Authors note: so this chapter isn't as long as the last few but I like the ending so it works.

jcampbell943_ When Carlisle says they've come back for Bella it's not that they've met before exactly, it's about the dare, the kiss and Edwards obsession with her afterwards. Ya know?

On to the story!

Dare me 7

I've been in such a better mood since Edward left yesterday, of course I'm a bit disappointed that he had more business to take care of and this time it was in Seattle but I still feel pretty good. My dad flipped his lid when he saw two hickies on my neck but with all the flipping out he didn't say much. My dad was going down to the reservation today to visit a long time friend, I can't remember his name right now but dad called and asked if I could maybe make something to eat since the game they wanted to watch wasn't coming out on his friends TV.

"Hey Jasper." I say without even turning around.

"How'd you know it was me?" He asks leaning against the counter.

I shrug. "No one is going to get past you, Jazz." I tell him.

"True, what are you doing?" He asks.

"Making dinner, Charlie and one of his friends are coming back here to watch some game so I'm making food." I explain.

"Cool, so I seen something on Edward before he left, I have a few questions for you." Jazz says, motioning with his finger for me to come here.

I can't help the small smile on my lips as I step closer to Jazz. Since my hair is already tied back he just puts a hand on my chin and turns my face from side to side. "You marking up each other, you two having sex?" He asks.

I smack his hand away, "How is that any of your business?"

"As your best friend, it's my business." Jazz says, "You on the pill, condoms?"

I roll my eyes, "We're not actually having sex Jazz, so chill."

"Just looking out for you kid, I don't like the idea of kids having kids." He says.

"Me either, don't worry though, I'm good, we're good, okay?" I ask. "I think I hear my dad's cruiser."

Jazz listens for a minute, "Good ear, kid, you got your piece?"

"In my room." I tell him.

He shakes his head, "I know your home but you should still keep it on you."

"Alright, I'll go up and get it, got a lighter, I think Edward jacked mine." I ask.

He tosses me a black bic and heads for the kitchen door. "See you kid."

"Bye Jazz." I say. Just as the back door closes the front door opens. "Bells?!" My dad calls out.

"Just a sec." I call out as I rush up to my bedroom. I stick the lighter in my pocket and grab my gun from my closet, slipping it into my waist band and heading back down stairs into the kitchen.

"Hey dad." I find him looking at the food in the oven.

"Hey, Bells, come meet Billy and his son." He says motioning for me to follow but I freeze on the spot.

Billy... His son? No fucking way! My dad can't be best friends with him! Please tell me it's not him!

"Bells, you okay?" Charlie asks just as a man in a wheel chair and cowboy hat comes rolling in, I tell you not what I expected. And then he walks in, Jake.

"This is Billy and Jacob Black. Guys, this is my daughter, Bella." Charlie says so oblivious to the shock running through me or the smug look on Jacobs face, the concern on Billy's face.

"Hi." I tell Billy but I keep my eyes off of Jacob, I can not believe this is happening! "Um, I'm going to take care of the food." I'm so glad I listened to Jazz and grabbed my gun, I feel better about having it with me.

"Guys go a head and get the game going on the living room." Charlie tells Billy. Once they turn and leave Charlie comes closer. "Bells, you okay?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I tell him.

He's hesitant but nods, "You'll be okay if I run down to the snappy for beer? Billy and Jake are going to stay here."

My heart pounds, my anxiety spikes but I manage a nod, "I'll be okay."

"Great, I'll be right back." He says turning and leaving.

I look out the back window, wishing Jasper could see me and tell there's something wrong. As soon as the front door shuts I turn off the food and head out the back door. My eyes scan around but I see nothing and then the back door opens.

"Bella, what a coincidence that our father's have been best friends for years, we're practically family." Jake says stepping outside.

"What do you want, Jake?" I ask, I refuse to show him fear.

He doesn't answer instead he says, "Did you know our father's wanted us to meet when you first got to town, they thought maybe we'd like each other a lot." I think I do remember hearing Jacob's named said now.

"You're not my type." I say innocently.

"Edward is, I should be too. I can see things are getting serious between you two." He touches his own neck, "Does Charlie know about him?"

"Not that any of this is your business but yes, he does." I tell him, crossing my arms.

"Does he know about yesterday?" He asks. When I don't answer he laughs, "Good, I figured not other wise I wouldn't be here."

"Jake?" I hear Billy calling, "Leave the girl alone and get your ass back in here!"

I serve everyone food, oh how I wish I could poison Jakes and the guys do most of the talking. Once they're done, they head for the game on TV and I start cleaning up. When I'm done Jake walks into the room.

"What do you want, Jacob?" I ask putting the last glass down.

"I want to know more about you, Isabella." He says, "I want to know about the girl who killed Demetri, the girl who walked into a room with myself and my men and was able to steal right from under me. The girl who managed her way in to the Masen family without the Masen family seeking her out first. I want to know everything about you."

"Well isn't that just too bad, you're not going to know any of it." I push past him and into the living room. The game is just finishing up.

"I'm going to go warm up the car. I'll be back in for you in a minute, Billy." My dad says.

"Does your dad know what you're doing or what you've done?" Billy asks as soon as Charlies gone.

"Does he know about you?" I ask before walking away.

"Jake!" I hear Billy call out.

"You don't have to be an ungrateful bitch about it, Billy is only worried about you because he's best friends with your dad." Jake storms after me. When I turn around he's right in my face.

"Get out of my face, Jake." I tell him.

"You think you're so bad ass just because you're with the Masen family and you killed a guy but you don't know shit about this life." He goes on.

I'm not going to correct him.

I put my hand on his chest and push him back. He barely moves back and he's still coming. "Get out of my face, Jake!" I yell at him and push back again making us both take a few steps back. I'm up against the counter and he's not stopping. I reach behind me and pull the gun from my waist band. "Fucking stop!" I yell finally getting him to stop.

His eyes move between mine and the gun. "Just leave me alone." I tell him.

"I'm going to fucking kill you, Bella. Maybe not today but soon, your days are numbered." He says, just as Billy rolls in.

"Bella, put the gun down." He says motioning with his hands.

My eyes don't leave Jakes. "It's me or him, Billy." I say.

"Please, Bella. Don't kill my boy, he can be a fuck up sometimes but please, don't do it." Billy begs.

"Some day you won't be around to stop him or me. Someday one of us will be dead, why shouldn't I make sure it's not me?" I ask.

"That's fine, kill me if that's what you want. You're dead anyway, the Volturi family will make sure of that." Jake says with a snarl.

I hear the front door open and Charlie call out. I place the gun behind me, my hand still on it just in case and Charlie walks in.

"Thank you, Bella... For the food." Billy says with a nod. "Jake, go."

Jake storms past and Charlie is so oblivious to what just happened he just starts talking about the game.

"I'm so fucking sorry Bella." Jasper says as we sit on the roof. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing through the kitchen window, but I had your back."

"It's fine, just don't tell Edward that you didn't know right away. He'll be pissed abs you don't deserve that." I tell him leaning my head on his shoulder.

He passes me the blunt, "You're to good to me, kid."

I sigh, "Jake says I'm dead anyways, the Volturi will make sure of that."

"We won't go down without a fight, you're family no matter what, we've got you." He says wrapping an arm around me.

"Thanks Jazz." I tell him. "Will you take me somewhere? I don't want to be here tonight."

"Won't you get in trouble?" He asks.

I shrug, "Doubt it, Charlie doesn't pay attention to anything after a game."

"Where do you want to go?" He asks.

Edwards room is perfect, barely even lived in but it smells like him so it's perfect. I curl up on his bed and crash out almost immediately. When I wake up, I freak out just a little until I remember where I am.

"I didn't mean to wake you." Edward says sitting down on the bed beside me. "Are you alright? Jazz told me what happened."

I nod, "I'm just glad you're back. I missed you." I say curling up next to him.

"Billy called and apologized for his sons behavior, he says it won't happen again but I don't trust them." Edward says.

"Me either." I tell him. "I just wanted to pull the trigger so badly."

"I'm glad you didn't, I don't think Charlie would have handled it well." He says.

"How does he not know?" I ask.

Edward shrugs, "Some people can be very obvious to what's going on around them, others turn a blind eye."

"Either way, both make me nervous." I tell him.

"Come on, let's get some sleep, I've been awake for almost 48 hours, I'm beat." He says pulling me back with him.

As I lay in the darkness, surrounded by Edward, I can't help but notice how much my life has changed since that one dare and how much my line of thinking has changed.

Life is too short to not live it to the fullest, the exact way you want it.

To be reckless.

To say yes more often.

To have fun.

I don't want to be the girl who worries about the rules of society. I want to live life on the edge, I want to live it all with Edward. I want to be apart of everything, his struggle, his survival, his success. I want us to be a team, I want to have his back 100% and we can balance each other out. Life is short, so I'll break rules, I'll love recklessly and fully with all my heart, I'll live life to the fullest and I'll have no regrets.

I'll have Edward.

AN: so... I'm thinking of trying out Edwards POV, we will see how that goes. It might be the next chapter, it might not, we'll see. All mistakes are my own since it's just me writing here! Hopefully the next chapter will be longer!
