Soryy it took so long but heres chapter 18. Read and Review please!

EDWARD'S POV

There she goes again with the 'love you Jake' but at least she added 'tell everyone the same' It could just be a friendly 'love you' type thing. I popped her toast out of the toaster just as she sat down. I was so worried last night but it was really weird I was worring incase she go hurt or worse...But I was also so happy when she asked me to stay and she called me not anyone else.

When I sat infront of her and her plate of toast, I realised what she was wearing. A black top and denim shorts ripped at the bottom, They stank really badly but I didn't care I had my Bella, safe and sound.

"There plane should land in around 2 hours, you should change if Alice sees you in that she will have a heart attack," Keep it light, keep it casual.

"It probly sounds weird but I feel safe in these clothes" She mumbled into her hands.

"No I understand, trust me," I did, Waring his clothes makes her feel close to him.

When she finished she stood up,

"Thanks...Edward," and she walked out of the room and went to her room. I could here her sobbing, Was that my fault? What had I said? And then she seemed to whisper to herself

"You better be ok," That was weird, I walked into the living room, she wasn't on her phone it was sitting on the table, I grabbed it and went upstairs. I knocked the door once and walked in, I realised why she had said that, she was lying on her bed hugging a small photo if her and...Him!

"You left this down stairs I think you have a message" I set the phone down and as I got up to leave. She spoke.

"I'm sorry," what could she have to be sorry for.

"What could you possibly have to be sorry for?"

"I keep hurting people no matter what I do!" She banged her head into her pillow.

"What are you talking about?" wasshe sick? Hurt?

"I can see it in your eyes, every time someone mentions Jake I can see the sadness in your eyes,"

"Bella..." I didn't get to finish she cut me off.

"Don't lie to me I can see the evidence, and its excatly the same when I'm with Jake When I told him why I wasn't at Charlies he nearly phaised he was so angry he thought...he thought..we'd gotten back together, The look on his face is painful even think about." She took a deep breath in I could tell she wasn't finished.

"I do love you not as much as I did but its coming back I can feel it, but everytime we get closer its like someones stabbing me I just see his face in my head and I want him there no matter who I'm with even the smallest things remind me of him and its sets it off." She was sobbing again "But then you'd show up and the pain goes away, but his face is there its always there," I went to sit on the bed and I carefuly wrapped my arms around her craddling her in my arms.

"I'm so confused, when I'm with him I want to be with him but When I'm with you I never want to leave."

"Bella listen to me." I put my finger under and lifted her face to mine, "I think he..he imprinted on you,"

"Not that wouldn't work because then I would want him there and I wouldn't feel anything towards you,"

"He's always going to be there for you and so will I," I took in a deep breath breath this was going to be excruating to say. "Mabey we should all just be friends and see where it goes from there" That was worse than I thought, It felt like someone had just knocked the air out of my lungs. She nodded her head and put her hand on my cheek "Friends for now" Her hand was so warm and soft I couldn't felp but to lean into it, it felt like that day in the medow the first time we were really alone.

"We should go we need to pick everyone up," I said after a minute.

We walked down into the garage I walked up to the people carrier, and climbed in the drivers seat. As soon as she was buckled in we took of we were half way to the airport when her phone rang.

Hello?

Bella?

Quil?

Yea good guess,

How are you? Are you ok?

Yea I'm fine I was just wondering about the beach.

I don't know yet I'm going to pick up the rest of my family now so I'll tell you when we get home, Bye Quil

Bye Bella. Don't forget about the list on the back of the note.

She hung up and reached inside her bag and pulled out the letter, I was reading it over her shoulder.

1) Putting nose in hand - Everything is ok and I wont anything hurt you.- Sam and Emily invented this one.

2) Ear twiching - Left- Turn or go left.

Right- Turn or go right.

3) Nose to nose- I love you and if anything happens

always remember me.- Sam and Emily again.

Over to Paul.

4) Paw on foot - If one of us puts our paw on your foot you must climb up on to our back and hold on tight.

Over to Sam.

If there is ever an emergency you must Imedietly go to Jacob and climb on to his back. Or if it is one of us that is the danger find someone else to stand behind. These arn't orders because I cant order you around but they are for your safety.

I didn't think she actually called us her family around them. I didn't know she told them either. My expression must have given me away.

"Jake told them when we were at the beach yesterday, they kept calling me Miss Cullen, It was so funny espically when Paul kept forgeting and yelling 'A Cullen where'" I was chuckling Paul must be the one with the short temper then.

"I took lots of photos I'm thinking about making a collage thing for my wall, but I'm going to need Alice's help" I wanted to ask if I could help but I didn't know what she would say, what the hell the worst she could say is no.

"I could help when we get home?" My voice was tentive and hesitant.

"Yea ok thanks," She said looking down at her phone.
