CHAPTER 21

"What's up Bella?" Jacob tries to greet his best friend coolly but he just can't drop the grin spread across his face. It's been a few days after she called him. He had waited for her arrival after the call but she never showed up. Worried by Bella's being, he had called up her house but it was answered by Charlie, Bella's father.

FLASHBACK

"Hello, is Bella there?" Jacob asks anxiously. When he didn't see his best friend after she claimed want to meet up with him as soon as possible, he immediately called her to check up on her. It's been hours since she called and Jacob is worried for her safety.

"Hi Jacob, I'm sorry but Bella just fainted," Charlie replies to him with a tired tone.

"Fainted?"

"Yeah, she probably wore herself out from all of the crying."

"Crying?" Jacob asks again, more and more curious about the whole thing.

"Edward broke up with her, didn't she tell you?"

"No, she did not. Officer Swan, do you have any idea what happened exactly?" Jacob asks angrily. How could that leech do that again? Didn't he learn anything the first time around?

"No, she just cried and begged Edward not to leave her, again. But this time seems serious. Anyway, she caught a mild fever. I'll tell her to find you after she's recovered, alright?" Charlie tiredly tells his best friend's son and sighs.

"Okay, thank you and take care," Jacob answers absent mindedly.

After hanging up, Jacob sits on his bed and looks at the floor inattentively. A thought suddenly appears in his mind: if the leech is serious this time, doesn't that mean he finally has a shot with Bella? Smiling happily and thanking God inwardly, Jacob lies on his bed and starts to wonder what he should do to woo and heal Bella's broken heart. Finally… things seem to be looking up for him.

End of flashback

"Jacob…" Bella looks at her best friend while trying hard to hold back her tears, but failing. Throwing herself into his arms, she starts to cry again.

"It's alright ... Everything is alright." Jacob strokes her back, trying to comfort her.

After a while, Bella's crying finally subsides and is replaced with sniffing. Jacob looks at her and waits for her to confide in him. He doesn't want to feel like he is pushing her for explanations.

"Jacob, Edward broke up with me again. You need to help me." Bella starts to speak after the crying.

"Tell me everything about it." Jacob heart aches a little when all Bella can think of is Edward. How about him? He's been waiting for her to look at him this entire time. Although a little bit pissed off, Jacob tries to control it and decides to ask what happened.

"Lately, our school has new transfer students. Their last name is Durand. They are wizards. They confessed themselves to the Cullens. They knew the Cullens are vampires and Harry Durand, the eldest brother of the three, threatened me! He said that if I don't leave Edward, he will kill me. Of course Edward doesn't want to leave me, he loves me. But suddenly one day Harry wants to talk with Edward in private and after that… Edward broke up with me…" Bella starts to sob again, reminded of the moment when he Edward voiced out those dreadful words to her.

"Jacob, you need to believe me. The Durands are evil. They put a spell on Edward and made him hate me." Bella desperately explains after noticing Jacob's look of disbelief. "The other Cullens are evil, too! They actually forbid me to meet you, and Rosalie threatened me by saying that she will rip me into pieces if I ever tell you that they are going to turn the Durands into vampires."

"So you're telling me that the Cullens want to turn all the Durands into vampires, and that the Durands are actually wizards and put a spell on Edward so that he hates you?" Jacob asks skeptically.

Bella nods without hesitation. Jacob looks at her sympathetically. Has Bella gone mad because of a simple break up? Wizards? Does she really believe the crap she's saying? This is harder than he originally thought. He needs to go along with this temporarily. Although Jacob is born to destroy vampires, he won't be blinded by it. He can't just go after the Cullens for a silly reason like this. Sam would never allow it.

Besides, even though he hates Edward Cullen for making Bella suffer, that doesn't mean that he doesn't realize that the Cullens are a family of vampires that haven't hurt any humans. They haven't broken the treaty yet, and neither can he.

"Okay…I need to pick something up at the supermarket first. We'll discuss a strategy along the way, okay Bella?" Jacob forcefully smiles and sighs inwardly when Bella nods in agreement. He will try to cheer Bella up and at the same time attempt to persuade her to not use that crappy story to convince anyone else.

***At the supermarket…

"Jacob, you said you'll discuss the strategy with me!" Bella whines, grabbing his arm and jerking it back and forth.

"Yeah…" Jacob nods absentmindedly. It's getting worse. Each time Bella comes up with strategies against the Durands and Cullens, especially Rosalie, it always involves biting and ripping the vampires into pieces and burning their remains. Jacob wonders whether the snobby blonde vampire was actually the reason behind Edward and Bella's break up.

"Jacob, seriously…" Bella's voice suddenly trails off and she looks fiercely down an isle with wide eyes.

"Bell?" Jacob asks with concern, automatically looking over at the place that his best friend is staring at.

"Jacob, that's him! He is one of the Durands." Bella grabs Jacob arm once more, shaking it vigorously.

"Seriously?" Jacob asks uneasily. Damn! He needs to make a fool out of himself now? As he looks over the place Bella points, he immediately knows who she is talking about since there is only one person standing there and he has never seen him before. The teenager observes the person in front of him. He has short blonde hair and almost looks like the blonde Barbie Cullen, just a male version. He seems to be immersed in his shopping. The blonde guy is a pretty boy, Jacob silently thinks.

"Go scare him, and warn him." Bella hisses and urges her best friend forward.

Looking dismally at Bella, Jacob slowly moves towards the blonde, planning on just giving him a stupid warning and then leaving. God, he just hopes that the blonde will not give him a hard time and decide to call the mental institution for calling him wizard. He really needs to tell Charlie Swan about his daughter's deteriorating condition.

Draco browses through the baby food on the supermarket shelf, looking at the nutrient labels on them. Ever since they moved to America, Draco has voluntarily been in charge of shopping for the whole household since he is practically the only person in the house that is rational enough to differentiate between real food and junk food. Neville is with him here today, but he's probably looking around in the snack isle. The blonde unconsciously smiles sadly; looking at the baby food reminds him of how lonely he is right now. Teddy already has a lot of people that love him and are able to take care of him right now.

Besides, Teddy is growing up really fast. The blonde doesn't think that he'll have much time to spend with his nephew. Inhaling deeply, Draco scolds himself for being so pessimistic.

These past few have been rough; Teddy has been acting oddly ever since the incident with Edward. He's always clinging onto Harry like his life depends on it, and he doesn't want anyone except his father. Not even Rosalie or himself can convince the toddler to leave his father's side. Teddy cries whenever Harry is not within his sight and will not stop until he sees him. Is Teddy finally in the phase of the terrible two's? It seems plausible since Teddy is nearing two years old.

Draco heaves a sigh; it wasn't easy for Harry and Edward to finally establish their relationship and now their first obstacle is none other than Teddy? It's complicated, but what makes Draco pleased is that Edward doesn't resent the toddler like how Ginny would. He even asks the blonde to tell him what Teddy's favorites are or things that he dislikes, desperately trying to get Teddy to like him. Although the dejected look on Edward's face is evident each time Teddy cries whenever the vampire gets close to him, Edward remains persistent in trying to figure out how to improve his relationship with the toddler. Once, Draco asked why he is trying so hard since Teddy is just a toddler. It was a question just out of curiosity, but the vampire's answer surprised him. Edward said that since Teddy is very important to Harry, he is going to try his best to make the toddler like him. He doesn't want Harry to feel like he needs to choose between the two of them. The vampire's reply makes Draco think that Edward is Harry's perfect soul mate after all.

Just when Draco is about to tip toe up to get the baby food on a high shelf, he is rudely interrupted by a deep voice. "Hey." When the blonde looks in the direction of the voice, he sees a furious Bella. Standing beside her is a Native American man, aged probably around 22 or 23. God, he is huge, Draco silently thinks.

"Yes?" Draco answers with composure. He senses there is something wrong with them due to the crazy glint in Bella's eyes. He remains cool, calm and collected, not even threatened by the man's towering height. He is tanned with has brown eyes, almost as tall as Harry, and Draco has the feeling that this man has more growing to do. Although it's weird to have the thought, the blonde can't help but to admit that the man in front of him is quite… good looking. If he were a woman, he'd probably be swept off his feet.

"Umm…" the man slowly approaches Draco with a hint of uncertainty, keeping his hands in his pocket while glancing back and forth between the blonde and Bella. When he finally stands in front of Draco, he rubs the back of his head with hesitation. "Hi, I'm Jacob Black. Anyway, I'm here just to warn you to stay away from the Cullens." He gulps and wears a nervous grin.

Draco looks at him and raises an eyebrow, then looks at Bella. He sighs. Why on earth does this muggle woman need to draw him into this mess? What does he have to do with her love triangle with Harry and Edward?

"Look, I appreciate your warning, but I'm not exactly the right person that you should be warning," Draco says simply and starts to walk away.

"Stop him!" Bella hisses angrily to Jacob.

"Wait." Jacob Black grabs the blonde's arm rather forcefully to stop him from walking away from him and staggers back when he sees Draco's furious glare at him.

Just when Draco is about to break the strong grip, a voice appears and the three people freeze. "Hey Drake, can I buy this please? I promise to eat it only once a…" Neville suddenly appears in the isle while holding a bunch of potato chips, only to pause for awhile when he sees Bella with Draco and an unknown man. After realizing what is going on, Neville immediately runs off to them while leaving the potato chips on the supermarket floor.

Without fear, Neville immediately stands between Draco and the unidentified man and pushes the tall man away forcefully. The tall man, too stunned to think properly, lets go of the blonde's arm and stares fixedly at Neville with a very complicated expression. He then opens his mouth to say something but is immediately cut off by Neville.

"Stay away from my brother or you will have me to answer to. I have a Gryffindor sword and I know how to use it." Neville hisses in anger and through greeted teeth while looking at the man, who was harming his brother, then turn his glare onto Bella. "Show me your face again I'll make sure you regret it." Then, after grabbing Draco's arm, Neville swiftly leaves the supermarket.

"What the hell Jacob? You should've punched them in the face!" Bella shrieks in anger at her best friend's failure at threatening the pests. Now she needs to find someone better for the job.

Jacob narrows his eyes inquiringly at Bella, shocked by her behavior. Punch? Jacob just smiles bitterly at her.
