I held Bella's hand as I drove my Volvo to Jamie's. As Clair de Lune played through the speakers I felt happy for the first time in a while. Finally I had my Bella back. She was mine and no one was going to take her away from me including my family. We smiled at each other; she even cuddled to my side. Even though I couldn't hear what she was thinking I knew her thoughts; they were the same as mine.

As I pulled up to Jamie's house I felt Bella's tenchen. "It's going to be ok Bella. She's not mad at you, just terrified. Probably just as much as you are. Don't worry she's upstairs right now trying to get her thoughts together. And you're right, she does know everything." I said trying to comfort her.

"Yeah, but now I've drug her into our world and it will define her life." she said sadly and painfully. I pulled her into my embrace remembering how I did the same to hers. I kissed her hair and told her it was all going to work out, though I didn't believe it. Then I went to get Jamie.

I took a deep breath ready to face what ever she brought, then rang the bell. Stupid door to door salesman. Haven't I made it clear that we don't want anything. Her father thought angrily coming to the door. "Oh, hi Edward good morning." he said calmly, but his thoughts were the complete opposite. He would rather have opened the door to the door to door salesman then me; he was peed at me.

"Good morning Mr. Nate is Jamie home?" I asked already knowing his answer.

"No I'm sorry Edward she isn't. But I'll tell her you stopped by." he lied.

"ok, Just tell her to call me." I said sounding disappointed.

"I will Edward, see you soon." He said sweetly, then shut the door in my face and murmured, "Yeah right. I hope my daughter dumps your butt. You don't deserve her."

I left her father to his thoughts and went to Jamie's bedroom. When I got to her window she was reading Withering Heights ironically. I quietly and carefully knocked on her window. She jumped when she heard the noise, but followed it. Her thoughts changed from peaceful to anger when she saw me. I knew she wasn't going to let me in.

"Jamie please let me in, we need to talk. I won't lie to you, I promise. I'll tell you anything you want to know." I said begging her.

He'll just lie to me again and try to make me believe him. She thought. So I answered it knowing she'd let me in.

"I swear Jamie, I won't lie to you. And if you don't believe what I tell you then ok. But you need to understand. I know your confused, just give me time to explain." I said. She reasoned with herself and opened the window.

I hope he's honest. She thought. "Don't worry, I will be." I responded.

"What?" she asked sitting on the edge of her bed and turning on her stereo so her dad wouldn't come up.

"You hope I'm honest and I will be." I told her keeping my distance. She looked shocked and amazed.

"So you've always been able to hear my thoughts?" she asked finding a radio station.

"Yes. When I told you I was a mind reader I wasn't playing."

Great, that's embarrassing. All the things I have thought reveled. No wonder he knew what I liked. She thought upset. I chuckled at her and she passed it off.

"So the story is true then; Bella was the girl and you're the vampire boy." she said wanting a comfermination.

"yeah it's true, all of it." I responded, but as she was about to think in her head I couldn't hear it anymore. I chuckled, but she misunderstood.

"What's so funny about it? They'll come after me, my family." she said worried and terrified.

"Calm down Jamie, I wasn't laughing at you. Apparently Bella thinks it's rude that I'm invading your thoughts. She blocked me out" I explained to her.

"Bella's still alive? She tried to kill me and she's still alive?" she yelled at me. Though was quieter then the music.

"She didn't try to kill you. And she came to ask for forgiveness." I told her, trying to get her to understand.

"Then where is she? And she owes me much more than that." she said hard and angry.

"Outside, she's scared to see you face to face. But she need's to, she want's to explain." I told her hoping I would draw her in and annoyed that her thoughts were blocked from me.

"Bella scared of me? Yeah right!" she said not believing.

"You've read our story Jamie. She'd walk right into any danger that had to do with Vampires, but you mention human things and she runs scared."

"I know, but when I read it I didn't think of Bella and your family." she said.

"Well now you do. So can you please come talk to her. She needs to know your alright." I said. She got up from her bed and slipped on her shoes. Also she turned her stereo down and left the room. I was out the window and at the front door before she made it down the stairs.

"She's coming." I said to Bella as she came from the trees. She came to me, yet she didn't embrace. She stood by my side and grabbed my hand as Jamie came out. She looked at our hands as Bella let down her shield. Then looked at us with anger and her mind understanding.

"Look Jamie, I know you have every right to kill me for what I did to you." she started with pain.

"You used me. My friendship, my kindness. You drew me in acting like you were my friend, like you cared!" Why should I trust that you mean what you say now?" Jamie said interrupting Bella. I was confused, her thoughts were different then her actions. She wanted to trust and forgive Bella, but at the same time she was unsure.

"You shouldn't" Bella started. "But I'm asking you to. Look Jamie, I'll be honest. When I first came back you were just my mission; at the beginning I did use your friendship and kindness. But towards the end, I really did become your friend, I cared. You helped show me doubt that the Cullens were wrong. I started to get my humanity back so to speak. With you I learned I didn't have to hide anything. You helped me listen to my heart again." Bella finished stepping away from me and closer to Jamie.

"Then why did you try to finish the job yesterday? If you were truly my friend you would have left me be." She said raising her voice and stepping back. But Bella was getting to her.

" I was under pressure. When they came they made me feel weak. They again helped me suppress my heart. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but they tempted me. The evil took over, but in the end the heart won." Bella said with lots of pain. Jamie heard it to.

Wow she really has changed. she thought, then walked over to Bella. "I forgive you Bella. Friends mess up, but they can be forgiven. I trust you." she told her with understanding, then they hugged.

"Thanks Jamie for everything, if there is anything I can do for you just let me know." Bella said during the hug.

"You don't have to worry Jamie, they won't touch you or your family. "I responded to her thought. They looked at me and Jamie thought thanks.

"Don't worry Jamie, you'll always have Vampires and werewolves to protect you." Bella said happily.

"She doesn't know Bella. No one has told her." I said going to her side. I couldn't stand to be away from her for so long. Even if it was just a few feet.

"What don't I know?" she thought and said at once. Bella looked at me and I shook my head yes not having to read her mind to know what she wanted to do.

"My best friend who was also the werewolf, his name was Jacob Black." Bella told her as she twisted our hands together. When it comes to being separated she felt the same way.

"Wait, are you saying that my lot of greats uncle was a werewolf?" she asked shocked.

"So that would make your Paul?" Bella asked in her sweet angelic voice.

"No, it was the Hawaiian. So even without your help I was thrown into this world." she said disappointed.

"Jamie, you will never be a werewolf. This world would still be a myth to you. But your cousin Billy Black will." I said calmly.

"I have to go. My mom will be home soon and we have plans." she said sadly.

"Jamie" I said as she turned toward her house. She looked back at me and asked what in her head. "your going to make someone a great wife and mother someday. You're a great girl and will accomplish many things. I had fun and if anyone ever breaks your heart or thinks about hurting you the Cullens have your back." I said making her feel better. She said she'd keep that in mind, then asked a last request of us. "You mind if everyone believes I dumped you? And you wait awhile before they know about you two?" we smiled and answered together.

"Yeah, after all it's your life. We don't want to mess that up. And remember you have a mind reader on your side."

She laughed and thought, Tell your daughter we're still on for tomorrow. Just because I know her secret doesn't mean our friendship stops. Be happy Edward, you deserve it. Don't worry about me, besides I'm a descendent of werewolves.

"Thanks Jamie." I said softly and lovingly. "Thanks for all you've brought to my life."

"I love you Edward, forever and for always." she said in a sisterly tone in her voice.

"I love you to Jamie, forever and for always." I responded in the same tone. Then she turned and walked into her house. Bella looked at me with compassion in her eyes. I knew she understood; she got it perfectly.
