A/N So cliffhanger last chapter. I have this chapter done since yesterday morning. So I decided I would upload it today. I also have chapter 26 done too. I'll probably upload that on Monday!
All Jacob's POV in this chapter too!
Thanks for the reviews
Mackenzie L: Thanks for your review I hope you enjoy the story and keep reading!
I loved writing the next few chapters. This one is kind of short, but I think you'll enjoy it. Jacob is going to tell Nicole everything about his past about Bella. But can she keep the secret...
Last time:
"Nessie" I whispered and she gasped
Nessie's Childhood story
Chapter 25: Trying to explain
Jacob's POV
"What?" She asked after a minutes silence
"I imprinted on Ness" I murmured
"How? She's like 12!" She exclaimed
"Nicole you need to understand its not my fault. I didn't just jump in and say "Hey I'm going to imprint on your daughter kay?" I said to her calmly
"I don't get it! How are you and Bella so close?" She asked. This was another conversation that would be slightly awkward. Everyone else knew about what happened over 4 years ago...
"The imprint... pulls us. Its like we might have to wait to find her. Nicole its so hard for me to explain to you why or how it happened" I said running my hand down my face
"I was in love with Bella" I muttered
"What?" She cried
"About five years ago now. Edward left her. He left because he felt it would protect her. Well after he left, Bella started doing pretty stupid stuff. She found motorcycles and we rebuilt them together. Then I transformed into a werewolf... well shape shifter whatever" I chuckled and rolled my eyes
I was about to start another sentence when she cut me off again "Wait you were just a normal kid before you um.. changed" She mumbled
"Uh... yeah" I laughed
"Okay you can go on.. you changed into a shape shifting werewolf" She nodded in encouragement
"Another vampire was trying to kill her- You should probably ask her the full story about that- and she kept coming back. We tried to protect her but people kept getting in the way and it was hard to protect everyone" I mumbled
"So what happened?" She asked
"Inevitably someone interrupted. Bella was stupid enough at the time to go cliff diving in the middle of a freakin hurricane" I paused to roll my eyes at the memory though at the time I was petrified for her "I took her home and your mom was there. She saw her jump off the cliff thinking she tried to kill herself."
"Alice told everyone and Rosalie called Edward to tell him that Bella had tried to commit suicide. Since Alice couldn't see the wolves she didn't see me pull her out" I explained. She nodded. She was getting very interested
"So Edward called. I was in the kitchen with Bella at the time and I was very near the phone. It rang and I answered. He asked where Charlie was and I said he was preparing a funeral. Edward being Edward of course took it the wrong way and went off to the Volturi to kill himself" I rolled my eyes and chuckled slightly
"Bells and Alice went to Italy and stole a Porsche... and of course rescued Edward, but not at a consequence. They had to promise the Volturi that one of the Cullens would change Bella." I trailed off
"Which they did" She muttered
"Yeah they did, but the treaty said that the Cullens couldn't bite a human. I of course was dead set against it happening even if it was her own choice...that lead to even more drama" I whispered the last part
"Go on. I want to hear what happened"
"The vampire that kept coming back.. her name was Victoria. She kept coming back to Forks to get to Bella. Everyone moved back into town. Causing more wolves to change. Bella had decided that she was going to be changed after her High School graduation. Carlisle was going to do it" I said
"When she told me. I flipped out! I was in love with this girl and she's going off to become a vampire" I shuddered at the memory
"So I knew I only had weeks left. I had to make her see that she loved me too. I kissed her. She broke her hand... when she punched my face" She burst out laughing at that.
"We might not be rock hard but we're not that soft" I laughed with her
"She was stubborn. At the time an army of vampires was also being prepared to come and kill Bella. The Cullens and the Werewolves had to work together to protect the town and protect Bella" I said quietly
"The bad vampire would be after Bella's scent so Edward and I agreed that I had to carry Bella up the mountain to safety. Leading a false trail"
"I found out that Bella had agreed to marry Edward.. I was furious and ready to do just about anything to make her see that she loved me... maybe not the same way she loved Edward but close. I told her I was going to commit suicide. That slowed her roll and she kissed me"
"Evidently that resulted in more drama. Edward and Seth killed Victoria. Back down the mountain though A vampire attacked Leah. I stepped in and got the right half of my body just about shattered" I shuddered at the memory
"Wow" She mumbled in awe
"Yeah. Eventually she admitted she loved me. It wasn't easy.. but it happened" I whispered in another era
"What happened?" She asked
"Well... I was supposed to be best man at the wedding, but I was too heartbroken. I ran away from my problems with Bella. Something I'll never do again. I was worried so I came back to see her one last time before she'd be changed"
"After the wedding" I skipped the bit when I threatened to kill Edward "I stayed in La Push.. angry about it" I shook my head
"When I heard that she came back still human I went to investigate. People said she as sick"
"I had to see the truth so I went for myself. Not sure what to expect. I went and she was pregnant... heavily pregnant" I mumbled
"Nessie's growth" She whispered immediately
"We didn't know that then" I said
"I had to be with her... She had to be with me. She was so happy to see me. I know now why that was..."
"She had the baby and Blondie took her downstairs. Edward and I tried to keep her heart going. Nessie broke her spine and a lot of her ribs" She gasped
"You wouldn't think she'd be able to do that" Nicole wondered
"Well she was strong and had very little space to move" I said sympathetically. I laughed
"What's so funny?" She asked
"Well I'm here sympathising with her and when Bella was in labour all I wanted to do was kill her" I said she looked at me shocked
I heard Nessie's bedroom door open and close. I didn't know whether she had come out or gone in to her room
Nessie passed her hair was all wet
"I'm getting something to eat.. Jake do you want anything?" She asked
"Nah I'm good thanks" I smiled at her and Nicole snickered
She left the room
"She's going to catch on to something if you keep laughing every time I talk to her" I said laughing
"Yeah well now that I know its a bit weird but funny"
"On with the story" I said
"So I went downstairs after Edward told me to just leave. The pull was bringing me down and there she was.. I was full ready to kill her and then I stopped. I saw her eyes and that was it" I stated
"Now we're pretty much full circle" She concluded
"Yes" I laughed
"I wont tell her, but does it not make you feel like ..." I knew what she meant she didn't want to insult me though
"Eh.. no" I laughed as Nessie walked into the dining room and sat down
"What wee you guys talking about?" She asked
"Adult stuff" Nicole smiled
"I'm older than you" Nessie pointed out stubbornly
"I look older than you" Nicole argued
"Doesn't matter" She said
I laughed
"Your so stubborn.. you never give in. Come on I want to watch Master Garage" I got up and left them in the dining room
"Jacob and his Master garage" Nicole teased and I laughed
Nessie and I were in the kitchen. She attempting to make biscuits of some description
"Jake.. do you have a girl friend?" she asked out of the blue and I laughed out loud. The question caught me off guard and I'm sure if Nicole was here she'd be laughing too
"Eh.. no. Why would I need a girl friend?" I asked
"I thought maybe you and Nicole" She trailed off
"What?" I asked
"Well I saw you two talking last night and laughing and I just thought... " She said
"I always tease your mom and we laugh and talk.. we aren't dating" I stated
"You did though right?" She asked
I froze "No... we didn't" I said
"You kissed her" She stated
"How did you know?" I asked
"Mom told me" She replied. She put the tray in teh oven
I sighed in relief
"Why did she tell you?" I asked
"She didn't want any miscommunications to stand in the way" She mumbled distracted
"Are you mad?" I asked
"No... its the past Jacob. It really has nothing to do with me" She said smiling at me
Oh if only she knew...
I pulled her into my arms for a hug
"Your the best you know that?" I asked
She laughed "Sure, Sure" She used my catchphrase and I chuckled a long with her
