I've been ill for the past week with a bad case of flu so sorry that I haven't updated!Thank you for the story and author alerts and the reviews I've gotten!

This chapter took some time to write to get the exact effect.

BPOV

I froze mid-step and turned to face Edward his words still echoing loudly. People had begun to stare at us been so still and silent.

I turned to look at the Cullen's. They all turned to look at me. Alice had a smug grin on her face, almost the same as Phoebe while the others looked just as surprised as I did. All except for one. Izzy. She had the face of thunder as she just glared at me, looking between me and Edward. Yet somehow only glaring at me then pulling her eyes back to normal when she stared at Edward.

Everyone stared at me waiting for me to say something….. Anything …..

"What?" I whispered. …except that!… I slapped my head internally. I don't want to hear it again, I understood perfectly what he had said in fact it was still ringing in my ears.

I coughed, I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to say. I glanced at Alice and Phoebe for support but the both looked far into the distance, having visions. I stood there staring at them but I couldn't bring myself to look at Edward, not yet.

I glanced back at Alice and Phoebe they both looked nervous and worried as I started to bite my bottom lip.

"H-h-how could you s-say that?" I whispered knowing he could hear me.

"After everything, everything you've done to me. You've been back in my life for not even a week and you say that!" I found my voice volume sliding gradually upwards till I was shouting. "How could you!" I didn't know what else to say and I really didn't want to stick around to see what everyone else would say. I glanced quickly at Alice and Phoebe who were close to tears that would never fall. What? I thought to myself. I turned back to glance at the one person I couldn't stand to be within ten miles with right now. He brought his head up from the ground, sadness, regret, guilt all poured out of his eyes.

I couldn't handle all this right now.

I looked towards the rest of the Cullen's, Jasper cringing into himself, I'd have to apologise to him when I get a chance, I know how tense it would be right now. Then Emmett, I gave a soft smile and he smiled back, not a bear smile but a shy smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. Oh how much I've missed my family. I looked down at the ground as I felt tears well up in my eyes when I looked up Emmett stood there his arms outstretched as he took a few steps towards me. I closed the space and wrapped my arms around him. My Big Brother.

I'm not sure just how long I was sat there dry sobbing into Emmett's arms but when I felt steady enough I stood up, him supporting my arm.

"Thanks Emmett." I blinked a couple of times before I grasped I was at the Cullen's house, in a strange room I'd never seen before.

Emmett chuckled when he saw my confusion on my face.

"The teachers didn't know what to do, neither did the nurse so we said we'd bring you home. The others are downstairs."

"Thanks Again."

"It's alright, that's what big brothers do. And of course pummel the guy who broke your heart in the first place and I cant do that for obvious reasons plus you probably wouldn't be very happy with the outcome because believe me I've tried." Emmett stared off into space, probably remembering trying to beat Ed-him up - well I certainly wouldn't object now.

"It's all right Emmett, you're his brother as well." I sighed, I wished I had been born or turned and was in the Cullen's instead of trying to work my way in when even I know that will be impossible, seeing my current situation.

"What am I going to do?" I whispered out loud.

"Your going to clean yourself up, get changed, Jacob called and he is picking you up in a bit and then you'll come home and then we'll talk." Trust Emmett to have it all organised for me.

"Sounds like a plan." I smiled, looking up at him. For a moment I could imagine his gold eyes and face moulded to be Ed-his. It made me jump.

"What's wrong?"

I blinked hard once and opened my eyes again and there was My big brother Emmy bear.

"Nothing. Just thinking. I'm going to get a shower." I went to get up but he tugged my hand just a little so I turned around.

"He said he's really sorry for upsetting you earlier."

"Ugh." I muttered. Just like him to get his brother to 'mention' something about him.

"Bella, we all really miss you, just remember that." And he released my hand.

I let the water drain over my cool skin, it felt good to relax a little bit.

I walked into the room I awoke in to find some clothes laid neatly on my own little sofa courtesy of Alice and Phoebe no doubt.

I slipped the little blue and white summer dress over my head and smoothed it out then I slipped on a little pair of light blue shorts just in case the wind decided to blow and then slipped on a pair of blue flats that personally I loved. I sat down put a few curls in my hair and grabbed the light blue over shoulder bag and pulled that round me then finally slapped on a bit of lip gloss, bronzers and foundation and I was all good to go.

I checked the mirror and I looked good to say so myself.

I headed down the stairs tightly gripping the banister.

"Alice, Phoebe?" I called down the stairs.

"Yeah, were right in here." they called from the living room.

"Where were you, what happened to Bella Barbie Dress Up? Doing my hair? Makeup?" I was upset that they didn't even bother coming up. Either of them.

"We thought you wanted some space after earlier…" Alice trailed off. She had a good point.

"Oh. Well whoever picked out these clothes are a genius - I love them." I sighed playing with my dress.

"I'm glad you like it, you should like this as well then." Phoebe scooped up a little blue cardigan from the sofa and slipped it over my shoulders.

"There look, Beautiful." The both sighed together. I was about to sit down but a loud car horn beeped from the bottom of the drive.

"Jake's here!" I squealed.

I pulled open the door as Jake got out and ran to the door with an umbrella as it had started to drizzle out.

"Jake!"

"Bella!" We hugged for five minutes.

"I've got an umbrella, so you don't have to worry about ruining your hair." I looked into his eyes and there was something new there, something special. I blew it off we were just happy to see each other.

"Okay see you guys later, I've got my phone on me so text me if there's an issue."

I hooked onto Jake's arm as he put the umbrella up and we ran to the car where he safely opened my door to let me in then got him self in the drivers side.

"So your living with Cullen?" His words had a different meaning, not like I'm living with the Cullen's but he thought I was living with him.

"Not exactly like that Jake." I sighed as I turned to look out the window.

"Who picked up the phone earlier. He said you were busy or something."

"Probably Emmett. He was helping me with ….. Stuff." I ended, I didn't want to tell Jake the whole story, not yet.

"Right, well Paul's sister will be here by four and we'll probably arrive at the camp fire for then anyways."

"Paul's sister? Have you ever met her before?" I never heard Paul had a sister, I just thought it was him.

"He doesn't like talking about her because she's a blood- I mean a vampire, she got turned not so long ago but he got told she was dead until she contacted him one day and BAM now he has a sister."

"Right." I murmured, the story sounded familiar but I didn't know where from.

We pulled up at the camp fire and greeted everyone waiting for Paul's sister, then I saw a very familiar car pull up and a tiny pixie dressed in jeans and her favourite snorg tee get out and run to us.

"Phoebe, what are you doing here?!" I asked, I was sure he had put her up to this probably.

"I'm here to see my Brother." She giggled walking over to Paul.

"Paul's your brother?" I nearly fainted, how could she not tell me.

"I didn't know you knew any werewolves. So I didn't bother telling you since all vampires and werewolves are meant to be rivals."

"Yeah you got that right." Jake wrapped his arm round my waist as I nudged him hard in the ribs.

Later when we all had told our stories and caught up with each other, we all split up into different conversations.

"So Have you imprinted on anyone yet?" He must have found someone by now.

"Yeah. Yeah I have." He smiled at me as he said it.

"Well are you going to tell me who the lucky girl is and when am I going to meet her." I was glad that he had found someone to share his life with now.

"Well she's not only my imprint, she's my best friend and the thing is she doesn't exactly know it yet." He flashed me another smile, who could it possibly be.

"Well when are you gonna tell her?"

"Right now." Before I could move Jakes lips pressed down on mine in a soft warm way, not like his in any way possible. I was going to pull away but it felt good and I haven't felt this feeling in so long, I was lapping it up in joy. Even if there was no spark there I had to let him have this.

"Are you been serious?" I asked surprised.

"Defiantly." He smiled back at me.

"Jake, I'm happy and everything that it's me but I can't be having any other relationships, not now, not yet, its just too early for me to be involved with anyone else yet. But we can still be best friends yeah?" He smile dropped and then slowly rose as I said Yet.

"Yeah, I guess we could." He held my hand tightly as he gazed into the fire.

The night ended all too quickly after that. Jake offered me a ride home but I had to decline as Phoebe was going to the same place so she had asked me first.

We parted and I told Jake I'd call him sometime this week so we could meet up again.

As we sat in the car Phoebe looked across at me.

"You and Jake are --- close aren't you?" I could see where she was getting at, everyone asked us that.

"Yeah, you could say that, he's the one who helped me through rough times and he's been there since I was a human little girl so of course were close." I explained.

"Do you know what Imprint means?" I couldn't believe she had just asked me that.

"Yeah of course I do and I also know Jake's imprinted on me, but its alright we've sorted it out." Phoebe shook her head.

"It's all gonna be ok, calm down and don't tell anyone please." I asked Phoebe, she nodded her head as I got a text ;

Miss you already

Jake
