A/N Time for the final bow. Here is the final chapter. And since it's such a special Chappy, this ending will consist of three parts. Three points of view. Three characters. Which ones? The main players of course! Thanks for all the Reviews! I swear I usually fizzle out during the end of things, videogames, movies, homework, books, even this! The reviews helped a lot. I really appreciate them!

We descended the stairs in silence. Edward never broke contact with me while we snuck out of the house.

He kept my hand in his squeezing it every once and a while. I couldn't help but feel like my heart was being squeezed too. I was afraid to ask. I wasn't sure why Edward wanted to go visit Jake. Would they fight? Would they...well, the only outcome I could think of was them fighting.

Even worse still was not knowing. I wasn't sure how I would react having to face Jake so soon. Edward came back to me, but even I couldn't tell how deeply I would be affected when I saw Jake next. I was going to find out soon.

We reached the front door of my house when Edward hesitated. I stopped behind him waiting for him to open the door, and when he did, I was surprised to see Jasper waiting for us on the other side. His hair was disshelved and his clothes were wrinkled and slightly ripped.

"Alice told me that I should come here and wait for you," he said with a slightly disappointed tone. He was obviously not happy that he was separated from Alice, but if she told him to come, he would have had no choice.

"That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Bella and I were just about to pay a visit to the Black residence would it?"

Jaspers eyes shot up at the mention of the Blacks. "I'm going," he said quickly before walking over to the Volvo.

The drive to La Push consisted me in the passenger seat, Jasper in the back and Edward driving. No one spoke. The silence was almost palpable. Edward still hadn't given me anymore details about his sudden need to talk to Jacob Black.

As we passed the former border I noticed Edward slow down momentarily before speeding up again. Not even he was used to the peace yet.

We stopped somewhere near a dirt road, about five minutes away from Jake's house. Jasper got out of the car without saying a word and started walking in the direction of the house.

Edward and I stayed in the car, in silence. I gripped his hand tightly when I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Edward, why are we so far away?"

"I want you to stay in the car, okay?"

"I want to go with you," I said sounding like a child, but not really caring.

"Bella, please, I don't want you to have to deal with this," he leaned over to place a kiss on my forehead. "If you go with us it will only hurt you. That's why I originally planned to go while you were sleeping."

Fear raced through me. I began to wish that Jasper hadn't left yet so he could tell Edward how worried I was.

"Please, I don't want you to fight. I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want to get anyone hurt." I didn't want Jake to get hurt either, but I just included him in the 'anyone' category.

Edward let out an amused chuckle and I gave him an angry look. How could he laugh? My insides were twisting, worried about people I cared about getting hurt, and he laughs? He seemed to catch on to my feelings because he wiped the grin off his face to speak to me.

"Bella, I'm not here to fight."

"You're not? Then why is Jasper here?" I asked, not really believing him.

He caught the doubt in my face. "Bella, I wouldn't lie to you. I told you that I'm not going to keep things from you anymore. Keeping things from you for your protection causes more damage than actually telling you." He wiped a strand of hair out of my face before continuing. "Jasper is here for the same reason I am...To say 'thank you'.

"Thank you?" I thought out loud. "What did he do for you?"

Edward smirked. "You really don't know?" I shook my head. "Although he didn't know it at the time, he protected my heart. And when I finally came to my senses, he gave it back to me."

He kissed me softly before starting the engine again.

"So you've decided to take me along?" I asked playfully.

"Well, it seems dear Bella, that some things I overlooked have just now come to my attention. It's really quite shameful."

I cocked my head to the side pressing for him to explain.

"Well you didn't actually think I would leave you alone in the car in the middle of the night in werewolf territory no less?"

I can't believe I didn't think about where I would make Bella wait for me. She wasn't supposed to come after all, but I was glad she did.

I drove to the front of the Blacks' house. It was still farther than Bella would have liked, but it was a close enough distance so I could keep an eye on her in the car.

I was uneasy with Bella confronting Jacob Black so soon. I urged for her to stay in the car and she agreed, not without a fight though. The reason I didn't want Bella to come was because her pain was still fresh. There was also the anxiety I felt when I thought about her feelings for him. I berated myself for feeling so insecure. I had brought all of this upon myself and my loved ones as well.

I stepped out of the car, stealing one more kiss from Bella before catching up with Jasper just outside of the door.

I could smell him inside, and I was pretty sure he smelt us as well. The door opened before we even had a chance to knock and out stepped the do-Jacob. He looked at the two vampires defensively and I knew he had to remind himself of the peace. I saw him look past me and his eyes widened. I could tell he had caught Bella's gaze.

I quickly stepped in his line of sight, blocking his view of Bella and vice versa. I clenched my jaw thinking of how Bella was feeling.

Jacob let out a slight growl after I blocked his view of Bella.

"What do you want?" he asked impatiently.

"We would like to talk," I peered past his shoulders seeing that no one else was home. "May we come inside?"

I made sure that he went in first to keep him from looking at Bella again. I was last to enter, but before I did I glanced back at Bella in the car.

She seemed distraught. She noticed me watching her and a weak smile graced her lips. She was so brave. She nodded at me telling me that it was okay and I walked into the house.

"Thank you," Jasper was the first to speak.

"For what?" he asked somewhat morosely. I looked around. The house was a mess. His clothes were sloppy, and I noticed for the first time how miserable he looked. The state of disarray his house was in only proved my assumption.

"You gave Bella back to us," Jasper spoke his words few, but meaningful like always. He had as much reason to be grateful than I did. Bella coming back not only saved me, but him as well.

I stayed silent during their exchange bothered by what I was seeing. It didn't make sense. A wave of anger washed through me when I became enlightened by Jacob's thoughts.

"You still love her," I spoke in an accusatory tone.

He didn't even look at me. Jasper didn't even look surprised.

"Why?" I asked desperately. "You imprinted! I know you did!"

"I did," he said quietly still refusing to look me in the eye.

"You told her that you imprinted knowing that I'd come back to her," I vocalized his thoughts.

"She needed a resolution. What you did to her...she needed to deal with it," his eyes finally rose and met mine. They were filled with defiance. "She needed to be fixed and I knew only you could do it." A pang of guilt hit me at the thought of Bella so broken.

"I-"

"She'll come back to me you know." He interrupted. There was fire burning in his eyes. "She loves me."

"I know she does," I replied unwillingly.

"If...if you hadn't come back. If you had just stayed away," his voice choked out and I knew he was close to tears. His pride would keep him from crying in front of us though. "We would have been happy. She was fine before you came. We would have been happy, damn it! If you had just stayed away," he was shaking from grief. Jasper winced.

The guilt wracked up as I added another person to the list of people who I've made miserable because of my foolishness.

He took a deep breath. "I love her," he talked as if was holding that in. "I want her to be happy. I'm going to do what you didn't. I'm not going to go back to her. I'm not going to turn her world upside down and put her in the same position you did. I am going to keep away so she can actually remain happy."

I didn't know what to say. I felt Jasper trying to make me feel better. He was worried that all this guilt would draw me back into the pitiful state I was in. I felt smaller than I ever had, but nothing could have been worse than my days without Bella.

"I'm not going to go back to her," he reiterated. "So just keep her safe. Please." I nodded a yes. Of course I would keep her safe.

I felt that he was done, so I turned with Jasper towards the door, but he spoke again.

"I'll be waiting," he said, resulting in me raising an eyebrow in question. "She'll come back to me. I know she will. I just want you to know that I'll be here waiting until she realizes it."

I didn't want to crush his hopes so I just continued walking out the door with Jasper.

We walked outside into the cool night. The stars were vibrant in La Push and there was a full moon in the sky. It loomed over us, so huge, it swathed us in a silvery light. Despite the beautiful scenery, the guilt still rolled off of me in waves and I knew it was enough to make Jasper uncomfortable.

"It's okay," he placed a hand on my shoulder reassuringly. "He still has a part of her. Bella left something with Jacob."

Jasper offered nothing more than that. I knew he wasn't lying just to make me feel better, but I couldn't help but wonder at the last thought I caught from him before he said he'd run back to the house alone.

He was thinking 'He would have been better off...'

I watched out the window as the blond one ran off alone leaving Edward to get into his car alone with her.

I couldn't bear to watch them together for long so I dragged myself back to my bed. I wouldn't be able to fight it off much longer.

I curled myself onto my bed into a fetal positionlike I had been doing all day. My body shook and I tried to pull myself as close together as possible. I didn't cry, but I doubt that it would have made much difference if I did. Darkness surrounded me and I seemed to feel so many things at once.

My heart pounded in my chest, every beat was like a wrecking ball. Even involuntary actions hurt. I felt a queasiness in my stomach. It wasn't hunger. I had already grown accustomed to it. It was like ball, but it always felt like it was growing more and more every second. A hole.

I plunged deeper and deeper in the blackness wondering who would pull me out of it. I thought of only one face who's smile could pull me back. I held on to that single ray of light, the only anchor I had left.

I had that only hope. I knew she would come back. She loved me, imprint or not. I just had to be patient. I just had to stay here. Waiting.

A/N

Okay that's it I guess. Finally. This one got really long. Like I said, this story originally wasn't even supposed to involve Jake! Haha. Okay I probably will do a sequel, but I will post up the deets on the next chapter The Extras Chapter.The sequel won't be very angsty. I got that out of my system now haha. The sequel will probably be a lot of fluff/comfort. A possible title I'm playing with is "Insecurities", if you can draw anything from that.

Preview. Haven't done one of these in a while, but I just started writing a scene I thought up in my head and I guess it would make a good preview for the sequel. It's unformatted and not really refined. It's just a rough draft because I haven't really put any thought to it. I just typed out what was in my head so I could remember my idea. It's not really important so you don't have to read it.

"It's okay Edward." "It's not like...you know..." He looked at me questioningly. "I mean...never mind it's stupid." - "No, what is it Bella?" I knew he was not going to let this go...no matter how much I wished he would. "It's just that I know it won't be as enjoyable for you..." My cheeks blushed harder and I had to fight the urge to cry. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. - "Bella, what on earth are you talking about?" He slowly caressed both of my arms in his hands, moving them up and down. He pulled me closer to him and I became highly aware of how each and every one of his muscles felt against my body. He looked at me with eyes filled with love, but deeper than that belied a gaze of insurmountable want...lust? "I would love nothing more than to ravish you," my body shivered at his choice of words. "You are exquisite, with a body that is every bit as amazing as that mysterious mind of yours. The truth is, Bella, you are quite sexy." I blushed even more furiously than before. Had I not been so impossibly in love with this man, the shimmering God calling me sexy might have seemed patronizing. I merely shook my head violently clearing away all of his sweet, yet biased notions. He grabbed my wrists which halted my movements. "Bella, love. Do you doubt my observations? I am merely restating...perhaps more eloquently, what I gleaned from the minds of every male in Forks...excluding Charlie of course." I was speechless for a while after his overwhelming flattery, but found my voice after I purposely drew my attention away from his eyes. "I know that if something does happen," I choked out. "You would be extra careful not to overstep any boundaries with me. You won't feel as mush as I feel because of my human limitations." - "Impossible. I love you, if you choose to share that moment with me, know that it would be every bit as special to me as it would be to you. Probably even more, though I doubt you'd believe that." He gave me a broad smile. He seemed to have all the answers. I just had one more doubt. "But still, are you sure you want to do this with me? You have been waiting over a hundred years. If it truly would be your first time...I just think it should be more meaningful for you. I wouldn't want to take away your first...your first..." Tears started streaming from my eyes and I lowered my head in attempt to hide them. The most frustrating part was that I didn't even know why I was crying. "With another vampire you would be able-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence. Edward had took me by my shoulders and shook me hard once. It wasn't a violent shove, but it sent enough shock to my system to stop me from what ever I was doing. -"Stop this now Isabella Swan. You are the only one I want. I don't know what or who put these horrid ideas in your head, but they're wrong." I redirected my gaze back at Edward. His eyes spoke to me. They were saying 'Bella you're hurting me.' I immediately felt remorse at making him so sad. I hated myself for letting my insecurities out. Instead off letting everything out and making myself feel better, I had made Edward feel worse. "Edward I'm sor-" He cut me off again. Edward placed his thumb on my cheek and wiped away the tears. He did so with both eyes. He stared at me intently before swooping down and implanting his lips on mine. He pushed down hard and he let his weight drag me down onto my bed with him.

What are they talking about? Don't worry the story will be rated T.
