Chapter 23
Monster

Remember in Eclipse when she asks Jacob to kiss her? Well, this is at that point only if I would have written the story, this is how it would have gone.

"Hurry back," I whispered.

He kissed me lightly on the lips, and then disappeared into the forest with Seth at his side.

Jacob was standing in the shadow of the trees; I couldn't see his expression clearly.

"I'm in a hurry Bella. Why don't you just get it over with it." he said Jacob said in a raw voice.

I swallowed but my throat was dry and I couldn't make a sound come out of it.

"Just say the words Bella. Say it and be done with it."

"I'm sorry I'm such a rotten person, Jake. I'm sorry I've been so selfish. I wish I'd never met you so I wouldn't have been able to hurt you the way I have. I won't do it anymore, I promise. I'll stay far away from you . I'll move out of the state so you'll never have to see my face again."

"That's not much of an apology." he said bitterly.

"Tell me how to do it right then," I whispered.

"What if I don't want you to leave?" What if I rather you stayed, selfish or not?"

"That won't help anything Jake. It was wrong to stay with you when we wanted such different things. I'll just keep hurting you. I don't want to urt you anymore. I hate it." my voice broke.

He sighed. "Enough. Stop. You don't have to say anymore. I understand."

I wanted to tell him how much I'd miss him but I bit my tongue. That wouldn't help the situation, only make matters worse.

His head snapped up from staring at the ground. "Well you're not the only one capable of self-sacrifice. Two can play at that game." he said, his voice stronger.

"What?" I asked, completely lost to where this was leading to.

"I've behaved pretty badly myself and have made this much more harder then it needs to be for you."

"This is my fault."

"I won't let you claim all the blame here Bella, or the glory. I know how to redeem myself."

"What are you talking about?!" I demanded.

"There's a pretty big fight going on down there and I don't think it would be so hard to take myself out of the picture." he said, looking towards the battle field.

"Oh no Jake! Oh please no!" I begged in horror as I grasped at what he meant.

"This will only make it easier for everyone else. You won't even have to move."

"No!" I shouted. "No! I won't let you!"

"How will you stop me?" he taunted lightly, smiling just a bit.

"Jacob, I'm begging you! Stay!"

"For fifteen minutes while I miss a good brawl? So that you can just run away again once you think I'm safe? You've got to be kidding," he shook his head.

"I've changed my mind! I won't go. We'll work something out! There's always compromise." I begged, using Edward's words

"You're lying."

"I'm not. You know what a terrible liar I am. Look me in the eyes. I'll stay if you do."

His face hardened. "And can I be your best man at the wedding?"

It was a moment before I could speak. "Please." was all I could whisper.

"That's what I thought." his face going calm.

"I love you Bella," he murmured.

"Jacob…" I whispered, broken. "Please, stay.

He shook his head. "No, I'm going…but," he paused. "I could leave it to fate."

"What do you mean?" I choked out.

"I don't have anything to deliberate--I could just do my best for my pack and let what happens happen." he shrugged. "If you could convince me that you really did want me to come back--more then you wanted to do the selfless thing."

"How?" I asked.

"You could ask me," he suggested.

"Come back," I whispered.

He shook his head. "That's not what I'm talking about."

It took my a second to grasp at what he meant. I shook my head.

"Jake…I can't. I don't love you like you love me. I love you like a brother, not like I love Edward." I choked out. I-I…I'm sorry." I whispered in a broken voice.

His eyes got big with surprise, his mouth hanging open. He was silent for a long time. "I-Is that your final answer?" he whispered, surprised and shocked.

Clearly, he thought that I would ask him to kiss me by threatening me. But I knew better. He wouldn't just go out of Edward's way freely and let him have all the glory. I knew him better then that. That wasn't him.

"Yes."

He stammered awhile before coming out I with something coherent. He took a deep breath. "Some friend you are. You're going to let me die, just like that."

"Jacob. This is so…STUPID! You're going to kill yourself just because I won't let you kiss me?! Come on Jake! If you're really going to do that, you've got to be the biggest ass on earth! You're just going to give Edward a freebie?! Just like that?! You've got to be kidding!" I shouted, incredulous.

His eyes narrowed and a sly look came into his dark eyes. He started walking toward me, grinning slightly.

No.

"Jake," I said, backing away from his advancing footsteps. "What are you doing?"

He didn't say anything. Just kept walking toward me with that look on his face.

"Stop it, Jake. I mean it." I said in a serious tone.

Again, nothing. Soon he was in front of me, staring down at me with passionate eyes. He put on hand on my back and thrusted me forward so that we were as close as we could get.

"It's your face." I reminded him, scared half to death.

I didn't want this! This couldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening. I needed Edward right now more then ever. And I couldn't have him walk in on me like this. He'd think I was in love with Jacob, accept that, and move on with his life. And I don't think I'd survive this time…

"Jacob. Stop I-" but his mouth was on mine then.

I grabbed his face and tried to thrust it off of me but he would hold up. He had me arching backward, his arms straining me closer and closer, his arm going up the back of my shirt.

I tried kicking him but that just made my foot ache. I squirmed and scrambled but I couldn't move. I was stuck here against my will. I started to cry.

EPOV

I was sitting on the cliff edge, look out at the mountains, thinking to myself. Well, worrying more like it.

I was terrified of Bella's answer, of her choice. Though I'd be willing to accept her decision where it not me, I'd always love her and would always keep watch, waiting for that basturd to make the big enough mistake.

I heard a whine from behind me. I got up and turned around in less then a second, just a flash of movement. It was Seth. He had his head slumped low, his shoulders rolled forward.

I cocked my head to the side, wondering what the problem was. "What is it Seth?" I asked him.

I think Jacob and Bella are fighting. My body tensed. Doesn't sound to good…but I was already out of there, dashing through the forest as fast as I could. Why couldn't I go faster? I was annoyed at my speed right now, even though I was the fastest. Why couldn't we have the ability to just teleport? It would make life so much easier.

I bursted through the trees into the small opening on the cliff. If my heart would have been beating, it would have stopped.

I stopped dead, due to the fact at what I was seeing.

I was about to turn back and leave them to their business when I noticed Bella's body language. She wasn't bringing him towards her. She was trying to push him away. What really set me off is that Bella was crying.

I was confused until I read more into Jacob's thoughts. That's all I needed to burst in there and rip him off of her and throw him into the cliff. He hit the rock with a snapping sound, music to my ears, and fell to the ground, moaning slightly.

I was crouched in front of Bella, waiting for him to counter attack. My hands were up and ready to throw him into the wall again, my body tensed to go into a full death match if it were to end up that way. But all I'd have to do is bite him, and he'd be dead. Nasty taste in my mouth for maybe a week but as long as he was gone, I'd be happy to have the taste as a reminder.

But what confused me more is that Bella didn't stop me. She stood behind me, her body in a defensive position, her eyes red from crying and filled with fear, dread, and sorrow.

I was going to kill this mongrel.

"What did you think you were doing?" I growled at Jacob, who was staring at Bella like he was waiting for a response out of her.

He just looked at me and his eyes filled with rage and anger. My eyes narrowed.

I started moving forward slightly, ready to strike at any minute, but waiting for Bella to tell me to stop.

She didn't.

I flashed forward at him, my teeth bared. I grabbed his arms and pinned him around his back and kneeing him in the small of the back, making him fall down to the ground in pain.

"Ah!" he yelped in pain. I didn't care. "Bella! Tell him to stop!"

She stared at him with sad, angry eyes. She walked over to where we were and stood in front of Jacob, staring down at him. "No." she said in a soft voice, breaking a bit.

Both mine and Jacob's eyes went wide with surprise. "What?" we both asked, breathless, my grip tightening around his arms.

"Didn't Edward promise you last time that he'd break your jaw the next time you kissed me? And I remember you not asking." she growled at him, angry tears running down her cheeks.

So, this was all his idea. My grip tighten once again, causing him to wince. I glared down at him, ready to break his jaw, or anything else she wanted broken, on her command.

I locked both of his arms in one of mine and grabbed his chin with my right hand, looking up at her waiting for her command.

Jacob's eyes were wide, filled with fright and terror.

Bella looked at me, her eyes still sad but more anger in them now. She gave me a small nod then looked back down at him.

I simply twisted my fingers, and snap.

"OW DAMMIT!" he screamed, trying to break lose of my hold on him.

Bella winced a bit but regained herself in a second. She looked up at me a smiled.

"Can we go back home yet?" she whined, walking over to me and putting her hands around my neck. I dropped Jacob, who curled up and was rubbing his jaw.

I rolled my eyes and kissed her softly. "Not yet." I responded softly.

I swept her into my arms and carried her into the tent, where we would wait for the fight to end, and go home.

A/N: Ya I know, short. Well I did my best, and I know Bella isn't that cold, but I really couldn't fit Jacob getting his jaw broken in here without her permission so…ya. Well that's what I think should have happened, or similar. Anyway, thank for reading. Please review!
