Hey guys, thank you so much for being patient with me!! I'm finally going to update and TRY to make this chapter longer... I was stupid enough however to write different bits of the story in different notebooks and have officially lost the one that had this chapter in it. So I'll be writing from scratch. Oh well. I would also like to take the time to mention two really awesome people who have helped (not that everyone else hasn't, cuz you all have) LuthienFlicker and Newttwilight15, you guys have been totally awesome, and have given me a real view into the readers mind. Also, thank you to everyone who reviewed, I got like 15 reviews!! That was way, way more than I was expecting. Hope that you guys enjoy this chapter.

I rang the doorbell of Jacob's house. I tapped, my foot impatiently as I waited. I didn't have all day, there were more important people in my life to spend my time with.

I was just about ready to pound on the door, as I was sure my father had done when a voice spoke from inside. "Come in,"

I groaned, the voice seemed to be Billy's. The last thing I wanted was for him to be here while I yelled at Jacob. I stepped into the light of the lamp in the minuscule living room. Billy and Jacob sat laughing. How dare they laugh when just hours before he had almost killed my father? I glared down at Jacob. His smile faded.

"Dad," he stuttered. "Maybe you should wait outside, or go see Sue."

"Sure son, if you think that's prudent." He looked back and forth from me to Jacob.

"Yes, that would very prudent." I said coldly, staring him down. He quickly stepped out of the room as I spoke. Jacob stood up and towered over me. The height thing was not going to bother me this time. "How could you do this to my father?" I shrieked.

"It was coming to him." Jacob yelled back. The words reminded me so much of his stupid pack, he sounded exactly like Paul, or Embry.

My inner anger practically overflowed. "It was coming to him? It was coming to him? What are you? A monster?" He flinched at my harsh words. "Charlie might die. Is that what you wanted?"

He looked at me with an awestruck expression. "Die? I gave him a couple of scratches."

"A couple of scratches? Unlike Emily, these are all over his face." I laughed bitterly. I slapped him across the face, all my anger and frustration from the past weeks coming out. Jacob was trembling feiercely as I yelled at him. "Oh, so now you'll rip my face to shreds too because you can't keep in control?" I smirked. "Maybe Edward was right? Werewolves are just nasty, vile creatures that only live to hurt others."

"Bella don't make me.." he growled ferociously.

"That's not for me to control." I said airily. The anger inside me was kindling the fire. I didn't care about the boundaries. "Go ahead, bite me." I urged. "That way I can give Edward a real reason to kill you." I turned away and headed for the door.

"Bella, I love you." He whispered as I stalked away. My head shot around, to look one last time at Jacob.

"I don't care." I muttered angrily. Tears streamed down his face and I ran to the car.

I hadn't been able to control my feelings, I realized as I sat down in the driver's seat. I had said more than I wanted to say. But I was happy, he would be out of my life for good. What had happened to me? Why had I put my life in danger? Was I that stupid? But most importantly why had I been so happy to break his heart? But now we were even. He had broken my heart and I had broken his.

My car grumbled to life as I put it in drive. I glanced once again at La Push and sped over the border dividing the territory of the Vampires and that of the Werewolves. .My car was going as fast as possible, a little over 50mph. I really needed Edward to get me a new car, I didn't want any reminders of my past life. I was finally ready to move on and all the fears from the past few weeks evaporated. I turned on the almost hidden bend of the Cullen Mansion. I skipped into the house, surprised that no one had come to greet me. I set down my set of house keys on the ledge by the door and followed the noise coming from the living room. They were all watching the Forks evening news on the plasma tv.

"Hey everyone." I plopped myself down next to Edward. Edward's eyes drifted from the tv to me.

"Hey honey." He kissed my neck gingerly. A slight blush reached my cheeks.

I heard murmurs of, "Hey Bella." Coming from the rest of the family.

My eyes flashed to the screen. Anchorwomen Tracy Petiers was speaking. A picture of Charlie was on the screen next to her head. "We hate to inform the public, however Charlie Swan, Chief of the Forks Police Department is in critical condition after being mauled by a bear while salmon hunting with close friend Billy Black. However, Dr. Snow quote: " It seemed more like he was scratched like a huge wolf rather than a bear. You can see it in the shape of the scratches." End quote. Carlisle Cullen, the Dr. actually taking care of Chief Swan was not open for comment. Also, the well-known daughter of Chief Swan could not be found in time for this edition of the evening news. A source told us that Bella was seen at the hospital with 1 year boyfriend, Edward Cullen, son of Carlisle Cullen a few hours before we arrived. The source also stated that they were removed from the room on account of an argument between the Chief and his daughter. We will keep the public posted when more information is obtained. Now to the weather with Bill Laskew."

Someone had clicked the tv off. The silence in the room was frighnening. Everyone was in thought. "Who leaked?" I finally asked in a quiet voice.

"The nurse," Edward answered. "She was bribed."

I stayed staring at the empty television screen. "Edward can we go up to your room?" I asked. Whithout an answer he scooped me up and made his way towards the staircase. "I'll walk." He put me down gently and I stood up. I climbed the stairs slowly, even for a human. My mind was in a million places at once. I forgot the last step and went tumbling for the ground. A millisecond before I hit the ground Edward grabbed me around the waist. "Thanks." I murmured.

"Sure, Bella, anytime." He smiled my favorite crooked smile. I lay down on his bed as he searched for a cd. "Loud or Soft?" he asked me. Did I really want to be able to think?

"Loud." I responded. I heard Linkin Park blast out of the speakers. My head rested on his stony chest as we listened to the lyrics.

"For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done!!!"

The lyrics made so much sense, as if it had been written for the story of my life. "Our lives are so complicated." I sighed. "It seems like something is always happening." Edward's eyes seemed tortured by this. "Edward, I didn't mean it that way." I leaned over and kissed him, now I was suddenly on top of him. He had placed me there and I hadn't even noticed. "I could never live without you." I panted as we broke away.

"And I not you." Edward agreed.

Rosalie came into the room, obviously without knocking. I turned scarlet and pulled myself off Edward. "Do you two lovebirds want to come down and play monopoly? Emmet's in his game stage again." She laughed and sighed. "Boys."

"Have you ever heard of knocking?" Edward growled.

"Dear brother, like you've never walk in on Emmet and I, and we are always doing more intimate things."

"That was once." He muttered. I shifted and stood up. I flattened my hair and straightened it out.

"Lets go play Edward." I pulled his hand.

He smiled, "Now here's a human memory you can't miss." I rolled my eyes.

Hey guys, what did you think? Not all that much went on towards the end, but I hope you liked it. I was close to leaving a cliffy but I didn't because I didn't update yesterday. Please review and tell me what you thought. I know Bella seemed harsh, but that's the way it had to be. She wasn't thinking very well….RR next chapter will be out soon.
