I do not own twilight.

Hey guys! So, I've been sick today and I lost my voice so that's been to your benefit cuz it's helped me focus on writing another chapter. I might not get to update tomorrow but I plan on it Sunday. We'll see how it goes. Also please review! let me know how I'm doing!

My decision made I hurry to drive to La Push and in my haste I forgot one thing. Jacob goes to school. But I guess with all my bad luck in life I was overdue for some good luck because when I parked and hurried to the door Jacob came around the side of the house. So here I am. About to knock on the door when I hear, "Bella?"

Boy do I freak out. I must have looked like a freak to him as I jumped clear up in the air. I turn around and my jaw drops. This is Jacob Black? When did he get so... So. Big! My eyes trailed down and down...and down. Wow, he's grown. He has to be at least 6'5. At least. His baby face that I'd grown so used to was all but gone. His long hair pulled back with a band. The dark black shirt stretched over his newly expanded muscles. His legs never ending in dark blue jeans. I was speechless. My eyes were so big you could probably compare them to plates. And was that drool coming out of my mouth? Ummm. I quickly snap my mouth shut and look at his face again and see an amused look in his eyes. And oh my goodness were his eyes gorgeous. No. No. No. No! Stop it Bella, your making a fool out of your self. "Ummm. Hi." Ahh. I'm such a retard. Face palm! That's all I have to say? Ummmm. Hi? I mean, really, who am I? I need to stop this and focus on the pain and ignore this. Umm, this. Whatever this! is. "Don't you have school?" I blurt out. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Safe topic though. Focus on the pain. Breath in. Out. In. Out.

"Not today. We're on a break." He replies. "Is there something I can do for you bells?"

I stare at him with my mouth hanging open and nod slowly. I walk over to my truck and let down the bed. I point to the motorcycles and say, "I wanna fix them, but I'm crap at mechanics. I was wondering. If. You. Ummm. Would like to help me fix them?" I finish with a rush. What if he thinks it's stupid? What if he doesn't want to be around me? Who would?

"But if you don't thats fine I'll just...ummm. Never mind. It was stupid to ask. Your probably really busy and I'm sorry to bother you." I trip over my words just like I trip over my feet.

I close the hatch and start to walk away when I feel a strong hand on my arm. "No! I'd love to Bella! I love working on cars and bikes and well everything. I just don't know if you'd want to spend all your time with me. I mean, I'm sure you have much better things to do than hang out with a sixteen year old. I mean I'm not exactly popular or anything so...umm. Well, I'd understand if you didn't want to do it all the time." He sighs. "Sorry, I'm just rambling now."

I look at him with wonder. Him not popular? If anyone wouldn't want to hang out with anyone it would be him with me. I mean, look at me. I'm dull and boring. Nobody wants me. Not even Edward. Though I always had a feeling my fairy tale would come to an end it was still painful to accept. I blink and murmur, "I'd love to hang out with you Jacob. If anyone should be worried, Jacob, it should be me. I'm sure after a few weeks you'll get so tired of me and kick me out of La Push saying good riddance. I'm just grateful for the time you can give me."

"Ah, bells I could never get tired of you. I've missed you too much. We used to have so much fun together and maybe now we can catch up."

"Yah. That sounds good." And for whatever reason, at that, my stomach settles and a warmth spreads all throughout my body. For some reason I feel, safe, secure, wanted. I relax and say, "Well. Do you want to get started?"

"Definitely!" He opened the bed again and hauled the bikes out. Wow. That's pretty impressive. He made it look like they were made of feathers. I didn't have enough time to ponder that thought as I helped him roll them to the garage.

As the hours passed with us getting to know each other again I finally realized something.

1. I hadn't thought about the pain or him.

2. I had forgotten how much I had actually like to hang out with Jacob.

And

3. I was late for dinner.

I rushed to my truck and hurried home after my feeble attempt to apologize for having to leave. I slowly walked inside, expecting Charlie to be mad but was greeted with the smell of pizza and the sight of a satisfied Charlie. "Hi, Dad. Sorry for being late!" I winced. I wait for him to berate me.

"No Bella. Its fine. It gives you a break and it make me happy to see you hanging out with a friend. I've really worried that you wouldn't find something of interest and I've been talking with Renee about sending you home but I think you'll be fine. Today proves that. Though don't skip school too often. I don't want your grades to go down." My mouth hangs open in surprise. I thought I had him fooled. And how did he know I was with Jacob? Charlie, guessing my thoughts answered my questions. " The school and Billy called me. I'm glad to have you back bells. And that your spending time with Jacob. Help yourself to some pizza." He went back to watching the game and I walked away.

Wow. I ate some pizza and got ready for bed. As I lay there I remember the nights when right now Edward would be holding me and humming my lullaby. But that was no more. There was no more Edward. At least for me. A tear silently drips down my face and the quiet dry heaves I make keep me focused on one thing only. The pain. Oh, the blessed pain. The only thing I have left of Edward.

I start to drift off to sleep and I dream. And even in my dream I miss Edward.
