Chapter 12
"Your flight is tomorrow morning right?" My dad asked as he loaded the last of his things into a taxi to head back home.
"Yes, Jake and I should be there Saturday," I reassured him, he had no idea why I booked a later flight. But, I had to be with Edward one last time before I left
him for good; and, what was the harm? We were just going to hang out.
"Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow," he gave me a hug then climbed in the taxi.
"So, this is where you live?" I jumped out of my skin at the sound of his voice.
"What are you doing here? What if someone sees you?" I asked grabbing his hand and dragging him inside.
"I thought we'd have more time at your place," he plopped down on my couch as I peeked out the curtains, "Don't worry, I wasn't followed."
"How can you be so sure?" I asked then realized something as I plopped down on the couch next to him, "How did you find out where I lived?"
"Oh, that? I got it out of Jacob."
"What? Did you threaten him?" Edward gave a small chuckle as he shook his head, "That's good. But, why did you come here?"
"I've been thinking, let's leave. Run away to the states together!" Edward said putting his arm around me.
"What? Are you serious?" This made me happier than a little girl at Christmas.
"Yes, Tanya's too stuck up and doesn't know how to have fun." Edward groaned falling dramatically against the couch.
"Is that the only reason?"
"No, because I love you and I don't want us to be apart."
"Right answer," I said smiling as I leaned foward to kiss him, "I'll call the airlines and get a third ticket!"
"Third?"
"Jake wants to come too, he wants new opportunities and feels he can find that in America," I picked up my phone and dialed the airline, "Hi, this is Bella Swan,
I have two tickets for the flight at 7 AM tomorrow morning, I need to add one more ticket to that."
"Bella, hang up." I looked and saw Edward staring straight at the door.
"Never mind, just the two tickets, thanks anyway," I hung up and walked to the door to see two royal guards holding a beaten up Jake.
"Jake!" I said opening the door and running to him, "Are you okay?"
"You have two choices Miss. Swan, you can go to the states with the Prince and Jacob dies, or, you go to the states with Jacob and the Prince comes with us."
One of the guards said in a cold voice, I stared, appalled at him, was he really asking me to choose?
"Bella, leave me here, I'm as good as dead anyway," Jake wheezed out before one of the guards hit him, making him shut up.
"Give me one moment," I said walking back inside to Edward.
"I was hoping they wouldn't notice I was gone until we were happily married in America," Edward laughed but I could tell he was scared. His face was pale and
he ran his hands up and down his legs, "So, they dragging me back?"
"No, they're making me choose between you and Jake," I said sitting down next to him, "Edward, I love you so much..."
"No, just stop there, you're choosing him right?"
"They'll kill him if I don't! I couldn't live with myself if I just let him die!" I said making Edward get up exsaperated.
"But what about us? We're never going to be together if you choose him," Edward said running his hand through his hair, "Isn't that why you yelled at me
yesterday? Because we belong together?"
"Yes, we do, and we'll find a way! This is just a bump in the road, we'll find a way," I said feeling tears sting my eyes.
"Forget it," Edward said storming out, "Let him go." I heard him tell the guards.
"Yes your highness." I heard a groan, a thump as Jake fell to the ground then car doors shutting and an engine revving up.
"Bella? Can you come help me?" I barely heard Jake's voice, but I did, and I got up to go to him.
"Are you okay?"
"I will be," he said as I helped him to the couch, "Why did you do that?"
"I didn't do anything, all I said was I couldn't live with myself if I just let you die and then we got into a fight, he decided on his own what was going to
happen," I said wiping a tear away, "You know, I don't even care, I'll just forget him. Go back home and find someone else, it was just a stupid relationship that
wouldn't go anywhere."
"Bella, you know that's not true," Jake said staring at me with his dark eyes. It was that moment that it hit me how attractive he really was, he was five years
older than me but that didn't mean I couldn't find him attractive; he wasn't Edward attractive, but attractive.
"Yes, it is," I said then sighed, "We need to get you to a doctor."
"Nah, it's just some bruises, I'll be fine."
"No, you won't, please let me take you-" I was cutting off by someone knocking at the door, "I'll be right back." I said getting up and going to the door.
"Hello, Bella," I was surprised to see the King at my door.
"Your Majesty, if I may ask, why are you here?" I asked receiving a kind smile.
"Bella, the rule still stands, please call me Carlisle," I nodded and appreciated that he was so nice, "Edward told me what happened and asked me to come
check on Jacob."
"Thank you, I was just telling Jake I wanted to take him to a doctor, but why did Edward ask you to come?" I asked leading him to where Jake was.
"Hey Jacob, can you sit up?" Carlisle asked, I helped Jake sit up, "I practiced medicine before the Queen and I got married. She's not a bad person, she just
wants what's best for Edward, I'm sure you understand."
"No, I don't. Shouldn't she just want him to be happy?"
"Yes, but she thinks marrying royalty will be the best thing for him, whereas I disagree," Carlisle said then turned to Jake, "Well, Jacob, you should be feeling
somewhat better tomorrow for your flight."
"You know about that?" I asked somewhat surprised, no not somewhat, completely surprised.
"Edward told me that as well," I groaned at him as I ran my hand through my hair.
"What else did he tell you?"
"Everything, Bella, he loves you and he's hurt, but..."
"He's hurt?" I yelled, "HE'S HURT? He's the one that made the decision to go back! I didn't!"
"You were going to anyway, he could tell. Bella, please, don't hold this against him," Carlisle said then smiled, "Well, have a good flight and I hope we see you
again Miss. Swan."
"Thank you Carlisle," I said and watched him get into a car. How was I not supposed to hold this against him? Edward had done something that had torn us
apart, and who knew how long it would be till we saw each other again? If we ever did.
