Bella's POV.
I left the house at a near run. How could this be happening? just last week he had given me somthing I had been nagging and negotiating for for weeks and near daily he had professed his undying love. And he had meant it. It hadn't been a lie he had really meant it but today that was all gone, This was different to the time he had left. That time he lied to try and protect me This time he really didn't love me anymore. I had seen the truth in his eyes. The love that used to burn there for me was gone. I didn't have any clue how but somehow it had been suddenly and totally replaced with a love for someone else. And what hurt worse than all that was that the love burning in his eyes now was an inferno a hundred thousand times stronger than my fire had ever been. I had to figure out what to do but it wasn't hard to decide. A plan was already forming in my mind. I pulled over and made two phone calls the first to Sam Uley he answered quickly.
"Hello"
"Hello Sam it's bella"
"Hello Bella its unusual for you to call me you usually call Seth"
"I know but I need a favour"
"Oh ?"
"Something's happened, don't worry I'm fine but I really need to see Jacob, i know that if you give an order in a certain way he has to do it, could you pretty please phase and order him to come to first beach as fast as he can run and could you also order him that no matter how he feels about what I have say to him he is not to attack Edward or any of the others Cullen's"
"What's happened Bella has Edward hurt you" Sam demanded
"No" I insisted quickly "well yes but not in any way that you need to get het up over," I paused wondering briefly how much to tell Sam, . "he's left me, don't panic" I added quickly "I'm ok this time honest and I already know what I'm going to do but I need to see Jacob ASAP and I don't want him hurting the cullens in a fit of peak. Please Sam"
"Alright give me a minute" the line went quiet but he hadn't hung up, a few minutes later he was back
"Ok. Jacob is running this way as we speak he was just the other side of the Canadian border but he is very fast, he will be at first beach In About an hour. I warn you tho he hates me laying down the law like that. he's pissed at me for doing it and at you for asking. And the bit about the cullens has him worried"
"Thank you Sam" I said earnestly and was about to hang up when Sam spoke again
"You will tell me what your going to do soon won't you"
"Of course but I have to sort things out first. "
"Ok bye for now bella"
"Bye Sam"
I hung up. Then dialled another number one I had never called before
"Hello" Tanya said as she answered the phone
"Hello Tanya it's Bella"
"Hello Bella what can I do for you"
"Ok I know this is a really weird request seeing as I haven't even met you yet but something has happened and I'd like to come stay with you for a while." I paused "and I want to bring a wolf with me" I waited
"We would be happy to have you but it's a jolly long way to come I think you had better explain what's going on"
"Short version or long version" I asked
"The full version please"
"Ok Well today about a half hour ago Edward told me that the wedding was off and be was leaving me. He didn't tell me why but I could tell from the look on his face that it's because he doesn't love me anymore and I could also tell that he really meant it. he has fallen in love with someone else. And I still intend to be a vampire 1 because of the Voltori and 2 because I know that I belong in your world. I will probably go back to the cullens eventually I feel like I belong in that family but right now I want to be with people who I can trust who know everything and who don't live in the same house as Edward, And I want to bring a wolf because Jacob is my best friend and he was there for me before and I need him now I don't know why but I know that I do" I said it all in a garbled rush now on the verge of tears but Tanya with her enhanced hearing was able to catch it all. She didn't speak for about ten seconds
"Oh Bella honey that's awful, and your handling it so well. of course you are more that welcome here for as long as you want. And if you need this Jacob then he is welcome as well. We can even talk about plans to ch age you when you get here"
"Thank you Tanya. We should be there early tomorrow"

I hung up. I sat in the car for a few minutes more while I collected my thoughts and pushed back the tears. It wouldn't do to cry now I knew once I started I wouldn't stop for some time. I would wait until I was with jake. Suddenly the urge to see him intensified. I started the car and pulled back onto the road I began driving as fast as I safely could to first beach. When I got there I parked, got out of the car and walked onto the beach I got about half way to the sea then sat heavily on the stones. I stared into the waves and tried not to think, it wasn't hard I had always found the movement of the sea entrancing. I was still sat there mesmerised by the waves crashing into the shore when Jacob arrived and sat next to me
"Ok Bella what's going on that made you feel the need to have Sam drag me back here. And why will it make me want to attack the cullens.?" His words were harsh but his tone was worried and friendly.
I could barely get my voice to work to reply.
"He left me, he means it this time, he loves someone else" That was all I managed to choke out before I began crying.
"Oh Bella honey that's horrible. How could he do that to you" he growled "i see the point of the no attacking Edward order now" I swatted his arm gently but couldn't speak through the tears now flowing down my face like a flood.
"It will all be ok somehow I'm here for you" he wrapped his arms around me and I rested my head on his shoulder and just bawled. Jacob held me for a long time until the tears slowed and the loud sobs turned into hiccups. Finally they stopped altogether and I sat up.
"I just can't believe this. We were supposed to be getting married in two weeks. i was supposedly the most important thing in his world he promised to love me forever and i believed him. I really though we would be together forever, especially after last week, we seemed to fit so well."
Jacob instantly latched onto one piece of my rambling.
"What happened last week"
I blushed, I had said more than I had intended. I didn't want to answer but I could tell from his face that he wasn't going to let this drop.
"Erm. well. A few weeks ago, shortly before the battle with the newborns Edward and I were discussing human experiences and the fact that I would feel different after I was changed. I don't care about human experiences generally. But after hearing about a bet between some of the others and considering how much the newborn bloodlust is said to be all consuming I was a little concerned about one way that I would be different. I was worried that after I was changed I would want blood more than I would want Edward. I decided there was one experience I wanted before I was changed. Edward said no at first we argued about it for several weeks but then Edward agreed to it if i agreed to marry him before I was changed, although he insisted we wait until after the wedding. But last week he changed his mind. Decided I could have it straight away after all"
"What experience" Jacob demanded but from the growl in his voice I had a feeling he had guessed
I whispered. Jacob growled loudly.
"You do know your an idiot for suggesting that don't you. And he is a bigger idiot for agreeing. He could have killed you. If his control had slipped for a single moment he could have crushed you."
I opened my mouth to argue but he put his hand over it.
"Rants over let's not argue. That's only the smaller part of my anger"
"What's the larger part"
"The fact that He breaks up with you after all he has promised especially the week after sleeping with you for the fist time. Of all the nasty slimy things to do" he was getting very irate each word was punctuated with snarls.
"Calm down Jacob. I'm sure he has his reasons"
Jacob just growled again. We sat in silence for a few minutes while Jacob calmed down and I fought a return of the tears. Finally Jacob spoke.
"What are you going to do now? are you going to stay human?"
"No, I still intend to be a vampire. I belong in that world I can feel it"
"Ok I kinda knew you were going to say that, I've been thinking a lot about about you wanting to be a vampire while I was away and I have realised that I can't stop you and that breaking friends with you over it would be a bit petty so I will be here for you even as a vampire"
"I was hoping you would say something like that"
Your my best mate bella how could I not be there for you" he grinned at me I returned his smile
"And your my best mate"
"Where are you going to go? Back to your dads?"
"No, Well I have to go back to the Cullen's house first all my stuff is there and I need to talk to Edward I need to know more. Don't try and talk me out of it i need to know who this new person is. And then I am going to go and stay with another vegetarian clan in Denali. I said I would be there early tomorrow. I was hoping you would come with me"
Jacob was surprised by that request but he didn't miss a beat
"Of course I will come Bella . If we are going back to the Cullen's before hitting the road we should probably make a move as soon as you are ready" I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and got to my feet.
"Come on then" I started walking towards my car. Jacob reached it first and opened the passenger door for me. I gave him a dirty look but got in. He walked round the bonnet and got in the drivers side started the engine and reversed away from the beach. I looked out of the window in science and steeled myself ready to face Edward.
