Chapter 3: More Burning Questions

It had been 5 days since Bella had gotten back to Forks and the dinner she thought was going to go very wrong was surprisingly fun. It was her, Seth, Charlie, and Sue. Leah hadn't shown up because she was 'Patroling', but Bella knew better she knew Leah just didn't want to be around her and honestly the feeling was mutual.

Bella had found out that Charlie now knew everything about the wolves and the Cullens, which she freaked out on Seth because she knew that that would put her father in more danger and she was the one that wanted to tell Charlie about her involvement with the Cullens.

She had thought Charlies reaction was going to be so much worse than it was but all he said was "At least you got away from them when you did, they are nice 'people' and all but I always knew there was something off about them."

Bella couldn't believe that was all she was getting, there were no arguements, no yelling, nothing just that statement. In a way she was relieved but at the same time she had wondered how he had found out and she had guessed that by the confused look on her face Seth knew what she was thinking.

" 'Billy' thought Charlie had the right to know since he was getting involved with Mom and with Leah and I gone at all hours of the night patroling, he said it was time to tell Charlie the truth."

She knew just by the way he had said 'Billy' that it wasn't really him who made the descision it was Jake.

Bella hadn't seen anyone of the others from the pack except Paul and Seth. Paul just when he had picked her up at the airport and Seth she had seen everyday since and today was not any different.

Bella was upstairs in old room looking for something to wear, she had just gotten out of the shower and was planning on going apartment search today. She loved staying with Charlie and he had said multiple times that she didn't have to rush trying to find an apartment but she knew him and Sue need there privacy.

He had afford to help her pay for an apartment but she had enough money to last her awhile from, the work she was doing while she was gone and the amount of money the Cullens had put aside for her even though many times she had tried to give it back Carlisle and Esme would not take no for an answer so she kept it only using it when she absolutely had to.

Just as she had gotten out a black pair of leggings she was going to pair with a flowy maroon colored top and her favorite pair of UGG boots she heard a knock on the door.

'Crap,' she thought to herself how was she going to answer that when she was still in her towel. She was just about to tell whoever was at the door she would be down in a minute when the knocking got louder and more annoying.

"Fuck it, whoever it is will just have to deal with me the way that I am until I can see who it is and get dressed." She wrapped the towel tighter around her and walked downstairs to get to the door.

When she got to the door she gave herself a once-over just to make sure the towel was covering everything she wanted to and opened the door, she knew she shouldnt be suprised at who was on the other side but she was.

"Seth what are you doing here so early? It's only 8:00 in the morning and I thought since you had patrol last night you would still be home sleeping."

" Well, Mom told me last night that you were going apartment hunting today and I thought it would be fun if I went with you and we could catch up a little more and then go get lunch."

Bella knew something else was going but she decided not to worry about and just enjoy hanging out with Seth.

"Alright, sounds like fun. Come on in and make yourself comfortable, Im going to go finish getting ready and then we can go."

After putting her hair up in a fishtail braid and putting on a splash of make-up she demend herself ready to go.

The drive to the realter's office was quite and neither Bella or Seth said a word. Every couple minutes she would look over at Seth and he was looking out the window like he was watching something but everytime she would look over to where he was looking she didn't see a thing. She thought the whole point of him coming along was so they could catch up.

Once they got the realters Bella put her 2002 ford focus into park. The car was just a small purchase she had made the second day she came back. She would be driving around her big red chevy but it had finally called it quits a few years back and where she was living before she came back to Forks she didnt really need a vehicle anyways.

Seth finally looked over at Bella since she still hadn't turned off the car.

"Seth, what's going on? I thought the whole point of you coming along was so we could catch up and the whole way here you haven't said a word and kept staring out the window like you were watching somone or something, is there something you're not telling me?"

"Sort of Bella but right nows not the best time to talk about it, lets just go look at these apartments and over lunch we can talk."

Before Bella could even argue Seth had gotten out of the car and was on the way up to the door.

After about two hours of looking Bella found the perfect place, it was right in the middle of Forks and La Push. She had intended to get an apartment but as soon she saw this place, she knew it was the one. It was a cute two bedroom house and she fell in love with it the moment she laid eyes on it. The outside was painted a cream color with brown trim, it had a wrap around porch, a big fenced in yard, and around the back was a two car garage, a shed, and a little garden. Leading up to the house there was a stone walkway with solar lights leading all the way to the porch.

What amazed her the most was the inside of the house. The living room was big enough for 2 couches plus a chair and a large screen T.V., the dining room had enough room in it for a table that would seat 8, and the kitchen had all brand-new stainless steel appliances with a breakfast nook and island with a dishwasher underneath. There were two bathrooms one upstairs that connected to the Master bedroom and one downstairs next to the other bedroom. Bella signed all the papers and got the keys and she couldnt wait to start moving in.

Seth hadn't said a word except tell her she made a good choice on the location of the house and that he liked the kitchen, but other than that nothing.

Finally they made it to the diner and sat down to eat. The waitress came over and took there order and it made Bella laugh when Seth gave his order because the waitress' eyes almost buldged out of her head.

They were finally alone... somewhat and Bella couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Ok, Seth start talking I'm not saying a word until your finished. Whatever you have to say, say it and don't leave anything out."

"You know you're really bossy now, its like you don't take shit from anyone anymore, It's a good thing too see just different."

"Seth... you're trying to change the subject, just get whatever you have to say out. I'm sure it can't be that bad can it?"

Bella had never seen Seth look so scared. She waited for Seth to say something and just as she was about to tell him he didn't have to tell her, he started talking.

"Ok, what I'm about to tell you can not get back to anyone from the pack because we were Alpha ordered not to tell you and if anybody found out I told you it would not be good."

Bella just shook her head because as she told him she would not say anything until he was finished but already she didn't like the sounds of it.

"That day of the newborn fight, when Jake joined everyone we had never seen his thoughts so happy. After it was over he was just on his way to see if you were ok, I kept telling him you were fine but he had saw what you did to save Edward and I, he had even seen what was going after but he need to see you and as soon as he turned our way is when he saw the newborn trying to sneak up on Leah and couldn't not help her. The whole time he was telling me to phase and tell you to that he was ok and he would see you as soon as he could and that's when he got hurt because he wasn't paying attention."

Seth took a breathe just as the waitress was bringing them their food. As soon he was sure the waitress was well enough away he continued.

"That night when I dropped off Billy after he had dinner with Mom, Leah, and I, I knew you had been there because your scent was still strong so I knew you couldn't have been gone long. I went to check on Jake and when I walked into his room he literally almost tore my head off. I tried to ask him where you were and what had happened but he wouldn't say anything, just to get out. He still to this day wont say a word about what happened between the two of you."

Bella couldn't believe that he had never told anyone, surely the pack at least would have seen it in his mind when he phased, or he would have told Billy what had happened between the two of them, right? After that day didn't anyone notice she was even gone or that her and Edward hadn't gotten married and were no longer together? She wanted to ask Seth but before she could he continued...

" After that day, Jake wouldn't let anyone around him except for Billy. No one had known you had even left until Leah went to your house to try to get you to explain what had happened but, when she had gotten there Charlie told her you had pack up your stuff and left. He wouldn't tell her where you were going or when you would be coming back. Of course, we had all thought you went off with the Cullens because that very same day Sam got a call from Dr. Cullen saying they were leaving and Sam even asked if you were with them. I think what shocked Sam the most was when Carlisle told him that you and Edward had called off the wedding and were no longer together. We all tried to tell Jake but he wouldn't listen. Jake has changed so much, he's not the same person Bella, he barely even smiles anymore. Hes done alot of good things and alot of not so good things but, he's a helluva good Alpha keeps us all in line and keeps us all safe. When he found out you were coming back it was like it didn't even matter to him. He's knowns you're human and he knowns you're not here with Edward. The reason i'm telling you this is because I've always known that if you did come back the first person you would want to see besides Charlie is Jake and I'm just warning you to be careful when you do."

Bella sat there and took everything Seth said to heart. What was nagging at her the most was the bad things that Jake had done. What could he have possibly done that was so bad. The Jake she knew wouldn't do anything to disrespect his family or tribe but, the way Seth put it she knew it was bad.

"What exactly happened when I was gone Seth?"

"That I honestly can't tell you Bella. That is one Alpha order I can't break. All I can say is when the time is right you will have to talk to Jake about it and I hope you can tell him what happened when you left."

She looked at Seth like she had seen a ghost and Seth knew that since Bella came back something had happened to her when she was away just by the look she was giving him now.

"Bella, whatever happened while you were gone has changed the person you have become. I don't know what happened but I hope one day you'll be able to tell and you'll be able to tell me why you even left in the first. I want to tell you though not alot of the pack are happy that you came back, but I'm happy you're back."

"Thanks Seth, I'm glad I came back too and one day I'll tell you."

Bella looked down at her phone and was surprised to see that it was already 5:00pm. She still needed to get back to Charlies and make dinner and start looking for furniture and things for her new house.

"You ready to go Seth, I still need to get back to make Charlie and your mom dinner before they get off?"

"Yea, I have to patrol again in a couple hours."

For the first time since Bella had been back she had a nightmare of what had happened to her while she was away. When she woke up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat she promised herself that today was the day she was going to talk to Jake. She was scared about what Seth had told her but she knew that no matter how bad it was she would get Jake to listen to her no matter how long it took.

AN: So I know this chapter is kinda all over the place and I'm sorry about that but I hope you all like it. Next chapter we get to see Jake.
