Just to answer some of the questions Lexi asked me in her review, for those of you who haven't read "New Moon" from the Twilight Saga before you read this, Edward Cullen leaves Bella Swan because he doesn't want any of his family (including himself) to hurt her. As I wrote, Bella thinks that Rosalie is being nice to her because she wants her answers about her brother's whereabouts. You can infer about that. And I don't know, was that Edward's eyes she saw? You guys tell me what you think, and what you want to happen and I'll find a way to add most of it in. Oh and thank you for adding this as one of your favorites!!! =D
Edward did walk me into the house, but Charlie wasn't home so he had to make his own excuse to leave. I went up to my room and waited very impatiently for him to come to me. I made sure the window was all the way open, and then I made my bed.
As I was sitting down in front of my computer, two hands were suddenly on my waist. I gasped, he moved around like a ghost. I turned with a smile to great my beautiful angel, and nearly screamed in surprise. How did I not notice Edward's hands were too big? I starred up into the nearly seven foot tall teenager standing over me grinning wildly.
"Hello Bella." He said suppressing a laugh.
"What the hell!" I could barely find my voice, but still, how me is it to say something stupid. This isn't the guest I was looking forward to seeing.
"Calm down." He said putting his hands up in surrender. Jacob moved over to my bed and took a seat at the edge, and motioned with his hand for me to join him. I followed, stumbling over my chair. He laughed, "Bella you are such a klutz."
I rolled my eyes in response. "Jacob what are you doing here?" I said in an exasperated tone.
He looked slightly hurt. "I just wanted to say hi. Is that ok? Or is your leech going to have to kill me?"
I shrugged. "He won't kill you." And then quietly I added, "Not right now anyways." I looked down at my hands again trying not to cry.
"What happened?" Jake said getting to his feet. "What did he do?"
"He saved my life, again." I didn't look up. "Things are," I paused while I searched for the right word. "Tense right now."
Jacob looked suddenly pale as he sat down beside me. "You were in danger today?"
I had to change the subject before Jacob did anything stupid. "Hey Jake, why don't you come here officially? Charlie will be home soon? Come down stairs." I knew Edward wouldn't come anyways as long as my werewolf friend was here.
"Uhm, yea, sure Bells." He said almost inaudibly.
He took my hand subconsciously, and walked to the stairs where he stopped and turned to face me.
"Bella, what did he save you from?" He said each word carefully so that I wouldn't try to back my way out of this.
"Uhm, can we talk about this later Jake?" I asked. I didn't want him going all doggy in my house. Charlie wasn't supposed to know about his phasing.
He looked at me with narrowed eyes. "I don't think so Bella. If there's a problem I think Sam should know. Besides, do you really think I'm going to let a group of bloodsuckers be responsible for you? I think I have a right to look out for you too, being your best friend and all." He grinned widely.
I sighed in defeat. "Ok, fine." I said trying to keep my tone casual. "Well, I went to Edwards's house, and I got a paper cut." He would believe that.
He snorted, he knew me too well. "Come on Bella, this is serious."
"Ugh, Jacob. Don't freak out ok?" I waited for his answer. It didn't look like I was going to get one. "My finger started bleeding and-"
"They attacked you!?" He shouted. He got to his feet shivering, hands balled up into fists.
"Uhm, well, Jasper did. But Edward stopped him. No one touched me." I said it all in a rush, trying to get him to calm down and realize nothing was wrong."
"Then what's wrong with your arm?" Oh, wow. I really needed to get better at this whole lying thing.
"I fell."
"Bella, I don't like you hanging around with them." He didn't look at me while he said this. "Hey, don't be mad. I'm not saying I'm stopping you. I just don't think it's… safe." He still didn't look at me.
We didn't say anything for a few minutes.
"Hey Bells, I got to go. I'll see you later." He moved for the door, but Charlie beat him to it.
"Hey Jake. Nice seeing you here." Charlie smiled as he walked in the door.
"Hi Charlie. Actually I was just leaving." He tried to get around Charlie.
"Aw come on kid, stay for dinner. We can order pizza."
Jacob sighed. "Charlie I really have to go."
"All right, all right." He moved so Jacob could pass.
"Bye Bella. Charlie."
"Bye Jacob." He looked at me questioningly. "What did you kids get into a fight?"
"No Dad. Just, some complications." I turned for the kitchen.
Thanks for reading this guys. I know this chapter was kind of boring, but I needed it to lead up to the next part which is pretty… Sad I guess. Intense. You know. But I just thought of something REALLY intense that is going to happen in the next few chapters. So I'll be posting again soon.
