Why did they think I should ask Bella who Cassidy's father was? This isn't any of my business. Wait, it is my business, she cheated on me! But with who? Damn it, who did she sleep with on the rez other than me? Hold up, am I Cassie's father? No, that's impossible! Bella would have told me. Was that what she was trying to tell me that day on the beach? Shit, I drove my own daughter away from me because I imprinted, unintentionally of course. Finally, I pulled up to Bella's house and practically sprinted to the door. Bella looked cranky. God this was going to be difficult.
"Bella, I need to talk to you."
"First, what the HELL are you doing here?"
"I told you, I have to talk to you."
"Ugh, fine."
She walked into the living room and curled up at one end of the couch.
"First, did you know Jesse imprinted on Cassie?"
"He did? That's good, I wouldn't be able to stand it if he broke her heart."
I shifted uncomfortably on the couch. She was referring to how I left her.
"Bella, is Cassidy my daughter?"
"Where did you get an idea like that Jake?"
"Sam and Emily said I should ask you who Cassie's father was. I knew whoever it was had to be Quileute and I doubted you had slept with anyone but me, so I put 2 and 2 together and this is what I got."
"Damn it Jake!"
"Why did you come back Bella?"
"Cassie started getting a high fever that wouldn't go down with what ever I tried. The she had long phases of nausea. I was afraid she would phase, and I didn't think living with two vampires would make it any easier for her."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought both of us would be better off with you not knowing."
"God Bella, you could have saved me a lot of trouble. Natalie and I haven't had any kids. We've been together for 14 years. That's why I haven't stopped phasing."
"Jake would you do me a favor and not tell anyone yet, especially not Cassidy?"
"I think she already knows."
"Damn it, could you leave Jake, I need to be alone."
"Sure, can I come over again tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
I left Bella curled on the couch and walked out to my car. Oh, My, God, I have a daughter. And now she's with Jesse...Damn it, if he hurts her I'll rip his head off. Damn, if I ever hear anything while he's phased...
Shit, what am I going to tell Natalie? When I pulled into my driveway, the lights were still on inside the house. Why is she up at this hour? Seth and Brady were right. When I walked in, there was a guy on top of Natalie.
"Natalie." I stared in disbelief.
"Hey Jake, this isn't what you think."
"It isn't? Then what's going on here?"
"Well I got tired of you, so I thought I'd have some fun."
I stormed out of the door. Why did she do this to me? I thought she loved me? I have to run. I had made it to the Canadian border when it started raining so I decided to head back. I couldn't go home. I could never face anyone in La Push, word travels too fast. Shit, Bells is gonna be pissed when I show up at her door again. The lights were still on when I got to the house. Bells answered the door.
"Jacob, WTF are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?"
"Why Jake?"
"Natalie's been cheating on me and I'd rather not go home tonight."
"Oh, come in Jake. Let me get you some towels."
I sat at on one side of the couch, but this time Bells sat next to me and held my hand after pouring us each a shot of vodka.
"Its gonna be ok Jake, I know how you feel."
"How do you know Bells?"
"Cause its happened to me, several times. The first time it happened I didn't exactly catch him, but it still hurt."
I drank my shot. "Who was the soab?"
"You,"she answered incredulously.
"Well know we're even I guess."
"I guess we are. Have you seen Cassie, she hasn't come back and she isn't answering her phone?"
"Last time I saw her she was at the party with Jesse, it should be over by now."
"Do you think she's at Sam and Emily's?"
"Probably, I'll call just to make sure."
I grabbed my phone. I had their # on speed dial.
"Hey Sam its Jake, is Cassie at your place?"
"Yeah she's here, but she's sick, we've been trying to call Bella, but we haven't gotten through. Where are you?"
"I'm with Bella, we'll be over soon."
"Ok. Is she your daughter Jake?"
"Yeah she is."
"Well then congratulations, hurry over."
"See you in a bit."
"Come on Bells, we're going to Sam's."
"Why?"
"Because something is wrong with Cass and Sam didn't tell me what."
"Let me change, I'll be down in a second."
We were silent on the ride over. Bella was practically out of her seat before I even turned off the engine. The screen door was open so Bella let herself in. When I came in, Bells was hovering over the person I assumed to be Cassie, laying on the couch. Jesse was kneeling next to her holding her hand. When I saw Cassie's face, I lunged at Jesse.
I need 5 reviews if you want to find out what happened to Cassie!
