FAN FICTION
It had been a really long weekend. Edward was out hunting with his family for the whole entire weekend. So I had to stay home. My weekend consisted mostly of studying, rereading my favorite passages of "Wuthering Heights", and cooking dinner for Charlie who spent nearly all of his time watching baseball in front of the flat screen.
Jacob had still not returned any calls. I knew that his phone wasn't broken. Ever since Edward and I announced our engagement, and his plans to change me. It made Jacob sick. Things have been incredibly awkward ever since he professed his feelings for me. The Cullens have had a life long rivalry with the werewolves. But Edward still hated seeing me get so upset when Jacob never returned my calls. I had made my decision, and it was not him. He hated me for it, he hated the fact that I had an undying love for Edward that nothing could change. I knew what I wanted.
Charlie made a few awkward attempts to make small dinner time talk. He constantly inquired about what was going on with Jacob. I knew that he hated the fact that I spent nearly all of my time with Edward as opposed to Jacob. That subject was like the giant elephant in the room that we both avoided at all costs. He brought up everything besides Edward and Jacob. Our subjects varied from the weather, or the score of the Mariner's game. Each conversation fell flat and eventually led to a long awkward silence. Charlie finished his dinner, and as usual went to go sit down in front of the flat screen.
Edward was coming home that night. I looked at the clock every five minutes. Time always went by so slowly whenever he wasn't around. I lost track of time as I sat silently. The doorbell rang. I jumped up from my seat and sprinted to the door. I opened the door and instantly looked at his dazzling eyes and amazing body. He had a warm smile break across his face. I twisted my fingers into his and he came inside my house. Charlie was asleep watching TV, completely oblivious to Edward's arrival. "How was hunting? I asked "It was alright, I missed you." "Shall we?" I said as I motioned upstairs. We went upstairs into my bedroom and he saw my copy of "Wuthering Heights" and chuckled. He found it amusing that I had such a deep love for that book. He laid so on my bed, and I cuddled up next to him. My fingers were tracing up and down his chest, deeply enjoying his sweet scent. Edwards phone then vibrated and light up. It was Emmett. Edwards smile rapidly drained from his face. Something was wrong. "How are we going to hide this from the Volturi" grumbled Edward. I heard a lot of words on the other ends of the line, "Alright, you talk to Carlisle and see what he is going to do. We have to expose him to the Volturi, to prevent our whole family from being killed." Edward then hung up the phone. I didn't even have to ask what the phone call was about, Edward could tell that I was going to ask the question.
"Jasper had a serious lapse in control" Edward said with a concerned look in his eyes. " He let his thirst get the best of him and he killed someone. I would like to think that it was a total accident. Emmett said that he was with Jasper when it happened. They were walking in Seattle, and they smelled blood because someone was bleeding to death, and Jasper couldn't handle it. Emmett tried everything in his power to hold Jasper back, but failed. Before he knew it, Jasper had already sunk his teeth into the neck of the poor person. I feel so bad that Emmett has to be the one to tell Carlisle about this. This will destroy Carlisle. Bella, this is what I am. A monster. That is why I left you when I did because I knew that just because I have strong self control, does not mean that the others do. And I would rather die than hurt you or put you in danger.' "Edward", I replied " I'm scared, because Jasper did this, does this mean that the Volturi are going to punish all of you?." "No," replied Edward ," They would only punish us if we kept this a secret from them or if the rest of us lost control and started killing inconspicuously. As painful as it is going to be for all of us, we are going to have to expose Jasper to the Volturi to keep our clan safe. " I had a worried and puzzled look in my eye. "But if you approach the volturi, they could see that I am still human." "Bella," Edward replied soothingly, "My brother just broke the rules of our clan by committing one of the biggest mistakes that a vampire can make. Our goal is to remain secret and to not draw attention to ourselves. What Jasper did was very stupid, and I highly doubt that the Volturi will be focusing on the fact that your still human, rather than on Jasper." I snuggled in close to Edward, "I'm just scared" I sad. "I know you are, and I will never let anything happen to you." Replied Edward in a soothing voice. I could sense the fear and anxiety radiating from the sound of his voice. Something had to be done.
