The end!

Jared woke up in a panic. Bella wasn't beside him. He searched the entire house but she was nowhere to be seen. He quickly raced outside and phased. He caught her scent quickly and followed it to the cliff. He froze when he saw her standing at the very edge. His heart was pounding but somehow he managed to find a way to move.

He phased back and not caring that he was naked he stepped up behind her. She jumped a little until she realised who was behind her. He gripped her tighter around the waist and moved her back a few steps, not wanting to even entertain the thought that entered his head.

"You weren't thinking of doing what I think you were thinking of doing were you?" he asked with a little fear.

Bella smiled and gripped his arms.

"No Jared I wasn't, I just wanted to see the sunrise".

Jared nodded not completely sure he believed her.

"I knew you would find me so I've been waiting for you" she explained.

"Oh you have, have you," he asked with a chuckle his heart calmed down.

She nodded and turned in his arms. Bella latched her lips onto his and moaned into his mouth, before pulling back.

"I want to jump Jared; I've seen you and the guys do it and I need to get over this fear of rushing water. I know I'll be safe with you here."

Jared sighed before looking down at the water. Sure he and his friends had done this many times but never with an imprint that feared large quantities of running water. He looked back at Bella and her eyes reminded him of a puppy dog's begging for food.

"Ok Bella," he said with a sigh.

She smiled and kissed him again before stepping closer to the edge. Jared followed and wrapped his arms again around her waist.

"Ready?" he asked.

Bella gulped bore gripping his neck with both hands and nodding. Jared wasted no time and jumped. Bella screamed the entire way down. She kept a tight grip on Jared fearing if she let him go she wouldn't make it.

Finally, they hit the water. They both breached the surface at the same time. Jared watched Bella carefully as she looked up from where they had jumped then back at him. He smiled at her. She had this adorable look of amazement on her face.

She soon started laughing as she swam up to him and kissed him. They eventually made it back to dry land and to his house. They both changed into dry clothes and sat on his sofa.

"I can't believe I just did that," she said laughing.

Jared said nothing he just smiled proudly at her.

They had spent the rest of the day in bed but now it was Monday again and Bella had to go back to school. Jared drove her that morning much to her annoyance. In the parking lot, Angela was waiting for her with a knowing smile.

Jared noticed several girls take notice of him and then do a double take when they saw who he was with. Quickly, Bella said goodbye before rushing to Angela but he wasn't having any of that. He rushed after her and stopped her with a kiss that left her breathless.

Soon, she found herself responding but then remembered where she was and stopped putting her head on his chest wishing the world would swallow her whole. He chuckled and lifted her head up to look at his.

"Sorry Bella, couldn't help myself," he said with the biggest grin on his face.

Bella wanted to be mad at him but she found herself smiling back. Angela cleared her throat and Bella quickly kissed Jared goodbye and went into school with her friend.

The rest of the day was filled with Bella trying to avoid questions about Jared. Well mainly from Mike, Eric, Jessica and Lauren. Angela's questions she was more than happy to answer when they were alone.

It was now lunch time and Bella was already starting to feel the loss of Jared when Edward came and sat down next to her smiling. Bella stared at him like he had lost his head.

"What the hell you doing?" she asked.

He shrugged, "Sitting, is that a crime?"

Bella cringed as his eyes raked her body. Before she could retort back Alice and the rest of the Cullen crowd joined them. Bella could see Angela watching close by anxiously.

"Edward what are you doing?" demanded Alice.

Edward stared at her coldly, "What do you think I'm doing Alice? I'm getting to know Bella, my one."

Bella felt a cold shudder rip through her body. She was about to lay into him about how she was so not his one when Emmett punched him angrily on the shoulder.

"She's not your one man. She belongs to the wolves. If she belong to you then the wolf wouldn't have ... what do they call it Bella?" he asked turning to her in the middle of his rant.

"Imprinting," she said.

"Right the wolf wouldn't have imprinted on her. Also, I can smell the wolf all over her she has made her choice you need to respect that."

Bella wanted to kiss Emmett. She always thought he was just a big lug head but he was actually really smart. Rosalie nodded whilst staring at her.

"Yes, Edward. Emmett is speaking the truth. Not one of her feelings for you is love or even like. She is slightly afraid of you," explained Jasper, whilst Bella looked quizzically at him. " I can sense emotions."

Bella nodded and then took a deep breath.

"They are right Edward. I won't go as far as to say that I despise you or anything but I definitely do not like you."

Edward shook his head, "No Bella! You are meant to be mine even before you were meant for me!"

Bella glared at him, "You mean before when you lied to my father and got him to agree to give me to you. Then having Jared falsely arrested for killing you. Tell me, did you kill him?" she asked unsure she wanted to know the answer.

Edward shook his head looking horrified, "No I didn't it was another vampire I ...….." he couldn't finish.

"You what Edward tell me" she demanded.

Edward looked away. With a scowl, Rosalie spoke for the first time since they all sat down.

"He didn't help him. Edward found out about your plan to escape and leave together. So when the vampire attacked Jared he did nothing. He just sat and watched happily. The fool actually thought that with Jared gone you would agree to be with him."

Bella couldn't believe how cold he could be. She knew he was a vampire but he was supposed to respect human life.

"How could you? You claimed to love me even then yet you would let me experience such pain, you would leave me half dead. I didn't move, eat or sleep for days after his death until I finally took my own life. I chose to kill myself rather than live without him. How could you be so cold? You wonder why I don't want to be with you. If it had been the other way round Jared would have tried to help you, if he knew how much you meant to me, he would have tried to help."

Bella got up and stormed off Angela quickly followed. She found Bella making her way to the parking lot. As both girls emerged through the front doors they heard tyres squeal. Jared rushed out of the car and rushed to the already running Bella. She launched herself at him wrapping herself around him completely. She kissed him as if she needed his very lips to bring her back to life.

"What happened?" he asked worriedly once she finally pulled her mouth away. "I felt something was wrong. Something was making you feel scared and then angry."

She shook her head and kissed him again.

"I love you, Jared, I love you so much. I never want to be apart from you. For the rest of my life, I'm gonna show you just how much I love you" she said kissing every inch of his face.

Jared was confused at first until he smelt the leeches on her and figured fuckwad tried to get to her again.

"Bella what did that jerk do?" he asked.

"He let you get killed" she whispered.

"What do you mean?" he asked confused.

"In the past, when you were escaping, he saw a vampire attack you and did nothing to help. All he thought was 'now Bella will be mine'. Even the other Cullen's are telling him to back off" she explained.

"Bella it's ok. It will be ok," he soothed as she started crying.

He looked at Angela who smiled and said, "I'll tell them she wasn't feeling too good."

Jared smiled at her and nodded. He drove Bella back to his house and carried her inside. He headed straight for his room. He laid on top of her when he paused and looked down at her. "Bella, I have loved you for 1000 years and will continue to do so. Nothing you will do or say will change that. You are my life, my heart and my soul. One day you will be my wife and I will spend the rest of this life and the next loving you completely."

Bella's eyes started to tear up as she reached a hand up to first touch his face and then pulled him down for a kiss. She hoped that the kiss told him of her feelings for him.

"I want you to mark me, Jared, claim me as yours," she told him.

Jared's wide eyes and wide smile made Bella laugh. Soon he stopped her laughter with a deep passionate kiss. She moaned into the kiss and started to pull at his clothes. Jared moved off and quickly rid himself of what little clothes he had on and then helped Bella with hers.

He rubbed in between her legs and moaned at how wet she was.

"Jared! please, I need you now," she begged.

"Fuck!" he called out as he grappled for a condom before sliding it on and thrusting inside her.

They set a frantic rhythm as if they feared the other would disappear. Bella gripped his hips urging him to move faster which he complied. It wasn't long before they were both reaching their limits.

"Bella. I'm ..." he started.

"Me too, do it now!" she ordered.

When their release rocketed through them, Jared lowered his head to her outstretched neck and claimed her. The sting and pleasure of the bite sent another orgasm through her and she saw stars.

Jared had enough sense to move off of her and pull off the condom. He threw it in the bin before wrapping Bella in his arms and kissing the top of her head. They both sighed happily and slept soundly.

---

Several years later, Bella stood in front of the mirror and gazed happily at her reflection. The simple white dress glinted in the light and she sighed. Her father walked in and started to tear up. Today she and Jared were going to get married.

Edward was sent away not long after she mated as he hadn't taken the news well. Bella was grateful that the rest of the Cullens were on her side.

Charlie found out about the wolves when he started to date Sue Clearwater and Seth anciently shifted in the back garden without knowing he was there. They had waited until after Bella graduated from college. She and Angela had gone to college in Port Royal to be teachers. It meant they could still be close enough to stay at home near their mates.

Angela had mated Jake a few months later and were having their own wedding in a few months too. Charlie offered Bella his arm and walked out into the back garden of her home with Jared. A small ceremony had been planned and it was simple and elegant.

They said their vows and everyone cheered as they kissed. Then the party really started. It lasted long into the night. Bella sighed happily as she watched their family and friends.

"This is perfect," Jared said with a similar sigh. "I doubt it could get better than this."

"Are you sure about that?" Bella asked.

He gave her a quizzical look which turned into shock when she moved his hand down to her stomach and left it there.

"Are you serious?"

Bella nodded and smiled happily up at him.

"Now my life is complete!"
