A/N: Thank you for all the reviews. Sorry this chapter is so short, I was a little pressed for time.

"Bella, darling. Wake up please."

"What did you do to her?"

"Nothing, dog, she fainted."

"Jake. . . Is that you?" I said slowly waiting for it all to rush back

"Yeah, I'm here Bella, and so is the bloodsucker. Do you want me to make him leave?" I could sense a hint of a smile when Jake said the last part.

"As if you could dog." Edward let the acid leak into his voice.

I slowly opened my eyes and found that I was lying on my bed, Edward on one side, and Jake on the other. They were both holding one of my hands.

"Knock it off you two. Charlie's downstairs." I said as I sat up in bed. I quickly ripped by hand out of Edwards and held on fast to Jake's.

"I think you should leave Edward, you're not welcome here." I said without taking my eyes off of Jake. He had clearly run all the way here, because he was only wearing a pair of cut of shorts, no shirt as usual.

"Bella, I'm not leaving you here with this, dog, it's not safe. You have no idea how dangerous they are." Edward was clearly concerned, his black eyes seemed to pierce my soul.

"Like I would ever hurt her the way that you did." Jakes hand was shaking in mine. Edward immediately sprung up and pulled me up with him.

"Get your hands off of me." I tried to get away from Edward, but he was too strong for me.

This off course only sent Jacob even more off the edge. Soon his whole body was starting to shake.

"Let go of me Edward, now!" I continued to struggle in his arms.

"Bella, you have to see how dangerous he is." Edward was starting to pull me behind him so that his body was acting as a shield to protect me. I could hear a low growl start up in his chest.

"He can't hurt me any worse than you did. Now let me go." That was a low shot, but it did the trick. Edward was stunned and lost his grip on me for a moment. I took that time to slip away from him and run over to Jake.

I quickly put my hands on his chest to calm him down. "Breath Jake, its fine." Slowly the shaking stopped and Jake was back to normal. I quickly turned to Edward and glared. "I suggest that you leave not, before I call Charlie up here."

Without saying another word Edward walked over to my window and opened it to go out. "This isn't over Bella. I will get you back." With that he jumped out the window and disappeared.

I walked over to the window and shut it, and made sure it was locked. "Thank you Jake."

"It was my pleasure Bella. I would do anything for you, you know that." Jake's husky voice quickly altered me to the fact that he right next to me. I was suddenly all too aware of how little Jake was wearing.

Jake quickly pulled me over to the bed and sat me down. All the tension that I had been carrying around with me today released. I could not hold back the tears that followed. As I cried into Jakes chest he slowly stroked my hair, whispering the whole time that things were going to be okay.

After what seemed like forever I was all cried out. I pulled myself together and dried my eyes off.

"Bella, you need to tell me everything that went on while you were gone. Sam wants to know why their back and how long their staying." Jake slowly adjusted me in his arms so that I was sitting next to him with his arm around my shoulders.

"Jake, I don't know where to start. There's this group of 'normal' vampires called the Volturi." As I explained the story to Jake, he started to shake. Just a little than he got it under control, at least until I got to the point about Alice agreeing to turn me.

"They agreed to what. There is no way in hell that they are going to do that." Jake was shaking uncontrollably now. He quickly jumped up and started to climb out my window.

"Jake, there was no other choice. It was either that or they kill me then and there. Where are you going?" I was scared that I had done something wrong. That now he was going to leave me, just like Edward had done.

"Bella, I'm barley holding on here, I need to go before I lose control. I'll be back." As Jake leapt out the window, I could see where he had been gripping the window sill. He had left hug hand prints. That would not be fun to explain to Charlie.

Now that I was finally alone I was fully able to look at what had happen the past few days. Not long ago I was jumping off cliffs to hear Edwards voice, and now that he was back I was pushing him away. What had happened to me in that time that had made me hate him so much. No I didn't hate him, I could never hate Edward. I no longer knew what I felt about him. Now that he was back I actually felt whole, but that only meant that I could feel the full extent of what he had done to me.

It was time for me to move past the pain, time for me to move on. Edward was my past, not my future he had made that clear. But what was I going to do about the Volturi? I wasn't sure that I wanted to be a vampire anymore. Now that Edward and I weren't like that anymore, what reason did I have for becoming one of them? But if I didn't turn than the Volturi would surely kill us all. If it came down to becoming a vampire or having all of the people that I love die, I would gladly turn.

And that is the decision that I came to while waiting for Jake to return. I was going to become a vampire then I was going to leave, forever.
