***I CRAVE REVIEWS PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!***

Chapter 29 - Bella's POV

I can't actually remember when the last time was that I turned on my cell phone. It had been a recent gift from Edward. He had insisted that I had it because he missed me so much when he was away hunting. I only ever turned it on when I was expecting a call from him or Charlie. It had been sitting in the back pocket of my jeans since we had arrived in Italy. I actually only noticed it now because I had been getting things ready to do laundry. Flipping open the phone I pressed the power button expecting possibly a voicemail from Charlie.

You have 36 voice mail messaged the screen flashed at me. What the? Jasper walked into the room just as my phone rang. I did the most embarrassing girly thing ever dropping it like a spider had crawled on my hand and shrieked. "Bella?" taking a deep breath I said "it's fine Jasper, I wasn't expecting it to ring."

I tentatively picked up the phone and opened it on the third ring. "Hello?"

"Bella, thank god where the Hell are you??"

"Jacob?"

"Bella are you okay?"

I shook my head not that Jake could see that over the phone "Yeah fine Jake."

"Bella, where are you?"

"Ummm…" Ah crap what was I going to tell him? He would freak if he knew where I was. Why on gods earth did I feel the need to turn my cell phone on?

"Bella I know your not camping."

"Jake… it's….it's ummm complicated."

"Bella it's not a trick question Quil saw the wife, Blondie and the big one speeding though town. Without you, where the hell are you?"

Oh crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!!! I guess I had paused enough for Jacob to continue. "I've been to the house it reeks of strange vampires and there is only one car missing. Bella Tell me where you are."

I bit my lip and mumbled into the phone "Italy."

"YOUR WHERE??"

"I'm in Italy."

I heard Jacob take a few deep breaths "We're coming to get you."

"Jacob that's insane, it's suicide. I'm fine Jasper is protecting me Alice and Edward will be back any time and I have their word they won't hurt me. You can't do anything here."

"Bella your surrounded by bloodsuck…"I cut him off. "Yes large powerful ones with many spooky vampire powers that will fry the fur off your little wolfie ass if you get anywhere near here. Jacob please…. Trust me."

I could hear Jacob pacing the wood floors of Billy's house. The floors creaked with Jake's weight, I had noticed it last time I had been to the house.

"Jake please…. I don't want you getting hurt. The vampire 'mafia' made a vow that they wouldn't touch me and I've been here four days and not a scratch."

I could hear Jacob breathing into the phone trying to calm himself down probably. "Bella, I don't like it. Your in danger. Just do it for me, tell me to come and get you."

I could feel the distress in his voice. "Jacob…. I can't…. I don't want you here" I lied, I did want him here I wanted him here to make me feel safe when Edward wasn't here I wanted him to hug me and tell me everything would be okay but I couldn't let him. "And besides Jake a plane ticket to Italy isn't exactly cheep." I tried to lighten the mood of our conversation

"Bella I'm calling you every hour to make sure your okay"

"Jake please, every hour I have to sleep, eat, do other things I can't be running for the phone constantly. Once a day should be sufficient."

"Alright five times a day, I don't want that vamp of yours slacking."

"Twice a day at the most Jake…. Or I'll turn off my phone."

"Three times a day Bella, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and If you don't answer I will come to get you."

I conceded to him three calls a day would hardly kill me and it would keep Jacob from getting himself into trouble. "Alright, but I have to go, I have to find a charger for my phone. I'll text you another number you can reach me at just in case."

"Bella…. Don't trust them. I want you home safe and sound."

"I'll talk to you in a few hours Jake, be safe."

"Sure, sure… you too."

I clicked the phone shut and Jasper gave me a quizzical look. "The wolves know we are gone, Jacob wanted to come rescue me I think I convinced him not to." Jasper nodded and went back to reading his book. He was a man of few words but I think he trusted my judgement, mostly.
