A/N:

Eventually We All Have To Face The Music:

"I'm only Jacob Black? No need to sound so formal Bells." I was about ready to kill that puppy. I wondered how he even found me, how he knew my exact address, how he even got into my house? Was I not safe from anything anymore!

"You will be. I promise." Chase whispered in my ear.

At that moment Chase took me in his arms and buried his face in my hair. I breathed in the smell of him, relishing in the strange scent he had. It was vanilla and sandalwood, with a slight touch of jasmine, maybe blackberries. He smelled divine.

He made me feel at home.

I whispered back a thank you before ignoring Jake and moving about my kitchen as if he wasn't even there. Jaycie and Chase seemed to catch on to what I was doing and floated about the kitchen gracefully.

"So. What exactly do you guys want to eat?"

"Spaghetti!" They both replied enthusiastically. The childish gleam on their faces was enough to make my heart sing.

"Simple, easy, and fast. Wow you two are so easy to please. I like that." I said while remembering the Joker saying something similar on Batman. Chase and Jaycie begged me if they could watch it.

Chase seemed to remember this when he replied with a completely straight face, "Nice dress. I like that." Jaycie and I couldn't contain out laughter at his stupidity. We were literally rolling on the ground, laughing till the tears were coming and clutching our burning stomachs.

When I finally sobered up I saw Jake standing above me, looking like I had three heads.

I was curious as to why he looked at me like that when I was only laughing, but then I quickly remembered the last time he had seen me I was catatonic, a zombie.

Jake offered me a hand that I reluctantly took to stand on my feet.

"Care to explain what's going on to me Bella? You owe me some answers here."

I wanted to explode at that, but decided against it, seeing as Jaycie and Chase would keep a straight face. If they could do it, so I could. Through the corner of my eye I could see them both beam at my last thought.

"Jacob, dear Jacob. I do not owe you a damn thing. See, the thing is, you left me. You abandoned me. For Addison no less. You didn't want me anymore. I said my goodbyes and last explanations to you in Forks. If I didn't tell you where I was going, what would possibly make you think I wanna talk to you now? I'm done. We're done. We fell apart. Now leave. Leave and never come back into my life because honestly? I'm better off without you. That much is obvious. Now get out of my house."

The shock on Jake's face was evident. I could tell he never believed I would say those words in a million years. I had never been so hateful. I needed this, I needed to calmly take my anger out on him, and make him suffer for all the pain he had caused me. It felt odd to treat him like that, seeing as he had always been so patient with me. I never even knew I was capable of that kind of anger, but I knew it would get my point across.

I needed this more than anyone knew.

"I'm not leaving Bella. We have to talk."

"Let's get one thing straight Jacob. You don't tell Bella what she has to do. She does what she wants and you don't dispute that. If she wants you out of her house, you need to get out."

I could've kissed Chase for sticking up for me like that.

He winked at me and mouthed later while Jaycie pretended to gag.

"Alright Bells. I'll leave, but only for now. Don't think I won't be back. You can't stop me."

"No? She can't, but she also has us. We'll stay with her day and night if we have to. You don't know what you're up against, pup." Jaycie replied while glaring at Jake menacingly.

"Jacob, go home. You sound like a creepy stalker guy. I'm sure Addison misses you. So go. Go before we do or say something rash."

Bella. Your little puppy lover thinks he could totally take us 'humans'.

He doesn't know you guys aren't human?

No. We have no scent. That's about the only thing he finds abnormal about us.

Wait a minute. You have no scent?

No. Well, yes. But only other angels or demons can smell it. Not puppies or leeches.

Chase chuckled at his oh-so-clever comment about puppies and leeches.

My boyfriend is lame.

Chase pouted at my mental comment and stuck his tongue out at me.

"I'm leaving. My number is on the fridge. We need to talk Bella, please…" At that moment I saw the Jake I loved, the one who would stick by my side now matter what. I saw how truly sorry he was. I couldn't just write him off forever, so I decided to not be completely heartless and comply with his request.

"Fine Jake. Be here tomorrow, around one. Chase will be here, I don't know about Jaycie. But he'll be here to make sure you don't do something stupid. Take it or leave it."

"Bella. They don't know about what happened in Forks. They're…they won't understand."

"Don't talk about them like they aren't here Jake. They can hear you, you know. They'll be here. Don't ask questions. Don't even look at them. They aren't of your concern."

As I was pushing him out the door, I asked myself when I became this hateful, this horrible towards Jake. I realized this was how I should've felt when he dumped me, I should've felt all that rage towards him and Edward.

Then it dawned on me that I should've hated Edward too. He left me, broken and alone in the forest, when I'm positive he could hear me sobbing on the cold hard ground. He chose to ignore me. He might not have loved me anymore, but that didn't mean he couldn't have at least taken me back to my house.

I cooked dinner as planned, and while my favorite pair of brother and sister ate every forkful of spaghetti, I simply twirled my noodles in my fork and thought about everything I needed to sort out.

I kept pondering and imagining what I would say to Jake, and that's probably why Jaycie and Chase didn't interrupt my thought process. They understood how much I needed my time alone in my mind.

Once everything was finished and cleaned, Jaycie complained that she was tired and went to sleep in one of my guest rooms.

Chase led me up to my room where I changed into a hoodie and shorts while he slipped off his shirt and shoes.

We laid on the bed and watched the TV show Scrubs until we both fell asleep.

I had jolted awake around four a.m. and scared the shit out of Chase in the process. I was gasping, panting for air from some nightmare that I couldn't even remember.

As I slowed my breathing, Chase smoothed my hair down in an attempt to calm me. My sobs were probably loud enough to wake up people in China.

"Shhh Bella. You're safe."

"I'm sorry for waking you up."

"Don't worry about it. What was your night mare about?"

"I don't remember, but I know whatever it was scared the hell out of me."

"Obviously." Chase said softly.

"Chase, I'm sorry for not asking you first, but are you going to be okay tomorrow when I talk to Jake? Would you rather not be there or what?"

"I'll be there Bella. If you need me I'm there. Will you be okay? "Yes. I'm just..I don't know when I became this person. I don't know if it's good or bad."

"It's amazing Bella. You're stronger. You should own up to that."

"Yeah. You're right I suppose." "I always am."

"Oh hush, you."

He kissed me softly, until it became more heated and our tongues battled for dominance. Before I knew what was happening Chase was on top of me, just like in that mental image he had shown Jaycie.

I laughed against his lips and asked him what he was up to.

"I'm putting on a show. Just go with it."

Jaycie opened the door to my room and found Chase's body pressed to mine with his lips pressed against my own.

"I'm scarred for life!" Jaycie screamed as she threw a pillow at us.

I laughed while Chase groaned and rolled over to the side of me. He sighed and stared at the ceiling longingly as he complained to Jay, "Dammit Jay, just when I was getting somewhere!" "Shut the hell up with your complaining Chase, no one likes whiners."

"Bella, she's hurting my feelings!" Chase pointed at Jaycie accusingly like a seven year old.

"To hell with your feelings." I said jokingly.

"Aww you're mean!"

Acting younger than my age was something I had never done before. It was odd and foreign to me, considering I had always acted way older than my age.

We killed some time joking around and watching movies until Jake got there. He found us in the pool, screaming and laughing as usual.

His eyes were glued more to me in my swimsuit rather than my face.

I may have gotten stronger, but blushing like crazy at embarrassment was something I couldn't help as his eyes darkened with lust.

That was odd, he had already imprinted. Hadn't he?

Chase shook his head no, then wavered and told me it was a long story mentally.

Chase wrapped his arm around me and snapped his fingers in Jake's eyes.

"Jakey-boy. You alright there?" "Yeah I'm fine."

"So Bella, Chase, I'm going home. Call me when this kid leaves kayy?"

We both agreed and waved goodbye as Jaycie hopped my fence.

Jake followed me and Chase into the house while we grabbed some chips.

"So Jake, start talking. Just because you have something to say doesn't mean I have to cease all function. I'm gonna make Chase dinner, and you can have that much time to say what you need to say. Comprende?" Jake nodded and began his story while I began to make Chase some food.

"Alright. First I need to ask: why did you leave Bella?" "Did you really just ask that? I left Forks to escape! I needed to get away from you, Addison, the pack, memories of Edward, everything! Isn't that enough?"

"Bells, you…did you just…? I looked at Chase in confusion to ask if he knew what Jake was blabbering about.

He's just shocked.

"Jake? Why do you have that look of utter confusion?" "You…you said his name Bella. You said Edward without cringing or looking pained. When did this happen?"

He was absolutely right. I had barely even acknowledge my ex boyfriend's name. Was that all he was to me now? Had he only become someone from my past, and not the ex love of my life? The one I refused to let go of for over six months. The one who had left a gaping hole in the middle of my chest. The one I could barely live, let alone breathe without.

It amazed me in how Chase could infiltrate my mind and consume it in just a few short weeks. It was impossible, but I was grateful for it.

I love you.

Chase gingerly kissed my lips as he made my day with those three simple yet meaningful words. He had made my heart sing with a gesture as simple as that.

"So this is the reason you don't hold on to Edward anymore? It sure didn't take you too long to move on Bella."

Chase began to speak his first menacing words then.

'I would watch how you talk to her if I were you."

At that moment, I could see some of the demon in him. I saw the raging inferno beneath his eyes, the tensed muscles, and his clenched fists. All this, and still I wasn't afraid of him, nor

would I ever. He would never hurt me, that much I was sure of. For some strange reason he fell in love with me. ME of all the girls who had chased after him continuously. School would be a bitch when they saw his arms wrapped around me. I would not have it easy at all. Chase heard that last thought and smiled while wrapping his arms around me. Again, I felt that safe, guarded feeling.

"Bella, whatever your name is, cut that shit out!" We just laughed in his face.

"Why are you here Jacob?"

"I wanted to know if you were okay, if I'd ever see you again, and to deliver something to you. "

"Oh? I'm perfect Jake, you're seeing me now aren't you? Now what do you need to deliver?"

"This."

Jake then wrapped me up in his wolfish hugs, feeling like a toaster as normal but still loving hugs. It felt like the good old days. Surprisingly I hugged him back.

I loved him at one time, he was always there for me, it was almost impossible forget all our good memories.

"I'm sorry Jacob. I'm so sorry I was hateful."

"Don't worry Bells. I've put you through so much hell, it isn't even funny."

"Let's get past this yeah? Forget anything that happened in Forks. No matter what I say, I need you Jake. I need you as my friend." "Of course Bells!"

Chase had a slight pout on his lips that was just too irresistible to kiss. I did just that.

"Jake, this is my boyfriend Chase. Chase, this is Jake." They both exchanged pleasantries while I sent a thought to Chase.

Are we planning on telling him about your…status?

It'll be a longggggg story. You sure his wolfy mind can handle it?

It's worth a shot.

I suppose so. Here goes nothing…

A/N: Chase and Bella will then tell Jacob the whole story about being a vampire turned angelic/demonic. I don't feel like typing it all out, but you guys get the whole point.

About the whole Batman comment: I was watching the Batman spoof on YouTube, and it was too funny. I don't know if that was really on the movie, or the just the spoof, it's been a while since I've seen the movie.
