A/N: This update was written by Chelsie-Kay. It begins when Bella leaves to go to La Push. Thanks so much for the reviews everyone! We appreciate them :D

The boundary line was near. I could sense. Feel it. Taste it.

I slammed my foot on the brakes and spun the wheel in my fury, causing the car to come to a screeching halt, blocking the road either way. My hand gripped the door handle, wrenching it open with inhuman strength and speed. I knew she'd hear. They all would. The raindrops began to pelt the ground, gliding over my skin, clinging to my bronze hair. Flashes of the sky's anger glowed in my now blackened eyes. And as another hideous strike of lightning pelted the ground, I felt the force of the wind blow past me; the flaps of my leather jacket billowing in its strength. I opened my mouth, bared my teeth, and roared a deafening cry that would have matched the thunder surrounding me.

"BELLA!"

Chapter Ten

Bella POV:

I knew Edward didn't believe me but I made my decision. I felt myself pale a little hoping Alice hadn't seen it. There was nothing they could really do now. I was over the line. They couldn't drag me back. I pulled up to Jacob's house and smiled sadly. I remembered the times Jacob and I spent in that garage. I didn't think I'd ever be back here again. Seth stepped out of the house smiling. I parked the truck and got out.

"Seth!" I exclaimed. I ran over to him as he opened his arms. He picked me up hugging me tightly to his chest. I bit my lip. This reminded me so much of Jacob it hurt a little. I tried not to cry as he let me go.

"Bella?" he asked looking at me concerned. I managed a smile and shook my head.

"I'm okay."

He pulled me into a one armed hug and walked toward the house.

"I'm so glad you came vampire girl." He teased, "Even though you smell." I rolled my eyes with a smile.

"I'm glad I came too." I said with a genuine smile on my face. He grinned and opened the screen door for me. I walked in quietly and found the whole pack sitting in the little living room. Emily was even there sitting in the chair next to Billy. I felt tears sting my eyes. I hadn't been here since Jacob left. It hurt to know that he wasn't here. Emily quickly stood and hugged me.

"We're glad you're here, Bella." She said softly giving me a tight squeeze. I managed a smile and she sat me down in the chair next to Billy.

"Hello, Bella." He stated taking my hand. I smiled and leaned over to hug him. He patted my back gently and gave me an encouraging smile. He'd been so strong through all of this. He'd told Charlie that Jacob would come back when he needed to while my dad frantically tried to find him. Sam stood up and everyone's eyes were on him. Embry gave me a quick wink and turned his attention back to Sam.

"We recently heard from Jacob." He started and I squeezed Billy's hand a little tighter, "He was somewhere in Canada. He…He's been thinking about everything very hard. He's decided…to come back." I felt a smile break on to my face as Billy, beside me, relaxed.

"He's really coming back?" I asked clearly excited. Sam smiled a little.

"Yes, Bella. He's coming back…but it's going to take a few days. He's planning on taking his time."

"But he's coming back!" I exclaimed. This was fantastic! Jacob was coming back! He'd be here for the wedding. The pack smiled at me and Emily hugged me again.

"Now, who's ready to eat?" she asked. All of the boys, if that's what you could call them, raised their hands. She explained later that she made them all go to raising their hands instead of shouting. I laughed and hugged Billy. He gave me a tight squeeze.

"I'm so happy that's he's coming back, Billy."

"I am too, Bella. At least I know that he's alright now."

I gave him a small smile, "I should probably be going."

"What! You just got here!" Seth exclaimed. I looked over at him to see him jutting out his lower lip as far as he could. I couldn't help but laugh.

"We're having a bonfire, Bella. You are more than welcome to stay." Emily said as Sam wrapped his arm around her waist. I smiled a little.

"Please, Bella." Seth pouted. I sighed.

"I can stay for a little while longer." I said and Seth hugged me tightly again and I squirmed a little. "Seth…can't…breathe…"

"Oh…sorry…" he mumbled setting me down. I smiled and followed him out to the fire pit. Sam lit a fire and Emily brought out a large amount of food. I knew these guys would eat everything. I smiled and took a hot dog for myself before the pack could dig in. Emily sat next to me as the sun started to set and dark clouds appeared on the horizon. I watched with slight disgust as Seth devoured ten hotdogs by himself.

"Did you tell Edward you were here?" she asked watching Sam with a smile.

"No, I didn't."

She looked over at me, "Why haven't you?"

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, "Edward gets upset whenever Jacob is brought up and he doesn't know I've been calling to check in on everything here. It would upset him too much to know that I was here."

"Bella, I think you should have told him."

"I know. I should have but I wouldn't have been able to get here. He disabled my car the last time I tried to come over here." I said with a heavy sigh. It was true. He was known to do it. I hated hurting Edward but I needed to know what happened to Jacob the moment Billy called. Thunder clouds started to roll in as the pack got rowdier. Paul threw a hotdog at Embry who bit down fast enough to catch it in his mouth without choking. Seth and Quil were taking turns throwing things at Sam who glared at them darkly but the two just laughed. I smiled. I missed this. I missed them but…I missed Edward. I should have told him the truth. He was probably going mad worrying about me. He would know I wasn't at Angela's. I winced and mentally kicked myself. Lightening struck to the East making me jump.

"Scared vampire girl?" Paul teased. I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up, Paul." Seth snapped in my defense. I gave him a small smile and shook my head.

Suddenly, the entire pack looked off toward the invisible line that marked the treaty between them and the Cullen's. Just as a crack of thunder sounded, I heard something that chilled me to the core.

"BELLA!" It was Edward. Only it didn't sound like Edward. I shivered at the anger my name held in that single shout. The pack slowly turned to look at me. I bit my lip, grabbed my keys and ran to my truck. I got in as fast as I could. Seth grabbed the door.

"Be careful, Bells."

"Thanks, Seth." I mumbled quickly. I started the truck and peeled out of the driveway as fast as my poor truck could manage. I knew the moment I passed the line because two bright headlights lit up my rearview mirror too close for comfort. I could feel his eyes burning into the back of my head. This couldn't just be about me going to La Push and not telling him. This wouldn't make him that angry…something else happened. And as I pulled into the Cullen's driveway, I was about to find out what.
