Background info:
This is set in New moon (its my version)
~Bella goes to confront Jake after he's been avoiding her.
Its been two weeks since HE has left me. Ever since I pulled up to Jacobs house to have him help me fix the bikes, its been like I could breathe. He's helped me get over Him. I feel like the hole in my heart is practically gone when im with Jake.
But its also been a week since Jake has been avoiding me. Every time I call his house, Billy picks up and says he's out or sleeping and he will tell Jake I called. I feel as if I want to cry in the corner. I thought about the last time I saw him.
-FLASHBACK:-
We went to go see Face Punch with Mike.
Mike was in the bathroom throwing up, while Jacob and I waited for him.
Jake grabbed my hand, and I felt my heart flutter. It felt so good, yet I was scared. I pulled away and I saw a flash of hurt on Jacobs face. I sat on the stairs and looked away from his gaze.
"What? I cant hold your hand?" he asked offended.
I looked up at him briefly and then back down. "No, Of course you can, its just…"
I trailed off. Truthfully I was scared. I loved Jacob, but I didn't want to ruin what we had. He was my savior, my light and shining armor. I couldn't loose him. If I was to mess things up, or if I wasn't what he thought I would be, I think I would just die.
I could feel Jakes stare boar into me.
He sat down on the stair, so close we were practically touching shoulders.
"Bella, I know what he did to you."
I bit my lip and looked the opposite way. The pain in my heart and the flashback in my mind made me want to cry.
Edward Cullen left me. Left me like I was nothing to him. Like I was an outcast.
The tears began to well up in my eyes and I bit my lip, trying to stop them from falling.
It was sad because I knew I was never good for him. I couldn't understand why a person like Edward Cullen would like me. But I went with it anyways, and I regret it. I regret not backing away and telling him to stay away. I regret how I wanted to go with him. But most of all I regret crying and getting all depressed about him.
"But I would never do that to you Bells." Jake said softly.
I looked at him for a second and then settled my eyes on his hands.
His elbows were on his knees and his hands were entwined with each other, just sitting there.
"Jake." I whispered looking at him.
"Why are you doing this?" I whined pathetically.
He looked at me hurt.
"We have something Jake. Something no one can break or beat. And if we were to go further…I-…"
I looked at Jake to see him waiting for me to continue. I tried to come up with words, but I couldn't find any to explain myself.
"I need you Jake. I need you more than you know. And I don't want to mess this up, because you are the only thing that is keeping me from losing myself." I whispered.
He sighed and his expression softened.
"Im right here Bells, Im not going anywhere." He said determined.
I looked up at him doubtfully.
"I promise Bells. I promise that I will always be here for you Bells. I will be there to pick you up when you're down, and be there in good times and the bad. I will never leave you."
I winced at his choice of words. Edward said something like that to me once and look how that turned out. He must have seen it because he spoke up.
"I know Cullen probably said something like that Bells, but I mean it."
I looked at him, and saw Love and Determination written all over his face. I gave him a small smile and laid my head on his shoulder. I could feel him wrap a strong arm around me and hug me tight.
He moved his head a little and felt the heavy silence. I took my head off his shoulder and he looked at me. He moved his head closer, and just as our lips were about to touch…
Mike comes.
"I think I need to go home." He said looking a little green
I quickly moved away from Jake, startled.
I quickly grabbed my jacket, a little frazzled about what just happened, and then got off the stairs.
Jake just sat there. I noticed the veins in his arms were popping through.
"I must have caught the flu from Angela so I think I better go home. I mean im sick-…" mike rambled.
Jake quickly stood up. "Did you want us to take you to the hospital, cause if you'd like I can put you there." He said stepping closer to Mike. I could see Jake was furious, and his tone was fuming.
"Jake!" I yelled trying to separating him.
He looked at me and then softened. I went to him and hugged him. I laid my head on his chest and listened to the beat of his heart. It was going to fast. I ran my hands up and down his arms and felt the hot skin. I pulled away and saw his eyes snap open.
"Jake, you're burning hot! Are you ok?" I asked worried.
He swallowed hard. "yea, I am just feeling kind of funny. I need to go."
He said and ran out the door.
"Jake!" I yelled. I was about to run after him when Mike stopped me.
"Can you drive me home Bells?' he asked.
I felt furious at the moment. I just wanted to punch Mike right then. Not only did he stop me from going after Jake, but he called me 'Bells.'
Only Jake and my dad can call me that.
I quickly tore my arm away from his, backed away, and ran after Jake.
When I opened the double doors of the theater and ran out to the sidewalk, he was no where in sight.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
So here I am, standing in my room, thinking about Jake. Thinking about what could've happened to him. I shook my head and felt determination run through me. I quickly flew down the stairs, grabbed my keys and headed to my truck in the pouring rain. I didn't even think about grabbing a jacket or rain boots, I just thought about seeing Jake.
I needed to see him. I needed to know he was ok.
I double punched the clutch and was off to the Black house.
