Hi, thanks to everyone who reviewed they make me so happy!

I just want to clear some things up first though for people... the only feelings Bella has for Jacob are best friend feelings and the reason why they didn't say much was because she thinks Jacob hates her because she is a vampire and is still with Edward and the situation for Jacob is a little strange, the girl he loves is standing in front of him with her vampire family and is a vampire herself it's a little hard for him... poor Jacob.

I hope my rambling help some people understand better, ok on with the chapter :)

Chapter 11: Farewell Father

POV: Bella

Seeing Jacob Black again brought everything about Forks tumbling back. Although I was more than happy with my life now I still missed people... my dad and Jacob especially but he hates me. I'm a filthy bloodsucker now and it isn't fair on Jacob to expect him to be my friend like old times sake.

"Love, are you alright?" Edward asked stroking my hair. We were sitting in the living room of the old Forks house, it had been just over three hours since our little encounter with the wolves and my mood hadn't improved at all. Jasper had left two hours ago; he claimed I was giving him an emotional headache.

Edward hadn't left my side since we got home and I didn't think he had any plans to. Normally this wouldn't bother me, it would normally please me greatly but today all I wanted to do was be alone.

"I'm going to go for a run." I stated bluntly.

"I'll come to." Edward said smiling softly.

"No." I instantly felt guilty. "I mean I'll be fine... I just want a little time to myself. You stay here and relax." He smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes, they remained looking hurt and distant.

I put my shoes on and left the house... I just needed time alone, just me and little old Forks.

The forest was exactly as I remembered, it even smelled the same. Everything about this place screamed home at me but I knew that I would not stay even if I could, I would follow Edward to the ends of the earth as wherever he is was home.

I hadn't been paying attention to where I was running and I was startled when I began to make out an old familiar house in the distance. Charlie was here, I was so close... but I knew he couldn't see me. He would have a heart attack if he saw his long lost daughter! Although I knew that I would have to have a little peek, just to see how he was doing.

I stared through the window to the front room... and there he was sitting on the sofa watching the end of the game, I could hear the commentator and he confirmed that Charlie's team had won. I could hear someone in the kitchen clattering about but I wasn't sure who they were.

With the game finished Charlie rose from his seat and stood in the middle of the floor, I noticed that his eyes seemed to zone in on a photo... a photo of me, I remembered it being taken; the camera had been a present for my 18th birthday. My dad stumbled over to it and reached out taking the frame lightly in his hands as though he was afraid to break it.

"I love you Bells." I heard him whisper to the photo, my eyes pricked with tears that would never fall.

"I love you to dad." I murmured back sadly, I wished so much that I could still be a part of his life.

"Charlie dinners ready." I heard a female voice call from the kitchen. I saw his head turn and he had a slight smile on his face as though this woman made him happy... well at least he wasn't starving.

He had his back to the window when the woman entered; she looked to be about the same age as him and had dark hair. I knew I had seen this woman before but I couldn't place the foggy human memory.

"Thanks Sue." Charlie said kissing her on the cheek; she hugged him when she saw the photo he was holding and looking out of the window she stared directly at me almost causing my dead heart to restart again. Had she saw me?

"What's wrong?" Charlie asked her, she had frozen in shock.

She had seen me.

She shook her head and told him in a teasing tone to eat his dinner up. He headed to the kitchen while I heard her head to the front door. I ran towards the cover of the trees afraid she would see me, who was she?

I hid behind a tree, I wasn't ready to leave quite yet and I was curious about this woman. I heard the door open and her footsteps as she stepped outside and closed the door behind her.

"Isabella, Bella Swan... I know you can hear me and I know what you are. Come out I want to speak to you." Sue said quietly, what how could she know?

Well there was only one way to find out. I took a deep breath and stepped out from my hiding place.

"Who are you?" I asked quietly not exactly sure if she heard me.

"Sue Clearwater I'm a tribe elder from La Push." She introduced herself.

"Oh..." I didn't know what to say she most likely hated me.

"Don't worry Bella, your secrets save with me, I won't tell them you've been here. I can't imagine they would be happy if they found out you were visiting your dad." No she was right the way the wolves treated the Cullen's wasn't exactly welcoming I doubted that they would be thrilled if they found out I was here watching Charlie.

"I can't say that I'm thrilled but I know he was important to you but please don't let him see you I don't think he would cope... he isn't that much younger than Harry." She mumbled the last bit quietly.

Harry Clearwater was Charlie's friend Sue must be his wife- but then what was she doing here cooking for my dad? Then her words sunk in and I realised that Harry wasn't here anymore, he had passed on.

"I won't. I only wanted to see how he was. I know he can never see me again... it's for his own good." She nodded and looked back at the house obviously thinking how long dinner could occupy Charlie before he got suspicious.

"I should go back inside, he'll be wondering where I've gotten to." Sue said quietly turning to leave.

"Sue." I shouted after her, although not loud enough for Charlie to hear.

She turned and gave me a questioning look. "Look after him please." I said sadly, she nodded and went back inside; I fought hard to hold back the sobs as I turned and ran through the forest.
