I ran towards the house without turning back to look at him. I didn't want to him to see me crying. I guess I wasn't paying much attention as to where I was headed, because I ran right in to the cold, hard chest of Jasper. I threw my arms around him and just kept crying. It must have been awkward for him. He pulled me off into the house so people would stop staring at us.

I kept crying for a while, but slowly stopped, probably thanks to Jasper. He walked me up to Edward's room and gave me another awkward hug before leaving. He also told me to call out his name and he would come if I needed someone for any reason what-so-ever.

I turned from the door as it snapped shut as Jasper left and I waked over to Edward's CD wall. Running my finger down the columns of CD's I stopped at a Verve Pipe CD and pulled it out to put it in the stereo. I hit the play button and turned it up loud enough so that I couldn't hear the noise from the party downstairs.

I fell asleep pretty quickly after lying down on the couch. When I woke up, the CD wasn't playing anymore and Jasper and Edward were standing inside the room arguing. Inconsiderate brats! I was trying to sleep.

Jasper was talking a lot more than I had ever heard him do at one time, and he was sticking up for me and what I wanted. Remind me to thank him later.

"You can't keep holding the transformation over her head like that! It's not fair to keep changing your mind and getting out of it. Imagine how frustrated she must be getting!" Jasper was saying.

"Bug out Jasper! She is my girlfriend not yours! How could you damn anyone to this life we have to lead?"

"Its not damning her if it is what she wants! She loves you and wants to spend the rest of time with you. And if you don't do it soon, I will!"

I had to put my hands up to my ears at that point as Edward yelled his response at Jasper. By this point I had moved from the couch to the corner of the room and was all huddled up, really freaked out my all the yelling from the two vampire brothers.

When Edward turned and saw that I was in the room he moved over to me. I flinched, thinking he was going to hurt me or something, which must have made him feel disgusted with himself if the look on his face was any indication.

Anyway, when he got over to me, he pulled me on to his lap and held me tightly.

"Is this really what you want?"

I nodded yes, not trusting my voice at that point.

"How can you damn me to do this to you?"

"If you won't do it, let one of your family do it!"

"Who? You know Rosalie wont and will talk Emmett out of it. I know Jasper would; he just said so, but could you trust him not to accidentally kill you?"

"That still leaves Alice and Esme, and most importantly Carlisle. He could do it without losing control and you know it. I'd still rather it was you that did it, Edward, but I don't want to wait until I am older because I don't want to spend the rest of eternity so much older than you."

"You know I love you and want you to be with me forever, I'm just scared of taking your soul."

"You took my heart; I'm giving you my soul."

"Let me at least watch you sleep one more night and let you have a final meal before I change you. Please Bella."

"If you don't do it tomorrow, I will get someone else to because I'm tired of waiting."

And with that said, I got up and walked to Alice's room. She wasn't in there but I knew she wouldn't mind if I slept in there, and I didn't want to be around Edward even though he said he wanted to watch me sleep. Too bad. I don't want to be near him right now.

When I woke up in the morning I took a quick human moment and showered and got dressed before going down stairs and pouring myself a bowl of cereal.

"HEY! Give that back! I was eating that!" I complained at Edward when he took my food away from me.

"Eat a real meal."

"I'm not hungry and more." I claimed before tugging at the neck of my shirt and tilting my head to the side.

"I ate food. Now change me. Not my fault you took my food away." I said being grumpy.

"Not so fast Bella. I'm sorry, but we need to leave her to change you." Carlisle said as he entered the kitchen.

"Why not here?"

"Because of the treaty. We can't change you here or we would. If we change you here, we can never return to Forks and we may need to in a few decades when we run out of other overcast climates to live in."

"Where then?"

"Canada, near where you two will be going to college in the fall. We rented a summer house. The three of us will go up now and the others will join us in a few days after your change."

"Lets go then."

With all that said, I glared at Edward, still mad at him before going upstairs to grab my bags. Once I had them I walked outside and asked Carlisle which car to put them in since he said we would be driving. He pointed at Edward's shiny silver Volvo so I threw my bags in the trunk.

We had gotten about 20 minutes out of town when I realized there was something I needed to do. I asked if we could pull over for a human moment and I ran into a McDonalds and found a pay phone. The phone rang twice before he picked up.

"Hello?" it was Jacob luckily, not Billy.

"Hey Jake! Its me, Bella."

"What do you want?"

"I need to see you again before I leave here."

"Why?"

"Because you are still my best friend, Jake."

There was a long pause before he responded.

"Where are you?"

I told him the McDonalds I was at and he said he would be there in a few minutes. We hung up with each other and I went back out to the car. I hated to ask for money but I had to. Edward had taken my breakfast away from me and I was hungry and broke. Carlisle handed me a 20, which was a lot more than you need to get breakfast at this kind of place but that's okay.

Of all the things I could miss once changing, I had a feeling McDonalds fries would be one of the things I missed most. I had just gotten through the line, buying two breakfast meals so I could give one to Jake when he showed up, when Edward came over to me and grabbed my arm.

"Lets go. That dog is here." He said growling angrily.

"You go with Carlisle to the car. I need to do this before I change. I asked him to come here."

Edward looked livid, but went out to the car. I guess he understood how important it was to me. Carlisle smiled at me, so I knew he really understood and didn't mind waiting.

Anyway, Jake came through the door and I ran over to him and hugged him.

"You smell." Was his lovely greeting. I just hugged him tighter.

We walked over to a table and sat down and I handed him a bag.

"You're letting him bite you, aren't you? That's why you asked me here. You wanted to say goodbye because you knew I would never talk to you again after this. That we would be enemies." He looked like he was about to cry.

"I'm sorry Jake. I wish you guys weren't sworn enemies like this. I will miss you so much, but I love him. I wish I could stay your friend, and I want to, but you wont let me, will you?" I was crying.

He didn't reply but reached across the table and grabbed my hands. He smiled sadly then grabbed his breakfast again. We finished eating in silence, then he got up to leave.

I stood up and gave him another hug. He kissed me briefly on the top of my head before walking out. I threw out the empty bags and went outside to the car. I was still crying.

My anger at Edward had dissolved, mainly because I needed him right now. I got in the back seat with him and put my head against his chest, still crying. He hugged me.

I apologized to both Edward and Carlisle for that, but said it was something I had to do. Carlisle said he understood completely and then started driving once again. Edward didn't say anything but held me tighter.

I fell asleep against Edward like that as we were driving. Around nightfall, we reached the house that they had rented.

The house wasn't nearly as big as the house in Forks was, but it was still pretty big and very nice. We walked inside and Edward lead me to the room for my transformation.

We sat in that room in silence until Carlisle came in after unloading the car. As soon as Carlisle entered the room, Edward spoke, asking me if I was sure this was what I wanted. I told him yes.

"I love you, Bella."

And into my neck went his fangs.
