't mind if I join you do you? Great thanks" he said pulling up a chair.

Only in my life could I go from having a great lunch with the girl of my dreams to having lunch with the girl of my dreams and her boyfriend.

My life sucks.

AN: Ok so what did you think? I had a bit of trouble writing this so I hope it was ok.

Please review and tell me what you think... And like I said earlier I will try my best to get the next update to you all very soon.
