A/N: PLEASE READ THIS! So, the holding chapters hostage doesn't wash with you lot then? I know there's people reading this story and putting it on alerts and shizzz! Just cut me some slack and drop me a hi or something! You're killing me! Anyway I'm posting this because I can't stand having something written and not having it out there.

Old Times

BPOV

After spending all day at the Cullen's with Alice, I was ready to go home, relax and sleep. But the minute I got through the door, Charlie pounced.

"Jake called." He said, smiling.

"Huh, wha- Excuse me?" I said stuttering. Jake had been 'missing' for weeks, why is he back all of a sudden? Not that I wasn't happy, I was just shocked.

"Yeah, I got the 'I told you so' lecture from Billy too. 'I told Jake would come back when he's ready'." Charlie said, mocking Billy in a whiney voice.

"What did he say on the phone?" I asked, hoping this wasn't some dream and Alice was going to shake me awake for falling asleep during the wedding planning. Again.

"Just asked me to ask you to call him." Charlie grinned.

I smiled with relief and grabbed the phone, dialling the Black's phone.

"Hello." Jake answered. I felt my heart swell when I heard his voice and instantly felt guilty. I was supposed to let Jacob go when I chose Edward over him. But, here I was being selfish all over again.

"Hey, Jake." I whispered.

"Bella! It's so good to hear your voice. I missed you! Can you come down to La Push any time soon? Or I could come there? I heard about you're accident." He sneered the word. "How are you?" He finished, he breathing heavy.

"Jeeze Jake, chill out. I'll see what I can do about getting to La Push. You can come here, but not tonight. I'm exhausted. And I'm fine after my accident." I over exaggurated the word 'accident' to piss him off.

"Accident, my ass." He mumbled.

"Jake," I started, stifiling a yawn. "I'm bushed. I'll call you tomorrow and we'll arrange something, okay?"

"Oh, sorry Bella. Yeah, sure. I've missed you. Goodnight, Bella. See you." Jake mumbled.

"I've missed you too. G'night." I said hanging up.

"I'm going up. Goodnight, Dad." I shouted to Charlie.

"Wait up, Bells." He said, stopping me at the bottom of the stairs.

I stifled a groan and turned to face him.

"So.. What'd Jake say?"

I rolled my eyes, he was so nosy. "Just that he missed me and we need a catch up. I think I'll be going to La Push soon." I said, smiling. I knew this would please Charlie. Though he understood I was marrying Edward he still liked that I was Jakes friend. He understood we were nothing more than that and stopped trying to push us together.

"That's good." Charlie nodded. "Goodnight, Bells." He said, before walking back to the living room.

I headed to my bedroom and smiled when I found Edward lounging on my bed. "You want to go to La Push?" He asked, a soft smile on his face.

I nodded. "Is that okay?" I asked, vowing to be rational if he said no.

"Of course, Bella. I told you, I understand that there is a connection between you and Jacob. There's nothing I can do about that. He's your friend, Bella, and if you want to see your friend, you can. You don't need my permission. Though I would like to drop you off at the boarder." He requested, pulling my hand and lying me down with him.

"Just like old times," I smiled up at him.

"Just like old times." He agreed, pulling my face to his for a kiss.

When we pulled back I caught my breath and then yawned loudly.

"Go get changed and get some sleep, beautiful." Edward suggested.

I nodded reluctantly and got changed in the bathroom. I walked back to my room like a zombie and collapsed onto the bed. I crawled under the sheets and snuggled into Edward as I fell into a deep sleep where a familiar russet coloured wolf starred in my dreams...

A/N: Okay, I know the Victoria and her newborns didn't happen but the love triangle did happen, except Jacob threatened to kill himself, himself if you get me. AND the dropping off at the boarders still happened as Bella was going back and forth to visit Jake. I hope that's cleared up any confusion. I apologise for bring Jacob into this story but it has to be done. So sorry.

R&R!
