A/N: Thank you to all of you that left reviews, I appreciate it and love to hear what you think of the story thus far. I'm glad a lot of you like that I'm giving Bella some more backbone, I just never liked how easily she took him back and never said a word about what she went through, because if it was me I would be a little angry and would want to voice that. So I'm going to let Bella do that in this story...this chapter is a little shorter, but I think you will all like what I have in store for chapter 3...it will be longer I promise...

Chapter 2

The moment Bella slammed the door Edward jumped out the window and started to run. He had Bella in his life for barely 24 hours and he already was screwing things up. They were fighting and that was the last thing he wanted, he should have known it wouldn't be easy. Things with Bella and him were never easy. He just wanted to hold her and tell her it was all going to be ok, but he wasn't sure that was the truth, and if the distance taught him anything, it was never to lie.

"Damnit," he growled and swung at a tree, causing it to collapse instantly.

"Bro, I don't think killing the forest is going to help." Emmet said as he came up and Edward just growled again. "Chill Esme seen you ran off and was worried, she called to have me check on you. What happened?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Clearly it does, or else that tree would be standing and you would be home with Bella." He said and noticed how still Edward got at the mention of Bella and knew they had a fight.

"She's mad at me, we had a fight," he said and Emmet laughed.

"I caught that much, but why?"

"She wanted to talk about when I left, started to tell me what she did, how she felt and it was all too much. I hate to hear she's in pain ever, let alone with me being the cause. Then I went and made a slip about Alice's visions and she wanted to know what they were."

"So tell her, they changed when you left, so no harm no foul."

"Its not that easy, there was harm. I destroyed Bella when I left, just looking at her I can tell she's different. She never use to be that harsh, or tough. She was always so innocent and now…"

"She's protective of herself, that's only natural. It's a gut reaction to protect yourself when someone hurts you. What's it they say, twice bitten once shy or something like that." He said, trying to get Edward to loosen up but it wasn't happening. "You hurt her, what did you think it would all just magically fall into place and be like you never walked out on her?"

"No, yes. But how do I tell her what Alice saw. Every one of them she was hurt, and other times she didn't make it at all. I can't even stand to think about it."

"Then you're an idiot. Because we've all been stuck since she left, like a piece of the family was missing and you were this zombie who barely left your room. So why not take the second chance you were given and embrace it. Who knows if you'll get another one. Especially since its all different now. Alice sees her as one of us, as apart of this family."

"Ya that's all easy for you, you didn't have to change Rosalie, take the chance you might kill her."

"Neither do you, you just have to give her what she wants. Bella's meant to be with you, with us and we all have accepted that as fact, you are the only one fighting it. She's meant to be a vampire! I don't understand why you don't accept that, you know she's it for you. She's your match in every way, we both know there will never be anyone for you but her."

"What if I can't stop? What if the bloodlust takes over and I kill her? Then what?"

"We both know you can stop, we seen you do it when James attacked her in Phoenix. You found the will to stop because your love for her is stronger then the thirst for her blood. Besides, we will all be there, there won't be any danger to Bella, we'd never let it happen."

"Rose might let me kill her," He scoffed and Emmet laughed.

"Not a chance in hell, Bella may not be her favorite person, but she knows you love her and she'd never take that way from you. Besides, she is warming up to Bella." He said and Edward smiled for the first time.

"Maybe, we just need to figure some things out with one another."

"That should be interesting, seems you can't manipulate her so easily anymore."

"I never manipulated her." He said in a low voice and Emmet laughed.

"Please, you could talk her into anything and you know it. What did she call it?"

"Dazzling her," Edward mumbled, knowing Emmet was right and then they both started home.

"Just think, you fought so now you get to make up." He said with a smirk and Edward hit him, knocking him into a tree. "Hey I'm just speaking from experience, and this new feisty Bella could be fun." He said and Edward started to walk faster.

"You hear that? Sounded like glass breaking." Edward said and they both started to run, fearing the worst had happened.
