There was a knock on the door as Spencer came in.
"There's a man downstairs. He wishes to see you. He said he means no harm. His name is… um… it starts with a J. I can't quite remember," he said, before turning around and walking out. I gasped and turned to Edward.
"It's him!" I gasped. Edward sighed.
"I don't know how he found us, but you won't ever have to face Jacob Black in my lifetime."
"Maybe we should," I suggested. Edward froze.
"It's too dangerous! And you're a newborn, there's too many humans down there!"
"When Spencer came in before," said Emmett, "Bella didn't react at all."
Edward sighed.
"You really want to see him?"
I nodded.
"Maybe I can make him see sense. At least let me try!" I begged. He took my hand in his.
"Jasper, Carlisle, accompany us."
I grinned. He had given in to my desperate pleas. Jasper and Carlisle accompanied us down the stairs, Alice had given me some brown contacts and told me to hold my breath. Jacob was standing in the middle of the room. It was packed with humans. I ignored the burning in my throat. Jacob gasped when he saw me.
"You… you changed her?" he whispered, turning his head away from me.
"Please, Jacob," I said, taking a step closer.
He looked up at me, sighing.
"Bella… I… I followed your bloodsuckers here. I had to see… had to know…"
"Had to know what?" I demanded. Edward growled.
"If what he said was true. If you were really gone…" finished Jacob, not meeting my eyes.
"But I am here, Jake!" I exclaimed. "No matter who or what I am, I'll always be clumsy little Bella."
"I'm sorry, Bella. The pack want their revenge. Emmett killed Paul," he told me. I rolled my eyes.
"No, he didn't. Paul crossed the line first, and tried to attack Emmett. Emmett was defending himself. Paul's death was an accident," I told him. I had to convince him, I needed to rid the Cullen's of danger.
"Charlie was so upset today, even for him. Thinking you were dead… well, Charlie's tough. But he's still tortured inside, Bella. He was right to try and keep you away from Edward. He knew what was coming. We all did."
His words burned a whole in my heart.
"Charlie…" I whispered. "Oh, Charlie…"
"Don't push her," warned Edward. Jacob ignored him.
"I'll try and talk to the pack, okay? But I'm not making any promises. There's nine of them, and one of me. I just don't care anymore, Bella. I am nothing, I have nothing. You were my everything. I needed you, and… you left."
"I had no choice!" I whispered. "You were all going to kill the Cullen's, remember? I had to go… I just had to."
"Goodbye, Bella. I don't know who you are anymore. You don't, either. No one does. Whoever you are, you aren't Bella."
He turned and disappeared into the sunset. I collapsed into Edward's arms, waiting for the tears to come, but they did not come.
Jacob was right. He was nothing, and I was nothing. My world had fallen apart. I couldn't live without Edward, and I couldn't live without Jacob. I was torn both ways. I wasn't whole.
I was nothing.

And… that's the end! It took me a long time to get the end up, even though it was so short. This chapter was very emotional. You can figure out what happens next for yourselves :) Bella loved Jacob, and Bella loved Edward. There were two pieces of Bella, Jacob and Edward. Without Jacob, one piece of her, she wasn't whole. She was nothing.
