As for my story going to explose well, its going to do a little explosion in this chapter here,
Chapter 12
Jacob opens the car door for me; the restaurant in Port Angeles. Walking in I feel that we have stepped back in time, like back to the fifties maybe. We walk up to the hostess who is staring at Jake. If she doesn't watch it her eyes are going to pop out of their sockets.
He greets her and asks for a table, she finally composed herself and showed us to a table.
"Well, this is an interesting place; may I ask how you found it?" I ask trying to start conversation.
"Um, well Sam suggested it; this is where he asked Emily to marry him" He swallows hard. Great he can't be thinking that we have something like that going on.
"How nice" I smile warmly, trying to hide my worries.
The waitress comes up, and her eyes have literally popped out of her skull when they set on Jake. She is beautiful; a girl like her is what Jake should go for not someone like me.
"What can I get you to drink?" The waitress asks Jake directly.
"Um a Sprite" he answers then looks at me. He must notice that she is trying to hit on him.
"Ok I will get that for you." She goes to walk away.
"Excuse me" I say with authority, yeah she might be older than me but I have been through more.
"Oh sorry" She say with fake sincerity.
"Yeah I bet you are." I sigh trying to gain back some composer, "I would like a sprite also please."
"Yeah can do" She walks away.
"I am sorry I had no idea…" Jacob begins. I laugh a little.
"Jake that is to be expected considering how gorgeous you are."
He blushes "I think the only one here that is gorgeous is you Bella."
I sigh "Jake I think we should talk."
"Look I know that you haven't had the best experiences with wolves but please just give me a chance."
"Jacob I would love nothing more than give you a chance. And the whole wolf thing has nothing to do with why I don't want you as nothing more than just a friend. I don't want to be hurt. I won't be able to handle it if you left me." I say, trying to be as gentle as I can but I have a feeling that it came out wrong.
Before Jake can respond the waitress brings our drinks to us.
"What would you like to eat?"
"A steak with fries." Jake says not looking at her or me. Dam I hurt him, how can I make this better. I am pretty sure though that he'll hate me when he finds out that I am totally falling for his enemy a vampire. Great Bella dig yourself a bigger grave.
I order the same as Jake, and then she leaves.
"What makes you think I would leave you?"
"Jake, you haven't imprinted on me, meaning that I am not the one for you. We don't belong together. Someone out there is the one for you. And when she comes along whenever that may be, you will leave. You will be sorry but you can't help it. I understand that, so to avoid that I just want to be friends." I say warmly meaning every word of it. I do like Jake he has been great since I have moved here. He has helped me with the kids; he put my house in order. I love having him around, but it's just not to be more than that.
He takes a deep breath. "I understand. You are right, but I am glad that we can be friends."
I smile "Yes so am I"
"So, do you know who this Edward is that your kids are excited about?"
I see the waitress with our food, thank you lord.
She puts the food down and we dig in. It's absolutely wonderful.
"And to answer your question, yes I do know who they are talking about." I say between bites. I really wish we could avoid this conversation but when I do decide to actual go out with the god creature Edward I think that he should be prepared.
"Who is he?" Of course he would ask that. Gosh what do I say, well the truth will come out sooner or later, might as well be sooner.
"Well, his name is Edward Cullen." I look right in Jakes eyes; it immediately hit him on who Edward is.
"Bella, you know what he is." His voice is shaky, and then his hands follow.
"Jake calm down ok. I can't help who I fall for."
"SO YOU ACTUALLY LIKE A BLOODSUCKER!" He yells.
Everyone gets quiet and looks at us.
"Goodbye Jake." I say calmly and get up and walk away. I don't have a ride home but I don't care, he really hurt me. I should have expected that though I mean really they are enemies.
I walk out of the restaurant, every set of eyes are on me as I walk out. On the street the tears begin to steam down my face.
I understand that it's not the best thing to fall for a vampire, but it's not like he is a bad vampire. I forget every time that I am around him that he is one. I know that I probably should be with Jake, but I can't, I want to be with Edward. If I am going to give someone a chance it's going to be Edward.
I finally look at my surroundings, dam where the hell am I? I can hear noising coming from a building just up a head. I walk closer and realize that it is a bar, great. I quickly turn the other way, till I heard nothing and see no one. I sit on the cold pavement sidewalk.
The tears are coming down more frequently, I mess everything up. I don't know what triggered this but everything that I have been holding back is coming out.
My family gone, I have nothing. My kids deserve so much better they deserve a mother ten times better than me. They deserve to have a father and grandparents. I lost my parents, my parents.
I cried for a long time, still no Jacob. I know he can find me; he does have a seriously good sense of smell.
I take my cell out, great I have 10 missed calls, and I completely forgot that I had it on silent. All the calls but two are from my kids, the other two are from a number that I don't recognize.
I call my kids back.
"MOM! Are you ok?" Piper asks.
"Yeah baby I ok. Have you heard from Jake?"
"Yea, the ass is right here."
The freaking jerk, he left me here. I know that I hurt him a little but shit. The tears are welding back up.
"Bella?" He rusty voice comes through the phone.
"Thank for leaving me here." I say acidly.
"I couldn't find you I thought you got a ride home I looked for you everywhere."
In the back ground I hear Chris yell "Don't worry mom Edward is picking you up he will be there in five four three two…"
Sure enough and silver Volvo pulled up next to me.
Jake POV
"Bella, you know what he is." My voice is shaky, and then my hands tremble. I am trying so hard not to phase right here and now. I don't want to hurt her.
"Jake calm down ok. I can't help who I fall for." She says sincerely, but I explode.
"SO YOU ACTUALLY LIKE A BLOODSUCKER!" How can she fall for such a creature?
The restaurant gets dead quiet; I can guarantee that everyone is looking at us. And by the way Bella is looking around, I am right.
"Goodbye Jake." She says, then gets up and walks away. Everyone is looking at her, including me. Instantly I calm down. What have I done? I shouldn't be mad at her. I mean I wish she could fall for me but she is completely right I shouldn't involve myself with someone that I will hurt in the future. But way of all things she could fall for, why a bloodsucker?
It's not like the Cullen's are horrible, the legend about them tells about how calm and gentle they are. I just hate them because they made our wolf genes kick in.
Everyone is back to their own lives and the waitress comes with the check.
"She doesn't deserve a guy like you." She says with a warm smile.
'No it's the other way around I don't deserve her."
She sits down across from me where Bella should be if I would have just let it be.
"No, she completely tossed you for another guy."
"She wasn't mine in the beginning." I got up and paid the bill and went outside. I am expecting her to be at the car, but when I go there she wasn't. I tried to follow her sent but I couldn't find it. I searched for an hour before I went back to her house. She must have gotten a ride home.
I entered the house, Chris came out of nowhere and punched me in the groin and I fell to the floor.
"How dare you do that to my mom?" He walks off to Piper who is on the phone with someone. Then I hear a click she must have hung up.
"Well son how do you feel?" My dad's voice comes from the right of me.
"Like crap."
"Yeah well you should."
I finally get up and sit in the couch, Seth comes beside me.
"Sorry man, but I think you should have handled that better. I mean I know that he isn't the best kind of creature but he isn't the worst of his kind."
I sat there for what seem like hours, Piper and Chris didn't say a word but you could tell they are talking to each other. Over the past week they discovered that they don't need to touch each other anymore to talk to one another.
The phone starts to ring and Piper quickly answers.
"MOM! Are you ok?"
I hear her low mumble, but mostly I hear her saying my name. I quickly go over to the phone hoping that Piper gives it to me.
"Yea, the ass is right here." She says looking right at me. Gosh you would never in a thousand years think that she was only two. I take the phone from her,
"Bella?"
"Thank for leaving me here." She spits to me. But I can hear that she is crying. I am the worst think in the world.
"I couldn't find you I thought you got a ride home I looked for you everywhere." I say in a pleading voice. I should have looked harder.
At that moment Chris yells at the top of his lungs, "Don't worry mom Edward is picking you up he will be there in five four three two…"
Then the phone hangs up, great I should have been the one picking her up, I should be there. I have to make this up to her.
"Don't worry Jake, men always make mistakes, she has already forgiven you, by the time she gets home she will be all better." Piper says to me, and then she skips over to Seth.
Edwards POV
I pulled my car up to where she is sitting; you can see the tears streaming down her face. That dog, I am going to murder him, how could her hurt someone as precious and kind as her.
She gets up and opens my door.
"Thanks Edward." Her hoarse voice says.
"It's my pleasure." I say, she looks gorgeous. She has her hair straightened, white sweater, and some black dress pants with heals that match.
"Yeah, I feel stupid, here I am, correction, I was on a date and I told you that I wasn't ready to date." She laughs one hard laugh.
"The babysitter at your house told me that you guys are only friends." I say, hoping that she gets the hint it doesn't bother me. It doesn't, I mean she needs to have other relationships, besides we aren't exactly a couple. I hope that we will be soon but we aren't yet so I have no right to be upset.
"Was it a girl?" She asks with a smile playing at her lips.
"Yeah, why?" I ask confused by the question. Shouldn't she know her babysitter was a female, she did hire her right?
A smile breaks across her face, what a wonderful smile it is.
"That my friend was my daughter." She turns her head to me; her smile grows wider with reading my face I presume. I am at a loss of words. How can her two year old daughter be the one who answered the phone?
"She isn't your typical tow year old. My son is just as advanced."
"Oh"
Bella's POV
His face is still in shock, I chuckle. I wonder what he is thinking, I wonder if he is mad at me or at Jake.
"What did my daughter say to you?" I ask.
"That you were on a date, and that I should go and pick you up because you were left here. Also that she can't wait to meet me." He says still confused
"Yeah, um, may I ask you something?" I have to know how much he likes me before I go and let him meet my children. No matter how much my Chris and Piper want to meet him.
"Yeah"
I sigh, ok here goes nothing. "How much do you like me?"
He smiles "On what scale?"
"1 to 10"
He smile grows wider "100"
I laugh,
"How much do you like me?" He looks at me seriously, like I am so kind of mystery.
"On what scale?" Ask jokingly.
"1 to 10" He plays along. I can feel myself getting ready to blush
"100" then of course just as I knew it, I blushed 3 kinds of red.
"Is that why the guy left, because you told him that you like me?" He voice has an edge to it, but I can't be sure.
"Well not exactly." I say, not liking where this conversation is going. But I might as well get it out of the way. You should always start relationships with honesty.
"Then what?" Now his voice is full of curiosity.
"He didn't care about another guy in the picture; he cared more about what that guy is." I say, I wonder if he will pick up on that.
"And what would that be?" His voice is on edge. Yeah he picked up on it.
"Um well see, you know what Jake is right?" I laugh nervously.
"Do you know?" He voice is getting threatening now.
"Yes, he turns into a wolf." I say with honesty,
"So you really do know what I am" He voice is now full of sadness.
"How long have you known?" Edward asks.
"Since the second or third day I met you." I reply hoping that he doesn't freak.
"And you never cared." His voice is in awe.
"No," I look directly in his eyes, they read of happiness.
"You know I had this feeling you knew because you never flinched when I touched you and when you talked about the Blacks…" He is overjoyed.
"You know, I kept forgetting that you are a vampire because you treated me so well." I giggle I am so happy that we can be honest to each other. I am so glad that this is in the open. It's like something lifted off of me that I never knew was there and can be happy. I look at the window and see that we are at my house.
"Well I will see you at school tomorrow" He is still holding a smile.
"Yeah, but where do we stand?" I ask, I don't know what we are, are we still friends or are we more. I don't know if I am completely ready for that, but I am ready to be something more than just his friend. Great I am complicated.
"Well, we could be more than friends, but I don't know what you want, and that's what really matters. What do you want?" He asks. God he is such a freaking miracle.
"I want to be more than friends but I don't know if I am ready to date."
"Well, I ask that you don't date anyone other than me when you are ready." He says, but there is a bit of uncertainty in his voice.
But I smile I like the idea but I should add a little more to it. "Ok, but you can't date anyone either, also…" I stop in mid track; ok I am really pushing it.
"Anything Bella…" He whispers, pulling my hands into his.
"That we announce that we are boyfriend and girlfriend, I know it sounds stupid…" I blush even more; I feel his cold hand brush my hair out of my face. I can't read his expression it's like he can hear something but he is trying to block it out.
"Bella, I would be more than honored to be your boyfriend." He leans in closer, as do I when I hear,
"NO LET HER BE CHRIS!"
Edward has this odd expression about him as he looks out the window to my children
"They are werewolves?"
"How did you know?" I asked shocked I never told him
"Mom, can we please meet him!" Chris howls,
Edwards POV
Yes! Piper, Edward is here with mom, come on we have to go out there.
No, let then have some time to talk.
They are only getting ten minutes
Whatever Chris
I ignore what I hear in my head, I had to be crazy,
"Bella, I would be more than honored to be your boyfriend." I lean in I want to kiss her, I have wanted to do this since I first laid eyes on her, and she began to lean in also,
We can't have them kiss yet
Yes we can let mom have this moment, stop being so over protective
No
Then I hear the door fling open and a piercing scream
"NO LET HER BE CHRIS!"
I am guessing this is Pipers scream.
Hi Edward I am Chris, and my sister Piper, I know you can read minds so yeah. I just want you to know my sister and I are werewolves, but not like the Quileute's
I lean a little ways away from Bella,
"They are werewolves?" I ask in complete shock.
"How did you know?" She copies my voice.
"Mom, can we please meet him!" Chris howls,
She sighs "Yes hun"
"Um, well, you don't mind do you?" She asks.
"No of course not. We are boyfriend and girlfriend I think I should meet them." I smile lightening up the mood.
I get out of the car and go to her side to open it for her but her little boy that is supposed to be two, but looks seven, already is opening it.
"Thanks so much baby." Bella says picking him up,
"I am a gentleman" he smiles and kisses Bella on the cheek.
She laughs and puts him down but takes his hand.
"Chris this is Edward."He smiles wide
"Hi Edward" he puts his hand out so I take it.
"Nice to meet you." I say shaking his hand.
"Little Brat, I will get you back. Can't you ever just let mom be."
"They will kiss, but it wasn't time yet, it has to be a more romantic setting. It has to be perfect for mom.
Piper lets a low growl out, as she leaves the house with a wolf guy,
God, wow I guess I can see why Bella would be attracted to him. Gosh this is awkward, never met a vampire face to face before.
"Come on Seth I want to properly introduce myself," Piper smiles at me.
"Ok sweetie." Seth says, giving in to her. That's when I see Bella slightly cringe, and realize Seth has imprinted on her. I have heard some stories about it, amazing, but I am amazed to see it firsthand.
"Hi Edward I am Piper." She also holds out her hand. I take it.
"Nice to meet you miss Piper." I smile; she walks over to Chris whom is standing next to Bella.
They look a lot like her but at the same time they don't. Chris and Piper are the same height. Piper has jet black hair but her mother curls, and has green eyes. Chris has his mothers brown hair and chocolate eyes but lacks the curls.
Bella is looking at them, they are her world; you can see it in her eyes.
"Well there you guys met him are you happy?" She asks with a laugh.
"Yes, mama will you tuck us in." Chris gives a puppy dog face.
"You bet I will." She continues to hold their hands when she kisses my cheek.
"Good night Edward. See you Monday." She smiles and walks into her house, when a very tall and beefy guy, the wolf who left her. I let a slight growl escape my lips.
"Bella I am so sorry." Please forgive me, I will be best friends with the parasite if that's what it takes.
"Jake its fine, but I think you should be talking to Edward, pay for the gas." She looks back at me smiles and then back to the house.
He sulks his way back to me, Seth is still standing here, but he is jittery he wants to tuck Piper in before she falls asleep.
"Thank you for getting her." He pulls out his wallet.
"No need man; I am just glad she is safe."
Man he better be better than what she has had This Jacob kid thinks, inquiring me to get curious and ask.
"Who is their father?"Bella don't kill me.
"I presume you know about the werewolves." Jake says.
"Children of the moon, yes" I say remembering the legends; most of them are extinct thanks to the Volturi.
"Well, Bella fell in love with one, she knew what he was, not really sure how. But anyway, he raped her, then she got pregnant, then her parents died. And all this happened within months of each other."
I stagger a little bit, how could so many things happen to one person?
"So they don't know about their father other than that?" I ask still in shock.
"Yeah, we have been trying to research about them but there isn't anything much about them. Bella refuses to talk about it. Every time we try she changes the subject."
"Well, I am going to pretend I don't know anything and maybe she will tell me."
"Let's hope it's soon because I have a feeling that whoever he is looking for her. Chris keeps getting visions about him coming here and he is been telling us about Bella's nightmares."
I nod my head and say good bye and head home.
I'm a little overwhelmed with all this information that I have just received. Bella, this wonderful women that I have been talking to for a while now has been raped, and had her parents die. On top of that he is after her. But it doesn't scare me. It makes me want to closer to her, to be there for those two kids that love their mother so much.
I will be there dam it.
