So, this chapter's nightmare's aka the truth and memory reveals were a lot of fun to write. Emotional, but fun to write. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Also, quick note...there's a possibility that you may need tissues...so, do yourself a favor and keep tissues in handy for this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything...well, except for the plot I guess. Oh, and Elena, of course.

Chapter 10

After that night, for a few weeks, I didn't see or hear from Edward again. I had Jacob and the pack to thank for that. Once I finally told Jacob about Edward stalking me ever since I returned to Forks, the pack had been taking turns patrolling to make sure Edward stayed away from my room at night.

As for the nightmares, I hadn't had another one of those during those few weeks either. I had Jacob to thank for no nightmares. Every night after Charlie went to bed Jacob would sneak in and stay with me. For whatever reason, as long as I could feel the heat radiating off of his body at night, the nightmares stayed away, which is why I was hesitant about going to bed tonight.

For the first night in weeks, I was sleeping alone. Jacob had to fill in patrolling for Paul who had some sort of emergency or whatever and he couldn't get out of it. So, therefore, I was sleeping alone tonight. There would be no sense of comfort for me this time. Due to that fact, I was afraid that the nightmares would return. Knowing my luck, they actually would, too.

Reluctantly, I went about my normal bed time routine, and finally settled down in bed. Alone. Something that I was not at all happy about. I just knew that the nightmares would return, and after many nights without them...well, I really wasn't looking forward to them being back again. Hopefully, soon the nightmares would reveal something useful to me. That way I'd no longer have to have them.

"I won't be that far away, Bells," Jacob assured me when he came up to tell me goodnight. "I'll just be right outside."

"I know," I sighed.

"Just call for me if you need me," he said, leaning forward to kiss me on my forehead.

I nodded as I wrapped my arms around his neck to keep him from leaving just yet.

He chuckled. "Bells, seriously?"

"I don't want you to go," I whined. "I won't be able to sleep well."

Jacob sighed, and pried my arms from around his neck. "You'll be fine, Bells. I promise."

"Yeah, sure," I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

Jacob shook his head, and muttered, "So, stubborn."

"Hey!" I exclaimed. "I heard that!"

He laughed as he turned and walked over to the window. "As if you weren't already aware of that fact."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "Whatever."

"Night, Bells," Jacob said before jumping out the window.

I could have sworn that I also heard him say, "Love you."

But, I couldn't be too sure.

Although, the fact that I already knew he loved me did make me think that he really did say it.

~MP~

I don't know how long I was asleep for before I woke up. I sat up in bed and looked around. Something felt very strange. I was in my room, thought, so that wasn't strange. But, I still had the sense that something wasn't right about this picture. I could have sworn that I hadn't been asleep that long. Yet, when I looked towards the window it was showing that it was light outside.

What was going on here?

Suddenly, my attention was caught by the sound of muffled voices coming from outside the door. It sounded like two people were arguing. Now that was definitely strange. Only Charlie and I lived here, so why would two people be arguing outside my bedroom door? And, I was sure that the voice's I was hearing belonged to both a guy and a girl and a guy. I wasn't aware of any woman that Charlie knew that would actually be here arguing with him.

Dazed and confused, I got out of bed and made my way over to the door. I put my ear up to the door to see if I could hear better. And, hear better, I did. I got the shock of a lifetime when I realized that the voices I was hearing were the voices of Edward and me.

What the hell?

I could hear my own voice screaming, but my mouth wasn't moving, so I knew that it definitely wasn't actually me right now, if that made any sense. Curiously, I stepped back and opened the door. When I saw what was on the other side of the door, I was shocked beyond belief.

There in front of me on the other side of the door was me and Edward. And, it wasn't the hallway at my house that we were in. It was Edward's bedroom at the Cullen's old mansion.

It was right then, in that very moment, that I realized that unlike my previous nightmare's, this one was different. Instead of living the nightmare as myself, I was actually witnessing the nightmare as a bystander to what I was seeing.

In order to get the answers that I so badly craved, all I could do was stand back and watch in awe, shock, and disgust as the truth actually played out for me right in front of very own wide eyes.

"Let me go, Edward!" the nightmare version of me exclaimed, trying to yank her arm from Edward's grip. "I need to go see Jacob!"

"You're my wife now, Bella," Edward hissed through clenched teeth. "You chose me!" he reminded me...her. "I will not let you go see that mutt."

I had never before heard him talk in such a way.

I gasped at what she...I said next.

"I love him! I'm in love with him!" she cried out. "I'm sorry, it took me this long to realize it, but it did. And, you should just be happy and accept it! Like you said you would in the tent!" she exclaimed. "Yeah, that's right! I wasn't exactly asleep yet when you and Jacob had that conversation about if I chose him."

I could feel tears start to well up in my eyes as the truth of the words she had just said sunk in.

"I have to see him! I will see him one way or another. And, you can't stop me!"

The nightmare version of me finally managed to get out of Edward's grasp, turned and ran out the room.

Edward was very close behind her.

I, myself, turned and ran after them so that I could see what happened next.

I watched as the nightmare version of me ran to the stairs with Edward right on her heels. The second Edward caught up with her, he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. She gasped and I couldn't figure out why.

That is until I managed to get a good view of his face. I, also, gasped. It was such a shock when I saw the color of his eyes. They were blood red. I couldn't believe it. Everything made sense now. The red eyes belonged to him. He was the one that I was running scared from in my previous nightmares.

But, why?

The answer came to me in an instant as I reminded myself of all those times he made my decisions for me. All those times, he chose when and where I could go. All of those times, when he acted as if he owned me. It all clicked into place, then.

The look in his eyes wasn't the look of the Edward she...I had come to know and love. They were the eyes of the true Edward. The vampire Edward. The vampire Edward that was obsessed with her...me and intended on controlling her...me for the rest of eternity.

The nightmare version of me screamed for help, but nobody was there to help her. It was, unfortunately, just her and the real Edward. She yanked her arm back to get away from Edward and in the process lost her footing on the top stair and started falling back.

I watched as she reached forward to try and grab onto Edward to steady herself back up. But, in a move that was capable of shocking me to death, he let go of her arm and stepped back. Oh, god! He just watched her...me fall and did nothing to try and help me.

The other Bella screamed again as she fell backwards and tumbled down the stairs.

All I could do was watch in shock and tears as the other, past me...I...fell down the stairs and landed on the bottom step, hitting her, my head hard against the wall.

Then, as if I wasn't already shocked enough, I heard Edward say, "If I can't have you, then no one can. Certainly not that mutt!"

I was in tears as I heard her...me tearfully plead, quietly, "Jacob. My Jacob."

And, then it was completely silent.

Almost as soon as the other me passed out, Edward turned and looked at me.

Everything fell into place now. My nightmare's were trying to tell me all along that Edward was the one to blame. He was the reason for everything. My coma...my memory loss...it was all because of him. It was such a bitter pill to swallow. And, it was all because I changed my mind and chose Jacob in the end.

In an instant, nightmare Edward launched himself in my direction and everything went black.

~MP~

When I woke up, I was outside a very familiar bedroom door.

Jacob's bedroom door.

I could hear quiet voices on the other side.

Twisting the knob, I opened the door.

I couldn't help but gasp when I saw myself kneeling on the floor next to Jacob's bed where he laid all bandaged up.

In an instant, everything that happened and was said in this moment came flooding back into my mind.

I was in tears by the time I remembered everything.

I was so wrong in telling him that my love for him wasn't enough. I was so very wrong. 'Cause it was enough. It was more than enough.

The next thing I knew, again, everything went black.

~MP~

The next time I woke up, I was laying on the grass. Grass? What the hell was I doing laying on the grass?

Slowly, I stood up and took in my surroundings. They were extremely familiar. It took me a moment to pin point where I was, but I finally did. I was now standing outside of the Cullen's mansion near where Edward and I got married.

Then, I heard voices. Immediately, I ran towards where the voices were coming from.

I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw me and Jacob, alone, dancing and laughing.

The memory of what happened next was suddenly front and center in my mind.

"Please, Bella," Jacob pleaded. "It's still not too late to change your mind."

"Jake, please," the past me pleaded right back. "Don't make this harder on us than it already is."

"It doesn't have to be hard on either of us at all, Bella," Jacob said.

The past me shook her head. "I'm sorry, Jacob," she apologized. "But, it's too late. I chose Edward," she whispered before turning away from him.

"Wait!" Jacob called after her. "We can run away together!"

I had the same reaction the past me did.

My eyes were wide and I was frozen in place.

"What?" the past me asked, turning around, looking at him with wide eyes.

"You once said that you wanted to go explore the world one day. You asked me if I'd go with you when you did," he said. "We can still do that. I may have pack obligations and I may not have much money, but I would still drop everything and make it work..." he trailed off. "For you."

"You remember," the past me whispered. "But, we were just kids, then."

"I loved you even, then, Bells," Jacob admitted. "And, there's nothing about you that I haven't remembered. Even from when we were kids."

"Oh, Jacob."

"Please, Bells. Please," Jacob pleaded. "Don't do this. You can still change your mind."

I, along with the past me, was crying.

"I'm so sorry, Jake," the past me cried, and I wanted to punch her dead in her face for being so stupid.

How could she...how could I have done that to him?

I should have said yes.

But, I didn't.

Oh, god.

I was such an awful person.

With that thought in mind, I was again overcome by darkness.

~MP~

I woke up immediately with a start, and fresh tears pouring down my face.

Oh, god. I knew the truth now. I wasn't sure if I was relieved or unhappy about that fact. The whole time I wanted to know what had happened, but now that I did...I wasn't so sure I wanted to know anymore.

And, all of the memories. Oh, god. The memories.

My memories had finally come back.

All that was missing now...was Jacob.

Review, please? Let me know what you think!

Next chapter; Bella's memory has come back and all she wants is Jacob. Revelations are made. More truths are revealed. Oh, and, how about...confrontation and a marriage is finally ended!
