Authors Note: I am SO SORRY I took so long! I have had a tough few weeks in school with loads of homework and activities. But I'm back! I had started writing the chapter but I just finished it today. Wanted to say thank you to PINKY-ICE, because she reviewed today and asked me to update. And it motivated me… and here we go! Enjoy, Comment and Rate! Thanks!

I glanced in the direction Leah's eyes were gazing, oval and alert. At the entrance, hand in hand, were the people I least wanted to see in this precise moment. Especially at this point in time, now that Edward was in the restroom and out of sight. The girl was wearing a t-shit and jeans, and looked slightly out of place, but the man had a tight fitted tux on. His short hair was combed back and he looked like some Greek god.

Jacob and Rennesmee headed over to where Leah and I were, carefully cutting through the crowd. They were here in a matter of seconds, and I had no chance to escape.

"Hey!" Rennesmee said, hugging me briefly, but letting go quickly.

Ugh. She smells like a wolf. I cringed at the thought of what the two might have been doing. I pushed the thoughts away.

"Hi" I forced out.

The sight of the two made me grind my teeth hard, holding back the insults which were about to explode out. I hated the fact that he was with Nessie. I hated it. I had the urge to punch something, but I clenched my fists instead. Anyways, me and Jacob were over, I told myself again, nailing the words into my mind.

"What are you doing here Jacob?" Leah asked, "I thought you two weren't coming"

Jacob replied quickly, as if his answer had been planned since he arrived.

"Well we were bored and we decided to come here because we had nothing else to do at my house and anyways- my dad was doing the cleaning and we were in his way, he got mad at us when he was trying to clean the lounge"

Billy, cleaning the house? I was sure that this was an outright lie. However, Leah looked like if she bought it.

With a nod of my head, I shook them off, turning back to Leah. I had no intention of fighting with Jacob, and no intention of talking to him.

Leah, on the other hand, decided to talk to them. Unfortunately.

"So, how is everything going?" Leah asked, making conversation.

"Good" Nessie replied, "Jakey taught me how to carve wood today," she announced, proudly. She seemed happy, and all I wanted was the best for her. Stupid Jacob.

"Were did Vicky go?" I asked her, trying to ease the atmosphere a bit.

I tried to pretend that I was extremely interested in Leah's answer, and cocked my head to the side a bit.

"Right here, Bella" Vicky is behind me suddenly, grinning widely "I see your daughter and Jacob are here! Oh this is so exciting we can play truth or dare and-"

"Yeah!" Verena and Addie jumped in front of me, coming from the side, "Should we go to the more private areas upstairs?"

This was a bad idea, and I groaned at the thought.

"Okay" Leah said.

"No, but what about Edw-" I moan

"He will come upstairs once he sees we aren't here" Addie clarified, tugging on my dress.

"But-" I started again.

At this, Leah dragged me upstairs with Vicky and Verena leading, Jacob and Nessie close behind. This wasn't going to turn out well, I could just tell.

***

The room we entered was small, squared, and dimly lit with three or four candles and a fire. The floor was a soft red rug, very dusty but pretty cosy. The sofa at the far end was red, too. It reminded me of my childhood Christmases in Phoenix with Renee, and the same went for the blankets neatly stacked in a pile by the fire place on the left.

Vicky picked up a cushion and strode over to the middle of the room.

"Let's make a circle!" she clapped her hands together and motioned us forwards.

"Seriously, sometimes, you remind me of a two year old" Verena remarked, sitting beside her.

"Well at least I don't like guys when I am engaged!" she giggled.

"Well, excuse me, but Edward is hot. I think you know that, too"

" Yes but I don't admit it when his wife is in the room!" Vicky whispered, and curiously followed Verena's gaze in my direction.

They were waiting for my response, so I chose to laugh and say, "It doesn't matter".

"So, who is ready for the first dare?"

Addie seemed eager to know who she would be able to dare first, and when she asked this, her eyes lit up. Leah raised her hand and begged.

"Me!"

Leah's dare was to run downstairs without a dress, or in other words, in her undergarments. She did so, and came back holding her stomach and laughing. We all laughed with her and waited to see whom she would dare next.

As they dared each other, I stared at the floor. I didn't take part, as I had no intention of performing a dare. Instead, I thought about the times when Jake and I were best friends, and about how he smiled and made my world tingle with happiness. I thought about how he used to be my sun, my escape from school. Memories flowed through me again, like water running down a mountain. Why did I keep thinking about these things? Edward and wherever he was dwelling right now was at the far back of my mind. This wasn't right! I was married!

After a few minutes into the game, I looked around and saw the scene. Rennesmee, Leah, Addie, Verena and Vicky seemed to be enjoying themselves a fair amount. Jacob, on the other hand, was running his hand through his short hair and nervously glancing at his broken watch. He lifted his gaze when I let myself look at him. Our eyes met and immediately we looked away, embarrassed. I looked at the door of the room, longing Edward to come in and take me home with him. But he didn't.

"Jacob! I dare you. I dare you to-" Vicky paused for an effect, or perhaps to think of what the dare would be, "to kiss Bella!"

I stared at the girl in horror. I was married! As much fun as these girls were to hang out with, they were a bit immature for me sometimes. I opened my mouth in protest but Jacob was faster:

"And I dare you to be eaten alive. No way am I kissing that."

Addie and Verena giggled, whistling loudly.

"Fine" Addie stated, standing up and moving so that she was standing behind Jacob. She pointed at me.

"Bella, I dare you to kiss Jacob!"

Addie obviously thought she was very funny, because she had an odd look of glee on her face. This was not funny. And Edward would be back soon, anyways.

"But- no! I am married. And me kissing that thing? I am not letting my lips touch that!"

"Come on"

"It's a dare, you have to do it!"

Their pleas didn't convince me. I side glanced at Jacob and Nessie, who were no longer holding hands. Instead, Nessie had half an eyebrow raised and gleaming eyes. Jacob was looking at her tenderly, his eyes soft and buttery. What was going on?

"No." I replied again, but they kept on urging me.

I had to say something harsher for them to believe that I didn't want to kiss Jake. But what? I pondered upon a few things, but they weren't going to work. But, we don't like each other any more, so…

I made my eyes into the most menacing glare I could muster.

"Well, you wouldn't kiss someone that you hated, would you?" I replied coldly- not lifting my glare from their startled faces.

Addie gasped loudly and the rest widened their eyes and stared at Jacob.

"Well, well," Vicky said, waving her hands at me, "I may not be a genius but kindergarten teachers like me know how to deal with people being rude" she grabbed my hand and pulled.

I didn't resist, not because I couldn't, but because I could. If I resisted my strength would have be given away and they might have guessed what I was-

In the clear, persuasive yet strict voice of a teacher, Vicky said "Jacob, come here too".

"Could you both please enter this bathroom over here" she said, motioning to the other door in the room apart from the exit.

"You will both stay in here until you have resolved your problems with each other" Vicky explained, shoving our rigid bodies inside and locking the door.

Yes, this was going to be a long day.
