I am so sorry for my lack of updates on this story, I really hope you can forgive me and are still enjoying this story.
The Cullen's had all gathered at the house by the time Jacob arrived with Bella and Edward. Rose and Emmet were stood in the lounge with Alice and Jasper "Where is she?" Jacob asked desperately as he swung the door open "Is she ok?"
"What do you think?" Rosalie snarled furiously "Of course she's not ok, she's a mess?"
"Rosalie" Edward warned "Now's not the time for this"
"Now is the perfect time" Rosalie argued "He should know what he has done"
"Rose Jacob isn't responsible for this" Bella quickly stepped forwards to defend Jacob.
"Probably not but he is the reason Izzy was arguing with Leah in the first place, if you hadn't left her alone none of this would have happened" Rosalie tunnelled all her anger towards Jacob.
"Carlisle how is she?" Jacob moved past the Cullen siblings and towards Carlisle when he saw him walk into the room.
"She's resting" Carlisle said in his usual soft tone.
"See so you can leave now dog" Rosalie spat. Jacob just looked down towards his feet and gritted his teeth trying his hardest not to retaliate.
"No he can't" Esme interrupted "Islaina is asking for you Jacob" she spoke softly as she put her hand on Jacob's arm.
Jacob nodded and followed Esme to Islaina's bedroom he took a deep breath before opening the door. He looked at Esme for encouragement, she nodded gently and gestured him to walk further into the room.
Islaina was laid on her bed; she looked as though she was asleep. Jacob walked quietly towards the bed and leant over Islaina, he could see bandages wrapped tightly around her chest and shoulders "Where's the…" Jacob asked Esme who was standing right behind him.
"She's got a cut across the top of her shoulder, but the main one is on her back. Carlisle has done his best to try and…" Esme was overwhelmed as she thought about the wound on her daughters back "He's done his best to leave minimum scars"
Jacob just nodded and swallowed back his tears, his thoughts were interrupted by a coughing sound "Hey baby" Jacob said as he watched Islaina's eyes flicker open.
"Hi" Islaina smiled groggily "Ow" she flinched as she tried to move.
"Hey don't move, it's ok" Jacob said as he sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed Islaina's hands "I'm so sorry"
"What do you have to be sorry about, this isn't your fault?" Islaina smiled sweetly.
"Yeah we all know who's fault it is" Jacob snarled "I'm gonna kill Leah for this"
"No Jake" Islaina replied sharply "This wasn't really Leah's fault either"
"Are you serious?" Rosalie and Emmet were walking in to the room just in time to hear Islaina's comment "Of course it's her fault, they're all to blame. Him and his pack of mutts"
"Rose stop it" Islaina snapped "I won't let to speak to him that way"
"Izzy's right, Jacob has just as much right to be here as the rest of us" Alice interrupted as she walked in the room "Especially now"
"I'd really like some time to talk to Jake alone" Islaina said as she looked around the room at her brothers and sisters "Please"
After the room was clear Islaina patted the side of her bed so Jacob would sit down "Carlisle said you should be ok to come home tomorrow" Jacob tried to start a conversation with his wife.
"Jake I'm not going back with you" Islaina said softly causing Jacob to stare "I need to be here with my family"
"I thought I was your family" Jacob replied "Izzy what Leah did…"
"I don't want to think about that right now, and I can't go back with you tomorrow either. I'm sorry" Izzy's eyes filed with tears "I need to work out what's happening to me before I can even think about going back there"
"That's ok I will give my dad a call and I can stay here with you" Jacob smiled "We will get through this together ok, what ever this all means I won't let you be alone"
"Jacob please, I just need some space to deal with this by myself first" Islaina could see how hurt Jacob was but she knew she needed to be alone for a while "It's a lot to take in"
"What so that's it, we hit our first bump in the road and you going running back to your family" Jacob lost his cool and started yelling at Islaina "We are meant to be in this together for better, for worse remember?"
Suddenly the door burst open and Edward came rushing in "Calm down" Edward snarled as he protectively moved between Jacob and Islaina "She doesn't need this right now"
"Jacob maybe we should take a walk" Bella interrupted.
"I don't need a walk" Jacob snapped.
"No but you do need to calm down" Bella argued "Come on, we won't go far"
Bella led Jacob out of the house and into the woods leaving Edward alone with Islaina "Are you alright?" Edward asked as he sat on the edge of Islaina's bed.
"Of course I'm alright, Jacob would never hurt me" Islaina yelled angrily "I'm sorry Edward I know this isn't your fault I just…"
"Need to understand what's happening" Edward smiled "It's ok I know what's going on in there remember" Edward pointed gently to Islaina's head.
"How could I forget?" Islaina frowned "I just wish I knew what it all meant" Islaina finally admitted to her older brother "I'm so scared Edward" Islaina sobbed as Edward pulled her into a tight hug.
"It'll be ok" Edward sighed "Alice is already looking for a way out of this and Esme is ringing around "We'll work out what's going on I promise"
x-x-x
Jacob and Bella walked slowly through the trees, Jacob was dragging his feet he didn't want to think about going back inside the Cullen house just yet "Why won't she talk to me" he asked Bella who didn't have a clue how to answer.
"Maybe she's scared" Bella replied "Being a pregnant teenager is scary enough itself never mind under these circumstances"
"Do you think this is my fault?" Jacob asked honestly "You know what Leah did?"
"What?" Bella exclaimed before stopping dead "No of course not, Jake it was Leah who phased and did this not you"
"So you don't think Islaina blames me then" Jacob said as he stood in front of Bella and looked down at the ground.
"No…I just think she needs time to process all the information, I know I would" Bella smiled as he gently touched Jacob's hand "She'll come round in her own time Jake and when she does she is going to need you more than ever"
"I hope you right Bella" Jacob replied he seemed a little less sure about this fact than Bella.
