I sat in my truck and saw Jacob come out to greet me. "Hey everything okay?" Jacob asked and I just sighed and gave him a tight hug. His arms automatically wrapped around me patting my back. Tears immediately ran down my cheeks landing on his shirt. "They said he was in the woods with Harry and a bear attacked him.. I know that isn't a bear Jacob" I said sobbing uncontrollably.
"Oh, It was Charlie who got killed? Sam said it was one of the guy with Harry but I didn't know… Bella, I'm so sorry" He replied hugging me even tighter. I shook my head and pulled back to look at him. He looked just as torn as I do except He didn't look like a crying mess like I do. "Come inside, I'm sure this has been hard on Billy as well." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder walking slowly to his house.
"Bella, I just want you to know that you can stay over if you ever need to." Billy said gently to me. I just sat down on the couch and stare at my hands. I felt the couch moved and Jacob wrapped his arm around my shoulder. My heart thought it can handle enough pain of Edward's absence but the death of Charlie made the pain unbearable.
I stood up immediately. "Bella?" Jake asked and I looked at him. "You know, I really want to go home I need to call Renee…She said she was going to call me tonight. I must tell her" I said my voice cracked and I just left the door without another word. "Then let me drive you home at least…" Jacob insisted as he shut the door of his house.
"Fine" I said and handed him the keys before climbing in the passenger side. The drive home was dead silent and there's nothing to say anyways. Once we arrived home I look at Jake for the first time since the drive home.
"Thanks Jacob, just kill whoever did this to my father" I said wiping the fresh tears that had escaped my eyes. " Bella, you do know it wasn't one of my kind.." Jacob said looking at me. "Victoria" I said above a whisper. He nodded and I bit my bottom lip.
"Bella, it seems like you've been through a lot but I promise that it will get better. You just got to keep fighting through this and it will get better." He said and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I nodded and got out of my truck and He immediately yanked my arm pulling me back. "What the-" I said before He shushed me. "There's a vampire here… I can smell it. We have to go Bella" He said and I was walking with him before I saw a familiar car.
"That's Carlisle's car! They're back." I exclaimed. "Bella it could be a trap" Jacob said looking at the car before he looks at my truck. "No, it's his car I know it." I said defensively. "If they're back this is their territory…I can't protect you here." He said seriously to me. "I know and it's fine" I said. "You're about to cross a line" He said angrily.
"Then don't make one, please" I begged and walked to my house. He ran off without saying another word. I open the door and turn on the light. There was a note on the fridge and one on the counter. I took the fridge note first and read it:
"Dear Bells, I'm going to be out with Harry and I'll be coming home later than usual. I just want you to stay here and don't go anywhere near the woods. Love ya kid. –Dad" I covered my mouth and the tears start coming down and I put the note in my back pocket before taking the note on the counter.
"Dear Isabella, Come upstairs and retrieve what you love so much before I end it. You have 5 minutes. –V" I ran upstairs not understanding what she wrote. "What do you mean retrieve what I love?" I asked going upstairs and opening the door to my room. "You should know what I'm talking about" She grinned sadistically and I saw what she meant and I screamed.
(A/N: I wanted to make the first chapter short but with a cliff hanger so that you guys would be eager for chapter 2. All kind of reviews are welcome. Thank you for reading!)
