Chapter 10: Impossible
I stared at Edward with a confused expression.
He drove back into the driveway in got out of the car. I got out too.
When I was out I looked around to see Edward over at a familiar car.
"You better leave now before I rip your throat out, Mutt!" I heard Edward say.
I immediately knew who it was.
"Don't try to tell me what to do, Leech. Now get out of my way!" Jacob yelled.
Edward growled and I rushed over to break up the fight.
"Jacob I think you should go!" I didn't even look at him. I was just focusing on keeping Edward from attacking him.
I hugged Edward and he gently rose from his crouch.
"Come on, Bells. You know you want to talk to me." I could hear the stupid smile in his voice.
"Bella," Edward said, "If you want I can kill him for you." I looked up at his face to see him smirking.
"No it's fine."
Jacob then ran over and grabbed my arm. He spun me around the face him and Edward reacted quickly.
Edward pushed Jacob off me and pushed me behind him. "Don't ever touch her again!" Edward hissed.
"I will if I want to." Jacob spat at Edward. He then said to me, "Bella, please, I just want to talk to you!"
I looked into his eyes and they were pleading.
I sighed and said, "Fine talk."
"In private, Bella."
"Edward stays or you can leave."
Jacob seemed irritated when he looked over his shoulder and rolled his eyes. "Fine, but can we at least go inside?"
"What's the difference?" Edward said. He really wanted to leave. I could feel his impatience.
"Whatever! Let's just get this over with!" I started to walk towards the house.
Both of them were there before me. Edward opened the door with the key under the eave and let me go in first.
We sat in the living room. I sat in the love seat and Edward came to sit beside me so I got up and sat on his lap.
Jacob just stood in the entrance way.
"You can have a seat Jake." My anger was gone now.
"No, it's okay, Bella. I don't think either of us can stand the smell." He wrinkled his noise and I rolled my eyes.
"Get it over with, Dog." Edward said.
"I wanted to apologize, Bella. I know I should've brought you back to Carlisle when you first talked about missing Mike. I just didn't want to give you up. I-I-"
I got up and walked over to Jacob. "Jake, you were wrong and I accept your apology."
"Can we still be friends?" Jake now seemed a little wary.
"Bella, get away from the Mutt!"
"Edward, he is trying to apologize!"
"Yes, Bella, externally he is apologizing but inside he is just thinking of ways to get you back, even though he never had you." He said the last part a little louder than the rest.
"Stay out of my mind, Bloodsucker!" Jacob yelled.
"Both of you just calm down!" I said.
Edward came over and started to lead me to the door.
"Can't you ever get along?" I begged.
"Sorry, Bella, it's just not in our nature." Jacob explained.
Edward opened the car door for me. I got in while Edward closed the door for me.
I saw him walked back to the house as I groaned.
I decided not to bother interrupting their conversation because they would never have a fight in the open. I did notice Jake trembling, though. He was going to transform.
Right as I was about to get out, Edward started to walk towards the car.
I looked at Jacob's face. It was extremely angry. When he saw me looking at him he put on an expression giving nothing away. He nodded at me once and went to get in his car.
By the time we were driving away Jacob was gone.
"What was that about?" I asked Edward when we were speeding over the bridge towards his house.
He looked at me with wrinkles in his perfect marble face. "What do you mean?"
He was holding my hand and using the other to steer. He didn't pay attention to the road as usual.
"You know what I'm talking about-that little conversation with Jacob you had."
"It was nothing." He wasn't looking at me anymore, just the road.
"Edward!"
"I was just telling him that you and I are still very much together and that he has no chance of getting you."
"Well at least you're right about that."
He smiled and said, "Aren't I always?"
"Not always, but most of the time." I smiled at him and he turned into the driveway of his home.
After a few minutes Edward came over to open my door for me.
"Thanks."
We went arm in arm towards the house.
As we were walking on the lawn towards the door it opened at out popped Alice who ran to me screaming, "BELLA!"
"It's great to see you too" I breathed as she hugged me, lifting me off the ground.
"Alice, don't break her!" Edward joked.
"I won't" Alice said as her little pixie body placed me back on the grass. "So when do you want to go shopping again?"
I missed Alice too much to say no. "Anytime."
Alice absolutely squealed! "Yay! How about his weekend?"
"Whenever you want, Alice."
She smiled her great huge smile. She took my hand and ran, at human speed, to the door. Edward held my other hand so I didn't fall which would've been impossible if both of them didn't have an iron grip on my arms.
We got through the door and there waiting for me by the foot of the stairs was Esme and Carlisle.
I was a little embarrassed to see them again after how I acted.
"You don't need to feel that way, Bella." Jasper said walking into the room.
I was really glad to see Jasper.
I smiled at him sheepishly and walked over to greet Esme and Carlisle.
"Hi. I'm sorry for the way I acted. I've missed you guys so much!"
"Honey, there's no need to apologize. You're family and we love you." Esme said as she came to give me a hug.
When she let go I turned to Carlisle and walked over to give him a hug too.
"Esme's right, Bella. You are family and we'll always forgive you." He said.
"Yeah! How can we not forgive our little human?" Emmett called from behind me.
I turned and ran to him to give him a great huge hug too.
"Emmett!" I yelled running to him, but of course I tripped but he caught me and laughed his booming laugh.
"Still as clumsy as ever, I see."
I smiled weakly and walked back over to Edward's side.
"Yes, Bella, you can hug me if you want." Jasper said looking at me.
I was taken aback when he said this but I smiled and hopped over to greet him too.
The only person I didn't see yet was the one I was afraid to see-Rosalie.
"Where's Rosalie" I asked in general to everyone.
"She's…" Emmett said.
I looked at him and he looked a little uncomfortable which was very weird for Emmett.
He started to flex his muscles in frustration.
"She knew I was coming didn't she." I asked.
"Well everyone sorta knew, Bella." Alice said.
I looked at her and her smile faltered a little.
"Don't worry about it, Bella. Rose is just stubborn. She'll turn around." Emmett said smiling again.
I smiled weakly and Alice grabbed my hand then and said, "Come on, Bella let's go to my room."
We walked to her room arm in arm.
"Bella, I think you should be getting home now." Edward said with a frown.
"Edward!" Alice complained.
I laughed a said, "Edward's right, Alice. Charlie's going to be home soon."
Edward got up from the floor in one swift movement and bent down to pick me up.
He cradled me to his chest. He put me down on the ground after hugging me for a little.
When I was put down I almost fell again but Edward caught and steadied me.
"Well looks like she still has her balance problems." Alice joked.
My face burned red when I remembered Jasper could read my emotions.
I looked at him and he smiled to comfort me.
I smiled back.
I bent down to hug both of them. When Alice finally let go, Edward took my hand and we walked to the car.
On our way down the stairs I heard Edward mumble.
I looked at him in curiosity. He seemed frustrated. My eyebrows puckered together in confusion.
We got to the bottom of the stairs and saw Rosalie talking to Emmett.
When they saw us Rosalie glared at me and ran upstairs. Emmett just said, "Leaving already, Bella?"
"Yeah, it was great seeing you again Emmett." I smiled and walked over to give him another hug.
He gave me his big bear hug. Before he let go he whispered in my ear, "Rose will turn around. Don't worry."
He let go and waved to us as we drove through the trees.
"Emmett's right you know. Rose is starting to turn around, just very slowly."
I looked at him and he was studying my expression.
"I guess I just have to be patient, right?"
"Yep!" He was smiling pretty big now. He'd been smile all day and I don't think I'll ever get used to the feeling of completely bliss is gives me.
I wanted to pout from what he said but I couldn't. All I could do was smile.
"Can you promise me one thing?" I asked.
Edward looked at me wary now. "That depends on what it is."
"If I ever fall in love with someone else again, kill him right away."
He smiled and said, "What if it's a her?"
"Edward!" I said laughing.
"What if you really do love them?"
"Impossible."
