I need to start by apologising profusely for the delay in this chapter, but I have everything planned out now! This the start of the part which corresponds with New Moon, Laura's version: Navigating New Moon.

Thank you for all your reviews and messages, asking where I had gone and when I would start again, it was a real boost for me.

Once again, thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 15 (Navigating New Moon)

The prom was over and as much I had resisted going it had been amazing. Dancing with Edward is so easy and although my feet ached I couldn't help but feel that right now my life is perfect I'm sat outside the Cullen's house, Edward is beside me. The cool breeze is settled after the stifling hot dress, heels and continual dance.

"Twilight," I murmured as the light dipped, I felt him stir beside me. "The safest time of the day for you."

"Every moment with you is perfect, I look forward to each and every day I'm with you," he kissed the top of my head, I was really beginning to feel sleepy now. "So the lion fell in love with the lamb..." I think he thought I was asleep.

"...but the lion fell for the wrong lamb," I insisted, my words sounded dopey, I needed sleep, my body craved rest.

"I'm never leaving you," as he spoke I fell to sleep, but I couldn't dream, I could never dream of anything else when I had Edward.

The summer flew by in a haze; I was with Edward and Alice almost constantly. I spent enough time with Bella and Charlie to keep them both happy and I did enough chores around the house for Charlie to be at ease in my company. The only thing that concerns me is Bella's approaching birthday, although invited Edward and his family have declined their invitation. Bella locked herself in her room that day, Charlie was confused by her extreme reaction but I created a distraction by going fishing with him. I think I've only just got rid of the smell out of the clothes I wore, but it seemed to make him happy.

The day has finally arrived, it's Bella's birthday. I whispered goodbye to Edward from my newly purchased fold away bed in the living room at 6am. I helped Charlie with the decorations for the house and preparing food, we both spent the morning with Bella opening presents, eating cake and playing music. Her friends began to arrive at dinner but as the evening was underway I noticed Bella had disappeared for the second time from her celebrations. I followed her this time and saw that she appeared to be watching the road, waiting.

"They're not coming," I explained, I'd obviously startled her as she turned and took a step backwards.

"I don't know what..."

"The Cullen's aren't coming Bella."

"You told them," Bella insisted.

"Yes," I explained.

"Why would you do that?"

"I'm not going to just sit back and let people get hurt for no reason," I replied, walking to her side.

"It was my last hope," Bella whispered her eyes drifting to gaze at her feet.

"I'm sorry," I whispered back, returning to the party. I was only in the house for several minutes when I heard the thunder of steps upstairs, I followed. "Bella," I slipped into her room before she had chance to slam the door shut. "We need to sort this!"

"You have ruined my life, what else is there to talk about," she whispered collapsing on the bed.

"We can sort this," I pleaded.

"There's only one way it can be sorted," I saw her glance towards the closet. "Please," she whispered.

"Bella it doesn't work!" I responded shocked.

"Please!" she shouted it this time and heard footsteps outside her room. "Now!" she grabbed my top and yanked me towards the closet door, surprised at her sudden movements I had no time to resist. My balance was all wrong and I had not time to protest. As I twisted under her grip I just had time to notice Jacob burst into the room before I was shut in the darkness of the closet.

"Bella!" I yelped the door slamming behind me, my back flat against the wall. I instantly lurched forward and grabbed the handle, twisting it I found myself back home.

"No," I took a step forward, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"Laura?" A voice spoke from behind me, it was familiar.

"Laura," It was Jacob, I turned to find him stepping into my room. Why had he followed me here? "Where are we?"

"No," I yelped. "Jake you need to go back!"

"Where are we?"

"Turn around," I grabbed his shoulders and desperately tried to push him back.

"Laura! What the heck?"

"Go back!"

"Did we just fall out of your closet? This isn't Bella's room," he asked.

"JAKE!"

"Calm down woman," he patted me on the shoulder; his increasing strength was already evident.

"Please, Jake. Right, step back in my closet, shut the door, wait for a few seconds and then open it again," I spoke carefully.

"Laura, I don't get what's happened..." Jacob settled on my bed.

"This is my world, it's different to yours," I sat beside him, my head in my hands.

"What..." I lifted my head up and took the Twilight Saga from my bookshelf. "Read these," I ordered and he took them from me, studying the covers and reading snippets I gauged his reaction. From the frown quickly appearing on his face I think he understood.

"Laura this weird, freaky. Bella and Edward..."

"Not Edward and Laura," I finished.

"Where are we now?"

"In my world and frankly I have no idea how we get back!" I felt my eyes begin to water as a tissue was shoved into my spare hand. I never understood how Bella got so emotional in New Moon but I guess I was about to find out.
