Chapter 1
Jacob's New Girl
Jacob had his arm around Kiley, and he was smiling.
She sure does look cozy, I fumed.
"Bella, are you okay?" Edward Cullen asked anxiously.
"I fine," I lied. I was so bad at lying, everyone could tell.
"Really, then why are you staring at Kiley and Jacob?" he raised an eyebrow.
Because she and him were driving me crazy, Edward, I wanted to yell. How could he still not know that I loved him and not Edward? I mean, sure, Edward's nice looking and very sweet, but my heart was stolen a long time ago.
When Edward had left, I quickly fell in love with Jacob Black. He was someone I could naturally be around, and not have to lie to. My spirits always lifted when he was around. When I stupidly cliff dived, Alice Cullen saw me jump. She had told Edward, and he went and ran off to the Volturi, the closet thing his kind had to royalty. They decided the rules. If he had done anything to provoke the Volturi, we'd all be finished. After Alice and I raced to his rescue, Edward said he was coming back and that he'd never leave me again. Of course I had to play along, I owed him that much. I didn't have the heart to tell him I loved someone else. The pain in his eyes when he mentioned he would leave if I loved another. I just couldn't do it. I love Edward, just not the way before. I thought I couldn't live without him, but the truth is, I got over him.
So here I am, lying to Edward that I love him. I wonder how he can't see this lie.
"Kiley and Jacob bother me," I said truthfully. "They just keep coming over to me and being all like, 'Bella, isn't it great? Bella, don't you love us? Bella blah,blah,blah' and it goes on and on and on!"
Edward chuckled. "You're feeling emotional today," he breathed.
He slowly leaned towards me.
I can't keep kissing him! This has got to stop, I decided.
"Edward," I said. "I have to tell you something."
