Chapter 2
We pulled up to my house and sure enough, Charlie's car was parked in the exact spot it had been when we left in the morning.
I wonder why he didn't go to work. I thought as I opened the front door and stepped into the house. Edward drove down the street and out of sight as he saw me step into the threshold.
"Dad, I'm home!" I yelled into the dark house. I wonder where in the world he is? I threw my bag down and walked into the kitchen. On the counter, there was a note from Charlie.
Bella,
I went with Billy to do some late night fishing and then we are going to his house for dinner. You are welcome to join.
Love,
Charlie
That's weird. I thought as I put the note in my pocket. I walked up to my room, half expecting Edward to be there, but to my utter surprise, he was not there yet. Why is everyone being so weird lately? I sat on my bed and eventually turned on some music. By the time Beethoven had come on, I was about to pass out, but I was going to wait until Charlie or Edward came home.
I took out my yearbook from this year and looked over everyone's pictures. Angela and Ben looked so happy together in their picture and when I got to Edward and my picture, I just stared in awe at his face. I had seen this picture over a million times, hearing people saying how cute we looked. When I looked at it though, all I saw was Edward's beautiful face staring at me. I looked so…average compared to him. Just like the first picture I took of him. Stunning.
I put the book away and then read the time. 11:35. Charlie had still not come home and Edward was no where to be found. I began to panic. Why were none of them home yet? I decided that I was going to go to Edward's house, just to make sure everyone was alright. I got my jacket and headed out the door, keys in hand.
The drive was tedious. I had no idea what I was going to say if Edward was there and he was with his family. Would I look too overprotective and clingy? I decided that maybe Edward did want to spend tie with his family, and I turned around. I'll go see Charlie. It wouldn't be weird if I went to check on him.
I drove to La Push thinking of Edward the entire way. It was kind of hard not to. Maybe he would come later? Or he just won't come at all? It's a free country…he can do as he pleases…I'm just being way too clingy. That's all.
When I got onto the road where Charlie lived, the sudden realization hit me. I would have to see Jacob. I groaned as I pulled into their driveway and grudgingly got out of my car.
The lights were on in the living room and I could hear Charlie's stern voice talking.
"--want her to leave. I know her mother loves her. But I do too. She had Bella for 17 years. What will a couple years away do to Renee?"
"I know, Charlie. Have you told Bella yet?" I heard Billy's voice try to comfort Charlie.
"Not entirely. She doesn't know all of it. I told her that it wasn't set in stone yet. But I just don't know if she could stand to be away from that Cullen boy."
"Those Cullens are bad news, Charlie. Nothing will come good out of hanging aroud a lot like that. They are a menace."
"They have been good so far…" Charlie tried to tell Billy, but he interrupted.
"No, They are trouble, I'm telling you. Charlie…What I am about to tell you can never leave this house, okay? Not even to Bella. Well, especially not to Bella."
Just before Billy was going to tell Charlie, Jacob appeared by my side.
"Hey Bella," he said to me.
"Oh, hi Jacob," I said, attempting to aviod eye contact. I tried to get passed him to go back to my truck, but his massive body blocked my way.
"Bella, I want to say sorry. I really am sorry." He said. And for a split second, I thought he actually meant it, but then my mind went back to what Edward said about Mike's plan.
"Jacob," I said, trying to be stern and serious," i accept your apology but I can't be friends with someone who doesn't except my family. We are a package deal. Edward and I are in love and no one can change it, not even you Jacob. So if you don't 'approve' of Edward, the it was nice knowing you," I walked off, feeling proud that I actually stuck up for myself. Jacob quickly followed me.
"He is bad news, Bella. Please, don't do this!"
"Do what Jacob? Be with someone I love? Do you want me to give up my life just for you?" I snapped at him as I fumbled with my keys.
"You wouldn't be giving up you life," he said coldly.
"Get it through you head!!! Edward is my life. Why do you want to ruin it for me? Better yet, why do you even care?" I was so close to tears as I was yelling angrily at Jacob.
"Because..." he studdered.
"Because what!!!" I screamed loudly.
"Because I love you damnit!" Jacob said furiously. By the look of it, he was getting too angry.
"Jake..." I breathed. I wiped a tear from my cheek. "You don't mean it."
"I mean it Bella. Ever since that bloodsucker left the first time, I knew you were too good for him. Why do you love him so much? Huh? He has hurt you so many times, yet you are still with him. I don't get you Isabella Swan. Don't lead someone on, and then when your lover boy comes back from hurting you again and then act as if we had nothing. Is that what I was? A rebound until the stupid vampire came back? I have and always will love you. I won't stop at anything. And that's promise."
"I wasn't using yo-- It wasn't like that. I'm sorry. I can't do this," I hopped into my truck quickly and left Jacob standing in the dark, awe struck. I sat in my truck as I drove, thinking about what had just happened. "Why do you love him so much, huh?" Jacob's words lingered in my mind. Why did I love Edward so muc? I couldn't possibly begin to explain. Why would I have to explain it to Jacob anyways? It wasn't any of his buisness...or was it?
I drove down the dark streets and tears continuously flowed down my cheeks. I wiped them away furiously. i was mad at Jacob, but most of all, I was mad at my self. How could I have led him on like that? He was right, I did lead him on. How could I let that happen? Was i really that lonley?
Still confused, i pulled into my driveway and turned off the ignition. What am I going to do? I thought as I sat in silence.
Time went by and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
My drea started off as a pleasant one, and soon turned into a nightmare.
I was in the meadow with Edward. we laid in each other's arms on the ground. no words were spoken, but we just lay there, staring into each other's eyes. His eyes were so full of mystery, it was like a deep profound abyss, that I had to explore. I found his eyes intriguing, and could get lost in them for hours.
He held my hand against his cold face and said, "Mon amour, I love you with all of my heart, body and soul. I am yours," he kissed my hand ever so elegantly and then smiled.
I opened my mouth to speak, but this was when my beautiful dream turned into a nightmare.
we heard growls in the distance and Edwad sheiled me protectivley, but from what, I did not know.
And then in the north end of the meadow, i saw it. Sam and his gang walking towards me and Edward.
"It's alright, they can't hurt us," Edward's velvet voice reasured me in my ear. for some reason, I wasn't so sure about that.
The first to speak was Edward. "May I help you gentlemen?" he asked politely, as if this was just a friendly chat.
"Help us?" Sam asked, "Why yes you could," he sneered as he looked to the other boys. Apparently they were speaking in their minds because Emery laughed and nodded to Jacob, when niether of them had spoken to being with.
"Wel then, what is it that I may assist you with?" Edward asked. i was amazed by how calm he stayed.
"Would you like the filed down request or the straight truth?"
"That depends on what they are." Edward said impatiently.
"Oh, it's just a simple request, I spose. Could you...die?" he said and with that, he pulled out a stake and drove it int Edward's eart so quickly that I wasn't quite sure what happened. "Yes, I spose you could. Thank you, dear Edward." All of them laughed and spat towards Edward's lifeless body.
"Edward No!!!!! Yo can't die! You said it was just a myth!" I screamed, holding his lifeless body.
"Myth?" Jacob spoke,"Ha, you are deluded." The rest of the boys laughed and closed in on me.
"Come on Bella, fight. Do something. Don't make this easy for us," Emery said.
"Yea, it wouldn't be very fun," Sam said.
I suddenly found myself amonst three werewolves, all staring at me with their beedy little eyes.
