A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm co-writing this with Elena Rain. I was a little behind her in my posting but now I'm all caught up with her. So please enjoy this second chapter:

A few hours passed and finally Carlisle came out. He didn't look happy.

"Well?" Edward asked.

"Charlie survived the sugary but slipped into a coma. We don't know when or even if he will ever wake up."

The Cullen's sighed.

"How is Bella?"

"Sleeping." Edward answered.

"Good. Let's take her home. We can tell her when she wakes up. If she wants to see him we will take her back."

Everyone nodded. Edward lifted Bella, she whimpered. "Edward!"

"Shhh Love, I'm right here."

Bella settled back down and stayed asleep as the Cullen's rushed home.

After a few hours Bella started to stir. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was in Edward's bedroom. Only she was alone….

"Hello Beautiful…"

Or maybe not. She jerked her head toward the voice. Jacob was standing there smirking.

"No, it's not possible."

"Face it Bella I'm a wolf. No human can stop me. Not even your father. Now let's go before I get mad."

"NO! Get away! Edward!"

Why weren't the Cullen's there? They had to know he was there. They could smell him from a mile away couldn't they? Why were they not there to help her?

"Edward isn't coming. I told him about the imprinting and now he doesn't want anything to do with you. Edward hates you Bella. I've finally have you all to myself."

"NO! NO! JACOB! NO!"

Bella shot up in bed panting looking around. She felt a cold hand touch her shoulder and she flinched.

"Shhh," a soft voice soothed. "It's me Love. Relax you're safe."

Bella relaxed at Edward's voice.

"It was just a bad dream Love."

"No…it wasn't a bad dream. It was my future."

"What?"

"Nothing…"

"Bella, please don't lie to me."

"I can't tell you. You'll hate me forever. I'm sorry."

"Bella please!"

"I can't."

"Bella whatever it is we will work this out. I promise."

"No…I just….Edward I can't."

"Please, baby I swear I will NOT leave you. Please I need to know, it's killing me not knowing what's bothering you."

Bella sighed. She hated when he started to beg like that.

"Edward…."

"Please, I'll keep it just between us I promise."

Sighing Bella nodded. "Ok but…"

"But what?"

"Not here."

"You want to go to the meadow?"

"Please?"

"Ok hope on."

Bella climbed onto his back. He took off running. It felt so much better than running with Jacob. She actually let lose a small giggle as the wind blew her hair all over the place.

He stopped at the meadow but didn't let Bella down.

"Edward?"

He just smirked and started to spin her. She squealed and burst into giggles holding onto him tighter.

"EDWARD QUIT IT!" she squealed.

He laughed and stopped spinning her. He brought them both down onto the ground holding her tightly in his arms.

"Now, please love, tell me. What did Jacob do to you? Why are you so scared to kiss me or even tell me you love me?"

"I'm not scared."

"Ok then tell me you love me."

"I…Edward I….I'm sorry."

"See that's what I'm talking about. Please Bella, Baby just tell me. I swear I won't run. I won't tell anyone. Trust me."

Bella sighed. "Ja…ob im...pted on me." She muttered.

"Even with my super hearing I didn't catch that."

Bella shook her head. "You'll hate me."

"Bella I promise you I won't!"

"Edward you don't get it! Once I tell you the truth, you'll have no choice but to leave me."

"Bella I love you! I can't be without you, remember what happen last the time the two of us were apart?"

"NO! Edward don't talk about that! Please it will make this so much harder!"

"Bella do you love me back?"

Bella nodded.

"Are you sure?"

Bella nodded again.

"Do you trust me?"

"Of course."

"Then Please Bella you need to tell me what happen so I can help you."

Bella sighed and nodded. "One time…while I was sleeping Jacob…he… he did…something and now I…I can't…I can't love you anymore!" Bella choked out.

"No, Bella please tell me you don't mean what I think you mean. Did Jacob…did he…did he imprint on you?"

Bella just nodded as tears spilled down her cheeks. "I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!"

"THAT STUPID MUT!" Edward grabbed the closet tree and grabbed it, ripping it from the ground and throwing it as far as he could. Bella flinched and whimpered squirming away from him. Edward calmed down and turned to Bella.

"No, Baby, No don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not mad at you. You had no control over this."

"I can't love you anymore Edward I'm sorry. As much as I do love you I can't!"

"Wait, say that again…."

"Say what?"

"What you just said."

"I said as Much as I do love you I can't."

"You do realize you just said you loved me."

Bella smiled. "But how?"

"I don't know."

Bella smiled and leaned in. They both shared a deep kiss before pulling away.

"How can I love you if Jacob imprinted on me though?"

"I don't know….Bella this is something we have to ask Carlisle."

"No! Edward please I don't want the others to know about it."

"No one else has to know. Look, everyone is going hunting tonight. Carlisle has to work so he can't. I was going to go, but I'll stay here with you and we can talk to Carlisle alone and I'll catch up with the others later."

"He'll kick me out."

"Carlisle loves you Bella. Just like I do."

"OK but…but no one else can know."

"Deal."

Bella sighed. "What happened to my father?"

"He's in a coma. The doctors aren't sure of when or if he will ever wake up."

Bella looked down. "Is he in any pain?"

"No, I don't think so."

"What if he doesn't wake up?"

"You'll have to take him off life support."

Bella sighed. "He thinks I hate him."

"Bella, he loves you. He went out of his mind looking for you. I almost told him my secret just so I could find you faster."

"You did?"

"I wanted to but I didn't. He loves you Bella and he heard what you said to him. He knows you love and forgive him. He just needs to heal now."

Bella only nodded. "If he dies I'll never forgive myself."

"Bella this isn't your fault."

"I left with Jacob! If I hadn't left with him everyone would be safe and I wouldn't be imprinted and your stuff wouldn't have been ruined and I wouldn't have been sexually assaulted!"

"My stuff was ruined?"

"Jacob made me burn it. All our memories and stuff was burned."

"I don't care about that. He can't burn the memories we've created from our head and that's what matters."

Bella nodded. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Edward the others are leaving to go hunting. You better get home if you want to go with them.

I'm going later. Bella and I need to talk with you about something serious alone.

All right come back home. Once you get here we can talk.

Ok be there soon.

"Everyone is leaving to go hunting. Carlisle only has about an hour before he leaves for work so we need to get home." Edward said.

Bella just nodded. She climbed onto Edward's back and they ran home.

Once they reached the house Bella felt very nervous.

"Don't worry Bella. Everything will be all right." Edward soothed. He set her down onto her feet and took her hand. They went into Carlisle's office.

"Carlisle we need your help." Edward said.

"With what?"

"Bella."

"What about Bella?"

"Jacob imprinted on her and now she isn't allowed to love me but she still does. What can we do?"

To their surprise Carlisle started to laugh.

"Carlisle this isn't funny!"

"Actually it is. Bella isn't imprinted on."

"Jacob said I was."

"How many times has he lied to you?"

"A lot but…"

"Bella, a wolf can only imprint on someone who loves them back. It is described as being pulled toward that person, while a glowing heat fills him; the connection with everything else is severed, and only the imprintee is left to matter, leaving the wolf with a deep need to provide the imprintee anything she needs or wants. Imprinting can't be forced on anyone, no matter how much the wolf may want it. They had to agree to the imprinting or it won't work. You still love Edward so you're not imprinted on. Jacob lied to you."

What!"

"It's the truth!"

Bella squealed as she and Edward hugged tightly.

"Thank you!" Bella squealed.

"You're welcome. Now I've got to get to work. Will you two be ok on your own?"

"We will be fine."

"I'll go hunt later when you come home."

"Ok you two. Have fun."

Carlisle left and Bella squealed. "I'm not imprinted on!"

"No, your not. You're all mine."

"Sounds a little possessive…" Bella teased.

"Right…sorry." Edward muttered.

Bella laughed. "Relax Edward I'm just teasing you."

Edward looked at Bella a playful evil glare in his eyes. "You know, most people who tease vampires don't walk unpunished."

Bella squealed and started to run. Edward chased her for a few minutes before gaining speed and catching her around the waist.

"Why do you even bother to run? You know I can easily catch you."

"It's part of the fun. Now that you have me…what are you going to do to me?"

"Hmmm, well there are a lot of things I could do but since I love you, I'll give you a chance to get out of this free. All you have to do is say 'I Bella Swan am terribly sorry for teasing my loving, caring, boyfriend Edward Cullen."

"If I don't?"

"Well….then I'll just have to take out the…TICKLE MONSTER!"

Bella squealed squirming in his arms. Edward just laughed. "You might as well say it because there is no way you can escape me."

Actually there was one way, Edward just didn't know that. Bella pouted and let out a whimper.

"Pwease Edward wet me go!" Bella pouted giving him her best puppy dog pout.

"Bella!" Edward whined.

"Pwease, your grip is hurting my boo-boos."

Edward let her go instantly. Bella laughed. "NOT! That was too easy."

"That's it Bella you're in trouble now!"

Bella screamed playfully as she started to run again. Only this time Edward caught her in no time. He carried her into his room and threw her gently onto the bed and climbed onto of her pinning her down.

"No!" Bella squealed.

"You had your chance Bella. Now you must pay." His cold hands went right to her sides tickling her. Bella screeched and wiggling under him. "N-no Ed-Edward!" she giggled.

"Say the magic words or you're going to endure more."

"Nev-never!"

"Fine," Edward moved his hands to her stomach, her most ticklish spot. Bella screamed again and burst into laughter.

"OK ! OK!"

"Ok what?"

"I'll say it! Just sto-stop!"

Edward laughed and stopped his attacked.

"I Bella Swan am terribly sorry for teasing my loving, caring, boyfriend Edward Cullen."

"Good girl." Edward told her kissing her head.

He rolled off her and just lay with her.

"Edward?"

"Yes Love?"

"What…what's going to happen to Jacob."

"I honestly don't know Bella. If it was up to me, he'd die but it's not so I'm not really sure. I do know that he will never get his hands on you again. I'll protect you."

Bella just nodded. "What about my dad?"

"I don't know. Alice has been watching but she hasn't seen anything."

"Do you thing he will die?"

"I don't know Bella. I know he is a fighter and he is going to fight this but I will not promise you anything I am not 100% sure about. Just have faith he'll wake up."

Bella sighed and nodded. She had thought once the truth about the imprinting was out she'd feel better, so why did she still feel like this shy little girl who couldn't be alone for a second without freaking out? How could she possibly get over this and move on with her life?

A/N so I'll ask you the same question, can and will Bella get through this? Leave me your thoughts in a review.
