Hey guys,

In the previous chapter, Bella has been hanging around with Jacob and surely this makes him happy. Though, he gets concerned when she begins to act weird once he mentions her screaming that night. What's wrong with Bella? How will Jake take the news? Keep reading to find out ! :)

Bella's POV

"Something up, Bells?"

Asked Jacob. His eyes were full of confusion. I wanted to tell Jacob the truth because he was my best friend and also because my heart ached everytime I think of how I betrayed his beautiful soul. I stared into his dark eyes and let out a sigh. It was time I tell Jacob the truth no matter how much it will hurt me to say. My hands began to shake as I thought of what the truth could lead us to become and how this could mean that I'd never see Jacob again.

"Jake, there's something I have to tell you but before I say anything, I want to tell you that I understand if you don't want to see me again." Jacob chuckled and I froze in surprise.

"Bella, I'm pretty sure nothing would lead me to that." Jake said with a grin. "Anyway, tell me." I scratched my head, wondering where I should start. I took his arm away from my shoulders but he just shook his head, mumbled something like "Silly Bella" and held my hand. He then squeezed it and I started to talk.

"Jacob, when Edward left me I came to you for comfort. Though, the main reason you seemed to comfort me was because every time we'd do something somewhat dangerous, I'd hear Edward's voice. It was crystal clear and it made me feel like he was there with me-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because Jake cut me off.

"Basically, the only thing comforting you was his voice, which you were able to hear because I was there, doing idiotic things with you. What was I thinking?" He said. Then I noticed that I was shaking but I wasn't cold. I looked down at my hand that was intertwined with Jake's and I noticed that I wasn't the one shaking. It was Jacob's body that shook uncontrollably and I was being shook because of the vibrations coming off his body. He took his hand away from mine and stood up. His large form made me feel like a small child who was scared of the big, intimidating bully. Though, I could never think of Jacob that way. He was no bully. I was the bully. It was I who had hurt this innocent, loving person. Though I knew I was a bad person for using Jacob, I learnt that I couldn't live without him because after all the dangerous games we played, he had been there for me when Edward wasn't, he had made me smile when nobody could and after all, he had given me enough time to realize that I needed his very soul to live a happy life. He had given me enough time to realize that I loved him, too. Jake stared at me one final time and walked away from me.

"Jacob, wait, I'm not done." I yelled but he continued to walk away from me but he still spoke.

"Really, Bella? Well I'm sorry, it was selfish of me to walk away from you like that when you clearly weren't finished talking." He said bitterly. I got up and walked towards. I looked into his anger-filled eyes. Though Jacob was tall, muscular and shaking so much that I could hardly see his body clearly, I wasn't scared. I put my hand on his arm and spoke calmly.

"What I was going to say is that, I know it was selfish of me to use you but while I was playing this "game" I noticed that I love you." Instantly, Jacob stopped shaking.

"The reason I left the kitchen table so abruptly this morning was because I was afraid I was going to lose you once I told you why I had come to you in the first place and that you wouldn't believe my feelings for you." I said while I blushed. I let my hand slide from his arm down to the side of my waist. Jacob then took both my hands in his and put them to his face. While my hands stayed caressing his face, his own hands slid down my arms and down each of my sides and I shivered. They stopped moving once they reached my waist. He looked back up into my eyes as if he was searching for something and smiled.

"It's about time you came to your senses." Jake said with a silly grin.

"Does this mean that you're not leaving?"

"I've stayed this long and I'm not going anywhere, ever." He said as he pulled me close to him.
