Bella's POV

I ran to Rose and threw myself into her arms, kissing her with abandon. I was so happy to see her after her talk with Edward, the expression on his face when I left them had me worried for her. I wrapped my legs around her waist and my arms around her neck, knotting my fingers through her hair. I pressed my lips tightly against hers and slid my tongue in her mouth.

An awkward cough shocked me out of it and I turned to see both Emmett and Edward. "Sorry." I mumbled, climbing off Rose.

"Were you worried about me?" My girlfriend asked with a smirk. I blushed as my eyes fell to the ground.

"Bella I would never hurt my sister." Edward assured me, not nearly as angry as he was before. What did Rose say to him? "No matter how angry I may be," my ex continued, "I made a promise to never hurt her and I have no intention to break that promise."

"You promised not to leave me again." WHY DID I SAY THAT?!

"You promised to love me forever." He reminded me, some of his anger having returned.

I looked at the ground again in shame.

"Shit happens." Rose announced, wrapping her arm around me. "And we're all okay," she continued, holding me tight and looking to the boys. "Not great, but okay."

"Well the sex is pretty amazing." Emmett announced, causing me to blush and earning him a glare from Edward.

"What about amazing sex?" Jacob asked re-entering the conversation.

"Nothing!" Edward insisted, still glaring at Emmett.

"Anyway" Jacob said, slowly drawing out the word. "You have 843 missed calls." He informed Edward, handing him back his phone.

"They're from me." I announced. I looked my ex in the eye. "I was worried about you." I told him.

Edward looked uncomfortable. "Well I'm not your problem any more." He stated bluntly. Before I could respond he was addressing Jacob. "So how are things with Matt?" He asked Jake.

Jacob looked shyly at the ground. "Well I might sort of, have a boyfriend." He mumbled quietly.

"Good for you." Emmett announced and Edward hugged him encouragingly.

"Well not yet." Jacob clarified. "We still need to talk things over."

"You should go see if anything will come of it." Edward instructed, releasing him. I was surprised the boys were so close. "After all this shit it's about time something good came your way." He said, clasping Jacob's shoulder.

"Well Bella and I are heading back to forks." Rose announced. "As long as you don't mind seeing us make out we can give you a lift." My girlfriend surprisingly offered my childhood friend.

"I'm cool with that." He announced, grinning at us both.

I felt myself blushing again. "Jesus Christ kid, I thought you were gay." Rose rolled her eyes, already regretting her offer.

Jacob shrugged. "Just because guys are sexy doesn't mean girls aren't." He announced.

Rosalie groaned. "Oh god, he's like a young Emmett." She complained.

Emmett laughed loudly before cracking some joke about Jake being his prodigy.

"Or maybe it's just Bella that causes people to experiment." Jacob suggested jokingly and everyone went quiet. "I mean because Emmett's the only person here she hasn't done anything with and he's the one who has experience with guys." Jacob explained his very bad joke.

Emmett was the first to speak. "Actually she sucked both me and Edward off the day we left." He admitted while I buried my face in Rose's shoulder. "And I'd never had a chance to be with a guy before that.

"I'd never really been into girls before we hooked up." My girlfriend admitted, seemingly lost in thought.

"I refuse to comment on my past experiences." Edward insisted.

"Dude," Jacob looked at him. "Everyone knows Emmett was your first and you were mine." Now that caught me off guard.

"So really everyone I have..." I paused, searching for the right word. "Done anything with then suddenly started sleeping with someone of the same gender." I clarified and no one spoke as we realised this was true. "Do I just turn people gay or something?" I asked in confusion and annoyance which resulted in some chuckles from the people around me.

"You know you could have just specified everyone you kissed." Jacob said and I didn't meet his eyes. "Wait, so you sucked him off but you never kissed him? He asked, gesturing to Emmett.

"I only did it because he tasted like Rose." I mumbled, going beet red.

"Okay, I think that's our cue to leave." Rose announced and headed to her car. "Coming mu- Coming kid?" She asked, thankfully not calling Jacob a mutt. I suspected she was being nice to him for my benefit.

The boys said their goodbyes and we went our separate ways. I felt better about things now, we didn't part of horrible terms with Emmett and Edward, and Jacob seems to be doing well for himself.

Rose is right, things aren't all bad.

Authors Note: Not sure I'm entirely happy with this.
