Bella's P.O.V.
"Edward." I choked this time, "No, this isn't what it looks like! I swear!" My eyes filled with tears as I watched him.
He stood perfectly still, like he were a statue. His eyes were completely pitch black and he glared. Not at Jacob. . .But at me.
"How could you, Bella? Huh? How could you do this to me?! I ask you to marry me, to love me, and you kiss that mutt?!"
I started to sob, "No! H- he kissed m- me! I'm- I'm sorry!" Jacob put a comforting hand on my shoulder for a moment then stepped in front of me, keeping me out of Edward's sight.
"What she is saying is correct. I kissed her. It was unexpected, so she didn't have the chance to pull away. You have no need to upset her. I would apologize if I were you."
Edward stayed still for a moment longer, then burst into laughter. He literally fell over, making a loud bang as his hard body hit the floor. He stayed like that for a while before finally standing up again.
He looked at Jacob, and all laughter was gone from his features, instead he looked cold and mean, with a sneer on his face, "Apologize to her? Apologize?! Ha! Oh, my dear mutt, you are quite the card, aren't you? There is no way I will ever apologize to her. She should be down on her knees, begging for forgiveness for letting you kiss her." he shakes his head, "She should be apologizing for letting you in her room! Why are you here, anyways, Jacob Black? Thought I wasn't going to come so you could have your wicked way with her?"
Meanwhile, I was sobbing behind Jacob. Barely able to hold myself up. Jacob shook his head, "Wow, bloodsucker. . .That girl really has hypnotized you. You've changed. I have never heard you say things like this about Bells. I figured I would be fighting for my life right now."
Edward's eyes blazed, "Her? You mean Alexandria? Oh, let me guess! Bella is upset that I've been spending some time with Alexandria, so she made up that whole bit where she is hypnotizing the entire Cullen family. Right?"
I stepped out from behind Jacob and started screaming, "I didn't make it up! It's true! She even came to my house and told me! She was going to have me jump off a cliff, Edward! Then she found out my mind is blocked off by her so she decided to turn all of you against me! Can't you see? She's succeeding!" I fell to my knees then, hiding my face in my hands as I sobbed uncontrollably.
Edward was just about to respond when Charlie kicked open the door, rifle in hand, "What in the hell is going on here?!" I looked up, and Jacob grabbed me by my arm, pulling me up. I nodded thanks to him then looked at Charlie.
"Dad! I'm sorry. We, uh..--" Jacob cut in, "I'm sorry, Charlie. Bella called me because she was scared and I came over to make sure she was alright."
Charlie actually smiled at Jake, "Well, that's very nice of you, Jacob." Then he turned to Edward, without a smile, "And why are -you- here, ?"
I couldn't believe what Edward said next. He lifted his chin and spoke icily, "I just came here to take my ring back." I gaped at Edward, my eyes were wide with shock. Then when I finally processed what he said, I collapsed. I waited to hit the hard floor, but I felt warm, strong arms wrap around me instead. Jacob held me to his chest and glared at Edward.
"You can get the ring back later, bloodsu--" he cut off when he remembered Charlie was there, "I mean, Edward."
Charlie just kind of stood there, staring at Edward, then me, then Jacob, and back to Edward, "You're breaking up with her?" Was all he could say.
Edward nodded once, not looking at Charlie, but staring at Jacob and me, "Yes. I am. And that's fine. Give me my ring another time. But, I -will- get it back." With that he walked right past Charlie and disappeared down the stairs.
I was still sobbing when Jacob set me down on my bed and walked out of the room, motioning for Charlie to join him. I heard there hushed voices, but couldn't hear anything because I was crying too hard.
Finally Jacob came back in and laid down in the bed, pulling me over to him. I hid my face in his chest, "He broke up with me! I can't believe it, Jacob! He doesn't love me anymore!"
Jacob tightened his arms around me, "No, no. Shh. He does still love you, Bells. . .Remember, Alexandria is hypnotizing him. He doesn't know what he is doing. We will fix this, I promise. . ."
He continued to whisper in my ear, saying everything would be okay until I finally cried myself to sleep.
That night I dreamt of horrible things. Edward looking at me with pure hatred in his eyes as he yanked his ring from my finger. Jacob standing off to the side, snarling at Edward as he tried to get over to me, to protect me, but was stopped by the rest of the Cullen's. The worst part was when Edward turned away from me and walked over to Alexandria, pulling her into his arms and kissing her deeply, without holding back.
I finally woke up to Jacob shaking me gently, telling me it was alright. I realized I was crying and calling out for Edward when Jake woke me up. I took a few deep breaths and looked over at the clock. 6 am.
Shaking my head, I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair, "Jake. We need to stop this. Today."
I know, suck-ish ending, but I didn't want to add anymore. There is only gonna be a few chapters left, I think. I hope you guys enjoyed this one. I think I did pretty good on it. Anyways, aren't y'all happy? Two chapters in two days! Whoo! Please review! ~Katy
