I unfortunately do NOT own Twilight, but Stephenie Meyer taught me...

Always leave my window open at night

Always bet on Alice, not Edward

Chapter 10

Official Goodbye

BPOV

I whimpered as Victoria hand clamped down on my mouth and her face inches from my throat. I kept my hands shut, hoping the blood wouldn't drive her even more insane. Edwards eyes grew wide and angry. Jacob growled and limped forward whimpering when he stood on his left front leg.

"Chief, look in the south forest" shouting in the distance was heard, I whimpered again as it registered. Charlie was out in the forest with all the vampires. Victoria looked up.

"Chief I believe I met him before, he was out hunting with an old man, I gave the poor guy a heart attack" Victoria smirked

Leah snarled and lunged forward, Victoria dropped me and leapt at Leah, Alice and Esme were by my side at a flash helping me up, once I was standing I shrugged them off and ran to Jacob who was now laying down crying in pain, I stroked his head and kissed his wet nose. I looked up in time to see Edward snap Victoria's neck and Leah rip her body in pieces.

"Jacob phase, you have to phase back" Sam ordered, he was in his human form all the pack were except Leah who was walking round in a circle whining.

"Jake phase" I begged "Carlisle what can you do?"

"I can only treat him in his human form it will be almost impossible to treat him for venom in his wolf form" Carlisle answered

Jacob managed to phase into his human form, Embry gave his clothes to Sam and Carlisle carried him back to La Push.

"Bella go, we'll meet you in La Push" Sam pushed me towards my truck

I ran back to my truck and Charlie was standing there with other police and cars.

"Bella what the hell is going on?" Charlie asked "I told you not to go in the forest, someone saw wolves and if you've been running around in there..." Charlie didn't finish his threat.

"I have no time to explain, Jacob is seriously hurt and I have to go"

"Bella!" Charlie called after me

I got In my truck and drove off to La Push, my cell vibrated I had 3 missed calls from Angela. I listened to the message.

"Hey Bella, it's Angela, I've been trying to contact you for ages, but you're not answering you phone, I hope everything is okay, call me when you can"

I pulled up outside Jacobs house, the pack and Cullen's were sitting outside except from Sam, Leah and Carlisle.

"Hey guys, where's Leah?" I asked

"She's still upset about dad" Seth answered

"Hows Jake?"

"Unconscious" Jared answered

"Can I go in?"

"He'll probably want you there if he wakes up" Paul spoke

"If he wakes up?" my voice cracked

I pushed past everyone and walked inside Billy, Carlisle and Sam were sat around the couch with an unconscious Jake laying limply on the couch.

A bright light pierced my eyes, not like switching a light on, but like moving clouds and looking directly at the sun, I groaned.

"Jacob, are you awake?" I recognized my dad talking.

I had no motivation to wake-up. I was glad when the darkness took over me and now it was slowly slipping away even though I was willing it to stay.

"Jake...babe" Bella's sweet voice pulled me away from the darkness as if she was my purpose to live, my eyes shot open

"Gahh!" I regretted it

"Jake" Bella sighed with relief

"We didn't think you'd ever wake up" Billy spoke

I tried to sit up and my whole body cracked "Ah Geez"

"Jacob you need to take it easy, you got it quite bad" Carlisle advised

"I can't feel my left arm" I moaned

"I had to numb it, one of the newborns bit you" Carlisle explained

"How did the fight go?" I asked

"We killed the newborns and Victoria, only one got away" Carlisle spoke

"Got away?" Bella sat up

"I doubt he'll come back" Carlisle reassured her

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to fight?" Bella asked

"It was a bit last minute, Alice had a vision earlier" Carlisle explained

"Babe, everything is fine, no more leec-vampires coming after you" I was careful what to say in front of Carlisle after all he had saved my life.

Carlisle left leaving me with medication to speed up my recovery, not that it was going to be slow. Bella stayed with me most of the night and got up at 8.

"I should get home, Charlie is probably wandering where I am" Bella sighed

"Come visit me tomorrow?" I asked

"Of course, hopefully you'll be up on your feet by then"

"Hopefully" I winked

"Thanks for staying Bella" Billy spoke

"You're welcome, see you later"

BPOV

I said my goodbyes to Billy and Jacob and walked towards my truck. Edward was leaning against the door.

"Hello" Edward spoke

"Hi"

"Carlisle told me Jacob is recovering well, that's good news"

"Yeah"

"I'm going to cut this short, I promised I would protect you from Victoria and I did, I also promised I would leave once I had fulfilled my duties, so I've come to say goodbye"

"Oh" my eyes filled with tears

"I know this has happened before, but this time is forever, last time I lied to make you let me go, but being here I can see that you chose Jacob and moved on with him, I respect that as I know you'll have a long and happy life with him like you deserve"

"I'm sorry things turned out the way they did" I apologized

"I guess the lion was never supposed to fall in love with the lamb"

My breathing became uneven as the tears threatened to overflow, I gave Edward a hug and he kissed the top of my head before disappearing.

This scene was all too familiar apart from this time I wasn't going to chase after him or fall into depression because I knew I had Jacob now, the tears spilled down my cheeks. I got into my truck and drove home carefully. I couldn't control the tears they flowed out my eyes of never seeing the girl who was like my sister Alice again or have Emmett make fun of me, or Esme act all motherly, I pulled up outside my house and walked inside. Charlie got up from the couch.

"Billy called and told me about Jacob" Charlie looked at me and his face fell "Oh no...is Jacob...he's not..." Charlie couldn't finish

"No Jake is fine"

"What's wrong?" Charlie asked

"Nothing, I'm just going to bed"

I went up to my room and put on a t-shirt Jacob left at my house getting into bed, smelling his scent and crying myself to sleep.
