JPOV

Vanessa fell asleep in my arms right after I stopped her from jumping off that horid cliff. I had carried her back to the houses and placed her in my bed. She had been asleep ever since, and I just sat on the side of the bed and watched her. Her chest rose and fell slowly with each breath. She looked so peaceful, wrapped up in a little ball, her breathing calm and even.

Knock, knock.

I inhaled and auomatically knew who it was. "Come in Bella," I whispered, knowing she could hear me.

Bella was standing next to me in the next moment. "Jeff, there's something you need to see," she whispered.

I looked at Vanessa for a moment longer before kissing her on the head and following Bella outside. "What?" I demanded when we got outside.

"Emmett turned on the news because he was bored and..." she trailed off.

My eyes went on. "They have a missing person report already?"

"Her parents have been looking for her since yesterday Jeff... we may have to move again."

"No," I whispered. "No. I won't do that to you again... I can't put you guys through it."

Bella nodded her head sullenly. "Carlisle said that nothing is decided yet but for now... we have to his her okay?"

I nodded. "I'll go see what's on the news. Can you keep an eye on Vanessa incase she wakes up?"

"Of course," Bella whispered.

I walked towards the main house and everyone turned to stare as I entered the living room. "How is she?" Carlisle asked immediately.

"The same."

Everyone seemed to nod but keep her distance... except Emmett of course. "Dude! It's like watching Edward and Bella all over again! With the leaving and the nearly dying and the-

"Emmett!" everyone shouted.

For the first time in a long time I smiled and chuckled. "It's okay," I sighed. "Now let me see the News."

I pushed past everyone and stared at the TV. There was a woman on the screen and there was a picture of Vanessa in the corner of the screen with a question mark on it. The woman was in the middle of explaining the story by the time I walked in.

"-Missing since last night," the woman was saying. "When she didn't come home last night her parents sent out a search party. They didn't find her, but a boy, Randy Clarkson, who claims he is her ex-boyfriend told the police department that Vanessa jumped off a cliff behind the school into a large body of water. This was questioned at first, until they asked the parents about it. Her mother nearly fell to the groudnd crying. Aparently this is something that Vanessa would do. Why, you may ask. Do you all remember Jeff Ransnor who disssapeared a few a little over a month ago? Well he was Vanessa's best friend. Aparently when it was aparent that he probably died Vanessa took it hard. They had been best friends since they were children. Vanessa didn't want any part of living without him. Did she really jump off the cliff? Randy Clarkson did hit his head. He could have been imagning it. Well we wil keep you guys updated on this very interesting story. Back to you Bob."

I was so caught up in what the woman was saying that I nearly forgot about the fact that Vanessa was still asleep. "Jeff!" Bella's voice sounded out.

I turned around and saw Bella. "You are supposed to be watching her," I said.

"She's waking up!" Bella gasped.

I was up and in my house in the next second. Vanessa was murmuring inconherent things and I sighed and slowly knelt down next to her. Her eyes were fluttering slightly and I reached my hand to her head and ran it through her hair softly. "Nessa," I whispered.

Her soft murmuring continued. "Where... Jeff... don't leave me... please." I could only make out some of her words, even with my vampire hearing. There was a low growling behind me, and I turned around to see Emmett's ddog Feefee. I glared at him and lifted up one of my hands until he was under control and not blood thirsty anymore. I loved my power.

Vanessa reached out her hand towards mine and I caught it with mine. She squeezed my hand and her eyes started to flutter again until she opened them once.

Vanessa POV

I had a dream that was all too good to be true. Jeff was alive. He was okay. If only it wwere true. I tried to call out for him but felt my throat thick with tears.

"Jeff," I whispered. "Where are you? Don't leave me again please?"

I didn't know who I was talking to, but I was still in that dream like state. I reached my hand out in the air, knowing I wouldn't find Jeff. But when my hand caught something I froze. I willed my eyes to open. They fluttered for a moment, blinking aginst the light. I saw a blurry figure. Who could it have been? My parents knew not to come into my room anymore. Unless... this wasn't my room.

My eyes slowly adjusted to the light and I gasped.

"It wasn't a dream," she whispered, her eyes wide. She suddenly sat straight up and her face was inches from mine. "What are you?"

"I'm Jeff," I whispered, confused.

"No!" she chocked out. "What are you? You are clearly not human! So either I am dead or... you are? Jeff... what happened to you? What are you?"

I looked down at the bed. "I can't... if I tell you... you can never go back...

"I don't need to. I don't need anybody but you," she whispered, brushing her hand across my face.

"Your parents," I murmured.

"I don't need to bother them anymore. Without you I am not able to be happy anymore. They are better off without me."

"That's not true and you know it-

"It's true," Vanessa whispered. "I just... I need to know what you are. need to know who you are. Who are you?"

I pulled back from her and turned away. "I'm not what you remember me as. I'm... I'm a... I mean I'm still Jeff. That's who I am. But I'm not jeff Ransnor anymore. I'm Jeff Cullen now. Well sort of... but I... I would be dead now if it weren't from the Cullens so don't dislike them... I mean I sorta already am dead but I-

"Jeff!" Vanessa cut me off. "Relax. Just tell me."

"You don't want to go back?" I whispered. "You're sure?"

Vanessa nodded her head slowly, almost unsure, but I couldn't deny her anything. I turned around in a flash and pulled Vanessa into my arms at Vampire speed. She screamed quietly in surprise and just stared into my eyes. "You're not human."

"We've established that," I chuckled.

"What are you?" Vanessa whispered. "Please tell me."

I couldn't resist it. "Vampire," I blurted out before I could stop it. And then more calmly I murmured, "Vanessa I'm a vampire."

Vanessa went pale and her eyes widened. "Tell me everything," she begged. "From the begining."

I nodded. "Why don't you come back to the main house and we can you something to eat. We can all tell you the story. You can meet everyone. You may be staying here for a long time."

Vanessa giggle despite everything. "As long as I get to be with you."

And with that she leaned in and tried to kiss me. I pulled back before she could. "I don't know how well that will go if I kiss you for the first time without any other vampires... you know... just in case."
