I left Bella's house with a broken heart. I had expected to win her back easily but that was obviously not going to work. The wolf was getting in my way. I went hunting but I couldn't concentrate so I just went home. Emmett greeted me.

"So did your master plan work?" he asked grinning.

"No, not yet. A wolf got to her during our…absence," I replied. Emmett looked at me.

"Just get rid of the wolf. It can't be that hard," He told me.

"I can't do that without hurting Bella. And I don't want to hurt her again," I buried my face in my hands. Emmett clapped me on the back.

"Well good luck with the whole issue," he said, trying to be encouraging. I sat outside for a while after he left. As I was sitting there, a woman stepped out of the trees.

"Victoria," I snarled.

"Hello Edward," she sneered.

"What do you want," I growled at her.

"Well I was going to tell you how you could get Bella back, but if you don't want to know then that's fine with me," she answered and started to turn.

"Wait!" I cried. "I'm listening.

I lay in bed for a while, trying to sleep. After a while, I heard a light tap on my window. And then another. I went to the window and opened it. Paul was right below it with a handful of little pebbles.

"Paul what are you doing?" I whispered.

"Couldn't sleep. Wanna come down here?" he whispered back. I closed the window and quietly ran downstairs. I opened the door silently and walked outside. Paul greeted me with a hug.

"Paul, Edward came to me last night," I told him when he let me go. His expression immediately darkened.

"That bastard. If he hurts you again I swear he won't live to see another day," he snarled. I smiled.

"You really care about me that much?" I asked him.

"Yes I do. And I will do anything to make you happy," he replied with no hesitation. He wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned down. He stopped, clearly waiting for my permission. I closed the distance between us. His kiss was sweet and reassuring. In that moment I forgot about Edward and Victoria, and I concentrated on this moment and I held on to it with all I had.

Hey so sorry it took so long you guys. I did not know what I wanted to do but I eventually figured it out. Thanks for all your comments and support! Any ideas? I would love to hear them!
