I Don't Want To Be Her

BPOV

When Melissa pulled into the house I wasn't too suprised to find Nick stood in the garage with his arms crossed over his chest and his face filled with relief. I internally rolled my eyes at his theatrics and got out of the now idle car.

"Hi Nick!" I said cheerfully making him frown at me as I passed him. Good luck, Mel I thought as I entered the house. Before I could take another step I was swept into Edwards arms and a soft kiss was placed on my lips.

"Mmmm..." I hummed making Edward chuckle.

He pulled back and smiled crookedly at me. "I missed you." He breathed.

"I missed you." I answered immediately. Would there ever be a time when I wouldn't miss this man?

"So, how was Nick while we were gone?" I asked as Edward led us into the living room.

"Annoying for the most part. He hasn't moved out of the garage since you left. In fact, I don't think he moved a muscle." Edward said, chuckling and running a hand through his unruly hair. "I even started tuning his thoughts out." He continued, "When they became incoherent mumblings."

I snorted a laugh and looked towards the garage as Melissa stormed out with Nick hot on her heels.

"You can't have werewolf friends!" He bellowed as she stomped up the stairs. She spun around suddenly and looked at him with deadly eyes.

"YES. I. CAN." She said slowly, then turned on her heels and continued upstairs. Nick followed and I heard a door slam upstairs, open again and slam once more, more forcefully than before.

I just stared open mouthed until Edward let a laugh slip out.

"Edward!" I chastised. "This is not funny! Was it funny when that was you and me?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

That shut him up right away. "No. But we were never like that, were we?" He asked, a small smile still on his lips.

"Well, no... But this must be hard for her. Just... Speak to Nick. Please? Explain to him as someone who knows what he's going through. I don't like seeing them arguing." I pleaded, putting my hand on his cool cheek.

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose knowing he had a battle coming now.

"Okay." He finally agreed. "Let them just vent for a while and then I'll go and grab him, alright?"

"Alright." I agreed, thinking I should talk to Melissa too.

I knew I was in for a grilling when I saw Nick when I saw him stood in the garage. To Bella he would simply look relieved but I could see the angry set of his jaw. He didn't want me going to La Push and I still did. He's not happy right now. I allowed Bella to get out and leave the garage before I got out of the car. Taking a deep breath I opened the door and stepped out. I locked the car, the beeping echoing in the eerily silent garage.

Nick didn't move out of his frozen position and I sighed loudly, hoping to get some kind of reaction from him. All that happened was the tightening of his already tense jaw.

"Snap out of it, Nick." I said sternly. I sounded like I was talking to a 3rd grader, for crying out loud!

"Why should I?" He snapped childishly.

"Because you a fucking adult! Grow up, for God's sake!" I almost yelled, tugging at my hair.

"When you stop going near werewolves, I will. And yes, I can fucking smell them on you, if you're wondering how I knew!" He said, rasing his voice.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" I yelled back. "I knew you would smell them, I just didn't care." I almost sneered the last words.

Finally he moved, taking a step back and clenching his fists. He was about to reply but I interrupted him. "If I want to have werewolf friends, I will! You're not my father, you cannot and will not tell me who my friends are and where I can and cannot go!" I said, my own fists clenching now.

"You have a werewolf friend?" Nick said, his voice quiet but deadly.

"A few actually." I said dismissivley, shrugging. "Seth, Quil, Embry... Leah. Jacob and Paul are asses though." I said, casually walking by him and out of the garage door.

He was right behind me, obviously, as I made my way upstairs. "You can't have werewolf friends!" I stopped dead on the step and spun on him.

"YES. I. CAN." I deadpanned, giving him one look before turning back on my heel and heading into the bedroom. I slammed the door only for it to open and slam shut again. The door framed shuddered and I thought the door would fall off its hinges.

"Break the fucking house, will ya?" I mumbled saracastically as I went round the room picking up stray clothes that were on the floor. I didn't want to look at him right now.

"Why are you being like this?" Nick yelled, his voice cracking.

I whirled around, my hair flying in my face. "Me!" I screeched. "Why I am I being like this?" I yelled, my voice rising up a few octaves. "You better sort your fucking words out before you speak them buddy!" I yelled before turning back on him. I quietly fumed to myself while he stood there watching me amble around the room, looking for something to do with my hands so I didn't attempt to use them on him.

"Okay, look I know I'm overreacting..." He started of quietly.

I snorted loudly. "Overreacting?" I asked looking at him. "No, Nick. This is downright controlling and I won't stand for it. I didn't take it from Victoria and I won't take it from you." I said, and watched shock flash across his face.

In a second I was on his lap and he sat on the bed. "I'm so sorry," He mumbled into my hair. "I never thought of how you would see it. I never want to be compared to her. I don't want to be her." He said, his voice cracking.

I turned to straddle is lap and cupped his face in my hands. "No, don't think that. I don't mean that you are like her but the control reminds me of that. I'm sorry too, I should be more considerate of how you're feeling about this."

"I swear I'll try and be more understanding with the whole werewolf thing." He said, turning his head to kiss my palm.

"I think I can help with that." Edward said, standing casually in the doorway with his arms crossed. I had been so caught up in Nick I didn't even hear him enter.

"You're right. Go on baby, I'll wait here." I said, placing a kiss on his forehead and moving off his lap.

I was barely off his lap before I was pulled back and deep kiss was placed on my lips. I forgot when I was and all my manners and kissed him back passionately. We broke apart when Edward cleared his throat loudly. I glared at him as Nick chuckled and move me off of him.

I watched both guys leaving the room and then lay back on the bed and traced my lips as they tingled from the kiss. If possible I would spend all my time kissing Nick. I closed my eyes as I remembered until I felt the bed shift. I opened my eyes and saw Bella lying next to me and staring up at the celing.

"You never want them to end do you?" She said knowingly.

"How did-"

"I've been where you are." She explained. "And don't expect the feeling to lessen as time goes on. If anything the feelings just get stronger and stronger..." She trailed off, smiling widely. She still didn't look away from the celing and I knew she was seeing her time with Edward.

I just chuckled and looked up at the celing too, smiling slightly to myself.

Bella just continued. "Which is why I know you two will get over this werewolf thing. Against all odds Edward and I beat it and our situation was much more complicated than yours."

I turned my head to look at her and she finally looked at me with a reassuring smile.

"How did you do it?" I asked quietly.

"I knew who I couldn't live without." She said back just as quietly.

I knew then that Nick and I would get over this. Jacob and Bella had feelings for each other, but I knew I would never love anyone other that Nick. I instantly brightened and smiled widely at Bella.

I instantly pulled her up and into my arms. "Thanks, Belly Boo. You won't believe how much you actually helped!" I exclaimed.

I pulled back and she frowned at me. "You didn't think I would help?" She crossed her arms and pouted at me in mock sadness.

"Of course I did! Just not as much as you actually have!" I said, pinching her waist playfully.

She squealed and dived on me trying to find an opening to tickle me, but I instantly moved as she jumped around the bed. We instantly started to wrestle, laughing loudly.

I finally got Bella pinned as I sat on her with my knees on her arms. I was tickling her mercilessly as she writhed beneath me when a movement at the door caught my eye. I looked over to see Emmett standing there with wide eyes.

"Man..." He breathed not taking his eyes off us in a heap on the bed. I looked back at Bella and we both froze.

We slowly sat up and turned our wide eyes back to the stunned vampire. He suddenly blurred from the door and started yelling throughout the house.

"Emmett!" We both yelled as we jumped off the bed as he screamed about lesbians, tickling and wrestling.

A/N: I jsut want to apologise for the massive wait. Believe it or not I nearly had this chapter finished ages ago but then my Grandad went into hospital and I just didn't have the time or motivation to carry it on. Though, I am glad to say he his out now and I feel I can continue with this story and hopefully get a routine which means I can get this finished.

Anyways, you know what to do.

R&R!
