Chp 4:

I got up and slid the window open, scared of what was coming. I hope Alice is seeing this...I could really use some help. Jacob came in, his body alone warming my room from the rain outside.

"Why'd you run away from me?!" he growled.

"Jacob...You know why...You know exactly why." I said, trying to stay calm.

"Bells. You can NOT run away from me. YOU know that..."

He was really freaking me out. Why did he think he could do this? I glanced at the clock, hoping it was about time for Edward to show up for the night. It was 9:47 pm. All I had to do was stall for 15 min, because I could count on Edward to be on time.

"Jacob. Please, You know I love you as my bestfriend. It was wrong to...uh...do that. Edward...you know what Edward means to me."

"I do, and that's exactly why I'm here. You picked the wrong person, Bells." His voice was calmer now.

It was 9:50. Ten minutes...

"Bella! I said look at me!" Jacob was furious.

"Jacob, I'm looking. Please calm down." I said. Then he did the last thing I would have ever expected.

Jacob dropped to his knees and started crying. My jaw dropped and so did I. I didn't really care about the last five minutes. Jacob, my bestfriend, who pretends to be Mr.Tough Guy all the time, was sitting on my bedroom floor crying his eyes out. I wrapped my arms around his big body, not able to reach all the way around the muscle. Jacob's eyes all ready had my shirt soaking wet. As he cryed on my shoulder, Edward came through the window. With a suprise look, his eyes asked what was going on.

"I-It's Ok...I-I kn-know h-h-he's here." Jacob stuttered.

Edward looked as suprised as I had when I figured out Jacob was crying. Soaking wet from rain, Edward patted Jacob on the back and jumped out of the window. Jacob looked up.

"Bells, I'm so sorry for everything. I love you."

And almost as fast as Edward, he was out the window. I knew he had to have phased on his way down. My jaw dropped for the second time in one night. My floor was getting soaked from all this coming in and out of the window. Deep in thought, I went and layed on my bed. Edward, already dry, was by my side within minutes. I didn't notice until I felt an ice-cold kiss on the top of my head. I snuggled in to the bends of Edward's body, fitting like a puzzle piece under my thick quilt.

"What was going on, love?" Edward murmmered softly into my ear. My answer took a minute to form, his delicious smell clouding my mind.

"Jacob just burst in saying that I picked the wrong person. Edward...he...he kissed me today. I couldn't make him stop either. I ran off and drove home and pretty soon he came to my window, asking me how on earth I could have ran off. That I know I can't run away from him. Then he just fell to his knees and started crying!" My voice was growing louder.

"Shh...Shh...its okay..."

"I love you" I breathed in deep, not able to get enough of him.

Laughing at me getting off subject, Edward said "I love you to Bella."

Suddenly Edward looked up, very alert.

"What's wrong Edward? What's going on?" I said, trying to keep my worried voice a whisper.

"Shh...not much. We just woke Charlie. I'll be back soon." Edward said so quietly only I would have been able to hear it if there had been more people in the room. I pretended to be asleep as Edward leaped out of the window. A very sleepy, annoyed Charlie opened my door.

"Bells, What's going on in here? I heard talking."

Pretending I just woke up, I answered him.

"Huh? Oh Hey, Charlie. What did you say?"

"I said I heard talking." he murmmered.

"Sorry Dad, It was probably just me dreaming. Sorry...You can go back to sleep."

He left the room and I didn't let out my breathe until I heard his door close. I was the worst liar!
