Chapter 21
Bella's Point of View
Jacob followed us to the Cullen's' house after we left La Push. He wasn't too happy about it but it was something he was just going to have to deal with. For the sake of this town and for me. I had already called Edward and told him that I was coming over with the girls, Seth, and Jacob. He wasn't too happy either. I rolled my eyes when I hung up the phone. Jade was sitting next to me staring out the window.
"You ok?" I asked.
She looked at me and smiled.
"Yea. I'm just trying to make sense of all of this. This isn't something you tell someone or see every day." She said.
"Yea. It was kind of hard to believe it when I found out too." I replied.
"But to be honest, I'm glad Charlie adopted me, I'm glad that I have my friends with me, and I'm glad that I have a new sister. Losing my parents was hard but now that I know that I have another chance to be happy, I can't seem to wrap my head around it. And the whole vampires and werewolf thing is just as crazy." She said.
"Yea. If it weren't for Jacob I actually found out Edward was a vampire. Jacob took me a little harder to figure out. He kept me guessing. And when I couldn't guess it, he showed me. Sort of." I replied.
"He phased right in front of you?" she asked shocked.
"He kind of didn't have a choice." I said.
Her eyebrows pulled together and I saw that she was confused.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I punched Paul in the face and he phased. He couldn't control his temper when I punched him and boom a werewolf. I started to run until Jacob came. I screamed for him to run but then he jumps in the air and phases. Two oversized dogs stood in front of me fighting." I explained.
"Cool. How did you react when you found out your boyfriend and best friend were enemies?" she asked.
"That part I'm still not over. It bugs the hell out of me that they can't get along. But if I have anything to do with it, they both will be hanging by their feet until they get along." I said.
We laughed and I noticed that Jade isn't a bad person. Her past was over and she can now focus on what the future holds for her. But of course, there's that werewolves don't age thing. Well, looks like she will be fifteen for a while. We arrived at the Cullen's' house and Emmett and Jasper were on the porch. Emmett with that stupid smirk on face and Jasper, as usual, all serious. We got out of the car and Alice came running down the stairs. Well, I think it was the stairs. She walked right between Emm and Jazz and came straight to me.
"Bell, come inside." She said pulling my arm.
"Alice what's wrong?" I asked a little paranoid.
"We have to figure out a way to get your father out of town soon." She said. I stopped immediately.
"Oh crap!" I yelled.
"Charlie! I completely forgot!" I said.
Jacob walked over and put his arm around me.
"It's ok Bells. Charlie will be fine." He said.
Suddenly, Edward appeared and took Jacob's arm from around me.
"Watch yourself dog." He said.
"Look, you could at least be a little nice considering I babysat for you." Jacob spat.
Edward turned towards him quickly. At this moment, I was fed up with this stupid werewolf and vampire rivalry. We had better things to worry about and they're steady arguing. Enough was enough. I snatched my arm away from Alice and turned to Edward and Jacob. One was crouching and the other was ready to phase. I began to yell.
