A/N: Thank you again for reading and reviewing D

And for later reference, if you do have specific questions/comments that I can't answer in my story, I answer in my author's notes. So I don't answer everyone's comment, I'm sorry.

To xxPiratesxx: Yes, Jacob is very pale, since he is the vampire in this story. As for Edward, I don't think he'd be tan, since this is set in Forks, and there isn't much sun. But he isn't as pale as Jacob.

This story is rated T, so I warn any kids reading this story. And school starts Wednesday, so please don't expect any updates anytime soon. Sorry.

oooooooooooooooooooo

We arrived at my dad's office in about ten minutes. I sat in the back of Jake's car while Billy sat in the passenger's seat. I still wanted to give respect to his family. After all, it would be bad to break a vampire's trust.

We entered into the office, decorated with balloons, streamers, and in the back hung on the wall a poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE!" They were laughing, and I realized that we were the last of the non-officers who arrived. Charlie's friends and their families were there, along with his coworkers' wives. I was glad to see a very genuine smile on his face.

"Hey, Dad!" I said, smiling to him. "Happy Birthday!"

"Hey, Bells." He said, remnants of laughing still on his face, and awkwardly I kissed his cheek. I handed the box to him. "Thanks." Instead of putting it where all the other presents were, he kept it in his hands. After greeting Billy and Jacob, he turned back to me.

"Hmm…well you are my daughter…I think I'll open yours now."

Jacob and Billy started sniggering behind Charlie's back. I loved Charlie's face as he looked down with fake horror at his present. "Fish…bait…thanks…Bells…"

I laughed, "Don't worry, Dad, You really think that'd be your real gift?"

The sparkle returned to Charlie's eyes as he laughed, "Oh, Okay!"

The rest of the room turned to watch Charlie as he opened the rest of his gifts. He had much assortment of gifts, including Billy's gift of clothes, gift cards, pots and pans (I got a kick out of that one) and so on.

But the party had to end at some point, which was around eleven. I rode home with Charlie, after sneaking into the hallway to kiss Jake goodbye.

"Did you like your party, Dad?" I asked as we drove home.

"I sure did!" He said excitedly. The happiness of the night wasn't over for him yet.

When we arrived at home, I helped Charlie bring his gifts inside and said good night. I was very tired and eager to see Jake in my room.

I walked into my bedroom after cleaning up for the night, but when I went inside, Jake looked very angry. He didn't look up as I walked in; he was just scowling and growling at a piece of paper he held in his hands. I walked up to him and hugged around his waist asking what was wrong.

He growled, "Stupid beasts!" and put the paper in my hands. It read:

i Bella, Please call me as soon as you can. We need to talk. About Jacob and yourself. Don't call if he is around. And trust me, I'll know if you do. This is my number… /i

Edward's writing was very beautiful. Nothing compared to Jacob's of course, but still a heck of a lot better than mine.

I sighed and hugged Jacob again, "I won't call him."

He laughed, but not happily, "Heh. You should just call him. I want to know what that ugly beast has to say."

I paused, not knowing what to say.

He looked at me, "Don't call him."

"I won't. He had enough time to tell me whatever it is earlier today."

Satisfied with my answer, Jacob returned my hug and brought me into his arms, so that we could look easier in each other's eyes. He loosened the hold on me so that he could stroke my cheek with one hand. I yawned involuntarily. Great timing…

Jacob laughed and put me down on my bed. "Sleepy?" He asked

I nodded, "Mmhmm…" He lied next to me and put his arms around my waist as I drifted off into sleep.

When I awoke, Jacob was gone. Before I let depression set in, I looked around for a note. If he didn't leave a note for me when this happens, I would be very, very sad. I soon found one on my nightstand. I read it out loud, "Dearest Bella, I am sorry but I let the anger that beast give me get the best of me. I have gone hunting. I don't know when I'll be back, but it will probably be sometime today or tomorrow. Don't worry for me. I love you. Be back soon."

I sighed, now what am I going to do. It always gets so boring without Jacob…I tried to stray away from knowing I was alone, so I could stop the tears. He would be back soon, anyways. Right?

I started working on the dinner I was planning for Charlie's real birthday. I was going to make his favorite fish dish and a homemade baked chocolate on yellow cake. Midway through writing my grocery list there was a knock at the door. It was about noon. I got up and went to the door, and again to my surprise was Edward.

"Hello, Bella." He said as he let himself in.

"Wha-What are you doing here?" I stuttered; I really hadn't expected this.

"No need to be scared, Bella."

"I'm not scared."

"No? Well of course a bloodsucker lover like you would have no NEED to be scared of a werewolf like me…But maybe, you should be just a little scared." He sat down in one of the chairs around the kitchen table, near where I was working. "What's this? Your father's birthday? You must send him my best wishes…"

"Leave my father out of this."

"Tsk, tsk. No need to worry. I wouldn't hurt him, I can't hurt anyone. It's in the treaty."

I walked away from the door, but still across the room from him and there was a long pause until I asked, "Why did you come here?"

He smiled a weird crooked smile, "I was afraid you'd never ask." He got up and started toward me. "You know, Bella…I really hate to see you with that Jacob Black." He said my lover's name with utmost disgust. He soon regained his controlling demeanor as he walked closer and closer to me. I tried to back away but he soon had me pinned to a wall. Then the weirdest thing happened.

His face softened as he looked into my scared eyes. There was a little space between us, but it still felt like he had me pinned to the walls. I could still feel the heat radiating from him. As he moved his hand to stroke my hair, he spoke, "Bella…you deserve something more than a bloodsucker…"

He was taking my breath away.

He put his other hand on the wall to support himself as he moved the hand on my hair to my cheek. He closed his eyes and moved his face closer to mine as I squeezed my eyes shut, not really sure if I wanted this to be over. His lips were rough on mine, and he tilted my head towards him at a better angle. I slowly lifted my arms to try and prevent this from getting any deeper. He sensed this and moved his hands to hold my hands firmly, yet gently at my sides. Lost in thoughts, I opened my mouth and he slid his tongue in. It felt good to actually open my mouth and not worry about vampire teeth that so viciously wanted my blood.

My mind barely comprehended any of this, but it didn't matter. His lips on mine were the only thing my mind could feel.

"Bella…" I heard a voice say. Whose voice was that? "YOU STUPID UGLY FILTHY BEAST! GET. AWAY. FROM. HER. NOW!" Oh. Now I remember.

"Jacob!" I breathed. Edward backed away from me as Jacob went towards him. Jacob's muscles were bulging and I could see Edward shaking slightly, trying to look away from him. I needed to stop this before anything could happen. "Guys! Stop! Jacob! Edward! Stop!" Jacob was still nearing Edward, but at least Edward had heard me. "The…treaty!" I was at a loss of words. "You can't fight here, not anywhere. Just leave, Edward. Now." There was anger in my voice. I wasn't sure if it was fake or not. Edward left as soon as I said that, through the other door.

Jacob noticed this and was soon by my side, "Are you okay, Bella? Did he hurt you? Ugh. I oughta—"

"No, no, its fine, Jake." I said, regaining my breath. "I'm fine. Really."

He wasn't satisfied with my answer, but sighed nonetheless, "Okay, if you say so. Just tell me the word, and I won't hesitate to get him."

I tried to smile, but it didn't work. "Don't worry, Jake. He just surprised me."

"Yeah, that should've surprised you. I would be really worried if you weren't."

I was scared he was seeing my lack of not knowing my feelings, "Um…just don't let him come near me again." I wasn't sure if I was going to regret that, but I had Jake, so it shouldn't matter…

"Trust me, he won't come anywhere close." He said.
