It's been 3 weeks since I blew up at Jacob. You know, I thought it was tghe wolves that had anger issues, but man! Did I ever think I could do that? No!
Anyway, I hadn't thought of him the whole time. Way to break your streak Bella.
Okay, so Alice said I had to get out of the house. I was cooped up and haven't left since I got back that Friday.
I decided to please her and I went to go to a bar. I'm 100 and.......I dont know, I've lost track. Anyway, I'm old enough to drink.
There are some guys....they keep staring at me. It's starting to creep me out, but I know I can take them out with one punch if I have to.
I got a drink when one of those guys came after me. I walked out and they followed. He lit a cigarette and I cringed. He seemed to notice and put it closer to me. Suddenly, a huge russett colored wolf jumped out. I took one look at him and ran. I knew it was HIM.
I knew two things were certain, A) Alice is going to freak 'cause she couldn't see me. B) I was NOT going to stay around and wait for an apology.
I ran back to my house and was jumped by a pixie.
"Where were you and why couldn't I see you?" She asked.
"A) A guys was after me and B) you couldn't save me because HEcame to help." Just then, he walked out of the woods. "Speak of the devil." I said under my breath.
"Bella." He greeted me like a perfect gentleman.
"Mutt." I said in response. He looked shocked for a split second and then, before I could tell that's what I saw, he went back to unemotional.
"Can we talk privately?" I looked at him and searched his eyes.
Nothing. I nodded and, 2when his back was turned, looked at Alice and mouthed 'Help me!' She just laughed. Stupid pixie.
I followed him and walked slowly.
"So, you didn't want to hear my apology." He said, matter-of-factly.
"Well, I figured if you hurt me, you'd just do it again." I snapped. My eyes started to burn blue fire and then they turned silver.
"Bella, why are your eyes silver?" He asked.
I sighed. " 'Cause, they are and wanna be." I said. The real reason is that when I start to cry, or at least get close, my eyes turned silver. No one else does this and no else knows, not even Carlisle.
"Bella." He pleaded. I shifted my eyes from his face and looked at the trees. The tears threatened to spill.
"Seriously, why are you ignorng me?" he asked. He sounded hurt, but I didn't care 'cause I wasn't the one that promised him I wouldn't hurt him.
"I can change." He begged. The tears spilled over. He sounded so deperate and lost. Ha. Lost without me? Now there's a funny thought. He's a werewolf, I'm a vampire, he's supposed to hate me, I'm supposed to hate him.
"Are you....crying?" He asked. I nodded. His eyes searched mine and realizatiopn and understanding dawned on him.
"I did it again." He sighed. "I've hurt you. I really don't mean to. And... your eyes turn silver when you're going to cry?" He said. I nodded again but didn't look at him.
He walked around till I was facing him and he...KISSED ME?
He's a werewolf. I'm a vampire. No, this isn't right. I can't like him. I pulled away, reluctantly, then said, "I can't do this, I'm sorry. I really am, but I can't do this." And I ran. I ran until I was thirty and I ran until the tears stopped. My eyes turned ack to normal and I walked into the house.
Everyone was standing near the fire.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"That's what we'd like to know." Emmett said in a serious voice. Uh oh.....Then a smile cracked his face and he started to laugh. "Man, I've always wanted to say that!" I smiled, but Carlisle was looking grim.
"What's wrong?" I asked again.
"Bella," Carlsilse said. "It's Jacob. He's in a coma." He siad and my world shattered around me.
