I know that it took way longer then I was hoping to get this chapter out. I am open to reviews that will help me improve my writing, or if you want you can PM if you have any ideas for the future of the story. This is my first story so I know it is not great but I am trying!

Bella changed from her pajamas into her favorite comfort outfit - blue jeans and gray t-shirt. Her heart was racing thinking about the ways that she could tell Jacob how she feels, but in the end decided that she was just going to go with the flow. There had been plenty of times in the past where she was supposed to go to him with one set thing to tell him. Get out of the truck and just tell him straight out. Well…that never happened. Nothing ever happens the way she planned it to when it came to him.

She felt herself become nervous. What if he decided to give up? What if he didn't have those feelings about her anymore? The worst feeling she got was when she thought about the possibility of him having started to date someone and she was just never told. Bella began to pace again when she heard a knock on her door.

"Bells" she heard in Charlie's anxious voice.

She opened the door and he looked at her the way he does when he is concerned.

"Bells, you are going to wear a hole in your floor if you keep pacing like that, is everything alright?"

Bella looked back at him with a mixture happiness and fear.

"Yeah dad, I'm just getting ready to visit Jacob"

Bella knew that any time she mentioned going to see Jacob; he felt that a curfew was not necessary because Charlie had known the Black family before Jacob was even born. Charlie was always hoping that one day she would come home and tell him about her realization that Jacob was the one, but she wasn't going to tell him. At least not yet. Not when she hadn't told Jacob and not when she had no idea how Jacob would react.

Bella stopped her truck in Jacob's driveway. He saw her pull up and ran to her side. She had not been to the reservation since the last fight she had with Edward.

"What did he do now?" he asked. Bella looked at her feet and kicked the dirt.

"Why do you think he always did something?" She looked into his eyes like a child who is afraid to get grounded.

"Oh I don't know, let me see, the past 6 times you have come to see me instead of calling you just finished fighting with him. It is closer to here then your house, and you hate when Charlie sees you like that because then he reminds you that you can do better then Edward." Bella looked down again letting a tear escape but before she could wipe it away Jacob's warm hand reached up.

"He really messed with you this time didn't he? Bells why can't you get it through your head that he isn't right for you? How many times to I have to tell you that I can treat you like you deserve to be treated, that I can keep you just as safe as he can?" Jacob took a deep breath in and looked into Bella's eyes with such intensity that it took her breath away.

"I have flesh and blood, I am..." He looked away. He wanted to tell Bella that he is better then Edward, but knew that it wasn't the time. She was hurt and the last thing she needed was to be hurt more. Jacob took her hand and led her into the garage where they hung out.

"Just like you left it" he said looking at the wall

"Well, except for the hole Quil put there."

Bella laughed and noticed that for the first time in almost 6 weeks that she was happy. Genuinely happy, not just faking it. Maybe this was where she was meant to be. Edward was pushing her away and it was for all the wrong reasons, but she didn't think that she could handle it any more. The fighting was never going to stop and she knew that, but deep down inside she hoped that it would at least slow down. Bella looked at Jacob.

"You know that you are right." He looked at her with curiosity.

"Um thanks...but what am I right about?" Bella inhaled and took Jacob's hand with both of hers laughing at the size difference. "You are what is right for me. I know that, I just needed to mess up before I was able to accept it. I love Edward, but it is never going to work out with us. I just don't know how to tell him." another tear escaped Bella's eye as she said this.

Jacob pulled Bella in for a hug and felt the tears running down her face. He held her and let her cry for an hour before letting her go.

"Bella, maybe you should just tell him quick, like ripping off a band aid, or so I hear, I heal too fast to even bother opening one." Bella wanted to laugh because she knew that it was funny but her mind was working over time trying to figure out how to tell Edward that he was not what she wanted.
