Sorry I took so long to update, I really wanted to make this chapter better than had already written it. Hope you enjoy and if you have any story ideas please tell me.

"E-Edward?" Her voice came out shakily, Much weaker than she had hoped she mentally slapped herself for being so scared.

"Bella, love pleas-" "What do you want?" she demanded, cutting him off.

"Please Bella, if you would let me explain. I wasn't going to call you, but i missed you so much." She could feel that familiar trance evading her mind, His voice just sounded so, inviting.

"Edward, i-i really want your explanation, but I think, maybe a bit of separation would be best." She paused before staring intently at her wrist. "I don't think I'm ready for things to go back to the way they were, if god! I'm so damn lost, please help m e understand."

"Love please, I will explain. In person, I wouldn't feel right explaining to you over the phone" He pleaded, "I feel so ashamed of what happened that night."

He sounded so distraught.

A loud boisterous laugh echoed through the small cabin, and her gaze found its way to the giant men dwarfing the black's small table in the kitchen-dining room.

Oh no!

What would they think?

No matter what she wasn't stupid. She knew they would not approve of her speaking with Edward, let alone meeting him.

Sighing, she returned her gaze to her wrist.

"Okay Edward, I will meet you some time today, maybe at the treaty line. I'm not sure." On the other line, Edward smiled. "Perfect!"

"Thank you so much Bella, i swear you won't regret this" He said. "okay then i'll see you soon" She hung up on him.

She placed her phone on the wooden dresser next to her. There were small wooden carvings stood on it. There was a man, standing tall in what she thought was a wolf skin draped over him.

Then there was small wolf carving, the wolf had its head tilted towards the sky howling on it's hackles.

Finally there was a girl, it wasn't finished, The main parts were was just missing the extra detail. What startled her was it held very familiar resemblance to her.

It wasn't her was it? She thought as she placed it carefully back n the dresser.

Picking up her phone she shoved `it in her pocket as she walked out of Jacob's the door she entered the kitchen again.

The room was full of light banter.

"Hey" Jacob said, as he patted the seat next to him, silently asking her to sit there. Once she had sat down, he passed her a plate, with way to much food.

Raising an eyebrow she looked at him wearily, he let out a chuckle when she put at least half of it back onto his pate.

By the time they had finished, She was utterly full.

Jacob was settling on the couch when she spoke, "Hey, Jake, I really need to go home."she said looking at him from her spot in his side. "why?" He asked.

"Cause, Charlie will be worried, it's been two days. I know he will be suspicious. plus, i have an essay i have to complete." He looked up trying to mask some of the disappointment.

"Really, bells?" he said, pulling her closer to him.

"I'm sorry Jake, you know I wish I could stay I'm surprised He let me off for this long. But I swear I will visit you Jake, i will, so much that you will get sick of me" She said tenderly reaching up to cup his cheek. She looked in his eyes, "I promise"

Reluctantly he nodded. Savoring the feel of her hand on his cheek, he pulled her into a small hug, no words were needed, it was just 'Jake n' bells'.

He pulled her off the sofa with him as he made his way to her truck, putting on a pair of sneakers as she got together her stuff. Swinging her duffel bag onto his shoulder they said their goodbyes to the pack.

Once in the truck Jacob turned on the heating, it was cold outside, for Bella at she started shivering almost two minutes into the journey, he unbuckled her seatbelt and Brought her to his side.

She didn't complain, Instead she snuggled deeper into him, letting out a content moan. Laughing at her antics, he absently rubbed his cheek against the top of her head.

He wondered what it would have been like, if there were no monsters and would be his, and he would be hers.

While Bella was reveling in the safety of his arms, Although she wouldn't admit it out loud, She was scared, of Edward. Even thought she He had probably not mean to, it still scared her.

Still, she knew she would most likely end up forgiving him.

Jacob could tell she was thinking of him, they way her brow furrowed, and she bit her lip, it was cute. Though he noticed the big difference in her posture, she tensed in his arms as her fingers unknowingly found themselves to the greenish bruise on her wrist.

From now on he vowed he would not let her get hurt again.

Nor would his wolf.

They reached her drive, both pulling apart. Much to Jacob's surprise when she did much more reluctantly.

The air crackled with tension, It was amazing how one minute they ere completely comfortable in each others how the next they were so uncomfortable, both fully aware of the boundaries that were set.

Hesitantly they climbed out of the truck, not making eye they reached the porch, She looked up awkwardly, shuffling her feet on the door Matt.

Chuckling at her embarrassment, Jacob could only take so much. He scoped her up in his arms in one of his signature bear hugs.

She pulled him closer breathing in his masculine scent. "it will be all right bells, I swear" He whispered into her hair.

They stood like that for a good few minutes, neither ready to let go.

It didn't have to be like before, there was no line, no boundaries that would have to followed.

It was just 'Jake n' bells', the really close friends.

Jacob was the first to pull out of the hug.

When she held onto him still, he lifted up her once dry eyes were now glistening with unshed fingers gently wiped away the stay tear that escaped her eye.

How could someone so Big, have such a tender touch? She thought, closing her eye, trying to push back the tears.

"I don't wan't you to go" She said horsely.

"Hey, hey. Don't Cry bells, I don't want to go either. But we both know Charlie would kill me If I took you, who would make him food?" He joked lightly.

As lame as the joke was, it was so him, and the side of her mouth twitched as she fought a smile.

"He would wouldn't he?" She said.

"Bella." He said more seriously. "Please, If anything, I mean-i don't know what I would do if something happened to you, so just promise me you will call me if anything-i mean anything happened, okay?"

She didn't answer.

"Please, I mean it bells." He said desperately.

Nodding she mumbled a yes

"Now I'll see you soon" he said as he jogged back to the forest.

Walking into her house, she was More than a bit relieved to find Charlie had gone to may be hard explaining why she had stayed at the black's for two whole days.

Trudging upstairs, she let her feet drag behind her, as she slowly made her way to her just outside, she found herself wondering if she was going to find anything out of the unusual there.

Holding her breath, she turned the nob and stepped inside.

The room was the same, maybe she had been expecting to find something out of the ordinary. There wasn't, it was the same.

Flinging her bag in the corner of her room, she flopped on the just sat there for a bit, it was , she got up and went down stairs.

Once in the kitchen her stomach growled loudly.

What? Hadn't she just eaten, like half an hour ago?

When she opened the fridge, there wasn't really anything there. Of course, she was useless at cooking, which meant he would have been at the diner. She made a mental note to start including more vegetables in her food.

As she reached to grab an apple from the fruit basket she saw a note.

Bella,

Will be working late today, don't worry.

Love dad

Sighing she walked back to her room with the apple in her had been so long since she had been at home, or at least it had felt like that.

Charlie wasn't one to interfere, but she thought he would ask why she had just gone, even if it was with Jake. Knowing him, he would be hoping that they somehow got together, and that's why she was there.

He never did hide the fact he didn't like Edward, or more importantly that he wanted her to be with the not so subtle hints he dropped some times.

Sitting down at her desk she switched on her was a greta upgrade from that old dinosaur of a computer she had before. Once she logged on, she checked her was one from Renee and one from a random thing.

Opening Renee's one there was a surprisingly long message from her.

Bella, I know we haven't talked in ages, sorry.

But, I was wondering if you wanted to visit us, here in jacksonville. I've missed you so much baby girl.I really want to take you shopping, trust me I've seen your wardrobe.

Also I think you could check out some of the university's here, they are really good. I know how you love English and just out of the town centre they have a really good English program.

Anyway, I'm sure you miss the sun, talk to you soon,

Love mum.

Suddenly she felt a cold hand on her shoulder, and let out a scream.

Turning round she saw it was Edward.

"God what is wrong with you!" she cried. "You nearly scared me half to death! Don't creep around like that."She said glaring at him.

"I'm sorry love, I didn't mean to scare you" he said.

"It's okay, you didn't mean it" She said.

Taking deep breaths she tried getting her breathing under control. "Are you all right love?" He said, concern etched across his face.

Looking up at him she nodded slowly, Once her breathing was back to normal, she sat down on the bed.

"Bella, I came to explain, I really am sorry fro this, honestly I didn't mean to."He started."I-I guess i hadn't hunted in a while, what with looking after you. I wanted to make sure Victoria didn't come."

A shiver of fear ran through her body at her red head, that wanted to kill her, What was quite amazing was how she just seemed to attract danger.

"Bella, I completely lost control for a minute, and I am so terribly sorry"

"Edward" Bella said "I just don't know how you could hurt me. I thought you loved me"She whispered brokenly.

He cupped her face with one of his cold hands, "I know and I am so sorry, I swear it will never happen again" He said as his fingers trailed down to her lips, caressing them placed a small his on her forehead.

" Forgive me?" He breathed, as his lips were just millimeters away from Scent completely filled the air around Bella would find it so lovely and intoxicating, But it was overwhelming her, blocking out all her other senses.

She felt absolutely helpless, as she gazed into his topaz lightheaded being this close to I'm she kissed him on the lips before laying back on her bed.

"I love you Bella"He said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I Love you too" she said as he hummed her lullaby in her ear, within minutes she was fast asleep.

?POV

The Room was .

The wait would be over soon and I would have my revenge. That poor human girl had no idea what we had in store for her.

I can't even believe for a minute she thought he loved her, He might, a little. After all, humans were ever so intriguing.

However, his love for her was nothing for his love for she and those filthy mongrels were out of the picture, It would be him and me.

Nothing would keep me away form my love, nothing, not this time.
