Chapter 10
Alice was freeking out. Edward and I had been backstage for about fifteen minutes while Emmett and Rose looked for Alice and Jasper. Before they got there, I had been hyperventilating, and Edward had been trying to calm me down. "Listen, Bells. You're going to be fine, ok? Em and Jasper are here and so am I. Not just that, but we know Rose can hit about anything and break it. I promi-" I cut him off. "You don't understand." I said, shaking my head. "He's strong, Edward. Believe me. I know." I said, looking down at the floor now. He took a deep breath before taking the step over to me and wrapping me in his arms. I put my forehead on his chest as Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and last but not least Emmett, came through the door. I turned twoards them, my head still placed on Edward's chest.
"Can you tell me why the crap we are being dragged back here and not out on the dancefloor dancing?" Alice asked, iritated. "I would like to be filled in too." Rose said, curiosly. Emmett, Edward, and I looked at each other, then Edward looked at me and let go slowly. He stood where everyone could see him. "Do you remember Bella's old boyfriend, Jacob?" Edward asked the three of them. "Well, he beat her up. You were wonderful observers." he said, dryly. Alice looked like she had just been taken to the moon and back. Rose looked worse. She looked like Emmett had just died. The pain on her face was clear. Emmett cringed. He didn't like the idead that it had happened and he could have stopped it. Jasper was just dumbfounded. "Well, he came to this school. And he is here right now. Looking for Bella." he ended. "Is she still going to walk across the-" Alice was interupted by the door swinging open. And standing in it was Jacob Black. I cringed as Emmett and Edward took a defensive stance in front of me. I stood, in my dress. I had been so happy earlier, but know, it was as if everything had just crumbled through the cracks.
"Bella. I always thought you were beautiful in blue." Jacob said, smiling. "Now come dance with me." he continued, moving twoard me. Emmett kept his stance, which stopped Jacob in his tracks. "What do you have body gaurds now?" "Only from you." Alice sneered. He turned to look at her. Edward moved to my side and took my hand, rubbing it slowly with his thumb as I gripped tighter. "Alice? Is that you?" he asked, walking to her to hug her. "Don't. Touch. Me." she said. He looked puzzled, like he didn't know what was going on. He turned to Rose, and she backed away. Emmett twitched, but didn't leave his stance. He knew she could hold her own. She stepped back, and he didn't even try to go near her. He knew now. He knew that they knew everything. He turned to me, and looked me up and down. He stopped on Edward's hand interlocked into mine. Jacob walked over to the door, closed, and locked it. "So I'm guessing they know?" he asked. "Hell yes we know! You sorry son of a-" "So you just go and tell people now, Bella!? I thought we had this our little secret talk." Edward's grip tightened as did mine. He stood where he was, still lokking at mine and Edward's hands. "So, you've been cheating on me too? You ho. You should know better."
"You broke up with me! For a girl that didn't even like you!" I yelled. He was angry now. I should have kept my mouth shut. He moved twoards me, but Emmett cut him off. He looked up. "Emmett, buddy. Come on. Good times in athletics. Rmember that?" he said, smiling. Emmett just looked straight ahead. "Fine. Be an-" Just then the door rattled. I looked at my phone and realized it was time to go with Edward and walk across the stage. I wasn't so exited about it now. Jacob looked at the door, and then back at me. "I will get you, Bells. You can count on it. It won't be when you have your friends around either." he said, then turned and opened the door. The people must have gone to get a key, because no one was there, so Jacob just walked out. I fell back against the stage, out of breath, and Edward worridly put his arms around me again. Alice and Rose ran over to me, and Emmett turned. I lifted my head after a few minutes. "Let's go get presented." I sighed. Edward grabbed my hand and led me to the very end of the line.
Sorry it's so short, but I will write more this week. I promise.
