It was 1:22 am, and I lay on my bed just staring at the white ceiling above me

The next morning, I woke up at 6:30 to pack. Jacob said he was picking me up at 7:30 and we would grab breakfast on the way. There aren't words to describe how scared I was at that time. I didn't know what was going to happen, if Edward would be mad at me, if things were going to be awkward again… but I knew I had to face it some time, so I didn't bother thinking about it. When I went to the bathroom to take a shower, right next to the sink, I saw my charm bracelet with the wolf hanging as one charm and the crystal heart hanging as another. It hurt me to look at that every morning, but I just couldn't help but wear it. It felt like if I took the crystal charm off, then it would really be over. When Jacob saw me wearing the bracelet, I just told him that I didn't want to forget about Edward's friendship, But I know he saw through me. After taking my shower, I was a bit more relaxed, until I heard the doorbell knowing it was Jacob. My heart started pounding again, I was scared, but still anxious. I hurried downstairs in my bathrobe and answered the door to see Jacob's confuse and angry look.
"you're not dressed yet?!" he pretty much yelled it.
"what's the rush?" I tried to sound calmer than I was. "I was taking my time, but I'll be ready in about ten minutes, I promise." I yelled from up the stairs, but I'm sure he still heard me.
I already had my outfit picked out and hung over a chair. A red low-cut tank top and a pair of light blue jeans. I wasn't in the mood for running shoes, so I just put on a pair of red flip-flops to match my top. For the time I was going to spend at the hotel while being there, I brought 2 other shirts, a black and pink striped half sleeve, and a white full sleeve incase it got cold. I also brought my favorite black miniskirt to wear with pretty much anything.
After getting dressed and picking up my suitcase, I looked in my top right shelf to find a piece of paper with the address of Tanya's house where Edward was staying. I came running down the stairs to find Jacob waiting for me at the door. I handed him the address and some money that should cover for the hotel, food and anything else I might need.
"Bella.." He was starting to refuse when I cut him off.
"No, Jake, that's fine. You can't keep taking care of me forever." Right after I said that, I wished I hadn't. The look on his face was just plain torture. So I hurried to correct myself, but it was already too late.
"So who do you want to take care of you forever?" he asked crossing his arms against his chest.
"Jake, you know I didn't mean it like that!" I was mad now, he was pushing it a bit too far.
"I'm pretty sure I heard it right, Bella!" he had the same tone and expression as me now.
"Okay, how long are you going to keep this up for?" I asked taking one step closer to him.
"What?" I could say he was faking it, but it actually did look like he was confused.
"Doing this to me! The you verses Edward thing!" I was yelling but I didn't bother to try to keep it down. "you know it kills me when you do that!" I continued not feeling bad about one thing I had said or was about to say. "God, you're so selfish! Edward would never have done this to me!" I could see his eyes narrowing with that hurtful expression on his face, but at that point, I really didn't care.
I was silent for a while and we stared at each other awkwardly.
"So, are you ready to go?" he changed the whole subject and I was glad.
"Let's go" I flashed a smile and he returned it. His smile was a lot happier and more convincing than mine. We were both just glad to have this conversation over with. We both just went inside the Rabbit as Jacob started driving.

On the way, we stopped by the gas station twice so I could go to the bathroom, and so Jacob could fill the car up. Then we stopped by a breakfast place about five kilometers from our hotel. Jacob said he wasn't hungry, and I ended up having a milkshake and chocolate and blueberry pancakes. They were the best pancakes I'd had in my life, and you could tell by the way I was eating them. When we left the restaurant, we went straight to the hotel to check in and put our suitcases away. Out hotel room was huge, it had 2 rooms, a small kitchen, and a bathroom. Only one of the bedrooms had a queen sized bed. The other just had a couch, a television, and a small dresser in the corner. Just when I unlocked the door to our suite, Jacob just put the suitcases on the floor and when straight to the bed and lay down smiling at me.
"Jake, No!" I said as soon as I realized what he was doing. He just laughed.
"What?" He said innocently as if having no idea whatsoever what was going on.
"You know what Jake." I said sharply, being serious.
"So you beg that bloodsucker," He put extra emphasis on bloodsucker. "but you don't even .." he continued as I cut him off.
"Are we going back to that again?" I gave him a dirty look as I went into the bathroom to get ready to go over to Tanya's.
"I just don't understand," he continued ignoring me but shouting louder so that I could hear him in the bathroom. "do you want to get hurt?" I could barely make out what he was saying over the running water, which I meant to do on purpose so that I wouldn't hear him and get upset, but it wasn't working, I could hear every word he was saying. "Because seriously, Bella, he could kill you!" I was getting really mad at that point, and as much as I tried to just ignore it, I couldn't help but yell back.
"he would never do that!" I yelled in anger as I shut the water off and got out of the bathroom so that I could face him.
"I never said he'd do it on purpose" he said smiling calmly.
I just shook my head in disappointment and went to lie down on the couch. I turned to face the wall but I could hear Jacob's footsteps getting louder every step they took toward me. Then when they were too loud, they stopped and I knew he was standing right behind me. Then I could hear the squeak of his shoe as he bent down to get to my level. Then I felt Jacob's lips at my neck, soft and gentle. I wasn't responding, I just pretended to be asleep, but I didn't fool him. I could hear a slight chuckle, then he stopped and stood up. He brushed his warm fingers against my cheeks, and I couldn't help but turn and smile. How did he do that? I thought. I could never be mad at him, he had a magical touch. And I hated the fact that I couldn't be mad at him, it just made it easier to love him and harder to stay away. He lifted his hand for me to take to help me up, and just when I got up on my feet, he kissed me passionately with his hand running through my hair and the other around my waist pushing me even closer to him. It was hard to resist that kiss, so I didn't bother to try. I just put my arms around his neck and kissed him back. I pulled away just as soon as I remembered the reason why we were here.
"I have to get dressed, are you changing or are you just coming like this?" I asked talking really fast now.
"No, I'm just going like this, and you don't need to change, you already look great" he said with a grin
"actually, you're right, this is my favorite, I think I'll just keep it on." I said smiling back. "So.. Are you ready to go?"
He breathed in deeply letting out a sigh. "yea, let's go"

When in the car, Jacob's hands we stiff around the wheel, and I could guess why.
"Are you nervous?" I asked already knowing the answer as well as the answer he was going to give me.
"No, I'm fine" he answered a bit too quickly.
"Swear?"
"Sure, sure"
I smiled, wishing I was the one who could read his mind to see what he was really thinking.
As we got to a parking lot of one of the largest houses I'd ever seen, Jacob let in a deep breath and then sighed saying "We're here"
I couldn't believe it! This is where he was staying this whole time. And now this was it, I was going to see him again. I was literally shaking until Jacob got hold of my hand and calmed me down.
We went up to the front door to ring the doorbell, when before my hand even touched the doorbell, the door opened, and there he was. That perfect angel standing before me, those gorgeous eyes staring at me, that perfect smile flashing towards me, which was gone right when he switched his eyes to Jacob.
"Edward!" I said in shock, even though I knew I was going to see him, I never pictured him again like this, though he hadn't changed, no matter how I saw him, it still wasn't as good as he looked now. "how did you…" I said in a confused tone.
"Alice" he answered with a slight smile not taking his eyes off of me.
Every time he looked at Jacob, he had that hurt look in his eyes, and though he was trying hard to hide it, I could still see through him.
Still smiling at me, he stepped closer hugging me tightly. I would've given anything to have that moment last forever, but I could sense Jacob's eyes on him, watching him very carefully.
