oken。　I　wasn't　sure

exactly　what　to　do　about　the

leftover；　unresolved　character。　Where　was　his　happily　ever　after？

Weeks　passed；　and　Jacob　still　wouldn't　answer　my　calls。　It　started　to　bee　a

constant　worry。　Like　a

dripping　faucet　in　the　back　of　my　head　that　I　couldn't　shut　off　or　ignore。

Drip；　drip；　drip。　Jacob；　Jacob；

Jacob。

So；　though　I　didn't　mention　Jacob　much；　sometimes　my　frustration　and　anxiety

boiled　over。

〃It's　just　plain　rude！〃　I　vented　one　Saturday　afternoon　when　Edward　picked　me

up　from　work。　Being

angry　about　things　was　easier　than　feeling　guilty。　〃Downright　insulting！〃

I'd　varied　my　pattern；　in　hopes　of　a　different　response。　I'd　called　Jake　from

work　this　time；　only　to　get　an

unhelpfulBilly。Again。

〃Billy　said　he　didn't　want　to　talk　to　me；〃　I　fumed；　glaring　at　the　rain　oozing

down　the　passenger　window。

〃That　he　was　there；　and　wouldn't　walk　three　steps　to　get　to　the　phone！　Usually

Billy　just　says　he's　out　or

busy　or　sleeping　or　something。　I　mean；　it's　not　like　I　didn't　know　he　was

lying　to　me；　but　at　least　it　was　a

polite　way　to　handle　it。　I　guess　Billy　hates　me　now；　too。　It's　not　fair！〃

〃It's　not　you；　Bella；〃　Edward　said　quietly。　〃Nobody　hates　you。〃

〃Feels　that　way；〃　I　muttered；　folding　my　arms　across　my　chest。　It　was　no　more

than　a　stubborn　gesture。

There　was　no　hole　there　now—I　could　barely　remember　the　empty　feeling

anymore。

〃Jacob　knows　we're　back；　and　I'm　sure　that　he's　ascertained　that　I'm　with

you；〃　Edward　said。　〃He　won't

e　anywhere　near　me。　The　enmity　is　rooted　too　deeply。〃

〃That's　stupid。　He　knows　you're　not　like　other　vampires。〃
