I GOT A LOT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LAST CHAPTER ABOUT WHO THE BOY WAS, AND IT WAS JACOB. BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER EDWARD HAD NEVER BEEN INTRODUCED TO JACOB, SO HE HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS. BUT YES IN FACT IT WAS OUR DEAR FRIEND JACOB.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried and I failed. He didn't want me or my love. Alice said he was just as miserable as I was about the whole thing but he didn't show it. After that day in the parking lot it was like I no longer existed, I walked around with no purpose. Charlie got tired of this and threaten to send me back to Renee if I didn't start acting normal again. And even though I had nothing left here, I just couldn't leave. Not yet at least. I was just sitting in my room staring at the ceiling like I do every night now, when Charlie came bursting in with Jacob in tow.

"Get up and dressed, Jake is taking you to the winter festival at school." Charlie said in a cold tone.

"I am not in the mood Dad, maybe some other time." I turned on to my side so that my back was facing them. But I then suddenly felt to warm arms encircle my waist and lift me off the bed and onto the floor. "Hey! I told you I am not in the mood to go out tonight." I tried to go back to my bed, when I felt Jake's arms around me again, leading me from my room and down the stairs.

"Come on Bells, it will be fun." Jake said before leaning down to my ear and whispering so that only I could here. "Plus, if you don't go Charlie said it will be the last straw." I folded my arms in front of my chest and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Fine but only for an hour." I grumbled as I got in the car. The school was transformed into a winter wonderland from hell, filled with overly cheerful children and lines of wooden booths. Jacob attempted to make small talk as he played the games, trying to win the stupid little stuff animals.

"Look I know that you don't want to be here Bella, but you can at least try and have some fun. Come on this game should be easy." Jacob took the rings and attempted to make it around the row of glass bottles but missing every time. I couldn't help but laugh at this, considering the 10 year old kid next to us had made everyone so far. "Fine let's try this one over here." He grabbed my hand dragging me to the stand behind us. As we neared the booth, a boy with bronze hair stood up from behind the counter catching my gaze. God I loved his beautiful green eyes…..what was I saying? He hurt me, so I dropped my gaze to my hands which rested on the counter.

"Well good-evening, would you like to try to win a pretty prize for your pretty girlfriend?" Edward said with a sneer in his voice. I cringed at the word. How could he think that I could move on so fast after everything I had ever told him. Jacob just smiled and began throwing the balls at the bottles. I was happy when he lost so quickly, I just wanted to get out of this place and away from Edward's cold looks.

"Sorry Bells, I guess I am just not good at these games." Jacob chuckled but I still couldn't look up, fearing to meet Edward's gaze again. Why wasn't Jacob leaving? He was just standing there with his huge grin for what felt like eternity.

"Nonsense, a beautiful girl like you shouldn't walk away empty handed. I mean it is not your fault that your boyfriend can't throw a ball. I am sure we can find a suitable prize for the lady, just for tolerating the embarrassment of this date." Jacob got angry with this but kept quiet which I was very thankful for. Edward came up from behind the counter, holding a precious little lion. I hesitated for a moment before taking the cute animal from Edward, was this his way of saying he was sorry? I mumbled a thank you before Jacob grabbed my hand once more dragging me away from the booth. But if this was his apology then I couldn't let him think that Jake and I were together. So I turned back to the booth and leaned over the counter so that Jake couldn't hear me.

"And he is not my boyfriend." I said quickly before turning back to Jake who once again grabbed my hand, walking quickly away from that booth. I looked down at my beautiful lion when I noticed something hanging from its neck. Jacob was still angry, so I couldn't examine it further without him going into a tirade. "Hey Jake will you excuse me for a moment?" He gave me a skeptical look; I guess he thought I was going to run or something. "I am just going to the bathroom. I will be right back, I swear." I headed in the direction of the bathroom, but veered towards the left and out the back doors to the small lawn area next to the building. Sitting beneath the light, I lifted the thin chain from the lion's neck. It was gorgeous, the way the silver reflected the light making the small angel pendent shine. I turned the small angel over noticing the small script writing on the back, 'And so the lion fell in love with lamb, forever.'A tear rolled down my cheek, it was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. But if he even felt a fraction of the love that this necklace said then why did he leave me? Why did he no longer want to be with me? My tears came more quickly now and my chest began to heave with sobs. I pulled my knees to my chest wrapping my arms around my legs and burying my head into my arms. I am not sure how long I sat there clutching the necklace in my fingers, tears pouring down my cheeks when I suddenly felt two warm arms wrap around me pulling me into an embrace.

"Shhh….it will be okay. It will all be okay." The calming words helped to sooth me, as small circles were drawn on my back, and I sobbed into the warm hard chest of my angel.

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPDATE…..BUT HERE IT IS. HOPE YOU LIKE AND REMEMBER TO REVIEW.
