Chapter 6

Disclaimer: disclaimer- disclaimer: I own nothing but my own idea. All the character and the story line etc, belong to STEPHANIE MEYERS. I need so more reviews to let me know how I am doing so far. Even Flames are welcome. I know it's a little short but enjoy.

Sorry to everyone about not updating sooner but here is the next one out. Let me know what you think. Oh and this is a little push for another great fanfic writer, 3Es Queen, check out her stories I love them so maybe you will too!

"Stay with me forever" I whispered softly. When he kissed me I knew he heard me.

"I have to because you're my heart." He said into my ear while nuzzling my neck. Sam cleared his throat again to break us away from our own world. We all laughed heartily.

"Come on let's go home. I miss my Em." Sam said grabbing a bag and walking away. Quil followed still laughing. Jacob and I started off too. Someone found my shoes so I was able to walk a while. I managed to shove Edward's ring in my camping bag. I sighed with the thought that he wouldn't take the ring back. Alice! What would she think of me? And Esme, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, or even Rosalie! They will probably think that I am so stupid. Oh well I will just have to wait until I can see them again to tell them.

"Are you ok Bella? You seem pretty quiet." Jacob said pulling me on his back again. I smiled.

"I am just worried about the future. You know it's weird that's all. I know you are what I want but I am still scared about everything else." I muttered more to myself than to him but I knew he would hear me. He didn't respond with words. He only nodded.

"I will protect you if they come for you" he finally said as an after thought and pulled on his back. I shuddered a little but not for being on his back. He started to run; faster and faster, like he could smell something. I tried to look back but wasn't able to since I was holding on for dear life. We got back to La Push faster than we had left it. I was amazed at how fast Jacob could run. He was fast and so graceful. He took me to the beach. Our spot. And we sat there starring up at the stars. Jacob sat up on his elbows and traced my face and neck with his warm fingers. I closed my eyes and breathed him in.

"We should get you home Bella. I am sure that Charlie is worried sick about you. Besides that he may not like to see you in nothing but a shirt." He added the last part picking up the bottom of the shirt to reveal the treasure underneath. I laughed turning red and swat his hand away.

"You are right Jacob, so lets get going before he get home. Or he may have to shot you for stealing me." I chuckled as I got to my feet. We walked hand in hand to Billy's place so Jacob could get the rabbit. I went inside to go to the bathroom before we were on our way. Billy was sitting in the living room with the TV on. I heard voices so I slowed my walk to a snail pace.

"Yes, they are back? Jake's with them? Oh that is great, and Bella? Really? Oh wow, I must admit that I am very surprised. Do you know when they will get here? Any minute you say. Ok then thanks Sam. Oh yea sure I'll let him know." I wondered what had Sam told him and if he would tell Charlie anything. I forgot about the bathroom and went out to Jacob. He smiled when he saw me running to him.

"Let's go say hi to Billy. I am sure he is dying to see us!" I said slightly out of breathe. Jacob smiled even wider and nodded. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the house.

"Dad!! Dad! I am home. What's for dinner?" Jacob called out as soon as we hit the door. Billy rolled around the corner from the living room. He smiled at us and the look in his eyes was a mixture of gratitude and relief. I smiled at him.

"Hey Billy! How are you doing?" I asked casually. He nodded and waved us to the living room. We followed mechanically and sat on the couch. I sighed; I knew we were in for a good talking to.

"So Sam just called. Wants you to call him back Jake. And um you might want to wait to give all the details to Charlie. I just got my son back I don't want him to get shot any time soon" We all laughed at the last part. Billy cleared his throat to let us know there was more. Jacob was still holding on to my hand. Billy looked at it and raised an eyebrow.

"What's this?" He pointed at our hands intertwined. "I mean what happened with Edward? Well what I mean is how did this come to be?" he stumbled out. I grinned at Jacob who was chuckling.

"Well- Um" I said clearing my throat of invisible phlegm. "I choose to live." I shrugged. My face was burning and I felt like I was going to pass out.

"Dad, Bella choose me. We are going to be together. I um- ugh- imprinted on her-(this part he half mumbles)- but I wanted to let her choose. She needed to be the one that decided what she was going to do with her life." He stares up at the ceiling and at the floor to not make eye contact with me or Billy. Billy who was now beaming with pride just nodded. He looked at me and smiled.

"My son, are you sure that it is her." Jacob only nodded. It seemed like he was kind of sad that it was me. I felt tears stinging my eyes and shot up to run to the bathroom. They both watched me as I ran off.

"I am fine. I'll be right back" I croaked as I passed. In the bathroom I stared at myself in the little mirror. I can not believe that this is really happening. Why am I doubting myself. I love Jacob. I love him so much. But what about Edward. You loved him too and look what you have done to him. You are not worth this. I heard the little voice in my head tell me. I knew I was not worth this but I wanted Jacob. I took a deep breath and splashed some cold water on my face. When I walked out the bathroom they had stopped talking.

"Um Billy do you mind if I go home now. I would like to see my dad. Jacob I can a ride from someone else if you need to talk to your dad more." Jacob shot a distressing look at Billy.

"No Bella, he can take you home. We will finish our talk later. Oh and Bella." I turned to him. He grabbed one of my hands and looked deep into my eyes. "Thank you for bringing him home." I only nodded and walked toward the door. Jacob was right behind me.

"You are not mad are you? Cause of what we were talking about." I stopped to look at him. I gave him a weak smile.

"Of course not. I am not mad. I know that I will probably have the same kind of talk with Charlie. So without further a due lets take me home." I started to run to the car. Jacob came up behind me and picked me up. We laughed the rest of the way to the rabbit. He put me in and closed the door behind me. My things were already in the back so that was one less thing I had to worry about.

We got to Charlie's and thankfully he was not there yet. We ran into the house. Jacob brought in my things. He carried me up the stairs us laughing all the way. When we reached my room Jacob froze. He placed me down and went in front of me. I started to wonder what was he doing then he hit me. Edwards smell is all over my room. To my surprise when he opened the door and there on my bed.

"Bella!" She squealed and ran towards me. We hugged a long sisterly embrace. I knew Jacob was fuming but he didn't start to shake or anything.

"Alice!??" I squealed!
