Chapter 4: Precious Moments
BPOV
Jacob was silent all the way to La Push. Normally I like silence as I have no chance to make a fool out of myself, but I hated every second of this, this was uncomfortable.
When we got to his house, he leaned over and kissed me. It was very passionate, too passionate. Something was wrong. He wasn't Kissing me kissing me; he wasn't letting me get away. It was like I was his prisoner. Eventually I broke free.
"What was that for" I asked with what I hope was a teasing look on my face, it didn't work he looked a mix between angry and upset.
"Bella, do I really need an explanation to kiss you?"
"When you kiss me like that you do," I got out of the car and walked to the front door only to turn around and find him standing mere inches away from me "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"I'm Fine Bella." I could see that he was lying through his teeth but I shook my head and waited for him to unlock the door. We went inside and curled up on the couch.
"So… what were you talking to that bloodsucker…I mean Edward about?" I knew it. Of course I knew it from the second I got in the car.
"Jacob, listen to me, I love you. I chose you. Isn't that enough?" I looked at him honestly. "I need you to trust me. I am going to be friends with Edward Cullen, just like I was friends with you. Ok."
"I know you love me but I can't help feeling like I'm going to lose you to him. After all you two do have some pretty intense history." I curled into his arms and planted little kisses all over his neck.
"I love you with my heart and soul Jacob." He pulled my head up so I was looking into his eyes, kissed me on my forehead and then turned on the television. He seemed completely normal but I could tell that this little escapade was far from over.
A few days past and before I knew it, it was the weekend. Edward had not been in school since our last discussion but I didn't find it strange, he was probably hunting or something.
I was heading over to Jake's when I heard a wolf howl. I stopped my truck immediately and scanned the fields around me. That's when I saw it. I could see a grey shape moving on the far end of the field next to the road. I knew straight away that it was a werewolf, but I couldn't figure out who it was.
I started my truck and five minutes later arrived at Jacob's house. He was at my car door in seconds.
"Bella, you're late, what happened?" There was panic and worry in his voice.
"I just stopped for five minutes up the road, I saw one of you lot in the trees actually, is there trouble?" His face filled with dread.
"Bella its Paul. He got angry and went out of control; he had a fight with Jared and then turned. Jared only just escaped with his life."
"Why what happened?" I couldn't believe that Paul would do something like this. I always knew that he was a bit on the edge but I never thought he was capable of this sort of damage.
"Paul has imprinted on Kim, even though Jared already has, and he basically tried to rip Jared's throat out."
I gulped. I had seen Paul get out of hand once before and it was something that terrified me just thinking about it.
"Get in the car Bella I'm going to take you somewhere safe." I got in the car obediently and wondered where on earth he was taking me. We had been driving for about ten minutes when I realised that I remembered the turning that we had just taken.
"Jacob, where are we going?" I asked trying not to sound to impatient; he just ignored me and looked at the road.
"Jacob. WHERE ARE WE GOING?" I shouted, but of course I already knew, I just wasn't ready to admit it to myself yet. We turned off at the roads which lead to his house and I could feel myself shaking. I wasn't ready yet.
"Bella you have to understand that if there was any other place you could go and be as safe as you will be here then I would jump at the chance. This is killing me Bella, it's like I'm giving you to him." He started shaking with anger so I quickly placed a hand on his cheek until he eventually stopped.
"How long are we talking about?" I asked quietly.
"Two days at the most, I'll get you as soon as I can, I promise." We were pulling up to the drive now and I was starting to feel sick. Two days. I couldn't handle that, it would be very awkward.
Jacob parked the car in front of the house and five seconds later Edward was there. He knew.
"I'll be picking her up Sunday night at the latest; I've told Charlie that she is having a slumber party with Alice." Edward just nodded and then started to lead us inside.
"I better not." Jacob said looking uncomfortable. "Bella, I'll see you on Sunday." He gave me a quick peck on the lips and then darted off back to his car. And then we were alone.
"Alice went to your house earlier and brought a bag with your things in it. You're sleeping in my room; I'll be on the couch of course." I couldn't work out what his tone meant. He walked me to his room. "The bathrooms just down the hall." He showed me a door about halfway across the landing, and then we came to his room.
"Alice will be here in about 20 seconds so… I'll leave you to it." And with that he was gone.
"Hi Bella," She hugged me so tightly I could barely breathe "Your stuff is all in this bag here and feel free to take any food from the fridge and use the bathroom whenever you feel like it." She beamed at me with her pixie like grin. The rest of the afternoon was all like that, her talking me listening and all the family coming in at different times to say hi. All except one. Edward kept his distance.
It was eleven o' clock by the time I managed to get to bed, I hadn't realised how much I'd missed everyone, especially Alice. I got into my pyjamas and got into the golden bed that had been placed there for my purpose. I couldn't sleep.
I just kept tossing and turning until I heard a faint knock and then the door opened slightly. I already knew who it was without looking.
