No. No, no, no, no, no. Edward Cullen? No! I had to call Jacob, I had to figure out what was going on, I had to-
"Bella" Edward spoke, looking into my horror struck eyes and breaking my jumbled thoughts.
I swallowed hard. "Edward" i managed to barely choke out. He started to say something else but i needed Jacob now. I nearly ran away from him and scooped up the cell phone off my night stand. I dialed Jake's number as fast as I could and prayed that he kept his promise about having his phone with him.
I knew he had to phase back so I didn't expect him to pick up very quick. But to my suprise he picked up halfway through the first ring.
"Bella?" he sounded half-alarmed. "Bells, are you okay? Why aren't you in bed? It's like 11:00."
I took a deep breath. "Jacob." Even to me my whisper sounded pained.
"Bella! what's wrong?" he asked more anxiously.
I spoke a little better this time. "I need you."
"Right now?"
"Yes."
"Why? Bells, I'm at Emily's right now, we're getting ready to go-"
"Jacob, I need you." I repeated.
"Ok." he agreed. I heard Jacob saying to the others that he had to miss tonight. I heard groans and 'Jake!'s but he said to me he'll be there in 5 minutes. No werewolf could refuse the one they imprinted upon.
I hit end woodenly. The i turned to face Edward again. He was looking at me half confused, half pained.
"What was that?" he asked
"Nothing." i whispered.
"Bella, I-" he seemed to be trying to find the right words. "I came back" he finished lamely.
my breath trembled. I glared at him now. He looked pained. Good.
"So it would seem." I said grumpily.
"Bella, I'm sorry. I only left for you, because i wanted you to be safe, because i didn't think being with vampires would be good for you but..." he struggled "I missed you."
"Get out." i growled.
I was mad. I had this perfectly great life with Jake and now EDWARD CULLEN was here. I knew i had at least a good 2 more minutes till jacob came to my rescue. I hoped he would kiss me in front of Edward. He deserved it. I knew I wouldn't be thinking of this 6 months ago but, when you've been imprinted on, it's like you've found your other half. As though there is nobody else in the whole wide world that you want. You only want- or in my case- you only want Jacob, like he belongs to you.
When Jake imprinted on me it was 2 weeks after he had first phased. I went to his house, demanding what his problem was for avoiding me, but the second he looked into my eyes he told me everything. And i do mean everything. Then his eyes bulged wide and he groaned,
"Aw, crap." He took me by the hand and went back to his brothers. He told them what he think had happened. And I have to say they were pretty pissed. Paul actually, well, phased right there and Sam had to phase too, just to get him calmed down. That was when Sam and Jacob became the 'imprinters' as the pack calls them. Emily and I used to find that annoying, but not so much anymore. We've gotten used to it. And because of the 'imprinters' Emily and I have become best friends.
Edward looked at me like he was expecting me to be grumpy but not this mad.
"I came to beg your forgiveness." he tried to convince me to let him talk.
"You have 90 seconds." i said through my teeth. He looked surprised again but he made good use of his now 89 second time.
"I'm sorry. So sorry. I never wanted to leave you. I know I must have hurt you but-"
I cut him off. "I'm perfectly happy right now thanks."
His eyes tightened. "Ok then. Please, please. Even after I left you, hurt you, would it be possible to still love me? And I'm-" he cut off mid-sentence and tilted his head towards the road.
I smiled smugly. That would be Jacob.
JPOV:
Vampire! I could smell it, i was only about 1/2 a mile away from Bella's house now. that's why she called me. I pushed the gas pedal farther down. Nobody's giving me a ticket at eleven at night for speeding, i thought. I pulled up to her house 30 seconds later and the stench was overwelming. but Bella had said she needed me. I had to go in there. Her room light was on so, obviously, that was where she was.
I got out of my Rabbit and silently snuck in the front door. Whenever I didn't have to run patrol I would spend the night here. I nearly ran up to Bella's room and when i came through the door she ran to me so fast I would've thought she were a werewolf. I opened my arms the exact same moment she ran into them. We had the move simultaneously perfect.
That's when I saw him.I knew him the second i looked at his face. Edward Cullen. that dumbass who broke Bella's heart. I growled. he growled right back. I took Bella and swung her onto my back in case i had to run. She locked her arms around my neck and whispered in my ear,
"Help."
"Get out," i snarled at him. he glared at me.
"I'll kill you." i threatened. he chuckled darkly. I growled in disgust. I could kill him if i wanted to.
"I did just come here to see Bella," he explained. "But i see this may not be a good time."
"Stay away from here-- from her."
"Fine." he agreed curtly. He obviously didn't mean it.
"She is mine." i growled.
He laughed again and left, using the window. I stood there for a very long time. After a few minutes Bella put her head on my shoulder. I was going to let her down but i couldn't move.
"Bella, are you okay?" i asked after about 10 minutes standing there frozen.
"Yes." she replied almost silently. I looked at her, wondering what the quietness was about. Her head was turned away from me but when she looked at me it look like she was going to pass out any second. I walked over to the bed, gently pulled her off my back and set her on my lap. She leaned her head against my chest and put her arm around my neck, like a hug. She closed her eyes tiredly and yawned.
"Jake?" she asked real quiet, quieter than whispering. "Will you stay tonight?"
"Of course." I promised. She smiled faintly with her eyes still closed. I laid my cheek against the top of her head.
I was thinking. Why was he here, he obviously didn't just want to see Bella, he had a reason. And were the rest of them back? I would have to warn Sam tomorrow. And Bella was mine. Forever. She was here, sitting on my lap. And she didn't need that traitor. she wouldn't go back to him. No! Of course not. She was with me. She'd told me she loved me at least a thousand times. no. She couldn't-- wouldn't leave me. It wasn't even necessary to ask. I mean, I imprinted on her!
I sighed "Are you ready for bed?" I asked her after a few minutes of more quietness. No answer. I looked down to see she was asleep on my lap, with one arm still around my neck, needing me. I smiled. Then I gently moved her arm and set her down on the bed. I laid down beside her.
I didn't need sleep as much as her because i was used to about 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night. But usually if i spent the night here I could sleep, which was a good thing. I almost always woke up before her.
Might as well get some sleep. I thought, closing my eyes. Then there was that stench again. My eyes flashed open, looking towards the window reflexevly. Edward was looking in the window. He gestured with one finger that I should come over there. I got up looked at Bella once, debating if i should take her too but Edward shook his head. I went to the window and Edward looked furious.
ok, im sorry this chapter was kinda boring but they couldn't fight in Bella's room, i mean what about Charlie? So instead the next chapter is going to be actiony, ok!
as always pleezy squeezy review!
