I called Jake early in the morning. "You're up at this hour Bella?"

"Jake… don't get mad, just stay calm where you are, even breaths," I said unsure how he was going to react.

"Are you going to break up with me?"

"What? NO! Hell no," I said quickly. "Why did you-"

"I just assumed. Sorry. What is it you've got to tell me?"

"…They're coming back." A moment of silence passed…………..Spider monkey……..

…………..SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING: Spider monkeys are not real monkeys. They were a figment of a vampire Edward's imagination, they don't in fact exist. To be honest, what the world thinks is Spider Monkeys is in fact a bunch of hairy anorexic dwarves who thought to make a simple life and pretend to be monkeys while living off the government for free in a nice plushy zoo eating free food like bananas. Therefore no one go to the zoo to see Spider Monkeys………. I shall warn you again when a subliminal message comes up…………… snargles are real…………..

"So what?... Don't tell me you still-"

"I wanted to warn you because I know the pack will want to know this… and Jake they said I was in danger, that it would be life threatening then again when the hell isn't my life threatened?" It was like the universe had it out for me. I hated it. Everything had to be about me, or at least I'd once thought that when I had Edward in my company. I wasn't the old selfish Bella. I wasn't a stupid girl who thought that drama should revolve around her, those girls were such pansys… Why couldn't someone else be in trouble who actually liked it like Jessica?

………at that moment Jessica was currently putting her wig on and talking to herself in front of the mirror, "Oh what is that you say Edward? I'm beautiful. I already knew that, I'm Bella Swan of course." She did that late and early every night out of habit, though at the moment she stopped as she decided to go google Bella on the computer just to see what would come up…. Not knowing the website she'd find with pictures, though the pictures were getting cleaner with pics of not only Jess but everyone at the mall… well some of the pictures Bella had snapped with the La Push guys running around without their shirts or eating or snoozing in the sun (Jake with the shadows of branches stretched over him and Embry lying curled up nearby) and playing pranks on each other (Bella and Emily putting shaving cream in Sam's hand before tickling his nose with a feather)….

"That's the only reason they're returning so I need you guys to stay on patrol. If you see any vampires don't fight them, talk to them, whomever they may be. I don't want you guys to be targeted as something to fight. Tell them I'm waiting."

"What if it's the Cullen clan we come across?"

"Tell them the same. I want to know who the hells coming after me and only they know."

"Do you want me to come over Bella?"

"Maybe later today, not right now. Schools about to start you know, you've got school too… Maybe when I get back." If I was going to be back. "And Jake, I want you to know that I really care about you. Even if they come back okay." This may be the last time I speak to you. If its not then the next time I speak to you will be worse Jacob.

"I'm glad… I was worried you'd still love him."

"Jake, last night you told me something that made me the happiest person alive but today I realized something that would make me happier."

"What?"

"You living a wonderful life, safe, and being happy no matter what. Listen Jake I've got to go. Bye." I hung up and went out to look at the mail freezing in my tracks as I read it. "Edward what the hell?"

HOUSE PAR-TAY!

The Cullens are back in town baby!

And we're inviting you to a house party

Our place! Tomorrow night!

From 6 - ?Whenever?

Honored guest: A surprise but they've been dying to meet a

special lady!

BYOB – Bring your own boo/booze

C'yah there!

"Edward what the hell is this?" What? "You're having a friggin' house party?" No we're not. How the hell can we have a house party if we're too worried about you?! "Well who the hell is having a house party?" I don't know but wait for me before you go! Alice is seeing something and I think this party is a trap. I'm arriving today at 10:00 but go to school. We'll be busy watching from afar and checking the land. Edward. Yeah? I'm mad that you're here but I've missed you. And another thing Edward. Yeah? Like hell I'm listening to you! I've gotten a backbone since you left. Someone could be a threat to the ones I love here so I'm meeting you there. School be damned. Dammit. What?

I didn't get a reply….

…………….And the trap for the crickets and grasshoppers was successful, blood and many legs was caught in the webs as the spiders ate quickly their prey, the Prince grasshopper Prince Hoppity Hop Caspian ran through the blood of his comrades dodging the spider webs as Princess Crikety Crick Crack Aslan watched after her baby while praying to the almighty Spagetti Monster for his flying noodles to keep her husband safe…….. the spider Prince Swin Swan Robert Pattin sat on his throne waiting, they would kidnap the princess and destroy the babe if all went according to plan………

Meanwhile on the plane Edward sat frozen like a statue, some of the attendants thought he was dead and undid his bindings, jumping back a foot when he finally looked up. He stood up and began pacing back and forth nervously, "What do I do? I'm about to see her? She's got a boyfriend…. Should I change? Does this look okay?"

"I think you look fine," said a flight attendant with a sly smile. Edward rolled his eyes at her and growled back, "I'm taken. And my girlfriend is the most beautiful girl there ever was."

"Apparently you're not taken and you're just making up someone unless there's something we don't know Eddy-kins," hissed Emmett with a laugh. Jasper feeling Edward's nerves pushed towards his brother some calming moods until Edward finally sat back down.

"Dammit. I didn't think she'd actually find a happy life."

"What did you think she'd do? Die a 89 year old virgin? That's not at all fair," growled Alice.

"Technically I'm over 100 years old and I'm a virgin."

"Yeah but you're slow when it comes to girls," replied Emmett,

"Besides I was going to die after her."

"That's still not fair Edward."

"Listen to me, its not like I was actually going to let her live to be 89 without seeing me. I was going to come back this year…" The Cullen family stared back at Edward. "What?"

"Why?"

"I can't live without her… I've been seeing a shrink… or I was seeing a shrink," Edward smirked, "but I realized a day or so ago that eventually I'd go back because well…"

"You're just a hermit without her," answered Rosalie looking at herself in the reflection of the window beside her seat.

"Yeah…"

"Then why the hell did you take yourself away from her?" Esme growled, her face had broken, her eyes widened in shock as her hand covered her mouth, "Whoops. I got so moody. But you shouldn't have taken me away from her. I had such plans for you two," Esme said glowering at Edward for a moment before twiddling her thumbs and saying, "Oh I feel so bad… but I'm not sorry. I loved that girl like she was part of the family. It wasn't just hard on you Edward."

"What your mom's trying to say Edward," Carlisle breathed reaching out for Esme's hand and squeezing it with a small smile at how hot it had been his wife getting flustered, Edward grimaced at the thoughts in his father's head, Carlisle turned back and smiled at Edward, "You screwed up bad and should've considered everyone else's feelings, Bella's too, before you did that. It affected all…" Rosalie huffed, "well most of us."

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

I waited. Nervously pacing back and forth into the gift shop and out wondering if I should get him something but then I remembered I didn't need to get him anything. I was still mad and sore at him, still cared about him but someone else too… that's when I watched the plane land and people slowly come out of the terminal. I stood there, not bouncing from foot to foot, frozen where I stood, immobile, waiting. And then I saw him. He was rushing out through the crowd, pushing ahead, his family close behind me. He stopped at least 5 feet away from me and just stared at me.
