"Jacob?!" I wailed.
I hugged him so tightly to me, it hurt. "What are you doing here?"
"Edward called us to try and help rescue you." He looked like he was angry. He wasn't looking down at me, but just straight ahead.
"Jacob what's wrong?"
"I know it's not your fault that the bloodsucker got you under his spell, but why did we find out so late? We could've helped a lot earlier and before you got hurt!"
"Jake I'm not hurt." I was staring straight at his face.
"Do you still love him? Do you still love Mike?"
Jacob looked down at me with penetrating eyes.
"No. I don't love him anymore." I didn't want to see the look on Jacob's face so I stared at my hands.
I just almost gave up my life to save someone who I didn't really love. How could I be so…so stupid?
I broke down crying into Jake's chest.
After about five minutes Jacob was opening the front door to my house. He walked up-stairs and into my room.
"How long do I have?"
"Before what?" He wasn't angry anymore, just sad.
"Before Edward gets here." I buried my face in my pillow. I could feel it getting wetter and wetter.
"He isn't coming here."
I turned my head to look at Jake. "Wow, that's a surprise. You'd think he'd want to come and see if I was okay after he demolished my boyfriend!"
"How can you call him that Bella? He was going to kill you!"
"No, he wasn't he just wanted to be with me! All I wanted was to be with him and to get away from the over-controlling Edward Cullen!"
I saw Jacob's mouth drop but he quickly reassembled his face into the mask I hated.
"Edward l-loves you. He only wanted to-"
"Since when do you back-up Cullen? Maybe you forgot, but you hate him, remember?"
"This time he was right. The leech was going to suck the life out of you!"
"NO. HE. WASN'T!" I was screaming now with all the anger I built up in the past few weeks.
Jacob stood up and came to me. He grabbed me with both hands and started to shake me. "Wake up Bella! He never loved you! He only wanted to have your blood!"
"He did love me. I could feel it."
"Bella, Honey, please!"
"Don't call me honey you canine!"
Jake dropped his hands and started to tremble.
"Jake I'm sorry. Don't transform. I didn't mean it!"
He slowly became calm and spoke in monotone. "I think you could use some time alone to think."
"No, Jake I'm sorry. Please stay." I didn't want to be alone, not now after what just happened.
He came over and sat on the bed while I climbed into his lap. He hugged me. Jake kissed me on the head right as I heard the cruiser pull in the driveway.
"Charlie's home I think I should go." Jake said starting to get up.
"It's fine. My Dad loves you. But maybe you should sit in the chair."
He nodded and headed for the computer seat.
"Bella, you home?" Charlie called.
"Yeah, Dad, we're up here!"
"We're?! You're not allowed to have Mike up there alone with you!" He started to run up the stairs and into the doorway of my room.
"Hey Charlie!" Jake called.
"Oh, Jacob it's you." Charlie smiled and said, "So kid you staying for dinner?"
"Sure sure. What are we having?" Jake said.
"I'll order pizza so you kids can talk." Charlie started to head down the stairs.
"Thanks, Dad!"
"Wow. Your Dad really does love me." Jake had a wide smile on his face now.
"Pizza's here!" We heard Charlie call.
"Bella, I still don't think revenge is a good idea. He was only trying to help you."
"Jake, I thought you loved me?"
"That's unfair! You know I love you."
"Don't you want your time with me?" I was trying to be seductive but I knew it wasn't working, very well. Jacob wasn't the little, easy-to-manipulate, kid he was when I came to Forks 1 year ago.
"Please Jakey-poo." I tried putting on my best puppy-dog eyes.
"He'll know it isn't real. Remember the whole mind reading thing he can do?"
"Not if he thinks it's real. We can do it if you're able to keep your thoughts purely about the hoax we set up."
We walked into the kitchen. Charlie was already watching the game in the living room.
"I'm pretty sure I'll be able to do that just fine." He seemed to be in deep thought.
I wasn't sure what to do so I just sat down and ate while he pondered the possibility of us being a couple.
"You're sure you're okay with this?" Jake asked with a gleam in his eye.
"Positive!"
