Bella's Point of View:
I walked down the stairs and sat down on the couch.
I didn't want to talk to Jacob, I didn't want to see him.
Did I?
I wasn't completely sure if I wanted to see Jacob or not but I knew I wanted to run upstairs and into Edward's arms.
The front door opened and Jacob walked in, and then started helping his dad in.
Charlie picked up some food for dinner, I walked over and got myself some.
I wasn't very hungry, since I ate earlier at the Cullens.
I sat back down and started eating, Jacob came over to me and said, "Bella, we need to talk."
I sighed and said, "You talk, I'll listen." Because I didn't have anything to say to him.
He sat down next to me and said, "I'm sorry about what happened a couple of days ago."
I nodded so he would continue, I wanted this over with.
"I'm still not coming to your wedding."
I nodded again even though that did hurt a little, I knew it would happen though.
Then he added more quietly, "I'm not coming to see you ruin your life. I didn't want to say goodbye without you knowing I was sorry."
I wanted to scream, or slap him, or cry, or go get Edward but all I did was say, "Then thanks."
I walked into the kitchen and cleaned up my food.
I wasn't hungry at all, I turned to walk up the stairs when I turned to Jacob and said quietly but full of passion, "I'm not ruining my life, This was the best decision I ever made!"
I didn't want to hear his response, I ran up the stairs, into my bedroom and shut the door, loudly.
Before I could turn around, I was already in Edward's arms.
"I'm sorry." He whispered to me.
Instead of screaming at him for apologizing for something that wasn't his fault, I said, "It's over, I told him the truth and he told me the truth."
He smiled and asked, "That was the truth?"
I smiled and said, "Of course, what else could it be?"
He kissed me for a while and I forgot all about Jake and the wedding and everything else.
Suddenly Edward set me down and whispered, "Charlie is coming, act natural."
The next thing I knew, Charlie was in my doorway and Edward was gone.
"Bella, why don't you call Alice and have her pick you up?" Charlie asked quietly.
"Okay." I said.
He started to turn and my anger got the better of me, "I told you this would be a bad idea."
I almost started crying when Charlie said, "I know and I'm sorry that I made you talk to him when all it did was hurt you more."
I was about to say something when Charlie added, "I'll see you tomorrow, have a nice time with Alice."
He shut the door and walked down the stairs.
Edward came out of hiding in my closet and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
I turned to him and said the truth, "As long as you with me and Jacob leaves me alone, I'm fine."
He smiled and handed me a bag with my overnight stuff in it.
He laughed as he said, "Alice is on her way."
I laughed too and Edward stayed with me until Alice was in the driveway.
I heard Charlie greet Alice, then she bounced up the stairs and into my room.
Edward kissed my cheek and then jumped out of the window, I hoped that he would go sit in Alice's car.
Alice came over to me, picked up my bag and said, "Let's go, you can relax for a while."
I smiled at the thought of relaxing before having to do all this wedding stuff.
She smiled too and pulled me down the stairs, Charlie gave me a nod.
The next thing I knew I was in Alice's backseat, I looked next to me and there sat Edward.
I smiled because he was here, I hated being away from him for even 5 minutes.
He pulled me into his lap and said, "Let's go home, love."
And with that Alice's car was driving down the street.
I was happy that talking with Jake was over but now I was worried about the wedding.
