Tears for Blood

Chapter 4

Edward left early this morning, he was going hiking alone. I told him that he was bound to see Rosalie someday, but he still refused to. I went to our phone and quickly dialed Jacob's number. Jacob and I were only friends now, not like it used to be. He had found someone for him, perfect for him, actually. They were somehow opposite, but hey, opposites attract right? I quickly stopped the continuation of my day dreams before they get out of hand, as soon as I heard somebody answer the phone.

"Jake?" I said casually, but really nicely too since I was going to ask him for something.

"Hi Bella!" He answered enthusiastically. By the tone of his voice, I knew he was exited to actually talk to me in quite a long time.

"Jake, are you doing anything?" I asked. There was quite a long pause, and then I heard something. It sounded like two soft, wet things were touching each other continuously and then I herd his warm laughter.

"Jake?" I called out again, hoping he would stop those noises. It was then that I realized he had been busy. Busy kissing someone while we were on the phone. It was probably Natalie, his girlfriend. Now, I realized I was jealous of them and decided that I cool down and ask again.

"Jacob? Are you doing anything now?" what the heck am I saying, I just herd their private moment, was there anything more to be asked?

"Not really" What a lie... "Why anything you wanted?" He asked, I loved that about him, he was willing to risk anything for his friends, no matter how important what he was doing was.

"Yeah, I was...well wondering if we could meet up by the super market, I kind of need some company... but, if you're busy, no problem, I could call someone else." I said, shyly.

"Is it fine if Natalie would come along?" He asked.

"Sure" I said, very sure of myself, since she was really nice anyway.

"Meet you there in half an hour" He said, as if I could already see his big smile.

"Make it forty-five minutes; my truck's not that fast you know!" I laughed as I could hear his chuckle, almost as beautiful as Edward's...

"Bye..." He said.

"Bye..." I said, and quickly hurried to the kitchen, opened the cupboard looking for things to shop for, even though we didn't really need anything. I wrote a short, quick list, and rushed to go outside. Before I could leave the fame of the door, the phone rang.

"Crap" I mumbled.

"Hello?" I asked, irritated.

"Bella, I'll be coming home after a while, there was a sudden change of plan, long story"

"Okay, I'm running down to the store and buying a few things, bye Charlie" I said, pissed off. I quickly felt guilty but put it aside for a while, and then hung up.

As I drove quickly to the store, I saw a gang of big, dirty men chasing some people.

I didn't mind them and I parked my truck. I shut the door and ran inside. I guess I was so exited to meet him and Natalie, that I was already catching my breath when I stepped inside.

I saw them looking at some junk food and laughing at the corny jokes behind it.

"Jacob!" I said, panting. I gave him a quick hug and I shook Natalie's hand

"Isabella? Is that you? The girl I went to pre-school with?" She said, happy.

"Call me Bella" I said, hoping she gets that I meant yes.

"Nice to meet you again..." She giggled. She seemed so like the goody-two-shoes type who was always so pleasant in her choice of words. It seemed so amazing that she and Jacob got a long so well for quite a long time already. She smiled at me pleasantly again, the goodness of her would somehow show on her face. I smiled back, feeling as if my smile was no where near as beautiful as hers.

"So," Jacob said, breaking the awkward silence, "What was it you wanted to buy?"

"I got a list..." I searched through my empty pocket, fumbling. I laughed weakly and shyly as I realized the list had gone missing.

"Whatever. Ditch the grocery, shall we?" Jacob said, offering his hand to both me and Natalie.

I took his hand gladly and so did she. We walked out the grocery as I thought I saw the people I've seen a while a go. One of them was holding a gun, and as soon as Jacob saw it, he pulled the both of us inside. I refused. I thought I saw someone familiar... Charlie! It hit me, Charlie told me that he was coming home, and I put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

"Bella c'mon!" Jacob yelled as he hugged Natalie close to him.

"Charlie!!!" I screamed my lungs out as I heard a gunshot.

"Charlie?!" Jacob said, surprised. I saw Charlie on the floor, his chest bleeding.

"No..." I said, nodding my head. "NO!" I yelled, getting his gun and aiming it on the gang.

Jacob hurried to me, and tried to convince me to change my mind. I was furious, I clenched my jaw and I could feel the anger causing heartaches in my chest. I eyed the people as they were about to make a run for it, laughing. I heard Jacob's warm breath and soft voice in my ear,

"Bella, we all lost someone, revenge not gonna do you any good," I tightened the grip on the gun, "You'll go to jail... you won't be able to see the one's you love..." He hesitated, " You won't be able to see Edward" I stiffened and gave up, I put the gun down and broke down and cried on to Jacob's warm chest. Natalie put her hand on my shoulder and shot me a smile she was forcing. She knelt before me and Jacob and I knew she wanted to hug him, so I pulled away from Jacob and looked at Charlie on the ground... dead. My eyes were puffy red already and I only wanted Edward. I didn't want to call him because I knew what he was doing was important, I didn't want to make him suffer because of me.
