Chapter 9
Choices
Jake's POV
There was definatly something behind us. And it reeked! I knew exactly who it was at once, but I wasn't going to tell Bella. But I couldn't kill him, after I just almost admitted I love her. I heard a growl behind me.. whoops apparantly the leech can hear me. What do I do? If I take her out of here, he'll follow. And if we all stay, there will be a fight. Shit! I have no idea what to do!
"You just broke the treaty bloodsucker. I have a right to start the fight right here."
"You wouldn't though. Not with Bella right here, you wouldn't."
"Edward! What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming back? Where exactly are you anyway? Wait a minute... I thought the Cullens aren't allowed on Quiluete land."
"They're not. And if he doesn't go now I will rip his head off."
"Silly pup. You never will hurt me in front of her."
Man this guy was really bugging me. I know I would never hurt him infront of Bella, but if she left...
"Bella go back to the house."
"Bella do no such thing, I wanted to see you."
"I can speak for myself! No one is going anywhere! I want to talk to both of you."
"Bells! He can't stay here."
"Fine! We'll go to the halfway point! Sheesh Jake! Stop being such a baby!"
"I'm acting quite mature, considering my natural enemy is within my reach."
Bella's POV
What the hell was Edward doing here? Didn't he just say he never wanted to see me again? I was so confused. HE was confusing me!
"Please guys? I want to talk this out. Violence isn't okay when I'm around and Jake stop shaking, it'll be okay"
"Easy for you too say. Can I go? Please just while you talk to him?"
"No! Both of you are staying with me and we are all talking!"
"Bella love, I think the pup is right. You should talk to us one at a time."
"Why? I want us all to talk together. Things will get worked out better."
Why were the boy being so immature? This could easily be solved.
"Bella, love. I trust your judgment but, do you honestly think that this will work?"
"Yes Edward. I think this will work."
"Bells, I have to go home. This is stupid, I have no chance with him around."
"Who said I was staying? Bella I can't, don't look like that please, it's so much easier this way. I'll be leaving before the sun rises."
"Why come back then? You've broken your promise to me."
"I know Bella, but you've already broken yours without realizing it. You made friends with a werewolf, that's as reckless as if you were still with me."
"I should rip your head off for even thinking that. She didn't know. Hell, I didn't even know until a half an hour ago."
"Grow up, she'll forget later."
"Edward, leave me alone! If your going to go again, I don't want anything to do with you. Jake can look after me. I'll be fine."
I ran. I knew they could catch up in a heartbeat, but I didn't care. I had to get away from them. Edward would leave again and Jake would have to stay away from me. I'm too fragile, too human. My nightmares were coming true, everyone being something stronger, less breakable than me.
"Bells, let me take you back up to the house. You look like you're going to pass out on me."
"Listen Jake, I need to go home to my own bed. You two can figure out whatever you have to. Oh, and Edward? You broke your promise, I'm breaking mine. Good night boys, I'm going home... Maybe."
"Isabella Marie Swan! Stop! You're going to trip." No sooner had Jake's voice reached my ears, I tripped over my own two feet.
"Dammit Jake! I wasn't going to trip until you jinxed me! Leave me alone both of you... I don't want to talk to either of you if you're going to be so immature and fight over me."
"Bella... "
"Don't 'Bella' me! You tell me you love me then you leave? What kind of games are you playing Cullen? I'll love you forever, but when you're not here, I will end up moving on."
I wasn't hearing anymore. We weren't far from Jacob's house. I walked the rest of the way got into my beat up old truck and drove home. Leaving them at the edge of the forest with a look of anger and hurt on both their faces. I couldn't take Edward's games any longer, and if Jake wanted me, well I'll give it a try. Edward can go back to wherever he was and not bother me again. Like I really wanted that, but he's better off without me and I'm better off without him. I could hear them yelling after me. They would just have to give me time to think.
"BELLA!!! COME BACK! WE HAVE TO TALK TO YOU!"
That was all I heard before the ground was just inches below my face.
