I do not own Twilight or any of the characters (Stephanie Meyer does), just this storyline

Chapter 10

Bella's point of view

Edward had Jacob pinned down, his eyes black with fury. "You idiot" He growled. But before he could do anymore Emmett and Jasper had pulled him off and Paul and Embry had pulled Jacob away. My mind was blank, it wasn't until I felt light tugs on my arms that I noticed Alice standing by the side of me, concern in her eyes. "Bella, Bella, are you OK?" "I'm fine" I lied. I tried to stand, but my legs were weak and my mind was dizzy, but for once not from the injury but from confusion. Seeing me struggle, Alice helped me up and I started walking towards Edward.

"Let me go" Edward growled, as Emmett and Jasper did so, he appeared next to me and pulled me to his chest. "I'm so sorry, Bella" His expression was unbearable, his eyes holding regret and anger "For what" I answered. "For hurting Jacob, I know you didn't want me to hurt him, but his uncontrollable" Just as I was about to answer Jacob came back from the tree's clothed and in human form, his face ashamed.

"Bells I'm..." Edward cut him off "Save it mutt" I couldn't get my mouth to speak the words.

"This is what I couldn't tell you Bella, I wanted to but I couldn't. I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt you" His words came out rushed, his eyes staring deep into mine. I opened my mouth to speak but snapped it shut just as quick. I couldn't think clear. It wasn't until I felt the heat from his chest that I realized how close he was to me, Edward just a few inches behind me.

"It's decided then, you keep to your side of the border, we keep to ours. No trouble"Carlisle's voice snapped me back to reality, his words giving me realization. I had to decide. "We can't be friends now your with him Bella" His voice was calm, soft but harsh. "It's always been him though Jacob; Always."

His eyes glistened with tears but before they fell he turned his head abruptly and walked off.

"Edwards armed wrapped around my waist and I instantly leaned into his embrace. I closed my eyes before the tears could escape and felt his cold hand softly touch my cheek.

"Your coming home with us tonight Bella, no buts, I've got plenty of clothes for you, in fact your own wardrobe, so no whining." Without another glance my way, she skipped away, Jasper by her side and the rest of the family running off behind them. I sighed. "Well it's decided then" Edward laughed lightly behind me.

I turned around to face him, my mind spinning from the events today, my choice had been made, my side decided, but had I made the right one?I looked into his eyes, I saw the intensity of the love they held for me, and I instantly knew I had made the right decision. I closed my eyes, but as soon as the darkness overwhelmed me, visions of the wolf appeared, then red, fiery hair entrapped me.

I still had Victoria hunting me, was Jacob safe now? Was anyone safe now?

"You don't need to worry, Bella." His velvet voice sung in my ears, his cold lips touched the top of my head tentatively. But nothing was going to be the same again, I had to be turned. Soon.
