Chapter 3! So far the longest chapter I have written! I have just gone back to school this past week, so will no doubt be loaded with homework next week, meaning I wont be able to update as frequently. I hope you enjoy this chapter for now!
JakePOV
"How dare you!" Bella immediately started on me, and I couldn't help but cringe away from her. In that moment, I could see in her eyes the true power she withheld. It was clear that nothing would be able to stop her if that power was released, and right now, I didn't want that to happen. Edward continued to stare at me with a fire in his eyes similar to that of Bella's. The rest of the leeches had heard her shouting at me, and were in the room in a flash.
The blonde Barbie, who had always hated me for stealing Nessie from her steely, manicured clutches, decided to drag herself into the mess, "What's going on here? If you hurt anyone, dog..."
"He didn't hurt anyone Rose. He simply took advantage of my daughter's respect for him, and bent it to his own will," Edward spoke up, finally. I couldn't help but feel the utmost hate for him at that moment.
WHAT, LIKE WHEN YOU USED BELLA FOR YOU OWN SICK PLEASURES? I screamed at him in my thoughts. His head whipped round to me when he heard that, and I could see the remnants of the burning man, who had been smouldering for years, blaze in his eyes again briefly, only to disappear when he looked away.
"You did what! Did you have any idea how her parents would feel?" Rosalie sneered, her nose wrinkling as she came closer to me.
I hated to admit it, but Barbie was right. However, I didn't want to appear weak in front of her.
"You know what? You've always smelt the worst, in my opinion. Must be all the vanity in your system. I know a good way to get rid of the smell, if you want. Just rip your head off. You'd be dead, obviously, but the smell would be gone," I retorted. I heard a growl from behind me, and assumed Emmett wasn't all too happy with my idea. Suddenly, he was in front of me, a low growl ripping its way out of his throat. I had made four vampires incredibly angry already, and doubted I could make the rest angry too. I didn't want Nessie getting caught in the cross fires.
Before I could come up with a plan to knock down the blonde leech and Emmett, Edward had slammed into me. I felt one of my ribs crack, but phased before any further harm could be done. I could bear the pain, if only for long enough to get this over with. We scrabbled around on the ground, clawing at each other, amongst lots of growling and hissing, on both parts. He threw me into the ground, his hand on my throat, ready to choke me, or break my neck, when I pushed him off. I was just about to spring on him, when I felt a strong, slender hand on my chest, and suddenly I was flying through the air. I didn't realise what was happening until I smashed through several young trees. I scrambled up, and saw Bella stood in the middle of the clearing, arms outstretched on either side. Her face showed so much worry and fury, but most of all pain.
"Stop it! Please! I don't want you fighting over Renesmee," her voice rang loud and clear through the clearing, "I've seen it before and I don't want it to happen again. She won't always be our baby, Edward. But Jake, you can't just expect us to be completely okay with what you did. I can't watch you two fighting. It kills me." She sounded oddly breathless, as if she had been crying for a while. She collapsed into a heap on the ground, exhausted, and buried her head in her knees. Edward was by her side instantly, as always, to comfort her. She sobbed tearlessly, her shoulders shaking, and I could see that I had upset her greatly. I jogged into the trees and phased back. Once I had changed into my stash of spare clothes, I limped over to Bella. I could see Edward and Bella conferring almost silently, but couldn't hear them.
"Jacob, we think it best if you leave," murmured Edward. I brushed off the fact that he had said 'we' instead of 'I'. I assumed he was automatically speaking for Bella again. I continued to move forwards, ignoring Edward's remark.
"I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't think it would affect you this seriously." It was the truth. I hadn't thought about the consequences of having sex with Nessie. I was blinded by my urges as a wolf, and as myself. Nessie was physically in her early twenties, like me, but was, mentally, only 15 or so. I didn't think about how it might hurt her as well. I was a wreck. I wanted to apologise to everyone for ever entering their lives, and just leave, but Renesmee was tying me here. Wherever she was, I had to be. It was too painful to be away from her. But if she wanted me to leave, I would, because she is my world, my true soul mate.
"Jake, what we mean is, we don't want you to be with Renesmee at the moment. Not until you're both ready. You can't stay here," explained Bella. And I knew she was right. I wasn't ready to be with Renesmee, and vice versa. I saw Rosalie smirking, and vowed to tear her bleached head off one day. Renesmee sobbed quietly, and I wanted to gather her in my arms and hold her there forever, never letting go. But I couldn't, because I knew it would hurt even more when I left. Instead, I ran towards the cottage, but not before I heard Nessie screaming at Bella and Edward that she hated them for doing this to her, and me. I started packing as soon as I reached the cottage, and just as I was about to close the suitcase, I felt Nessie's cool hand on mine and looked up to see her beautiful, tearstained face.
"Please don't leave Jake."
"I have to. There isn't any other way, I'm sorry. I love you Nessie, goodbye," I whispered, my voice rough with the pain I felt. I knew it wasn't true though. I could still be with her. But I was weak now, and I couldn't face the rejection if she said no. Life is hard, love is harder, but the hardest part was leaving her.
