Sorry so late was just blank on how to continue, but I'm good now and hope you like what came out of it. And I'm sure you all have questions since Embry's ex and Bella's ex seem to be dating now. Or are they? Maybe I just want to drive you all nuts. Guess you will have to wait and see...LOL

BELLA

Much of the ride I was laying down in the backseat just wanting to try and forget about things. Hearing Jake about why he did what he did to Jessica did make me smile at least on the inside still couldn't bring myself to do it physically for anyone. I knew Embry and Jake were talking while he drove but I'm not one to listen in so I allowed my mind to just close off for a little in the hopes of getting some rest. Yet every time I closed my eyes it was black and silent in my mind at first but than I would start seeing a replay of what has happen to me usually with Jasper as the main cause and my rest would turn into a struggle. It wasn't long before I finally forced myself back awake and found us still moving, sighing softly I remained on the back seat laying on my side trying to forget the horror I was just going through all over again. Rather annoying that despite Jasper not even knowing where I am he still manages to make my life a living hell.

"Jake?.. Jake! watch it!"

I suddenly heard as the car jerked "What the hell Jake!" Embry yelled. My head popping up looking around in panic one minute remembering the hell I have been through, the next feeling scared of us crashing. "Sorry guys, I ..I.. just got a little dizzy" Jake finally said snapped before smiling softly at me. "We'll talk later Bry" he said under his breathe. "Yeah fine whatever just pay attention to the road Jake" The little back and forth confusing me even more and making me wondering what the hell I missed while resting. Rubbing my forehead some and trying to calm down seeing as Jake had gotten the car back under control. Now if I could just get my thoughts, my heart and my life on the right track. My inner fight cut short as Embry's voice suddenly caught my attention,"Are you ok?" Letting my eyes move to him a moment before nodding, not trusting my voice though noticed him giving a glare over to Jake. Yet with the car nearly going off the road figured he was just upset Jake hadn't paid attention.

The rest of the drive was in silence and to be honest it drove me crazy since all I could think about was my damn dreams, Jasper and everything it really made me feel like I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide for the rest of my life. As Jake finally pulled into a spot in Port Angelos they got out and I followed, stretching a little and letting out a breath before looking around a moment. I didn't come up there that often and wasn't sure what we would do, but at the moment this was alot better than being at the school. Though the thought of dad giving me a nice lecture when I got home wasn't something I was looking forward too or the principle possible pulling the three of us into the office about us cutting. But I shook my head not giving it another thought for now.

"Okay. So we're here now what?" I finally asked looking between the two biting on my bottom lip as I leaned on the door of Jake's car.

Jake shrugged and looked over at Embry who just shook his head and I nearly rolled my eyes but held it back. This was like some last minute choice so maybe they hadn't planned that for yet. "Let's for now just walk. Maybe one of us will see something that catches our eye. I mean we could go see a movie or just go to the bookstore or music store here." Embry finally suggested after a few minutes of silence with me and Jake both shrugging and making for the sidewalk. Which turned into a interesting sight, them in front me behind them well for a short time. Seeing as suddenly both Jake and Embry turned and pulled me up between them and smiled. I just softly looked between them before spotting a bookstore and pointing there as I began to make my way towards it.

Books were one of my ways of forgetting my trouble and who knows maybe I could find something new to buy. Shaking my head as I tried to open the door only to see the two of them grabbing for the handle and opening it for me. Oh I could see it was going to be a long afternoon as I made my way inside without a word and headed over to the fiction area, while they seemed to go off in their own direction. "Jake? Let's finish our talk." Embry said and I was glad they were giving me a little space it was nice. Not that I minded hanging out with them, just right now all I really cared about was hiding away from the world and forgetting about all the hell I had been through. Just wishing for it to go away so I didn't have to feel this way. Scanning the shelves I let out another breath before my fingers stopped over a book called 'The Host' by someone named Stephanie Meyer and after reading the back thought it sounded pretty interesting. So I moved to a couch and sat down figuring I could begin reading it maybe it would take my mind off things.

EMBRY

We all got out of the car, I watched Bella lean against Jake's car and say "Were all here, now what?" I was still annoyed with Jake and I'm sure he was with me. I know that whole ordeal in the car was about me telling him I'm possibly in love with Bella. Jake just shrugged and looked at me he always did when we were bored trying to find something to do I just shook my head. This was a last minute choice so I had no idea what to do although I should know because I was always came here with my ex and the guys. Then I thought of something

"Lets for now just walk. maybe one of us will see something that catches our eyes. I mean we could go see a movie... or just go to the bookstore or music store here "

I said shoving my hands in my skinny jean pockets looking at both of them licking my lips a little. We started to walk with Jake beside me and Bella behind with us all staying quiet which was how it usually was with Bella around. She still wasn't out of her shell yet and I don't blame her really. I just wish I could heal her make her feel better. Finally Jake and I turned around pulling her in between us and I couldn't help but smile. Then Bella took off towards a book store, and I was suddenly only thinking about her. I love that girl.. I swear I do I thought to myself. Having watched her all the time in school and just in general to see what she loved to read which seemed to be romance novels, art and plays.

More and more everyday I fall harder for her, gosh I know I sound ridiculous. But I couldn't help it there was just something there, something about her that made me feel like we belong together. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I went to go reach for the door but Jake had the same idea I did and I rolled my eyes shoving him a little and walked in after Bella. Jake and I walked in another direction while I watched over my shoulder as Bella went towards the fiction area. "Jake? Lets finish our talk" I said stopping at the comics and picked up a zombie one and flipping through it. "What is there to talk about Bry? You said what you had to say am I wrong?" Jake finally said with a little edgy tone. "What? Are you seriously going to give me attitude? I know you like her to Jake, I mean I just thought I'd tell you since we know everything about each other. I was going to ask you something, but forget it now" Irritated because he didn't even want to give me the time of day to talk about it when this was the perfect time. "Look I'm sorry Bry it is just... yeah I like her alot just I was trying to tell myself you didn't like her and than when you told me in the car." He sighed "I got jealous really jealous and pissed though I really don't know why." He said while playing with the pages of a batman comic and looking at me seriously. I just nodded and bit my lip looking up at him trying to figure out what to say just didn't want to tell him I had this strange pull... this strange urge to protect her or this odd feeling she might be my soul mate it would sound fucking crazy. Not to mention who knows how that would effect him and could possible happen between us.

Sighing I closed the comic since I would buy it later right now talking was what we needed to do. "I was going to tell you earlier or well ask you.. if you felt .. well I mean a pull.. just forget it Jake" It was just to frustrating and and I started to walk down the row of books needing to calm down. "Wait Em" he called after me pulling my shoulder back a little to keep me from leaving. " I...I. think I know what your talking about," he said scratching the back of his head and his facial expression was unsure. It made me just stop walking and crossed my arms staring at him actually shocked, well slightly."You do?..." I asked keeping my voice low so as to now gain any unwanted attention or to alert Bella of this conversation, at least not till we both figured out what was going on with all of us.

JACOB

We were all walking down the side walk in silence with Bella dragging behind as usual so Bry and I pulled her in between us. Both of us just having these smiles on our faces. Bella seemed to ignore us and instead pointed to a book store than walked toward it. Mentally I sighed to myself. I just wasn't much of a book guy more into sports and movies. But what ever Bella liked I would learn to like even if I sounded like an asshole. Though lately I seemed to be enjoying everything she did and loved anyway so one more thing wasn't going to make a difference.

I thought to myself about when she would come over after Bry and I were done eating dinner. Bella would read a little to us from a book she was into that week I mean we would have to beg her until she gave in. She was always still so nervous and skid dish around us, but the only way to break her was to get her into doing things and to make sure she knew it was ok around us. Shaking my head to clear my head I reached for the door, but Embry and I touched hands. Which made me just glare a little before opening it with him and than getting pushed me a little. Walking in after the both of them we each went our own separate ways.

Though I really wanted to follow Bella and stay away from Embry since I was still so annoyed and a little jealous from what he told me he. Honestly I didn't want to know that, but I already knew from the way he looks and studies her, he looked at her the same way I did. But I didn't want to share her. Gosh I'm being so selfish.

I followed Embry and ran my finger tips along the edges of the books I was waiting for him to say something. "Jake? Can we finish our talk?" he asked finally while picking up a zombie comic called Dawn of the Dead of course he would pick comics. I rolled my eyes and faced the other direction my mind screaming why.. why.. did he have to bring this up I didn't want to talk about it. All that I saw coming from it was us at each others throats all over one girl. "What is there to talk about Bry? You said what you had to say, am I wrong?" I asked with a definitely noticeable attitude. He snapped back at me like always, but I just kind of ignored him. Having no idea why I was being such a dick to him I mean I don't know why jealousy was making me act this way. ".. if you felt .. well I mean a pull.. just forget it Jake" was the last part all I heard him say. "Wait Em" I slightly yelled after him and pulled his shoulder to stop him from leaving. Just standing there thinking I knew exactly what he was talking about.

These feelings I get towards Bella were strong different like nothing I ever felt towards a girl before. There was heat, a shock whenever her skin would graze mine. a pull that always led me to her when we were always apart. Em cleared his throat getting my attention. "I... II... I think I know what your talking about " my words were a stuttered mess as I scratch the back of my head feeling a little unsure and it showed though thankfully not around Bella. "You do?" he asked tucking the book under his arm looking at me confused. Then someone said excuse me but I continued to ignore the person. "He said excuse me..." a calm familiar voice said to me as I turned around and automatically thought... 'oh shit great...'

There in the isle stood none other than Embry's ex-girlfriend Brianna, with some blond's arms draped around her waist smirking back at us. And if looks could of killed than the one she was sending Em would of done us both in. But what surprised me was that Embry just rolled his eyes and shook his head some, obviously not wanting to deal with this shit right now since he turned to walk away. Leaving me with my mouth hanging open and stunned. Even Brianna who I turned to look at had this wide-eyed, shocked look I guess she expected him to yell or something.

"So...that's the loser ex I see darlin' " The blond finally spoke with this odd Southern accent boy was he lucky Embry walked away other wise I think we might be paying for a new window or too.
