Disclaimer – I don't feel like coming up with some scenario, so, I don't own Twilight, and congratulations, you probably don't either.
I'd like to dedicate this chapter to my friend Lorrin, who told me I should keep on updating even if I didn't want to, or if I wasn't in the mood to. Unfortunately, I didn't listen to her, but I'm going to from now on.
Just for a refresher, last time it was Bella's POV during the phone call.
Bizarre Love Triangle
Chapter 8 – I Can Be Anything That I Want to Be
Jacob's POV
My good mood held over until the morning.
Billy was looking at me very worriedly, since, I was on the verge of singing I was so pumped. I knew it had to do more with the fact that I was going to see Edward and Bella today, than that I tricked Edward on the phone last night.
I quickly grabbed breakfast and flew out the door, waving to Billy on the way out. I think he was in too much shock to ask me why I was leaving so early.
I grabbed my motorcycle and probably broke just about every road law driving down to Forks High School.
I parked my motorcycle a couple yards to the right of the front door. That way when they walked in, I'd be sure to catch them. It just happened to be on a sidewalk, but I mean, what can you do?
Other students and teachers started trickling in.
Every single one of them eyed me with nervous suspicion. It was a good thing we were in public, or I would have morphed and ripped half of their heads off. I was kind of happy that I produced fear in them, when the vampires obviously didn't at this point.
I heard the quiet hum of the familiar Volvo in the distance.
My body went stiff.
No matter how much I wanted, no needed, to do this, I was the one with fear pulsing through my veins, now. I had to pick my words carefully, or this could go downhill very fast.
Once they turned the corner I saw their heads bent together, both looking tense and frustrated. Bella looked utterly confused.
I know it isn't right, but I felt happy that I was causing them to fight. That gave me all the more chance of me winning Edward.
They swerved, very gracefully, into a spot near the front of the school. Then I saw Bella notice me. When she looked at my perfectly neutral face, I could see hurt, anger, and confusion.
I hated that we couldn't tell her, but . . . Edward is right, it would absolutely kill her.
As they got out of the car, I heard Edward groan. I smirked, because maybe it would be easier to win him over than I thought. But, at the same time, there were waves of guilt crashing the inside of me.
Then I noticed them walking towards me, hand in hand. All of my speculations and intense feelings went out the window. They were a perfect couple.
As they got closer, Edward seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable. Once they were a few yards away, Edward stopped walking, and pulled Bella slightly behind him. It was incredibly stupid. What was I going to do, lick her to death?
"This is hardly the place, Jacob." Edward scolded. I was preoccupied marveling in the intricate folds of his musical voice. I hated that he always did that to me.
I finally located my voice, which was no comparison to his. "What's wrong with now? It's not like you care about taking the same class for the hundredth time."
He looked around, deliberately, resting on the classmates who were stopping to watch, probably anticipating a fight. I didn't turn around to check.
"Besides," he muttered as soft as possible, because he knew I could hear him with perfect clarity. Bella on the other hand, seemed to be having some troubles. "I already know what you came hear to say . . . consider us warned."
He left part out; he obviously didn't want Bella to notice our strange behavior.
"Warned?" Bella asked with surprise. "Warn us about what?"
"You didn't her?" I couldn't believe this hypocrite. He didn't even tell her about the fight between enemy sides when we were supposed to be tracking a sadistic vampire, but he expects everyone else to tell him everything.
"Please drop it Jacob." His voice showed no hint of being worried or uncomfortable.
"Why?" I asked, a bit of humor marring my voice. "Afraid she'll join over to our side?"
Edward's glare was so strong that it could cut through solid metal.
"Edward, what don't I know?" Bella asked frantically.
I smirked at the chance to drive them apart even more. I was trying very hard, and almost succeeding, to ignore that horrid guilt bubbling up inside of me. "He didn't tell you that his big brother crossed the line Saturday night? Paul was totally justified in –"
"It was no man's land!" Edward hissed, rudely cutting me off.
"Was not!" I argued back. In the back of my mind, I realized that we sounded like obnoxious little boys.
In the front of my mind I was using all of my control not to rip his head off. I admired him and that he would argue for a cause, but I had a fight to pick with his family and right now he was the spokes man.
After some deep, calming breaths I was still slightly shaking, but able to focus on the world around me.
"Paul and Emmett?" Bella's soft whimper caught my focus. That was all it took to finally get me out of my trance. She sounded dazed, sad, and scared. She seemed to break out of her daze, too. "What happened, were they fighting?! Why? Did Paul get hurt?" Her voice strained in panic.
I found it incredibly insulting that she only asked if Paul got hurt, not that rotten bloodsucker. We really aren't that durable.
Edward was whispering encouraging thoughts to her. And then it all made sense. He didn't tell her anything. That was why he took her away, so she wouldn't know a thing, not to protect her, or maybe a little of both. I started making these accusations out loud so that Bella would catch on and know the truth, but Edward cut me off.
"Leave now." At the moment he looked at me so frighteningly that chill went through my whole body. At this moment, I was a werewolf and he was a vampire. I didn't care if he was mad or upset, I really didn't' care about anything. The only thing in my mind was, protect Bella and rip the bloodsucker's head off.
I realized with a jolt that we would always be enemies, no matter how much I loved him. All of the sudden I got a flash of intuition. I knew this couldn't deter me, it just meant that I had to try that much harder, I had to win him over.
While, I was figuring all of this out, I heard Bella get her own flash of intuition, and Edward comforting her.
I decided now was a chance to show that I'm really not the bad guy. That decision was mine, and if I wanted to try being good, who's going to stop me? "I really am sorry I caused so much trouble, I didn't mean to." That part was true at least. "I don't want to fight anymore; I don't want to leave like this." It actually felt good to make amends. I think I could actually stick to this.
"What?" Bella was appalled at my sudden change in attitude.
"You heard me, I want to get along, and I don't want to cause problems anymore. Could I come see Bella some time?" Now I was talking to Edward. His harsh face melted away, and what was left practically left me breathless. He had concern written all over it, and it was pointed towards me. He actually cared about me. This was new.
"No, it's too dangerous." Then, I got mad again, I knew and he knew just as well that it wasn't dangerous.
"Please." I remembered how much this worked on him last time. "You know that it's not too dangerous. Please?"
He took a deep, angry breath. "Fine! Do whatever you want! Why does it matter what I want anymore?"
Bella was still shocked by the whole day's events, but was aware enough to comfort Edward. "Of course I care Edward, but this really isn't your decision. Like Jake said, you know I'll be safe.'
"How do I know that?" He was angry and upset, but I could here the resolve still in his voice. "How do I know that you won't say something that will make him, or anyone else in his pack for that matter, upset?"
"Because you trust my judgment."
"That's true. I shouldn't, but I do."
And just like that, with barely any shouting, their fight was over.
"I should get going, I miss you Bells, call you tonight." I shouted over my shoulder as I climbed on my bike.
"Wait!" Bella shouted. I paused. "I miss you too, Jake. Do you promise to call?"
She looked so sad, and to tell the truth, I didn't know if I could be away from my best friend much longer. I shouted over the loud engine as I drove away. "Promise!"
AN – So, how'd you like it? Please let me know! Now, I'm not going to give you any excuses for not updating, well… except one. I've trying to stay by the book for a lot of it, because it doesn't effect Edward and Bella that much, but I think everything is going to change soon, so I'll be able to get more inspiration, and write more.
Check out Lorrin's story! (the friend that I keep mentioning) She just started it and it's really good, it's called "Love Life" by XxInuyasha4everxX. Here's the summary…
Quil can see Jacob is upset about losing Bella. So when he signs Jacob up on a dating site he thinks he is doing a favor. But what happens when Jacob's "perfect match" turns out to be someone nobody saw coming?
Like, I said, it's really good! Check it out!
Oh, and look at my icon for the chapter, I actually don't know what it is yet, but I'll find a good one when I'm done writing this!
Vote in my pole, soon! I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep it up.
I will probably post the one shot I was talking about. It's called "Things to do to Twilight Haters." I felt like it just had to be written.
I love you all! Thank you so much for sticking with me!
Until next time,
Edwardluver96 (Becky)
