Hey guys! Last chapter, I got tons, and when I say tons, I mean tons of reviews from people saying they hate The story with Jacob. Look, in case you guys haven't realized that this story is eventually Bella and Edward than, it's like really? Really? Can you read summaries? But, look, I always say I love you guys for reading, and I do. You are the best fans ever. And, I should take criticism and turn it into constructive criticism. If you guys want Edward more in the story, and if you want to see Jacob look like an idiot, trust me it's coming. Big time… Here is some of the Edward part you've been asking for… Love you for reading!

Real Time
Bella's POV
I awoke from the dream I had suddenly. I had droplets of sweating running down my cheeks and I could feel how crimson red my face was. I looked around my room slowly, making sure that I was still in my familiar house, and noticed my window open, with cool breeze running in, and fluttering the curtains. Cool air was surprisingly appealing to me so I walked over to my window seat, and sat down, trying to cool off.
I enjoyed the sweet air when I took deep breathes taking it in, and pushing it out. I was fine for a couple of minutes, and then I tried to remember what I was dreaming about. After much concentration, I finally remembered.
I am sitting at the park with Jacob and then I see Tanya walk up to me with Edward. She curses at me, and Edward stares with no expression at all. Soon, I can feel tears welling up in my eyes. I cringe back with each word she spits out like I had been slapped.
Jacob looked back at me with a sly smile. He stood by her and grasped he hand. I was crushed. Streams, no rivers, of tears pour down my face, and Jacob takes Tanya's hand and puts it to he lips. She smirks and snickers.
Once Edward sees what Jacob did to Tanya, he crumples, and starts to melt. I kneel down, still crying hysterically, and hold his remains in my hands to my heart. I look at Jacob in disgust. All I can think is it is his fault. He chased my Edward away. Edward was my best friend. He was gone. Jacob betrayed Edward and I both. Now I was left with nothing. He loved Tanya, and Edward was gone. I was alone. Alone.
I look up at Jacob with a fowl face, "You." I say.
Then I couldn't remember anything else about the dream. I assumed that that was when I woke up. Although it was one in the morning I decided to be awake for a while. I head over to my night stand and I started to grab my book, but then I notice my phone. A small 16 was blinking on and off, on and off. It meant I had 16 messages. I pushed play.
The first one started, "Bella, uh, hi. Look, I know your angry, but please give me a call. I'm sorry… Please. Just give me a call. Uh, bye."
It was Edward. I scowled. Then, I listened to more. Each one was Edward apologized. My heart jumped at each one. And each message, my hear skipped a beat. I played the eleventh one ,although I could hear it was Edward when it started, I let it play. "Bella, please just answer. It's Edward. Bella? God, I'm sorry Bella. I didn't mean to hurt you. Just please pick up…. Please. Ugh. Alright then, Bella. I'm sorry. Bye."
I listened to each one, and knowing I could have called each time, I still didn't. But it was the very last one that got to me, "Hi Bella… Have you listened to the messages I've been leaving? Well, I hope you did. But if you didn't I hope you'll at least listen this time. I'm sorry Bella. Look, I know Tanya and I get on your nerves, together, or at least her individually. I hope you still like me as a regular single person. Or at least without her. Because I broke up with her. Bella, Tanya and I are over, okay? But you still haven't called me. And so I'm going to assume that you are too angry to. I'm sorry for hurting you in any way, Bella. I'm sorry. Got it? I'm sorry. I'm just going to stop calling now though. I'll miss you if you never talk to me again, but I can understand it. I messed up big time, and on your birthday? That was more than unnecessary. I know. I miss you Bella. Please give me a call, though. I miss you. I'm so sorry. Bye."
I almost fell. I knew I didn't have all of the information, but it sounded like Edward broke up with Tanya because of me. He didn't have to do that. Edward had done so much for me throughout the years, and if he seriously liked Tanya and dumped her because I was throwing a fit.. That got to me. I knew what I needed to do. I picked up my phone, and slowly dialed Edward's cell phone number.
Meanwhile
Edward's POV
Dreamlessly, wait, scratch that, Sleeplessly, I got up from laying down on my bed. I had gotten not one ounce of sleep that night. Nothing had happened with me trying to go to bed, and maybe catch a dream along the way, taking me away from how I felt without Bella. A dream that left me with no feelings for her. But I couldn't help it. Bella was beautiful, and smart, athletic, kind, generous, friendly, wonderful, thoughtful, intellectual, well spoken, perfect. Yeah, I think perfect was the word. Bella Swan was perfect. And to my beliefs, Bella Swan was perfect for me, not Jacob Black.
I felt my hands turn into fists at the thought of Jacob. Jacob knew that he had no feelings for Bella when he asked her out. My hopes were just that he wasn't developing feelings as he pretended to like her while he was going out with her.
I walked around my room, feeling my body ache for wanted sleep, but it was sleep it wouldn't give itself, so I ignored it. I smiled when I saw my favorite picture of Bella, but frowned when I noticed that it was just a picture, and that I might not ever see her loveable smile again because of the stupid idiotic way I acted towards her.
I went and sat on my bed, with my head in my hands. I felt a strange sense of waiting for something, like something great or completely terrible would happen. Adrenaline pumped through my veins. I wondered why, when I heard a buzzing coming from my night stand. The sound of the vibrate mode on my phone when it was ringing.
I wondered who would be calling me at one in the morning before I gasped when I saw who was calling.
Bella.
Real Time
Bella's POV
I waited. I waited for my best friend. For my Edward. Three rings passed. Nothing. Another ring. Nothing. Then, after two more rings after, and when I just about gave up hope, he answered,
"Hello?" his velvet voice rang.
Suddenly every ounce of hate I had felt for him flooded away. I missed Edward. I missed him bad. My heart ached for hearing him again, for telling him how terribly I acted, and for not appreciating how he was one of the best parts of my life.
"Uh, hi Edward. Look, you had no reason at all for saying sorry… If you liked Tanya, then I should have respected your decision, and listened to you when you said sorry. I never wanted to make you feel bad, or think I would just leave you there and alone. With Tanya. Ew. I mean, well, I'm just sorry. And I wanted to let you know that if you broke up with her because of me, and because you wanted me to feel better because of it, then get back with her, Edward. If you really like her than I don't want to stand in the way of you and her. You relationships are completely your choice. I just want you to know I'm sorry for being such a crappy friend. It like, shit, I'm so terrible. Please forgive me, Edward." I said, the words quickly flew out. I didn't even think about what I was saying, I just said what I thought, and what came to my mind. I said what I felt.
On the other line, I heard Edward sigh, "Bella, your not the one who's crappy, it's me. I'm sorry that I did something that I just knew you wouldn't like. I didn't mean to not even be thoughtful. Bella, I'm just really sorry."
I told him, "Edward, really. It's not you're fault. It's mine. Can we forget about all of this and be friends again?"
He laughed, "Yes, I would love that!"
"Good, so do you want to get together soon, you know? Do something… I miss you. I know it's only been two days but, well, Edward, you're like my best friend."
"You too, Bella. You know what? I didn't get a chance to do anything with you for you're birthday. I have some money set aside that I planned on using for it. What do you want to do?" he wondered.
"Umm… I don't know. But, since it's a school night we should just think about it throughout the day, and then go somewhere after school. Then, we can do whatever. WE haven't had a day out together in a long time. Or at least since Jacob and I got together."
"Uh, yeah. I'll think about it. But, I don't want you to end up having to crash in class because we were talking so late. Get to bed, Bella. "
"Okay, bye Edward." I chuckled.
"Bye, Bella." he said, and we hung up. That night, I slept lightly, without that heavy thing I was carrying around on my back without Edward. Sweet dreams were on their way…

Jacob's POV
Bella. Bella. Bella. I couldn't stop thinking about Bella. She was my girl. She was mine, and I loved every moment of her being mine. I loved it when she smiled, when she laughed, when she shook her hips, pouted, I loved it when she had eyeliner on, and I loved it even more when she didn't have any makeup on at all. I liked how sometimes she would get all workup for something, I loved it when she was over dressed for school, and when she was underdressed and wearing sweats to school. Bella was why I woke up in the morning, and why I went to bed at night so I could see her again in the morning.
I hadn't done Bella right. Before I asked her out, I had no feelings for her at all. You see, nobody really knows about it, but I like to challenge Edward. I liked to make him jealous. I liked it when I was best at everything. When Edward took interest in soccer, I started to play soccer when I got home from school so I could try out for the team and become the best player. I guess I was just a little overly competitive.
But now, I was so in love with Bella. She was perfect. Unlike no girl at all. I was afraid I would fall for her. It was what I had feared more than anything. Bella never knew it, but she had so many guys falling for her. They were all caught in her web. And the sad part was she didn't even know. More popular girls at the school could have done so much with power like that. With everyone willing to do anything for her. Edward, Mike, Tyler, and Eric were only a few people who were madly in love with her.
She deserved more than me. Bella was worthy of gods.
I should do something for her. I thought.
So, after a while of thinking, I decided I would take Bella out for dinner/ lunch after school at a local diner around the block from the high school. Within walking distance. Bella was such a simple girl, I was sure that she would love it. Then, maybe when I dropped her off at her house, I could get another one of those sweet kisses she gave. And, it would be a surprise for her. I thought she would like that, too.
It was true. She had me caught in that web of hers.

Okay, so what did you think? I added a little bit of Edward and Jacob's POV as a bonus. I really hope I'm catching your attention again. I'm sorry if I've disappointed you guys with how long it's taking me to get to the parts that you want with Edward and Bella being together. But in the mean time, if you want to read some of my stories with Edward and Bella than check out my story Those Green Eyes. I promise you that within at tops four chapters, I will have Jacob looking like a complete idiot. That sure will be fun to write… Umm… Good parts are coming, okay? Love you for reading!!!!
