Jake took my hand and led me inside, Alice and Jasper following behind me. I only vaguely registered that Caitlyn wasn't here.
I turned around and Alice seemed to sense what I was thinking.
"She's with Jasper's parents." She murmured to me.
I sat down on the sofa, with Jake next to me. Alice and Jasper sat down opposite us.
I stared at the floor.
"What do you mean he might be?" I asked Jake.
Alice raised her eyebrow questioningly. When I didn't say anything, Jake answered for me.
"Edward."
"Edward might be what?" Jasper asked.
"Coming back." I said in an emotionless voice.
"Oh, Bella, sweetie." Alice sighed.
She stood up and walked over to me. When Jacob didn't move, she glared at him, until he got up and sat down on the chair next to me. Alice took his place.
"I know you miss him, honey, but he's not coming back. He'll always be in our hearts though."
I didn't believe he was coming back either. I had lost all hope.
"I know." I looked at Jake, and I think he saw the grief in my eyes.
He seemed as though he wanted to speak, but something was holding him back.
"What is it?" I asked him.
He looked into my eyes, and I could see the conflict in his. It seemed like he was deciding whether or not to tell me something.
"You have to tell me." I told him.
He seemed startled that I knew he was holding something back.
He hesitated for a few moments, before sighing.
"Right. Your happiness is more important."
I didn't know what he meant, but I didn't say anything.
"We can get Edward back, if that's what you really want. There is a way."
There was a stunned silence from everyone.
"Do you really think giving her false hope is going to help?" Jasper muttered.
"Jake…I don't think you should…" Alice started to say but I interrupted her.
"Tell me what I need to do." I said. There was no doubt in my mind. If I could him back, then that's what I would do.
Jacob closed his eyes briefly, before opening them and nodding.
"Your phone. Just tell him not to drive anywhere that day."
Of course. My phone! Just one phone call into the past could change everything! I could get Edward back!
I sprang up, before wincing in pain.
Alice, Jasper and Jake all rushed forwards to help me.
"Slowly, Bella. You've only just come out from hospital." Jasper told me.
"I need to ring him…my phone." I said.
Alice nodded. "I know you do. But you sit down, I'll go get your phone."
I smiled happily. Edward was coming back! How had I not thought of this? I was in so much pain and grief because I had lost him, that I didn't even think of changing it so the accident never happened.
Jake sat down next to me and put an arm around my shoulder.
I hugged him tightly again.
"Thank you so much, Jake."
It was then that I saw the hurt in his eyes.
"You're going to tell him not to go out on that day? Which means that you would never have gone to that restaurant."
I frowned. I still didn't see where this was going.
"Yeah, more or less. Which means the accident would never have happened!"
He sighed.
"So we wouldn't have had that conversation outside the restaurant."
The conversation? I thought back. It was hard as all I could remember was the car crashing into that truck, and flipping over. But what had happened before that?
"Think back, Bella."
"I was having dinner with Edward in that restaurant…" I said slowly. "And then…you were there! And I went outside to talk to you."
Jake nodded, which I took as a sign to continue.
"You told me…you still loved me. But I said I hadn't had time to think about it…And then I was going back inside, and you grabbed my hand…and kissed me."
We were both quiet.
Jake broke the silence first.
"But as soon as you make that phone call telling him not to go out, then it all goes. You guys wouldn't have gone out to dinner, which means I wouldn't have followed you, which means we would never have kissed."
I shook my head, trying to concentrate.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not not going to make the phone call for the sake of one memory!"
"It's not just a memory! It was a sign for you! Showing you that Edward's not the only guy out there that loves you! It could lead to something more!"
"No!" I yelled back. "It was just a memory! It can't lead to anything more because I love Edward!"
"You promised me you would think about you and me!" Jake said quietly.
"And I will. Just not now. I've gone through a lot."
"I know that. But as soon as Edward comes back into the picture, you'll never really give me a chance. All you can see is him!"
It took a few seconds for that to sink in. I then knew what Jake was really saying.
"You're saying…I shouldn't make the phone call?"
He looked down at the floor.
"If you do make that phone call, then I know there'll be no chance for us."
I looked around the room. Alice had gone to get my phone for me, and Jasper was sitting on the sofa, looking awkward.
When he saw me staring at him, he quickly jumped up.
"I…I'll just go answer my phone." He said, even though there were no phones ringing. He quickly marched out of the room.
I turned back to Jacob, who was looking at me.
"So…you're saying…it's either you or Edward?"
He didn't say anything so I continued.
"If I make this phone call and Edward comes back…then you'll go? You'll leave me?"
He squeezed his eyes, and I could see this was hurting him as much as it was hurting me.
"Yes. If you make that phone call…I'll leave."

I walked up the stairs to talk to Alice.
I found her in Bella's room.
"Alice, it's really awful down there. I think Jacob just made Bella choose between him and Edward. I left before she made her decision though. It's really awkward though. Come on we better go comfort Bella, because I think she'll choose Edward. Then Jake will leave and she'll be upset. Let's go."
Alice then turned around to face me. She looked really anxious and tense.
"What's wrong, Alice?" I asked her, worriedly.
"I can't find Bella's phone. It's not here. She won't be able to ring into the past. She won't be able to get Edward back!"
