I know it been a little while. I have had some things going on that I couldn't update as fast as I could. I am trying to write faster so I can update sooner. And I don't own twilight. Just my ideas in the story and the characters I add. :) songs for this Chapter is #6 Who Says- Selena Gomez, #7 Whip My Hair- Willow Smith , #8 It's Not Me it's You- Skillet, #9 Savior- Skillet. #8 and 9 go with the part where Edward confronts her at her house. You will see where I am talking about when you get there :)
Chapter 3- It's Not Me it's You
(EPOV)
"Damn! Alice was right. She has seen barely anything of Bella's future with me anymore! And to make it worse she is blocking me again! I want to know about her! I have not seeing her at her house for a while now since we came home! I barely even see Charlie there. Fine I'll just have to go into the woods and see if I can see anything about her in the wolves' minds." I say in my mind pacing my room. I walk over to the open doors on the side of my room. I look out. "I will have her back! She is mine!" I yell in my head. I look down at the ring in my hand that she thrown back at me. I pick my head up as I hear Jasper coming towards my room. I jump out the doors and take off into the words and I head for the treaty line to see what I can hear.
(JPOV)
We slept in more then I wanted to. I open my eyes and look beside me and I see no Bella. I quickly sit up looking around. I grab my boxers and some basketball shorts and throw them on as I listen to see if I hear a heartbeat in the house. I hear one, I sigh hearing that it's hers. I walk out of the bedroom and towards the kitchen and I see my Bella at the counter making something to eat, lunch probably. I see she has my shirt on that I gave her. I smile seeing that it's my black football shirt from school with my last name stretched across that back of her shoulders in bright white letters. I watch her float around the kitchen. Singing to her iPod plugged into a small radio. I stand there and listen to her for a minute.
"I wouldn't wanna be anybody else.
You made me insecure
Told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else
Na na na
Na na na
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
Na na na
Na na na
You've got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon
Who says
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me
That's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It's like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky
Na na na
Na na na
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
Na na na
Na na na
You've got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon
Who says
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me
That's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
Who says you're not start potential
Who says you're not presidential
Who says you can't be in movies
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don't pass the test
Who says you can't be the best
Who said, who said
Won't you tell me who said that
Yeah, oh"
I stand there very impressed by her voice. The voice of an angel and I agree with the song. I walk over to her and I wrap my arms around her. "Hey Beautiful." I say in her ear and she jumps almost dropping the cup in her hand. " I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I kiss her cheek.
"It's ok I was off in my own world anyways." She smiles and turns in my arms to face me. "How long where u standing there?" she asks her face getting red.
"Long enough and you sounded amazing beautiful" I tell her.
"I'm not that beautiful" she says.
"I think you should listen to the words of that song again hun cause it's true who says your not? Cause I say you are" I smile and kiss her.
"Now I have made lunch for us then I need to go and see Alice. Before you ask no Edward is NOT going to be there I already made sure of it. But I need to run a few other places as well." She says as she pulls away and places the sandwiches on the table and I go and grab to sodas from the fridge and I sit down. I look at the table and I see a news paper with circles around a few things and a bunch of other papers scattered all over the one side where it looks like she was sitting.
"But I just got you back." I complain
"I am coming back Jake I just want to see her. I haven't seen her since I left the first time. Plus she wants to talk to me" She smiles, grabs a sandwich and goes back to looking at the mess of papers.
"Ok well don't be gone too long. And Bells, what is all that?" I say.
"Well since I am back I have been looking into getting a job and I am going to started some college classes while I was…away and I have my transfer papers here so I can turn them in and get everything figured out. After I talk to Alice I am going to look into the jobs, and run to the college and then ill be back here." She explains as she picks up her phone tapping the screen a few times and I think now sending a text to someone.
"Ok just be careful ok." I tell her finishing my 3rd sandwich. "What does Alice want to talk to you about?"
"Well like I told you she hasn't seen me since I first left and I am sure it's just to catch up. Always is anyways." She says.
(BPOV)
I gather all my papers and the news paper from the table as I finish eating.
"I just don't want to be away from you too long." Jake says.
I smile, "You will be fine for a little while with out me, besides I want this stuff done as soon as possible." I get up and put my dishes in the sink about to wash them.
"I'll wash them hun since you made lunch." He says taking my hand before I can grab the soap.
"Ok," I smile and I kiss him once on the lips and I walk back to the twins' old room and I grab my clothes and walk into Jake's room. I set the clothes on his bed and I reach for the bottom of his shirt I have on but before I can pull it up I feel two strong, warm arms wrap around me.
"You can't stay a little longer?" Jakes says as he covers my neck and side of my face with light butterfly kisses.
"Hmm as much as I want to I have to get going hun." I say leaning back into his chest a little. He continues to kiss my neck. "Jake I love this but if you don't stop I'll never be able to leave."
"Hmm that's the point." He smiles.
"Really Jake the sooner I get all this done the sooner I can come back." I tell him turning in his arms to face him.
He sighs, "Fine but hurry back." I smile and I kiss him and I walk back over to the clothes and change. I put on faded jeans, a black and pink tank top, with a black zip up hoodie with stars all over it, with a pair of my black Vans. I go into the bathroom and I dry my still wet hair from when I took a shower before Jake got up. It dries into long loose curls. I brush my teeth then apply a little black eyeliner and highlight my eyes with a little shadow and a touch of lip gloss. I step back and look at mirror. I smile and think to myself since when did I start liking pink again? I silently laugh to myself. I guess it just looks better with black and probably thank Alice. I walk out of the bathroom and grab my purse and keys and I walk out into the kitchen and set my stuff on the table. I look over into the living room to see Jake moping on the couch and I laugh.
"Hun I'll be back before you know it." I walk over and kiss him. "I promise"
"Ok just hurry back" he says. He looks at me. "Since when did you like pink?" he asks with a smile.
"I don't know, what you don't like it?" I say.
"No no I like it just not use to it. But it looks good." He smiles.
"Ok good. Well I will see you in a little while ok" I kiss him once more and I walk over and grab my papers and my purse and keys. I walk to the door about to walk out.
"Hey Bells?" I hear Jake say.
I peek back in the door. "Yes Jake?"
"I love you" he says with my Jacob smile.
I can't help but blush and smile, "I love you too" I walk back out and to my car. I start it up and I get a text back from Leah.
"Just come to my house when you're done and we will go up to the College-Lee"
"Ok see you soon- Bells"
With that I take off and I drive to the Cullen's house.
(APOV)
I sit in the house waiting for Bella and praying the Edward stays away for while like I saw. I hear a car but it doesn't sound like Bella's old truck she use to have. I get up and walk to the door to see Bella getting out of a shiny very impressive black mustang.
"BELLA!" I say excited as ever to see her. She runs to me and hugs me tight, which isn't much to me but still.
"Oh Alice I have missed you!" she says.
"I missed you too." We separate. "So when did you get this?" I point to the car and I notice her clothes, "and since when do you wear pink?" I smile excited about that.
She smiles "Well Charlie got this for me since the truck died, and Jake rebuilt it. As for the pink well I think I have you to thank for that but I found I like it better when its pink mixed with black."
"BELLA!" we hear someone yell from behind us as Emmet comes to her picking her up in a hug.
"Need…to…breathe…Em…" she squeaks out. He lets go of her.
"Sorry and why do you smell like a dog Baby Bella?" he says and I try not to laugh.
"Gee thanks Em nice to see you too" she says sarcastically.
"Bella!" Esme walks over and hugs her, "It's so good to see you again.
"Yes Bella we have missed seeing you around." Carlisle says appearing beside Esme giving Bella a hug too.
Rosalie walks over and shocks Bella by giving her a hug. "Yes it is nice to see you again Bella." She smiles at her.
"Thanks Rosalie." Bella says with a smile.
"Hello Bella" Jasper says giving her a hug as well. I smile happy.
"Hi Jasper." She replies.
I'm about to say something when I stop starring off getting a vision. I see a very angry Edward coming back way earlier then expected for some reason. I snap out of it.
"Ok Bella lets go, uh Edward is going to be coming back very soon and I don't want him to know you are here." I say grabbing her arm and walking with her to her car.
"By the way I love the car Bella!" Emmet Yells as he goes to walk inside.
"Thanks" she says getting in and starting it.
"Ok I love it more now!" Emmet yells again causing her to laugh. I get in on the other side and we leave.
"Where should we go?" she asks.
"Well I don't you have some things to do today?" I ask
"Yes, I have a few jobs to go look at. But how did you know? Thought you couldn't see me?" she asks.
"I can only when you are alone and away from them." I answer.
She goes to both jobs which I notice are at dance studios. One in Forks and one in Port Angeles. "Hmm I didn't know Bella could dance as clumsy as she is" I get a small vision and I snap out of it as Bella walks out of the building. I smile and she gets back into the car.
"What?" she asks starting the car up.
"Oh nothing just you will be very happy soon." I tell her.
"What did you see?" she asks again.
"I saw you get a phone call and you were excited and then the vision cut out like when you are with the wolves." I tell her.
"Oh that might be because Leah and I will be going to the College with me." She says, "And I need to get over to her house now."
"Ok well I'll ride with you to the treaty line and then run home." She nods and we head there. "I didn't know you could dance Bella" I tell her.
"Yeah its one of the few things that I found I can do with out falling over nothing." She says and we both laugh and catch up on our way to the treaty line.
(JPOV)
While Bella is gone I show and head out to the woods and I phase. I run a little bit thinking about my imprint and last night with her. Then I quickly realize that Seth, Embry and Quil are all phased too.
"Wow didn't think I would ever see that much of Bella!"- Quil
Damn I growl
"I didn't know that you imprinted on Bella! Did you tell her yet?"-Seth ignores Quil.
"Uh…No I didn't tell her yet."- Jake
"Well why not?"- Seth
"Just haven't found the right time yet."-Jake
"Man I can't believe u had sex with Bella last night!"-Quil
"I didn't have sex with her dumbass. I made love to her!" I corrected, "And DO NOT repeat this to anyone! Cause Bella doesn't know about the imprint!"
"Yeah yeah we know."- Quil
"So when did you imprint on her? And did you tell Sam?"-Embry
"Yes I told Sam and well…when I first saw her that first weekend she came back to visit." I show them the day and when it happened when I pulled her out of the car.
"Well you need to tell her soon you know bro. It's not good to wait. Cause if someone slips and says you imprinted she might take it the wrong way."-Embry.
"I know don't worry I will."
(EPOV) *meanwhile during the conversation*
I pace the treaty line listening for the wolves. I start to hear one, well the conversation between Seth, Quil, Embry and… Jacob. I see him and Bella in his thoughts.
"Wow didn't think I would ever see that much of Bella!"- Quil
"I didn't know that you imprinted on Bella! Did you tell her yet?"-Seth ignores Quil.
"Uh…No I didn't tell her yet."- Jake
"Well why not?"- Seth
"Just haven't found the right time yet."-Jake
He imprinted on her? NO! Not Possible! She is mine! I listen more.
"Man I can't believe u had sex with Bella last night!"-Quil
"I didn't have sex with her dumbass. I made love to her!" I corrected, "And DO NOT repeat this to anyone! Cause Bella doesn't know about the imprint!"
"Yeah yeah we know."- Quil
"So when did you imprint on her? And did you tell Sam?"-Embry
"Yes I told Sam and well…when I first saw her that first weekend she came back to visit."
"WHAT! MADE LOVE TO MY BELLA!" I mentally yell at myself. "NO! I was supposed to do that with her! I was supposed to live forever with her!"
Very pissed I continue to listen. I see the day he imprinted on her." It was when she was still with me away from him! I knew I didn't want her near him! I knew I should have turned her when she first asked! Oh don't worry I will take care of this!" I yell in my head then I hear one of them.
"Hey wait I smell a bloodsucker! A Cullen Close to the treaty line!"-Embry
I turn and take off back to my family's house and I jump back through the window into my room. I listen for Alice and see she isn't here good. I start planning how to get Bella back …today.
(BPOV)
Alice and I arrive at the treaty line and I look at her.
"Don't worry Bella you will see me again soon." She smiles and I hug her, "Be Safe Bella."
"I will bye Alice." I smile and then before I know it she is gone. I head back on the road and to Leah's house. I pull in her drive way and get out of the car and my phone rings. I stand there in the driveway and I look at the number and I don't know it I just answer it.
"Hello?"
"Yes Hello is this Bella Swan?"
"Yes this is…"
"This is Stacey Collins from Twilight Dance Studio in Forks. I just wanted to call you and congratulate you because you got the job for our head Hip/Hop dance instructor."
"Oh my God! Really?" I say excited.
"Yes we were so impressed by your skills and interview and that you will also be taking more classes for it as well, that we didn't want to hesitate and wanted to give you the job. We would love to have you work with us. Can you come in say next Monday at 1:00 and fill out the paperwork?"
"Yes defiantly!" I answer.
"Great! I can't wait to have you working for us!"
"I can't wait either!"
"Ok see you on Monday Bella!"
"Ok good-bye"
"Bye"
We hang up and I see that I missed a call. I start to walk to Leah's door excited already and I call my voice mail. And I stop dead hearing the message.
"Hi this is Kayla Danver from Skyline Dance in Port Angeles for Bella Swan. I want to call and say congratulations you go got the job for the head of our hip/hop dance department and head instructor. We are also a sister school to Twilight Dance in Forks which means you are head of the department for here and there. We were VERY impressed with your skills and interview. And love that you want to continue your education a well. Come on in on Monday, hm probably around our evening class at 6:00pm to fill out your paper work. Again congratulations and I can't wait to have you working for us. See you Monday at 6 PM."
I start jumping a little very excited now and don't realize Leah come out.
"You know I said to text me when you were here and you have been in my drive way for like 15 mins now and haven't come to the door. Why?" she asks walking over to me.
I look at her. "I got the jobs!"
"What?" she says confused.
"The dance studios I told you about in the texts that I was applying for. I got both of them! They are sister studios and am Head of the hip/hop dance department and head instructors for both!" I stay jumping up and down again in one place.
"AH! OH MY GOD!" she says hugging me jumping with me. "I'm so happy for you! Now let's get the college stuff done!" she drags me to my car and we get in and take off. "Soo how was your might with Jake?" she smiles winking at me.
"Well you know …amazing "we laugh. The song 'Whip my Hair' come on the radio. "Oh I love this song!" she turns it up singing to it and dancing around. "This song would be perfect for you to make a dance to!" she adds
"Yeah it would. You should help me" I smile singing with her. We drive to the college. We go in and I get all my transfer papers processed while Leah signs some things for her self. We go over to the computers there and register for our classes. Leah decides to take classes with me that way it will be easier if either of us needs help with something. We pick Dance I & II, Hip/Hop I, Choreography, and for fun a Zumba class. Basic English, a literature class and drawing/Painting.
"I can't draw so maybe this will help me" Leah says. We both laugh. We get up get our ID cards then leave. We stop at a cell phone store so I can take myself off Edwards plan. I sign up for my own.
"Hey Leah does Jake still have that crappy prepaid phone?" I ask
"Yeah I think so Why?" she says.
"Cause I'm going to add him so he can stop wasting money on it and put the money towards that garage he wants" I say and I add him to the list and I get him touch screen phone with a keyboard like mine. I pay for a few months so it holds us off till I start my job. We walk back out to the car and Leah looks at me.
"Can I drive please!" she begs
I sigh, "Fine" I hand her the keys. She runs like a little girl in a candy store around the car and into the driver's seat. I shake me head and I get in. "Don't break my car."
"Don't worry I wont." She says and we take off back towards La Push.
"Hey what you think about getting an apartment? You know since we will be starting college and my dad and your mom are going to be getting married why not?" I say.
"That actually sounds like a great idea. I'll look into that." She says.
"Cool. Oh hey can you stop at my dad's house in Forks? I need to grab my laptop and a few things." I say
"Ok" she says and head for Forks. We pull up in front of the house. "I have to check in real fast so you get what you need I'll be right here house side the house ok." She says getting out handing me my keys.
"Ok that's fine." I say and I get out. She takes off into the trees. I take off my hoodie since it's actually nice again and I leave it in my car. I walk towards the house and unlock the door. I go inside and up to my room. I grab my laptop and a few extra items of clothes, my dance bag and all my dance things. I head back down, lock the door and I walk to my car. I put my things in the back seat of my car. I turn and look towards the woods for Leah not seeing her yet. I turn back and I freeze seeing Edward stand before me.
"Where have you been?" he says angrily
"Out! Getting things I needed done! Not like it's any of you're business anyways!" I snap at him with my sudden braveness. He grabs my arm hard brusing it.
"You haven't called me or anything!" He yells, "Why haven't you been here? You know in your house! Been busy screwing around with the dog?" I stand there shocked as to how he knew about that. "I told you to stay of the Rez.! You're the one that made us like this! You're the one that made us fall apart! You're the one that made me like this! Why where you on the Rez!" he screams in my face it just fuels my own anger at him.
"Cause I want to be! And it's not me Edward! It's you! Always has been! You try and control me! You hurt me in many ways! You made me this way! You made me want to leave you! ALL OF IT IS YOUR FAULT! I don't belong to you! I don't EVER want to be like you! Your family, they are not monsters but YOU are! I have found where my heart was and always will be! And it's NOT with you! So you don't need know where I have been and why I have been there! Cause it's none of your business! Did you not get the message when I threw the ring back at you! Huh!" I scream at him. His eyes are black and her hits me in the face knocking me to the ground a bit hard scraping up my arm a bit.
"Thought you would have leaned by now Bella!" he looks down at me and kneels down by me and I see my staring at something on me on my neck I think. Not sure what though. He reaches his ice cold hands down to my neck and touches it and yells pulling his hand away like he was burns or something. He looks at his hand then my neck. I realize that he touched where Jake was bit on my neck last night. "So you did screw the dog didn't you!" he yells. I don't answer him. "Well don't worry love I'll be fixing this little problem now!" he grabs my arm and pulls it close to his mouth like James had done so long ago. "Should have done this long ago when you first asked me!
"No! Stop!" I scream seeing him bare his fangs about to bite me.
(LPOV) *when she first phased as Bella went inside*
"Hey anything new going on?"- Leah
"No Nothing sis." Seth
"Why are you by Bella's house?"-Jake
"Bella needed some things after we got back from the college."- Leah
"Oh ok"-Jake
I hear yelling.
"WTF is that?"-Jake
I walk to the edge of the woods and I see Bella and Edward. She is screaming at him and then he hits her knocking her into the ground hard a few feet in front of him.
"DID HE SERIOUSLY JUST HIT MY GIRLFRIEND!"-Jake
I see that he is about to bit her knowing everyone sees it I phase and dress faster then ever and I run out of the woods
"Get the Hell away from the damn sister leech!" I scream I start shaking violently he drops her hand and stands up crouching down facing me.
"Sister? Yeah ok coming from the one who hates her" he says.
"Try again asshole! She is my sister!" I think of my mom and her dad in my mind. He looks at me then at her. Then he stops anger taking over his face again and he looks at Bella.
"You told her! After I told you what would happen if you told anyone!" he snaps at her
"Get out of my head!" I yell getting closer to them wanting to get Bella away from him.
He grabs Bella and pulls her to his face, "I will get you for this and you will mine. Always mine! I always get my way trust me!" he drops her back on the ground as he sees a growling Jake flanked by Embry, Quil, and Seth. He takes off running through the woods and all of them take off after him. I run to Bella.
"Bella are you ok?" I look at her. Her wrist is bruised and she has cuts all down her one arm from her shoulder to her elbow.
"Yeah…I think so." She says as I help her up
"Come one I need to get you to Emily." I tell her I run into her house and I grab an old small towel and I wrap it around her arm so she doesn't get blood in her car. I help her in the car and I take off quickly getting to Emily's. I drag her out of the car and quickly inside.
"Hi girls…" Emily starts to say then she sees Bella and jumps up and runs over to us" Oh My God! What happened!" she says getting Bella to sit in a kitchen chair. I notice my mom is there behind Emily as well. I look at her scared for her dad to see this. "Don't worry he is at work." She answers my fears.
"It was Edward that got to her. I was checking in with the guys as she went into her house to get some things quickly. I didn't even smell him or anything. I don't think he had hunted in days." I explain
"What's going on? Bella? Are you ok?" Sam runs into the room. Bella just nods her head to him and she looks at me wanting me to continue as Emily and my mom clean her up.
"Well I heard yelling and I ran to the edge of the woods and saw him yell at her and she screamed at him then he hit her. Then he almost bit her till I yelled at him." I finish.
"Was anyone else there?" Sam asks.
"Embry, Quil, Seth and Jake were all phased. They all followed Jake and went after him." I tell him.
"What did he say to you Bella?" Sam asks kneeling down next to her. He has become like a very protective older brother to Bella.
"He was yelling at me as to why I haven't been at the house and why I was here on the Rez after he told me not to. I screamed back at him and told him that i'm not his its not his business what I do or where I am at and thought he got the point when I threw the ring at him. He hit me and knocked me to the ground and then he was starring at something on my neck I think and then he touched it and pulled his hand away yelling in pain like something burned him. But I don't know how that is possible but then he said he was going to fix this problem now then he was going to bite me. I screamed no then Leah yelled and after that …He…He said that…he will get me… and I was his…right before he ran then dropped me to the ground again…"Bella says to him. He hugs her and I go to her other side.
"I won't let that happen Bella." He tells her.
"Neither will I and sure as hell neither will Jake" I add.
She nods and she looks at my mom. "Please don't tell me dad." She says.
My mom takes her hand, "don't worry sweetie I don't plan on it." She smiles at her.
Bella looks at me, "Can you take me back to Jake's?"
"Yeah" I help her up
She looks at Emily, "Thanks Emily"
She smiles back, "No problem Bella"
She is still shaking and I hug her. "Don't worry Bella."
"Yeah you're safe here." Sam adds.
I take Bella outside to her car and I drive her to the Blacks. We both get out and I hug her again. "Text me later if you want ok. Go rest you need it." She nods hugging me. She walks away and I go and run home.
(BPOV)
I walk inside the house and I see Billy in the living room.
"Hi Bella…What happened?" he asks looking worried
"…Edward found me when I stopped at my house…I'm ok. I am just going to go lay down. Can you…uh…tell Jake I am in his room when ever he gets back." I say.
"Sure Bella. Go rest." He says
I give him a sad smile and I run off to Jake's room and I lay in his bed. A few minutes later Jake comes in.
"Bells?" his voice laced with worry. He walks over to the bed and knees down in front of me. Tears streaming down my face I open my eyes and see him and I jump up into his arms. If he wasn't as strong I would have knocked me flat on the floor. I hold onto him tight. He wraps his arms around me. "Baby why didn't you tell me he hit you? I mean I knew all those bruises weren't accidents Bells. You could have just told me hunny."
"I was scared and he threatened me if I were to tell anyone about it." I cry more. He picks me up in his arms and sits on the bed, his back resting against the headboard and holds me to his chest. "I'm sorry I lied Jake! I'm so sorry! I was just so scared!" I cry into his bare chest.
"Shhh it's ok now. I've got you. You're safe in my arms baby don't worry." He says gently running his fingers in my hair and on my back calming me.
(JPOV)
I just sit there and hold her close to me as she cries. Running my fingers in her hair and on her back seems to be calming her fast. I'll have to remember that. She eventually falls asleep. I lean my head back against the headboard. Thinking. How could she not tell me? I would have protected her no mater what. I swear when I find that bloodsucker ill shred him to pieces. I start to shake a little then I look down seeing Bells and I calm down instantly. I see her face still all red and her eyes puffy tear streaks dried down her cheeks. How could anyone what to hurt something so precious? I look up heading my dad roll into the doorway. He looks at me and sees her asleep in my arms and nods understanding and shuts the door. He rolls off and I hear his bedroom door shut. I shift her to one side and carefully put her on the bed and I lay next to her pulling a sheet over us slightly. I wrap my arms back around her falling asleep after while.
I wake up in the morning to see Bella still fast asleep in my arms. I smile and slide carefully away from her. She moves a little but doesn't wake up she just grabs my pillow and cuddles up to it. I smile even more. God this girl is just too adorable. I silently walk out of the room and to the bathroom.
I go out the back door to go and check in with my Beta, Sam if he found any traces of Edward. I go to the woods and phase
"Morning Jake. How is Bella?"-Sam
"I think better now. She is still asleep. She cried herself to sleep in my arms last night."-Jake
"Yeah I bet. I haven't found anything of him anywhere. We will need to inform the Cullen's about what he has done cause I don't think they know."-Sam
"Ok would you mind doing that for me? I need to talk to Bella to find out about what all happened and why he did what he did."-Jake
"Sure oh and this is what you missed at my house yesterday. And there is one thing i'm finding a bit interesting."-Sam
He shows me everything that went on at his house. And I see what he is talking about when Bella mentions Edward being burned by something on her neck. I think quick to what that would be.
"Did you mark Bella?"-Sam
"Um…I think I...may have and not realized it. Are you saying that is what burned him?"-Jake
"I think so."-Sam
"Did anything like this happen with Emily? Like anything weird with marking her?-Jake
"No when I talked to her she touched her and said it doesn't feel warm to her at all. Cause it seems hers feels warm to anyone that isn't one of us and it would burn a bloodsucker if it was touched. Emily notices and when cleaning up Bella she touched it and it was hot. Might want to talk to your dad about that."-Sam
"Ok I will but go talk to the Cullen's I need to get to Bella."-Jake
"Ok talk to you later."-Sam
I run off and phase and I walk back into the house
I walk out and see my dad sitting in the kitchen. I grab a glass of water.
"How is Bella?" he asks.
"I think she is ok. I still need to talk to her about everything yesterday." I say
"So what exactly happened?" he asks as he sips his coffee. I explain everything I saw in Leah's mind and what I saw when I got to the edge of the woods. And then how we chased him. "So just like you thought he really was hitting her?"
"Yeah she said he threatened her if she were to tell anyone so she was scared to tell me." I say
"I see." He says, "Have you told her about the imprint yet."
I sigh, "…No and right now isn't a good time considering what happened yesterday. I will tell her don't worry dad. "I get up and I make some eggs and toast for dad, Bells and I. "…uh dad I have a well… weird question to ask… about something Sam showed me this morning about something Bella said yesterday."
"Ok and what was that?" he asks
I explain to him everything feeling a bit uncomfortable telling my dad I marked my girlfriend/imprint when making love to her. And what it did to the leech.
"Hmm I'll look into that for you. Don't worry about it just go take care of Bella." He says
I get some apple juice and put the food on a plate for her. I look at my dad. "And don't tell Charlie about this."
"I won't son." He says. I walk back to my room and set the food down on the bedside table and I sit on the bed next to her. I lightly shake her.
"Bells, Sweetheart wake up."
She moves, "…What time is it?" she asks sleepily into my pillow.
"It's almost noon" I tell her. She sits up wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "I made you some eggs and toast. After I want to take a walk on the beach if that is ok?" I push some hair out of her eyes.
"Ok" she smiles. I smile back and I kiss her head and I get up and go out of the room leaving her to eat. I go out and eat my food and take a quick shower. I come out dressed to see Bella in the kitchen putting her dishes in the sink dressed.
"You ready to go for that walk." She asks. I nod and take her hand and we walk down to the beach. We walk along the water and find our bench and sit down on it. I go to open my mouth to say something to her but she beats me too it.
"I know what you're going to say. I know I should have told you when you first asked me about my cuts and bruises my first weekend here. I'm sorry."
"It's ok Bells I just hate that you didn't try to tell me some how so I could have protected you. I'm not mad at you. I just could have saved you from him a lot sooner and kept him from hurting you. I don't understand how he could have hurt something so precious." I lightly touch her face. She moves closer to me wrapping her arms around me and cuddling into my side. "He will never hurt you again Bells." I wrap my arms around her.
"I love you Jake" she says.
"I love you too Bells" I smile and lean my head against the top of hers.
Ok there is Chapter 3! Chapter 4 is about done it should be up in a day or so.
