Bella POV
I whipped my head round to see Edward's furious expression; I smirked and pushed past him roughly and smiled when he staggered backwards.
"S'cuse me!" I said in a cheery voice as I shot down the stairs and ran into the living room. "Esme! Esme! "
Esme came out of the kitchen holding some polish and a dusting cloth with a smile on her face. Before I could say anything she started talking.
"Let him in Bella, I'll make him some food; make sure he takes those muddy boots off." She said, chuckling at my excited expression and squeal that escaped my mouth as I ran to hug her.
A stream of giggles escaped my mouth as I threw the door open and into Jacob's arms and started to giggle even louder as he swung me quickly from side to side. His warm skin felt amazing on my cold, hard skin and made me feel at home; I'd really missed him.
"Jakey!" I screamed.
"Oh Bells! Thank god I found you!" He said laughing and then sobering himself up to stick a stern facial expression on. It didn't fool me into thinking that he was mad at me though; I knew he was just happy to have found me. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me where you were going? You know we don't argue and then just take off, tell me where you're going next time!"
I sighed at his scolding tone, feeling like a child and a little humiliated knowing that Edward was now stood behind us after following me down the stairs and out of the house. "I'm sorry." I mumbled, becoming suddenly very interested in my feet and the ground that they were on top of.
"What are you doing here Bella? You promised you wouldn't do this to yourself." He said to me softly bringing my chin up so that I would meet his eyes and make me understand that he was concerned about me.
Jake was an amazing friend and had been there for me ever since I'd become a vampire, It was just a shame that he didn't get there quick enough to prevent me from becoming a vampire.
I don't regret becoming a vampire, our friendship probably wouldn't have existed if he wouldn't have had to support me while I was still a newborn. He had sacrificed so much for me and bore the marks of my many temper tantrums that I have had since being changed. He was now used to being bitten, scratched and having bones broken from me losing control of how hard I gripped him when we argued.
He was also used to me sobbing on his shoulder telling him how sorry I was after we'd made up and me bandaging his arm or whatever part of his body I had maimed. I knew that this wasn't necessary as his body repaired itself quite quickly when we'd fought, but it comforted me and made me feel better about the situation if he let me put some ointment on and bandage up his wounds.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come here, I didn't know that they were here, I wouldn't have stayed Jacob but I missed Alice so much." I whispered in a soft voice.
Jake's brown eyes softened when he heard the tone of voice I'd been using and probably when he noticed the truth and vulnerability in my voice. He nodded and put his arms around me again and proceeded to rub his scorching palms up and down my arms in a soothing motion and bent down to kiss my forehead. "Alright sweetheart, it's alright."
Edward was still stood watching our display, his hands clenched dangerously tight at his sides and his jaw clenched making his delicious jaw line even more irresistible. His fiery bronze hair sticking out in all different directions and the nostrils on his perfectly straight nose were flaring and his amber coloured eyes were wild.
Sexy Bastard.
Suddenly his head whipped up and his face had a look of disbelief and bewilderment, his mouth dropped open and his body lost all of the tension it seemed to hold only seconds ago.
"What?" He asked, I heard a tone of confusion hidden in his questioning.
Did I just say that out loud?
I looked up to see Jacob's reaction but he seemed to be just giving Edward a questioning glance and then he started to speak but I cut him off.
"Jake, come inside?" I asked him with a soft smile. "I'll see if I can make you something if you go to the store and get some food for yourself."
"Sure thing Bells, Is that alright with... your hosts?" He asked hesitantly looking at Edward for confirmation.
I glanced over at Edward and met my eyes with his and silently begged him to let me look after Jacob. Edward stared back in response to my gaze, I saw his eyes softened fractionally and to my surprise he nodded and started to make his way back to the house.
"Thank-you Edward." I whispered softly.

"Thank-you Edward." She whispered in a beautifully soft voice.
I stalked towards the house with them following close behind me and tried to hide the shudder that ran through my entire body when she said my name so softly and sweetly. I cursed myself for being stupid and letting her affect me, I couldn't let her see that I still cared.
I'm no good for her, not worthy of her; she wasn't mine.

Jacob had just gotten back from the store with several bags of groceries and had set them on the kitchen table. I had started to get out the things that I needed if I was going to make Jacob his dinner.
His phone started to chime from the pocket in his shorts and he excused himself and made his way up to his bedroom the answer it.
I figured this would be the perfect moment to have a conversation with the rest of the residents in the house to make sure that Jacob being here wasn't going to be a problem.
"Hey, guys, would you please come into to the kitchen?" I asked them softly.
Immediately I heard movement from upstairs and heard several pairs of footsteps coming down the stairs, some faster than others. Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Alice and Jasper made their way into the kitchen; Alice with a mischievous smile on her face which I chose to ignore.
"I just wanted to make sure that Jacob's being here was alright, I don't think that it'll be long before he leaves and it wouldn't be full time." I stated, I wasn't very confident in that the answer would be the one that I was hoping for, especially from Edward and Emmett.
"Bella, honey, you know Esme and I see you as a member of our family even if you don't yourself, we want you to be happy with us, hopefully if you settle in well enough then you'll want to stay with us permanently . " Carlisle spoke with a sweet and loving voice and made me feel so overwhelmed with happiness that I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck.
Next I looked to Alice and Jasper who simply nodded and smiled at me.
"We want you to be happy with us Bella, I want my best friend to live in the same house with me and I want to make things right between us, I want to take advantage of this second chance that I've been given with you. Jake looked after you all these years and made sure that you were following the right path in terms of your diet and made sure that you were able to restrain from your bloodlust's desire and live the kind of life that made you happy." Alice spoke passionately and I actually believed that she meant what she'd said about wanting me to be happy with them, living with the Cullen's was a tempting offer and something that I could easily subject myself to.
"Ditto!" Emmett said with a goofy grin on his face, earning an equally goofy one back from me.
I heard movement behind me and forgot that Edward was still here,; he looked uncomfortable and just nodded in agreement and left the room. This caused my smile that Emmett had put on my face to disappear.
Jacob came back down the stairs and into the living room, he registered all of us in the room and looked warily between us all.
"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" He asked quietly. "I can leave if you-"
"No, Jacob," Esme said to him warmly. " We were just discussing your stay, make yourself at home while you're here, it is the least that we can do after all that you have done for Bella. You did a marvellous job of raising her from a newborn to the vampire that she is today and we can't thank you enough."
"Oh, Mrs. Cullen, I love Bella, I couldn't just leave her to struggle by herself, I'm glad I was the one to help to look after her while she was a newborn. At least the wounds healed quickly when she did lose control and she had people support her." Jacob said respectfully to Esme, his views on vampires had greatly changed since I had become one of them. Vegetarians that is. "Thank-you for looking after Bella for the time that she has been here and thank-you for your hospitality, I only plan to trespass on your kindness for a couple of days if that would be alright?"
Carlisle and Esme nodded and the rest of the clan smiled, obviously unsure what to say.
"Alright then Bella, you better go and make something for our guest to eat! I'm sure he's famished." Carlisle chuckled as I nodded.
I lead Jacob into the kitchen my excitement taking over me, I turned to him and let out a delighted squeal and started to unpack the shopping that he'd brought back.
Piano music started to echo through the house as I began to cook the chicken for Jacob's dinner, Edward's music was the same as ever, the complicated compositions still sounded as though it would not be possible to have been played by only one set of hands and was still as breathtakingly beautiful as ever.
I seared the chicken and began to boil pasta and heat up the sauce that Jacob had brought back from the store while getting out a place mat and utensils for him to eat his meal with.
The food smelt absolutely foul to me and made me wonder why I had ever liked the things that I remember enjoying. As I plated up the boiling noodles and spooned the chicken and pasta sauce onto the plates for Jacob I got excited to see how he'd like his food and if I could still cook as well as I used to be able to.
I pushed the steaming bowl towards him and motioned for him to eat in a very enthusiastic way which apparently amused him as he started to gather pasta onto his fork along with some chicken and sauce.
He shovelled the mixture into his mouth and started chewing, suddenly his face scrunched up and he started to cough.
"Jesus Bella! How much salt did you put in that pasta?" He exclaimed with disgust on his face with his lips turned up in a wide smile. "Did you even cook the chicken? It's raw on the inside; you ass!" He exclaimed roaring with laughter.
I started to join in as he let his fork drop back into his plate and shook his head from side to side while still laughing. The piano music got suddenly louder, apparently trying to block out the sound of Jacob's boisterous laughter.
"Oh Isabella Black, what am I going to do with you?" He asked adding a couple more barking laughs.
The music suddenly stopped with as start and the sound of the piano bench scraping across the marble floor in the hallway caught mine and Jacob's attention and when we looked towards the door way, there was Edward Cullen with the most heartbreaking expression I had ever seen his gorgeous face wear.
"Isabella Black?" His tortured voice question, breaking on the sound of my new surname.
