Hello my friends! This is a shorter chapter but there is a lot about to happen. And I will update twice to make up for it.

As always, SM owns al Twilight. I just like to play.

Chapter 6

"Look, I know you guys all care about me. My family has had a rough few years. I don't really want to put any more stress on them. Rose, you of all people should be able to understand that."

I looked at her. For the first time in a long time, I was playing the sister card. I needed her o swing my way and the rest of them would follow. She looked at me and I could see her starting to crack.

"I don't agree that we should do nothing. But, maybe we can try and leave you out of the most of it."

Emmett and Alice looked at her like she sprouted a second head. I knew what they wanted me to do. I love my friends, but I love Carlisle and Esme more.

"Well I didnt say we would do nothing. I think that we should voice concerns with my parents. Let it be known that there are parties and things get out of control while there. I just don't want my name being dragged into it."

Alice looked at me and nodded. "I get it Bells. No one really saw what Jacob was doing because the others were partying hard. But I will not sit here and do nothing. We go to Carlisle, we tell him what is going on there, and tell him that it needs to stop before someone gets hurt. Your name never comes up. But you have to stay away from Jacob. I mean it."

I stared at her. I loved Jake. Didn't I? He was sweet and funny and...tried to hurt me. Yeah, I could do this for her but also for myself.

I nodded in agreement. I was starting to really understand what could have happened last night. Jacob Black could have raped me had I not gotten sick. Oh my gosh!

"Excuse me," I said as I ran out of the room. I didn't want to go back upstairs. I needed air. I ran out the back door and just kept going. I ran until I couldn't breath. I stopped and looked around. How could he have done that to me? I loved him. I was always nice to him. I went out of my way to try and be his friend.

That kind of behavior doesn't come from people that love you. This is not what you did to even friends. He was never my friend. I was convient. I was the side kick for when nothing better was around. I bent over trying to breath again. How could he?

I heard a branch snap and assumed it was Alice coming after me. I didn't want to talk about this anymore. I love her but I just needed to keep breathing so I didn't spiral out of control.

"Bella." It wasn't Alice. I turned around to see Edward standing there with one hand in his pocket and the other running through his hair. It was so out of control already, but running his hand through it seemed to make it in more disaray.

We stood there for a moment and no one spoke. I finally looked around and noticed how beautiful the area was. There was a lake behind the house with was a shed that looked like an old greenhouse a few yards ahead of me. It looked rough from the outside but the beauty on the inside was starting to peak out of the windows.

Edward walked closer to me and I felt a spark from his arm. I instantly looked up to see if he felt it too, and what I saw took me off guard. He was breathing heavy and staring into my eyes with passion. I had never seen that in anyone before.

He went to speak when I heard my name being called from the house. I sighed and went to turn when I felt his hand on my arm. The electric current that I felt was emphasized with skin to skin contact. We stood there for a moment just feeling the current go between us.

"I better go back otherwise that pixie will come looking for me." I started to walk away when I heard a mumble. I turned to look back and he was pulling his hair with both hands.

"What did you say?"

It felt like forever before he spoke again. And this time I was the one without any breathe.

"I said, he doesn't deserve you. But then again finding someone worthy of you will be hard to find."

I walked back inside with a little more level head. I apologized to my friends for running out like that. They all said they understood and it was ok. Alice, Rose, and I got our things together and decided it was time to face the music.

I went into the kitchen to say bye to Emmett when I heard some more voices.

"What the crap man?"

"What? All I did was go check on her. It has been a long two days and she needed to know that any decision she makes is ok."

Emmett snorted before responding, "Yeah that is so not what I meant. I saw the look you gave her. I have seen that look before. Dude, she is younger than me!"

Edward huffed at him and walked out of the kitchen right in my direction. I tried to scurry away but as I did, I bumped right into Alice.

"Why are you standing at the kitchen door? Did you go say bye to Emmett?"

As I was about to answer, I saw her look up. I didn't even have to look. Edward was behind me and he knew that I had been at the door listening.

Oh, Edward, how I love thee! Lol He seems to like her I would say.

Please let me know what you think. :-)
