J.P.O.V

I paced back and forth in the hospital room. I had never been more relieved to be away from Bella. She was the exact person I thought she would be. What was I expecting her to return home and be the same. This new Bella I knew nothing about. She was still the most beautiful person I have ever seen. But she was a celebrity. She replaced everything that mattered in her life for fame. That was something she could do without. But I hope she is happy with the way her life turned out.

I knew that I upset her. That was what I wanted to do. I want her to believe that I have this perfect and complete life here without her. The truth is that I don't. I'm engaged to someone that I'm not in love with. I can't fall in love with her because of Bella. I held on to her for as long as I could but looking at her now I know that Bella is not the girl I am madly in love with. That girl died a long time ago when she left me.

I turned to see Charlie's eyes open. He was looking at me, watching my movement not saying a word. I smiled lightly.

"Bella must be here," Charlie said.

"How would you know?"

"One because I sent you to get her and two because you are stressing, you look like a mad man pacing back and forth."

"I'm not stressing. Oh and Bella is not here. Bee is here," I said coldly.

Charlie laughed lightly.

"Jake Bella has grown up. I know its tuff because the last time you saw her she was 16 but you have to realize Bella is 25. She does not have the same values anymore."

"Speak for yourself. I'll go get her for you," I said.

I exited the room. Bella was nowhere in sight. I made my way over to the rep desk.

"Hey excuse me have you seen a brunette with platform heels and designer shades I guess. She was with a blonde flamboyant guy."

The lady at the rep desk smiled enthusiastically and shook her head yes.

"I saw Bee Swan. You know her? Is she your friend? She was in the movie Purple heartbreak. I cried throughout the entire movie," she babbled.

"Can you point me in the direction she went in?"

"The main entrance," she pointed.

I walked at a fast pace. I could not believe she was going to ditch her dad at a time like this. What the hell is wrong with her? Exiting the main entrance I found Bella sitting in a chair. She had a cigarette in her mouth. It must have been like heaven smoking that cigarette. I could tell from her facial expression. She turned to face me with her piercing brown eyes. I could finally see them. They were not longer hiding behind thick designer frames. She sighed lightly.

"Your dad is diagnosed for cancer and you are out here smoking a cigarette," I said confused.

Bella stood to her feet.

"It's a stress reliever. When I'm feeling stressed I smoke a cigarette. What am I breaking some stupid forks law?"

"No but I thought you had a little more respect for yourself and Charlie."

"Is he awake yet?" she asked

"Yes he is. Where is your friend?"

"Getting us lattes," she said.

I rolled my eyes.

"I thought you hated coffee."

"I did. But it has grown on me."

Bella walked towards me. She had the most sincere look on her face. I almost feel for it…almost.

"Can we talk? I mean really talk?" she asked

"No. it's in the past. Let's leave it there. Charlie wants to see you," I said heading towards the door.

She smiled lightly.

"Tell him I'll be right up. I just need to finish this cigarette."

I headed inside. Deep down inside I wanted to talk about what happened. I wanted to hear why she did what she did. But I wanted to talk on my time not hers.

B.P.O.V

I took the last puff from my cigarette and sighed. This was going to be a long night. Jake was not making any attempts to make amends. I was beginning to feel like an asshole for trying. It was no use. I was so low in his eyes. I doubt if he would ever be my friend again. I could hear the sound of dress shoes approaching. I turned to see Oliver.

"One latte for my best diva," he said.

I took the cup from his hand and took a sip. Oliver smiled lightly.

"Try not to look so depressed."

"I'm just tired," I lied.

"You can't lie to me girl. I know you inside out. This man has you bent over backwards and for what? Listen you had better get your mojo back immediately. If he sees you mopping around and waiting on him he's going to continue to treat you like this."

"We are not in high school Oliver. Jake is not playing any game. He really hates me and it's my entire fault."

"Bella you can't beat yourself up over this. Why is Jake even an issue now? He was never an issue before."

"The reality on my life in forks can't hurt me in L.A. But moving back here has opened up the very deep wounds from my teenage years. It's hard because I don't think I'll ever get over him."

"Bee you have to give him time. This is your first day back. You should focus more on your dad and career."

"Oh shit my dad…"

I grabbed Oliver's hand and headed inside. We did not slow down until we were center meters away from his room. Oliver stopped.

"Come on," I told him.

"I can't. You go inside. I'll be here when you get back."

I entered the room to find Charlie sitting up in his bed. Jacob sat in a chair by his dad Billy, who was still asleep. I walked slowly towards the bed as the tears filled my eyes. I hated seeing my dad like this. Charlie was not this person. He was always so strong and fearless but not anymore. Now he was weak and fearful. I walked over to the bed and sat down. I wrapped my arms tightly around him.

"Bells I missed you so much," he said to me.

"Me too dad I'm sorry that you are going through this."

"Don't worry about me because I'll be fine. I'm glad to see Jacob got you here safely."

"Yea I made it here without a scratch thanks to Jake," I said nonchalantly.

Charlie looked over at Jake and smiled.

"How is Mia?" Charlie asked

Jake sighed. I kept my attention on Charlie. I really did not want to know who Mia was. The feeling in my gut told me that Mia was somebody I did not want to know.

"She is alright I guess. She's been really sick lately but I don't know why," he said.

"Maybe it's morning sickness. You may just have a little bun in that oven," Charlie said.

I was going to be sick. Thinking of whom Mia was and the possibility of her having a bun in the oven made me want to faint.

"Maybe Bella could be a godmother or something? Right Bells…"

Had Charlie lost his Damn mind? The medication must be talking because if he thought I would be a god parent to Jacob's baby with someone else he was crazy. I looked at Charlie speechless.

"I'm no good with kid's dad," I lied. I actually loved kids.

"Sure you are."

I smiled lightly.

"Dad when are you being released?" I asked

"I still have a full week in this place but Jake will help you out around the house until I get home."

I shook my head no.

"It's alright. I have a male friend visiting with me. I won't need Jacob's services anymore."

I turned my nose up in Jakes direction. He had a wicked expression on his face. He knew that he was getting to me. It was amusing to him and pissing me off.
