Chapter 5 - Reunion EPOV

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

After hearing what she said to Angela in the cafeteria I knew I would have to speak to her. I couldn't face Biology so I skipped, deciding to listen to her lullaby in my car. I needed time to think...what would I say...what if she didn't forgive me? I waited, contemplating and was surprised when I saw her leaving a few minutes before the bell went. I had to speak to her...thankfully her truck wasn't there...Charlie must be picking her up so I would have to be quick.

I walked at human pace towards her wondering what to say...I wanted to hug and kiss her all over and tell her how sorry I was and beg her for forgiveness...I wanted to tell her how stupid she was to hang around with a werewolf...but most of all I wanted to grab her and run away together to be happy for eternity...if she gave me that I would give in to any demand she had.

"Bella?" I asked carefully, afraid of her reaction.

She turned slowly but wouldn't look at me...it is so frustrating not hearing what she is thinking. I heard her heart flutter and let a small smile pass my lips before I continued. I had missed that...hearing it made it so real.

"Bella, look at me?" I asked pleading, she shook her head but I wasn't defeated yet, she had to look me in the eyes for me to believe she didn't want to see me.

I felt her shudder when my finger brushed along her jaw line to her chin; I wasn't sure if this was from the sudden coldness or the electric shock that seemed to flow from her skin to mine. I carried on anyway. There they were...those deep, beautiful chocolate brown eyes that haunted my dreams, the eyes I loved and had yearned to see for so long. It hurt me to see that they had emptiness to them, like something was missing.

"Edward..." she breathed and saw I couldn't help but smile at her, hearing her say my name was the best feeling I think any human, or vampire could have.

It felt like we stood there for hours staring into each other's eyes, I could have if it weren't for the thoughts popping into my head...

I can't wait to see Bella...hopefully she won't look as irresistible as she did yesterday. I could see the smirk he had plastered on his face.

It was almost impossible for me to suppress the growl that rumbled deep in my chest. She started to pull away but before I had a chance to speak to her once more I was interrupted by...

"YOU?!" Jacob was striding towards us with murder written on his face, Bella turned and walked to him, placing her hands on his chest.

You disgusting bloodsucker, I'll...

"Jake sto-, but she didn't get a chance to finish.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? HAVEN'T YOU CAUSED ENOUGH DAMAGE?"

This could ruin her...do you want her to break again?!

I couldn't help but wince in pain at this as Bella turned to look me in the eyes. For a moment her expression became one of confusion but the she turned back to that mutt.

"Jacob Black that is enough! Come on let's go" she pushed Jake trying to move him towards his bike. He didn't move an inch.

"I'll kill you! How dare you show your face round here after what you did?!"

Calm down Jake...pull yourself together...you could hurt her if you phase too close...not in public!!

I could see the tremors up and down Jake's body and growled.

I reached out and grabbed Bella's wrist pulling her towards me away from the impending danger that was the dog.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" I WOULD NEVER HURT HER!

His thoughts stung me but before I could react she ran to him placing her hand on his cheek.

"Jake...please..." she pleaded with him. He seemed to calm instantly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and opened them looking at her intensely.

My thoughts wandered...I wanted this contact...more than anything...I wanted her, again...forever.

"I'm sorry..." he turned to look at me with loathing, "You stay away from her or I swear..."

I was about to react but Bella was quicker than me for once.

"Jake, stop it please...if...if you hurt him, I will not talk to you...No, I mean it. Leave him alone, come on let's go". Jake walked and got onto the bike while she stood still to take a deep breath. What did that mean? Did she still love me after everything I had done to her? For the first time in a while I felt hope. She started to walk away...I had to stop her.

"You're not getting on that thing!" Maybe I could have said that better...she turned slowly and stared at me, no doubt in shock.

"Excuse me?" Her cheeks began to blush which made me want to scoop her up and kiss her all over.

"You are not riding on that death trap, you could get hurt!" I said sincerely. Hanging round with a WEREWOLF and riding on a motorbike! She had no idea of self-preservation. Looks like leaving did no good to either of us.

"And since when do you care? Why does what I do affect you?!" She shouted at me and I stared in shock as her eyes flashed in anger. I felt hurt, embarrassed and angry, now was not the time or place and I wanted to rip that smirk off that dogs face. All I could manage to say was...

"Bella you...promised". For a moment I thought I saw the love her eyes once held appear...but it went quickly.

"And how many times did you promise? How many promises did you break?" I could see the tears welling up in her eyes and realised how much damage I had caused. She walked to get on the bike and I could no longer stop her because my mind was filled with someone else's memory.

A memory of her being lifted from the rainy forest floor, broken whispering he's gone over and over. This was Jacob's gift...showing me that I had lost her...and that he had won. His face covered in an unmistakeable grin of victory.

The last thing I saw was Bella turning to see me, with the same look of pain she had worn in the forest that day.
