(Yep, it's time for another update! I'm really enjoying writing this and getting the responses I do! It's really awesome so thank you! Were back to Edward and Bella's POV. I'm going to start with Edward's and just jump right into the action! If you remember when we left off Edward was rushing to ketch Bella before she fell and Jacob was ready to rip Edwards head off! OH! DRAMA! This ought to be good! Thank you my readers/reviewers! My reviewers; Crazimonki94, Fastbackgirl, angelplusbuffyequals4ever, xPandoraLee, and ProfoundVanity! Thank you so much!)

(Edwards Point of View)
I was running straight for Jacob, or at least it looked that way. I was running to my love. To ketch her before she got hurt, Jacob was just in the way. He thought that I was coming after him though; I could hear it in his thoughts as well as see it in his stance. He looked ready to pounce; I needed to get him to move. Of course I was moving at Vampire speed so I didn't really have time to think. I realized I could do nothing but tell him to move, and hope he did.
"Move Jacob!" I growled at him about one foot from his face. He just looked at me, completely shocked. I decided he needed more so I said "Bella," and he turned around instantly. I used this to push past him and just as she was about to hit the ground I scooped her up into my arms. Her eye lids started to flutter open and I wondered what caused her to wake up. She saw me and instantly smiled. She shivered and I realized what woke her up. I chuckled darkly at the realization. My cold body, my repulsive cold touch woke her up. Hmm, at least it was good for something. "Are you ok love?" I asked her hopping with all my heart that she was. She seemed alright, no, she seemed perfect.
"Just a little cold," as soon as I heard this I started to pull away but her weak human hands tried to hold me where I was, so I staid. "Don't go, please," she uttered that while taking her fingers and tracing my lips.
"Never again," I said, and I meant it. She chuckled even though we were both being very serious.
"So this is going to be a good dream? Good, I like it when you're in my good dreams." HA! So she did think this was a dream.
"Bella, you're not dreaming!" She just shook her head at me.
"Of course you think that! Your part of the dream!"
"Bella, I'm serious!" I didn't know what I could do to convince her.
"Bella, this isn't a dream! We'll anywhere that bloodsucker is then It's a nightmare. But it's real, he really came back to ruin your life!" Jacob said and I felt like ripping him apart. But I couldn't – because of the beautiful angel who was looking up at me with complete love.
"Bella, trust me."
"Why are you back?" She asked me and I was taken aback by the bluntness of the question. I had to answer her honestly.
"Because I love you and couldn't be without you anymore." She just blinked at me.
"See this is how I know this is a dream! You don't love me! You told me so, and how can I blame you! I mean I always knew it was imposable for you to love me!" I did tell her I didn't love her, but it was a lie. I needed to protect her and at the moment I thought her life would be easier, safer, and all together better without me. All that ever mattered in the world was if she was safe. I still couldn't believe she ever believed that lie. I could never not love her! I needed to talk to her, to tell her why I left.
"Bella, I lied." I was going to wait for her response but Jacob Black obviously wasn't going to allow that.
"Bella I think we should go," he said calmly.
"Why?" Bella said with a hint of hysterics in her voice.
"Because, well uh, he's here!" I was surprised and by the looks of it, so was Bella. I knew why he wanted to leave; I just thought he would think of an excuse. "I mean come on Bella! HE LEFT YOU! You should be angry!"
"But I'm not," when she said this I found myself swimming with joy.
"Clearly! But I am! And my brothers are! He's a blood sucker! And, well, um, could you please get away from him! You being that close is making it hard to concentrate!" I laughed at him and got glares from him and "his brothers." "Please Bella?" She wiggled away from me then, but just out of my hands. We were still close, just not touching. "Come here."
"Why?" She looked hesitant.
"Just do it, please." She got up and started walking over to him.
"Ok, but I swear to God Jacob if you run away with me I will cheerfully beat you to death!" My sweet kitten thinking it's a lion.
"Fine Bells." He said this but I heard in his thoughts how he wasn't sure whether he would stick to his words or not. She arrived over to him and he bent over slightly, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked her in the eyes. "Bell, you have to remember! You just started to get back to your old self, and not even fully! Remember the night he left, the pain that brought you! Remember all the months that followed! Remember not even being able to here his name! COME ON BELLA! DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER?" As he said all that I got the mental images. Bella crying on the forest floor, Bella being in a zombie like state, and Bella actually being in pain from hearing my name. I stumbled back words into a tree for support. I felt all eyes on me.
"Edward are you ok?" A frightened Bella asked.
"Yes love, just his memories," she smiled for some odd reason while Jacob grinned at the realization of what he did to me. More thoughts of an overly depressed Bella flooded into my mind. Not only that but the memories of her being happy – with him. I accidently ripped up the tree that I was supporting myself on, and then I took my hands up to my head and held it.
"JACOB! Stop it! What are you doing? Edward are you ok?" Jacob chuckled darkly while Bella started to run over to me, when Jacob stopped her. "Jacob let go!"
"No Bella! And I'm just remembering things, he's fine."
"Oh yea because he sure looks fine! And STOP IT!" Then Jacob stopped flooding my mind with memories and I straightened myself.
"I'm fine Bella, but I do need to talk to you. To explain why I left."
"I know why you left; I need to know why you came back though!"
"I've already told you, and no you don't know why. You're still thinking it was that absurd lie that I didn't love you! But don't you see, it was just that – a lie!" Jacob shifted uncomfortably as he eyed us.
"Well sorry to interrupt but we have to leave." He then threw Bella over his shoulder and ran to where his car was parked. I started to chase after them but was stopped by a hand.
"I think you should just let them go." It was one of the wolves – in human form. He had short on but nothing else – I must have missed him running off into the woods to transform back into a wolf.
"Of course you do, but it's not going to happen." I then pushed his hand off my shoulder and ran. I knew I was being chased by the other wolves but I didn't care. Bella was walking away from his car and they were having an argument.
"Yes I do Jacob! I need to see why he left!"
"Who cares why he left? The important thing is that he did leave! He left you broken and lost in the woods! He left you here with only me to pick up the pieces! You were dead!"
"I care why he left or more importantly why he's back! And no one asked you to pick up the pieces Jacob! That was your own free will!" She was getting bright red. "I need to talk to him Jacob!" She started breathing heavily and I started to get worried.
"Love, we'll talk later. Let Jacob take you home. And calm down please, you're worrying me." I said to her and her eyes got wide in surprise. She didn't realize I was so close. She mumbled an "if you say so," and got in the car. Jacob was angry with my answer though. I heard him cussing my out in his head.
"Like hell you'll talk to her later you dirty bloodsucker! You won't get anywhere near her again! I'll make it my personal mission!" Jacob thought. Hmm, maybe he should tell her that, so he's not tricking her. He drove her off then, and I ran to my house. I didn't know what to do in the time before I went to her house, then I remembered something. My phone ringing. I looked on the Caller ID and sure enough it said Alice Cullen. I called her back.
"Hello?"
"Hey Alice it's me…Edward."
"Edward thank god!"
"What happened Alice?"
"Well when I called you earlier, you know when you ignored me?"
"Yea I know, why did you call?"
"You disappeared from my sight! What did you do?"
"Well I went running, and ran into Bella…" She cut me off with her squeals. Once she stopped I continued. "With Jacob." She was dead silent. "Alice?"
"Jacob? You mean the werewolf?"
"How did you know?"
"Carlisle."
"Ah, and yes the werewolf. Could that be why I disappeared?"
"Possibly I've never been werewolf tested before," she chuckled at her joke. I explained to her about everything that happened tonight.
"What do you see if I go over to her house tonight?"
"Nothing."
"What?"
"I see nothing, so if you go and the werewolf's are there, maybe that means I can't see them or anything they effect. Experiment! You have to go!"
"I was already planning on it, but not for your little experiment – for Bella. Remember her?" I was getting aggravated at her, and she could tell.
"Yes Edward, don't be difficult. I'm just curious about my visions."
"So did you guys ever figure out whether you all are coming back?"
"Well I'm on my way back now! I'll be there by tomorrow night! But the rest of the family are undecided. I'm sorry, but Rose has no faith in you. She doesn't want to come back if you will make us move again." Of course Rose would be the difficult one
"I'm not going to make us move again, I don't think I could."
"I know that Edward, Rose is just being Rose."
"Well I have to go Alice, I'm happy you're on your way home."
"Me too, I love you!"
"You too," then I hung up. Now I get to go to my angel. I looked at the time. It was only 2:34 I couldn't go over to her yet. I went over to the piano and played her lullaby over and over again. I wondered how I was going to occupy myself for hours, I needed to talk to her now!

(Bella's Point of View)
(A.N. This is going to be extremely long! I didn't realize that until I got done with Edwards's point of View and it was as long as a regular chapter! Oops! Maybe I should make this its own chapter…BUT I WON'T! Thank you!)
I was completely consumed by the darkness until I felt the cold. Something freezing was touching me. I knew what it reminded me of, his touch. How I loved the feel of it – even now. I found myself hoping it was him, even though I thought that was hopeless. My eyes started to open and I saw him. I smiled at the perfection of my dream. I shivered at the touch – not the cold. I felt the electricity as perfectly as when this dream was reality. I heard him chuckle and I wondered why.
"Just a little cold," I said and instantly regretted it. He started to pull away but I tried to stop him. He let he stop him and I was happy that he did that. "Don't go, please," I said while running my fingers along his perfect lips.
"Never again," he said and I couldn't stop myself from laughing. This was going to be a perfect dream, unlike the one I had yesterday.
"So this is going to be a good dream? Good, I like it when your in my good dreams."
"Bella, your not dreaming!" I shook my head at him. It was actually kind of funny. The dream trying to convince me it wasn't a dream. HA!
"Of course you think that! Your part of the dream!"
"Bella, I'm serious!" So he was going to try hard and convince me was he? Just like real life.
"Bella, this isn't a dream! We'll anywhere that bloodsucker is then It's a nightmare. But it's real, he really came back to ruin your life!" Jacob said and I felt like ripping him apart. Why was he in my perfect dream! Maybe I wasn't dreaming? If I was it was turning into a night mare.
"Bella, trust me," as soon as he said that I knew I was doomed. I was going to play into this dream and woke up completely hurt and destroyed. Unless it's not a dream! No! I couldn't think that. It would hurt me even more when it turned out to be one.
"Why are you back?" I didn't know why I just came out and said it, but I was happy I did.
"Because I love you and couldn't be without you anymore." I blinked. All my hopes of this not being a dream were destroyed.
"See this is how I know this is a dream! You don't love me! You told me so, and how can I blame you! I mean I always knew it was imposable for you to love me!" It all kind of came out and once again I was shocked.
"Bella, I lied." I stopped breathing for a moment. I was about to respond to him but of course Jacob wouldn't allow that.
"Bella I think we should go," he said calmly.
"Why?" I said nervously. I didn't ever want to leave!"Because, well uh, he's here!" I was surprised he just came right out and said it. "I mean come on Bella! HE LEFT YOU! You should be angry!"
"But I'm not," I said. I knew I should be angry, I just couldn't be.
"Clearly! But I am! And my brothers are! He's a blood sucker! And, well, um, could you please get away from him! You being that close is making it hard to concentrate!" Edward laughed and I had to suppress a laugh. I couldn't believe what he was trying to make me do. I noticed Jacob glaring at Edward then, once again I wanted to kill Jacob Black. Why is he in my dream! "Please Bella?" I got out of his arms and just sat close to him. I wanted back into his arms. I was already regretting what I just did. "Come here." Uh no!
"Why?"
"Just do it, please." I surprised myself by getting up and walking over to him.
"Ok, but I swear to God Jacob if you run away with me I will cheerfully beat you to death!" I was regretting doing this but I couldn't stop myself. It just felt like something I needed to do.
"Fine Bells." He said this and I soon got to him. He bent over, put his hands on my shoulders, and looked me in the eyes. Oh god this won't be good! "Bell, you have to remember! You just started to get back to your old self, and not even fully! Remember the night he left, the pain that brought you! Remember all the months that followed! Remember not even being able to here his name! COME ON BELLA! DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER?" As he said all that I started to remember. All the sadness flooded over me but I was quickly cured of that by worry. Edward started stumbling backwards. He leaned towards a tree for support he shouldn't even need. Everyone started looking at him.
"Edward are you ok?" I asked, afraid of the answer.
"Yes love, just his memories," I smiled because he called me love but then what he just said to me registered. Jacob was remembering certain memories just to make him feel guilty! I looked at Jacob and sure enough he was grinning. Edward ripped up the tree completely stunning me and I realized Jacob was still thinking about his memories or me. Edward brought his hands to his head and held it.
"JACOB! Stop it! What are you doing? Edward are you ok?" Jacob chuckled and I started to run over to Edward but Jacob stopped me. "Jacob let go!"
"No Bella! And I'm just remembering things, he's fine."
"Oh yea because he sure looks fine! And STOP IT!" Then Edward straightened his self and I felt relief wash over me.
"I'm fine Bella, but I do need to talk to you. To explain why I left." My heart started beating faster.
"I know why you left; I need to know why you came back though!"
"I've already told you, and no you don't know why. You're still thinking it was that absurd lie that I didn't love you! But don't you see, it was just that – a lie!" Jacob shifted uncomfortably and my heart started beating even faster. What a good dream! He's saying that it was a lie.
"Well sorry to interrupt but we have to leave." Jacob said then threw me over his shoulder and ran to where his car was parked. I was instantly pissed. I started kicking him and punching him. He then sat me down right next to his car.
"What the hell Jacob?" I was glaring at him while he was opening the door for me. I refused to get in.
"Just get in the car Bells." He said while not looking at me.
"No! Go to hell Jacob!"
"Please Bells?"
"Why Jacob? You promised you wouldn't do that!" I was going crazy! I just needed to talk to Edward.
"It was for your own good."
"Like hell it was! I just need to talk to him!"
"No you don't."
"Yes I do Jacob! I need to see why he left!" Jacob was really pissing me off by then. I was imagining ways to kill him
"Who cares why he left? The important thing is that he did leave! He left you broken and lost in the woods! He left you here with only me to pick up the pieces! You were dead!" He was right about the me being dead part. With out Edward I am dead. I am nothing.
"I care why he left or more importantly why he's back! And no one asked you to pick up the pieces Jacob! That was your own free will!" I felt my face burning and I knew I was probably bright red. "I need to talk to him Jacob!" I started having a nervous break down and breathing heavily.
"Love, we'll talk later. Let Jacob take you home. And calm down please, you're worrying me." I wasn't expecting Edward to be anywhere near us and total shock took over me.
I mumbled "If you say so," and got into Jacobs car. He then got in and we started to drive away. We drove in silence for about five minutes. I preferred it in silence, then to talking to Jacob right now.
"Bella, I did it for you own good." He said while starring at the road.
"Who are you to say what's good for me?"
"He left you, and I bet Charlie would agree with me." My heart beat started getting faster. He wouldn't tell Charlie would he? I instantly knew the answer. Of course he would.
"Jacob don't."
"Don't what Bella? You think it's such good news, wouldn't Charlie want to know the good news?" He answered smugly.
"Just wait till I get a chance to talk to Edward!"
"Your not talking to Edward." He said sternly.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm going to be watching you to make sure you don't."
"That's a little creepy, I'm not gonna lie."
"Not in a peeping tom kind of way or in a "I've been watching you," kind of way. I'm just going to keep an eye out for you!"
"I need to talk to him!"
"Do you even care that he hurt you!?"
"NO! Ok I don't! I just need to talk to him!" We pulled up next to my house and I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks.
"I need Charlie's help on this." I heard Jake mutter, thinking I couldn't hear him. I ran out of his car and to my house. I heard Jakes door open and close. So he's going to rat me out! How lovely! I ran into my house, slammed the door, and locked it. I knew Charlie would just unlock it, but I didn't care. This brought Charlie in to stare at me. His crying hysteric daughter
"Bella what happened to you? Are you ok?" He sounded genially worried, but I didn't care.
"I'm sure Jake will tell you all about it!" I started running up stairs and right on cue there was knocking sounds on the door. I couldn't escape them before I heard them start talking though.
"Jake what happened?"
"Edwards back! And she's bound and determined to talk to him, but I wouldn't let her. I need your help." I slammed my door right then. I went to my bed, laid down, and cried. I don't know how long I sat on my bed crying until some one knocked on my door. All I know is that it had been hours, and Jake was long gone. My door was locked so Charlie (that's who it had to be,) couldn't get in.
"Bella I need to talk to you! I've let you mope around long enough! OPEN UP!" I ignored him. One minute later. "BELLA SWAN!" Again I ignored him. This went on for twenty minutes until he left. I finally looked over at the clock 6:46. Wow, I've have been crying for a while. I was also hungry. I waited until 7:00 until I went down for food. When I went down stairs Charlie eyed me as if saying "I thought you weren't coming down? What changed your mind?" I decided to answer his silent questions.
"Food."
"Oh, um ok. Bella I don't want you talking to Edward."
"Hmm, that's not going to stop me." I wasn't even thinking I just kind of blurted it out, and regretted it.
"Excuse me?"
"Um, dad. I really need to talk to him!"
"No you don't! He hurt you Bells! Don't you remember?"
"Of course! But he's being really weird! He's saying he lied!"
"That's not a good thing! What did he lie about?"
"I don't know! That's why I need to talk to him!"
"Your not aloud! Do you hear me?"
"I'm 18." I stated mater of factly
"So?"He really did sound confused.
"I'm an adult, so I can do what ever I want." I reached into the cabinet and pulled out cereal – yes cereal. That would be my dinner. I poured myself a bowl and started to eat noticing that Charlie was being quiet.
"Bella I don't want you talking to Edward Cullen."
"I don't care!"
"As long as you are living under my…" I cut him off.
"Seriously Cha-dad that is kind of cliché!"
"Bella you are not talking to Edward Cullen and I AM going to make sure of that!"
"I am going to talk to him," I mumbled then walked up stairs with my cereal. I hoped that Edward came tonight. He never said he would but he did say later so maybe it's later! We'll I'll just have to wait and see, won't I?
(Ok so were over now! We'll this chapter is! I hoped you guys liked it! I'll eventually get another chapter out! Oh I found a favorite fanfic! It's if every word I said could make you laugh! Or something along those lines! I'm pretty sure that's right though! If not: I'll correct myself next post! But it's amazing! So yea, review!)
