Hey all! MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN FIXED! Turns out it wasn't the motherboard (phew!) I will be updating a lot more frequently now. Thank you so much to all who have been bearing with me. Reviews are read and appreciated so much you have no idea! I wanted to get this Chapter out ASAP. It's short but I didn't want any more in this particular chapter. They will be the same length they have been in the past after this.

Ch 9 –I Feel Funny..

One Month had passed. One month since I had chosen Jacob over Edward. One month without so much as a phone call from Edward, or any Cullen for that matter. It made me sad, though I couldn't blame them. I was the betrayer. It was tough, knowing that Edward really did still love me and to let go of that love, but I never once regretted the decision. I was in the kitchen, mind elsewhere, while cooking myself some eggs for breakfast when a pair of strong tan arms wrapped around me and spun me around for a kiss.

"Good Morning," I smiled.

"Morning," Jake smiled back. "Have you grown recently?" He asked as he jumped up to sit on the counter next to the stovetop.

"I don't know I shouldn't have. How many eggs?" I asked as I walked to the refrigerator to extract the carton once more.

"Don't mind if I finish them off for you do you?" He said guiltily. I just rolled my eyes, a little smile playing around my mouth and began cracking six eggs into a bowl.

"Oops!" I voiced as one egg rolled from the counter. I made a quick grab as Jacobs hand also shot out to catch it. His hand caught mine a few inches from the ground. As he let go, I opened my own hand revealing the egg I was clutching.

"Huh, that was cool," I stated smugly as I cracked the egg over the bowl. It wasn't often that my reflexes worked in my favor.

"Cool? That was awesome Bells! My reflexes must be rubbing off on you!"

"That must be it," I said on tip toe as he bent down to kiss me.

"I really do think you grew a little Bella, I don't have to bend down so much to kiss you."

Ring. Ring.

"Hold on," I said as I strode across the room to the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Bella! What's up?"

"Mike?"

"Yeah hi! How're you doing?"

"I'm doing fine thanks, err what's up?" From across the room Jacob's eyebrows pulled together.

"Well I've noticed you seem to be feeling much better since well...I was wondering if you wanted to you know, hang out. Catch a movie tonight or something." Jacob rolled his eyes and clenched his fist. He was clearly remembering Mike from the last time we went to the movies together. I didn't like where this was going.

"Oh is the whole group going out?" I asked hopefully.

"Well no, I meant just us." My stomach lurched and annoyance began to creep onto my features. Why won't he just give it up?

"No Mike." I began to feel very strange and swayed a little as unmanageable fury began coursing through my veins. I was taken aback by my own anger, trying to keep it out of my voice. "I can't. I'm. Sorry."

"Why not? Cullen's gone, you could use a night out. Word has it you and your friend from the Res aren't hanging out much lately either.

"You're wrong!" I shouted. Jacob's eyes were wide and he walked slowly toward me.

"Really? Oh, I'm...I'm sorry Bella I didn't know." Mike seemed just as much taken aback as Jacob was at my outburst. Where was this anger coming from?

"Yea really Mike, Jacob and I are completely opposite from not speaking, he's my boyfriend, now why don't you run along to everyone else and spread the newest gossip on crazy Bella!"

"Ok I'll-" I slammed the phone back onto the receiver before he finished. I was so angry.

"Bella," Jacob gasped. I followed his gaze down to my trembling hands.

"WHAT!" I snarled. He grabbed me around the middle and pelted for the back door. Just outside I felt my body explode from itself.
