Manny smiled brightly as Edward entered, and when he walked away in a hurry he exhaled slowly and slouched back again. "Can I go outside for a while? Or are you holding me captive." He sighed, standing up suddenly.

Frida grabbed his arm, turning him to face her. "What are you doing?" She asked, concerned.

Manny shook his head. "I need to be alone for un minuto. Please." He begged, turning away again. He waited for a response from Jasper or Emmett.

Emmet and Jasper looked at each other after looking at Edward's always-concerned face. They shrugged, and looked down at Manny.

Jasper loosened up into his normal self, walking toward the kid, "Edward has nice comforting techniques too. He's been through more than you think." Jasper kept his monotone in tack. And let his emotional ability fill up Manny's body. He waited for his reaction.

Manny's frustrated mood suddenly changed, making him comfortable in this place. He slumped his shoulders. He still felt the need to leave for a moment, get his thoughts straight. When he turned and faced Jasper's expectant eyes, he got suspicious. "Why don't I feel frustrated...? I feel more... Comfortable." He raised an eyebrow, confused.

Frida looked at Manny, seeing him relax. But Manny always held a grudge. And he was so angsty one moment, then relaxed the next. Something was going on here that the boys weren't telling them, and she looked at Jasper, waiting for his response.

Jasper smiled and looked back at Emmet, "Told you they don't listen." His fangs showed as he kept his smile when he turned back to face Manny.

"Edward, Alice, and I have more than regular vampires." He grinned, "Ed, can read what everyone in this room's mind now. And the reception gets stronger the more close you are to them." He paused, "But he gets so frustrated, because he can't read Bella's." He chuckled.

Emmet stepped in, "Jaz can make your emotions feel how ever he wants them to. He could make you more comfortable or less." Emmet shrugged.

Jasper sighed, "Alice's is a bit complicated. Her power is to look into the future. But, only when the decision is completely accurate can the pictures in her mind clear up completely." He grinned, "She gets frustrated too when she can't read Jacob. 'Member when everyone thought Bella was dead?" He chuckled low, and Emmet joined in.

"Careful Jaz, Ed will bite your head off mentioning that." Emmet added shortly.

"Yeah, yeah." Jasper looked at the kids now, "It's noon, you kids need anymore questions?" He nodded toward Manny, pushing his ability harder, making him more comfortable than before.

"Who is this Jacob...?" Manny asked, confused. It seemed like they knew who they were talking about, but forgotten that he didn't know. He sat back down into his chair, feeling even more comfortable now. He cursed Jasper's ability silently in his mind.

Frida was relieved when Manny sat back down, but also wanted to know who 'Jacob' was. She leaned forward in her chair, attempting to listen closer to the conversation Manny was having with the vampires. She wondered absentmindedly if Edward was listening in on her thoughts, and so she squeezed her eyes shut and thought, "Hi Edward!" Loudly. She hoped he'd be able to hear her.

"Bella would love to explain who Jake is." Emmet smiled, "You might have to get used to Ed interupting Bella's description of Jacob. He doesn't think the best of him, let's just say." Emmet winked.

"Are you ready for breakfast?" Edward chuckled as the words came out.

"Bring me down." Bella's words didn't sound like an order, more like a loving murmur buried in Edward's chest.

Edward grinned and Bella could feel his moving chest, as he laughed lightly. He lifted her up quickly and set her down gently in her chair after the blurs came into a nice sunny view. Bella let out a light sigh, before looking around.

"It feels nice in the morning." She looked at the people around her, she grinned, "Morning."

Manny turned to face Bella. "Buenos días." He smiled cheerfully, keeping his mind off of the two boys behind him. He was glad that someone else had come, and he wouldn't have to talk only to Jasper and Emmett anymore. He watched as Frida ambled over to Edward, smiling happily.

Frida walked over to Edward, giving her most winning smile. "Buenos días, Edward! Did you hear my message?" She asked happily, watching Edward's face with careful eyes. She wanted to know if he'd heard everything ELSE she'd thought of this morning... Manny, Manny, Manny... She tried not to blush.

Bella closed her eyes feeling relaxation overflow her system, "Mmmm, keep that nice feeling up Jasper." She opened her eyes, seeing Jasper grin kindly down at Bella she smiled back. Bella swung her legs carelessy around under the table. She looked up and blushed forgetting for a moment about the kids around her.

"Good morning." She said quietly. She shrunk back into Edward's grasp, and she snuggled comfortably to eat at the same time.

Edward tried to grin lightly as possible at the girl in front of him, "Yes, it was pretty loud the way you said everything." Edward used his velvet touch in his light voice making it sound heavenly.

Manny nodded at Bella quickly, then raised one eyebrow. "Who is Jacob?" He asked calmly, feeling the comfort well inside of him. He watched her eat, noticing the way she was always in the protection of Edward. He smiled a little at the corner of his mouth, trying to make this question seem reasonable.

Frida laughed. She walked back to sit down in her chair, just in time to hear Manny ask his question. She looked at Bella expectantly.

Bella snapped her head up right when Jacob was mentioned. She looked up at Edward's frozen face. She took it as a sign and just replied simply, "He's a loving friend," she paused when Edward choked out a bit, "just like Edward." Bella smiled hoping that this would make what she said, be what the kids wanted.

Manny leaned back in his chair. "Yeah, but Jasper says Jacob is 'hard to see' for Alice. How come he's so especial?" He asked, confused. He knew there was something Bella wasn't telling him, and remembered vaguely about Edward saying 'Anything can happen here.'

Frida glanced at Jasper and Emmett, then back to Edward and Bella. She was totally focused in on Bella now, waiting for either her or Edward's reply.

Jasper pursed his lips turning away from Edward and Bella. Edward glared back at Jasper, warning him. Jasper backed off, as Bella looked at him questionably.

She cocked her head to the side slightly before talking, "You told him?" She flitted her eyes at Edward for one moment before continuing, "Well," she shrugged, "I'm sure they won't tell anyone."

Bella looked up at Edward's face for confirmation, but his eyes were still focused on Jasper. Bella tried harder to get his attention, she tugged lightly on the end of his shirt.

He looked down slowly, "Why don't you tell them about him?" Bella could tell it was hard for Edward to say those words nicely. So she stretched her neck up to give him a kiss.

Manny nodded. "Por favor, Bella." He pleaded, wanting very badly to clear up the unknown facts that still needed to be discovered. He smiled slightly, trying to look like he was paying more attention now.

Frida smiled, looking at Bella. She was grateful that Manny was so persistent, and that he'd been there to urge the conversation on.

Jasper and Emmet stayed back, and walked silently out of the room and wandered around the house joking around.

BELLA'S POV

I watched them leave my sight, and I puckered my lips at the corner of my mouth, making them leave my mind. I thought of how I would explain everything about Jake, when Edward was right behind me. I gave a deep sigh before I found my voice to start speaking.

"Well, me and Jake knew each other since we were kids." I smiled even more the more I mentioned him, and soon I didn't care about how everyone felt about how I was describing everything about Jacob.

"I barely noticed him when I moved here from Arizona. He'd grown so big!" I emphasized 'big' trying to make this not sound too boring. I told them about everything fast, and slowed down talking about when Edward left me. I felt him stiffen, and I tried my best to make my words not hurt him.

"And when Edward left, I wasn't happy. But Jake made that feeling go away." I grinned, "We spent so much time together;" I frowned remembering how sick he felt that night at the movies, "but somehow he changed. He started to feel really really sick." I made the sick part sound very important, "He wouldn't want to talk to me, and the sad empty feeling grew back in me." Small drop of water trickled down my cheek, I ignored them the best I could, but I couldn't help but sob. Remembering how horrible I felt with neither them by me.

Manny looked at his feet, obviously uncomfortable about the tears in Bella's eyes. When she started sobbing, he sighed. "Is this... Too painful to talk about...? I mean, you don't have to tell me." He said in a low voice, looking now up at Edward.

Frida sighed, looking at her hands that she twirled in her lap uncomfortably. When Bella started sobbing, it made her feel very bad. She sighed again, looking at Edward the way Manny did, waiting for a reply.

I pursed my lips and shut my eyes for a few seconds, "No, it's alright."

I felt a cold hand touch my waist, I jumped up, and gasped. A soft murmur entered my ear.

"Bella," Edward's voice made my sob calmer, I started choking now and then. My clothes were now drenched in salt water. But him being by me made me feel too good to care.

"You don't have to explain everything right now. They will be here until the space bends again. Don't worry, Love you will have so much time to talk about him." I stopped breathing when he mentioned, 'him'. I knew what he meant, but it never felt right when Edward said anything about Jake.

I clutched onto his chest, and he lifted me up slowly, the water dried slightly when my face touched his black shirt. But I knew for sure that it would be stained as well. I could only hear bits of what he was saying as my sobbing took over most of what my head was hearing.

Manny nodded, looking down again. He looked behind him, noticing for the first time that Jasper and Emmett had left. This was obviously a very painful subject, and he'd started the topic. He felt guilty for a moment, looking now at Frida.

Frida smiled weakly when Manny looked at her. She knew that it was very hard for Bella to talk about this boy now, and she turned to her, waiting for her to continue or say something at least.

I could feel the light, quick steps Edward took leaving the room. My throat felt sore, I could feel it swell up.

Edward nodded down at Frida, telling her he would calm her down. Esme flashed into the room then.

"Just make yourself at home here." Esme smiled at the two kids, as Edward walked out of the room.

He tried not to make me feel dizzy, he walked up the stairs without a noise slowly.

I felt Edward's smooth movements stop abruptly. I lifted up my head weakly, and peeked out of Edward's arms. I saw Carlisle's curious eyes, eye at me. I ducked back slowly, trying to keep the sobbing to over come me again.

Manny smiled as Carlisle entered the room, taking note of the other various happenings in the room. He was getting confused about something. 'Welcome to our world.' Carlisle had said. Manny wondered what this meant, concentrating on whatever they were going to say next.

I buried my face deeper into Edward's grip, hoping to hide from the memories that flowed into my mind unwillingly. I struggled and soon my face was sore from being rubbed against Edward's high quality shirt.

He turned me around and I felt the soft covers of the clean bed sitting in the middle of his room. I squeezed my eyes tighter, trying to keep away from all of my senses.
