A/N: Hi all, if there's anyone left out there to read this that is. Sorry about the long wait, I've been dealing with a lot of health problems and major writer's block on everything lately. I'm excited about this next chapter though so maybe that will help keep my muse going. Most of this chapter is in Seth's POV with some of Bella at the beginning and end. Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter!

The title song is Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now', which of course I don't own. Neither do I own Twilight, unfortunately.

Hope you all enjoy, please read and review!

Need You Now

Bella's eyes snapped open as a blaring horn outside jerked her from her sleep, leading her to groan as she rolled over and yanked the pillow over her head. "I am never going to get used to this…"

Sighing she reached her hand over the bed and frowned when she only found more blankets. Peeking her head outside the pillow she looked around the room and sighed when she saw it empty, dropping the pillow back over her face as she tried to will herself back to sleep. A beep from her cell phone let her know she had an incoming text and she rolled over to grab it off the nightstand.

'Sorry I left so early, there was an emergency at work. Lunch today?'

She smiled and glanced at the clock before sending her reply.

'Doesn't give me much time to clean up after last night.'

'Yourself or the room?'

'Both actually. We made a huge mess last night.'

'Yeah, but it was fun. ;)'

'Says the person who skipped off on cleaning it up.'

'Just leave it. I'm sure we'll make another tonight. ;)'

':P So says you. I never said I was up for two nights of that.'

'Oh you will be, I'm very persuasive. So, lunch at one then?'

'Fine, I'll be at our usual spot. See you then, love you.'

'Love you too.'

Tossing her phone on the bed she sighed as she stood and stretched, looking around the messy bedroom with a frown. "What was I thinking bringing chocolate and whipped cream in here…"

With a sigh she grabbed her towel and headed towards the shower, knowing that it would take her twice as long as normal to get to the restaurant for lunch.

Seth panted as he stopped at the stream, lapping up the water gratefully as he fought the exhaustion that shook his limbs. He had only slept five hours in the last two days, trying to get to Arizona as fast as possible. He was slightly worried about trying to find Bella in a city as big as Phoenix but decided to deal with that later. Right now he was focusing on not being seen by anyone, and so far he had been successful, but now he had to venture into the nearby town for food. He had done some hunting on the trip but now that he was entering the desert there were fewer deer and other prey was hard to find. Besides, he was dying for a cheeseburger.

Turning from the stream he phased back to human and stretched his aching body before digging in the backpack he'd set aside. He was glad he'd thought to bring it with him, even though it'd been a pain to carry in his mouth all the way here, and he quickly pulled out a pair of cutoffs, t-shirt and sneakers. Pulling them on he threw the backpack over his shoulder and glanced around before darting out of the trees and starting his way across a small field, headed for the town that he could see about a mile away.

As he walked he could feel his cellphone bumping against his leg and he wondered if he should check to see if he had any messages from Bella. He winced at the prospect of hearing his mother or sister or even Sam's voice instead and decided that the fact he was missing a charger was enough of a reason to leave it off until he had found Bella. Besides, he was hoping that bringing her back might distract everyone from the fact that he left in the first place.

As he stepped out of the field and onto the road he glanced behind him to make sure he knew how to get back to the creek. The sound of screeching breaks and a sharp cry from his left jerked him from his thoughts.

"Look out!"

Even his wolf reflexes didn't have enough time to react as a truck slammed into him with enough force to send him flying twenty feet away, hitting the ground with a thud as his head collided with a rock and he sank into blackness.

Seth awoke with a groan, wondering who on earth had used his body and head as a punching bag. Peering through his bleary eyes he quickly realized two things; he was lying on his stomach on a table of some sorts. And he had no clothing on. He could feel a blanket covering his legs and pulled up very low on his hips. He moved to get up and let out a pained groan as his head spun and he sank back on the makeshift bed. Suddenly he felt a soft, warm hand on his shoulder and a soft voice spoke from behind him.

"Take it easy, you aren't quite healed up yet."

His eyes shot open and he struggled to rise, ignoring the pain in his head, and the hand pushed him down on the bed easily. "Hey, calm down, its ok. I'm not going to hurt you."

Seth snorted in disbelief, a small part of his mind wondering how the person, that he knew was a female, could hold him down with a strength that matched his own. Unfortunately his pounding head combined with the girl's strength forced him back down to the table. The hand at his shoulder disappeared and a glass of water with a straw appeared in front of him. "Here, drink."

Reluctantly he sipped some of the cool liquid, letting it trickle down his throat and lowered his head as exhaustion swept over him. "it's okay, sleep and relax. You're safe here."

As his eyes drifted shut he caught a glimpse of red-brown hair and tanned skin, a sweet whiff of honey and lavender infiltrating his senses as he was swallowed into blackness once again.

Seth came to again slowly, wondering how much time had passed. Slowly he lifted his head and he was relieved to find his head no longer tried to explode and he could feel the skin on his back had healed as well. He slowly pushed himself up and glanced around the room he was in, seeing it was some kind of wood-shop. His makeshift bed appeared to be the work table, a thick stack of blankets forming a comfortable mattress. He swung his legs over the side and pushed himself into a sitting position, staring at the tools that hung on the walls, when a husky female voice startled him.

"Well hey there big boy."

He whipped his head around to see a young Native American woman sitting on a tattered love-seat across the room, her dark eyes tinted with mischief as they trailed their way over him, meeting his eyes with a smirk. Seth glanced down and realized with horror that he was still naked and the blanket had fallen down when he sat up, leaving his body exposed to the amused looking female. He grabbed blindly behind him until he found the pillow and snatched it up, throwing it across his lap as he felt the blush burn across his face; sure the woman could see it even with his dark skin. A throaty laugh left her as she stood and flashed a Cheshire cat smile. "Aww, you're shy. I like that in a man."

If possible he felt his burning face grow hotter and he shifted slightly on the bed as his eyes darted around the room. "Uh, do you know what happened to my pants?"

She came uncomfortable close to him, her rosewater scent washing over him, and she smirked as she saw him try to scoot away from her. "I'm afraid that your clothes got shredded in the accident. I do think your backpack is around here somewhere. It'd be a shame to cover up such…masculinity though."

Her hand trailed down his arm and he gulped loudly as he leaned away from her. "No really, I would really like some clothes."

She sighed with a slightly pouting look on her face as she swept her eyes over his body again with a shake of her head. "What a shame."

With that she turned away and sauntered over to a dark corner, lugging his backpack out of it with a grunt. Seth stood carefully, his hips leaning against the work table for support, and he clutched the pillow against his groin as he reached toward her with a nervous grin. "Can I uh, have it now please?"

He amber eyes swept over him again, sighing as she swung the backpack by a strap and raised a brow. "Do I get a name handsome?"

He bit his lip and glanced between her and the bag, wondering if he could snatch it from her while keeping his modesty, then sighed in defeat. "Seth. Seth Clearwater. Now can I please have my clothes?"

Her lips formed a smile as she shook her head slightly and tossed him the bag. "Seth Clearwater. Now I can't corrupt your obvious innocence with a sweet name like Seth now can I?"

He caught the bag easily, making sure to hold the pillow in place with one hand and looked around nervously. "Ah, can I have some privacy please?"

She chuckled and winked before crossing the room to a door and calling over her shoulder. "I'll be in the kitchen, I'm sure you're famished. Hurry and dress as much as you think you need. Less is more and I certainly won't be complaining."

Seth's cheeks burned again and he made sure to wait several moments after the door shut to make sure she wouldn't peek back in at him. When he was sure it was safe he dropped the pillow and quickly opened his backpack and yanked out a pair of cutoffs, pulling them up his legs with a speed he didn't know he possessed. Feeling better and comfortable in his normal attire he relaxed a little and dug through his bag. The remains of the clothes he'd had on when he'd been hit had been placed in there and he dug through the pockets for his wallet, which fortunately hadn't been damaged, and his cellphone. "Aw crap…"

It unfortunately hadn't been as lucky as his wallet; he had probably landed on it when the truck threw him. "Well if I wasn't dead before I am now."

Sighing he tucked it into the bag and grabbed his shoes, that had mostly remained unmarked, and tugged them on. Unfortunately he had only brought one shirt, which was in tatters, so for the moment he was as dressed as he was going to get. He threw the bag over his shoulder and slowly headed for the door, half worried this strange woman was going to jump him on the other side of it. Shaking his head he pushed it open and walked into the brightly lit room that he realized was a kitchen.

Glancing around he spotted the woman from earlier, and he took a moment to study her. He knew she was Native American, probably Navajo or another tribe. She was older than him, probably closer to twenty or so, with straight black hair that reached her shoulders, curves in all the right places and standing at about five foot six. She was very pretty but it didn't make up for the fact that Seth was terrified of her and he edged around the counter while he looked for another door that would lead to freedom.

"Don't even think about it." Her voice startled him and he swung around to see her shooting him an amused look over her shoulder. "You are not sneaking out of here without some food, now sit down."

He hesitated, wondering if he could use his wolf speed to get out of the house without her noticing, but his stomach gave a loud rumble and the girl shot him a half glare over her shoulder. "See, I told you that you would be hungry. Now sit down, I won't bite. Unless you ask me to that is."

Her suggestive wink made him blush again and he slowly sat down on a bar stool that was sitting by the island, dropping his backpack at his feet with a thump. The woman turned to grab something and chuckled when she saw him stiffly sitting on the stool, shaking her head at him. "Calm down Seth, I won't hurt you. I was just teasing. I'm Liza by the way, Liza Deerhorn. You aren't from around here are you?"

Seth shook his head and she pursed her lips slightly as she nodded and turned back to the stove. "Where are you from then? You don't look Navajo and I don't know any other tribes that have that kind of physique."

She smirked at him over her shoulder and he shifted slightly in his seat as he felt his face grow warm. "Uh, I'm from La Push, Washington. I was on my way to Phoenix to visit a friend. Sorry about the truck by the way."

Liza waved her hand dismissively as she placed a plate full of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast in front of him. "Don't worry about it. Ain't even my truck to be honest. My cousin is the one who hit you, Mikayla. She brought you here when she realized she didn't kill you."

Seth hesitantly took a bite of his breakfast and shrugged slightly. "Uh, guess I'm lucky."

Liza gave him a strange look before nodding slowly and turned back to the stove. "She'll be here soon by the way, Mikayla. She had to go run some errands this morning but she'll be back for lunch to check on you."

Seth paused, he had started wolfing down his food while she was talking, and glanced at the clock on the wall that read just after eleven am and frowned. "How long have I been here?"

Liza shrugged at him and brought over more food for his empty plate. "Couple of days. You were out of it for quite a while."

Seth nearly choked on his eggs and struggled to his feet as he coughed. "Crap, I have to go. I was supposed to be in Phoenix two days ago."

Liza's eyes widened as he grabbed his bag and looked around for the door, setting the plate down with a frown. "You can't just take off like that. You don't even know where you are, not to mention my cousin wants to talk to you."

Seth brushed past her and spotted a door in what appeared to be the living room, shooting an apologetic look over his shoulder. "Sorry, I really have to go. It's important. Tell her I'm sorry about the truck and everything and thanks for taking care of me."

He bolted out the door, leaving a stunned Liza staring after him.

Seth slowly trudged his way down the main street of the small town, trying to ignore the surprised looks from the townspeople about his state of undress. He didn't think a shirtless man walking around in the desert would be that big of a deal but then again the average shirtless man wasn't a six-foot two werewolf. He had quickly discovered that Liza's house was on the north side of town, the opposite of where he wanted to be. Because it was early in the day he couldn't risk phasing and someone seeing him skirting the town so he was forced to walk his way through the place, which he learned was called Cameron.

A quick questioning of the gas station attendant had led him to find that Phoenix was only about three hours away, two by wolf speed. He wished his cell phone hadn't been smashed so he could check to see if Bella had tried to contact him. His stomach twisted sharply as he wondered what could have possibly kept her from answering him and he quickened his pace as his wolf paced restlessly. He glanced up to see he was a few blocks from the edge of town and he let out a sigh of relief as he ducked down a side alley to avoid the crowds.

As he jogged down the alley way his ears pricked at a sound behind him and he glanced over his shoulder to see a flash of red fur and his steps slowed. The fur seemed too big to be a dog and he briefly wondered if Jake had followed him but he knew that he would have sensed him earlier. His mind next flashed to coyote but it looked too big to be that either. He hesitated, a strange sensation tugging him a few steps towards the dumpster, a flash of auburn hair making him quicken his steps. His heart rate picked up and he found himself running, his wolf howling in excitement as he rounded the corner…to an empty alley.

He stood, staring with a frown and his harsh breathing the only sound as his wolf paced and whined anxiously. "What was that?"

He shook his head and turned to go back the way he'd come and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a girl standing in his path. "Holy…where did you come from?"

He clutched his pounding chest as the girl smirked and he swept his gaze over her. She was tall for a girl, about 5'10" and had tanned skin several shades lighter than his own, a dusting of freckles over her nose and high cheekbones, with auburn hair that just brushed past her shoulders. Her eyes were blocked by a pair of dark sunglasses and he felt an irrational anger that he couldn't see them.

"It's not polite to stare you know."

Her smooth voice rolled over him at the same time as her honey and lavender scent and his eyes fell half closed as they rolled back slightly, biting back the half growl, half moan that rose in his throat. He sucked in another breath of her scent and forced his eyes open to see her watching him with her arms crossed, eyebrow cocked slightly as she perused him with the same intensity that he was her. "You know with your size it's a wonder you didn't damage my truck more than you did."

Her statement cause her name to click in is head and his wolf purred. "Mikayla."

Her other eyebrow cocked and she shifted her weight back a bit, nodding her head. "Good, you remember me. At least we know each other's names now Seth."

He nodded dumbly and she tilted her head as she took a few steps towards him, and he stepped forward as if drawn by a magnet. They were only a foot apart and she tilted her head back slightly to look at him, the faint outline of her eyes visible behind the glasses and he slowly lifted his hand to pull them off, growling lowly when she deflected his hand. "Off."

Her eyebrow raised at the growled command and he felt his eyes shift to the wolf, causing a faint gasp to slip past her pink lips. She backed up a few steps and he growled again, dropping into a half crouch as he stalked after her. Her back met the brick wall of the building behind her and he flashed forward, locking her in place with his arms on either side of her, gulping down the heady aroma of her scent. She wasn't afraid of him, instead she was watching him with a faint smirk on her lips as her body relaxed against the rough wall behind her and he growled low in his throat again. "Off."

She bit her lip slightly and slowly raised her hands, slipping off the offending lenses, ducking her head before he could look at her. he rumbled slightly in his chest as he dipped his head into the nook between her neck and shoulder, rubbing his nose over the skin with a faint grin as she sucked in a breath. "Look at me. Please."

He softened his tone to sooth the nerves he could feel jumping against both their skin, bumping his nose against her jaw as he pulled away and waited patiently, ignoring the wolf's demand that he force her to look at him, watching with bated breath. She sucked in a deep breath and slowly raised her head; her eyes closed with a faint frown line in-between her brows as she worried her bottom lip between her teeth again. He raised his hand and gently tugged it free, swallowing hard as her breath ghosted over his thumb, and slowly raised it to smooth away the worry line as he crooned softly to her. "Hey, it's okay. You can look."

Her breath puffed out and he watched entranced as her eyelids slid open ever so slowly and hazel green eyes met his brown in one earth shattering moment.

Bella huffed as she switched off the vacuum cleaner and swept her gaze over the living room. "Finally clean. Now maybe I can relax..."

She started down the hallway towards the bedroom, her mind already imagining a nice relaxing bath and soaking till dinner when the doorbell rang. With a groan she thought about ignoring it but whoever it was rang twice more quickly and she turned with a growl and stomped back toward the living room. "I swear if that's the mailman again..."

She walked into the entryway and nearly tripped over the rug, glaring at her feet as she jerked open the door with a muttered curse.

"Is that anyway to greet an old friend Bella?"

Her gaze snapped up in shock and she stared at the figure in the doorway dumbly for a moment before a huge grin broke over her face and she launched herself at them. "Seth! Oh my gosh, what are you doing here?!"

He laughed, squeezing her tightly as he took in a deep breath and rumbled softly in his chest. She let herself soak in his heat, inhaling his woodsy scent and sighing softly in contentment.

"Hate to break this up but is there a reason we're wasting the air conditioning? It is Arizona in August you know."

A feminine voice broke into Bella's thoughts and she peeked over Seth's shoulder to see a very beautiful girl standing behind him, her head cocked slightly to the side as she watched the two of them embrace. Seth chuckled and set Bella down on her feet, reaching behind him he snagged the girl by her waist and pulled her into his side, tucking her head under his chin as he glanced at Bella. "Can we come in?"

She nodded quickly, stepping out of the way so the two of them could cross the threshold, Seth nudging the door shut behind him as he grinned down at the girl in his arms. "Bella, this is Mikayla Horserunner. My imprint."

Bella's eyes widened in shock as she stared at him before a smile crossed her face and she turned to Mikayla with her hand out. "Hi, I'm Bella Swan. It's nice to meet you."

Mikayla slowly took her hand, her eyes slowly sweeping over Bella and she studied her eyes carefully, hazel and chocolate locked onto each other as they searched for something in each other's gaze. After a long moment Mikayla finally smiled at her and pulled away from Seth to envelope Bella in a hug, surprising both of them. "I've heard a lot about you Bella. I was kind of worried with the way Seth talked about you that I'd have to warn you off him, imprint or not. But you love someone else, I can see it, you're meant for him."

Bella froze, her breath cut off in a painful squeeze at the girl's words and she looked toward Seth in a panic. He quickly stepped forward and placed a hand on Mikayla's back as she pulled away, tucking his arm around her waist in a protective gesture and offered Bella a comforting look. "Bella, is there somewhere we can talk? I have something important to tell you."

She frowned at him, seeing the mix of worry, nervousness and a spark of what looked like hope in his eyes. Her stomach churned as she wondered if it had something to do with Jacob. What on earth was Seth doing here anyway? Slowly she nodded and motioned toward the living room as she plastered a small smile on her face. "The living room is clean, let me just get the vacuum cleaner put away. Can I get you something to drink? I know how hot it is outside Seth, especially when you're coming from Washington."

She knew she was babbling but she couldn't seem to stop as she led them further into the house, her mind spinning with questions. She quickly grabbed the handle of the vacuum and tugged it toward the closet as Mikayla folded her body onto the corner of the couch and Seth followed her into the kitchen. "Let me help Bella. Maybe you have something to eat? We left Cameron in a hurry and didn't have time to grab anything."

She nodded wordlessly and allowed him to follow her into the kitchen, missing the worried look Seth shot Mikayla as they disappeared behind the kitchen's swinging door. As soon as it swung shut behind them Bella spun around and nailed him with a glare. "Seth, what the hell is going on? Who is she and what is she talking about?"

Seth hesitated, the sparks snapping in her eyes surprising him. This certainly wasn't the Bella that left Forks three months ago, now she had a backbone and fire like Jacob had always said she did. He felt a small surge of pride that she seemed so much more like the woman Jake insisted she was under Edward's influence.

"Hello, Earth to Seth. Come in Seth!" He snapped back to the present as Bella waved her hand in front of his face, her face scrunched up in confusion and he smiled down at her as he hooked a bar stool and sat down so he was more level with her. "Seth, what is going on? What are you doing here? Does you mom and the Pack know you're here? About her?"

Seth shook his head as he set his hands on her shoulders and forced her to look at him and not peer over his shoulder at the kitchen door. "Bella, breathe."

She gave him a mock glare but took a few deep, steady breaths as she unconsciously leaned towards his warmth, making his wolf purr in contentment and he suppressed the urge to rub his chin over the top of her head like he did with Mikayla. "Knock it off; she's not ours to claim. Jake will kill us if he finds our scent on her like that."

His wolf huffed in annoyance and growled lowly but Seth ignored him as he turned his attention back to Bella who had calmed down quite a bit. "Sorry Seth, I guess she just threw me off balance. And you showing up out of the blue with an imprint…"

Her forehead wrinkled in concern as she looked him over and frowned at him. "I know you don't look it Seth but you are barely sixteen, she looks at least that age if not older. How is that going to work? Not to mention her family and yours and the Pack…does she know about the Pack? How do you even explain that to someone who never even heard the legends? Is that why you brought her here, so I can talk to her about them and-"

Her rambling was interrupted by Seth placing his hand firmly over her mouth, fighting the urge to laugh at her wide eyed gaze as he easily lifted her into his lap with his other arm and raised an eyebrow at her. "Can you let me explain Bella, or are you just going to go through every scenario that pops into your brain?"

She glared slightly at him and he felt a sudden wetness against his palm as her tongue darted between her lips and licked his hand. "Yuck, really Bella? Very mature there Ms. Two year old."

Bella smirked at the disgusted look on his face as he wiped his palm on his cutoffs before forcing a serious expression on his face. "Bella, something happened at home…"

Her amusement faded and was replaced with panic as her heart started pounding in her chest, all different kinds of possibilities flying through her brain as to what could have brought him rushing to Arizona. She knew it couldn't be Charlie, she had just spoken to him last night and he said everything was fine. Everyone else would have warranted a phone call, everyone except… "Jacob."

He hesitated as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously and her heart sank as she realized the only reason Seth would have rushed down here in such a panic. "He imprinted."

Seth's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say something but Bella cut him off as she jumped off his lap and started pacing the kitchen with a determined set to her jaw. "It's fine Seth, really. You didn't have to come all the way down here to tell me that, although I suppose you did because I lost my cell phone but have just checked with Charlie, he knows my new number. There wasn't really a reason for you to worry everyone, I'm fine. I have a job and a roommate and I'm perfectly happy with that, I wasn't planning on going back to Forks. Now I know that I did the right thing leaving and moving on, not pining for Jake like I did Edward. I'll be fine, you should get home before your mother and sister gets worried. I'm sure they'll be anxious to meet Mikayla."

She had paced around the kitchen the duration of her speech and ended with her back to Seth as she stood in front of the sink, arms crossed as she stared unseeing at the sun-baked backyard. There was silence behind her and then she felt Seth's warmth at her back before he grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, hands locking around her upper arms as he lifted her to eye level, her feet dangling as she gaped at the fierce expression on his face.

"Are you quite done Bella?" She nodded mutely and his expression softened slightly as he sat her on the counter, his hands moving to give her shoulders a light squeeze. "Bella, Leah and Paul lied to you. Jacob never said all that stuff, they said that trying to protect him from getting hurt anymore. Then they told Jake that you had chosen Edward and left with him."

Bella's eyes widened and she blinked slowly as Seth's confession sank in, her heart thudding loudly in her ears and almost drowned out Seth's next words. "Bella I came to get you, to bring you back. Jake went nuts when he found out, who knows what kind of trouble he got into after I left. He needs you to come home, all of us do. All of our wolves have all been off since you left, even if the others don't understand it, I do. You belong with us Bella, you belong with Jacob. Just like Mikayla said, you're meant for him, imprinting be damned."

Bella raised an eyebrow at him and he shrugged, glancing over his shoulder towards where Mikayla waited in the living room. "It's different Bella, Mikayla…even knowing her so short of time I know I would have fallen in love with her without the imprint. Like Jacob did with you, he doesn't need to because he already loves you as much as an imprint."

He heaved a heavy sigh and gave her a searching look, trying to gauge her feelings as she stared past him with a thoughtful look in her eyes. "Bella? Please, come home."

A slow smile spread across her face and she gripped his shoulders tightly. "Give me ten minutes."

Jen sighed as she pulled her car up to the curb in front of the house, rubbing her temples as she glanced at the driveway, a faint frown appearing as she saw Bella's car was missing. She had gotten an unsettling feeling earlier that day while she had been cutting Mrs. Peabody's hair, the old woman's idle gossip grating on her nerves as she tried to determine what had set off the feeling. Bella hadn't answered her texts or calls, not that it was that surprising since the girl couldn't keep track of her cell phone if her life depended on it. But seeing her car gone was sending that uneasy feeling spiking into panic and she hurriedly got out of the car and headed for the front door.

"Bella I really hope you just decided to put the car in the garage or ran to the store…" She fumbled for her key and paused as she frowned at the front door, sniffing the air slightly and her eyes widened as she waved her hand at the door and it sprung open. "Bella!"

She hurried inside and waved the door shut behind her as she raced through the house and came to a sudden stop when the note on the counter caught her attention. Snatching it up she scanned it quickly, her eyes widening in increasing dismay as she muttered some words in a foreign language, tugging her violet hair in frustration. "The Council is going to have my head for this..."

She quickly stuffed the letter in the back pocket of her jeans and hurried toward her bedroom as she hit a button on her cell phone, fiddling with her necklace impatiently as she waited for it to ring through. "Yes, I need to book a flight to Seattle Washington as soon as possible..."

A/N: Well there we go, Bella is finally on her way back to Forks, although Jacob is in Alaska at the moment so it'll be a bit longer for our lovebirds to have their reunion. Any guesses on Jen? And in case people think differently, the texts that Bella sent in the beginning were to/from Jen after a major girls' night. Had to freak everyone out that she had actually left with Bryce for a little bit. ;) Let me know what you thought and I'll work hard on the next update!
