Alright as promised Chapter 8 Is up and posted today! :) Not much to say except remember, this is just the way twilight went, and to enjoy this very emotional chapter!

Chapter 8

"Accident? What type of Accident?" I asked, feeling panic settle in the pit of my stomach.

"A car accident. Apparently their car swerved off the road and down a hill. They're both in critical care but-"

"What no! My Mom wasn't even with my Dad today! Your mistaken them with someone else, there are other Blacks in this city."

"This is the number that a... Billy Black gave me Sir, I'm just doing my jo-"

I hung up the phone and turned back to Bella, who laid a hand on my arm, looking at me with concern in her eyes.

"Jacob? Is everything alright?" She asked.

I grabbed her hand. "We have to go, my parents just got into a car accident."

Her eye's widened and we ran back to the car speeding off to the hospital. The air was filled with tension as I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles were turning white. I felt Bella's soft hand rub over my fingers, and its like she had some type of power over me as they unconsiously relaxed.

"Think positive thoughts Jacob." She told me quietly. I glanced over at her seeing a reassuring smile on her face. "I'm sure they will be just fine."

I returned the small smile and lift her hand to my mouth, placing a kiss on it.

"I sure as hell hope your right."

Once we arrived, Bella sat in the waitingroom while I approached the receptionist.

"I'm here for Sarah Black. Somebody called me saying her and... my Father were in a car accident."

"Jacob, is it?" A mans voice asked.

I turned and saw a man who looked to be about in his thirties make his way over to me.

"My name is Dr. Charlisle Cullen, I just got out of the room with your Father. He is alright for the time being, but he may have the chances of being permanetly paralayzed from-"

"What about my Mom? Is she okay? She made it out right?" I asked.

My heart all but exploded when he sighed and put a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry son, but there was nothing we could do to save her."

"What the fuck do you mean there was nothing you could do to save her? There's always something, your a fucking doctor!" I yelled, fighting the tears burning eyes.

"She hit her head and died on impact Jacob, I'm really sorry for-"

"Where is she? Tell right now!"

"We're preparing to put her body in the morgue."

"TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!" I roared, a traitorous tear running down my cheek.

He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes. "Room 326. Your Dads in the room 223 If you want to-"

I ran to the elevator as soon as the words about my Mom were out of his mouth. I impatiently pushed the down button, not wanting to believe him.

'She isn't dead...She couldn't be...I never got to say goodbye...' I kept repeating to myself over and over as I rode the elevator down to the right floor. Once I got to my destination I ran down the halls searching for her room and when I finally found it I burst through the door and was almost brought down to my knee's at the sight.

She was covered in a white sheet, yet the sheets under her were drenched in blood.

"Ma..." I whispered, letting the tears flow freely now. I ran over to her bed and shook it. "No Ma your not dead! You can't be dead! Wake up!" I cried. I shook it again. "Wake up!" I had fallen to my knees at this point. "Please wake up..."

When I finally realized that She wasn't going to wake up, I hugged my knees to my chest and sobbed.

I cried about all the times I said I didn't love her, all the times I fought with her and called her names, I cried for all the times I took her for granted and disappointed her with all the trouble I got into. She never deserved any of it. Just like she didn't deserve this.

I clenched my fist as a anger coursed through my veins.

I could feel the anger I felt towards myself, but no, the anger for my so called "Father" overlooked that.

I don't even know what the hell he could've possibly wanted with my Mom when he picked her up tonight, but I do know if she had never gotten into that car with him, she would still be alive.

I stood up remembering the doctor told me, he was in room 223. I stormed down to that floor like a bull out of the gate. I knew I couldn't hurt him here, but I damn sure would try. I hated that man with every fiber in my body.

Finding his room, I opened the door and his eyes drifted over towards me as I shut it behind me.

"Jacob. I didn't think you would-"

I cut him off with a swift punch to the jaw.

"YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING! YOU ALWAYS TAKE EVERYTHING GOOD OUT OF MY LIFE!" I screamed. " First you leave me and Mom, we don't hear from you in almost 12 years (He left when Jake was 5!) Because of some whore andnow all of a sudden your back ready to play Daddy?"

"Jacob-"

"No SHUT-UP! Why was Mom even in the car with you tonight? Huh? She has a perfectly good fucking car at home and could've drove herself to work."

"I wanted to talk! I never planned on arguing! I wasn't looking at the road and we collided with some truck that knocked us off the road."

The tears started up again. "Its your fault she's dead you selfish son of a bitch. If you would've stopped trying to have your cake and eat it to then she would still be here right now, my Mother would still be here. You disgust me. You should've went in that car crash, not her." I spat, before leaving the room and back to the waiting room.

I saw Bella sitting there, strumming her fingers on her leg, knawing on her bottom lip, her eyes darting around the room almost nervously.

"Bella..."

She jumped up at the sound of my voice and I embraced her in my arms.

"Oh Jacob," She said softly, hugging me tightly. "I'm so sorry. I talked to the doctor after you stormed off."

"Bella, I need you tonight. I can't stay in that house by myself. God...If my Dad would've just fucking stayed away..." I gripped the back of her dress tightly and she rubbed my back.

"Shh. I'll see if my Father will let you stay with us for the night. Its going to be okay Jacob, everyones time to go comes sooner or later, its not up to us decide when, its just up to us to make the most of life before and I know your Mom lived a fulfilled life."

"Thanks." I whispered into her hair.

She pulled away from me and smiled that soft smile I loved so much, and some of the pain in my heart melted away.

"Come on, you should be getting some sleep after this. I'll drive."

...

There were no words said between Bella and I the whole ride home. No words were needed as she let me silently mourn.

When we arrived at her house, she excused herself to talk to her Dad, and I was emotionally worn out, and all my tears were gone.

"Daddy, said it was okay for you to stay,but you'll be sleeping on the floor in my room." She said quietly.

"Thats fine. I just... I need to be close to someone."

She lead me upstairs and set me up an small spot on the space beside her bed. I took off my shoes and plopped down with a sigh, running a hand over my face. She laid on her own bed facing me.

"Get some sleep Jacob. It will get better with time. I promise." She said.

I looked up at her, my eyes getting blurry again. "I love you Bella."

She didn't say anything back, Just grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

But that was all the reassurance I needed.

...

Two weeks later, I was watching them bury my Mom, forcing my face to remain neutral when all I wanted to do was go pound something or someone until the pain went away. I felt a hand on my should and turned to see Embry standing there.

"Look Jacob... I'm sorry. I know I haven't exactly been a good friend lately, but I just wanted to come pay my respect to your Mom, you know you guys were always like a second family to me."

I patted him on the back and smiled alittle. " Its cool. Thanks for coming man. No Quil?"

"Nah, you know his head is shoved so far up his own ass, he can't even come to his bestfriends Mom's funeral."

I chuckled. "I still thought he would've come though, I guess he really is that self-centered."

"You did give him a pretty nice shiner a couple weeks ago."

"Yeah that was a pretty good fucking punch huh?"

He laughed and then looked over my shoulder. "Here comes your girl."

I turned around and saw Bella make her way towards me. She was wearing a white dress with her green sweater over it.

"Hi Jacob, Embry." She greeting, smiling at both of us.

I pushed aside my stupid bad-boy ego that said not to show her any affection in front of Embry, and leaned down to kiss her head.

"Hey Mar...Bella." Embry quickly covered. "So are you two a thing now?"

I looked down at her and smirked, "Yeah I guess you could say that."

She smiled back and Embry surprisingly did too.

"I can see how much she changes you dude, maybe she can keep your ass out of jail."

He dodge my punch and laughed.

"Thanks Em, for coming. It means alot." I said.

He didn't reply, just gave me a look that said he would always have my back, and walked away.

"How are you?" Bella asked softly.

I shrugged. "Better. I still miss her like crazy, but I'm learning to live with it. I know she's watching over me."

"I see I'm rubbing off on you." She joked.

I chuckled. "Oh gosh, shoot me now!"

She giggled and bumped my shoulder with hers. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"You should come star gazing with me tonight Jacob. I know its not cool, but It would be nice to have you there. And it is actually very relaxing."

I thought about it for a minute. Once again I was fighting with the bad guy still inside me, and the new, softer Jacob. I felt like one of those cartoons who had the devil and angel on his shoulder fighting.

"Um, yeah I guess I could go with you... At night right?"

She giggled softly, "Thats when the stars are usually out."

I rolled my eyes and pinched her side, watching her wince and hiss.

"I'm sorry did I hurt you?"

"No no, I'm fine. My...My sides are just really sensitive is all."

My brows furrowed. It sounded like she was lying to me, but this was miss perfect Bella. She wouldn't lie to me. Would she?

"You sure?"

She nodded. "Positive. I'm going to get a drink okay?"

This time I nodded and watched her walk off with a feeling in my stomach that there was something she wasn't telling me. But before I could even think about that too much I heard a voice behind me.

"Son?"

So I'm really nervous about this chapter, because it changes alot, even though I'm going to try and stick to the original plot as much as possible. Anywhoooo, so Bella's got some secrets! Although I think we all know what ;) What do you think is going to happen between Billy and Jake? Will they have another fall out or settle their differences? Find out next time!
