Chapter 1: Hysterics

Edward stood there seething, but only for a brief moment. He then became hysterical. A very strange laughed erupted from his lips. "Ha ha ha ha! I…can't…believe" he sputtered in between laughs. "What?" Bella shouted angrily. Edward continued to laugh as Jennifer stomped out of the room. Jacob followed after her, trying to apologize…or just get away from the awkward scene in the kitchen.

After another moment, Edward finally stopped laughing and looked at Bella calmly. "What I was trying to say, love, is that I can't believe you would kiss Jacob…of all people". "What is that supposed to mean?" Bella scowled. "You haven't touched me in months! He at least seems to be attracted to me…unlike my darling husband, who has suddenly gotten a case of…I don't know what!" Bella huffed as he stood there, just looking at her. "Wipe that damn smirk off your face, Edward!" He just snorted and left her standing there, alone in the kitchen.

Edward calmly walked to the front door and opened it for their guests, who seemed to be too angry with one another to look at each other, let alone speak. "Thank you for having me over, Edward" Jennifer cooed. He just smiled at her and kissed her cheek. Jacob only nodded as he passed Edward and walked through the door. Bella watched them through her bedroom window.

As Jacob was getting into the driver's side of his Mustang, he looked up and saw her watching him. He mouthed a 'sorry' at her and she nodded her head, mouthing a 'call me'. Checking to see that the front door was already closed, he looked back up and gave her a dazzling smile before ducking into the car. Jennifer had her arms folded across her chest in the passenger's side, and a scowl firmly planted on her face. Their drive home was filled with silence until they reached their driveway. That is when Jennifer lit into her husband. Jacob just sat there and took it. He didn't care anymore; he just wanted to call Bella.
