BPOV

According to Edward, Bill, and Jake I wasn't allowed out of the house without supervision. During the day Jake would watch me, and the Cullen's would keep an eye on me at night. I hate being babysat.

"Hurry up Bella!" Sookie yelled from the bottom of the staircase. "Our shifts start in twenty minutes!"

I rolled my eyes. "Just give me a second." I quickly pulled my hair into a ponytail. My eyes landed on the bite marks on my neck. "Hey Sook? Do you have a scarf I can borrow? I left mine at Sam's yesterday."

"Yeah it's tied to my headboard. Bill and I were-"

"Ok I don't need to hear anymore!" I yelled. I went to her room and quickly untied the scarf from the bed. I bounced down the stairs and almost ran into Jacob.

"Are you really gonna hang out at Merlotte's all day?" I asked.

"Your shift ends at six right? That's only like what seven hours?" Jake said.

"Nothing ever happens at Merlotte's," I warned.

"Eh. I'll find something to do."

Sookie honked her car horn impatiently, and I rolled my eyes. "We better go,"

I was about to leave Merlotte's when the phone rang. "Merlotte's?" I muttered into the phone.

"Oh Bella! Thank God. Will you do me a huge favor? Will you cover my shift for me? Coby's sick and-"

"Ok, Arlene," I said.

"Thank you Bella! you have no idea how grateful I am-Coby stop it! I gotta go. Thank you!"

"Great," I whispered to myself.

"Ready to go?" Sookie asked, walking towards me.

"Yeah about that," I started. "Arlene called and Coby's sick so she asked me to cover her shift,"

Sookie rolled her eyes. "There's no way I'm going to let you stay here that long. I'll cover for Arlene."

"No! Don't you have a date with Bill tonight?"

"Bill will understand,"

"It's not like I'll be alone. Half the town will be here and Eric will probably come," I said.

"That's the point," Sookie whispered harshly.

"Oh, so now you're trying to keep me away from Eric?" I asked. "Well fine! Stay here. I'll go," I turned around and stormed out of Merlotte's.

I was halfway to Sookie's car when I realized that I had no way to get home. "Dammit." I turned around to go back inside when a car horn honked. Ginger sat in one of Eric's car waving at me. I walked over to the passenger side and she rolled down the window. "Eric told me to come pick you up after your shift ended."

I glanced back towards Merlotte's. Jacob was walking towards us with a scowl on his face; he knew what was going on and he was going to try to stop me from going to Fangtasia.

"Drive. Now." I snapped, sliding into the car.

"Who's that? He's cute." Ginger said, ignoring me. "You know him?"

"Yes. and I'll introduce you-better yet I'll give you his number if you start driving!" she quickly complied.

Not five minutes later my phone started ringing. The first call was from Sookie. Then Jacob, Bill, Edward, Alice, Sookie, Bill, Edward, Edward, edward, and Jacob. I groaned and shut my phone off.

"Someone's Miss Popular today," Ginger murmured, pulling into the Fangtasia parking lot.

"You have no idea," I muttered, climbing out of the car. Nobody else was here. I can't believe Edward or Jacob hadn't beaten us here. I know they followed. Even without Alice's visions they knew where I was going without a doubt.

Ginger quickly unlocked the door and I stepped inside. She quickly locked the doors behind us.

"So, um, you could wait in here, or downstairs, or-"

"I'll wait in Eric's office. Thanks Ginger." I turned towards the office. "When's sunset?"

"Eric and Pam will be up in fifteen minutes. I'm leaving as soon as they do,"

I sat down behind Eric's desk and waited. I started thinking about the Cullens and Victoria. Why did she wait so long to come after me? It's been almost five years since the Cullens killed James. Why now?

"Get out of my chair," Eric growled playfully. I jumped; I hadn't realized he had come in.

"Make me,"

Eric was standing over me before I could blink. He bent down so he were eye to eye. "Move,"

"No,"

Eric growled again before picking me up and kissed me.

"Dammit," I muttered when I realized that I was sitting in his lap and not the chair.

Eric grinned. "So is the cavalry coming?"

"Probably. They'll barely let me out of the house after yesterday"

"Something about Cullen?" Eric asked, his eyes darkened.

"Kinda of. Wait nobody told you?" Eric shook his head. "Well you know that vampire that tried to kill me a few years ago? Well his mate is pissed and she wants to kill me."

"Give me your phone," Eric growled.

"Why?"

"I'm calling Cullen,"

I handed him my phone. Eric turned it on and quickly found Edward's number.

"Why the hell did you not tell me?-I don't care what you think's best for her-what-you sparkle!-no she's staying with me-no!-I don't care!" Eric slammed my phone against the table, breaking it.

"You owe me a new phone," I whispered.

Twenty minutes later Edward, Jacob, and Bill burst through the door.

"Let's go Bella. We're leaving," Bill said. Eric held on to me.

"If she wants to stay then she can stay," Eric snapped.

"If she stays then we all do," Edward said.

Eric glared at him. "Fine by me,"

The three of them stood there staring at Eric and me. I started to get up, but Eric held me in place. The silence was broken when Jake's phone started ringing.

"Aren't you going to answered it?" Eric asked smirking.

Jacob begrudgingly answered the phone. "Hello?-Yeah. Who's this? Ginger. How'd you get this number?" Jacob glared at me. "Bella!"

I buried my face in Eric's shirt and laughed.

I know this took a long time and I'm so sorry, but here it is. So…whatcha think? Review

*Thanks*
