I rode with Alice and Rosalie to their house where the next part of the plan was meant to be held. While I was sitting in the back of Alice's porsche when her cell phone rang.

"Hello," she said in her melodic tone. She held the phone to her ear and drove with a smirk on her face. My best guess was that she was talking to Edward. "Relax, Edward." I was right. "She is fine. We are just hanging out."

Rose and I sat in our seats fighting back laughs while Alice talked on her phone. "Oh, ok. Bye." Alice then burst out into fits of laughter.

"What?" I had to ask. I knew exactly what was going to happen. I just needed Alice to confirm it.

"Edward found your scent trail in the parking lot of the club. He saw that it stopped when it reached the tire tracks that my car left. He is coming to the house." We were outside of the house then.

"How long?" I asked.

"Ten minutes tops." This calmed me a bit. We needed every spare minute we could get. When I got inside, Jasper and Emmett were there. This confused me.

"Don't be confused, Bella. We figured out what was going on, and we decided that we are on your side. Our little brother needs to be taught a bit of a lesson for leaving you," Jasper told me. I smirked deviously.

"Five minutes,"Alice said suddenly. "Bella hide!" Emmett then grabbed me and ran me up the stairs to Carlisle's study. He hid me in the closet hidden behind Carlisle's bookcase.

"Stay here, Bella." Emmett told me. I heard a whoosh as Emmett ran down the stairs. From downstairs, I heard Edward growl at his siblings.

"Alice, where is she?" He growled at her.

I didn't hear Alice's response. What I saw was that Rosalie had come into the study. "Quick, Bella, we need to get you out of here." Rose grabbed me and ran me into the attic. Honestly, there attic looked like a library. What the heck?

I heard Edward slam the door into Carlisle's study. "Where is she, Jazz?" Jasper didn't bother to relax Edward from what I could hear. Rosalie left with my jacket and ran as fast as she could. I heard Edward snarl her name and follow her. Jasper came for me to run me to Edward's room.

"Stay here, Bella. You have to take the reigns now." I nodded at him and he left. I turned toward the window and took a few deep breaths in. I could do this, I just has to stay calm.

Edward slammed the door when he walked into his room. He glared. "Bella, what were you thinking?"

I kept my face composed and shrugged. "It's not a big deal, Edward. I went out to a club with some friends and things got out of hand between two guys that like me. No big deal."

He pinched the bridge of his nose. I waited for him to say something, but he didn't. So I ended the silence. "I gotta go. See ya, Edward." I walked toward the door, but I heard a growl from behind me. I turned around to find Edward in his hunting crouch. My eyes widened and my breath stopped. Oh crap, I thought.

Edward jumped in the air and tackled me to the ground. It wasn't hard enough to hurt me, but it was enough to terrify me.

"Edward, let me go!" I yelled at him.

"No," he told me. "Not until you give me some kind of explanation for your behavior." His eyes went from angry to tense to soft. I could see everything he was thinking and feeling.

I took a deep breath. I needed to make this right, but not let him off the hook, yet. "Edward, I told you that I didn't think you felt as strongly as I thought you did. I am having a good time with some friends now." I stopped to see if he would start to freak out, but surprisingly he didn't. "It's nothing personal. It's just something about me right now. I know I'm sounding selfish, but that's the way it is. I hvae to figure out some stuff."

He let me up and sat directly across from me like he did when we were at the meadow for the first time. His eyes were melting as he stared at me. "Bella... I..," his voice drifted away. Edward looked like he was going to cry, if he could; I had never seen him so vulnerable.

I pulled my eyes away from his to look at the ground. My thoughts were torn in two. Either end his suffering and just tell him that I will take him back, or keep make one last move in this game. I didn't get to choose because Edward pulled my chin up and kissed me softly. I kissed him back, but there was one last thing I wanted to do before I would end this game.

He pulled away from me and put his forehead to mine. "Bella, I am going crazy here. I am being ripped apart inside. My thoughts are torn in two. One the one hand, I love you and want to be with you, but on the other hand, you don't deserve me and deserve to enjoy yourself like a human." His eyes were agonized.I couldn't make my decision.

I stood up and pulled him up with me. I hugged him and he hugged me back. I buried my face in his chest. "I don't know what I want yet. I'm sorry." I felt his kiss the top of my head.

"I love you, Bella. I just want you to be happy." He let me go. He looked into my eyes and I looked back in his. I searched his eyes for some kind of reasoning. He just nodded at me, and I nodded back. He let me go and I went home.

Alice left me in front of my house. When I got to my room, I thought long and hard about everything. I wanted to put the plan to rest, but I decided to put one more piece in this game. I picked up my phone.

A husky voice picked up. "Hello?"

"Jacob, I need you to do something for me."
