A Few Months Later. (Late March)
Edward's Point Of View.
I was fighting every moment not to go back. Isabella , Isabella. That kept running through my head. No Edward! You left her so she can be human! Be safe! Have a human life! Bella I miss you so much. Maybe she needs me? Maybe she hates me? Maybe she's already over me. I didn't know. Yet I wanted to know so badly.
Bella's Point Of View.
Ever since he left me I've gotten better. I'm not as depressed. The fact that Jacob is practicly with me 24/7 helps alot. We're sorta more than friends now. It's nice having someone there. I love him more than a friend now. He always wanted that. Today I'm on my way to La Push to see Jacob. He's not home great. I went down to the beach instead of waiting. The sun is out today. Strange. I keep feeling gittery , but I don't know why. Just a strange danger feeling. It's to much so I started walking back to my truck. It's when I saw her. She was on top of a tree. Twisting her flame curls in her hands. Victoria. I took a deep slow breath. "Bella. It's been a while. The Cullens left you behind , huh. I'm not suprised , but I'm pleased. You won't feel a thing. I'm just playing. Your going to feel the pain James felt!" She growled. What do I do! What do I do! Just stay here and await my death. Lead her away from the people I love. Let her take her revenge so she can leave? She charged at me when suddenly a wolf tackled her out of the way. It wasn't Jacob. He was a russet color. This wolf was grey.
The grey wolf tackled her. Sending her half way into the ground. "You stupid mutt! You'll be sorry!" Victoria growled. Suddenly more , and more wolves emerged from the trees. I saw a russet color werewolf. Jacob. I wasn't an idiot. I started running towards my truck. I was in shock. My hands were shaking to hard for me to put the key in. Then Paul come in pushing me out of the driver's seat. "Bella let me drive okay," he said sweetly. "Are you okay?" He asked worried. What? Why does he care? "Um.. Yeah I'm fine I'm fine," I reassured him. He drove me home , but every minute he would turn and check on me. When we got to my house he looked stiff. I walked up the steps when he growled. "Bella we have to go back to La Push! Now!" Paul ordered. "Why?" I asked. He started shaking. It's when I saw a volvo pulling up. My heart sank. Edward. The silver car pulled up. Paul grabbed my arm. "Bella c'mon!" "Stop Paul! I don't want to go back! You can go now ," I told him.
Paul didn't let go of my arm. Alice , and Esme stepped out of the car. "Esme. Alice. I missed you guys!" I said. There was a smile on my face. "Us to dear," Esme said. Alice smiled , and nodded in agreement. I pulled to hug them , but Paul held me back. "Paul let go!" I yelled. His grip on me just tightened. He was still sorta of shaking. "We're not going to hurt her you mutt , " Alice snapped. This was when Edward showed up. My heart felt whole again. Happy. I was complete. "Unhand her now," Edward's voice was serious , and dangerous. "Keep your hands off of her!" Paul snapped when Edward put his hand on my shoulder. Both of their grips were tight. "You both are going to hurt her! Let her go!" Alice demanded. They both released their grips on me. Paul was just a few inches taller than Edward. They both stood face to face. Alice , and Esme took my hands and let me inside. Paul growled when they touched me. Okay WTF is wrong with Paul? They led me to the sofa to sit. "Explain?" I asked.
Alice cleared her throat. "Okay. First of all Edward lied he still loves you. He felt for your own good. But he came back for you. I saw when Victoria was going to attack you , and we all rushed back as soon as possible ," she said. In those few words I understood. Everything. "I'm suprised your not with Paul ," Esme commented. "What do you mean?" I asked. "When considering he imprinted on you ," she added. What? That felt like a slap in the safe. Jacob had explained imprinting to me. 'When you see her she becomes your world. Protect her , love her , and care for her. Anything to make her happy.' Everything Paul did for me! It was so ovious and I didn't see it! "You didn't know!" Alice said shocked. I shook my head. I sat there trying to sort evrything out. I loved Edward , but I had Jacob , but I loved Edward more. Yet Jacob could imprint and leave me. But I was it for Paul. He could only be happy with me. It was still my choice and it said Edward , but I just didn't know.
