Hi everyone! first i would like to say a huge Thank You too: Lover of Literature - you're review was ... amazing, to say the least. It made my head swell up to 20X it's normal size =] but then i was faced with the task of writing a third chapter. Under any other circumstance it wouldnt have been a problem, but i found my standards were so high that i was struggling to reach them. So i would like to apoligize if i have ruined this story, i guess i might have tried too hard.
But Thank you 'Lover of Literature' you're kind words made my day/week.

Please tell me if i have gone overboard. I will try and update again soon. =]
Thank you all for reviewing! Love you all for it!

I flew along the quiet Portland streets; the only sound was the roar of the motorcycle.
Carlisle's expression was lodged in my head, shock, horror and even sadness.
It was easy enough to see they didn't come looking for me, maybe they expected me to stay in Forks my whole life. I pushed those thoughts out of my mind, I couldn't think about them.

Bella, slow down! You are going to fast. A familiar voice said loud and clear.
This was the first time I got angry about hearing his beautiful voice; it made me mad to think of him.
Why did he have to show up now? Now, when I had just started accepting that I was going to be alone. Now I was doing what I always done, I ran.

Back to Forks, back to my old life; back to nothing but memories.

The flash of a black car caught my attention. The car was driving along side me, the tinted windows so dark I couldn't see anyone inside. But I already knew who was inside; he was inside, most likely driving.
I inched down the accelerator and took off ahead of the car, twisting around the sharp bends towards freedom.
I could see the car in my mirrors, staying close behind me; I pushed the bike faster trying to escape.
Couldn't he see me trying to get away? Couldn't he take the hint? I didn't want to see him… at least; I don't think I do anyway.
I spun around the street corner, only slowing once I could see our house. I pulled into the garage and left the bike running.
One fleeting glance over my shoulder confirmed the black car hadn't turned the corner yet. I was in my room in an instant, shoving clothes in the giant bag. I ran back down the stairs, to leave Jacob a note, explaining my sudden need to leave.

Jacob…
I'm sorry to leave suddenly. I know it's not fair on you. Please don't be angry, I couldn't stay.
I'm sorry Jake.

Love you.

Bella

I left the note on the table and went back to the rumbling motorcycle.
I pulled on my helmet, hauled the heavy bag onto my shoulders, took a deep breath then flew out the garage doors and along the wet streets.
There was no sign of the glossy black car. Maybe they left? Relief and hurt passed through me at that moment.
I was thinking of Jake, and how I had put him through hell the last 15months, but he never left. He promised he wouldn't and he kept that promise, he never gave up on me. A horrible memory passed through my muddled thoughts,

"If I ever saw him again Bells, I would kill him. No questions asked, no matter who was around,"

He couldn't have been serious, could he?
I thought back to that night in La Push; he had nothing but sincerity in his eyes.
My stomach lurched and then tightened into a knot, I slammed on the brakes and spun the bike around, heading straight for the college car park.
He has to be okay…he has to be. I chanted over and over.

I leaned into the last turn, taking it faster than I ever had. Finally I broke into the busy car park, my eyes raking over the last place I had seen the trembling Jacob.

Then I saw them, there was a small grouping circled around two people, Jacob and Carlisle. Even from a distance I could notice the tension, Jacob's hands and arms were shaking so much they were a blur.
There were too many students for the bike to get through, so I took off on foot, pushing my way through the lunch rush. I could make out the cussing and irritated sighs as I thrust forward.

Finally I could hear the familiar voices, one bell like the other deep and husky.
I continued to battle my way further, then I broke through the bystanders, and into the small circle Jacob and Carlisle were standing in.
Carlisle had his hands up defensively, but there were two people standing on either side of him, Emmett and Jasper; both of them staring intently at Jake.
A massive shudder ripped through Jacob's shoulders and down his spine. I rushed to his side. As I did, I could feel all their eyes piercing into me. If they didn't know I was here before, then they certainty knew now.
"Jake…" My voice seemed to snap him out of his trance.
He turned slightly in my direction but he didn't look at me, his eyes were flicking between the three Cullen's.

"Bella," Jacob sighed.

"Jake, you need to calm down. There are people watching," I murmured only loud enough for Jacob and the Cullen's to hear. Jacob's arms and hands were still shaking noticeably.

"Bella get away from it!" A voice I hadn't heard in 15months growled. This time it wasn't a voice in my head, it was real; he was real. Right in front of me.
My dormant heart seemed to wake from its sleep and thump a disjointed rhythm.

I couldn't turn around; I didn't want to see his face.
A growl rumbled from deep in Jacob's chest, but that seemed to irritate him more, because he growled back.

"Edward… stop," Carlisle spoke behind me.

I needed to get out of here, and get Jake away from the public, so I stood directly in front of Jacob, my back facing Carlisle, so I could block his path to them.

That seemed to aggravate Edward more, in an instant I felt something colder than ice take me arm, pulling me backwards.

"Edward!" Carlisle snapped. I tried to pull me arm free but it did no good, so I turned around, reluctantly to face him.

He was exactly the same, his eyes golden brown but washed over with anger.
A perfect face, an inhuman face, a beautiful face.
I wondered what he saw when he looked at me after 15 months, did he see the old Bella? Or does he see the differences?
Jacob took my other arm and tugged me back to him, but Edward kept a hold on my other arm.

"Let her go!" Jacob snarled.

"You're not in control mongrel," Edward said in an even tone.

This was not like an average game of tug-oh-war; instead I was being pulled apart by two mythical creatures, it felt like déjà vu. Both of them were trying to be gently but my arms still hurt.

It seemed stupid for them to be fighting, especially over me. I guess nothing had changed.

"'..Leech." Jacob said in a low menacing tone.
"You will hurt her dog!" Edward retorted.

That was my breaking point. I was sick of them both trying to SAVE me, especially when I didn't need to be saved.

I pulled away from both of them, trying to free myself, of course they didn't let me go, so I turned and glared at the both of them.

"Let me go," I hissed, my eyes flicking between the both of them. They still didn't release their grips.

"I said…let me go, right now!" Jacob tightened his grip a little then let my arm drop, wise of him. I turned to Edward, looking at his smouldering eyes, and ignoring the whispering between the audience.

"Please let me go."

His hand squeezed my wrist a little but he didn't let go.

"He's dangerous," He murmured, jerking his head in Jacob's direction.
"You don't get to decide who I am with any more, and you certainly do not get to touch me! You lost all you're rights when you left me."

The pain was visible in his eyes; I couldn't bear to see it so I dropped my eyes to his hand holding my wrist.

"Let me go" I whispered, and he did, he let me go.
I looked around at the massive group of students, all murmuring to each other and eyeing up Jacob and Edward. Probably trying to figure out what was happening.

My eyes fell upon a beautiful, yet sad face staring at me from behind Jasper.
Her eyes were an echo of her brothers, pain and sadness.
She stepped forward her hand slightly raised to me, I shook my head, fighting to keep the tears at bay.

Jacob wrapped his arms around me but I shrugged out from under it. I didn't need to be comforted; I didn't want to be.

"Bella…" I turned to see Carlisle coming towards me.

"Bella, I'm sorry. Truly I am," He said in a soft tone. He put a hand on Edwards shoulder, comforting him.

"Me too," I said in a shaky tone, then turned around and walked away, disappearing into the crowd of students.

I finally found my motorcycle, there were a few boys standing around admiring it.
I slipped past them, took my bag and helmet and pulled them on, ignoring the pointing and talking.

"Bella… we need to talk," I looked up too see Edward standing in front of my bike.

I tried not to look at his eyes too long, afraid of what it will do to me later.
I started the engine, keeping my eyes firmly on the ground.

"Wait…please," I managed to hear him over the roar of the bike.

He reached out to stop my hand but thought better of it and let it drop.

"Bella, please."

"What do you have to say?" I managed to keep an even voice.

"I need to explain why I left. I need you to understand…and I need to apologize." He couldn't see my face through the tinted helmet but he could definitely hear my racing heartbeat.

"Can we go somewhere a little less…public?" he glanced around at the growing audience. Most of them were girls watching Edward with lust filled eyes.

"No, you can say what you have to say,"

"Please?" he urged.

"Fine, my house at 3'oclock. But Jacob will be there also" I warned.

He smiled my favourite crooked smile and nodded. I could hear the thundering of Jacob's motorcycle coming up behind me.

I started to edge forward but Edward didn't move.

"I need to get past"

"Can you not…ride that thing? It very unsafe."

"I'll keep that in mind." I snorted.

Jacob pulled up beside me, glowering at Edward. "Need some help?" he growled.

"No, I'm fine…Let's go," Edward stepped slightly to the side so I could now pass.

I noticed his hands clench into fists as I took off ahead of Jacob.

Today was … eventful to say the least. All my worst nightmares and all my pleasantest dreams were rolled into one morning.

Now, I had invited Edward over. I don't even know why I accepted his request. I was angry with him still, and right now I was gearing myself up for another heartbreak.

How am I supposed to forgive someone I still love unconditionally but hate for hurting me?
