Bella's POV

All Human

Chapter 10: Emotions Run High

Jacob hand's gripped on my arms so tight that I thought it was going to break. I became scared, Jacob was strong and I was worried that he was going to break my arms – which would result in him regretting it later. His anger became uncontrollable, he doesn't even know what he is doing.

"Jacob," I said in a low voice, it was all most a whisper, "Think about what you're doing. You're hurting me Jacob please let me go." I asked.

"Why do you keep saying that! Why do you keep asking me to let you go! Bella I can't!" Jacob shouted so loud that I thought it was going to make the house shake. Jacob needs to snap out of this before one of us gets hurt – and by one I was pretty sure I was going to get hurt physically – suddenly Jacob moved closer and began to kiss me. I tried not to kiss back but I thought that if I did then maybe he would let go of me.

This lasted for a while – though it seemed like forever to me – until Jacob finally pulled away. I looked into his eyes, only to notice that I was starting to cry. Was it because I betrayed Edward? I looked away from Jacob, his grip didn't loosen, I don't think it bothered me anymore. I was hurt, emotionally and soon physically.

"Jacob I am so sorry," I confessed in a whispered. Tears then began to come down my face. I felt like to drop to my knees but Jacob was holding me so tight that I felt my feet a little bit off the ground. Jacob grinned.

"You can't tell me now that you didn't feel anything in that kiss?" Jacob asked.

I didn't, I felt as if I just hurt him more. I remained silent but Jacob wanted an answer, I couldn't give it to him, I wasn't going to hurt him anymore. I couldn't hurt him anymore. Jacob was my best friend and I was yanking on his heart like it was a toy. The tears kept falling down my face uncontrollably. Seconds later the front door flew open, I thought it was Charlie but I saw Edward run through the door. I am pretty sure that what he saw set off all his nerves.

"Jacob Black!" Edward shouted in the most horrific of angry voices. I have never heard him speak that way to anyone. Jacob dropped me as I fell to the floor. Hearing Edward shout like that frightened me. It took me a moment to notice that the palms of my hand were now covered in blood. I realised that I had fallen on the broken glass pieces from the cup Jacob broke.

Since both of my hands had fallen onto the broken glass pieces I was unable to move it – which also meant that I couldn't move to get the glass pieces out. Great I was stuck like this?

"Cullen you bastard!" Jacob responded in Edward scream and before I knew it Jacob had swung a fist at Edward. Edward took the hit but took only a few seconds before he turned around and hit Jacob on his face in return. A fight had broken out.

"That's enough stop it!" I shouted. But they weren't listening to me so I did the only thing I knew to do, I needed to call for help. So with bloody hands which had glass it in, I took in the pain and called Emmett on my cell phone, "Emmett help! Jacob and Edward are in a fight at my house; please hurry," I shouted over the phone. I knew Emmett wouldn't waste any time because before I finished he hung up and was on his way over here.

None of the Cullen's drove slowly so I knew that Emmett wouldn't waste any time getting here. I wish he would get here soon. And before I knew it Edward and Jacob were throwing punches like it was nothing. Jacob hit Edward in the face and Edward wasted no time in hitting Jacob in the head. The two were really trying to kill one another. Punches after punches, swings after swings, there was no end in sight to this fight.

And there was nothing I could do. I knew that if I were to get in the way I would risk hurting myself, and the way they were acting not even my pleads for them to stop was working so why devastate my time in trying to stop two fully grown men in a fight I was completely helpless in.

Less than five minutes later Emmett and Jasper ran through the door and began to pull the two away from each other. But Edward and Jacob didn't try to stop because they tried to fight their way from the arms of Emmett and Jasper so that they could fight again.

"Bella!" Alice shouted running over to me, "Bella this looks very serious are you all right?" Alice asked as she helped me to my feet. I remained silent whiles Rosalie walked into the house calmly. Rosalie noticed me first and then sighed as she walked over to Edward and Jacob. What was she doing? Rosalie stepped in the middle of both Jacob and Edward as they looked at her.

"You two are fools. Fighting like children…you guys aren't seven anymore. Bella isn't a prize to be won, she's a human. Who is obviously hurting because of you both. This fight didn't help…you two idiots ignored the person you're fighting for when she's hurt. You morons," Rosalie words were harsh but she remained calm throughout the whole thing.

Jacob and Edward turned to me, they noticed my hands –for the first time – and gasped. I didn't know what they were thinking at that moment, but after what I saw, I had to look away from both of them. It was too painful to even watch them…to know that I caused them to hurt each other. They were once best friends…and now they are trying to kill each other because of me.

"I've called Carlisle already, he's waiting for us. Em, Jazz take those two in different cars to the hospital. I am taking Bella, she needs to see a doctor right now. As for you two, I hope your bloody well proud of yourselves." Rosalie added as she took my arm. I flinched when she took it. Rosalie eyes shot open wider whiles she lifted the sleeve off of my arm to notice Jacob bruise.

Her face was in utter disgust that she looked at Alice and walked out of the house. Alice took me gently as we walked out of the door. I didn't even look at Jacob and Edward, how could I? Rosalie was already in her BMW. We got inside and she wasted no time. Before Alice got to close the door Rose drove off to the hospital. I looked back to see that Jasper and Emmett were getting the other two in the car. Both held back with their arms behind their backs like they were criminals getting arrested.

We got to the hospital; when we got there Carlisle was already waiting for us, "Bella, have a seat. Looks to me like we're here again. And all most in the same circumstance huh? Where are the other two?" Carlisle asked as he began to take care of my hand. I watched as he took his tools and began to pull the small pieces of glass out.

"Emmett and Jasper are bringing them up here. Daddy don't be mad at Edward okay?" Alice asked in a sweet voice, she was buttering her father up.

Carlisle grinned and looked up at Rosalie, he was asking her what happened, "The two got into a fight. They were beating the crap out of one another. Bella called for help; she has some bruise on her arms also Carlisle. Those might need some ice; I am going back home, Esme might be worried out of her mind. We all just kind of ran out of the house," Rosalie said walking down the hallway. Alice then came and sat beside me. Whiles Carlisle was working on my hand Alice occasionally looked at her phone as if she was waiting for something.

"I'm sorry Carlisle. Edward is only doing this for me…and I end up hurting them both," I said bitterly. I've caused so many people pain since I came back to Forks. Was this really the best idea that I could have made?

Emmett then walked into the room, "We brought them here dad. When you're done can you look them over?" Emmett asked patting me on my head. Was he comforting me? Carlisle nodded as Emmett left.

"You need two stitches. But other than that I think you're okay." Carlisle confessed.

I nodded, "Please don't tell Charlie about this, he's still getting the hang of being a dad, I don't know what he would do if he found out that Jake and Edward fought and I got hurt," I asked. Carlisle seemed all right with this. Because when he was done he handed me a lollypop.

"You use to love these when you were smaller. Bella I know how you must feel, but this is not your fault. Though in every direction you look it might seem that way, it isn't all right? Jacob and Edward need to learn how to become true understanding men. Believe it or not I fought for Esme. And although I won I still learnt a lot, fighting doesn't help. Bella it isn't your fault all right?" Carlisle asked. I nodded my head and smiled whiles I accepted the lollypop.

"That's a girl. Now I got to attended to those two. But don't worry, I won't let them off easy. Alice I am trusting Bella in your care," Carlisle said with a wink. I smiled as he walked out of the room. I just sat there looking at my sore hands, they didn't look so eye-catching.

"Bella are you all right? Remember what my dad said? It isn't your fault. None of this is your fault. Bella I know this can't be easy for you; I know I am not one to talk because I've been pretty lucky when it comes to love. But for you, you just got to be strong okay?" Alice asked.

Tears were running down my face again, but I had to nod, "Alice, I need to go home. If Charlie come home and see's the mess there he's going to wonder what happened; he'll get worried." I told Alice but she looked pretty content with the situation.

"That's one part I can assure you that you don't have to worry about, Rose is there. She went to clean up the house. See she texted me when you were getting your stitches. Esme isn't home, she went to do some shopping. Rose only said that because she doesn't like to admit everything out in the open. She's a very modest person believe it or not." Alice said showing me the message with a giggle. Whoa Rose was at my house…and cleaning it!

Rosalie was super nice, "You are coming back with us okay? No Edward, no Jacob today. Just you, me, Rose, and perhaps Jazz and Emmett. But hey it's a win still, are you ready to go now Bella?" Alice said linking arms with me gently as we began to walk outside to the parking lot. I wasn't going to say no to her offer though, I need a day away from Edward and Jacob. When we got out to the parking lot we saw that Emmett and Jasper were leaning on Alice's car.

"We called in two separate cabs to take the boys home. They have a lot of thinking to do. Carlisle speech lasted at least a good half hour." Jasper said stretching out his hand for Alice to take it. And sure enough Alice took his hand as he spun her around and held her close.

Emmett took my hands, "Looks like you were hurt pretty bad. Let me treat you out for ice cream. Rosalie we will met up with us later. Let's go little sis, we're off for ice cream. Alice we're going to take my jeep okay?" Emmett said picking me up and giving me a piggy back ride as we walked down the path way towards his jeep.

"Emmett I can still walk," I said in a shy voice.

Emmett didn't seem to have heard me because he kept walking until he loaded me in his jeep and then we began to drive off to go somewhere. At first I thought we were going in the direction of La Push but suddenly Emmett made a turn and we were on a dirt road. Finally we got to a small house in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by tress and high enough to see the beach that was in La Push. The area was breath taking and the house was stunning.

"Welcome to the old play house Bella. When we were little, Emmett, Edward and myself would come here to play. Carlisle built it just for us, Esme decorated it also. This place seemed appropriate to come to. It's the last place Edward would come to, and Jacob doesn't even know about it. And now Bella, this is your sanctuary, this is yours." Alice told me.

I snapped my head to her, "Alice…I cannot accept this. I mean, the house?" I questioned again.

Emmett smiled and hugged me quickly, "Bella no one deserves this more than you do. We all need a safe haven to run to. And right now what you need is a safe haven," Emmett confessed to me. I was left speechless, then Alice linked arms with me as we walked into the house.

This was like a second house! When I walked inside I saw a living room and down the hall was a kitchen, there were even bedrooms. It was like a bungalow! This hardly is considered to be a play house. We all walked into the kitchen where Rosalie was washing her hands.

"Oh I didn't even notice you guys coming in. Bella this is yours." Rosalie said handing me my cell phone. It was clean, she obviously cleaned if off when she went back to my house.

"Rosalie. Thank you." I confessed meaningfully. Rosalie nodded and took Emmett's hand as they brought out the ice cream that Emmett promised. I knew that was her way of accepting my gratitude. We sat at the round table snacking on ice cream, apples and cookies.

"Bella. Are you sure that you are all right with what happened today? You seem calmer than I would be if what just happened, happened to me," Alice told me.

I looked at her and nodded. I was such in a state of guilt that I couldn't say anything. Two guys that I deeply cared for got into a fight because of me. Maybe moving back to Jacksonville would be the best thing for me to do.

"Bella?" Jasper said touching my hand, "This isn't your fault. Jacob and Edward aren't helping you in this situation. Both guys are passionate for you, and you're having a hard time with that, it's normal. You can't expect to have all the answers. Edward and Jacob are the ones that need to start making choices now, not you. You've made your choice. It's up to them now," Jasper informed me. I wasn't sure what to tell him, I knew that he had to be right.

"Maybe there is one more choice I have to make." I confessed.

"And what's that Bella?" Alice questioned me.

I took in a deep breath, "My mom as asked me to go back with her to Jacksonville. Perhaps it's better if I take her up on her offer. I am considering leaving Forks…and going back to Jacksonville." I informed them as the expressions on their face turned from content to serious.
