Bella arrived back in Seattle but before she goes home she wants to try and see Jacob, maybe now he has cooled off and they were able to talk things out.

She will have to grovel to make everything right, hopefully he still wants her in Hawaii. If only she focused on him and just stay at the reservation.

If Jacob accepts her back she'll move to the reservation for good, She's certain that Edward will understand that they won't see each other as much.

The weather was rainy, it's always something she won't get used to, When she was in the airplane it was sunny seeing the sunrise over the cities above and the minute she arrives in Seattle she ended up in a large rain storm.

despite feeling hurt she enjoyed being in Florida, It was hard to leave again, It felt a part of her was screaming at her to just stay in Florida and just go to college there.

Maybe because she's afraid of being rejected harshly by Jacob, It would be another blow to the heart for her but it's her fault.

So she needs to put her fears aside and just face him, was Edward also feeling this horrible anxiety when He was the one who had to face her to apologize for his wrong doings? She knows now how it feels to be in his shoes.

But her being angry with him never stopped him from making things right, he risked getting hurt, risk of being banished but he never stalled things so she shouldn't do it either. Hopefully It won't take long to have him be good to her again, she's still hoping for marriage before graduation.

Bella arrived towards the gate of the reservation, her wheels created slush in the mud ruining her car, but she doesn't even notice any of it, She just wants to accept her fate,

whatever it is. Bella moved the gate fence out of the way and carefully walked towards her hut, the pack wasn't there and it seems like the Quileute tribe is preparing to leave. It looks so empty compared to how it was days ago.

She opened it and grabbed some of her things that needed laundry service and her books she brought, she then grabbed a pen and paper to write Jacob a letter, hopefully he'll read it when he returns. She will come back tomorrow, give Seth a goodbye present If she's no longer allowed to come here.

She looked at the atmosphere one more time and felt like waiting for him might not be a good idea, so to pour her heart out she'll see Edward, he's a lot wiser than her due to his upbringing in a different time but maybe he can give her advise.

When Bella placed things in her truck ready to leave an agitated Leah was watching her the whole time, the car started and drove off and when Bella left out of sight Leah waited until Billy came back from grocery shopping.

Leah never Understood what Jacob sees in that Leech lover but she wants Bella out of here for good.

Billy was talking to Seth kind of feeling envious of the new wolf, he'll be around for a long time If only Billy had the wolf gene.

Leah cleared her throat to get both of their attention, "Billy can I have a word?" Leah asked.

Billy agreed and allowed Seth to push his wheelchair a bit further away and went to his home so that he won't hear their conversation.

"That Swan woman was here a moment ago, She's probably looking for Jacob" Leah sneers.

"Oh that's wonderful, I was frightened that Bella is upset with us" Billy said relieved and Leah felt her blood boil.

"No It's not! I want this Leech lover far away from here" Leah said, " She chose to interact with the Cullen's again, Seth saw her and that freak together"

"Jacob was hurt by her betrayal so you have every reason to keep her out so that I can move around peacefully around here without seeing her face" Leah said.

"Listen, whatever happened that's between her and Jacob, If you don't like Bella coming over here then why won't you live somewhere else?" Billy said.

"But I'm part of the tribe since birth" Leah said upset. "I don't have to go anywhere because of her!"

"Well you won't be part of this tribe if you keep on behaving this way" Billy said.

"Bella did nothing that warrants a ban" Billy said.

"So you're going to defend that leech lover?" Leah said.

"The Cullens were manipulating her, she's a victim and the daughter of my best friend" Billy said.

"I promised him to look after Bella when she's here, You can either accept it or leave"

"She kissed that creature while she's with Jacob" Leah snaps.

"You don't know anything about vampires do you?" Billy said.

"They are otherworldly beautiful, Their scent can lure any human into their trap, they are alluring so that they can get close with their victim" Billy said.

"A male vampire could easily enchant you if they want to feast upon your blood so I don't believe Bella truly wanted to kiss or even fall in love with a monster like that" Billy said.

"So I don't care what you'll do as long as Bella isn't safe from the Cullen's I will not deny her access here" Billy added.

Leah huffed and walked away angry she won't tell Billy what she'll do next to keep Bella away, Maybe she should make a plan to kill that leech lover.

Her existence hasn't been beneficial for that Leech, because why would he dump her? And she never made herself useful towards Jacob for hurting him so having Bella eliminated from existence would benefit the tribe. But how is she going to do that?

She won't be able to fight the Cullen's alone, Seth wouldn't allow her to come close to Bella to kill her, she's only human and less stronger than the other werewolves so she'll never have a chance to kill her.

Or maybe she could find someone who hates Bella just as much as she does.

Bella arrived home around nighttime and she will try and see Jacob again tomorrow,

On the next day Bella remained close to her house and sends Edward a text message that he can come over. seconds after she pressed send a silhouette emerged from the forest,

Edward came, faster than the human eyes he emerged close to where Bella was sitting, and for the first time Bella reached her hand for him to grab onto.

"Hi" Bella said blinking her tears away, but tried to seem happy around Edward.

"Bella, I was worried about you.. your plane landed hours ago and then I didn't know where you went" Edward said.

"I went to the reservation, I waited for Jacob a little so we could talk" Bella said. " Didn't Alice see that?" Bella asked.

"No, when Werewolves are near she can't see your future" Edward said. " Please let me know next time" I almost wanted to cross the line to see if you are okay" Edward said.

Bella felt her gut wrench, Bella was at the reservation and didn't see anybody so Jacob was probably there but didn't bother to acknowledge her. or maybe Seth as taking a nap somewhere.

'Bella?'

"Bella please, talk to me" Edward said rubbing her shoulder,

"Sorry, I'm just hurt that I managed to ruin so much for myself.. for others.. I'm a rotten person" Bella said.

"Bella everyone makes mistakes, You are not rotten, If you were you wouldn't blame yourself for everything" Edward said.

"So may I please now what happened?" Edward asked and Bella nodded looking at the ground.

"Why did you ran from me?" Edward asked when Bella didn't start explaining.

"Not from you, I needed to leave Forks because well.. Jacob is angry, he thinks I've chosen you over him and won't pick up the phone" Bella said.

"It's my fault, He hates vampires and I completely disregarded that to become friends with you" Bella said.

" I didn't want to hurt you anymore, I could have continued being cold to you but you were trying so hard to make things right that I dropped the façade."

"I could no longer pretend that I don't give a crap about you," Bella said,

"And now.. the love of my life is gone" Bella added becoming more distraught.

Edward felt awful, he feels that it's his fault, ever since he came back he tried to sabotage things between her and Jacob.

Despite hating Jacob he has always been good to her, but maybe he can solve things for her, Jacob deserves her for now.

"Bella, shall I go find him?" Edward offered.

"Find him?" Bella said.

" I could track him down and convince him to come back to you" Edward said.

" I don't think he'll listen" Bella said.

"I'll make him listen, He'll hear from me that nothing is going on between us" Edward said.

"It seems impossible, Jacob hates me more than anything but I'll do everything to make you happy in this world Bella" Edward said.

"That's very kind Edward but I don't want you to get in trouble, I'm the one who caused this and I will not leave until we spoke.

Edward gulped deciding not to say anything more and support her decision.

"Go see him," Edward said encouraging,

"Thank you" Bella said and allowed Edward to accompany her towards the treaty line, When she went over there Edward Volvo stopped, He gave a quiet acknowledging honk from his car, Bella waved bye quick before she places her hand back on the steering wheels.

Edward waited until she disappeared behind the woods and drove back, it started to rain while waiting for the traffic light to go green, It was a bittersweet moment for him seeing her leave. but he's glad that Bella isn't giving up this easily. A selfish part of him hopes Jacob will not accept her but the majority of Edward is willing to accept that Bella can be happy without him.
