Author’s Notes: well here we go. Another little part of the story. I’m trying my hardest to keep the updates coming for you. Let me know what you think.

Part four

Bella POV

I stared to my window sill. He hadn’t been there a moment ago. What was he doing here?

I couldn’t move. I could barely even breathe. I looked at those beautiful golden eyes. That pale skin...that tortured look. Before I could move Edward crushed me to him. Holding me tightly.

“You’re alright” he whispered. I could hear the relief in his voice and wondered why he thought I wouldn’t be. Actually it seemed ironic that all those times I wasn’t alright and he never came....but now that I was alright, getting on with my life, now he shows up. “What happened Bella?” What happened was you went away...

“Edward?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper, although I knew he would hear it with no problem.

“Yes Bella I’m here.” He said, pulling back slightly to look at my face. “Alice saw...and we thought that....Bella I thought you were dead.” They thought I was dead? He leaves me in the woods, leaves me alone, leave me to Laurent, the motorbikes all of that and now he comes back.

“I don’t understand.” I replied. “What did Alice see?”

“She saw you drowning Bella, and then you disappeared. We thought the worst.” He said, still clinging onto me. I could still barely believe he was here holding me, but gradually I began to understand what had happened.

“She saw me cliff diving?” I asked.

“Cliff diving?” he asked, looking somewhat annoyed. “Please tell me you’re joking.”

“I jumped of the cliffs at La Push only...I couldn’t seem to swim to shore but Jacob saved me.” I explained, a little hesitant to touch on the subject of Jacob and I.

“I knew I could smell dog.” He muttered, glancing towards Jacob’s jacket. “So that’s why you disappeared...” He turned and took a few steps towards the window.

“No, wait! Don’t go!” I cried out grabbing his arm. He turn back to me and smiled for the first time since he’d been here. My heart skipped at the sight of it.

“I just need to explain to Alice.” He said. “I didn’t know if she had managed to see that you’re alright.” He put his hand into his pocket for his mobile to call Alice.

“Sorry.” I said a little embarrassed.

“So you should be but not about that.” He replied, before Alice answered his call. “Alice?......You saw.....good......yes......alright......” Then he hung up. I looked at him waiting for him to explain.

“She saw.” I said.

“Yes, she wants you to come to ours later this evening. Everyone is coming back.” He said. “not right away but they’re all heading back this way.” I suddenly realised I was still only in my towel and blushed a little.

Normally I would have turned completely scarlet but somehow after having Jacob see me naked this seemed like nothing in comparison.

“I’d better just go change.” I said sheepishly. Edward smiled widely and dazzled me.

“Now that I missed.” He said, stroking my rosy cheek. He was so close. I wanted to lean up and press my lips against his. My stomach growled and interrupted the moment. “and that. I’ll go make you something if you want so you can get changed.”

“You don’t have to do that.” I replied.

“I want to.” He said simply. Then I was alone in my room again. As soon as he was gone I felt guilt. Jacob crept his way into my mind. What exactly was I supposed to do now? I didn’t deserve either of them. I picked out a dark pair of jeans and dark blue jumper.

I sat on my bed for a moment. Edward was the man/vampire I was completely in love with. I had been missing part of myself when he was gone. Jacob had been the best friend that had gradually started to piece me together again. How could I hurt Jacob the same way Edward had hurt me? Wouldn’t Jacob be the easier choice anyway? I sighed. Giving up I went downstairs to face one of the most important men in my life.

Edward made me sit and eat the eggs and toast he made for me. It always surprised me how well he cooked for someone who didn’t eat.

“So you’re staying?” I asked uncomfortably.

“At the moment I don’t know.” He replied, at least he was being honest. “Fill me in on what I’ve missed. What on earth had you jumping off of a cliff? You know you have a habit of attracting danger in the first place. Why go looking for it?”

“Do you really care?” I asked harshly. I was happy he was back but it annoyed me that he was acting almost as if he never left.

“Of course I care Bella! That is why I am here!” he replied.

“You left. You left me to move on and live my life and I was.” I replied. “Did Alice not see anything that happened? Not even when Laurent came back? When I crash my motorcycle? Nothing?”

“I had no idea.” He replied, frowning, probably because of the motorcycle comment. “I had no idea Laurent would come back for you. I’m sorry. I should have realised it was too late.”

“Too late?”

“You already know about us. You have already become involved with our lives. Us leaving wouldn’t remove you from the danger...I just wanted to try to protect you.” He sounded so heartbroken. He took my hands in his and looked me in the eyes. “I don’t ever expect you to forgive me but I promise I will try my very hardest to make it up to you.”

Before I could answer there was a banging on the front door. I knew by Edward’s reaction it had to be Jacob. I went to let him in. I had only just about opened the door when he came bursting into the house.

“I knew you’d be here!” he shouted. “How dare you show your face here again?!” He shoved Edward against the kitchen wall.

“Jake stop!” I screamed. He let go of him but the yelling continued.

“I thought she was dead” Edward replied. “I had to come and find out...save her if I could.”

“Well too late leech! I did that part for you!” he growled.

Edward POV

I cringed as Jacob’s memories flashed back to that moment he couldn’t find her and then pulling her from the water.

“and I’m grateful for that.” I replied.

“You think you can just turn up and things be like they were before?” he growled at me. Images of Bella doubled over crying. Not leaving her room. Sat with Jacob. Him kissing her. Her kissing him back. Jacob was deliberately showing me what I had missed. Finishing with her straddling him moaning his name. I tried very hard to keep my face from betraying my hurt. Ultimately she had done what I wanted her to, what I told her to. She had moved on. However I had planning for that to be with a normal human boy not a werewolf. I should have known Bella would naturally be drawn to the supernatural.

“I don’t expect it to go back to what it was. Ultimately whatever happens is her choice.” I said, my voice cold.

Bella POV

I saw a flash of pain in Edward’s eyes and instantly I knew that he knew everything that had happened since he left. I felt so guilty. I felt like a dirty cheat. I didn’t wait for Edward and I had now involved Jake in this mess too. To top it off I loved them both.

“Jake. Please go back to La Push. Tell the others that the Cullen’s are heading back, but the treaty is still in tact. I need to talk to Edward.” I said. “I will speak to you later, I promise.” Jacob didn’t even say goodbye he just turned and walked out.

I headed upstairs and Edward followed. I sat on my bed and he sat next to me. I think he only sat to make me feel less awkward, since I knew he didn’t need to. I didn’t even know where to start.

“We need to talk-” I started.

“I know about you and Jacob, love.” He interrupted. “If that’s what you want I won’t stop you. I told you to move on. I left you I understand that.”

I didn’t know where to start or what to say. This was going to be an awkward conversation.

Author’s Notes: OK another part done. Please rate or review. I’m beginning to think no body is enjoying the story. I’ll keep writing it for me but if you guys don’t like it I might stop posting. I’ll give it a little while first.
