I only own the plot ;3

A/N: so this is the second chapter of 'FtfT' xD thanx for all the awesome reviews, you make me very happy –pulls everyone into a hug-

Btw: I have some characteristics about them. You can find 'em here - http: / / animexx. Onlinewelten. com / fanfiction / username / KyokoUchiha / 239552 / (without the spaces :D – if it does not function, than try the link in my profile^^)

!On with the show!

I was seated on a comfy milky white sofa in the guest room with a green washbowl at my feet. A wet washcloth lay on my forehead and my eyes were closed. Nice way of showing them, what you had for lunch. I scolded myself mentally.

After the incident in the living room Alice had taken me to the bathroom, where I had thrown up the rest of my lunch into the toilet. During this humiliating process Alice had rubbed my back soothingly (she had done this in high school a few times before). When I finally had been sure that I hadn't anything in my stomach anymore, she had guided me in this guest room. She had told me to rest a bit and had given me some pills. Jasper had kept me company until I told him to go and have some fun.

'I won't, believe me'. Dunno why he had said that.

But I hadn't cared. Right know I wanted to be left alone. I felt miserable, not only for my sickness but mostly because of Edward. I'd never imagined for meeting him in real life. I knew that I was completely in love with him but being suddenly confronted with him, no wonder my tummy revolted.

I hate this fuckin' bitch! I had this strong feeling to cry my heart out, but reminded myself that I was a man and men would not cry. But what could I do instead? Either stay in this room and wait 'til Alice and Jasper decide to leave or go down and face him and this bitch of a ... (ugh) wife. I shuddered at that thought.

It was kinda funny, how fast I had changed my view of Bella (ugh). At first, I thought she was hot (double ugh) and now, I wanted her to fall on her 'pretty' face and die right on the floor, so badly. Boy, I was jealous like a fifteen-year-old kid. I tried to concentrate on something else.

Knock. Knock. "Mind if I come in?"

"Nope, come in."

I opened my eyes as Jasper entered and I could tell, that he was reliefed.

"What's with the sour mood? Did something happen?"

"Yes, you not being downstairs and me handling Isabella alone."

"Isabella?"

"That's her full name, but she hates it, when people call her that."

I smirked. "Thanks for the information." I would definitely call her that later on. Hopefully she'll get hysterical. That'd be really fun.

"What're you plotting?" Jasper looked suspiciously at me. He knew when I had something bad in mind.

I threw the washcloth into the bowl. "Nothing. Did you have fun?"

He frowned. "Told you, I would not. Why?"

I grinned devilishly. "Then let's have some fun."

He sighed but nodded. "Promise me not to throw up again."

I cringed. "Sorry, I won't." Hopefully.

Jasper stood up and offered me a hand.

"Wait, I need to know something first." As I turned serious, he sat down again. "You and Alice knew about ... him. I told you a lot, I knew his last name, Swan, but you assured me that you did not know him by any chance. Why did you lie to me?"

A sad expression appeared on his face. "We didn't intend to hurt your feelings, Jake. Alice knew that it was her brother you fell in love with, but she believed that it'd harm you, if you knew –"

"That he married this bitch?"

He nodded, his lips formed into an amused smile. "But she didn't tell him, that you're her best friend. He didn't knew, that you'd come today."

I frowned. "Then why did you two bring me to this dinner? You don't want me to get hurt, but now I am exactly this. Hurt."

Jasper took my hand. "I am truly sorry, believe me."

"It is actually my fault." Alice spoke up while entering the room. She seated herself on the armrest next to me and looked me in the eyes. Tears were glistening in the corner of her eyes.

I resisted the urge to kiss them away, that was now Jasper's job. However I was still mad and felt betrayed. So I waited for further explanation.

"Look, my brother ... married her two years ago. It had been the time where you broke up with Leah, remember? You were unstable and in a deep depression. I figured, that it'd hurt you even more, if you knew about the marriage. I'm sorry for doing that, but I believed it was the right decision at that time." She put her hand on top of Jasper's, which still lay on mine.

I wanted to pull my hand back but decided against it, because I still loved them, no matter how much they lied to me. "So", I hesitated, "did ... did Edward recognize me?" It was kinda strange asking them about him, when only one floor was separating us.

"Yes, indeed." My heart skipped a beat. I looked up and watched her searching for words. "He didn't say much ..." She dropped her gaze down to the floor.

"He's pretty pissed –"

"Jasper!" Alice said distressed.

"He wants to know the truth." She closed her mouth. "He told me, that I shouldn't have brought you here."

My heart ached at this words. "So, he doesn't like me the way, he wrote in his mails?" Reality hit me like a brick wall.

"Jake", Alice put her arm around me and pulled me into a side hug, "don't be heartbroken. He's not worth any of your tears, believe me."

I noticed Jasper raising an eyebrow. "You know, you're talking about your brother, don't you?"

Alice glared at him. "And? Don't I have the right to say, what I think should be said? But if you think, that it is wrong what I said, then feel free to go downstairs and leave us alone. I don't want you telling me, what I can say and what not." (A/N: does this make any sense to you?)

An amused twinkle appeared in his eyes.

I pulled away from Alice and gave her a look.

She winked. "You don't have to understand what I just said."

I rubbed the bridge of my nose. "If you keep talking like this, I'll get a headache."

Knock. Knock. "I'll get it." Jasper stood and headed for the door. He opened it a little bit.

"Dinner's ready." I sucked in a breath. It was Edward.

I tried to calm down and felt Alice grabbing my hand for support. I squeezed it a little.

"Thanks. We'll be downstairs in a minute." Jasper answered in a low voice.

"Okay." He paused and whispered something. I couldn't exactly make out what he said, but it sure sounded a lot like: 'How is he'. My heart, again, skipped a beat. He does care ... but, maybe he's only polite. This thought hurt, so I ignored it.

Jasper closed the door and turned to us. He shared a look with his wife. "Shall we go?"

Alice nodded and got up. "You wanna come with us?"

I considered the given options that I had. It's better to go with them. I don't want them talking about me, while I'm not present. I stood up. "Yep."

Both of them gave me a smile. Before exiting the room, Alice turned and whispered: "I love you."

I grinned. "Love you too." As I followed them downstairs, I promised myself not to show weakness in front of him and his bitch.

"So, Jackson", I frowned as Bella spoke up, "Alice told me, that you're a mechanic. Is this a hobby? You're still attending college, aren't you?"

I squeezed the fork in my left hand and tried not spit out a filthy comment about her stupidness. "Jacob." I looked at her across the table. "My name's Jacob, not Jackson. I told you this before."

"Oh, I am so sorry, Jacob" She blinked innocently and put a piece of broccoli into her mouth.

I glared at my plate. I knew the dinner would be horror, so I could only blame myself for coming down. As we had entered the dining room (which was right next to the living room), the table had already been set. It was a rectangularly long mahogany table – Jasper and Alice were sitting on one side with him facing Edward and her facing Bella. I sat next to Alice with nobody across from me, thankfully.

"And yes, I'm a car mechanic, but it's my job, not a hobby." I picked up a piece of potato and examined it, before putting it into my mouth. The food wasn't really bad, but I didn't like the fact, that Bella had made it. If Edward had been the cook, I would have eaten the food with delight, probably.

Speaking of him. Since dinner started, he hadn't said a word. He silently ate his food and only looked up from his plate, when somebody would direct a question at him, or when Bella'd snuggle against him.

He openly ignored me. The potato in my mouth tasted bitter. I grabbed my glass of water and emptied it in three long gulps.

"Jake doesn't go to college. He's only two years younger than you, remember?" Alice explained with a fake happy voice.

"Oh, sorry. But you look so young. I thought, you're like 20." A sickening sweet smile appeared on her face. I wanted nothing more then to rip it out. Instead I chose to ignore her and stole a glance at Edward. He was, like I mentioned before, starring at his plate, a grim expression on his face. It looked like he was uncomfortable. I bet, if I weren't sitting at the table, he would make a happy face and talk openly to everyone.

I looked back at my plate and grimaced. I wasn't hungry anymore.

"So, you told us on the phone, that you have big news to tell." Jasper took a sip from his sprite and looked expectantly at the couple.

Bella's face brightend like a star in darkness. Whatever she wanted to tell them, it wouldn't be good for me. I had a bad feeling in my gut.

I glanced once again at Edward and noticed him tensing – this wasn't a good sign either. I continued watching him as Bella spilled the news.

"Well, I didn't want to tell you at the phone, because it's too important and we wanted to surprise you. Congratulation, you two are going to be uncle and aunt!" She paused. "I'm pregnant!"

At this exact moment Edward returned my look for the first time.

"Wow ... ehm. That's wonderful ... I guess." Alice glanced uncertainly at me, before getting up. She hopped around the table and pulled Bella into a hug.

Lucky Bella, bearing Edward's child, laughed happily.

There had been so many different things, which she could have told, but out of all it had to be her being pregnant, with Edward's child (it hurt every time I thought about it). A few minutes ago, I would have been happy, if he had glanced at me, but now ... we still locked eyes but it didn't mean anything anymore to me.

Right now, the world around me collapsed like a house of cards.

"You okay?" I broke the gaze and gave Jasper a tired smile, while nodding.

"Jacob." I turned to Bella and tried to feign happiness. "Don't you want to give me a hug?"

I frowned. Not even if my life would depend on it.

Alice noticed my grim expression. "You know guys and hugs. They don't feel comfortable. Let's not worry about it."

"You're right. I'm so excited! Edward promised me to visit Hawaii, when the baby's born." Bella went on and on. "He's so proud and happy, we'll have our own little family!"

That's it! I stood up and looked at Jasper, furious. "Jasper, can I take the car, I need fresh air."

He seemed a bit taken aback. "Sorry, but the car's rented. I cannot let you drive due to the insurance."

"But –" I need to get out of this house. Away from this pregnant witch, but mostly away from him.

"He can take my car." Everyone was surprised when Edward spoke up.

"Edward!" His wife exclaimed appalled.

"You sure?" Alice shared a look with him.

He nodded and got up. As he walked around the table, Bella let go of Alice and grabbed his arm. "What are you doing? You cannot give him your car. He'll crash it!"

I glared at her. How could she suggest something like this about me. I have never had an accident with a car before. Only once, but at that time I had been driving my old bike. The other driver hadn't seen me in time, it wasn't my fault. Edward knew the story.

For a brief second a glare appeared on his handsome face. "No, he won't." I felt the corner of my lips forming into a smile. "I'll make sure of that." My smile disappeared. What was that supposed to mean?

"But I thought ... we wanted to celebrate! You cannot leave me!" Boy, she was getting hysterical - sadly I didn't have the time to really enjoy it.

Edward put a hand on top of hers and pulled it off his arm. "We'll be back in one hour." He then gazed at me and motioned for me to follow him.

I hesitantly looked at my friends for help.

Jasper nodded towards Edward's direction and Alice gave me an encouraging smile. 'Go', she mouthed.

I felt my legs starting to move on their own and went right after him. While passing Bella, I noticed the heated glare, she threw my way. She looked ready to kill. I couldn't prevent a smile forming on my lips.

As I entered the big garage, Edward was standing in front of a shining silver Volvo, his first car. This type of car suited him.

"The Volvo looks amazing ... thanks for letting me borrow it. I'll be very careful."

He raised an eyebrow, an amused twinkle in his eyes. "I said, you can take my car", he opened the driver's door, "but I am going to drive."

I gaped dumbfounded at him, while he got into the car and started the engine.

He would accompany me in his car. I'd be alone, with him. This gave me goose bumps.

I was startled as Edward honked and hurried to the car. I climbed into the passenger's site of the car, just in time. Only two seconds after shutting the door, Edward already sped out of the garage and onto the street.

I nervously gazed at him and swallowed, when he gave me a charming smile, which I, by the way, only knew from the video conversations with him.

"So, you also did not know about Alice planning to get us together, did you?"

- Tbc - XP

Yep, this is the end ... of the second chapter ^-^ there's a third (final) one. It's in my head, but I plan to write it this week, hopefully.

I actually wanted to end the chapter at another part, but then the last chapter would result in being too short n.n – so, now we have to be satisfied with this end =)

Ah, in the meantime you could think 'bout the reason, why Edward has married Bella. I'm curious 'bout your ideas.

Pls R/R (if you find any mistakes, please tell me. I need to learn writing in English :D)
