Chapter Ten

Edward and his family went on a huge hunting trip up to Alaska for a few weeks, which to them is no time but for me… well it seemed like years. I hung around the house mostly trying to stay out of danger per Edward's request. I was really bored one day so I drove down to La Push to see if any of the werewolves were around. I drove out to the beach and walked along the shore.

"Bella?"

I jumped.

"Are you alright?"

"Hey Jake, what's going on?" I asked.

"Nothing really, what are you doing down here?" He asked.

"I was bored so I thought I'd see if anyone was around." I said.

"Ah… the bloodsuckers boring?" He asked with a smile.

"Nope, just away." I said slightly annoyed because I knew he meant it.

"Oh relax Bella." Jake said.

"So, you want to hang out?" I asked. He nodded.

"Let's go back to my house." He suggested. I drove back to his house as he whined about my driving the whole way. I parked the car and we got out and went into the house.

We sat around watching the cooking channel. I was started to realize that I hadn't slept much while Edward was gone. I started to get tired. I fell asleep.

I was drifting in and out of my dreams, so it was hard to tell if I was really sleeping. I finally just passed out.

I slowly looked around. I was sweating. I realized that Jake had fallen asleep on my legs and he was burning me. I quickly squirmed to get out from under his hot body but I couldn't move him.

"OW! Jake that hurts." I shouted. He snapped up and jumped up off the couch.

"Sorry Bells, did I fall sleep?" he asked.

"Yes but I did too." I smiled. "What time is it?" I asked looking for a clock.

"It's almost ten." He muttered.

"I should be getting back." I said.

"Well, let me drive you at least." Jake said.

"But I have my truck…" I muttered. He nodded he walked me out to the truck. I got in and it wouldn't start. Jake waited for me to take off. I climbed back out of the car.

"Um, can I still have that ride?" I asked quickly. He smiled. I wondered about Edward, I hoped he be in my room when I woke up. Jake drove madly back to Forks. I saw a sliver Volvo. Jake pulled over along the highway.

"So much for hunting." Jake muttered sourly. I climbed out of the car.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" I asked. He looked worried, relieved, and annoyed. I looked up at him.

"Alice got worried when your future stopped so we raced back here… and the whole car ride I get to listen to Emmett and Jasper tell me how I just should've changed you and we wouldn't have this to worry about." He muttered. He pulled me in for a hug. I heard a low growl from Jacob, he was still touchy on me being changed over.

"I'm alright… I just went down to La Push." I muttered. "I fell asleep." I turned a little red. Edward's velvet laughed sang threw the night. I turned around.

"Thanks for hanging out with me Jake… I'll see you soon." I smiled. He got back into his car and drove off. Edward sighed.

"What?" I asked as I was still wrapped around him.

"Jacob's annoyed with me." He muttered.

"Let's get you back to Charlie's." He muttered. Edward sped off towards Charlie's. I was fighting the heavy eye lids. I fell asleep before we got back. I was slightly aware that Edward was carrying me into the house.

"Bella?"

"She fell asleep… I drove her home." Edward said quietly.

"Oh…" Charlie said. I felt Edward move again. I was on my bed.

"I'll be back soon love." Edward whispered and the door shut. I fell into a fast sleep.

Sorry for such a short chapter… I just wanted to get something out because this weekend is pretty crazy and I'm not sure when I'll update next… I hope the chapter wasn't too lame.
