I felt my jaw hit the floor. Oh. my...Every member of my family including Bella gasped collectively.

Bella tried quickly to gain back her composure because as soon as Jacob had said the word s she nearly passed out. "Th- That's great Jake." she stuttered.

He had to have heard the uncertainty in her voice because he asked "Do you really mean that?"

Bella had now collected herself and her voice was filled with actual happiness when she answered, "Of course Jacob, this is fantastic! I was just surprised 'cause wow! I mean this is insane. In a good way! What are you gonna do? You obviously have to tell her but goodness this gonna get crazy!

"I know I just... I wanted to tell you... and I think I need your help."

"Definitely. Anything you need Jake. Whatever it is. I'm just so happy for you!" Bella was know wearing the biggest grin possible on her face.

"Thank you Bella." The emotion was thick in his voice." I have to go now. The pack has to hear this."

"Bye Jake." Bella shut her phone and set it on her lap.

"Well this is ..."Jasper trailed off, not knowing how to finish the sentence.

"We have to call Carlisle." Edward's voice was strangled. Bella squeezed his hand and stood up with him. He ran up the stairs at super human speed and returned with his black cell phone in hand.

"You could have just used mine." Bella said holding up her cell phone.

Edward looked momentarily confused then surprised at his own obliviousness. Bella looked up worriedly at her soul mate. He just shook his head.

I suddenly couldn't take the thick tension in the room and my silence any more. "This crazy! The dog isn't gonna be hitting on Bella anymore and Ben is gonna be heartbroken and Oh My Holy Crap! Angela is gonna find out about us. This changes everything! What are we gonna do?!"I was panicking more or less and you could tell because I hadn't even said a lot. Usually trying to shut me up is harder than defying gravity but, just now I had gone silent in a matter of seconds.

Jasper tried to send waves of calm over me but they weren't working.

Bella sucked in a huge breath. "Dear God your right. I just realized... If she finds out about Jake she finds out about you!" Now Bella was hyper -ventilating and her face was paler than usual. "This can't be good, this can't be good, this can't good..." she was repeating.

Edward whipped out his cell phone and dialed Carlisle's number at the Hospital. A female receptionist directed Edward to our adopted and tried counting backwards from 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in an effort to calm down. My counting method mixed with Jaspers cool waves of calmness nearly had me at peace until Edwards cold words cut through the silence.

"Carlisle We have a situation." The conversation pretty much went downhill from there. Carlisle assured us that we would all confer about this a s a family ( including Bella of course) but for now we should all just calm down. We would make this work.

The 'what ifs' were plain on everybody's face as Edward tried fervently to calm Bella down. "Bella relax. We'll make this work."

Edward looked up at everybody, his eyes saying what we all thought. We would make this work, wouldn't we?

My mind was going into over drive. Five days a week I sat next Angela at lunch laughing, talking, occasionally gossiping, acting normal and know she was going to be thrown into this already chaotic world in the middle of a war. I was so happy for Jacob and I had no doubt in my mind that Angela would as well be happy but this was not a good situation for anyone to be in. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing in the world that could make me regret choosing this life, choosing Edward, but Angela would no longer be safe. No that she was an imprint she would soon be on the radar. Victoria's radar.

Plus, she was going to find out about the Cullens being vampires. How would she feel about that, about everyday sharing the halls with the mythical creatures that have no doubt at some point served in her nightmares and having never known. And would the wolves make Angela see the Cullens as they do or would my loving Edward make a big enough impression on her that she might be able to see how good they truly were.

But most importantly was this. Could. She keep. The secret. On one hand I found Angela extremely strong and trustworthy. I really liked Angela and could see why Jacob would imprint on her. On the other hand Angela was such a sweet innocent girl, so much so that it made me wary of her ability to lie to the ones she loved in order to keep the secret.

The ones she loved... and that got me thinking. When involved in this world, whether you're with the vampires or the wolves, you eventually have to give up the things and people you hold close to you heart in order to keep them safe. That's exactly why I did everything in my power, besides ditching Angela completely, to make sure that after high school Angela and I would have absolutely no reason to communicate. She really loved her brothers, her parents, her friends,...her boyfriend.

Ben was such a sweet kid but, if I was being honest, he was no match for Jacob. Ben was going to be heartbroken. Angela would never want to hurt Ben, but I could already see it. Angela falling for Jacob. Both of them were such strong people with big hearts. Both of them made friends with almost everyone. Both of them were just kind- spirited. And I guess if I put aside everything else I was feeling I was glad that Angela was going to be a part of this.

It might be kind of nice to talk Angela about all of the things that I can't to biased parties.

I just hope she'll be okay.

Okay! Wow! I got four reviews in a nice amount of time and I was inspired to write again. I have a vow though that I forgot to mention in the first Chap.
