"…Jacob?"
"Bells! Where the hell are you? And why can you tell Edward and not me? You better come back right now! Everyone has gone sick with worry! You can't just go missing, and then call back and pretend everything's fine!"
I sighed, and then I told him what I had told Edward.
"10 years? Are you crazy? Just tell us where you are! We'll come get you, it'll be fine. Have faith in the police, or at least have faith in me!"
"But Jake, I don't know where I am, so I can't tell you!" I argued. Why couldn't he just trust me like Edward?
"Fine. Just try and remember where he took you. Anything you can remember could help find you!" He protested.
"But you'll never find me! I'm in a place where it's impossible for you to save me, but don't worry, I'll come back in 10 years, and come see you, it's going to be fine!"
He didn't reply for a long time.
"Jake? Are you still there?"
"I love you Bella."
It was my turn to stay silent. I couldn't talk.
"I've always loved you, I just didn't know it until you were gone. But then when you went missing, and the police said they may never find you, I was in so much pain, I just knew I loved you! Now I know you're with Edward, but that was because you thought I didn't love you. Now you know about it, things could change Bells."
"Jake…" I sighed. "I just don't feel that way about you. I love you, but as a friend, as a brother."
"I'll wait for you Bella, and then when you come back, I will prove my love for you. You'll see. I'll wait for you, however long it takes, Bells. Love you."
"I didn't answer until I hear him sigh. He passed the phone back to Edward.
"Bella? Are you ok?" Edward asked me.
Again I couldn't answer. I was still in shock from Jacob's revelation.
"Bella…I heard what Jacob said, and I just want you to know, that I will support you in any decision you make. I appreciate if you do love Jacob, as you two have been best friends ever since you were little. But don't ever forget that I love you Bella."
"I love you too Edward. I just need time to think." I whispered into the phone.
"It's alright, Bella. I'll be here if you ever want to talk. Just call me, and please try to escape or get some details of who's kidnapped you or where you are." He pleaded.
"I'll try Edward." I told him, even though I knew I never could.
I hung up the phone, and sank back down into the bed, only to be disturbed again by a soft knocking on my door.
"Come in." I called out, and Jasper entered, carrying Caitlyn.
I smiled to see them back again, together.
"You're still sleeping? Wow. I thought women were supposed to wake up early and cook us men, breakfast."
He smirked at me, but his grin disappeared when he was hit by a pillow, two seconds later.
"Hey! That was uncalled for!" His smile was gone, but I saw his eyes twinkling.
"Now come on. We're all waiting for you at breakfast."
"You're all waiting for me? Who?"
"Me and Alice. Why?"
"Just the way you said 'all' I thought I was holding lots of people up."
"Well, I'm so important that I count as 5 people." He grinned at me, and left the room.
I had a shower and changed into some clothes that Alice had bought me since I refused to go shopping with her.
When I went downstairs, Alice smiled warmly at me.
"Good morning. Did you sleep ok?"
"Good morning. Yeah, I slept fine, thanks."
She obviously didn't remember last night, when she had found me crying in Caitlyn's room.
I made some toast and drank some coffee.
"So what are you two girls doing today? I'm off to work."
Alice kissed him, as he scooped Caitlyn up and took her to nursery.
"So, what do you want to do today?" Alice asked me.
"I don't mind. You?" I replied.
"Well, I need to go to Edward's house. He borrowed one of Jasper's books, and I said I'll come pick it up today. You wanna come?" She asked even though the answer was obvious.
I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to see Edward, not after I had only just got him back.
We drove to Edward's house, chatting about other stuff I had missed, like Alice's wedding, and Rose's wedding.
We pulled up in front of Edward's house.
"Well here we are. A Tanya-free zone." Alice giggled.
I smiled back at her, as we walked to the front door. I rang the door bell and waited for the door to open.
I heard the key turn in the lock, the door swung open and I was looking at…Jake's face.
I stepped back immediately, in shock.
Jake hadn't seen me yet, he was smiling at Alice.
"You here for the book? I'll get Edward." He turned around, and stared at me.
"…Bella? Bella!" At once he had pulled me towards him, and I was wrapped in a strong bear hug.
"You came back! It's been 10 years! I waited, just like I said I would! I can't believe you're here! I've been waiting!"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house.
Alice followed me, smiling.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you hadn't told Jake about your time travelling."
"Time travelling?" Jake looked at me curiously.
He sat me down on the sofa, and then sat down opposite me. Alice sat on an armchair.
I told him the full story that I had already told Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Edward and my parents.
"So you're still 19? That's so cool! I'm 30!"
Just then I heard foot steps, coming down the staircase.
Edward entered the living room, and handed a book to Alice.
"Thanks." She took the book and put it into her purse.
Then Edward saw me sitting on the sofa.
"Hey Bella." He leaned in for a kiss.
My heart still fluttered whenever he kissed me.
"Are we still on for tonight?" He asked me.
I remembered then that after last night, we had made plans to go out for dinner tonight.
I nodded happily, and he kissed me again, and sat down next to me on the sofa.
"Bella…?" Jacob asked me and then I remembered that he was still there. Edward's presence made me forget everyone else.
Edward also only just registered that Jacob was sitting there.
He looked at Jacob and then back to me.
"Ah." Was all he said. "You hadn't told him?"
"You'd already told him?" Jake asked me, then he turned to Edward.
"You knew she was back, and you didn't tell me? You already spent last night together and made plans to go out today, and you didn't tell me?" Jacob's voice was getting dangerously loud.
I tried to work out what had happened.
So my phone call to Jake, had made him not give up on me, so he was living with Edward, as room mates, and they were both waiting for me to come back in 10 years. So after I had time travelled I had still gone and told Edward that I was back first. Jacob must not have been at home. So last night had still happened, where we talked and had dinner together, and we had still made plans to go out tonight, but I hadn't realised that Jacob was now living with Edward, and so I hadn't told him about my time travelling. And obviously Edward, despite spending last night with me, and knowing I was back for two days, hadn't told Jake either. Uh oh. This could be a problem.
Jacob turned back to me.
"You told him first! And you didn't bother to tell me?" He was shouting now.
He took a deep breath.
"How long have you been back?" He asked me in a low voice.
I couldn't answer, I was so scared.
He turned to Alice.
"How long has she been back?"
When Alice didn't answer either, he repeated the question, but this time shouting.
"HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN BACK?"
I found my voice now.
"5 days." I answered him in a quiet voice.
Again he went back to his low voice, but this time turning to Edward.
"And how long have you known?"
Edward looked Jake in the eye, and answered in a strong clear voice.
"2 days."
Jake grabbed me and pulled me up.
"You've been back for 5 days and you couldn't be bothered to ring me up? I've been worried out of my mind, and you couldn't manage one phone call? You even told Edward 2 days ago, but do I matter that little to you?"
He was shouting at me while shaking me.
This wasn't like Jacob. I started crying.
Edward jumped up, and snarled at Jacob.
"Put her down."
Seeing me cry, affected Jake, because he stopped shouting and put me down.
Alice ran to me, and Edward gave me a kiss.
Jake looked at all of us, and shook his head. He then looked at his hands as if he couldn't believe what he had just done. Then he ran out of the house.
