Jake had faked walking to the kitchen and crept back towards the hallway to continue listening. The guys in the kitchen snickered and placed bets on how long it would take for Jake to be found out.

"They're my family," she said placing my hair into a bun on the back of my head to keep it out of my head, "a rather dysfunctional one at times but they're mine…" Emily didn't know exactly how to broach the subject. She felt like a big sister for all of the other boys that weren't' her beloved Sam and Jake was one of the ones she was fonder of… "Bella. You seem like a nice girl but I've got to get something straight with you." Emily turned me around to face her and looked me full in the pale albino face. "I want to know that you're not going to hurt Jake. That this isn't some sick trick and your bloodsuckers are going to come back and laugh at his expense…"

"Quite an elaborate trick if I planned to do such," I muttered, "if I could've come up with that then why would I have given myself such heartache."

"I'm sorry Bella," muttered Emily immediately regretting where her mouth had led off to while my eyes floated to the floor somberly.

"No," I replied with a wane smile as I looked back up at Emily, "its okay. You should be angry. I am a hazard. But hurting Jake is the last thing I want to do. If not for him who knows I could be some suicidal ball curled up trying to do stupid stunts to kill myself. How extremely stupid would that be?" I chuckled. "He's helping me… move on."

"Just promise you won't hurt him."

"I'll try not to," I breathed.

At that moment Bella didn't know Jake leaned against the wall outside still, and was listening intently with a glowing smile on his face at the hope that lingered in the bathroom next to him and filled his heart with jumping grasshopper joy.

……………meanwhile in Italy………. "Okay now book the tickets Jack-in-the-box," muttered Aro jumping up and down happily while Marcus ran back and forth packing the bags. "She's in Forks and Forks here we come." At that moment Caius burst into the room; after having spent 2 days knawing his way out of the kryptonite double layered sausage tie up the cast of "I Love Raymond" and force them to watch their own episodes for 7 hours, with Jane following closely on his heels. She glared at Aro and Marcus who froze mid-stride at her furious gaze; meanwhile poor Jack-in-the-box just sat there twiddling his thumbs not knowing what to do.

"You've been abusing your privileges I hear," she muttered to Aro, "and over a human girl! Normally I look the other way because you are my master but-"

"Look at this," Aro cried pulling Jane close to see a picture of Bella with a whip in her hand suggestively. Jane squealed happily!

"Another girl who loves pain! Oh my god!" And then and there all the men took a step back as Jane oogled Bella on the website, "She's such a cute spunky little thing."

"Jane are you?…" Caius didn't finish as he was sent to the floor in pain and Jane let out a peel of laughter.

"Wouldn't you like to know? Is this girl bi? I think she's adorable! You're planning a trip! And you were planning it without me!" She sent a wave of pain across all the men I in the room for a full minute, "On your knees weevils," she shouted and then laughed as she allowed them to move pain free.

"That was mean," cried Aro, if he had tears he would be weeping right now, he had a tissue in his mouth that he was holding tearfully for effect though…

"Want to know what else is mean?" Caius shouted. "Being stuck with idiot immortals!" Caius turned off the power and Jane let out a fierce cry and she couldn't really see him in the dark because her eye vision was worst then the rest of the vampires in the world so she accidentally hit Aro instead who yelped and ran into Marcus who ran into Jack-in-the-box who ran into the computer and sent it crashing into the floor………

…………………..Jack-in-the-box guy was never heard from again.

……….in Italy Edward finally decided to buy a ticket for the next Friday to see Bella in Forks. He had 8 days until he left. He could've booked sooner tickets however he had decided to give himself time… that was all he had after all… though not too much. He wanted to see her. He still loved her… he had pictures of her in his room all over his walls that he stared at because he couldn't sleep. He also had one of her jackets that he curled up to at night to inhale her scent. He knew it was cheating since he left her behind knowing not where he'd hidden her things. Right under her floorboards in her room. He had already packed, his ticket stared at him from on top of the suitcase. "I tried to do what was right? Will she forgive me?" He quietly whispered to himself.

"Hell no," shouted Rosalie from the other side of the condo as Esme made a large scrapbook in her spare time. So far Esme had made 5 and she was waiting for Edward's reunion with Bella to place pictures in it.

I came out of the bathroom and sat on the porch with Emily who was curled in Sam's arms and the rest of the gang of guys. I wasn't hungry so I didn't care they guys had eaten everything. I was surprised that hadn't eaten each other.

"We'll protect you Bella," replied Sam from where he sat as the others nodded with him in agreement. Everything had been explained and with Sam's words it was like an oath had been said by all the guys with their nods.

"Thank you… oh we better get going," I muttered glancing at the setting sun over the trees.

"Money," grunted Embry towards Jared as he watched Jake get up and Paul shake Jake's hand good bye. Embry pointed towards the bruise inside Paul's arm. Jared huffed and handed the bill over as Jake and I walked away.

"Hey Bella," shouted Jared, "Don't forget our earlier conversation okay!" I just nodded blushing red as I hopped into the car.

"What was that about?" Jake asked.

"Oh nothing," I muttered.

"You're blushing," said Jacob as I revved up the engine. "He better not have hit on you," Jacob immediately growled.

"He didn't. It was a personal question actually," I said deciding right then and there to go to a tanning salon upon the next day. If I had such a problem with my skin for this long why had I never decided to get a tan done before?

I sped off towards the road hoping that Jacob and Embry wouldn't 'talk' as they called it in their heads to each other though Jake grinned the whole ride towards my place. As soon as we pulled up I knew Charlie was inside brooding, waiting for me, while he worried about what he would eat if I didn't make it home. He didn't even notice that I had pulled in because I didn't see him peeking inside the window. Jake reached over and unbuckled my seatbelt letting his fingers brush up against my side. "We'll be watching after you Bella so don't worry."

"I won't so long as you stay safe," I whispered. Jacob smiled and leaned forward brushing a strand of my hair back with his finger, I could feel the blood rush up to my cheek reminding me even more promptly to get a tan, and he leaned forward. The space was disappearing but suddenly Charlie came out on the porch yelling, "Where's my food?!" His voice echoed with Edward's voice in my head that yelled, PUCKER THOSE LIPS AT HER AND I'LL KILL YOU WITH A BEETLE AND A SPOON! He didn't even take in the image of Jake and myself in the car, he probably couldn't see Jake from the way I had parked the car backwards. Jake sighed. "See you Jake," I breathed. But he just smirked a little and leaned forward to press a quick kiss on my cheek before leaving, tossing Charlie a quick wave before he started to sprint away leaving me behind knowing he'd break into a run as soon as he was around the bend. I smiled a little and raised my hand to touch my cheek and a sinking feeling fell in my stomach.

Edward growled inside my head and I was thankful that he couldn't read my mind ever but could only hear what I wanted to say to him.

………….I cared for Jacob. More than I should.

……….far above Bella's head an airplane flies by full of the equivalent to high school students from England, they attend a special school for special students… on board are 3 students who are very much insecure about themselves, then again what teenagers aren't? A boy with pale skin and hair the color of snow, dark angry eyes, only wishing to be loved. He has a booking his hands that says: Why You're Better Than Everyone Else. Malfoy. A young girl who could be his twin except she has a very much dazed expression, she wishes to be understood. She has a butterfly net in her hand and is busy looking under seats and in people's hair for nargles. Luna. Another boy with dark brown hair, freckles, who is tall and clumsy. He is helping her look for snargles and often runs to the bathroom to put on a pair of glasses and draw a scar on his head wishing he were one of his friends. He suffers identity problems. Neville…… and on this flight a duck flew into the propellers and suddenly the plane started falling. Only 3 students made it out, Malfoy who had brought his broom and didn't want to share with anyone, and Luna and Neville who had grabbed the only threstal onboard because Luna could see it. And as the plane flew down and crashed into the ground burning it took with it not only the crappy ending to the J.K. Rowling long cherished stories but also took with it the only nargle that had ever existed in the whole world that had conveniently been on that plane hiding from Luna in the pilot's hat……. The 3 students looked at each other for a moment before Malfoy said something, "Bollux. I left my book in there."………

---Author note: oh yeah I meant to say Billy instead of Charlie in the Chapter Dogfight. Thanks for catching that S. Oh and another thing honestly tell me who you prefer in this story Edward or Jacob?… just wondering.------------
