Sorry for the delay in updating…I'm pretty sure something was up with the site because it wouldn't let me upload stories or even log-in! But I'm back until August 13…then I will be absent for a while.

I sat up in bed, staring at the man lying next to me. He wasn't the man I loved. I had used him in a desperate attempt to get over my dead fiancée, and it hadn't worked. Edward was on my mind more than ever now. Guilt flooded my thoughts, and I couldn't believe I had actually slept with Jacob.

Jacob stirred a little, then peeked his eyes open. His eyes met mine and he grinned lazily, finding my hand under the covers and squeezing it.

"You have to go." I said in a cold voice, looking straight ahead. Jacob sat up in confusion, stunned.

"What?!" He asked, frowning. "Why?"

"Just get out!" I cried, tightening Edward's familiar robe around me and bolting for the bathroom, crying my eyes out. I slammed the bathroom door behind me and dropped to my knees, holding my arms tightly across my chest and rocking back and forth.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Jacob was pounding on the door, but I ignored him, closing my eyes and continuing to rock pathetically on the floor. "Please let me in!"

"Go away." I screamed, pounding my fist on the floor. "You aren't him." I whispered, clenching my fist before wrapping my arms around my body again, trying to keep myself together.

But I was already shattered beyond belief.

Flashback- Last Encounter:

EPOV

I shifted underneath Bella, trying to get out of bed without waking her up. Sliding to the side, I managed to get off the bed and over to my suitcase, flipping it open and shoving clothes inside hastily. I needed to be on my plane in two hours, then in Las Vegas in time for the press junket. Bella didn't want me to go, but I had to. I had skipped out in several events in the past three years, but this one was extremely important.

"No." I turned around to see Bella sitting up in bed, her arms crossed across her bare chest and her full lips set in a pout.

"Baby….." I groaned, dropping onto the bed next to her. She immediately curled over to my side, her warmth capturing me.

"Stay." She pouted, batting her eyelashes. "Please? Please, Edward. I'm going to miss you so much." I sighed and kissed her hair, inhaling her delicious strawberry shampoo.

"I'll miss you too." I chuckled. "But I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning, before you even wake up." I promised, making Bella smile a little bit.

"Fine. But you're going to owe me. Big time." She poked my ribs and arched her neck. "Now, I need a goodbye kiss." Bella said throatily, looking at me through her eyelashes. I leaned down to kiss her, lacing my fingers in her hair to pull her up against my body.

We deepened the kiss, which continued for several minutes, before Bella broke away, breathing heavily but smiling.

"Now get out of here." She teased, kicking me lightly.

"I love you." I smiled, kissing her one last time.

"I love you too. Have fun, okay?" Bella watched me grab my suitcase. I paused at the door and turned around to face her.

"I'll miss you." I murmured, blowing a kiss.

"I'll miss you too, baby." Bella murmured. "But I'll be here when you get back."

So I turned and walked away.

A/N: This is a very short chapter, but I just wanted the Bella-breakdown and a little EPOV. I will update with a much longer chapter ASAP. Please review!
