I can't update tomorrow or Sunday. So I will leave you guys with a chapter.
Last chapter
I couldn't believe that she was gone. She moved on and now she's in love with someone else. I wondered if she would forgive me. She needed to know that I still loved her, wanted her. I knew she believed me in the forest. It just goes to show how inhumane I really am, lying to the only love I'll ever have, leaving her heartbroken. It sounded like she hadn't been herself until the dog came along. I read his thoughts and knew that he felt like it was his fault for not protecting Bella. Sam, the leader, was thinking the same thing. He was horrified that it had happened again.
Apparently, Bella's boyfriend hadn't blown up on her, but it was another one in the pack, Paul. I should have stayed; Bella would've been much safer with me, then a pack of dogs. I can't believe I left her to fend for herself. Rosalie was right, I was a stupid idiot.
Chapter 10 (Bella's POV)
I woke up to Emily and the pack (minus Paul and Quil) in a hospital room. Oh, great, here again. I looked up at Jacob who was holding my hand. Well, better know how bad I am. I'm not hurting that bad, maybe that's just the painkillers though. I smiled at Jacob and the rest of them to show them I was alright.
"So, when will I get to go home?" I asked, hoping it would be really soon.
Jacob laughed weakly and shook his head, "As soon as your Dad comes back. He went to drop off Billy. You've been asleep for almost a day."
"Well, what have you guys been up to while I was catching up on my sleep? Surely I'm not that interesting to watch." I asked, hoping to lighten the mood.
"Well, I have to disagree; we were all pretty interested in your sleep talking." Sam said.
I could feel my face redden. I pulled my hands out of Jacob's and Emily's and used them to cover my face. "Oh no! What did you guys hear?"
"Not much," Jacob replied with a grin. "You woke up about a minute or two after it started. Painkillers must have been wearing off."
I uncovered my face and looked at my hands and arms. I felt a gash that went along my chin on the side of my face. My upper arms and shoulders were covered with bandages. I could also feel some on my back when I tried to shield myself from the wolf.
"So, what's the story?" I was going to ask but was interrupted by a doctor coming in to check on me. Not just any doctor. But Carlisle. I felt my face harden as I continued to look at him. I had forgotten that they were why Paul was so mad. He could barely keep his form around the pack, how could he do it around vampires. Now I knew why Quil was with him. He was the newest one to the pack and Sam probably didn't want to risk Quil around Carlisle in public.
All but Sam, Emily and Jacob left. I could feel Jacob's gaze on me. I put my hand in his again and gave a little squeeze. He relaxed a little but not much.
"Hello, Carlisle." My voice as cold as ice. He knew right then that I wasn't going to play nice. "So, when will I be able to get out of here?"
He looked at me, probably wondering what happened to nice, sweet Bella. She was there, just not to the people who left me in the dust. "Your father is signing forms as we speak. As soon as you can get up, you can leave."
I was out of that bed before he even finished the sentence. "Okay, I'll go meet him then."
I was trying to ignore the pain in my back, but with every step I took, a stab of pain would ripple through my back to my shoulders and arms. Jacob, of course, noticed.
"Bella, are you alright?" Jacob asked as he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him, as we walked out of the room and down the hall. Sam and Emily were behind us along with Dr. Cullen.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some pain medications." I replied, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible. I saw Charlie and the guys in the waiting room. Charlie was done with the forms, thank goodness, so we could leave. I went over to my dad and hugged him tightly as he did the same.
"I'm glad to see you're awake, Bells." He smiled his crinkly smile as his eyes filled up with tears. "Bad luck seems to follow you everywhere, huh?"
"Yeah, but I always get out of it!" I knew he was worried. I've had so many accidents and mishaps in the last year and a half, it was a wonder I was still alive. Charlie was probably worried that my somewhat good luck would end.
"And for that, I am grateful." Charlie said. Usually he never voiced his real feelings out load and I knew then that he was scared of me dying one of these times. I would be too if it was my child. No parent should outlive their child. They should buy cribs for them when their babies, but never pick out a coffin for their burial. "Come on, let's head home, it's been a long day." And with that we left the hospital.
When we got home, Charlie went inside, while Jake and I stayed out on the porch. "Jake, will you tell Paul that I'm not mad at him? Never mind, I need to tell him face-to-face, will you go get him for me?"
"Bella," He said, looking at me a little weirdly, "Aren't you afraid he'll attack you again? That this time, he'll hurt you even worse?"
"Jake!! He's your friend!" How could he say that?
"Bella, I meant-never mind-why would you be afraid of anything, your Isabella Swan." He said in a very sarcastic tone.
"Jake, I'm afraid of a lot of things. But I know that Paul would never intentionally hurt me. He was just mad that the Cullen's were back and I was going to leave you for them and break his brother's heart. He was just worried about you, Jake."
"Bella, have you already talked to him?" Jacob asked.
"No, why"
"Because, he didn't even know why. He just got so mad and pissed off at them returning. And then he said something similar to what you said." He gave a small laugh, his eyes shining brightly in the dark. He noticed me staring and his look became more soft and gentle. He leaned down as I reached up so that our lips met. He pulled me closer as the kiss became deeper. Just as I parted my lips, a voice came out of the woods, scaring me to death.
Oooooo guess who it is!!
