Twilight Fan-fiction: It was your Fault
Chapter 3
I was on my way to Jake's house, going slowly so that my truck wouldn't break down on me. In the time that I had started to hang out with vampires, so now, I've grown to love speed. So the slowness of this stupid truck was starting to kill me.
I didn't want to use any of my money to get a new car because that would risk me having to either work overtime, or me not being able to move out right after graduation because I would have to save up the money again that I had used.
I reached Jake's house within 20 minutes. Usually it only took about 10. There was and unfamiliar car parked in my usual spot by the house, so I parked next to it slightly closer to the forest. I wondered who would be parking in my spot. I got out of the trucks cab and walked up to the door. I knocked three times and waited. Billy answered the door.
"Hey Billy." I said smiling to him.
"Hi Bella ." he said grinning back. "JAKE!" Jakes head peaked around the corner to see why his dad was yelling to him. He saw me and a big grin lit up his face.
"BEEELLLAAAA" he called and rushed over to scoop me up in a giant, rib crushing hug that picked me up off my feet.
"Hey Jake… need-to-breath." I choked out. He chuckled and let go of me letting me drop back onto my feet. "Jeez you look a little too excited about something to just be seeing me." I said watching as his figure basically bounced in excitement.
"Aw Bella, What I can't be excited to see you?" He asked pouting. I playfully punched him in the arm, not so hard I hurt myself though.
"I would say yes but your way to excited about something. Now spill. What happened?" I asked him.
"Well why don't you guess." he told me.
"Hmmmm. Paul finally stopped challenging you to fights?" I guessed.
"Nope, but that would be amazing if he would. Its getting annoying and he's never going to win anyway." Jake said smugly.
"Just tell meeeee." I said in my best whiny voice I could pull off.
"Fine. Oh and come in by the way." he said stepping aside. I walked in and plopped down on the couch in the living room. "OK so I was walking around Port Angeles yesterday and I saw her." he told me in a rushed voice.
"Who's her?" I asked confused.
"You know how Sam is with Emily and they have this unbreakable bond thing going on?" I nodded. Sam explained the imprinting process to me a couple days after I found out what they are. Then it clicked.
"Wait!" I looked at him with wide eyes. He nodded. "OH MY GOD JAKE! Did you actually imprint?!" I asked him a huge smile splitting across my face. He nodded happily eyes twinkling. I was so happy for him, I jumped up and gave him a big hug. "Thats great Jake, who is she?"
"Well actually she's a vampire." He said looking down. I was surprised. He hated vampires yet he looked so excited. A smile carved itself back on his face in a matter of seconds. "But that doesn't matter. The point is I love her and she's here to stay." He said. I smiled at him.
"That's great Jake, is she here now?" He nodded his head and shrugged towards the bedroom.
"Well introduce us." I said getting up and playfully bumping him with my shoulder as I passed towards his bedroom.
I stopped dead in my tracks. Selena. She stood there by Jakes bedroom door smiling smugly at me.
"Bella this is Selena. Selena this is Bella." Jake said passing me to go stand by her. He was just slightly taller then her standing side by side. I just stood there glaring at her. "Bella?" Jake asked getting a little uncomfortable. I just shook my head and turned to walk away. "Wait! What's wrong?" he asked jumping forward grabbing my forearm to stop me.
"Jake do you know that bitch I told you about that Fuckterd left me for." I asked him turning my head towards him. He nodded confused. "Thats her." I said nodding to the bitch. Jake froze, bewildered.
"W-wait… I thought they… aren't they like… mates? If he left you for her shouldn't they be like true mates or something?" Jake asked refusing to believe that this was her.
"I guess not." I said shrugging out of his grip. I looked up at him with sad eyes. If he had really imprinted on her, then she was here to stay.
"Aww did I steal your boyfriend again?" Selena asked in a mock sorry voice.
"Selena-"
"Jake" she interrupted him. "Don't try and defend her." she said in a commanding voice. Jake looked back and fourth between me and her looking completely torn. I turned to leave again.
"Bella?" Jake called. I turned my head to him slowing to a stop.
"Hmm?" I asked
"Are you free tomorrow so we could talk then?" He asked me. I opened my mouth to answer but Selena cut me off.
"I don't think so." she said, and she cut Jake off before he could say anything back. "I don't want you to see her again, or I'll leave you. And I'll know if you do." she stated simply. Jake's face fell completely and he turned to me with the safest expression I've ever seen him wear.
I knew he wouldn't fight her. Imprints are capable to leave their mated pair but Jake would quite literally die without her. He would find no more meaning in the world and rather kill himself then live even a day longer. I didn't want this but I had no choice. I wouldn't risk Jakes relationship or rather his life for my selfish need.
With a single tear rolling down my cheek I looked down unable to look at his expression anymore.
"Bye Jake." I muttered and ran out the door before I could breakdown. Jake made to run after me but Selena grabbed his arm and shook her head. He looked at me as I left ready to cry himself.
LINE BREAK
Like usual, it was raining buckets. In my rush to get away from Jake I pushed my truck to it's limit and it broke down for the last time, black smoke beginning to fill both the air inside and around the cab. I got out coughing slightly to clear my lungs. I looked to my truck. There's no way that's ever going to work again.
Sighing and already completely soaked, I started walking in the direction of my house. I walked for about 5 minuets before I saw a familiar car in the distance. A silver Volvo. Dread filled me for a second before it pulled up next to me and Alice rolled down the window.
"Get in." She said. You don't have to tell me twice. I speed walked to the passenger side door and climbed in. This is Fuckwards' car, I don't really care how wet I am right now. Ugh that sounded horrible in my mind. Stupid Emmet. He's wearing off on me. "Hey." Alice said with a smile. "guess what?"
"Hm?" I hummed in acknowledgement not really in the mood to guess. Her smile got wider.
"Selena's gone." She stated expecting me to be cheered up significantly by the news. But my face just fell all over again. She looked over at me and her smile was almost immediately wiped from her face, eyebrows puckered in confusion.
"Ya, I know." I said simply. She just looked even more confused at this so I explained, "Jacob imprinted on her. So ya she is, but so is he."
Tears were starting to gather in my eyes again. I didn't want to break down in front of her. I hate feeling weak. She pulled her car over and hugged me. It took all my control not to just cry into her like I wanted to. We sat their in complete silence neither of us moving until Alice's phone beeped. she leaned back again and smiled at me.
"It'll be ok." She told me before she looked down at her phone. "We should go." she said "Carlisle wants to have a family meeting. Edwards in a depressed state that is about as bad as you were the first day." I nodded. She started driving again completely passing the turn off to the street that lead to my house.
"Wait where-?"
"You are just as much part of this family as everybody else Bella, you have a right to join us." she explained. I smiled up at her. I loved this family so much.
Well… most of it anyway.
