Okay this one's shorter, mostly because I wanted to know if I should do a little of someone else's POV and also so I could conclude the whole coming back from Volterra and dealing with Charlie etc. Read on!

Chapter 3

After telling the world's most exhausting and annoying tale, Charlie made me call everyone who was even remotely worried about me, even the freaking neighbours to explain why I had to suddenly go save my suicidal ex boyfriend in a foreign country because his family just couldn't figure it out themselves.

I had one person left to call: Jake.

I cringed as the phone stopped ringing and a gruff voice came through "Hello?"

"Billy?" I answered.

"Bella? Bella Swan, is that you!? Jake, Jake, it's Bella, yes it's her come here!" I heard shouting and shuffling before Jake's pissed off voice filled the line.

"Bells what the hell?! I can't believe after everything he did –" at this point I'd had a long day, I've dealt with vampire royalty, a clingy ex, an angry father, melodramatic mother, and confused neighbor.

"JACOB BLACK SHUT UP AND LISTEN YOU MUTT." The line went silent.

"YES I went after Shitward, YES I saved him, but NO, I did NOT take him back. I am here until I graduate and then I'll go off to college or whatever once I get my grades back on track. I think the Cullens might be coming back but I will continue to tell them I have no interest in joining their family so please for the love of all that's holy give me a break and say 'ok Bells glad you're safe talk soon bye'". By the end I was puffing and trying to keep my eyes open.

"Well jesus Bells ok fine, I am glad you're safe and we will talk very soon. Get some rest without any stalker leeches watching over you, we'll be on the lookout."

At his words I froze, the wolves didn't know about the Volturi, and it wasn't going to be easy to explain. At all.

"Look Jake, don't come by tonight. Give me space, please just promise me you'll wait and tomorrow I'll come down to Lapush and explain everything. Please." I crossed my fingers he'd just agree for once.

"Sure ok Bells, I promise, but by 11:00am tomorrow if I don't hear that beast rolling down the path we're coming for you."

I didn't miss the we part of that statement.

"Sure sure, I got it, night Jake."

He sighed before responding "night Bells."

I pulled off my jeans, took off my bra and crawled into bed , passing out the second my head hit the pillow sans blankets.

At some point in the night I woke up to voices outside my window. I guess I'd left it open – old habits die hard and all that jazz. I tried to listen and picked up some of the dialogue but not all.

"…is mine and I refuse to believe…Alice has not even seen...won't stand for this…horrid thoughts to yourself.." sounded like a whiny weasel.

I heard a lower voice answer back, "…give a fuck…simpering little…only then will you be allowed…I dare you" even just hearing snippets of the second voice made me shiver from the obvious malice. When the whining started up again I groaned and all noise ceased. I quickly drifted off again and dreamt of strong arms and a cold touch that somehow sent heat from my head to my toes.
