Bella's POV
The cold lab table penetrated my skin through my clothing. Edward sat next to me staring at me. Mr. Farshner stood in the front of the chemistry class lecturing about God knows what. He had been lecturing for the past hour and had ceased to realize the class was not paying attention. I was quietly doodling on my sketch pad that had only been used for my amusement during classes. Edward on the other hand hadn't taken his eyes off of me. It was almost nerve-wracking for him to be staring so intensely at me. He had only returned a few months ago, but I tried not to think of those days. I mean he has promised me over and over that he would never leave me again. So I should believe him, right?
I could feel a set of eyes boring into my back so I turned and saw Jessica and Lauren sitting together, they were glaring at me as if I was a witch who had decided to turn them into toads. I smiled and waved a hand in a way that said 'hey I know you are staring so bug off.' They blushed simultaneously and looked away quickly. I giggled and turned around. Edward looked at me to see what I was laughing about but I shook my head and looked back at my sketch pad.
When lunch finally came around I grabbed my stuff and headed towards the door with Edwards fingers laced in mine. He led me towards the cafeteria and sat down at the normal table where Emmett and Rosalie were already sitting. Edward politly pulled out my chair for me and then moved to his seat between Emmett and me. As he was bending to sit, Emmett pulled the chair from underneath him with lightning fast speed. Before I could realize what had happened Emmett was on the floor in a heap and Edward was seated neatly in his own chair. Rosalie burst into a fit of giggles and then Edward let out a booming laugh while Emmett sat on the floor with a confused look on his face. I smiled and said "Edward that was a classic… well you know what I mean" he turned to me and smiled my favorite smile and said "thanks" he kissed me on the cheek and then turned back to Emmett on the floor. Emmett just smiled and grabbed Rosalie and pulled her onto his lap. This only caused and uproar from everyone including Jasper and Alice who had just walked up. "Emmett McCarty!!! You are so going to pay for that!" Emmett looked a as if he would cry and said "I am sorry baby" a sly smile grew on his face and he pressed his lips to Rosalie's Rosalie jumped in surprise but kissed him back. Jasper quickly said "Emmett and Rose… if you don't stop my head is going to blow!" They stopped and looked at each other and burst into laughter. They got up and sat back in their own chairs.
Rose, smiled sheepishly and said "sorry Jazzy" Jasper grimaced, he absolutely hated this new nickname Rose had created for him. My stomach growled loudly and Edward said "looks like its time to get some food for the human." Emmett chuckled and Edward got up and said "come on Bella." I stood and walked away with Edward noticing for the first time that the entire cafeteria was staring at our table I blushed a deep crimson. Edwards hand immediately cupped my face and he said "I love it when you do that" that made me blush even harder. Edward got my food and then carried it back to the table for me. I sat down and he handed me my slice of pizza and coke. I picked at my pizza eating the crust first and then eating the cheese off the top and then eating the bottom. I ate while Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Rose and Edward stared at me. I was a little self-conscious but I blew it off knowing they loved me.
We finished the school day and Edward and I headed to my house to finish up some homework. When we finally finished Edward sighed and looked at me. "Is it already that time?" I asked. He nodded and kissed me gently on the cheek and then disappeared. Within seconds I could hear tires screeching down the street and the purr of Edward's Volvo finally fading into nothing. I walked down stairs and began cooking dinner for Charlie and I. When I was almost done I heard Charlie's tires coming up the driveway. I quickly piled the food onto the plates and then set them on the table I sat in my chair just as Charlie walked in. He smiled and said "wow… I have you trained don't I?, I was thinking I think you deserve a break… from caring for me and al." I looked at him in confusion but he said "You just seemed stressed out. I think I can live on my own for a week or so if you don't cook for me every night" I nodded and said "okay… but is it because you don't like my cooking or something?" He shook his head violently and said "No… I love it its just that you need a break. It will give you more time… you could go down to La Push and visit Jacob." So that's what he was getting at he wanted me to go down and see Jacob. I nodded and said "dad, I am going to bed" with that I picked up my plate of untouched food and set it by the sink, he could take care of dishes tonight.
I went upstairs and immediately picked up my phone, Edward would be here soon and I didn't want him to hear what I was about to do. I dialed Jacob's number and waited listening to the rings. When Jacob answered he sounded out of breath but I ignored it and said "Hey, its Bella." "Hey Bells!!" He shouted into the phone. "I was wondering if I could come down to La Push tomorrow, do you mind?" "No, bells you can come down when ever you want!!" I sighed and said "cool I will be there around noon" "Can't you be here any earlier" he pleaded. "Jacob… don't push it" I warned. He said "Fine." I ended the conversation quickly and hung up, when I leaned back cold arms enveloped me and I leaned into them.
"Hey Edward" I said quietly afraid he would get upset. "Yes, Isabella?" "I am going down to La Push tomorrow, I hope you don't mind but I already made plans." His arms immediately unwrapped from around me and he moved so that he could face me. "Bella… I am going to respect your choice… but if anything happens to you while you are down there I will not be able to contain my temper." I nodded knowing he meant this. I also knew nothing would happen. Sure they were wolves but it would be fine.
If anything happened Jacob would protect me right? Edward and Jacob were at least civil to each other but I knew that could change quickly. That night I went to sleep in Edwards arms and dreamt quite vividly:
I was walking down the La Push beach and I could see a figure ahead. I continued walking thinking nothing of it. Soon I felt and hot hand in mine and turned to see Jacob next to me, I smiled and he smiled back the figure still loomed ahead. When we got close enough I could see that the figure was Edward, I let go of Jacobs hand and waved. Jacob growled and phased into a wolf quickly. Edward took a defensive crouch. My worst fears were coming true, the 2 most important people in my life were about to try and kill each other. I jumped in between them and screamed "STOP!!" My scream didn't carry though it sounded like only a whisper. Before I could say any more Edward and Jacob lunged at towards me but narrowly missed me crashing together in front of me. The collided with a huge crash.
The crash in my dream jolted me awake and I let out a stifled scream. I was panting and sweating hard.
