Mia: Hey guys. Time for Chapter 9!

ImAnInspiredFan: I love your brilliant idea. I have a cool idea for the story now.

BlackRoseBella: Yes Edward did leave. But I think in the chapter Friendship Bella saves Edward. No it's not New Moon. JUST TO BE CLEAR EVERYONE we are in Eclipse now and the campfire Bella is at is the one where Bella heard all the legends of the tribe. She and Edward are together but now it's all at risk. Instead of putting his name, I put he a lot so you could get the feel that she still feels a bit of anger at him for leaving. It's OOC for her.

Wolfgurl23: Thanks so much for your support. It means a lot when my family really isn't doing much for me right now.

Bella: Yeah, yeah, you're miserable.

Mia: Well someone is very uncaring. Don't forget I control you future in this story!

Bella: Le gasp! I'm soooo sorry! Please forgive me!

Mia: Better.

Bella: She doesn't own Twilight, but right now she owns my future with *swoon* Seth.

EPov

I waited tensely as Seth handed the phone to Bella. I heard a muffled noise and shuffling before Bella's sleepy voice came on.

{Bella's phone, Edward's phone}

" 'Lo?"

"Bella! How are you, love?"

"Hi Edward. Sorry I feel asleep. Seth stop moving, your being a crappy pillow!" I growled quietly. That was my special right. [Awww Eddie's possessive and jealous]

"It's alright love. Are you ready to go?" Please say yes, say yes, say yes.

"Um I don't know. . . " In the background I heard a lot of voices protesting, demanding she stay. Bella started laughing and returned to the phone. "Well apparently I'm not supposed to leave. But I guess I am pretty tired. So . . . "

"I'll meet you at the border line in 15 minutes," I hung up immediately, not giving her time to protest.

BPov

I sighed and snapped my phone shut. Sitting up, I poked Jacob to wake him up.

"Jake wake up. I gotta go," I said, yawning. My hair was horrible and I was pretty sure it looked like a rats nest.

"Wha. . .?" Jacob let out a little snort thing. No other reaction.

"Here," Seth got up, and it was instantly colder. Before I could be sad, he leaned down by Jacob's head, and shouted, "HEY!" It made me jump. It was even funnier watching Jake flip backwards off the log and knock Seth over the head.

Now, you might be wondering why I wouldn't be freaking out like normal because I have one boyfriend and a potential boyfriend that would probably never give up trying to win me. But I was so tired I couldn't put energy into being worried. I'd deal with Edward as soon as everything wasn't so blurry.

SPov

Bella's boyfriend wanted her back. I wasn't feeling so friendly with the vampires anymore. Bella leaving made my chest feel all tight and uncomfortable. If I had it my way, Bella would stay in La Push.

"Hey Seth!" My Imprint's voice broke through my thoughts. "Jacob is taking me to the border so ummm . . ." Before she could finish, I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me for a hug. She wrapped her tiny arms around my waist and tucked her face into my chest. I smiled brightly and put my chin on top of her head.

Her hair smelled like vanilla and freesia. Those were my two new favorite smells. (I don't really know)

"Hey let me see your cell phone," I said suddenly. Bella understood what I was going to do and handed it over without question. It was kind of hard, because her phone was tiny, but I used her tiny keypad to put my home phone number in. My mom Sue couldn't really afford two cell phones what with Dad being gone, so I went without one.

"Call me tomorrow?" I asked hopefully.

BPov

Seth was looking at me like a puppy meeting its new owner. Hope filled eyes, excited and just a little bit afraid. I couldn't help but to smile.

"Okay. I gotta go tell my boyfriend the news," Now that I was more awake, I was feeling more apprehension. I knew Edward wouldn't take this well. And I couldn't imagine living without him. Sure Seth was a great guy. But a couple fun hours couldn't take the place of so many times with Edward.

And yeah there'd been a lot of grieving. But you know what they say about absence and the heart. Think of it as a bank and interest. You deposit money, and the longer you leave it there, the more interest builds up and the amount of money increases. I had always loved Edward, even as the love went nowhere. Seeing him was like collecting the interest. Seth was a bank account not really opened yet.

God this was confusing. I need to go home and sleep. So I said my goodbyes, and just before we left, I turned to look at the campfire. Emily and Sam were snuggled up together. Kim was using Jared as a pillow and he didn't seem to mind at all. Paul was joking around with Embry and Quil, while the Elders were discussing something. Seth had moved to sit by his sister, who was arguing with him.

They were a family, that circle. And for a few hours, I'd been a part of the family. But now I had to return to the world where the most important person, to me at least, was their enemy.

Alright peeps! That was REALLY hard. I am not a great romance writer, but I am doing my best. How am I doing?

Big news: I got cast in a play that my community is doing. Rehearsal is 6:30 to 9:00 PM every day after I get done with school. But I will try to add a new chapter every weekend, possibly two if I can. Also more biggish news: I'm going to be missing lots of school in a bit because of something, so look forward towards more chapters.

Till next chapter~ Mia

Le gasp! A bomb V
