A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! WARNING: JACOB FANS DO NOT READ THIS CHAPTER! THIS CHAPTER WILL HAVE SOME JACOB BASHING IN IT SO DO NOT READ IF YOUR A JACOB FAN!

After the funeral everyone went back to the Cullen's. Bella just sat on the couch with the others and cuddled close to Edward's side. Tons of people came over to tell her how sorry they were and tried to start a conversation about her father but she just buried her face in Edward's side and ignored them. She didn't want to hear anything they had to say.

Phil came over to them with a plate of little snacks.

"Here, you need to eat. You haven't eaten anything all day."

Bella just hid her face.

"Come on, Bella, I know you've been rude and ignoring people all day but don't ignore me. I am technically your new father."

Bella flinched when he said that.

"Thanks for the food, we will make sure she eats it." Edward said. He took the plate from him and set it down on the coffee table in front of him. Phil sighed and walked away.

"Jasper?" Edward asked.

He shook his head. "Don't, she's not hungry."

He looked to Alice, she shook her head too. "If she eats anything right now it's just going to come right back up in a few minutes."

Edward nodded. He kissed Bella on the head and wrapped his arms tighter around her. She cuddled even closer to him. "You don't have to do anything you don't want. If you want to just sit here and cuddle me you can." He whispered to her.

She relaxed against him and let out a content sigh. She felt a wave of calm wash over her. She smiled softly. "Thank you, Jasper."

He chuckled. "You're welcome, Bella."

Suddenly there was strong scent that burned Edward's nose. He knew that stink anywhere and he had to try really hard not to growl.

Phil came over to them with Jacob Black by his side.

"You have a visitor, Bella." Phil said.

With that he walked away. Jacob walked over and knelt down in front of Bella. He put his hand on her knee. She tensed.

"I'm sorry about your dad, Bella. I know it must be really hard to lose someone you love so suddenly. I'm grateful it wasn't my dad."

Bella hid her face in Edward's side. She just whimpered.

"Don't be like that Bella. Come on, I'm just trying to be nice."

"Normally, I'd jump in joy that she is ignoring you but honestly I'm going to say don't take it personally. She's been like this to everyone." Edward said.

Suddenly Bella looked up. "He should take it personally! This is personal!"

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked.

"Where were you?"

"When?"

"When I was doing one of the hardest things in my life, one of the worst things I've ever had to do, the one time in my life when I needed both you and Edward, one hour ago when I was forced to say goodbye to my father, where were you? Why weren't you there for me? You promised to be my best friend and you promised to never hurt me but you lied!"She pushed his hands off her knee. He tried to put it back but she pushed him away again. "Don't touch me! Where were you?"

"I was busy." He answered.

"With what?"

"I was…doing something important"

"More, important than being there for me?"

"Yes, much more important than you."

Edward growled. "There is NOTHING in this world that is more important than being there for Bella."

"Maybe for you, because you have no life, but I had something very important to take care of."

"What was it? Bella asked.

"I was fixing my motorcycle."

"That's it?"

"Well, I couldn't have gotten here without it could I?"

Bella shook her head angry tears spilling down her cheeks. "You can run faster than any normal human Jacob! You don't need a stupid bike!"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you promised to be there for me and you weren't."

"I'm here now."

"I don't want you here! Get out of here!"

"Come on, Bella." He put his hand on her knee again and she lost it.

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME! JUST GET AWAY FROM ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed.

She jumped up and ran out the door.

"Bella!" Renee called.

"It's ok, I know where she is going. I'll go after her." Edward said.

Once he was outside and away from everyone's sight. He took off running. He could see Bella in his sight after a minute but didn't catch her. He let her run, knowing they'd both end up in the same place.

Finally they arrived at their meadow. Bella dropped to her knees and cried. Edward was by her side in an instant holding her in his arms.

"I hate him, Edward! I hate him!" she screamed through tears.

"I know baby, I know. I'm so sorry."

Normally, Edward would smile at her hate for Jacob but this was breaking his heart to hear her in so much pain.

She cried into Edward's chest as he just held her and comforted her the best that he could.

After a few minutes they sat just holding each other. Bella was sitting in between Edward's legs with her back pressed to his chest as he wrapped his arms around her waist, letting her head just rest on his shoulder. He gently rocked her side to side.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Better, I'm sorry, I just needed to get away from everyone."

"From everyone, or from Jacob?"

"Jacob, what kind of friend would rather fix a bike then come to support their friend at their father's funeral?"

"Not, a very good one. I'm sorry, I always feared Jacob would hurt you, I just had no idea it would be like this."

"It isn't your fault. You've tried to warn me but I didn't listen."

"It isn't your fault either. All the blame is on Jacob. It's his fault."

Bella nodded. "Can we stay here till it gets dark?"

"Sure," Edward answered giving her a kiss on the forehead. "But I need to call home and let them know you're safe."

Bella nodded. After a quick phone call Edward just rocked Bella side to side as he softly hummed to her. Bella felt, peaceful and relaxed, something she hadn't felt in a long time. It actually made her fall sleep. Which made Edward smile. He lifted her up and slowly made his way back home.

When he got home all the guest had left.

"How is she?" Renee asked.

"Better, she just really needed to get away. I'm just going to take her upstairs to bed."

Renee nodded and Edward went upstairs. He laid down in bed keeping Bella close in his arms, knowing if he just laid her down by herself she'd wake up upset. He kissed her head and leaned his head back closing his eyes. He couldn't sleep but it always relaxed him to just lay like that.

The next morning Bella stirred but didn't open her eyes. She smiled when she felt Edward placing gentle kisses on her face.

"I know you're awake." He whispered to her. "Are you going to open those beautiful eyes for me?"

She felt him press two gentle kisses to each of her close eye lids. She giggled and opened her eyes.

"Morning, Beautiful."

Morning." She greeted.

"Sleep ok?"

She nodded. "No, nightmares."

"That's always good."

"Can we just spend the morning in bed cuddling?"

"Of course."

Bella smiled and cuddled closer to him resting her head on his chest.

"Edward, do you have any memories of you and your dad…your real dad?"

"Not many, I can only remember the few minutes before my change. Everything else is kind of a blur. Why?"

"Just curious."

"If you want to talk about Charlie we can."

She shook her head. "I was just asking."

"There is no harm in talking about about him."

"It won't bring him back."

"Neither will avoiding, talking about him isn't the worst thing you can do. It might make you feel better."

"No, it's too soon. It's too soon to talk about him."

"Ok, then we don't have to, but you know you can tell me anything at any time and I'll be there to listen."

She nodded. "Thank you, I love you."

"I love you too."

He kissed her head and she cuddled into him. He gently traced his fingers up and down her back. He moved closer to her sides and she giggled, burring her face into his chest to muffle her giggles. He chuckled but continued. She giggled more.

"Stop!"

"Nope."

She giggled harder when his fingers got to her stomach.

"Edward, stop tickling."

"I don't think so."

He moved his hand under her shirt making her scream in laughter as his ice cold hands came in contact with her warm skin.

"Stop!" she choked out in laughter. `

Edward stopped. "Say the magic words."

"Edward Cullen is the hottest and sexiest 109 year old I ever met."

"Thank you," Edward chuckled.

"Thank you for always making me feel better." Bella said.

"Anytime, my Lovely."

They shared a gentle kiss on the lips. Phil walked in.

"Time to go." He said.

"Go? Go where/?" Bella asked.

"Home, of course, we can't stay here forever. Your mother and I will be moving into your old house so you can stay in Forks."

"But, I want to stay here. I'm not ready to go home."

"Well, ready or not, cause the time has come."

"Can Edward come with us?"

"His family has their own plans. I'll give you a minute to pack your things and say your goodbyes. Meet your mother and I downstairs."

Phil left and Bella sighed. "I'm not ready to go home, Edward. I'm not ready to see Charlie's stuff and his room…all the memories."

"It will be ok. I'll come through your window once I've done hunting but honestly Bella, I need to hunt."

Bella nodded. "I understand, Just promise to come see me after."

"Of course, if you want just wait in your room. We can go see Charlie's room together."

"I'd like that."

They shared a kiss and packed up Bella's things.

When they got home, Bella walked in and the second she did she felt like she just stepped onto the moon without a space suit. All the air had been sucked out of her. All the memoires were overpowering her, everything she looked out set her reeling into a flashback of her father and she couldn't handle it.

"So, Bella how about a tour?" Phil asked.

"It's all right, Phil, I can give you a tour." Renee said.

"No, no, I want the grand tour from Bella."

"No, I can't!" Bella whimpered.

She ran upstairs and into her bedroom. She slammed the door and panted trying to catch her breath.

She slid down against the door and just calmed herself down. She could hear her mother coming up the stairs and showing off each room. Finally they reached Charles's room.

"This is the biggest room in the house isn't it?" she heard Phil ask.

"Yeah, it is why?" Renee answered.

"Well, what do you say about selling all this junk and turning this room into an office, and we're taking the guest room."

"WHAT!" Bella screamed.

She yanked opened her door and went into the hall.

"One, this stuff isn't junk! It belonged to my father and you can't just sell it!"

"Honey, we understand you want to keep some of your father's stuff and that's fine, but we can't keep everything your father ever owned. We need to get rid of his things, or at least package them up and put them into storage."

"Why?"

"Because, otherwise it's going to sit here and collect dust. Phil and I need this room, so we need his stuff out. Now Phil and I will give you today and tomorrow you can come in here and take whatever you want. After that Phil and I are going to be cleaning it out and getting rid of it."

Bella just shook her head as tears filled her eyes. She couldn't go through her fathers stuff. It was too soon she needed more time.

She ran back into her room and dropped down to her knees. She broke down and just cried, cried and cried. Cold arms wrapped around her and she knew who it was.

"EDWARD!"

"Shhh, I'm here, Lovely, I'm here shhh." He soothed.

He rubbed her back and just rocked her, humming to her, hoping to calm her down. He was so grateful to have a sister who could see the future. That way he could always be there for Bella when she needed him the most.

Finally Bella calmed down. She sniffed and looked up at Edward. "Are you all right?" he asked her.

She nodded. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you leave your hunt."

He chuckled. "Funny enough, once you're experienced enough, and you can take down a full grown bear, you don't need to hunt a lot. Two giant bears and I'm stuffed."

Bella giggled at the thought of Edward standing up against two bears. "You're a brave boy"

"I'm not a boy I'm a man." He said, he puffed out his cheeks and made himself look buffer than normal.

She giggled once more and poked him in the stomach.

"Hey!" he laughed He poked her back.

"Hey!" she laughed poking him again.

They started poking each other in the stomachs both of them laughing. Until Edward gained the upper hand and started to tickle her stomach making her fall onto her back and start laughing harder and squirm around on the floor.

"Stop!" she choked out.

"Oh no, " he laughed. "You started this one missy, now I'm going to end it."

"Edward…I can't breathe." She squeaked out. "Stop, please!"

He chuckled but stopped.

"Remember this the next time you want to start a tickle fight with a vampire." He teased.

She giggled. "I will."

The door opened and Phil and Renee walked in. "Bella, there is something we would like to speak to you about."

"OK…" she said slowly. She and Edward stood up.

"Honey, now that Charlie is gone, and he can't really be your father anymore, well Phil and I were thinking maybe…it would really help your bond and so maybe…just maybe…Phil could adopt you and become your legal father."

Bella turned three shades whiter. Her father hadn't been dead a week and her mother was already pushing a new one on her. How could her mother do something like this to her so soon? Why would she do this? Didn't she know how much this would hurt her? Did she even care about her anymore, or did her love for Phil blind her of that?

A/N what will happen now? Will Renee and Phil continue with the adoption even though Bella doesn't want it? Does Renee even care about Bella's feelings? Leave your thoughts in a review.
