You know you love me. Review.

EDPOV

The six of us, Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice and I all crammed into Emmett's jeep on the way to the funeral. We were all silent the whole drive there. I looked out the window as I saw the Welcome to Forks sign and sighed. Would the pack give us any trouble? Well, I didn't know.

We pulled up outside the church and went in. We walked down the aisle and sat in the front next to Renee and Charlie. Renee's face was red. It looked like she had been crying a lot lately, and I didn't blame her. I guess it was our fault her daughter was 'dead.'

A horrible smell filled my nostrils and I shuddered. They were here.

Who's stinking up the place, I wonder… Rosalie.

They're right behind us… Alice.

Don't worry, Edward… Esme.

YOU'LL PAY FOR TAKING HER, EDWARD – WITH YOUR LIFE!... Jacob.

Filthy BLOODSUCKERS… Leah. What was she doing at Bella's funeral?

WATCH YOUR BACK, BLOODSUCKER!... Jacob.

I sighed. All I could do was try to ignore them.

The Cullen's are here… and I don't even recognise half of the other people here. What sort of a mother am I?... Renee.

It was hard ignoring the voices in my head. I hated that. I hated that everyone's thoughts filled my mind so that my mind was so clouded I didn't even have space to think on my own.

The minister started and I tried to concentrate on Bella's face in my mind. I was going to go home to her and we would get as far away as possible from Forks… from the pack… from Jacob.

Bet you love this. Watching everyone grieve over a girl that's not even dead. And if you hadn't ruined her life and succumbed her, she'd still be a normal human being with a normal happy life. You destroyed her… Jacob again. As much as I hated to admit it, he was right. I was… I was a monster. I had ruined Bella's life. But would she have been better off with a werewolf than a vampire? What was the difference?

I LIKE ROSE'S BREASTS AND I CANNOT LIE, YOU OTHER BLONDES CAN'T DENY… Rosalie. Now where had I heard that song before? Ah, yes. From Emmett. I hoped he was okay with Bella…

"Bella?"

"What?"

"Will you play uno?" asked Emmett, pleadingly. I sighed and put my empty bowl of blood onto the floor.

"Why don't you get one of the others to play when they get back from the funeral?" I asked. I wasn't in the mood to play uno. What if Jacob was ripping Edward's flesh off as we spoke?

"Well… how about an arm wrestle? You're a newborn, so there's no way you could beat THE EMMETT."

I giggled.

"Of course," I grinned. We walked over to the coffee table and put our right elbows on it. We joined hands and the fight was on. This was all new to me, and it was strange to see Emmett straining to move my hand, when I wasn't even doing anything. I sighed, and with one swift movement, I knocked Emmett's hand straight through the coffee table. I jumped up at once and remembered what Edward had once said about Esme's wrath when Jasper and Emmett had broken past coffee tables.

Emmett broke the silence with a slight chuckle.

"Oh," I groaned.

"It's going to be pretty hard to get a replacement before they get back," said Emmett simply. He looked down at his watch. "Which will be really soon."

I groaned, before an idea struck me.

"Wait, Emmett! All of the coffee tables in this place are the same!" I exclaimed. Emmett frowned.

"You're going to steal a coffee table from some human's room?" he asked, as if this was the worst thing possible. I ignored him.

"No, of course not!" I said quickly. "We'll just swap Esme's table with the table in mine and Edward's room."

There was a knock on the door. Unthinkingly, I raced over to answer it. As I opened the door, I let out a gasp. It wasn't Edward, as I had hoped, it was Spencer. I felt my throat burning. I did not move. Spencer's eyes flickered to mine.

"Contacts," I said simply. It was the best explanation I could think of for my dangerous newborn eyes. I felt Emmett come up behind me and grasp my shoulders firmly. He was probably thinking that I would try something…

"Yes… well, madam, I heard a… loud disturbance coming from in here, and I was wondering if… all was well?" he said, rather rudely. So in other words, he was just stickybeaking?

"That was me," lied Emmett from behind me, not bothering to give Spencer an explanation. Spencer looked up at Emmett and gulped.

"Of course, well… I'll… just… leave you be."

Spencer nodded once and we watched him walking down the corridor. Emmett closed the door quickly and turned to me, grinning.

"Wow, Bella! I was wondering whether you were going to eat him for a minute there!" he said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe I won't be a crazed newborn, after all."

EDPOV

I stood up and walked up to the front of the church for my reading. I cleared my throat and tried to ignore the thoughts coming from the werewolves. I didn't need paper; I had learnt it off by heart.

"Isabella Cullen will always be remembered as the new girl in Forks. Even though I've only known her two years, the memory of her clings to me like a monkey clings to his tree. I loved Isabella, and I still do. She meant the world to me, she was my everything. She had a healthy relationship with my family, and we will always love her as she loved us. And as of a few months ago, she and I were married. We were both happy. There were no regrets."

The last part was thrown in for Jacob's benefit. He needed to understand. His wild theories annoyed me. Bella and I were both happy together and there were no regrets. I ignored the cursing coming from Jacob and continued with my reading.

"She was everything I could ever ask for. I loved her more than anything. I would have given my life to keep her on this Earth. But we will always remember her in our hearts, we will not forget."

I walked back down to the pew and took up my seat in front of Jacob.

You piece of….

I tried to focus on Esme's thoughts instead of Jacob's.

You did well, Edward. Ignore them, all of them. Bella loves you more than anything. She chose you over him. Remember that.

Esme smiled warmly at me as she looked into my eyes sadly. I sighed as we all stood to leave. I caught a tearful Renee by the shoulder.

"Renee, I'm so sorry."

Renee coughed and looked into my eyes. It pained me to look at her. She was suffering a great deal, all because of me and my family being what we are. Renee's face was red and tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked awful.

"Bella…" was all she could say, before being taken away by Phil. I sighed as I approached Charlie, who was standing next to Billy Black. Ignoring Billy's hateful glare, I turned to Charlie.

"I'm so sorry, Charlie."

He sighed and looked at me.

"She loved you," he said sadly. "She loved you more than anything. I could tell…"

I sighed.

"Are you going to the burial?" asked Billy, coldly.

"No, my family and I must be moving along. Carlisle has yet another job offer, elsewhere…"

I was careful not to tell him where we were going. A pack of wolves on our tail was not needed.

Billy grunted and I nodded once to Charlie, before walking over to Rosalie and the others.

We must move quickly, Edward. What is their plan of action? Carlisle.

For the first time that day, I focused completely on Jacob's thoughts. He was following us closely with the pack.

You'll pay, you filthy little bloodsucker! YOU'LL PAY! YOU'LL PAY FOR HER!

Jacob's thoughts made me flinch as we moved outside. The jeep was insight. We quickened our pace a little, but so did the werewolves.

When we were out of sight from the mourners, Jacob and his pack got closer.

"Where are you going, Cullen? Off to drain Bella of her life?" he asked, impatiently. And then I lost it. I turned and looked him in the full.

"She's one of us now, Jacob. I changed her of her own free will."

"Edward!" shouted Rosalie. In an instant, I felt two pairs of arms restraining me.

"Leave," hissed Rosalie.

"Where's Bella?" demanded Jacob. "WHERE IS SHE?"

She's not one of YOU. You're lying, and I know it. Where is she? You know I'll find her, Edward. I'll snatch her from you so fast that you won't even notice her absence. And there'll be no hope for her saviour, Edward. None whatsoever. I will find her. I will protect her. No matter what, I will have her. And you and your family will DIE for what your brother did to Paul.

I shuddered, and turn and ran into the open door of the jeep, closely followed by Rosalie. I shut the door and Carlisle drove off into the distance.

"Edward, what were you thinking?" snarled Rosalie. "You know he only wants a reason to start a fight!"

I sighed and looked out of the window. Jacob's thoughts scarred me. I had to get Bella as far away from him as possible.

BPOV

The door burst open and Esme, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper and Rosalie walked in. But where was Edward? From the sad looks on their faces, I could easily tell that something had happened. They had encountered the wolves, no doubt.

"Where's Edward?" I asked Rosalie, as she walked into Emmett's arms.

"He's coming. We told him not to come up until he had his head cleared."

'Had his head cleared'? What did that mean?

"Did it… how was it?" I asked anyone who was listening.

"It was… okay," said Jasper. Rosalie snorted.

"Did you forget the whole 'funeral' thing, Jasper?" she asked angrily. "And the whole Edward versus Jacob ordeal outside the church?"

"What happened?" I demanded of her. I wanted to hear it from Edward, but he was nowhere to be seen. And besides, I knew I would get the truth from Rosalie, no matter how bad that truth may be.

"They were all there," came a familiar velvety voice from the doorway. I grinned at Edward and ran into his outstretched arms.

"Are you okay?" I muttered into his chest. He sighed.

"Yes, I'm fine. Jacob was… no, Alice, of course not. Anyway, Bella, it's nothing to worry about. Just a little confrontation between Jacob and myself."

I sighed. He complained about me editing my thoughts!

"But it was more than that, wasn't it?" I pushed. He looked away. That answered my question.

"What happened? Please, Edward. Tell me the truth. What happened outside of the church? Rosalie said it was an 'Edward versus Jacob ordeal.' It would have been more than a 'confrontation.' I can tell."

Edward frowned at Rosalie.

"Rosalie likes to… over exaggerate things."

"Tell her, Edward. Tell her everything. Why must you lie to her?" growled Rosalie. I wanted to gasp out loud. Since when did Rosalie stick up for me? We had never really been on good terms over the last two years. But perhaps she was beginning to change her mind about me.

"Okay, okay," sighed Edward in defeat. "Jacob confronted me after the funeral, out of view from the humans. He was demanding to know where you were, and he told me he would 'have' you, no matter what. And he told me that my family would soon be dead."

I gasped. Jacob had said that? What had happened to the loving, caring Jacob I remembered from my human life? I guess the old saying was true. People do change.

I'm ending it there. I could write more, but I'll save it for the next chapter, hm? I didn't really like Edward's reading… so please review me on that so I know if it was okay. If it wasn't, I might have to change it. But you guys decide, so let me know. Please review! I love coming home every afternoon and seeing the odd review in my inbox. It makes my day. :)
