DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT~

All shock on Edward's face was gone - vanished. Replaced by a strange hostility which honestly, frightened me a little. A low growl was building in his chest.

"Jacob…I don't want to hurt you. Phase back, walk away dog." Jacob is a dog? Who can understand English? "It doesn't help even if you show yourself to her, she doesn't remember. Don't. Interfere." And why was Edward acting so hostile?

And then, the man whom I assumed to be Jacob stepped out of the shrubs and trees. He was quite tall, how old was he? Even though completely unarmed, everything about him screamed dangerous. "You're…you're a guy from school am I right? A senior just like us? A classmate?"

A strange shade of disappointed flickered across his face. His arms were trembling although I though I was the one who should be feeling afraid. I waited, waited to feel afraid of this guy in front of me. This guy whose eyebrows mashed together in anger…or pain, whose heavy muscles were tightened, whose height alone would be the envy of any of Fork's basketballers. I waited, but I did not feel afraid.

Instead, I felt an overwhelming urge to step forward and embrace him in my arms- to comfort him. Although he was huge and adult-like, he looked very innocent and vulnerable, beneath the bravado. It almost as if I could see through him, could see young child, in need of the warmth of a reassuring embrace. He was still trembling. Was he hurt that I'd made a wrong assumption about him? That I forgot him? Well, it wasn't anything personal.

Edward tugged on my hand. When I failed to respond, he pulled me behind him and stepped both of us backwards, causing Jacob to tremble even more. Now, I really wanted to go up to him and comfort him. I took an involuntary step in front around Edward, who was half-crouched in a defensive position now, but his grip held me back.

"It's not safe, Bella." He murmured, only for my ears. So I was quite surprised when Jacob snorted, "I would never hurt here bloodsucker." As if he heard every word Edward had said. I nodded obediently to Edward's words and stepped back. Edward and Jacob looked like they were having some kind of discussion between them. Good. As –well I wouldn't really use the word men for Edward- grown men, they should be able to sort whatever feud between as civilized people. Not wanting to interrupt, I took the time to do some thinking about who exactly was this Jacob person.

Hmm…could he be a friend of Edward's? I looked at them. Okay, not. Classmate? Neighbour? A co-worker at Newton's? And then it struck me. I replayed Edward's words in my head again.

"Phase back…dog."

Jacob's non-stop trembling. His towering figure. The obvious animosity between the both of them.

Oh.

"Werewolf," I whispered. Both of them managed to catch that, and turned to look at me. No, stare at me. Edward looked confused and Jacob looked hopeful.

"Are you staring to remember?" He blurted out, unable to hide his enthusiasm.

"Umm, no" I replied. His face fell noticeably. I instantly felt horrible for saying that, but it was better than telling lies, right? "Well, I'm sorry but-it's just that…"

"'Sokay, Bells." He answered, distracted. "Seeya soon."

I felt Edward stiffen beside me as Jacob came forward and buried his nose in my hair. I was overcome by a warm coursing its way through my body. I held onto him a bit longer than I needed to. He chuckled and pulled away, disappearing into the dense vegetation.

The house felt too big, too empty for me without Charlie in it. I miss him. Being the chicken that I was, I had Edward stay with me in it almost every night- of course, except when he had to hunt, that was understandable. I needed to be less insecure.

After Edward had dropped me off at my house, he had left for a short hunting trip. I mean, it was totally to be expected- he hadn't hunted since my accident. Although he promised that it would be a short one and that he'd meet me at his house the next afternoon – I was still undergoing daily check-ups by Carlisle-I somehow felt hollow inside when he left. A sort of emptiness, unexplainable by nature but felt inside the being nonetheless.

I'd plan to go to sleep early that night, so that time would be faster and I could see Alice again. But before that, I decided to read a little bit of Wuthering Heights before knocking off. After brushing my teeth, I went to place my reading glasses into a bedside drawer. I felt something hard and I pulled it out, turned on the lamp and looked at it. I mean really looked at it.

I never kept a diary before. At least, I don't think I did. The diary felt like it weighed a ton in my hands. I flipped to the first page, and there in my own handwriting:
