A/N: To adventurous thank you so much for your reviews i probably wouldn't have carried on writing more chapters without them.

I absolutely adore you xxxx

I knew that voice all too well, it belonged to one of Jacobs best friends Quil, I walked round the front of the truck warily and three figures came into view, I recognized two of them instantly as Quil and Embry, they were like brothers to me and unfortunately one of these 'brothers' had Edward pinned against the side of my truck,

"QUIL!"

His eyes widened as he saw me walking closer, his eyes flashed to Embry, but his hands were still at Edwards shoulders pressing him into the metal,

"Bella!"

As I came to the drivers side of the truck where the little party was taking place my eyes went straight to Edward; Quil was pure brawn. To my surprise he was smiling, the corner of one side of his mouth pulled up, when he met my eyes he winked, why wasn't he scared, it was almost as though he was letting Quil hold him there. I wasn't smiling though,

"What the fuck Quil?!" I tried to keep my voice as even and calm as possible, Embry walked towards me his eyes saturated with worry, his voice was heavy and low,

"Is this….. boy, with you Bell?" I cast my eyes to the ground flushing pink, I'd give anything for him to be 'with' me, I couldn't look at Edward or Embry while I considered this, so I settled for directing my answer to my shoes,

"He's my friend Embry" I took a deep breath and tried to speak with all the confidence I could muster,

"…so I'd appreciate it if you didn't use him to scrape the paintwork off my truck"

Embry flashed a smile but it abruptly vanished and I'd never seen him look as serious, he put his warm hand on my left shoulder before looking deep into my eyes staring with ridiculous intensity,

"Don't you mean rust" he said soberly, before his face broke into a wide smile, I brushed his hand off my shoulder, nobody badmouthed my truck!! I scowled at him and his eyes returned the look, his mouth smiling all the while,

"Quil let him go"

Quil withdrew his hand quickly with a look of disgust as though he'd just been squashing maggots, Edwards face mirrored the sentiment as he brushed invisible germs off his shoulders. He straightened up holding in his hand the keys he jangled them and his head jerked towards the truck, I held up my index finger letting him know I'd be with him in one minute.

I turned to where Quil had just trudged over to join Embry, and surprising myself clipped him round the head, before hissing,

"What the HELL was that about?!"

They glanced at each other, their faces embarrassed, but their eyes holding an inexplicable look of distain, Quil snapped back,

"Well I could ask you what the HELL you're doing with that…. boy!!"

My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but before I could start screaming Embry interjected calmly,

"You should be more careful with your choice in friends Bella" he paused briefly, his eyes grave, "…. this changes things"

Then abruptly his mood lightened,

"Well you two…" his eyes motioning towards Edward "…should go now, we have to get over to Sam and Emilys she's cooking dinner…." He trailed off a wistful look clouding his eyes,

"Anyway…" he said his eyes brightening, " …I'll call you later to check you got home…. safe" he seemed to add this as an afterthought, he wrapped his arm round my neck swiftly kissing me on the forehead before he strode away towards Sams caravan, Quil followed with a quick shrug and a wink thrown in my direction,

I sighed in frustration before turning to Edward who was sitting in the drivers seat of my truck, the window rolled down,

"Are you coming then?" for some unknown reason he seemed very amused, I climbed slowly in the passenger side but instead of starting the car he shifted in the worn seat to face me, unleashing the full force of his eyes,

"Your friends don't trust me with you" It was hardly a question, I blushed looking away, mumbling,

"Sorry about that"

"It's a tad hypocritical I have to say" he said this with such indifference it made my eyes snap to his face anxious to find something there that would explain his tone, his eyes were tight, intense as though they weren't concentrating on this moment, but rather the consequences of what he was about to say, but he said nothing, I began to get more than a bit irritated,

"Well…. what do you mean?" His eyes looked away from mine and he said sadly, almost inaudibly,

"They never told you" I took a deep breath in and out, I'd had my fill of patience for the day,

"Told me what exactly!" with that his eyes flashed to mine as though he was trying to make me understand,

"Bella they're…."
