Disclaimers out of the way, I would like to thank all the reviewers. You guys made me so happy! So here, the next chapter, as requested.

I got through the next hour with Charlie with my eyes completely dry. Of course, while talking to Charlie, my mind was far away.

Why did Edward come back? He told me he didn't love me, so there was no reason for his return. Maybe he just missed his house. Yeah, that was probably it. He definitely didn't come back to see me, that's for sure. But why then, had he come to my house? It all didn't make any sense, but nothing made sense these days.

As soon as Charlie left, I broke down again. Jake tried to cook some food, but I was the only chef in the house and I ended up just having a can of Coke for dinner. Jake let me cry on his lap and wet his shirt.

I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was in bed and Jacob wasn't there. Ugh. Where could he be? Probably with the pack, since he didn't get to go tonight. I wonder of Sam and Kim felt the same way as I did.

I wasn't tired anymore and since I didn't have much of a dinner, I decided to get a midnight snack. After heating up some leftover pizza, I sat on the couch and turned on the TV, but I ended up just thinking about what happened today.

My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. I shook my head. Why would Jake knock? He should have the key. I heaved myself off the couch anyways.

When I opened the door, two smoldering golden eyes were looking at me. I screamed out loud again. Edward looked around nervously.

"Shh, Bella. I'm not going to hurt you. Please, stay quiet." His eyes pleaded with me. I couldn't say anything, I was in a state of shock. Gently, he pulled me towards the couch again and on his lap. I resisted the urge to scream and regained my composure.

"I'll stand." I mumbled.

Quickly he nodded. "Look Bella, I know I've hurt you a lot, but please, just listen to what I have to say. When I left, I had no intentions to harm you. Truly, I thought that my absence would be to your benefit. I wanted you to have your change at a normal life, a life without vampires. But when I told you I didn't love you, that was the biggest lie I've ever said in my life." He paused briefly to peek at my reaction.

I kept my face blank, but my mind was so confused. What did he just say? He loved me?

"When I was gone, I love you the whole time. I still love you now. I love you much more than that werewolf does. Why are you even living with him anyways?"

"We're married." I whispered so soft, I couldn't even be sure I said it.

His face dropped every emotion that was on his face before. "You're married?" He whispered back.

I didn't say anything and he took that as a confirmation. I watched his face and waited for his anger to come. When it didn't, he just stood up.

"Oh okay. Well that's fine. I better get going then. Well, have a good time with Jacob, Bella." He said, and walked swiftly to the door and closed it.

I was left stunned. My knees gave in and I fell onto the couch in an uncomfortable position but I was too astonished to move.

Jacob found me a half hour later like that. "Oh Bella, what's wrong?" He said as he scooped me off the couch and onto his lap. He seemed to be trying to sniff something.

His voice suddenly turned into rage. "Did he come back? He better not have-"

I shook my head. "Bad dream," He nodded and carried me back into our room and tucked me in under the covers. "Jake, please don't leave me." I whimpered.

His eyebrows knit together in confusion. "Of course I won't Bells. I just need to go change, and I'll be right there." He said and kissed my forehead.

I fell asleep before Jacob even came back. My dreams haunted me. Vampire against werewolf…
