Here is another chapter.

Chapter 10.

Here I sit, reclined on the sofa. I am not staring in front of me, because I can't. You can only guess who is sitting across from me in my fathers recliner. Oh, you are good. Yes, that's right,

JACOB BLACK.

Not that I have a problem with Jacob. He hasn't done anything to harm me. Ever. It's just that he hasn't said a word to me since he got here. It might be because Edward is standing against the wall not to far away, with that look on his face. You know the look-deathly.

"Why didn't you come see me in the hospital?" I ask Jacob, trying to ease the tension.

" I did." He says quickly, looking at me, taking his eyes away from Edward. " Did they tell you I didn't?"

"I meant after I woke up."

"Oh, well. I didn't want to break up the reunion."

"Jacob..." I start, but am interrupted when Edward comes and sits besie me, taking my hands in his. Jacob notices.

"You know that Mr.Swan told me to come here, so that YOU wouldn't show up. It means that you are not suppposed to be here." Jacob's voice is tight.

"Funny. I didn't pick up on that. I may of misunderstood, which isn't my fault. So I don't have to leave." Edward's voice is soft. A deep growl comes from Jacob's throat. "Control yourself, puppy."

"Look Jacob. You dont have to me here. My father is a bit too over protective. I'm quite safe with Edward." I try to stay calm.

"Safe." Jacob laughs. "I doubt it."

"And she's safe with you. You who can't even control yourself.?'"

"I know about the little ordeal that your father has got going on." Jacob stand up and looks at me. "HE'S not supposed to be here."

"Jacob. Im 18. My father can nolonger tell me who I can and can't play with.'' I smile. Edward looks at me.

"You want to play with me?" He asks, one eyebrow raised.

"Of coarse.' I smile, placing a hand on his cheek. He lowers his mouth to mine, and kisses me hard. He trails his lips to my ear and laughs softly. Wondering the double meaning of Edward's laugh, I look up at Jacob. He is standing completely still, his chin lifted slightly, his hands in fists at his sides. I can see his adams apple tighten.

"Let go of her." He says, his voice no more than a croak. Edward squeezes my thigh and releases me.

"I think I'm going to take Bella to my place now. Your work is done, dog." Edward says, grabbing my coat and helping me put it on. I try not to wince as the pain comes from moving my arms. Edward lifts me from the couch, placing my feet on the ground but keeping his arms around me. I look up at Jacob, he doesn't say anything.

"Sorry, Jake." I murmur.

As Edward is belting me into his car, I see Jacob running out of my house.
