"Bella are you okay?" Rosalie asked.
"Yeah, now," I whispered.
I looked at Jared and hugged him.
"Please take me home," I whispered. I buried my face in his shirt.
He picked me up and handed me to Emmett. He phased and Emmett put me on his back. They started running.
Welcome Back
Bella's POV
I couldn't get anything out of my head. They ran and would constantly ask me if I was okay. 'The lady said one of us will die, what I saw was that all of us will die. I can change it.'
"Bella are you sure you are okay?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah," I answered.
He smiled and hugged me. We finally made it and Jared went home.
I entered the room and was tackled down by the evil pixie.
"I missed you so much," she said.
"Me too," I whispered. Emmett grabbed her and pulled her off me. I smiled and was tackled by Esme.
"Don't do that again," Esme said.
"I make no promises," I said.
"Mom, let her rest before asking her questions," Emmett said.
"Okay," she said.
I smiled at Emmett. "What's been happening while we were gone?" Em asked.
"Nothing," Alice said.
"What's happened on the road?" Carlisle asked.
I looked at Emmett.
"Well we found her in Italy, trying to commit suicide," he said.
Everyone looked at me, but I looked down.
"I'm sorry you had to worry," I said.
"It's okay," Esme said.
She was about to hug me again.
"Um I'm going to my room," I said.
Emmett put his arm around me.
Jared's POV
I went back to La Push and I was tackled down by the pack.
"What's up guys," I said.
They got off me.
Sam appeared.
"Let's meet at Emily's," he said.
I smiled and nodded. I followed them to Emily's house.
I saw everyone there and I smiled.
"Jared!" Emily ran to hug me.
I picked her up and swung her around.
"So where is the imprint?" Emily asked.
"Home, with her family," I answered.
"When do we meet her?" Emily asked.
"You know she's a bloodsucker?" Paul asked.
I growled. "Don't call her that."
"Sorry," he muttered.
"She can't come here. The treaty," I said.
"So you can't go to her," Sam said.
"Yes but we'll find a way," I said.
"Jared, you can't stay away from her," Sam said, "the treaty is for non-Cullens now."
I smiled.
"I'll go get her," I said. I turned and crashed into the wall. I ran to the door while everyone laughed.
Bella's POV
Jared came to my room.
"Hello," he said, happily.
"Hey," I answered.
"So Bella," he started.
"Spit it out," I said.
"The pack wants to meet my imprint," he told me.
"I-but...fine," I muttered, "Won't the wonder about my red eyes?"
"Nope, they know what happened," he said, smiling.
I nodded. "Bella can I talk to you?" Edward asked.
I looked at Jared. He nodded. He was happy the pack would get to meet me.
"Okay Edward," I said. We walked to another room.
"I'm sorry for the way I treated you," he said.
"It's okay," I said.
"No it's not," he said.
"It is," I said, "I'm sorry I blamed you."
"I'll forgive you, but first," he said.
He did something I wouldn't have guessed. He...he pushed me into the wall, grabbed the sides of my face and kissed me. I didn't have my newborn strength, so I couldn't push him off, instead I punched him. He put my hands over my head and didn't stop kissing me.
I kicked the wall and waited a little while and the door burst open.
I smiled and everything went black.
Emmett's POV
There was a crash-like sound in my room and I ran to see what it was. I burst open the door and saw Edward let go of my sister and she fainted.
"What did you do to her?" I growled.
"Nothing," he said.
"Well from what I see and saw was a dent in my room, you let her go and she passed out," I said. I ran to her and picked her up.
"She made the dent," he said. He left the room. I laid her down my bed and chased Edward.
"What did you do to her?" I growled.
"What happened?" Rosalie asked.
"Bella...she fainted," I told him.
"What does this have to do with Edward?" Jared asked.
"Well they were in the same room and he was holding her," I snarled.
"It's her own fault," he said.
"How so?" I asked.
"She doesn't want me!" Edward shouted.
"IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU! STOP THINKING SELFISH!" I shouted.
"I did nothing," he said.
"Yeah right," Bella said. We turned and saw her leaning against the wall. Jared and I ran to her.
"What happened?" Jared asked.
"Well remember when he wanted to talk to me?" She asked him.
"Yeah, you two went into another room," he said.
"Well he apologized and I apologized too. He said he'll forgive me, but he'll give me something first. He pushed me against the wall. I tried pushing him off, but he kept my hands over my head. I kicked the wall, knowing Emmett or Jared would run up here," she told us.
I turned to Edward and glared.
"Jared why don't you take Bella to La Push," I suggested.
"Yes sir," he said, "let's go."
They left and I turned to Edward.
"What the fuck is your problem?" I snarled.
"She's lying," he shouted.
"She's not," Alice told us.
"You saw it?" I asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Why didn't you say anything?" I asked.
"Because if I stopped it, you wouldn't have known he won't stop," she told me,
"True," I muttered.
I glared at him.
"Let's wait until Carlisle, Esme, and Bella are here," Rosalie said.
Bella's POV
"Want to walk?" He asked.
"Sure," I said. I smiled at him. I grabbed his hand. "Tell me about your pack," I said.
"Sam is the leader. Jacob is the second in charge, the rest of us are just part of it. Every time a new vampire joins, new wolves phase. The imprints are Claire, Quil's imprint. Sam and Emily, Rachel and Paul. Renèesme and Jacob. Kim and Embry. You and me," he said.
I nodded.
"Race you," I said.
"You're on," he said, smiling.
He phased and stood next to me.
"Ready," I said.
He barked.
"Go," I said and we took off.
I ran until I smelt the stench. A wolf knocked me down. It started growling in my face.
"J-Jared!" I called.
The wolf was thrown off. I got up and stood behind Jared.
"Is it one of your guys?" I asked.
He nodded.
"It doesn't know about me?" I asked.
He shook his head.
I walked to it.
"Hello, my name is Isabella McCarty, I'm uh Jared's imprint," I said.
It looked at my eyes and growled.
"Oh I don't hunt humans," I said. It howled and more came out. I moved back.
It took a step towards me. I tripped in a rock and hit my head on the ground. Everything was blurry and I couldn't get back up.
Jared's POV
Bella fell and didn't get back up.
I ran to her. She was awake but didn't seem to see me.
'You imprinted on a leech?' -Leah
'Yeah! And look at what you did!' -Me
'Just kill her!' -Leah
'No!' -Me
I got in front of her to protect her.
Leah lunged at me and pushed me.
'Enough!' -Sam
She walked back and sat down. I turned to Bella. She hadn't changed. Her eyes started closing, but couldn't.
I phased and Sam gave me shorts.
I picked her up and took her to the back seat of Sam's car. Leah left and phased and Sam got in the driver's seat.
"Bella, say something," I said.
"I can't see anything," she whispered.
Leah got in the front seat and we went to Emily's place.
I put Bella on her feet and let her go.
"Walk Bella," I whispered.
"Everything is so blurry," she said, "I feel dizzy and weak."
I picked her up and ran into the house. I put her on the couch.
"Is she okay?" Emily asked.
"I don't know," I answered.
I called Emmett.
"Hello?"
"Emmett can you come to Emily's house?" I asked.
"Why?" He questioned.
"It's Bella," I answered.
"Rosalie let's go," I heard him say, "I'll be there."
I hung up and ran my hand through Bella's hair.
"Emmett's coming?" She asked, looking for me.
"Yeah, I hope they bring the doctor," I muttered.
"It'll be okay," she said. She put her hand on my cheek and smiled at me.
Emmett's POV
"Carlisle!" I shouted.
"What?" He asked.
"It's Bella, something happened," I said.
"What was it this time?" Edward asked, annoyed. 'I'm going to kill him!'
"Emmett don't," Alice said. I nodded to her and looked at Carlisle.
He got his stuff and ran out the door. Rosalie and I followed. Everyone else stayed.
We got to where Bella was and saw her lying down on the couch, touching Jared's cheek, and smiling at him.
"Bella? What's wrong?" I asked.
"She can't see well and is weak," Jared said.
"What happened?" Rose asked.
"Leah here," he said, pointing to one of the girls, without scars, "tried to attack her. Bella tripped and slammed her head against a rock."
"Bella how many fingers do I have up?" Carlisle asked holding up two.
"Uh," she started, "four?"
"No two, let's see. Does your head hurt?" He asked.
"A little," she answered.
"Let's take you home," he said.
I picked her up and started walking out. I noticed Jared not coming.
"Are you staying?" I asked him.
"No," he answered. He walked next to me.
We took her home. After a week her eyesight came back and she entered school again. Jared changed schools.
We were all sitting down when I remembered Edward.
"So what are we going to do about Edward harassing Bella?" I asked.
"Edward is harassing Bella?" Esme asked.
"Yes." Jared growled.
"Why?" Carlisle asked.
We all turned to Edward for the answer.
Next on Chapter 9: I Love You
"Bella, it's been months since I first saw you, first talked to you and I've been patient. I still am but if I don't tell you how I feel like I'm going to blow up," Jared said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Bella, I love you. It's okay if you don't feel the same way. I know you're not ready. I'm not implying that we need to date. I just want you to know that. I'm not going to be like Edward," he said, Edward growled, "I'm willing to wait. I will wait forever if I have to, just for you to say the same thing."
I was shocked. The whole cafeteria got quiet for my answer.
"I know I messed up our friendship. Man I should have stayed quiet-" I interrupted him by acting on instinct. I...
