Chapter 10!
Heart pounding, mind racing, and legs like jell-o, I streaked across the room and grabbed my cell. As fast as I could make my fingers move, I dialed Alice's number. I sat and waited as it rang but all I ended up gettung was her cheery voice mail telling me to leave a message and she'll see if your worthy enough to get back to.
"I better be fucking worthy Alice. I have fucking Edward Cullen inside my house right now. Dad is friends with his dad and apparently they are moving to Forks and have no where to stay. I am not staying in this God damned house with that asshole here so I better be able to come and chill at yours for a while. Please Alice, if you really, truly love me, you would let me. Call me soon please. Bye."
I hung up the phone in a huff. My head was still pounding, and because I was pissed off and scared shitless, it made the pounding worse. I pulled out my toiletry bag and took two Advil, then flopped down on my pillows and tried to let sleep over come me. As I was on the edge between consciousness and unconsciousness, I heard Charlie's voice call from the hallway.
"Bella, come out and meet Carlisle and Edward."
I groaned as I sat up, I was so not ready for this. I heard Edward's voice ask if I was the Bella Swan from Dangerously Sweet, and my father's overly joyful response. You're done for now Bella. I thought to myself as I pulled a hand through my hair. I would get Alice to touch up the brown roots when I went over to her place, if she ever answered my call. I looked pleadingly at my phone before I opened the door and walked out to my doom.
"Good to see you again Bella." Edward said and held out his hand for me to shake it.
"Yeah." I said and kept my hand balled at my side.
Charlie's eyes narrowed as he looked back and forth between the two of us, then shrugged it off.
"Well since you know Edward already Bella, I'm going to ask you to show him around Forks, get him acquainted with all the people. I hope you don't mind."
"No dad, I don't mind at all." I answered sarcasticly looking over at him.
"Something tells me other wise," He mumbled. "Anyway, this is Carlisle, Bella. I'm sure you'll get to know him quite well inside and outside of the house. He is the emergency doctor down at the hospital."
Carlisle hand I shook, and gave him a bright smile also.
"I hope I won't have to see to much, I wouldn't want you hurting yourself."
"I'm not so bad anymore." I laughed and Edward rolled his eyes. "Dad I have a headache I'm going to bed."
Charlie nodded as my phone started to ring. Alice had picked out All to myself, by Marianas Trench as her personal ring tone on my phone, so when it started to play and vibrate in my hand I knew she was calling.
"Thank God Alice. Why didn't you pick up when I called before?" I walked into my room and shot a smug smile in Edward's general direction as Alice babbled and giggled on and on about her excuse. "You know what. Just stop. I really don't give a shit. I need a place to stay until Edward's gone. Mind if I crash at your's till he leaves?"
"Sorry Bella, I'm already sporting Alex, Max and Jasper. And you know Mom would flip at us because we would go straight to work on new song and stuff. You know how she gets. All work and no play kids," Alice did a poor imitation of her mother. "That's not good for young people. Here's what we will do. I'll find stuff we can do to keep you out of the house unless it's necessary for you to be home. Sound good?"
"Yeah I guess. Thanks Alice." I hung up the phone and dropped onto the bed.
My clothes were still piled in a corner half of what was left, outside of the bag and strewn where ever it fell, others still neatly folded into the suitcases. Sighing I got up and started unpacking again. My head still throbbed and I couldn't help but rub my temples every now and then. At the sound of knuckles being rapped against my window in a knock, I jumped and looked towards the window.
"Jacob!" I called in an excited voice.
"Heard you were back. It's good to see you Bells." He said. I opened the window and he took me into a big hug.
Jacob. I hadn't seen him in forever. I snuggled into his shoulder and breathed him in. He still smelled the same. Like the woods, a sort of musky scent. Jacob had been one of my greatest friends since I was little and it was so good to see him again. We stood by the window, hugging, just relishing in the moment, when knuckles rapped against my door.
"Bella?" Edward's voice came from outside the door. "I think we need to talk about what happened this afternoon, I know I shouldn't have kissed you like that, but you kind of kissed me back. Please Bella open the door."
Jacob pulled away and looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"I don't want to talk Edward just go away." I said looking at Jacob with pleading eyes. He pulled me back into a hug, and kissed the top of my head.
"Please Bella."
"Listen buddy, she said she didn't want to talk so either step away from the door or I'll make you." Jacob growled.
"Jake!" I said slapping him.
"Jake?" Edward asked after a beat.
Pulling away from me Jacob went over and opened the door.
"Hey the names Jacob Black, and while I'm here and part of Bella's life, you wont be so the best thing to do right now, would be to back off." Jake said with a smile on his face that made him look dangerous.
Jake was at least a half a foot taller the Edward, but the way Edward spoke to him, it seemed as though Edward was much, much bigger.
"Let's leave that up to Bella, shall we?"
"As I said before Edward, just go away."
Edward's glaring eyes tore from Jacob's face and he sent me a pained look, but still he stepped away and back down the stairs.
"You had no right Jake."
"I had a feeling about the other fuck face didn't I? And now look, he's gone. So I think right now it would be best if we all just listened to me for once."
I sighed and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"You're to protective for your own good Jake." I chuckled into his chest.

Oh man she brought Jacob Black into the picture. What happens now? Edward seems a little pissed don't you think, so does Jake... I wonder why? Hmmm, there is something to ponder over.
Love you all, keep up the reviews.
