Bella's POV-

It's been days since Lizzy went into her coma. I haven't left her side since...

After she had some sort of dream I refused to take my eyes off of her. It was terrible to see her in so much pain and not being able to help her...

Paul was sent to search for Jacob again, since he went out yesterday and didn't return. I hope he's ok... well, at least alive. I'm still up set with him...

Edward had to go back home because Sam wasn't having it. Some how everything is falling apart because of me, but Lizzy must think it all her fault... Which is still my fault...

Jake's POV-

I sat along the a cliff, watching the waves crash down the side. All my senses were messed up and all I could think of was Lizzy being in pain.

She seemed to be hurting but the doctor said she was physically fine. So it must be a mental pain. I can't believe how foolish I've been!

Bella probably hates me with a burning passion and I have no idea how Lizzy will respond to me anymore.

My plan to apologise is getting worse by the second not to mention Paul and Sam harassing me...

I'm in so deep trouble I don't know what else to do! I would go visit her but my time limit was up yesterday, and I don't think Bella would let me back in.

"Hey, I thought you'd be here." Paul climed the last stones. "You always run off when you face a probpem."

"So, I need time to think..." I mumble. "Are you here to give me a lecture?"

"No..."

I start at him and he rolls his eyes.

"Really, I just wanted to see if you were ok. It must be hard for you. So I wanted to be there to help you get through it." He smiled but I knew that wasn't the only reason he'd want to find me.

"What else..."

"Nothing else. Everyone decided to forget the blame and move forward. We only want Lizzy to get better. Then we'll sort through everything else. Isn't that the best way?" He shrugged.

"I guess. But I ruined any chance I had with her... how will I get her to like me after what happened?"

"Well, Sam and Emily had the same experience and they're together now."

"Yeah, but they didn't have a angry Bella or Edward."

"They had Leah."

"But she doesn't have a vampire on her side. Think about it. What every upsets Lizzy will upset Bella. And what ever upsets Bella, upsets Edward. And if the Vamps are on bad terms with us, the treaty is at risk. Which messes up everything! I can't take back what happened and Lizzy probably hates me and I defenetly know Bella hates me. And!"

"Calm down! You're thinking to much." Paul whacked my head. "Stop jumping to conclusions. Wait till Lizzy wakes up to fix your relationship. For now focus on making it up to Bella. She can't stay mad forever. You know that."

"But..." I sigh in defeat. "You're right."

"I know I am." Paul grinned childishly.

"But now I have a bigger problem..." I stared at the horizon.

"Aw, come on. Don't go there." Paul groand. He looked at me weirdly. "What now?"

"Lizzy... she's how old?" I rubbed my head.

"Uh, she's turning ten in a week or so." He counted on his fingers. "Age isn't a problem, just be like a big brother until she gets older. Then try something else."

"But I've imagined so much that I'd be with Bella. I don't know how to appeal to a child."

"Do you think I have more experience?"

"No, but she seems to like you more. Why is that? You never told me about your meeting."

"You really want to know?"

"It's only fair."

"I saved her from the redhead vamp. She was running and accidentaly crossed the border. Push comes to shove and now we're here." Paul leaned back on his palms.

"You saved her life..." I held my head in my hands. Now there was no hope... she'd deffently pick Paul over me... he's the hero, I'm just the big bad wolf...

A hand collided with my head, "I know what your thinking. Just stop. I'm still looking for my mate, she's all yours." He paused, "Why don't you just be yourself. The funny, caring friend I've known. I bet she'd respond better to that. Take her on a walk or go to a park. Be fun and yourself. Things will work out." Paul wispered.

"Thanks I needed that..."

"No problem... oh and I wanted to say Edward wants you to meet up with him."

"Why!?" My eyes widden.

"No clue Sam got a call and told me to tell you to go meet with the guy. Not here of course. Near the border or somewhere." He stood up. "Now that you're felling better, good luck!" He ran off before I could say another word.

I guess I have no choice. I stood up and begain to walk to the border. I did feel a lot better but now, I feel like I'm walking into a shark tank.

After awhile if slow, very slow, walking I reached a clearing. I'm the center stood a surprisingly calm Edward.

I knew he saw me but I decided to be polite.

"Hello Edward. You needed to speak with me?" I tried to keep a calm voice. Even though my face was probably flushed of any or all color.

"Yes." He looked serious.

"Alice had a vision..."
