sorry It took a while, but I had to rewrite Freed at last and then My mom was sick so I had to take care of her ( make chicken soup and get medicine) that sort of thing. It's nice to be writing again, It gives me peace.

Don't worry Bella will phase around the time jacob phases, which will be in a couple of chapters after the fight with James. I kinda decided to go by the book but create my own versions of it.

please be patient, Bella will phase soon. Don't you worry. She will not be a shapeshifter like Jacob, she's different, she's stronger. And she is not part quileute like most stories are.

Here is chapter 20:

The weekends are always a hassle, these are the times I have to endure my brother's annoyance. I was sitting at the table, all dressed and ready to meet Jake in about an hour. We all ate our breakfast in silence - even though it was too late for breakfast since it was twelve past all ready. Gabe was exciting as well as Joey and Aaron was giving me one of his speculative looks. I looked away not meeting his eyes.

He is the only one out of us who has freakishly light green-grey eyes while the rest of us have the same Warm milk chocolate brown eyes, that we got from Grandma Swan. I had no Idea where he got his eyes from, Mom has Icy blue eyes as well as gran and pops has a sort of steel grey color to his teal blue eyes. when we were little we used to make him cry by saying he was found on the streets and that he was the child of a hobo. Which now looking back is very cruel.

" where you of to Sis? " Aaron asked breaking the silence. they all turned to stare up at me, giving me speculative looks. I gulped down my piece of toast. I hated being the center of attention.

" oh, i'm going to jacob's house " I mumbled. looking down at my remaining slices.

" I would like to la push jacob off a cliff " Mumbled Aaron, he knew I heard it so He smirked.

" I'm sorry what was that " I asked politely.

" oh nothing Iz " He smiled politely back while stuffing his face with more of his cereal.

I embraced the silence for a few minutes, silently humming to my self before Aaron spoke up again.

" so sis can I come with you, I would love ride a bike with you and jakey poo " he made kissy faces when he said ' jakey poo '. All the boys broke up in laughter, I just sat there glaring.

" No you can't come, And I don't call him jakey poo ... wait how'd you know about the bikes thing " I asked glaring at him.

" oh Gabe told me, so can I come "

" No. "

" please? " he pleaded, trying the best to muster his version off puppy eyes - which was in fact cross eyes.

" No! " I screamed even louder.

" pleeeease " He begged, dragging out the word.

" okay " I sighed.

" really? " He asked surprised, his scruffy eyebrows shot up. I had to stifle my laugh.

" NO! " I screamed louder, this silenced him but only for a few moments.

" fine, but charlie not going to like it " he sang in a sing song voice.

" Dad's not going to like what? " I asked curious.

" Charlie is not going to like his little angel on a bike, you know how he hates motorcycles and...motorcyclists " He smirked. I'm sure no one will mind if I bury him alive in the backyard. Gabe smirked slightly. Glad I made someone laugh.

" you won't tell him would you " I pouted.

" who says I wouldn't " He replied his mouth full of cereal.

" fine you can come...but stay out of our way then I'll let you ride the bike. deal? " I asked.

" deal " he replied.

" fine then, now go get dressed. " I ushered him out of the room and then proceeded to wash our plates and bowls.

I just wanted to spend my time with jacob alone, and the thought off Aaron tagging alone will just have it ruined. He will most definitely say something embarrassing like ' jakey poo ' in front of him. Maybe I could tie him to a pole, but i'm sure people will give me weird looks.

I knew I was developing strong emotional feelings for jacob but I just don't know how he feels about me. But I can't just bring kind sweet jacob into my world. A world that was filled with vampires and brothers that turn into fire breathing wolves and me, a soon to become a fire breathing, vampire eating wolf.

I couldn't just do that too him, I couldn't live in a world in where i'm a monster and he has to fear me. What should I do when I phase, Should I stop seeing him when I phase, Or should I follow my selfishness and see him when I eventually phase. I know I shouldn't have such strong feelings for him yet because pretty soon I will be a wolf and then what?

I was interrupted by my train off thoughts by Aaron's annoying nasal voice.

" Honey, come here for a second. " He asked, his voice was coming from down the hall.

" coming " I trudged down to the hall passing the den and kitchen.

" so what'd ya think " He asked spinning around so I could see his full outfit.

Aaron was wearing tight black leather pants, Combat belt, A black tank top with a scull and a cross on it and Sculpted biker boots with metal chains on it. He was even wearing black eyeliner. His Afro carpet hair, was all greasy from the hair gel and sort of shaped into a quiff. Holy Crow!

" What...What? What? What? What? " I couldn't think of anything to say.

" Maybe you should sit down, I guess my hotness has affected you huh sis? " He asked whilst pushing me towards the den a onto the couch.

" uh ha, Gabe? " I shouted . He should probably deal with this.

Gabe came in still wearing his striped blue boxers and white shirt. His hair was wet but you can still see the slight curls. When he entered the room he boomed with laughter and he got out his phone and snapped photos. Joey must still be in the shower, otherwise he would be doing the same thing.

" Gabe tell him to change " I Commanded.

" No can do sis, this is Gold. Wait till the guys back home see this " He laughed as he left the room.

" change for me, please" I begged

" nope, and your not mom. You can't tell me what to do " He argued, whilst glaring. I guess the Eye liner does go well with those eyes.

" fine, just get in the car " I pushed him out the door and made my way to the coat closet. I grabbed my green parka, that mostly resembled moss and headed out the door. Joey won't be going anywhere any time soon, so I'd just borrow his car.

As always Aaron was ten minutes late. He finally showed up, nothing changed however he seemed to have put more amounts of eye liner, he was also carrying a chocolate muffin.

" You're late, I've waited for ten minutes " I sighed will climbing in the Car.

" Or is it possible that everyone else on Earth is early? " He argued.

" what?...that doesn't even make sense " I argued back.

We were silent for most of the ride. I continued to drive slowly down the overgrown lane, twisting through the trees that arched over me like a green, living tunnel. The thick, almost jungle-like growth crawled slowly past my windows. The drive wound on and on. I started to go faster, getting edgy. How long had I been driving? Shouldn't I have reached Jake's House yet?

I pushed my truck as fast as it would go as I barreled toward my fixated destination.

Jacob was waiting for me. My chest seemed to relax as soon as I saw him, My sun. He was wearing a tight white shirt today, highlighting his new profound muscles. I nearly drooled over his body but I recovered my self in time.

"Hey, Bella," he called.

I smiled in relief. "Hey, Jacob," I waved at Billy, who was looking out the window.

"Let's get to work," Jacob said in a low but eager voice.

" wait, I bought someone here. Please don't laugh " I mumbled the last bit and he nodded solemnly.

" come on out Aaron " I replied and Aaron hopped out and smiled gleefully.

" hey jakey poo missed me " As he walked over to where we were standing.

" Uh...I guess " jacob replied nonchalantly while trying not to laugh.

Jacob led the way around the house to his garage.

"Please let me know when I start getting on your nerves. I don't want to be a pain."

"Okay." He laughed, a throaty sound. "I wouldn't hold your breath for that, though."

When I walked into the garage, I was shocked to see the red bike standing up, looking like a
motorcycle rather than a pile of jagged metal.

"Jake, you're amazing," I breathed.

He laughed again. "I get obsessive when I have a project." He shrugged. "If I had any brains
I'd drag it out a little bit."

"Why?"

He looked down, pausing for so long that I wondered if he hadn't heard my question. Finally, he asked me, "Bella, if I told you that I couldn't fix these bikes, what would you say?"

I didn't answer right away, either, and he glanced up to check my expression.

"I would say... that's too bad, but I'll bet we could figure out something else to do. If we got really desperate, we could even do homework."

Jacob smiled, and his shoulders relaxed. He sat down next to the bike and picked up a wrench. "So you think you'll still come over when I'm done, then?"

"Is that what you meant?" I shook my head. "I guess I am taking advantage of your very under priced mechanical skills. But as long as you let me come over, I'll be here."

"You really like spending time with me?" he asked, marveling.

"Very, very much. And I'll prove Sunday we'll do something non mechanical."

" great it another date " he chuckled.

" another date it is " I laughed.

" Oh God, I think I'm about to gag " Aaron chokes.

" oh forgot you were here " I mumbled and Jacob laughed his throaty laugh, that made me grin even more.

" how could you forget about all this " He pointed to his outfit.

" how could you not " I mumbled.

" alright there is a couple of parts, I need to fix. Is it cool if you wait Aaron " He asked. He obviously wanted some alone time with me, I smiled at that.

" alright that's cool, I'll just go see if billy loves my company " He pretended to flick his hair back and marched out of the garage.

" He's weird " Jacob commented.

" I know, I seriously don't know where he got the weirdness from " I replied. " so do you really need to fix a few parts " I asked.

" only the seats, but I just wanted to talk to you mostly " He mumbled and looked down.

He opened up the passenger door of the Rabbit so I could sit on the seat instead of the ground. While he worked, Jacob chattered happily, needing only the lightest of nudges from me to keep the conversation rolling. He updated me on the progress of his sophomore
year of school, running on about his classes and his two best friends.

"Quil and Embry?" I interrupted. "Those are unusual names."

Jacob chuckled. "Quil's is a hand-me-down, and I think Embry got named after a soap opera star. I can't say anything, though. They fight dirty if you start on their names¬they'll tag team you."

"Good friends." I raised one eyebrow.

"No, they are. Just don't mess with their names."

He paused for a bit and wiped his hand on his hand cloth and came to perch next to me. Our faces were only mere inches apart and I could feel his spicy warm breath on mine. His dark brown eyes were pouring into mine. My breathing hitched and became labored and my heart was pounding faster and faster. Our faces were inching closer and closer.

We stared at each other for a long moment. His hand smoldered against my skin. He released me, lifting his other hand to brush his fingertips along my cheek, trailing them down to my jaw. He pressed his palm against my cheek, so that my face was trapped between his pleasantly Warm hands.

Just then a call echoed in the distance. "Jacob?" someone shouted.

We Jumped, jacob only slightly. He however had a very grim angry look plastered on his face. I was still in utter shock, I was just about to kiss Jacob Black!

"Is that Billy?" I asked.

"No." Jacob ducked his head, and it looked like he was blushing under his brown skin. "Speak of the devil," he mumbled, "and the devil shall appear."

"Jake? Are you out here?" The shouting voice was closer now.

"Yeah!" Jacob shouted back, and sighed.

We waited through the short silence until two tall, dark-skinned boys strolled around the corner into the shed.

One was slender, and almost as tall as Jacob. His black hair was chin-length and parted down the middle, one side tucked behind his left ear while the right side swung free. The shorter boy was more burly. His white T-shirt strained over his well-developed chest, and he seemed gleefully conscious of that fact. His hair was so short it was almost a buzz.

Both boys stopped short when they saw me. The thin boy glanced swiftly back and forth between Jacob and me, while the brawny boy kept his eyes on me, a slow smile spreading across his face.

Me and jacob were still sitting together, our faces still inches apart and our hands tangled together. I blushed and got up and sat back on my seat in the passenger seat of the Rabbit. jacob huffed loudly and stood up, the annoyance and anger still plastered on his face.

"Hey, guys," Jacob greeted them halfheartedly.

"Hey, Jake," the short one said without looking away from me. I had to smile in response, his grin was so impish. When I did, he winked at me. "Hi, there."

"Quil, Embry¬this is my friend, Bella."

Quil and Embry, I still didn't know which was which, exchanged a loaded look.

"Charlie's kid, right?" the brawny boy asked me, holding out his hand.

"That's right," I confirmed, shaking hands with him. His grasp was firm; it looked like he was flexing his bicep.

"I'm Quil Ateara, the fifth" he announced grandly before releasing my hand.

"Nice to meet you, Quil."

"Hey, Bella. I'm Embry, Embry Call¬you probably already figured that out, though." Embry smiled a shy smile and waved with one hand, which he then shoved in the pocket of his jeans.

I nodded. "Nice to meet you, too."

"So what are you guys doing?" Quil asked, still looking at me.

"Bella and I are going to fix up these bikes," He replied Hastily.

" uh ha...sure you were black " Quil replied sarcastically.

" We Were " Jacob replied more agitated now.

Quil nudged Embry's arm and they exchanged grins.

" I saw what I saw " Quil winked over at me and I blushed. Embry rolled his eyes at Quil.

Quil grinned widely at Embry and whispered something I didn't catch. Jacob's hand flashed out to smack the back of Quil's head. "That's it, get out," he muttered.

" were going, we're going. We just stopped by to see your latest girl. We get it if you want some time alone " quil walked over to me. " Now If you wan't a real man, you should stop by my place some time " He flexed his muscles and wiggled his eyebrows, I just had to giggle.

I looked over at Jacob, who looked like he was going to fume when he saw Quil kiss my hand. Jake's hand started shaking slightly and I rushed over there to calm him down, I placed my hand on his arm. It was burning, it must be at least 100 degrees. As soon as I placed my hand on his forearm, he calmed down.

" alright, alright we'll give you two lovebirds some privacy. Come on Embry " And with that Quil towed Embry out the garage door.

He sighed a heavy sigh. Then he reached over his toolbox to a paper grocery sack. He pulled out two cans of soda, cracking one open and handing it to me. He opened the second, and held it up ceremoniously.

"Here's to responsibility," he toasted. "Twice a week."

"And recklessness every day in between," I emphasized.

He grinned and touched his can to mine.

Me and Aaron got home later than we planned. Aaron was pretty much disappointed that he couldn't flaunt his skills and outfit on the bikes. As if he had any skills. Jake promised that the bikes will be done in a few days hopefully. I am quite nervous, but since Aaron is tagging along as well that means jacob and me will be sharing a bike. I have to thank Aaron for that.

Charlie had ordered a pizza rather than wait for me. He wouldn't let me apologize.

"I don't mind," he assured me. "You deserve a break from all the cooking, anyway."

We all ate our slices off pizza's while watching wrestling on TV. The boys started chatting about some sporting thing on TV. I wasn't really paying attention. Aaron was still wearing his leather pants and when questioned he said he had another one somewhere in his room. Who has a pair of leather pants? and I'm sure Aaron can't find anything in that dump he calls his room, I once saw a brown mold move across the floor when I was in his room once, from that day on I never went back.

The next night, Charlie didn't seem the smallest bit surprised to find Jacob and me sprawled across the living room floor with our books scattered around us, so I guessed that he and Billy were talking behind our backs.

"Hey, kids," he said, his eyes straying to the kitchen. The smell of the lasagna I'd spent the afternoon making¬while Jacob watched and occasionally sampled¬wafted down the hall; I was being good, trying to atone for all the pizza.

Jacob stayed for dinner, and took a plate home for Billy. Still no kiss, and not with my dad and brothers in practically every single room in the house. I was greatly annoyed at that.

That night I slept peacefully dreaming about Jake.
