J POV

Every cell in my body ached to slam the door in her face. To tell her to go home to Alaska, that she had won. I wanted to yell at her and make her feel bad for stealing what was mine. My Edward was now Bella's Edward once again. The wolf inside me wanted to hate her. She was a vampire and she had stolen my imprint. But, when I looked into her amber eyes I saw my best friend. Her eyes were no longer chocolate brown, her cheeks weren't red with color anymore and her skin was ice cold. But, the way her hair fell in her face and the way she chewed her bottom lip and the sadness in her eyes told me she was the same Bella.

This was the girl who came to me broken, thinking that the world was over when Edward had left her the first time. Just looking in her eyes back then I could feel the gut wrenching pain she was in. Bella's emotions always showed on her face, and it was my duty to make her smile again. Somewhere in my twisted logic I fell in love with her, and even though somewhere deep down I knew she would never really feel the same way towards me, I had to try. When the world decided to grace me with my birthright it was Bella who kept me grounded when I thought I was losing myself. Then Edward had to come waltzing back into her life and take her away from me. And as if the world didn't hate me enough, I had to go and imprint on Edward. My world is one big fucked up ball of pain, and the look in her eyes told me the pain was going to get worse.

We stood there for a long moment just looking at each other. I didn't know what to say, or why she was here. Did she come to gloat? To rub in my face that Edward clearly didn't love me like he said he did. That's how my life goes right? I fall for Bella and she chooses Edward. I fall for Edward and he chooses Bella. I felt like a pawn in someone's game. Somewhere some sadistic asshole was sitting back laughing at me. He would give me happiness and laugh as he took it away from me.

"Jake" Bella finally spoke very softly. The side of her lips pulled up into a sweet smile. And with a sigh, I moved to the side so she could come into the house. After closing the door Bella gently took my hand and led me to the couch in the empty living room. I had not yet said a word, and was at a loss as to what to say, so I let her lead me and sat next to her. She let go of my hand and turned her body to face me. I knew I looked like hell from the crying and lack of sleep so I focused my eyes on my hands in my lap.

"We need to talk Jake"

Here it comes. The speech where she tells me it's her and not me, except this time it's him and not me. I nodded my head and continued to look down.

"First off I want to tell you I'm sorry. I heard what happened in Alaska with Edward and as you can imagine he is a mess right now."

My heart did a little flip hearing of Edward in pain, butt I locked my jaw. I was not going to feel bad for him. He was the one who caused this mess.

"Jake, I have a lot to explain to you. I need to make you understand why I'm here and why I ended up back with the Cullen's."

That's easy, she came back for Edward. I nodded again.

With a deep sigh, she began to explain.

"I guess I should start at the beginning. As you know when I ran out of mine and Edward's wedding I went to California. With what little money I had I rented an apartment and got a job at the local supermarket. I was alone and heartbroken. I applied to a few collages and after a month or so I started going to USC studying Philosophy. A month later I met someone. His name was Stephen, and I met him in one of my classes. He asked me out on a date and I turned him down twice."

My lip twitched into a small smile. I knew how stubborn Bella could be.

"The third time he asked me out I finally said yes. We went out to dinner and talked for hours. When the sun came out the next morning and we were still walking along the beach talking, I knew he was special. It didn't take me long to fall head over heels in love with him. Everything with him was easy. Finally I was free to give my heart to someone without worrying about hurting someone else in the process. And so I did.

Stephen became my boyfriend and we moved in together. We had classes together and the nights I didn't work, we spent at home. He was really wonderful too me."

Bella stopped then and took another deep breath. I turned my head to look at her and noticed her eyes were closed and her hands were fidgeting in her lap. When she started to speak again her voice was very shaky.

"On our three month anniversary Stephen had a whole night planned for us. When I came home from school that day the whole apartment was decorated with red roses. Rose petals lined the floor leading the bedroom, where a new dress laid on the bed. The note laying beside the dress told me I should put on the dress and a limo would be picking me up in an hour.

When I arrived at the restaurant Stephen met me outside and helped me from the car. It was a magical night. He was very romantic. We laughed and held hands, and I cried when he told me he loved me. To say I was shocked when he pulled out a little black box and asked me to marry him is an understatement. I think I cried for an hour before I could answer him."

My head whipped around to look at her in shock. She didn't look at me though. It seemed like she was a thousand miles away. Her head was turned forward and her eyes looked as though she was seeing the story she was telling me. After a minute she shook her head as if breaking from a trance and finally looked at me.

"When dinner was over and the ring was on my finger, he asked me if I was ready to go home. It had gotten dark outside and it was a little chilly so he told me to wait inside as he went to the car to get my jacket. A few minutes later I could hear screeching tires, and then the screaming started. I jumped up from my seat and ran outside to see what had happened.

When I reached the street I found my Stephen. He was bleeding and broken after being hit by a speeding car."

"oh god" I whispered, speaking for the first time. I took her hand as she continued.

"When I reached him he was barely breathing. I got blood on my dress as I laid his head in my lap. I held his hand, and with his last breath he told me he was sorry, and that he loved me."

She didn't stop me as I reached for her and pulled her into a hug. My shirt didn't get wet because she no longer had the ability to cry tears, but her breathing was ragged against my chest. I rocked us for a few minutes before she pulled away.

"You are only the second person I have told that story. The first being Edward. Jake, I need you to know that the phone call was my fault. Once Edward and I started talking everything just spilled out. We talked about Stephen and Edward wanted to know every detail. He asked about school and of course we talked about the wedding."

I had to look down again. That did sort of explain the phone call, but not everything else.

"Jake, Edward explained to me that our failed relationship has effected your relationship because he felt bad. Yes, Edward did hurt me when he fell in love with you. I thought Edward belonged to me, and that I would never find love again. But I did..."

She reached over to touch my cheek, and turned my face to look at her.

"I found love Jake, and so did you. I may have lost mine, but you still have yours. Edward loves you more then anything Jake, and I need you to know that I DID NOT come back to the Cullen's to get Edward back. I came back because I wanted a family. I needed my sister's and brother's back. I needed my best friend."

I couldn't stop the smile then. "You are my best friend Bella, I'm so sorry about your boyfriend. I wish I could have been there for you." Pulling her against my chest again she laughed. When she pulled back, her face turned serious again.

"Does this make it better Jake? To know that he wasn't purposely ignoring you? He was just being a friend when I needed one."

I felt a little better about the phone call, but that didn't explain the rest of his behavior. I wasn't ready to forgive just yet.

"Bella we didn't break up just because of a phone call. There was more to it then that."

She nodded her head and looked as though she was in thought for a second.

"Jake, I'm not sure what happened when we got off the phone, but I do know that at the end of our conversation, Edward did tell me how bad he felt that he let his failure effect your relationship. So I can only take a guess and say that he was mad at himself."

I let my head fall again. Why would he be mad at himself and take it out on me?

"Honey, I know better then anyone that when Edward has a problem he over reacts very badly. I think he had been holding on to the guilt for so long, and then when he figured out that it had all been for nothing he was mad at himself. As for the Airport, I take full responsibility for that. I know it was totally inappropriate and I apologize. I wasn't thinking."

I couldn't speak. I hadn't really thought about all the unresolved issues they needed to work out. Actually, I take that back. I knew all about the issues they had, I just didn't think I would be pushed aside as they worked them out. But, now that I knew that he never stopped loving me and that Bella wasn't back to take Edward from me, I was starting to feel better.

"Forgive me?"

I nodded my head. I did forgive her. She was my best friend and she had come here and told me something really painful to save my relationship. I just wondered...

"Why didn't he come with you?" I whispered looking at my bare feet.

I looked up shocked as she started to giggle. Her eyes were shining and I could see her bright white teeth as she laughed. She shook her head bemused and reached into her pocked and pulled out a phone.

"You two really are very cute" she said and started to dial. I just looked at her confused as to what the hell she could be laughing at.

"Alice, Tell Emmett and Jasper to let him go now." she said into the phone and then hung up.

"Let who go?" I asked. What the hell was going on?

Bella stood from the couch and pulled me up with her, Just as the door to the cabin flew open and Edward rushed inside. My breath caught as I looked at his beautiful face. He looked frantic with worry and I wanted to hold him. I had only been without him almost a day and I missed him so much I wanted to cry.

When did I turn into such a girl?. Pull it together dammit Jacob.

"Jacob" Bella said. "The whole family came here to bring you back home. I convinced them to let me make things right first. Emmett and Jasper have been holding Edward hostage in the woods while I told you my story. I want to again say I am very sorry to both of you. It was never my intent to come between the two of you. I know you love each other and I would never try and change that."

Bella stepped around Edward to the door. She looked at her watch and then back at us.

"It is now 12:00 and the plane leaves back to Alaska at midnight. I expect the two of you to talk and make up or I will be sending Emmett....."

Bella kept talking but it was like her voice faded out to nothing. She was still there but the only thing I was conscious of was Edward. His golden eyes were slowly turning black. My heart started to pound. He looked like he was going to eat me. I drew in one sharp breath and in one quick movement too quick for even my eyes, Edward slammed me against the wall and his lips were on mine. The world sped up and all of a sudden I could hear everything again. I could hear when Edward tore my shirt from my body. I heard when our bodies tumbled to the floor and most of all I heard the whimper come from my throat as Edward's tongue invaded my mouth.

When Edward pulled his mouth from mine to let me breath, his lips started sucking on the side of my neck and nipping at my ear. I thought I was going to die it felt so good. My chest was heaving and my breathing was out of control, and I couldn't stop myself from crying out when Edward started bucking his hips against mine. My head was thrown back and I was almost sobbing as Edward forced my legs apart with his knee and started thrusting his cock against mine.

I didn't know if Bella had left, and I couldn't find it in me to care. If she didn't, she was going to get a free show. I needed him now, and I didn't care if it was on the floor of our empty cottage.

Suddenly Edwards face came up and his eyes locked with mine. He was searching my eyes again, like he had done on the airplane. He started speaking then and he punctuated every word with a thrust of his hips against mine. "Never...Doubt...that...I...Love...You." I was a whimpering mess, holding onto him for dear life. My hands came up to tangle in his hair and pull his lips back to mine. It has been so long since he had kissed me that I didn't think I was ever going to be able to stop.

He tasted sweet and I wanted to swallow him whole. I cried out into his mouth when he rolled his hips against mine. I was so hard I felt like I was going to burst. Edward must have finally started listening to my thoughts because suddenly my pants were being ripped from my body and Edward was tearing the cloths from his body. When Edward was as naked as I was, he hovered over my trembling body on his hands and knees. I thought he was going to kiss me again, but he just watched as my eyes snapped shut and I cried out, when his Ice cold hand wrapped around the base of my cock. He started pumping me very gently from base to tip.

"No...Ed...I...I can't" I tried to tell him to stop, but his hand was driving me crazy. I couldn't get a sentence out. When his hand came up to the tip and his thumb swept over the head of my cock, I cried out and my body jerked. "P-please Edward" I begged him. I was dangerously close to orgasm and I wanted him inside me. I tried to picture Edward pushing into me to get him to fuck me already, but he just moaned and leaned down to lick my nipple. His soft lips and cold tongue continued to explore down my chest and stomach. When he got to my hip bones he nipped at the skin, careful not to break it, and then sucked the skin into his mouth. Loud moan fell from my lips as I felt pleasure and pain. Edward then pulled back and licked over the bruise he had given me.

When Edward first got here we were frenzied to get close enough to each other. And now, Edward looked like he was trying to learn my body all over again. Like the first time we made love. I however was hard as a rock and aching and I wanted Edward right fucking now. Whenever I would try and touch him he would slap my hand away. If I tried to touch myself anywhere Edward would growl at me. I was quickly becoming frustrated.

"Edward, I love you"

I said hoping to move things along. Edward repaid me by sucking extra hard on the skin on the back of my knee drawing out a loud moan from my lungs. He knew that was one of my secret spots to drive me crazy.

"Baby...Please, I need you now. Please"

I wasn't above begging, but my voice sounded like I was sobbing. When I felt a tear slide down the side of my face I noticed that I really was sobbing. I had been without him so long, and spent so many nights in bed alone that I had forgotten what it felt like to have his skin touching mine. I had forgotten how much time we used to spend just holding each other and loving each other. I needed him so much, and now that I had him back, I couldn't even get his attention.

Suddenly Edward stopped what he was doing and his body was over mine again. His eyes were on my face and his thumbs were wiping the tears from my eyes. He leaned in and kissed me gently. He kissed my forehead, my eyes, my nose and as he finally pushed inside me he captured my mouth with his. We both groaned into the slow sweet kiss as our bodies reconnected. We made love for hours. When Edward wasn't kissing me, he was whispering to me how sorry he was and how much he loved me.

The last thing I remember before falling asleep was Edward picking me up and carrying me to the bed. Edward crawled in bed with me and held me to his chest, messaging my scalp gently until I fell asleep.

"Jacob" I heard someone whisper right next to my ear. I wasn't quite ready to be awake yet so I nuzzled my head into the pillow and pulled the blanket over my head. Someone next to me, who I assumed was Edward chuckled and tried to pull the blanket away. I held it tighter to me and heard Edward sigh.

"Baby, The plane leaves in an hour. You have to get up and get ready"

Edward explained softly through the blanket. I forgot all about Alaska when Edward attacked me in the living room this morning. The last time he did that was two semester's ago and I had to get up early to go take my last final. When I came home from school I found that Edward had cooked my favorite dinner and had decorated the cottage with candles for a romantic night. The minute I walked in the door though, Edward Threw me against the door and kissed me until I nearly passed out and then he fucked me hard an fast on the living room floor in front of the fire place. My body shuttered at that memory. Hmmm I wonder....

"Baby?" I said from under the blanket. I could feel Edward come closer to me.

"Are you ready to get up now love?"

"Um no not really, I was just thinking about that night you made me dinner for acing my classes. Do you remember that?"

"Of course, I had candles set out everywhere and I made you a steak dinner....."

"You forgot when you threw me..."

"Um Jake..."

"Against the door and kissed me until I couldn't breath. And you sucked on my neck for a while until I had a....

"Baby" He said again trying to get my attention but I wasn't listening.

"Hickey, and then you took me in and bent me over the couch..."

"JACOB BLACK!!" Edward screamed finally.

I burst out laughing and threw the blanket off my face. That is when I noticed that the WHOLE Cullen family stood in our bedroom. Each one of them stood there with their mouths hanging open and eyes wide. I could feel my face start to burn and I knew I was going to turn red. So I did the only thing that I thought was mature in this situation. I pulled the blanket back over my head and dove under my pillow. I kept repeating "Ohmygod,ohmygod,ohmybod" over and over again.

After everyone was done laughing, and I still refused to come out from under the blanket, Edward kicked everyone out and told them we would take the first flight out in the morning. I was too mortified to even come out and tell them goodbye. Edward crawled in bed with me and made love to me until the early morning hours. I knew we needed to have a long talk, but for right now I just wanted to be happy.

When we left the cottage this time, we were in love and ready to start a new life togather.

End Note: I don't really like how it ended, but here you are. let me know what you think.
