Edward quickly jumped to my side pulling me to him but I struggled to get away. He let me go and looked defeated.
"Edward, I don't know how to say this but……I think….i'm supposed to be with Jacob." His face fell into a sorrowful look I had never seen on him. "I knew yesterday that something was different but I thought you were just holding back for fear of getting hurt. That, dog, isn't good for you Bella." I cut him off with a scalding glare. "That DOG was the only person that stayed with me after you broke me. YOU BROKE ME!" I was fuming now, all the pain and anger from the past months came boiling to the surface. "You left ME! I wanted you forever but you couldn't stay. Even if it was a lie as you say it was, you still left. I could never, NEVER have left you even if I thought you would be the safest person in the world without me around. That is how much I loved you. Jacob picked me up, each piece you shattered me into, and put me back together knowing I may never run quite right. And even when I told him I could only be friends with him, he still stayed even though it was painful for him loved me exactly how I was. If it weren't for him, I may have jumped off that cliff for real. How dare you say he isn't good for me, when you were the one who abandoned me. I finally realize that you aren't good for me. I need to leave." "Bella....please, don't leave me." "You left first." With that I stormed out of his room and ran for the door.
Having heard the whole argument, the Cullen's sat in horror as I fled their house. The last thing I heard was Edward's scream of agony as I flew down the driveway. I got to La Push without even remembering the drive. I knocked frantically on the door to the Black's house. Hearing Billy rolling up to the door, I hoped I wasn't too late, that I hadn't broken Jacob for good.
"Bella? You're not welcome here." Billy had such a look of anger on his face, I couldn't breathe. "Billy before you kick me out, let me explain. I made a huge mistake. Huge doesn't even begin to explain it but I know now I belong with Jake, I belong here. Is he home?" Billy looked skeptical but finally saw in my face the truth I spoke. "He went for a run, I haven't seen him since he left. Bella, he was devastated. I don't know how he'll react to this but please be sure before you make this decision. He will not survive you leaving him again." I nodded my head, knowing I didn't have to prove myself to Billy. He allowed me inside and I sat on Jacob's bed and waited.
