Bella just got back from Edwards, she went there as a friend though, not as his girlfriend.

It was beginning to drizzle when Edward turned onto my street. Up unril that moment, I'd had no doubt that he's be staying with me while I spent a few interim hours in the real world.
And then I saw the black car, a weathered Ford , parked in Charlie's driveway – and heard Edward mutter something unintelligible in a low, harsh voice.
Leaning away from the rain under the shallow front porch, Jacob stoodin front of the door. His face was impassive as stone as Edward parked my truck against the curb. Jacob stared down, his expression mortified, livid, betrayed…
Edward's low voice was furious. "I though you talked to him."
I looked at him with a shocked expression. "He's been grounded, I haven't been able to." I said as I got out of the truck. "Let me deal with this." I suggested. Edward's black glare made me anxious.
To my surprise, he agreed. "That's probably best. Be careful though. He's afraid he might phase." I shuddered as Emily's image rippled through my head.
"Jacob has self-control." I reminded him.
He looked at me then, his anger abruptly fading. "Oh, I know." He assured me with a grin.
I sighed and was about to close the door when he spoke again. "Get them inside," he instructed, "so I can leave. I'll be back when he's gone…maybe sooner if things get out of hand." I smiled and nodded closing the door.
I could feel his eyes on my back as I half-ran through the light sprinkle toward the porch. "Hey Jake." I said and he leaned in to kiss me, I tried desperately to back away but he got my lips and forcefully kissed me. I pushed him lightly and he back away and I unlocked the door leading the way in taking one last glance at Edward. He was waiting, perfectly still, his eyes solemn.
We sat down in the living room. Me in the chair, him on the couch. "I hope you haven't been waiting long."
"Not long." Jacob said in a subdued tone. His black eyes piercing. "I just wanted to drop by. I was ungrounded early, and Billy is gone for two days with Charlie on a fishing trip. Thought I'd come see you, see how you were." I nodded.
"Thanks." I said half-heartedly. We sat in silence for a long moment. Then I broke it. "Jake…I need to talk to you." I said slowly. HE was at my side in a flash.
"What's wrong?"
I sighed deeply closing my eyes encouraging my tears back into my eyes. "You told me that when you imprint on someone, you'll be what they need you to be." He nodded; he obviously saw what was coming. I turned to face and threw my arms around his neck setting my forehead on his feverish shoulder.
"Jake, you know that I love you, but not the same way you love me, I can never love you that way, and right now I really , really just need you to be my best-friend. Please understand…" He pulled me back in shock.
"Why can't you love me?" He whispered.
I smiled sadly. "Because I'm already in love." I replied.
"The blood sucker?" He asked and I nodded. He sighed and stood up brushing his hand across my cheek. "I understand Bella. And of course, I'll be your best friend. I understand; I really do. But just know, I can't stay away from you." He lifted me up like a toddler, from under the arms and hugged me. I hugged him back whispering my thanks over and over.
And so the lamb was best friends with the wolf and in love with the lion, all was good and the lamb was happy and peaceful. But how long could this last??
The End
