"Bella!" The voice startled me. My ears rang in joy. Reconizing the voice I turned around in excitement. Edward Cullen skipped up the steps with a bright smile. I found myself smiling also. Hes finally back. The crystal like raindrops stayed put on his bronze hairline.He embraced me in his arms. He smelled so delictable. I gave him a tight squeeze.
"I missed you" I told him.
"I missed you too" His voice was so beautiful. He brought me out of his grip. His arms still wrapped around my waist.
"Did you get any grizzly bears, moutain lions?" I grinned.That crooked smile of his made me melt.
"Yes" He nodded simply. Like it was just a natural topic.
"Thats good" I said with a loving expression. My tone of voice was soft. His gentle eyes watched me carefully.
"Did you have fun without me?"
"Yes, Jake was very amusing to be with"I lied. I haven't even spoke to Jake after the incident. Edward nodded looking around to change the subject.His expression wasn't very approving. I decided to change my train of thought. The sheet of rain was a beautiful rhythm, Like a very own lullaby for my vampire.
"Anyways we should get inside before were soaked" I reminded, tugging his hand. He didn't budge.
"You look goregous, Bella" He used one hand to caress my wet cheek.
"I doubt that...I'm all wet" I complained. Keeping his gaze under my eyelashes.
"You're a sight for sore eyes...You being wet, just attracts me" He smiled evily. My heart stopped, as usual. My heart can't take those smiles of his. Trying to catch up with my regular breathing patteren. My sigh was unsteady.
"C'mon, you" I pulled him into the house. Charlie was slumped on the couch with a bottle of beer with one hand. Staring at the television. His eyes slowly looked over to the door open.
"Hi Dad! Look Edward is back!" I sounded too excited. Like one of those peppy girls on MTV. Edward gave Charlie a nice smile. Charlie shurgged his shoulders.
"Hey Edward...You sure go camping often" Charlie murmured as he focused back to the television.
"Yes, I love the outdoors" His voice was polite, It was hard to tell that he was lying. Pleasant and handsome. His gold eyes shined throughout the whole house. Charlie mumbled something then took a sip of his drink. I gritted my teeth. Wishing that Charlie was more welcoming.
"Oh by the way, Bella. Jake called" Charlie said purposly. trying to make Edward angry or jealous.
"Oh?" My reply wasn't very surprised.
"He said he was sorry" Charlie finally gave me a stern look. Meaning 'Go call the boy'.
"Hm" My response. I felt Edward's eyes glued to me. I left the living room and walked slowly to the dining room. Taking a seat. Edward followed. He stared at me with a puzzled look. I gulped.
"What?" I muttered.
"What did he do this time..." Edward sounded displeased. I couldn't answer. His look scared me a little, He actually looked like a vampire.
"What did he do" He repeated, flat and icy.
"N-Nothing...Its nothing important"
"I wish I could read your mind" He growled. I'm grateful that hes not able to read my mind. It wouldn't exactly be fair.
"Are you going to tell me...Or do I have to dazzle you" He hid a smile. I tried to hide mine. No success.
"No don't dazzle me, My heart might stop" I chuckled.I could hear grumble from the other room.
"Well?" Edward whispered. He brushed my bangs out of my face. I sighed.
"He kissed me again..." I whispered to the table. I saw Edward's expression change from the corner of my eye. I took his hand to calm him.
"Don't get mad" I pleaded.
"Why...Did you ask him too?" That voice of his was hard.
"No, but I feel bad anyway" I left his hand on the table and weaved my arms together.
"Why?" He asked, concerned.
"Well...Its just...Hes inlove with me and I feel bad that he wastes that love on me when he knows I can't return it" I muttered.
"Are you sure you can't return it?" The question made me inhale quickly.
"W-what?! How could you even...No! I can't return that love because I only see him as a friend!" I smashed my fist to the table. Charlie interupted my panicking with a stern setence.
"I think you should call him, He sounded upset...You can't blame the boy for kissing you"
"Stop listening!" I yelled standing up.
"The walls are thin! You can't blame me!"
"Yes I can! Focus on your game!" I commanded. Edward smiled. He liked my expression. I gave him a look. His smile shined still.
"And you!" I pointed.
"Yes?" He sounded ready for my screams. An amused smile.
"I love you! So don't get any ideas about that Jacob!"
"I love you too" He commented.Another grumble and a mutter from the living room.
"Dad! Stop listening!" I screeched.
"Touchy ..." I heard him say. I sat back down slowly.
"Stupid Jacob...Stupid Charlie...Stupid me" I growled. Edward used his hands and pulled me into a kiss.
"No, you're not stupid...Jacob, yes...And possibly the second" He whispered with a wink. I smiled to be so close to his face.A close up on his beauty.
"I should call Jake though..." I confessed. "I called him a jerk and I said I hated him" I sounded disppointed in myself.Which was how I did feel.
"Good" Edward replied.
"He doesn't have the right to kiss you if you don't want to...moronic dog"
"Hes young and confused"
"Hes still a moron"
"Hes my moron though...My best friend" Edward smiled at my comment. We were whispering now. Charlie doesn't know that Edward is a vampire or Jake was a werewolve.I have a feeling if I told him...He would bring me to therapy.
"I'd like to have a word with him also" Edward made a fist. Not whispering. He was proud to even knock out that wolf.
"AY! No fighting!" Charlie yelled.
"DAD! SERIOUSLY!" I screeched. Another grumble.
"If you keep listening, Edward and I shall just go to my BEDROOM" I bolded the last word.
"NO! UNDER NO CIRUMSTANCES!"
"THEN SOME PRIVACY!"
"Its my house I'll listen to any conversation!" I huffed.
"Then I'll just move out..."
"Ay!"
"Its a joke...sort of"
I dialed Jake's number. Edward watched over my shoulder as I put the phone to my ear. Holding the phone with both hands. It rang. It felt like forever.
"Bella?" I heard his voice muffle. "Hey Jake" I muttered. Displeased. He sounded relieved.
"Bella! I missed you"
"Mmhm" Avoiding to give back the compliment.
"Is he there?" Jacob asked quietly and full of distaste.
"Hes beside me" I looked at Edward. His arms were crossed.
"He says hi" I said coldly. Edward scoffed. Jacob heard.
"Hmph. Look Bella I'm really really really really reaaaaaally sorry, It was stupid of me"
"Yep"
" Seriously I am! I enjoyed it, I can't lie but I just feel bad that I had to force you" I sighed. He was convincing. But the first comment made me feel horrible.
"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't of said I hated you"
"Aha! Your apologizing? I deserved that"
"No not really...Your young and confused"
Silence.
His teeth grinded.
"Bella I'm not confused about anything" My pupils shrunk. Edward growled.
"May I talk to him?" He asked politely. Expressionless.
"Uh..."If I handed him the phone would chaos break loose. His beauty distracted me and I handed it to him.
"Jacob" He said his name roughly. I shivered. Don't fight. Don't fight. Don't fight.
"Hmph, If you ever do another stunt like that i'll ..." He looked at the living room. I leaned and saw Charlie glare at him.
"DAD! WHAT THE HELL!" Charlie turned back to his precious television.
"This is your last warning you little..." He looked at the living room once more. Charlie.
"Dad..." I growled.
"I'm a police officer! If I hear a threat hes going to jail"
"You can't arrest him!" Charlie gave me an evil look.
"I believe I can do that...considering I'm the cheif"
"Dad!" I whined. He turned back.
"Mmhm...Meet me at the house then" Edward commanded him in a growl. He was apparently whispering in the background as I yelled at my father. I felt my body tremble. Don't fight...Don't fight...Don't fight...Don't fight...
Jacob's rabbit pulled up the driveway. I sat on the pourch scared out of my mind. Do I have to referee this? Well I'm not letting any punches fly. Jacob slammed his door.My thoughts were on what Edward said to make Jake have such a face filled with hatrid. I quickly stood up. Edward was walking towards Jake with also a look full of hate.I stepped in the middle. Placing both of my hands on theirchests. Even though both of them could rip me to shreds.
"Okay! Whatever you plan on doing it better not involve violence" Jake smiled at me.
"Its good to see you Bella, You look absouletly gorgeous" My face flushed and my body felt weak.
"Uh!" I turned to see Edward's face.The vampire like face again.
"Edward...Don't" I pleaded. He look at me. Trying to follow my instruction. Resisting.
"C'mon Edward...You called me here for a reason...I'm ready for my punishment" He smirked. Edward kept his face the same. Resist, Resist.
"By the way...It was nice...Her lips are very soft"
"JAKE! Stop!" Removing my hand from Edward. I shoved Jacob.I didn't want to watch Edward go monster on his ass.
"I can take him, Bella" He told me. My stomach dropped in fear.
"Won't it be interesting to see who will walk away?"Jake asked him.
"I think you should be more scared then cocky" Edward mumbled. Evily. His monster was speaking for himself.
"Edward" I put my hands on his chest.
"Don't do this"
"I'm waiting" Jacob said boredly.
"I'm trying, Bella" His voice sounded weak. As if he was trying to fight his other form. Jacob yawned. My eye started to fill.
"Jake! Stop toying with him!" I pleaded.
"Why...Hes suppose to be this amazing vampire your so inlove with, He can't even handle his temper?" I wasn't sure of it myself.Jacob was purposely saying all this. He was looking for a fight. What was the prize though...If its me...
"Bella you should go inside" Edward told me.
"No! Don't even!"
"Bella I could kill you..." I gasped.
"Oh such poetry, Now I see why your head over heels for this guy" Jacob spat out his sentence. I stammered on my next sentence. I had no idea what to do.Jake was obviously not helping. It doesn't matter who will win...In the end I'll still lose.
"Don't fight..." I begged.
"Quiet!" Edward's voice was vicious. It wasn't him.Tears poured out. Hes not the Edward I'm inlove with. That damn monster.
"Bella please..." Edward's voice was breaking so gently.
"No..." I sobbed. I felt myself being lifted. I screamed.It was Jacob. He brought me to the car. Edward allowed. He opened the door and shoved me in. Slamming the door when I was safely in. The keys were in the ignition.
"NO!" I saw the door lock on its own. Jacob was holding some device that did that.
"Bella...It'll be over soon" He smiled.
"Jake why!" I screamed.
"Isn't it obvious..."He closed up on the window.
"I love you...I want you all to myself" He said honestly.
"Jake! If you love me don't do this!" He turned around ignoring me.
"JAKE!" I screamed. His body quickly transformed. His shirt ripped off and fell to the dirt. He was as tall as a horse. A big wolf. The same fur colour as his own hair. He was so furry. I looked at Edward's expression. His eye's were now black.
"EDWARD!" I screeched. His fists were quickly made as I called his name. Maybe the monster thought I was rooting for him. I banged at the window as hard as I could. No effect.
"EDWARD! JAKE! LET ME OUT RIGHT NOW!" Now I was kicking at the window, I made a small crack. But I was so tired just from that. Is Jake's car just as industructable as both these guys were.
"Please..." I said weakly. Ignored again. They glared at each other for a long minute. They were both growling. Jacob's wolve form snapped at Edward showing off his own dog fangs. I swallowed and coughed. My tears were so flowing now. Edward smiled villian like. His fangs were huge, sharp and shiny. I screamed once more. Jacob pounced towards the vampire.
"NO!" Edward dodged it. My weak body began to kick the window again, All my stregenth draining. The crack hardly changed. It was probably a tad larger. You could hardly tell.
"NO NO NO!! STOP!" Edward slashed Jacob in the face.
"NO! STOP!" No one listened. Could Charlie not hear any of this. Was he so busy with his damn baseball game he couldn't dare to his eyes of the television. Someone let me out. Jake's gang could be coming any second. Alice could have seen this in a vision. A battle would emerge.
"NO!" I screamed again.A Hard kick. Glass flung towards me and hit me in the face. Lovely. Blood. Wait...blood! Edward's monster thrived for my blood. Atleast that would stop him from attacking Jake. I wiped up the mark with my sleeve. The window wasn't even that damaged. Only a chip of glass. Jacob's wolf form ran into the forest Edward followed. They were both blurs. Then before I could even blink, they disappeared.
"No! No No! What do I do!" I asked my conscious. My eyes looked over at the keys.
"Am I that stupid" I asked myself ashamed that I didn't think of that as soon as I saw them. My weak body crawled over to the driver's side of the car. I was dizzy. I'm not going to take a breather. I tried to pull myself together. Inhale Exhale. I turned the keys.The engine purred. Victory. I smiled weakly. The radio blasted. Spice girls. How random. I turned it down quickly. 'If you wanna be my lover then you gotta get with my friends' Scary spice screeched. I slammed my foot down. The car slid through the mud. I turned the steering wheel towards the forest. Everything looked blurry it was so fast. I saw some blood on the trees. I gasped and pushed harder down. Zooming past the trees. I slowed down. There was a turn off. Which way...Which way!I heard a howl from the left side. I drove to the noise. I was now able to see Jake and Edward battle it out. I couldn't tell who was winning. I stopped the car. Took the keys out. Unlocked the car. Jumped out.
"EDWARD! JAKE!" I screeched. They both looked at me. Jacob growled at me. For not staying put.
"Both of you stop right now! This is so stupid!"
"Bella...I told you to leave" The real Edward told me in a growl.
"If you both are going to fight over me, then I'll just get rid of the problem" Jake tilted his head. Edward also looked confused. I jumped back in the car. Drove, I headed to the cliff.
"BELLA!" They both screamed my name loudly, The birds flew out of the trees as if in an explosion. Edward was back to normal. Jake was some how able to say my name even though he was a wolf. I looked at my rear view mirror and saw them chase after the car. They were catching up...I pushed down harder. The car went up the hill, but not as steady as I wish it did.Edward jumped infront of the car. I screamed. He pushed down lightly and the front of the car began to crumble. My eyes were filled with amazement. So strong...I felt the back of the car being tugged. Jacob. Using his teeth to pull the entire car. Edward's face was very angry. He wasn't the monster though.
