As I drove through La Push I felt like I was coming home. I had spent so much time on the reservation while Edward was away and now it felt like I had not been here for ages. I did not realize how much I missed this place.
I came into the Blacks' driveway and could see Jacobs face in the window. Suddenly he was running out the door to meet me. Seeing him made me smile. I really did care for Jacob, but I could never love him the way I loved Edward.
He came right to the truck and opened my door for me.
" Hey Bella! I'm so glad you came down. I haven't seen you in forever. I missed you."
" I know how you feel." I gave Jacob a hug. He seemed to miss-interpret the gesture and tries to kiss me. "Jacob, I told you I love Edward. I missed you but not in that way."
"I know, But I missed you in that way" he said with an arrogant smile on his face.
"So what do you have planned for this evening? Are we going to go visit the rest of the pack or are they still mad at me?"
"No they aren't mad at you, but I thought we would maybe just go for a walk or something. Now that you're here I want to have you all to myself for a while."
It sounded nice to just hang out with Jacob alone for a while, no matter how much I did not want to admit it.
" That sounds nice" I said. We started walking but we did not go the way we usually went. "Aren't we going down to the beach to walk?" I asked Jacob. We always go to the beach when we are alone. It felt like that was our special place.
" No tonight I thought we would go for a walk along the cliffs. The ocean and the moon look very nice from up there. It's a very…good spot to talk."
I knew that was not what Jacob was thinking. Even without the hesitation I knew Jacob thought it would be romantic. He told me once before that's where the couples from La Push go to be alone.
We were to the cliffs now and Jacob was right, it was beautiful. The moon sparkled in a way that is indescribable. Jacob was looking at me in an odd way.
"What?"
"Bella, can I ask you a question?"
I had to think about it for a second. Against my better judgment I said, " Jacob you can always ask me anything."
" Why do you want to be a vampire?"
This question took me by surprise. I thought he already knew the answer to that one.
"To be with Edward of course."
"Yes I know that, but why else? I mean there has to be another reason. And aren't you afraid of hurting people?"
" There is no other reason then to be with him. I love him and I want to be with for all of eternity. And of course I'm afraid of hurting people but I know Edward and his entire family would never let me. I am going to be a vegetarian just like them."
He looked at me hoping for another answer. I could tell he was hoping that I wanted to be a vampire for some other reason that he could talk me out of. Then he got angry.
"Bella!' he shouted. He was starting to shake. " How could you ever want something so horrible!? How could you choose so a horrible fate and leave you entire world behind for that, that, that Blood Sucking Leech!?"
He was trebling so much that I knew he would burst any second.
"Because I love him more than anything in this world."
The second it was out of my mouth I knew it was the wrong thing to say. Jacob suddenly burst from his human from shredding all of his clothes and knocking me backward in the process. I tumbled backward and flailed for a second. As Jacob approached me, I took a step backward, right over the edge of the cliff.
I
