"It's ok Bells. I just wanted to talk to you." He explained as I sat down next to him. He pulled me closer and we sat facing each other as Jacob spoke.

Chapter 23:

JPOV

I was just sitting in Bella's room waiting for her to get out of the shower. I hadn't spoken to her since yesterday after school - and I should have been at school now - but I needed to talk to her. Charlie had let me in knowing about what had happened and was sympathetic to say the least.

Just then Bella walked in, "Hey Bells." I said.

"Jake…I'm sorry -" she started but I really didn't need an apology.

"It's ok Bells. I just wanted to talk to you." I explained.

I pulled her closer as she sat down next to me and spun herself around so that we were facing each other.

"Bella. I know you love me…I know I love you too…But I really want you to be happy, and I think that you being with Edward is making you happier than if you were with me. I'm not saying that I don't want you anymore, I just would rather you be happy." I stopped taking in her reaction. She was tearing up and sniffling a little.

"Jake… Thank you," she started, "I want you t be happy too, even if that means I have to find you a nice girl. I will play match-maker if I have to." she stated, laughing as I chuckled along with her. I felt our relationship starting to rewind a bit - back to how we used to act around each other - and I welcomed the change back with open arms.

I thanked Bella and headed back to school. I was already late enough as it was.

"Bye Bells." I called over my shoulder as I walked through the threshold of her room.

"See you 'round Jake." She called back.

I was glad that everything between Bella and I was sorted out. I really hoped nothing would be awkward between us.

"Bye Bells." Jake called to me as he headed back out of my room.

"See you 'round Jake." I called after him, and I really meant it. I hoped that everything between us would go back to normal and Jake and I could hang out again, just like we used to, and maybe…Jake and Edward could be friends.

As I was still sitting on the end of my bed I decided to call Edward and see what he was up to today. I didn't have work so maybe we could hang out or something, but then I remembered that I didn't have his number. I was forgetful like that, not remembering to get my boyfriends phone number, or…even forgetting I had work some days.

Well that just meant I would go back to his house again today.

I walked back into the bathroom, blow-dried my hair and pulled it back into a messy pony tail. Then I headed back downstairs where I noticed that dad had gone back to work. I would talk to him later about that. Then, just as I was about to make myself some toast, the phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Ah Bella, lovely to speak to you again." I heard my now 'stalker' say to me.

"What's your problem man? I'm just starting to make some progress in my life and now I have some lunatic trying to take me away. Why are you even bothering? Just go away and get on with you life. I mean seriously people like you are the only people who really need meds. Now I have to go visit a friend and I really don't want to talk to you at the moment, so goodbye." I blurted out, then hung up before he could come back with a reply. I knew that my confidence had only been fueled by my irritation of the fact that now my life was finally on track, it just needed to be de-railed by some crazy stalker.

I put the phone back onto the table next to my purse and cell, and made my way over to the toaster. I popped my toast in and sat down at the table to read the paper.

*POP* I heard as my toast popped up into the air. I buttered it, grabbed my phone, purse, keys and my jacket, and headed for my truck. It was a red 1954 Chevy 3100 and I adored it. It was my baby.
