I wrote this entire chapter while wearing sunglasses at 9:30pm hah. Enjoy!

Jacob had easily tied me to an old, rough tree using a freshly grown vine. I tried to wiggle out but I only managed to hurt my wrists in my desperate weakness. I whipped my head around hoping to spot anyone but my heart dropped as I saw the still forest.

"It's okay Bells, I'm here." Jacob persuaded smoothing out my hair with tender love. He dropped his hands and sighed while rubbing his face. He slowly sat upon the ground, twigs snapping under his weight. Time stood alone and nothing was here.

"Bella, can't you understand the life you could have with me?" He pleaded looking into my eyes. I turned my face away but he suddenly got up. He turned my face back to his with a gentle, but firm force. "Please just listen." He slumped back down to the ground when he was sure I would keep looking at him.

"With me Bells, you don't have to experience unbearable pain and risk death. You are too young and too beautiful to die in such hurt." He remarked, tears in his eyes. "You don't have to say goodbye to your family until their deaths, you can see them every day along with your friends. The Cullens could ever visit you, I wouldn't mind at all."

I stared at him, Jacob was pleading with me to take him instead. But why couldn't he understand that I love Edward and not him. "I know Jacob, but I love Edward so much that he's worth it. I want you to still be my friend, can't you accept that?" I replied, hoping that in some way he might understand.

"You could ever have children; we could have a family together. We'll grow old together, loving each other every day. Why don't you just try being with me, just so you see." Jacob answered getting up. He walked behind my and untied the vines soothingly and rubbed my wrists which stung from the vines. He took my hands and looked directly into my eyes.

Edward's POV
 I was so close that I could smell that dog and my sweet Bella. So close, I'll crush his skull for how dare he even think to touch Bella. I could hear his mind; he wanted Bella to leave me. But suddenly he started to become calm, much less violent. Though, he had Bella tied up so he was still a threat. Bella would hate it but it was the only way.
Then I slowly came to a complete stop as I stood fifty yards behind them. Bella was trying to take control of the situation. Was this the only way for her to grow without him?

Bella's POV
I knew the words Jacob wanted me to say. The words were bursting in my vocal chords, just so I could stop all of this. But, no, Edward was the only one for me, this could only end one way and I despised it.

"Jake please just try seeing that I choose Edward, I'm in love with him." I said carefully, I didn't want to set him off again.

"The eternal months that he was gone away from me; was your try with me, but all I could do was remember my love, Edward in the back of my mind. He's forever changed my being, and believe me when I say it, you will find someone who loves you. Someone who will be there for you as Edward has been there for me."
Jacob gradually looked away from me and into the trees. Soon I could hear animals moving around in the woods. He turned back and gave me a small peck on my cheek before fully turning around. He unhurriedly began walking into the opposite direction, never even glancing back until he was out of site, as if he was a ghost, a ghost of mine.

I awaited the tears to fall out of my eyes but they never came. I heard a soft noise behind me and turned around to see Edward making his way toward me. I heard the pack far away, going in another direction. Edward had a worn smile on his face of reassurance. As he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a diminutive hug. He was as careful as always as he pressed his frozen lips against mine. My heart fluttered as I was back in familiar arms.

"You handled him well love, you weren't terrified at all." Edward whispered in my ear. I put my head delicately on his shoulder and answered back.

"At first I was but I think I realize that I can't save everyone." Edward pulled back and gave me a heartbreaking smile.

"It's something all vampires become conscious of when they choose their dark path. I wish I could save you from it, but I cannot and for that I'm sorry. I love you Isabella Swan, nothing will ever change that."

"I will always love you Edward, don't ever leave me." I choked up and he picked me and began walking into the woods.
