Chapter Four
"Home Sweet Home"
Bella's POV
Jacob grinned down at me, his teeth were flashing white. The rain was pouring down, but it didn't bother us one bit. It was loud; the crashing waves, the hard rain pouring down, and now the thunder started to roar. I looked at Jacob, listening to the chaos around me. I felt whole, I've been missing this all of my life. I thought I would have been happy with Edward... in a way I almost had to thank Edward. If he never left me I wouldn't have fell into the arms of Jacob. Jake had always been there for me, he had always loved me. And he had to watch me be with Edward all this time. I knew I had to make up for the sadness I had caused him. This was my new life now. My new life with Jacob, and I knew this was where I belonged.
"Maybe we should start getting out of this rain!" I shouted over the thunder,
"Follow me" He took my hand and we ran across the beach to a small cave formed at the bottom of a cliff.
It was wet inside, but it was better in here than out there. My clothes felt like heavy weights on top of me, they were drenched in rain. Jacob motioned me to come towards him. So I sat next to him, with his arm around me, and I knew he wouldn't leave my side.
Being with Jacob made me forgot about everything that happened this morning with Edward. It had really hurt me; but now, it didn't mean anything to me. He didn't mean anything to me.
I looked up at Jacob; he was watching Mother Nature take its course. His face was so serious, and yet gentle. His hair was wet, which made it look longer. His body was so big compared to mine; it made me feel so protected, like no one could hurt me. I loved being here with him; I didn't want this moment to end. Slowly my eyelids began to feel heavy, and everything became a blur. I fell asleep with a grin, the last thing I saw was Jacob smiling down at me.
_______________________________
I awoke to a lot of chattering. I was wrapped in a blanket, sleeping on a couch. I arose to see that I was in Emily's living room. Jacob and the other boys were stuffing their faces with food like a pack of wolves. I got off the couch with the blanket still wrapped around me. Emily saw me, and smiled "Have a nice sleep?"
I laughed "Yeah, I didn't even realize Jacob took me here"
She chuckled "Well I left you a plate of food if you'd like"
"Thanks, that'd be great" I replied,
I sat on the counter eating my food while Emily was washing the dishes the boys just ate out of; who were now in the living room watching football.
Without looking up Emily said "So, Jake told you huh?"
I took a bite of casserole and started to talk "Yeah"
"Well, welcome to our family, you're one of us now" She said, smiling up at me.
I stopped chewing, realizing I've heard that somewhere before.
"Thanks" I said reluctantly.
I looked at the time, it read 7:00. I jumped realizing I left the house at noon and I haven't called Charlie.
"Something wrong?" asked Emily concerned,
"Yeah, it's nothing big. I just forgot to call my dad." I said, "I'll go outside and talk to him real quick, thanks for the dinner." I said thankfully.
"Okay, nice talking to you." She grinned,
I smiled back, and started out the front door.
I stepped out of the screen door, and stood on the porch. The rain had stopped, and it was very humid out. The sky was just getting to a midnight blue, and a fog was appearing. I reached into my pocket and took out my cell phone. I flipped it open, and found 11 missed calls. Oh Charlie, I thought shaking my head. But when I looked at my missed call's list, I saw that my dad only called once. Edward had called me 10 times… I frowned, why did he call? I instead dialed my house phpne. It rang for about 20 seconds, and then someone picked up.
"Hello?" It was Charlie,
"Hey Dad, it's me Bella"
"Oh hey Bells. Where on earth have you been?" He asked
"I was with Jacob sorry I never called. I fell asleep," I said sounding stupid.
There was a pause
"You fell asleep at his house?" He asked
"Well, no. I fell asleep at Emily's house. She's a friend of the Black's"
His voice loosened up
"Okay, that's fine. But, maybe you should stay the night there, it's really starting to fog up." He said concerned, "And I don't want you driving all the way from La Push in the fog"
I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Charlie being concerned "Okay, dad. I'll let her know."
"Alright Bells- I'll let you go, but call me in the morning okay?"
"Kay dad, love you." I was about to hang up when Charlie stopped me,
"Wait, Bella" He said quickly.
"Yeah?" I asked, wondering what the hold up was.
"You know, Edward called the house at least ten times today. What's going on?" He asked curiously.
"Um, nothing, I guess I'll give him a call"
"Okay, well I'll talk to you later Bells" He said,
"Bye" and, I hung up.
I couldn't believe he called the house! What did he have to say that was so important? I shook my head. Why do I even care? I slapped my phone shut and headed inside. I closed the door behind me, and went into the living room. Inside Jacob noticed my entrance and jumped off the couch walking towards me.
"Hey Bells, have a good sleep?" He asked smiling down at me.
"Yeah, but you could have waken me up, I feel bad making you carry me all the way to the house."
He shrugged, "It wasn't a big deal, but hey, I want to show you something"
I laughed "Okay,"
He lead me upstairs to a room that was dimly lit, it was small, and a little messy but had a nice antique touch to it. There were book shelves everywhere, like a miniature library.
"What is this place?" I asked astounded.
"This is the library of the Black's" he said. "Look around"
Jacob and I spent the next two hours looking through journals of his ancestors talking about their first imprint, the first time they saw signs of becoming a werewolf, their first battle. Some parts were sad, some were sweet, and some were funny. We then came upon a picture album. It was a pretty recent photo album, so I opened it up. It had a lot of pictures especially of Jacob, Embry, and Quil when they were kids. Jake was adorable, and I couldn't believe that he used to be so small, when he's so big now. We laughed and awed at his baby photo's when my phone rang. We were in mid-laughter "I'll get it" Jacob said still laughing.
He looked at the caller ID, and growled a little.
I looked at him, concerned. "Who is it Jake?" I asked inching towards him.
Without looking at me, he opened my phone, and spoke into the speaker
"What do you want Edward."
Authors Note: This chapter was a little longer than the other ones. Although this definately is not my favorite chapter. I felt that it was nessecary for the plot. I didn't get as many reviews as i would of liked from my last chapter but it's okay, thanks to all of you who did. It meant a lot. Also! Thanks to all of you who added me as your favorite author, and chose Full Moon as your favorite story :)
