Hey everyone! Quite a short chapter, but I could of made it go on for longer. Sorry for the late update...I've had exams and revision and I've been very tired over the past couple of days. But I'm alright now...and I do promise to get the next chapter up sooner.
Everyone who's reviewed, thank you. Also thanks for voting on whether to keep Jake as friend or not..
I've gone with the majority and also I've had advice of BronzeHairedMystery so thank you!
I hope you like what I've chosen and hopefully you'll keep with the story x
It was about 6:00am when I awoke from my wonderful sleep. I had a dream about me and Edward, and how we were together in his glorious meadow and we were just in our own separate world, a world which was filled with the amount of love me and Edward have for each other. I could of dreamed about it all day, but then I realised that I was in a dream world anyways, I mean, I had my Edward back again. And, he loved me. He actually loved me! My life couldn't get any better.
That was when I noticed that I was back in my own bed, in my house. How and when did I get here?? I never felt Edward running or pick me up or anything. Well...at least Charlie wouldn't have a heart attack and see me not in my bed.
I couldn't get back to sleep so I decided to have a shower and get ready slowly. I did my hair really nice for school today, normally I don't really care about what my hair looks like, but I wanted it to look nice for a change, I don't know why though. I made Charlie some breakfast as well; egg on toast. He was up and gone before I even got around to making him a cup of coffee (he must off been running late, again!) I even decided to start some of my laundry whilst I had some spare time; I couldn't wait till I saw Edward's beautiful face again. I couldn't wait to smell his scent that made my mouth water, and I especially couldn't wait until I could kiss his cold, marble lips.
As I turned the washing machine on, the door bell rang. It could only be one person! I rushed to the door and thankfully didn't trip at all on the way, that would off been embarrassing if Edward has seen me on the floor, again. I opened the door, and I just froze there. It wasn't Edward at all. It was quite the opposite. It was Jake.
He looked quite stern, but not angry or aggressive. I couldn't speak. He was the last person I thought would come knocking at my door at 8.30 in the morning. I could tell he wanted me to say something, but I just couldn't think of anything to say. The last time I saw Jake, I was walking home, in the rain because me and Edward had had an argument. He told me that he never meant to hurt me, and that he was only protecting me from Edward. I told him to give me a couple of days so I could think some things out. It was almost a week since that had happened, and I still didn't know what to do.
I was brought out of my thoughts by Jake walking past me and into my kitchen. Did I tell him to come in? I followed into the kitchen and stood by the door. Jake was leaning over the kitchen table, his head nearly touching it. He was turned away from me and he was shaking quite a bit. I didn't want anything to happen like it did before, and I knew that Edward would be here soon to pick me up for school. If he knew Jake was inside my house, he would kill him. I finally thought of what I was going to say. I had made up my mind. I didn't know if it would be a good thing, or a bad thing, but it's what I wanted. I walked over to Jake with my head held high and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Jake??" He didn't move an inch. If he wasn't shaking so much you might off thought he was a statue. I tapped him again, this time with a bit more force.
"Jake...I need to speak to you." Again, nothing happened. This was starting to get on my nerves now. I mean, for one, he just turns up out of the blue to my house, then he just barges through my door, and now he's completely ignoring me. I wasn't going to have it!
"JAKE!!!" My voice was quite loud, even for me. This time he turned around and stared at me. His eyes looked lost, but I had to remember what I was going to tell him!
"I seriously need to say something to you, and I don't think you're going to like it, but it's what I want! Do you understand??" He just stood there, didn't even nod or anything, so I just carried on.
"Well, the other week, I told you that I needed to think some things out before I decided whether to forgive you or not. I didn't know what to do. I was lost. But, I finally came to a decision that I think will benefit everyone..." Now I was scared. Hopefully if anything did happen, Edward wouldn't be that far away to come and help me. I took in a sharp breath and finally said,
"Jake, you obviously can't accept the fact that me and Edward love each other. We know each other, we understand each other. We are soul mates. I've tried to forget the fact that you hate him with a passion and just tried to get on with it, even when you call him all the names under the sun. But now, I've had enough Jake! I know you're sorry for what happened last week, but I won't ever forget what did happen. I'm sorry Jake, I really am."
Wow, I made it through that without shedding a tear. Jake looked pale. He looked ill. Did he even hear what I said? His shaking had progressed and now his hands looked quite violent.
"Jake...maybe you should go before anything happens. Your hands are shaking really badly Jake." He looked me straight in the eyes. They looked angry now. I was scared he was going to change into his wolf-self and hurt me. I started backing up until I hit the wall behind me. Jake started moving towards me until he was practically touching me. I could feel his body vibrating against me. This was it, he was going to change and I was going to get killed from it. He raised his hand and made it into a fist shape. Then, suddenly, it came towards my face. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't have to see it come onto my face, but nothing touched me. Instead, he brushed past my face by inches and smashed the wall behind me. I had never been so scared in my whole life. His face was all scrunched up and he looked at me with complete hate and disgust.
He obviously knew that Edward would be there in a minute, so he ran out of my house and into the woods. When he was finally gone, I just fell to the floor. I was having trouble breathing. I had never been so scared of my own safety before. And the look that Jake gave me was a look that you would never forget. The hate in his eyes, and the disgust was just awful. I curled up into a ball and just sat there, on the floor, along with some broken tile that had fallen off the wall from where Jake punched it so hard, it actually made a dent in the wall. I just wanted Edward to come and make it all better. To cuddle me and soothe me.
It was only about 3 minutes later when he did come. He ran straight into the kitchen and looked around the room calling my name. It wasn't until he noticed the big dent in the wall that he found me. He kneeled down by me and started stroking my hair. The tears were already in action, and I looked up to Edward and said,
"Edward...ple-as-e..."I couldn't manage any more. That was when I uncurled from my ball and threw my arms around Edward's neck. I started crying my eyes out. I was sobbing and I couldn't control myself with it. Edward pulled me in closer to his chest and he started rocking me back and forth, like a mother does to stop her baby from crying. But I couldn't stop.
We sat there for about 20 minutes, with Edward holding me whilst I cried my heart out. He finally picked me up and started running towards his house. I was still crying, and the wind felt nice on my cold, wet face. Once we'd stopped, I pulled myself closer to Edward. He carried me into his house and up into his bedroom. He laid me down on his new bed and tucked me into bed. He got in the other side and he started stroking my hair and he pulled me in closer to him. The only thing he said to me since he got to me was,
"Bella, you should go to sleep for a bit. I'm going to be here to protect you. Don't worry about anything else."
The crying had actually made me really tired, so I closed my eyes and silently fell into a deep and dark sleep.
Like I said, only a small chapter.
