Chapter Three-Back to Reality

I awoke gasping for air. " I want to marry Edward though dad! Please don't try and change my mind.""No Jacob stay! Stay my Jacob! I'll miss you so much, I love you Jake."

Then I realized I was actually awake. Where am I? Why is my bed so hard? I opened my eyes, I was in the forest beside the big tree. I was just dreaming, then why was I in the forest?

"Bella!" Someone was calling my name. "Bella Where are you?" It was Edward.

"I'm over hear!" I tried to yell, but I couldn't.I saw two figures walking towards me. It was Edward and……? Was it Charlie? Maybe but he hasn't said anything, he probably thinks I'm crying.

"Bells are you ok?" Charlie asked. They were both standing over me now. Edward scooped me up in his arms, trying to look a little weaker than he really is.

" I think I'm fine, I don't remember what happened though, I just had a bad dream, and I woke up wondering why I'm here."I looked around the forest and padded the ground while talking, I never gazed bake at Edward.

"Bella love, do you want me to tell you what happened?" Edward asked just in case I didn't want to hear what happened. I tried to think positive, I was trying to decide if I actually had a dream or not.

"Sure, I guess." I answered still looking around the forest. What was I looking for?

"Well I was telling Charlie that we were getting married when we heard you yelling at Jacob." He began, he was also looking around the forest. " A few minutes after Jacob told me, only me, that he was taking you away. But he told Charlie, that you were outside crying because he left. We believed the one he told Charlie so we began looking for you, and here we are."

I-I was looking around the forest because….I was looking for JACOB!!!!

"Oh" I wasn't quite sure what I was going to say. My emoticons talked for me.

"He really did l-leave for…..ever…."I said through my sobs. " It wasn't a bad dream, he actually left!" I was pretty sure this wasn't I dream.

I didn't notice but all of a sudden we were all in the living room, on the sofa.

"Bella its going to be all right, maybe you will get lucky and see Jacob again." I could hear the pain in Edwards voice, even though I was crying really loudly, I heard the way I hurt him. That made me cry even more.

"Shhhhhh…." He began humming my lullaby, but it didn't work this time I was wide awake crying because Jacob has left my life…..Forever.

I finally stopped crying. "Where's Charlie? Is he ok? Is he ok about us getting married?"

As soon as I said that, Charlie walked into the room.

"Yes Bella I'm ok." He answered one of my three questions. " And about your marriage, I'm ok with it, sort of. I phoned Renee and told her about it, she's a little disappointed but she'll be at the wedding."

A rush of excitement went through me. I stood up and hugged Charlie. "Thanks dad…and mom."I still had a question, for myself. Jacobs gone, so who's going to be the best man

"Jacobs gone." I said to myself but I noticed I said it out loud

I heard Edward sigh. "Yes Bella and I'm sorry he left you."

"No Edward, the reason I said that was because we don't have a best man anymore."

"Oh." Edward sounded sort of relieved.

Mike Newton, His name was crossing my head all morning.

"Mike can be the best man." I decided that was sort of a good idea.

"Fine, if that makes you happy." Edward sighed.

"Ok." I got my way.

"But Bella, why Mike Newton?" He said his name in a disgusted voice.

"Well, because I don't know." I actually knew why, but should I tell Edward.

"Oh come on Bella you know that you know why you chose him."

"Yeah. Its because…Well he was in my dream and then his name was in my mind all morning, and I think that's why."

"Oh I see." He sounded upset, he was hiding his face from me.

"What?" I was confused, what did he think?

"Now that Jacob left….You well you like…Mike now, instead of Jacob."

"Ewwww…..Edward no….I only love you.. And Jake, but Mike Newton!!!" I was so disgusted, Mike is only a friend! "What were you thinking."

"Oh well I don't know, it just seemed like that."

"Ok."

" Lets go to the meadow. Ok?"

"Anything's ok if you're involved, you're my world, of course its ok." I wanted to sound romantic after having that awkward conversation, I want Edward to see how much I love him. "Dad were leaving"

"Ok Bells have a good time." Charlie was in the kitchen probably pretending to read the newspaper but actually eavesdropping.

I ran into the kitchen and gave Charlie a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much dad for not freaking out."

"Your welcome." He smiled as I walked out of the room.
