A/N: Hello those of you who are reading. Thank you for reading and reviewing )
And to the person who says I shouldn't continue, I do like EdwardxBella more, I just got disappointed about how much Jacob got hurt at the end of New Moon. And I guess you didn't read my author's notes, but I MIGHT have some EdwardxBella. And I clearly stated that if you don't like JacobxBella, don't read. If I'm ruining the story, then again I say, don't read. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm still continuing.
Ah…I know I skipped a lot of the character description in the last chapter, so I didn't make it even more confusing. Bella looks the same, and I'll try to make the Cullen's and Black's seem more "realistic" if a werewolf or vampire can look that way. This chapter should clear it up a bit. I changed a few details a bit, but you'll see as you read.

We soon arrived at Jacob's house, where he parked his car. We walked to the beach, his hand entwined into mine. I took small glances at him as we walked, watching the wind blow through his long hair tied into a pony tail. It was definitely warmer, but there were just enough clouds to hide the sun from sparkling so beautifully on Jacob's skin.
"Bella…" We turned around to see the most unexpected thing in La Push…
"Edward." I breathed. Jacob glared at the muscular "boy."
"Can I…talk to you?" He replied; I could hear that deep but low growl coming from him.
I looked to Jacob, who never took his eyes off Edward, I sighed, "Sure."
"Alone. And don't worry, you bloodsucker, I know what our treaty says…We're allowed on each others' land until we hurt anyone, humans included, unless it's to protect ourselves. Then the one who started it must leave forever and never come any where near here."
I stared at their death glare until Edward broke it, and put his hand on my back, moving in the opposite direction of Jacob. I heard Jake's snarl from here.
Edward was very muscular, but not that huge, unlike his brother Emmet, who was very very muscular and huge. His golden-auburn hair was messy along his head, like all of the Cullens. And he was very…dare I say it…handsome. His hand was very hot on my back, and I winced a little, it burned to have something not freezing cold touch me. He let go of me as soon as we were out of Jacob's vision, knowing of Jake's sensitive ears.
"Bella." He said; I could see anger in his eyes. "I see you're still dating Jacob."
I stared, disbelieving, what was he up to…? "Yes" I said, confirming.
His hands twitched a little. "Do you know how…dangerous it is to be anywhere near him?"
"Yes."
"So…you know about...my family."
"Yes."
He sighed, "Don't you think it would be better to just stay in Forks? I…"
I looked at him, what the heck was he doing? "I do live in Forks."
He continued, "I don't think it's safe for a human to be so close to something…that could stop at nothing to satisfy his thirst…"
It was my turn to glare, "You know nothing of Jacob and me."
He returned my glare, "I know that you can die since you know all of this. And I guess I'll just tell you what I came here to say. Don't step out of the lines, Bella; my family won't hesitate to tell a higher being what you know. And I think you know the penalty for your knowledge…" He smiled evilly, showing teeth that looked so close to being very sharp.
I gulped, "You have nothing to worry about. I am a secret keeper."
He frowned, "Yes, yes, if you say so…" He said, rolling his eyes, "But no vampire here can bite a human, even if the human went willingly, unless you want your dear boyfriend to get kicked out of this area. That's another part of this treaty. Just like how my family can't turn into werewolves on this territory."
I tried to show no more emotion than my glare. "All right. That's all you have to say?"
"Yes."
"Okay then."
"Good bye, Bella. Take care, and really do, take care. I'd hate for you to get hurt because of a stupid bloodsucker."
And with that Jacob appeared in an instant behind me.
"Good bye, Edward." Jacob said with a snarl.
Edward left, in his silver Volvo. I still didn't know how his father could work in a hospital, being the way he was.
"Stupid, stupid, disgusting beast…" Jacob said, as beautiful as ever, even in his anger. He regained control, "Now, where were we going, Bella?"
I took a deep breath, trying to swallow in what just happened. Why should he care for me?
"Bella? Bella? Are you okay? I know…those monsters are scary."
Jacob touched my hand and even though his skin was naturally cold, his concerned face warmed my shock.
"I'm fine…That Edward is just confusing." I said slowly.
He grimaced, "Yeah. Keep away from him as much as you can, please, Bella."
"Okay." I said and squeezed his hand again.
He smiled, obviously knowing that he was the only man in my life…And kissed the top of my head. He was still so much taller than me.
We walked along the beach like we said we were. After some sweet silence we sat down on a rock near the beach. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I put my arm on his waist. I played with his long hair, and then he brought me onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around my stomach and I rested back into his cold chest. We stayed like this for a long time, until around twilight.
I sighed, "My dad's office wanted me to bring Billy to the party now, when all the non-officers come too. You coming?"
"Of course I'd go anywhere with you, Bella." He chuckled. He lifted me gently off his lap and we walked back to his house.
We walked into the house and Billy greeted us, "Hey guys. I take it your taking me to the party now? I haven't forgotten."
"Yeah, thanks for telling me about the party, Dad." Jacob said sarcastically.
"I thought Bella would have told you."
I shook my head, "The office said you were going to tell Jake…"
"Well…Okay, okay, it slipped my mind…But I said the gift was from both of us, so don't worry." I just realized there was a small parcel in his lap wrapped in Happy Birthday paper with a small bow on the top. "Where's your gift, Bella?"
I smiled, "I'm giving my real gift to Charlie on his real birthday. But I'm just going to give him this for now." I pulled out a small box from my pocket. "Fish bait." I chuckled and they all laughed with me.
"What did you really get him, Bella?" Jacob asked me.
"A new fishing rod," I said, "I finally got to use my discount at Mike's store."
Jacob made a face; he still didn't really like Mike. "Well what did you get him, Dad?"
Billy laughed again, "Surprisingly, clothes. I swear he's had those clothes he wears ever since your mother went to Phoenix."
I noticed his wording, said so that he didn't offend me; I wouldn't be offended if he had accused my mom of leaving anyways, so I laughed with him. Jacob noticed that too, and laughed again. I loved being with Jacob. He's always been so sweet, and happy, and there for me to brighten my day.
But of course there were things he didn't understand, even though he's lived so long, he doesn't know what it's like to be going to be a senior in high school. He's never had to apply for college, he's just moved place to place. And I vaguely wondered if Edward had to apply for college, and where he'd go…
But Jacob took my hand, "Is it time?" He asked.
I nodded, "Let's go."
