Chapter 4:

Bella's POV

"Bella, is that really you?" Jake asked.
"Yes, of course it is." I replied.
"Wha…What happened to you?" He stammered.
Oh shoot. I forgot to think about what Charlie, Jake, and everyone else would think if I disappeared.
"I… uhhh…. went cliff diving." I choked out.
"Oh yeah, that really explains things." He said sarcastically. He better not push me.
"Well it is kind of a long story." I told him. It is true.
"I've got time." He smiled.
"Edward, could you please calm down? It is just Jake." I asked hesitatingly. Oh he must not know that Jake was a werewolf now. I shuddered at the word. I still couldn't get used to the word vampire and werewolf.
"Bella, do you know how dangerous new born werewolves are?" He asked me.
"No, but it is just Jake, so please back down. I am not as breakable as before, remember?" I replied. How could he think Jake was a danger to me? Jake is my best friend.
"Fine." He grunted and stepped back.
Time to explain things to Jacob, I thought.
"Jake, you might want to sit down." I said.
"I'm fine." He spat back, a little annoyed. Why is he so angry? I didn't do anything. Since, when is almost dying a crime?
"Ok then. I was sitting on First beach waiting for you, I really wanted to go cliff diving, but you were taking forever! So…. I went up to the highest cliff and jumped by myself. I didn't think about the currents in the water, and before long I was almost out of breath. I lost consciousness when I was about fifteen feet from shore. I wasn't conscious for the next three days, so Edward will have to tell you the rest." I told him slowly. This was the first time I had actually realized how lucky I was that I wasn't dead. I smiled to myself, and then Edward began to talk.
"I was on my way back to beg Bella for forgiveness and to ask her to take me back; I couldn't live any longer without her." He turned to look at me and I smiled back at him. "When I sat down on her bed to wait for her, Alice called. All she said was, 'Bella…. First beach… HURRY!' I ran as fast as I could to First beach, I know I broke the treaty and I am sorry, but Bella was more important to me." Again he looked up to gaze at me. "I found Bella almost dead, her lungs were full of water, her spine was broken, and there was blood gushing from her head. The first thing I did was I tried to get the water out of her lungs. After I got most of it out, she started breathing, but only barely. I knew then that the only thing left to save her was venom. I didn't like it, but I had to save her. I bit her and ran her to our house. I knew if I stayed on First beach I would have been attacked, action first, questions later. Bella awoke this morning and here we are. We were on our way to hunt; Bella hasn't eaten since she woke up." He concluded. I smiled at him again, this was the first time I was told how he saved me. I was so happy that he did. I would never forgive myself, especially because he never stopped loving me.
Jake looked at me, stunned.
"Couldn't you have just waited for me Bella?" He asked, on the verge of tears. My happiness disappeared instantly.
"I didn't know, Jake. I'm sorry." I choked out. I was on the verge of tearless sobs.
"What does everyone think happened to me?" I managed to get out. I hoped Charlie wasn't taking it too hard. Oh and mom and Phil too. What had I done? If I hadn't of jumped, I would have had Edward anyway.
"They officially announced that you had drowned last night, but Charlie refuses to give up hope. He won't stop looking for you and screaming your name. Every time someone tries to explain to him that you are dead, his face streams with tears." He replied with huge sadness in his voice.
Being told that, made me burst into a huge fit of tearless sobs. I couldn't stop myself. Poor Charlie! What have I done to him? Oh no. By the look of Edward's face, he looks like he regrets changing me. He probably thinks I hate him for it. I have to calm myself down. I calmed down enough to ask Jake about mom.
"What about Renee?" I whispered.
"She was informed on your death and she is on her way into town for your funeral tomorrow. She is going to try to help Charlie except it as much as she can." He sighed. I was a little relieved that mom was taking it better than Charlie, surely she could calm him down.
"Thank you Jake." I said.
"I'm sorry I didn't save you, Bella." He choked on his words. He ran straight off into the trees and I was left there stunned. I turned and fell into Edward's chest. I couldn't help but burst into agonizing pain when I had just heard all of this news. And Jake running away didn't help either. I had to find him. I had to tell him it wasn't his fault.
