A/N: Here's the next chapter! Thank you to the people that read my fanfic! Hope you like this one! The OC in this chapter is mine and she is based on my Twilight loving best friends forever! This ones to you!
Last Time:
Just as I predicted, I tripped on the edge of the dress, and fell. I waited to feel my face smash against the carpet, but what I felt instead was to strong arms grasp my elbows and hear a familiar voice say,
"Jeez, Bells, even now you still fall on your knees when you see me!"
I sat across from him, frozen in shock.
"Jacob?" I breathed, not even daring to believe it.
He grinned the grin I love.
"Yes Bella, I'm real," He spread his muscular arms wide and wrapped them around me and kissed my hair.
"Now what would Edward think of that?" I questioned teasingly, leaning back from the hug as I surveyed him. He had grown another couple inches and his rock hard abs had become even more profound over the months we'd been apart. He noticed my gaze and chuckled.
"Yes Bella, what would Edward think of that?" he mocked. I could feel the blush creeping up to my cheeks.
"Just taking a mental picture to compare them to Edward's later tonight!" I snapped, but as soon as the words were out of my mouth, I regretted it. He looked at me, then looked away. There was an awkward silence.
"Jake?"
"What?"
I took a deep breath.
"Are you going to stay?" I asked carefully.
"For what?" I read his expression, he was genuinely confused.
"You know," I prompted.
"Oh" understanding washed over his face, "And watch you tie yourself to a bloodsucker like him," he balled his hands into fists to control his shaking body, "No way"
"Jake," I said, placing a hand on his arm. My touch soothed him and he calmed down.
I tried again.
"Jake, you don't have to watch, I just need you to be at least near me while I do this!"
He sighed and finally looked at me.
"Bella, I didn't come here to watch you marry the leech,"
I glared at him.
"Fine, Edward. But anyways, I came to tell you that…" he stopped and glanced at his feet.
"Tell me what?" I asked, my voice breaking slightly. I was getting worried now. I hated when he did this.
He took a deep breath.
"Bella, I imprinted."
My jaw dropped to the floor. I closed it and managed to find my voice.
"Yeah? Who's the lucky girl?" I asked, in a voice I hoped was cheerful. Jacob, my Jacob, sold to another girl.
"You've never met her," he said quietly.
Yeah, 'cause that information helps so much.
"The name?" I prompted.
"Emma, Emma Margaret-Anne London"
I swallowed.
"When can I meet her?" I asked, bending down to re-strap my shoes.
"Well, I kinda brought her," he said sheepishly.
I tried to hide my immediate hate for the girl.
"Oh, then you should introduce us," I said as nonchalantly as I could.
"Um, okay, but, please, no insults," he said.
"Why would I insult-?" My jaw dropped again as a girl stepped into the room.
It was a vampire.
I staggered backward, tripping and falling on my butt
"Bella?" Jacob's concerned voice rung out through the buzzing in my ears.
"You imprinted on a VAMPIRE?! And you gave ME hell on marring Edward?!" I screamed, outraged. After all this time, insulting me, jeering, whipping out and calling Edward names because he was a vampire…AND THEN HE IMPRINTS ON ONE!? I had every right to be angry, even if it wasn't only for that reason.
"Bella-" Jacob tried to cut me off.
"No, don't Bella me! I have a right to be angry!" I yelled, getting up and walking away.
"Bella, please,"
"No Jacob! I-" He covered my mouth with his hand.
"Mmf,"
Pleased to see I couldn't talk, he explained.
"Bells, Emma's n-" but he was cut off by Alice, and my other bridesmaids bursting through the door.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Rosalie, who looked stunning in her white satin strapless dress.
"That's what I would like to know," agreed Esme, who looked equally beautiful. Alice , who looked radiant, was glaring hard at Jacob.
"I think I know,"
she growled, taking a step forward to Jacob.
Jacob took a step
towards Alice in return.
"No, I don't think you really do, leech" he said, a dangerous tone to his voice.
Alice laughed and pointed to her perfect head.
"Yes, I think I do,"
I looked back and forth between them, scared at my two best friends.
"Guys?" I said, uncertain.
"Well, if you think you have any idea of what's going on, please, enlighten us," said Jacob, as though I hadn't even spoken. Alice glared at him but spoke, with such venom in her voice that I whimpered.
"Well, first off you're in Bella's change room, second, your trying to talk Bella out of marrying Edward,!" she snarled.
"JACOB!" I yelled. "We've gone through this countless times!"
Jacob narrowed his eyes at me.
"You idiot! I just told you that the reason I was hear was to introduce you to Emma!" He spat.
"You wouldn't catch me betting against Alice!"
Jacobs body was shaking was getting worse, another second and he was about to explode.
"Wait," a soft voice said. Even through the thundering of the arguing voices, everyone heard her.
"Jakes not trying to convince you to stay away from Edward, he is only here to introduce us, Bella," said Emma, shaking her shiny brown hair out of her face.
"Okay, I know that, but why does he insist on giving me hell on Edward and then imprints on you, who's a vampire as well!" I exploded beginning to pace.
"Bella, yes she's a vampire," said Jacob."
"Then WHY-"
He cut me off again.
"Because, I'm not against vampires, well, not since after what happened,"
He didn't need to say any more, I shuddered.
"But, I just don't like Edward for what he did to you in January,"
I groaned softly and gave him a hug.
"Oh, Jacob! You already knew why he did that, even I've gotten past that and I was the victim, why can't you?" I said, burying my face in his chest.
He gave me a grim smile; "I'll never forget how you came to me that day, paler than before, your hair was limp..." he trailed off.
"Yes, Jacob, we're all aware of what happened, but do you think you could find it in your heart to forgive him? For me?" I whispered, pulling away from him.
"Jake," it was Emma, "I've met Edward and he his is the most decent vampire I have ever met. If what he tells me is true, then you don't have to worry about Bella ever being hurt,"
I noticed Esme was right beside Emma and Alice was beside me. Rosalie had left the room after discovering nothing was wrong. While Esme and Emma wheeled Jacob into forgiveness, I whispered to Alice,
"Was that what you saw?"
"No, I saw Jacob turning into a wolf and attacking after you said you were still going to marry Edward," she said, her mouth a tight line.
"But that's not what happened," I argued.
"Yes, but it's like what I've said before, peoples reactions and what they do can change before it actually happens. My guess is that he decided he rather see you happy, then see you miserable…again"
"Do you see if he'll forgive him, even though there's not much to forgive," in my opinion, the argument was completely useless and was putting a damper on things.
Alice smiled.
"You'll just have to wait and see,"
"But-"
"Alright, I'll go and forgive him!" Jacob threw his hands in the air and stalked to Edwards change room.
A cheer went up. I smiled, thinking that this day's event had dramatically soared. I was pretty sure Edward didn't hate Jacob as much as he showed. Hopefully, they could become some what friends, but if that didn't work, then the fact that the issue was solved suited me just fine. The door opened again and Rosalie entered.
"Okay, why is Jacob out there talking to Edward without shouting and why are they shaking hands?" she asked, bewildered. The room burst into laughter. Just then, Jacob came back, a smile across his face.
"Well?" we all pounced for information.
"What happened between Edward and me"- It was the first time he had said his name with out disgust- "stays between me and Edward," we started to complain, "BUT, I will tell you there will be no more fights,"
That right there is on my top ten favourite moments.
A/N: Okay, chapter 2! Yay! Please tell me what you think and REVIEW, REVIEW AND REVIEW!! Oh, and if some of you hate Jacob, I'm sorry, but I like him and I don't think he deserves to be ignored, so there's what I want to happen with Jacob, but maybe not with a vampire. I also apologize if this chapter was a bit messed up, but I wanted to make it seem like the characters were confused, and REVIEW to tell me if I did the chapter justice.
