Enjoy the next chapter and I will try very hard to get it long but I don't know how that will go…
Chapter 13
BPOV
One of the ambulance people stuck an oxygen mask over my face. "You just inhaled some smoke, you should be fine." the woman smiled at me.
Then I saw the firefighter that was pulling me out of the fire and I ripped off my mask and ran to him. "Have you found Jacob yet?" I asked panicked.
"Yes. You should sit back down and rest." the firefighter said and led me to the back of the fire truck again to put on my oxygen mask.
"Is he okay?" I asked before I put on the mask.
"He is okay, they are loading him into the ambulance right now. He just inhaled some smoke. It's a very good thing he was in the bathroom when the fire happened. I'm Tristan Bullman." he said and stuck his hand out. I shook it. "You can take your oxygen off now." he said, helping me take it off.
"Why is Jake going to the hospital if he just inhaled some smoke?"
"Just making sure. We know you are okay because you were not in the building at the time. Just precaution, really. The ambulance hasn't left quiet yet but it will be leaving in a few minutes, do you want to ride with him?"
"Yes!" I said and Tristan laughed. He showed me the way and I hopped into the back of the ambulance.
Jake grinned up at me and I smiled back, "I'm okay." he coughed. I just rolled my eyes.

"Alice?" I said into my phone.
"Bella? What's wrong?" she asked, picking up on my panicked voice.
"Well, my house and shop just got caught on fire." I said.
Silence. Then, "Oh. My. God! Are you serious? Bella, where are you? Are you okay? Are your customers okay? When did this happen?" she just started shooting off questions.
I sighed, "Alice, I'm fine. I'm at the hospital because Jake just inhaled some smoke. It was around 6:30 so everyone was gone."
"Jake?" she asked, curious, "What where you doing with him?"
I fidgeted, I forgot I didn't tell Alice or Rosalie that I was going out with Jake, "Um, he is kind of my boyfriend." it came out as a question.
"Your kind of going out with Jake?" her voice became shrill. "When? Why didn't you tell me?!"
"It happened, like, I don't know, a couple days ago!" I said defensively. I was amazed at where the direction of our conversation was going.
"I'm going over there." she said quickly and hung up. I sighed and waited in Jake's room, sitting by his bed.
"Do you want to stay with me?" he asked. "Actually, I'm surprised you aren't freaking out. Normal people would do that, you know."
"I'm not normal." I said.
His eyes met mine and he smiled. "Are you going to stay with me?"
"I suppose." Then it hit me. "Jake. I have no clothes, I have nothing. I don't even have any money. Ugh, this sucks."
"Finally, a somewhat rational response!"
"Bella?" I heard a voice say and I stuck my head out of the door. There was Rosalie and Emmett, Alice and Jasper, and Jessica. They ran towards me and hugged me, "Thank God your okay!" Rosalie squealed.
"I'm not the one in the hospital bed! Jake should be gone in an hour or so though."
"Where are you staying?" Emmett asked. "Your welcome to stay with Rose and me."
"I am staying with Jake." I said and looked at him. Jacob smiled at me from his bed.
The doctor walked in and she pursed her lips at the sight of all of us but she smiled at Jake. Dr. Kully was very pretty. She had long blond hair with sparkly blue eyes and a long lean body. "Excuse me." she said brusquely to me and shoved me out of the way. "How are you, Mr. Black?" she asked sweetly.
"I feel good." Jake said.
"That's good!" Dr. Kully crowed. "In fact, you could probably check out right now." she said. "If you guys could please leave so he can change and then we can sign out and leave." she said to everyone but her cold, blue eyes lingered on my face.
Everyone filed out but I stayed behind. "Jake? I'll see you outside." I said and went up to him and kissed him. I looked at Dr. Kully but she wasn't watching me, she was writing something on her clipboard.

My cell phone rang and I looked at the caller ID. Alice. "Hello?" I said into the receiver.
"Edward?"
"Yes? What is it?"
"Bella has been in a fire." she said, "but she is okay. Jake just inhaled some smoke and should be fine. They are at the hospital right now. Edward, she has nothing. She is going to live with Jake."
"Jake? Why Jake?" I asked, honestly curious. I didn't know she hang out with Jacob Black that much.
"He's her boyfriend, Edward. I'm at the hospital and they are checking Jake out but I was wondering if you could give me some money so me and Bella can go on a shopping spree tomorrow to buy some clothes. Everyone is pitching in to help and I'm sure Bella would appreciate if you did to."
"Yea, sure. How much do you want?" I said, that last part Alice said pretty much means I had to help out or Alice was going to kick my butt.
"Anything would be good." she said. I heard some talking in the background. "Okay, I have to go. Me and Bella will come get the money tomorrow." I heard a "what about money" in the background and I recognized Bella's voice before she hung up.
"What's up?" Lauren asked.
"Bella's been in a fire." I said and Lauren just sighed.
"Is she okay?"
"Yea. Jake, her boyfriend, just inhaled some smoke. Would you mind pitching in some money. Bella lost everything in the fire."
She sighed heavily again, "I guess I cant pitch in fifty bucks or so."
"Thank you." I said and kissed her. "I know Bella will appreciate it."

Alice dragged me through Jake's door and down to her car. "Quit being a baby." she said as she shoved me into the passenger seat. "We gotta pick up Rosalie and then get the money from Edward and maybe Lauren will want to come…" she trailed off.
We picked up Rosalie who slid into the back seat and then drove over the Edward's. Lauren and him met us outside.
"Hey, Lauren?" Alice called, "want to come shopping with us?" she asked as Edward handed her some money.
"Thanks!" I called at him before Lauren could say anything.
"Actually, I will come. Oh and Bella? I got some money for you too." she said kissing Edward quickly. "What are you going to do today?" she asked him.
"Hang out with the guys." Edward said as Lauren got into the back seat. She blew a kiss to him and Alice drove off.
"Here you go." she said and she handed me the money.
I was in shock, Lauren was being nice, "Thank you, Lauren, really. It means a lot to me." I smiled at her and she smiled back but her eyes were cold.
We spent the day shopping at the mall and then right when we were about to leave we heard gunshots.
Wow. Okay, this was kind of a filler until the end. I am just soo evil but I had to put something in there! I know you guys want to kill me but I will update as soon as I can.
IMPORTANT: Okay…so I was thinking of doing another story but it was going to be an alternate ending to Twilight Corner starting with Jacob dying and the story just taking a different path. Is that a good idea? I am also going to be doing "deleted scenes" at the end of the story. Like when Edward told Alice about Rae Lynn.
Please Review! I love getting reviews, lol.
