"Good morning, love."

I blinked my eyes open seeing Edward's smoldering topaz ones looking at me with such intensity that I forgot how to breathe. My heart sped up with the beauty that he was and his cheek lifted into my favorite crooked smile.

Finally he looked away letting me get my thoughts organized.

I think I wanted to ask him something, but for the life of me I couldn't remember.

It had to do with my dream last night... oh well must not have been important.

I stretched my tired muscles as Edward stood up from the bed. He was smoothing down the little wrinkles and creases in his clothing to get back to the impeccable perfection that was his norm.

"I need a human moment," I said standing up.

"Of course, love."

"Are you going to stay?" I asked while looking through my closet for clothes for work. I had a shift at Newton's that I needed to be ready for. I didn't bother saying it outright as it was a sore subject between us. Edward has been demanding that I quit that job because they have more money than God.

Okay well he didn't exactly say that, but it was totally implied.

I wanted to work at Newton's because it made me feel independent. I liked making my own money and having a purpose. It also served as one of the last human things I would ever be able to do at least for a couple years. My impending change was beginning to seem daunting, but I knew that this is what I had to do to be an equal to Edward. He was worth it.

"I have some business to take care of so I'll be leaving immediately."

My brow furrowed as I grabbed a pair of jeans with my Outfitters work shirt.

Business? School is over, what the heck was he talking about?

"What kind of business?" I asked turning to face him.

"Nothing you need to worry about, darling." He dismissed the subject.

"Okay," I conceded for now, but I knew I would bring it up later.

"Remember Alice wants to come over to go over wedding details, my love." Edward said as he prepared to jump out my window.

"Alright." I silently seethed in my head.

Ugh. I hate that Alice is making such a big deal of this. I was so not looking forward to the end of my shift.

"I love you." He said before slipping from my room.

"I love you too." I whispered knowing he would hear me.

~~~~~TTA~~~~~

I was driving home from Newton's after a long shift of helping hikers find gear to go through the woods. My eyes kept darting to the signs that were dotting the street poles of a missing boy.

My best friend.

Jacob Black.

It hurt so bad that he went missing just days after I 'broke up' with him. It ate at me that I was the cause of why he ran away that I was the one who pushed him to this. He didn't deserve this and oh how I wished that he could find someone who was worthy of his love.

I loved him, but it just wasn't enough.

The pain in my chest started to flare and I took one hand off the wheel to rub at my chest as if that would take away the ache. It really only hurt when Edward wasn't around, because his love soothed the hole that was there.

Jacob had left a crater in my heart the moment I found out that he was gone. I didn't even know that he left till Charlie came home angry as all hell that Billy hadn't done anything to find his missing son. It's not like Charlie knew that Jake was probably a wolf running only God knows where.

I called Seth and thankfully he wasn't angry with me like the rest of the pack was. I was able to get information out of him.

He had said that Jacob had just disappeared a few days ago, but that was almost two weeks ago when I first called him. Seth had told me the pack didn't know where he was, because Sam felt a disconnection between him and Jake.

I didn't know what that meant until Seth explained more about the connection.

Apparently an Alpha can feel all of his pack members, and if he really tried to concentrate he could tell where they were. It seemed really strange, but then again I was dating a guy who could read minds, so I guess it wasn't completely strange. Seth said it's really hard for Sam to tap into his powers. The Elders think it just takes time to really master them. However, when Sam was looking for him, the connection between them snapped.

One second he was there and the next he was gone. Seth had said.

They didn't think he died, because all the wolves would have felt the loss of a pack brother.

No one knew what happened to him.

They hoped that he was okay and would come back when he was ready. That's all that was left for them was hope.

I worried and wished there was something I could do.

I was just a human, though.

There wasn't anything special about me that could help my best friend.

He probably wouldn't want my help anyway. I just knew in my heart that I was the reason he was missing in the first place.

Oh God, what have I done?

If I hadn't gotten close to him when Edward had left, he wouldn't have fallen in love with me and he would be okay. He would be here right now, happy as he was before he had become entangled in my life.

Why did he have to love me? I wished he could just give his love to another, but a selfish part of me didn't want that for him. I wanted his love, but I couldn't give him what he so desperately wanted.

My love wasn't enough for him to let me leave Edward.

Edward and I couldn't be parted. We almost didn't survive it the last time he tried leaving; I didn't ever want to go through that again, so I had to stay with him.

I needed Edward, he was my addiction and I couldn't live without him.

I'm sorry, Jacob.

~~~~~TTA~~~~~

As I was getting ready for bed, my phone alerted me that I had a text message. I picked it up from the desk and turned on the screen to see who would text me this late. Edward wouldn't be here for another hour and I knew that he didn't really like to text so I knew it wasn't him.

He's home.

That was what the message had said from Seth and it made my heart speed up with excitement. I was just about to reply when I received another from him. I was going to give that little shape shifter the biggest hug I could the next time I see him.

I opened the other text to see what else he said.

He's different than before. I can't go into detail, but I think you should stay away, Bella.

What? Why? Is he okay? I replied biting my bottom lip.

I'm warning you for your own good, to stay away. I have to go now, just remember he isn't Jake anymore.

A/N- Reviews makes my muse happy... ;)
