Chapter Fourteen

While Bella, Alice and Rosalie were talking outside the boys in the fraternity were inside discussing the incident that had occurred with Jacob earlier that evening. The head of the house Mike Newton was in the middle of a circle that the fraternity boys had formed around him.

"So, it has come to my attention that someone has disobeyed the house rules by hitting a fellow brother. Breaking this rule is supposed to result in the immediate removal of said person from the fraternity. But I'm going to make an exception in this case because this person only hit their brother because of something they had done earlier. He defended a girl's honour and punished someone for hurting said girl and that was very honourable of him. So this person who acted so nobly is not going to be punished for his action." Mike was looking directly at Edward during his whole speech.

"Edward knocked me out to defend a girl that he's not even involved with and he's not gonna get punished for it." Jacob moved so that he was standing directly in front of Mike.

"Yes that's correct." Mike confirmed for Jacob.

"Well that's just great isn't it?" Jacob threw his hands up in disbelief.

"You should be happy that I also decided against punishing you." Mike retaliated.

"What?" Jacob yelled in Mike's face.

"It's not like this is the first time that you have done this to a girl. You force them to sleep with you and that's considered rape, which is something that this fraternity is against. The only reason that I'm mentioning this now is because this is the first time that your actions have ever affected anyone in this house. You almost raped the girl that Edward is in love with and even though she's engaged to someone else, he still loves her. You hurt him by doing this and because you did that I'm putting you on probation, which means that if you do anything else wrong, you'll be kicked out of this fraternity." Mike yelled back at Jacob.

"You're just taking his side because you never liked me."

"Well you're not wrong about that, I don't like you. The only reason that I let you into this house was because you're a legacy." Mike admitted.

"Maybe I should just leave the house if no on wants me here."

"I think that that would be a great idea." Mike proclaimed, "Make sure that you are out by noon tomorrow."

"Fine I'll just go and pack my stuff then." Jacob left the crowd and stormed up the stairs to his room.

Edward knew that he had to go and thank Mike for the bug favour that he gave him. Mike could have kicked Edward out of the house, that's what he should have done but he decided against it. Edward walked to the current place where Mike Newton was standing, "Mike man thank you for what you did."

"Yeah, whatever." Mike replied in a monotone voice, "But I'm not ever gonna do it again. So don't give me a reason to kick you out again, because next time I'll do it. The only reason that I took your side is because I hate that Jacob kid."

"Well for whatever reason that you did it, I'm still grateful."

"You're welcome." Mike responded, "So come on lets go to the bar I'll buy you a beer."

"Sure just let me go and grab my coat." Edward went to his room and grabbed his coat, but before he could go back downstairs he ran into Jacob.

"Hello Edward." Jacob said with a sneer in his voice.

"Hello Jacob." Edward answered, "I'm sorry I can't stay and talk longer but I gotta go."

"Just to tell you I'm not gonna give up." Jacob grabbed Edward's arm to stop him from leaving.

"Give up what?"

"Give up trying to sleep with Bella. I have wanted her from the moment that I saw her and I always get the girls that I want."

"Bella will never agree to have sex with you." Edward glared into Jacob's eyes.

"Oh yes she will. I'm very good at seducing reluctant women." Jacob glared back.

"Well you're not gonna get very because she had a fiancé and I'll also be watching you."

"I look forward to the challenge."

"I'm not gonna get into a competition with you over Bella." Edward laughed.

"Because you know that you will lose."

"Okay whatever you say." Edward pulled his coat on, "Bye."

"Let the competition begin." Jacob said to Edward's retreating figure.
