Edward and Frankie spent two days there they went back to Forks, no one knew that Edward had gone with Frankie and to be honest she preferred it that way.
"I don't ever want you to do something like that, again do you hear me?" Uncle Charlie scolded. "I was worried out of my mind, Frankie."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Charlie, really I am. I just had to see my Granny, you wouldn't understand."
"You could have seen her, it's the fact that you flew across the country without telling a soul."
"I'm sorry." Frankie said, bowing her head. "Can I go upstairs now?"
"Yeah, go ahead."
Frankie headed upstairs to Bella and her bedroom, Bella was sitting on her bed reading a book, she looked up when Frankie entered the room.
"You're back!" Bella said, happily getting up and hugging Frankie.
"I'm sorry I left." Frankie said, hugging her back.
"It's okay; you had a lot to sift through."
"And I have, but I want to tell you and Quil at the same time. Plus, I'll need you for support."
"Why?" Bella asked, worriedly.
"I didn't tell you this, but – I love Edward."
"You've only known him a few weeks, Frankie."
"I've only known Quil a few weeks; in fact I met Edward before him. The way I feel with Quil it's – its like how I felt for Alexei, it's a friendship and it will never be anything more but – when I think of Edward – I couldn't imagine not being with him. I know I don't know either of them very well but there is just something about Edward that I can't get out of my head."
"We have time to go to La Push today if you want." Bella said with a sigh. "I really thought you and Quil would choose each other, I don't understand."
"I know you don't because you where in the same position and chose Jacob, Edward told me."
"I chose Jacob because he was perfect for me that is what imprinting means. Jacob will be anything I want; he will always be there to make me happy, Edward couldn't do that."
"Well, Edward is what makes me happy and if Quil has really imprinted on me then he'll respect that."
"I don't think you're making the right choice, you won't have children with Edward. He might not change you, he wouldn't change me. And if he does, you'll never grow old, time will pass and it won't mean anything to you."
"It's not your choice to make, Bella." Frankie said in a low voice.
"Let's go." Bella said with a nod grabbing the keys to her truck.
Frankie and Bella where silent as they drove to La Push, Frankie kept trying to figure out what she'd say to Quil to hurt him the least, but she knew anything she said would hurt him.
Bella called Jacob a few minutes before they got there and by the time they arrived at the small house, Jacob and Quil where waiting outside. Quil's eyes lit up when he saw Frankie which made her feel even worse for what she knew she would have to do.
Jacob and Bella hugged each other and Quil and Frankie just stood there.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted and I'm sorry for leaving without telling you I was gone."
"It's okay." Quil said, with a weak smile. "You're back and you're safe."
"Can you tell me about this 'imprinting' thing?"
"It means I would give anything to make you happy, your needs are now above my needs, your happiness above my happiness. I will there for you, weather you need a friend or brother or a lover." Quil said.
"I need a friend and a brother but that's all."
"Then that's all I want, I want you to be happy Frankie."
"It would make me happy if you found someone you could spend the rest of your life with, have a family with someday."
"I don't think that will be possible." Quil admitted. "I would always put your first and I don't think any future wife would want that."
"I'm sorry." Frankie said. "I truly am."
"Don't be sorry, Frankie."
