Chapter 10: Why Him?
I ran as fast I possibly could to Jacob's house. I knew Edward would be furious with me when he read the note I left, but I needed to get away.
As I entered La Push I could see Jacob waiting for me at the door. He had a huge grin on his face, and it was as if I could see his big wolf's tail wagging. Seeing Jacob was just what I needed to clear my head.
I slowed down as I reached the entrance of his driveway. I allowed a smile to inch across my face. "Bells!" Before I knew it he had me in a crushing hug, swinging me through the air. "Hi Jacob! Can you put me down?" I giggled. He softly set me down. "Despite the smell, it's great to see you. I'm glad you left that bloodsucker after what he did to you." I frowned. Sure it looked like I had abandoned Edward but I would go back to him once I had figured out how to deal with what had happened. "Jacob…" I started, "I'm just taking some time to figure out how to handle unexpectedly being a vampire."
EPOV
It was taking Bella a long time to get dressed. Even if Alice had found her and was working her fashion magic, it still wouldn't have taken this long. Worry was starting to set in.
I paced my bedroom for several more minutes; letting the worry sink in and drive me insane. Walking into the hall I immediately spot my pixie like sister. She would be able to tell me what had happened to my beautiful fiancé, and if it was her fault then I would be able to accost her for it.
"Alice," I started. But before I could finish her thoughts invaded my conscious. I can't see Bella! She had decided to leave but I have no idea where she went. Alice's voice nearly yelled in my head. "I have an idea of where she went," I said slowly, "only I hope that I'm wrong." Jacob's? her voice questioned me. I simply nodded as I headed down the stairs to the Volvo.
Obviously running would be faster but I needed the extra time to decide what I was going to say to Bella and how I was going to convince her to return with me. Slipping into the driver's seat, I heard a muffled crunch come from underneath me. Twisting around, I yanked out a sheet of paper. It was a note from Bella, written in her messy brawl.
Edward,
Please forgive me. I needed time to think about this situation. I love you, but I don't know if I can be as close to you again right now. I haven't come to terms with what happened. I am at Jacob's house. Don't worry about me- I'm fine. Don't come looking for me there either. I will come back when I am ready, okay?
Love Bella
At least she was safe. But did she really have to run off to that stupid mutt's house for however long she intends on being gone? She knows he has very strong feelings for her. This wasn't a smart decision. But there isn't much I can do now but honor her wishes and wait for my Bella to return.
