I do not own Twilight. I own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"She's having hallucinations. Is that why she is being a daredevil all of a sudden?" Tiffani thought looking between Bella and Jacob.

"You know better," Charlie said not having heard what Bella said. Jacob did hear her and he was shaking slightly. He gave a glare to the ground before he disappeared into the surrounding forest.

"Strange," Tiffani thought before focusing on Bella. "We need to talk," she whispered to Bella, who gave her a curious look.

"Are you alright to drive home?" Charlie asked Bella, who gave a small nod. "Tiffani will ride home with you to make sure you come straight home," he ordered and both girls nodded. He left first and the girls walked to Bella's truck.

"What do you mean by you saw Edward?" Tiffani asked after Bella drove out of Jacob's driveway.

Bella jumped and looked at her cousin for a while before deciding actually to talk to somebody about this. "I've been seeing him when I've gotten into dangerous situations," she answered and her cousin nodded with a frown.

"But you know he's not really there, right?" Tiffani asked softly.

"I know, but I just miss him so much that just seeing him for that little bit of time is worth it," Bella answered and Tiffani glared out the window.

"Is it worth maybe losing your life if you just get to see Edward one more time, even though it is not the real him?" Tiffani asked with a small bite to her voice.

"I just miss him," Bella said after a little while.

Tiffani sighed and ran her hands through her hair. "I understand, but Bella there are so many other guys out there. I mean for goodness sakes, you are leading Jacob on. If you do not intend to reciprocate his feelings with your own real feelings, it's not fair to him or to you," she said and looked at her cousin, who looked ready to cry or shut down.

"Look, I'm not trying to be the bad guy, but you need to realize that you are just a teenage girl in high school, just like me. We're not supposed to fall head over heels and swear our undying love to somebody. There is nothing wrong with having a relationship and finding somebody, but do not basically sell your soul so deeply to someone that you might not even see after graduation," she said, which did make Bella start to cry.

"I can't deal with this," she thought covering her eyes. "Bella, if he really loved you back then he would come back. I do not see him anywhere so you should move on to better and happier things," she said and looked at her cousin.

"You don't understand," Bella cried.

"I've never heard that before," Tiffani thought before silence grew in the truck. "Bella, just promise me this, if you need help or if it has to deal with that guy then you include me. I'm your cousin and even though you may not care for my methods of getting you out of your depression, I'm here to help you and I care for you. I do not want anything bad to happen to you," she said and gave her cousin a side hug.

"Thanks," Bella said with a small smile.

"Well let's go inside, Embry and Lexi should be here soon and I have something to say," Tiffani said with a wink. Bella entered the house first and sent a small smile back at her cousin, who was following her.

Tiffani entered the house and closed the door. She would let Embry and Lexi have their private goodbye before Lexi opened the door. She would then say something that has been bugging her for a while if neither of the other two mentioned it.

Lexi gave a happy sigh as she and Embry walked to the front door of Charlie's house. They were holding hands with happy smiles on their faces. "I had a fun time today," she said looking up at Embry when they stopped in front of the door.

"I had a great time too. Would you, this is going to sound weird, but I felt close to you the first time we met. However, I feel like it is more than that, like we've met before the other day," Embry said and Lexi's eyes widened.

"You felt it too?" she asked in surprise and ignored the muffled laughter she heard behind the front door. She would kick Tiffani later.

"Yes, which is why I'm asking if you will be my girlfriend?" he asked and she felt her heart stutter at the nervous yet happy look on his face. "I know it may be too soon, but I really like you," Embry said and would have kept rambling if Lexi had not gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"How can I say no after that?" she asked with a smile. His whole face lit up and he picked her up. He spun her around a few times before he kissed her on the lips. Her eyes widened in surprise and he went to jump back, but she had her arms around his neck and he could not get away. "Wait, it's ok. I liked the kiss but no need to rush," she whispered and gave him a wink.

He felt a blush heat his cheeks and he smiled down at her. "I'm glad," he said before kissing her cheek and telling her goodnight.

Lexi opened the door as fast as she could and smirked when Tiffani stumbled back and fell onto the stairs. "That's what you get for spying," Lexi said before hugging her friend and telling her about the date.

"I'm glad you two had fun," Tiffani said before filling Lexi in on what she missed earlier about Bella.

"The only one in this house that I trust near a motorcycle is you because you grew up with them," Lexi said to her friend, who just smiled as she remembered all the times her parents went to motorcycle rallies.

"Well hopefully tomorrow will be a better day," Tiffani said and she immediately had a bad feeling.

Her bad feeling was proved correct when she, Bella, and Lexi went to La Push. Lexi and Tiffani were dropped off at Embry's house and Bella drove off, but not to Jacob's house. "She's going to the cliff," Tiffani thought remembering the direction that she and Paul had went to get to the cliff. She started running as fast as she could to get to the cliff before Bella did something stupid. The others were following her with confused shouts.

"Bella, no," Tiffani screamed when she saw Bella dive off the cliff. She ran faster and dove off the cliff after her.

"Tiffani," Lexi screamed out of surprise and fear for her friend. She watched her friend dive into the water and she disappeared from view. Neither Bella nor Tiffani was coming up to surface for air yet. Lexi was staring nervously down and Jacob arrived out of nowhere. He was about to jump into the water, but Tiffani broke through the surface. She held Bella under one arm and she was swimming towards the shore and safety.

"So glad she's a good swimmer, but I'm killing her after this," Lexi yelled as she ran towards the shore.

Bella coughed up water after she and Tiffani reached the security of the shore. Lexi, Embry, Paul, and Jacob were standing around the two of them, but they gave the girls room to breathe.

"Why did you do that? I told you not to do something stupid that could kill you just so you could see an illusion," Tiffani yelled shaking from the cold. Jacob helped Bella stand up and Tiffani stood up on her own. Lexi quickly grabbed her arm to steady her. "Do you know how sad your dad would be if you had died? Do you realize how close you were to leaving this world and the people that care about you? Is high school romance worth all that?" she yelled again at her cousin, but everybody could see sadness in her eyes when she looked at Bella. "If I ever meet this Edward then I'm kicking the crap out of him and he will wish that he never left you," Tiffani screamed before walking away from the beach.

"Are you alright?" Lexi asked after the two had walked a distance away from everybody. Paul and Embry were following them but at a distance.

"Just take me home," Tiffani whispered and they made their way to Embry's truck. Lexi wanted to sit in the back with Tiffani, but Paul took her spot. She was surprised to see him hold Tiffani close to him. Her friend seemed to relax in his hold so she just focused on the drive back to Charlie's house. Curiosity flashed across her face when she saw an unknown car sitting in the driveway.
