I'm so glad you all liked this story soo much. I will be writing another Twilight story but it will be more Esme and Carlisle based. More info on that at the bottom's A/N. Until then enjoy this chapter:


Bella sat in a small room on her new bed. Her knees were pulled up to her chest, her arms wrapped around her legs with her chin resting on her knees. She had stopped crying but sniffed softly just hoping she was saved from this mess.

She closed her eyes and tried to think of good things….like Edward, him holding her, him cuddling her, him caring for her, him tickling her, him kissing her, him just being perfect.

There was a knock at her door. "Edward?" she asked hopefully.

The door opened and a strange man walked in. "I don't know who Edward is but my name is James. You're new around here aren't you?"

"Um…yeah….just arrived today." She said nervously.

"I've been in and out of this place since I was six. You better get used to it because here is the truth, no one wants to adopted teenagers. All they want are little babies."

"My dad left a will. I just have to wait for the paperwork. Then I'm going to be out of here."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. That was ten years ago."

Bella gulped. She couldn't survive being away from Edward for ten years.

James went over and sat down on the bed. "So….this Edward boy is he your boyfriend?"

Bella nodded. "We've been together for three years."

"Long time I'm surprised he hasn't dumped you for someone better."

"Edward loves me."

"Yeah, but he didn't sign up for all this baggage. Men don't line women with baggage."

"I don't believe you! I know Edward loves me! So shut up about him."

"Fine, maybe he did love you, but you'll never see him again so you might as well break up with him right now."

"That's not going to happen."

"Well you're never going to see him again so it best to tell him goodbye."

"I'm going to get out of here and I will see Edward again."

"What makes you so sure? Have you ever seen your dad wills? Do you know for a fact whoever has it will turn it in?"

"Of course he, will. He promised me."

"Promises are so easily broken. I'm sure your parents promised not to leave you right? They broke their promise what's to stop this guy from breaking his promise?"

"Jacob wouldn't do that to me…not again."

"Again? So he already broke a promise to you once and you believe he won't do it again."

"Just get out of my room. Leave me alone."

"Nope, no can do. Mr. Anderson asked me to come keep you company. He says you're going to be here a while."

"No, I'm not. Stop saying that."

"I'm just telling you the truth. You're never going to get out of here. You're never going to see Edward again."

"Stop!" she screeched. "I said get out!"

"I never do as I'm told." He smirked.

"Please, I just want to be alone."

"Awww why are you sad?"

"I just want to be alone."

"Can't do that. Mr. Anderson told me stay in here with you. He thinks you're going to run away."

"I've thought about." Bella muttered.

"Plus, we should get to know each other. After all you're going to be here a while, might as well make some friends."

"I'll never be your friend. I will be getting out of here real soon, you'll see."

"Ok, well in three weeks when you finally realizes you're never getting out don't come crying to me."

"I won't."

James laughed. "You're so funny. You actually believe you're getting out of here."

"You're in such a hurry to get home when Edward is at home jumping for joy now that you're gone. He's throwing the biggest party to celebrate."

Bella shook her head. "Edward loves me."

"He loved you. Look, I'm a guy let me give you a little guy advice. Guys do not like women with baggage. You're parents are dead that's baggage that he no longer wants to deal with. He's going to find another girl who doesn't have as much baggage as you."

Bella didn't answer. What if this guy was right? When she and Edward got together her parents were alive and their biggest problem was Jacob, but Edward put up with him because he made her happy but now, Jacob had hurt her and her parents were dead, and more to it she was in foster home, a background check would have to be done in order for them to adopt her which they couldn't let happen, that whole family was at risk of being exposed because of her. This boy was right; she did have a lot of baggage with her. She finally sighed and her face fell. James was right; she was never going to get out of here. She was never going to see Edward again.

"I see it finally sunk in for you. Don't worry it's not too bad, it's just like that little play called Annie."

Bella gulped.

He laughed. "Better get used to it. For the next year your life is going to be a living nightmare…well it was nice to meet you."

James got up and walked away. Bella buried her face into her pillow and started to cry. She curled into a fetal position. "Edward! Edward I love you!" she cried.

Just then the door opened again. A voice gasped and rushed over to her.

"Bella, what's wrong?"

Bella's head shot up and she smiled. "Jacob!"

He chuckled. "That's me, what's the matter?"

"Are you going to get me out of here?" she whimpered.

"Of course, my dad is working with them right now. You should be out of here by dinner."

Bella sighed. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Until then, I'm here to keep you company."

Bella smiled. Finally some company she actually wanted. They talked and laughed. Jacob helped her to forget about what was going on and distracted her from worrying about what would happen.


Before Bella even knew it there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." she said.

The door opened and Billy wheeled in. "Ready to go?" he asked.

"Really, I'm free?" Bella asked.

"Really, the paper work is all set. I am officially your legal guardian." Billy smiled.

"Yes!" Bella cheered. She hugged Billy around the neck. "Thank you so much!"

Jacob chuckled. "Come on let's get you out of here."

Everyone left and headed back home.


Once they got inside Bella took her stuff from Jacob. "So, which room is mine?"

"None of them." Jacob said.

"What?"

"You're not staying here."

"What? But you said…"

"Bella, listen, when your father wrote his will you didn't even know Edward or any of the Cullen's yet and you and Jacob were closer than you are at this moment. All your father wants is for you to be happy. That's all we want too. Legally I'm in charge of you, but you will be living with the Cullen's until your 18."

"Really?"

Billy nodded. "Really."

"Thank you." Bella smiled.

"You're welcome, now go. They are expecting you." Billy said.

"You're not coming?"

"Carlisle has been very generous in allowing Jacob on their lands, I don't want to push. Just Jacob will take you over there."

Bella nodded in understanding. "Thank you, Billy."

"Thank, Jacob he was the one who suggested it."

Bella looked at Jacob in shock. "Really?"

He nodded. "I tried keeping you away from Edward once and it almost cost us our friendship but also our lives. I won't make that mistake again. I care about you, Bella and I just want you to be happy."

"Thank you, Jacob. You've just earned back my friendship. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

They shared a hug before Bella and Jacob left the house.


When they arrived all the Cullen's were waiting by the door. Jacob chuckled. "I think they missed you."

"Just a little bit." She teased.

She ran up the stairs and threw open the front door instantly hugging Edward tightly. He hugged her back and they shared a passionate kiss on the lips.

"Thank you, Jacob. You don't understand how much you've just helped this family." Carlisle said.

Jacob nodded. "We just want Bella to be happy. I've never seen her any happier than when she is here with you."

Bella moved and continued to hug her family.

"Do tell your father we said thank you."

Jacob nodded. "I will."

He turned to leave as the Cullen's started to walk back to their rooms.

"Hey, Jacob." Edward said.

He turned back around.

"Why don't you come inside, I'm sure Bella would want to hang out with us both."

Bella smiled. Jacob not only earned her trust but he had finally earned Edwards.

He walked inside and smirked at Edward. "This doesn't change anything. I still hate you."

Edward laughed. "I know, I still hate you too."

Bella giggled as they all walked further into the house. "Awww how cute you guys are friends."

"No, Bella we're not friends." Jacob said.

"Yeah, no, we are nowhere close to being friends." Edward agreed.

Bella just giggled and shook her head. "You're best friends and it's adorable."

"You know what, Edward; I think Bella needs to be tickled." Jacob smirked.

"For once I agree with you." Edward smirked back.

"No, NO!" She squealed and took off running. Edward caught her instantly and laid her down on the couch and started to tickle her. Jacob joined in making her laugh and squeal and squirm. Jacob and Edward laughed with her.

She was with back with her family, where she really belonged. Her parents were in a better place. She knew at that moment that life was perfect and that Phil the evil vampire was no more.
