Just as I had predicted I had a restless night. My nightmares returned to haunt me as I tossed and turned in my bed. Knowing that my screaming would be keeping Charlie awake my own self guilt deepened. As I began to drift off again, I heard a tapping on the window. Without opening my eyes my heart began to beat uncontrollably. Could it be? Could he have returned? I decided it wasn't worth the worry so I quickly put those thoughts out of my head. To my disappointment the familiar face in my window was not the one I had hoped for. I didn't want Jacob to feel my pain so I smiled as best as I could and let him in. Despite his size he gracefully jumped through the window and landed silently on my bedroom floor. He was so elegant, he made it look effortless.

"Why didn't you have the window open Bella? I didn't want to wake you." Despite his concern he looked reasonably happy to see me. I threw my arms around him – I was shivering.

"I was freezing in here without you. I forgot how cold Forks was." With that he threw me and him onto the bed and curled up beside me. Once again I felt relaxed as I slowly drifted back to sleep. When I woke up he had gone. He wasn't stupid, he couldn't risk Charlie finding him. I dragged myself out of bed, dreading the day. I wasn't expecting Jacob to pick me up today, until I became flooded with joy. There taped to the back of my door was a note.

It read, "Dear Bella. Sorry for disturbing you last night. I couldn't bare to be away from you any longer, and I could hear you screaming from the forest. I had t leave this morning so Billy wouldn't get suspicious – Charlie phoned and of course I heard every word. He sounded so disappointed, more that than anything else. I fear that I have lost his respect. Although don't worry, whilst they spoke on the phone I 'persuaded' Charlie to let me come and pick you up this morning. Don't worry, he will forgive you. Expect me at 8:00. I love you Bells, I can't wait to see your loving smile again. You don't know just how special that makes me feel." Jacob had signed it with a kiss after his name. I hugged it tight on my chest and began to cheer up. I only had half an hour to get ready and make the breakfast.

I cut my shower short and ran down the stairs, only to find that Charlie had left early. I found another note on the table, although this didn't have the same affect as the other, "Bella. Something came up at work. Please forgive me for yesterday, I feel terrible. I know you would never do that, it is against your nature. Although I am still disappointed in you, I forgive you. I'll see you tonight? Call me when you finish school. Jacob will be here to pick you up, and yes, he can also take you home. Unless you would like to go back to his. I don't mind. Just please don't scare me like that again Bella, as much as I am happy for you and Jake, I don't want you to rush things. You're still just my little girl."

Once again I felt calm. Jacob was right, my father had forgiven me. Even though I still felt ashamed, some of the guilt had lifted. I made myself some breakfast rather hastily and got myself dressed and ready. I was waiting by the door when Jacob arrived, all to eager to see him again. I kissed his cheek as I climbed into his car.

"Jake, I'm so glad to see you. Thank you for my note, and for 'persuading' Charlie. You don't know how happy I am right now." He smiled at me but then turned his attention back to the road. I could sense his apprehension as he was still worked up about what had almost happened yesterday. We remained silent the whole way to school and to our next class. I held his hand and pulled him closer to me, he seemed to cheer up after that.

The rest of the day dragged on again. All of the heads turned in our direction again, but this time I didn't seem to mind. The whispers though, did. "Jake, can you please make everyone stop talking about us like that? It is really getting on my nerves."

"Of course," he said, in a matter-of-factly way. The whispers died down and he chuckled. I could get used to this, I thought to myself.

Sorry that this is so short, I had writer's block. I know what will happen in the future but I am struggling to fill the gaps. I'm sure you are all aware of this too. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas. Thanks for the reviews Jadie, I really appreciate it. (: Love from Ele Xx
