Bella's POV

I approached The Black house with Edward by my side. The closer I got, the more angry I became. Every time I even thought about Billy I got angry. He'd abandoned me to his best friend, yet he still came around. That was like a slap in the face to me. He didn't want me, but he was still a part of my life as if he cared.

When we came to the front door, Edward held out his hand for me to take.

I immediately shook my head no. I was really, really angry right now. If I phased, I didn't want him touching me, or even near me really. I didn't wanna take the chance of him being hurt.

Edward smiled, telling me he understood, and retracted his hand.

I knocked on the door and waited.

I immediately heard footsteps inside. "I'll get it, Dad. Anything to get away from this weirdo." Jacob had said the last statement low so that Billy couldn't hear him.

I wasn't prepared when Jacob opened the door. It hit me hard. This was not just Jacob, the kid I used to make mud pies with. This was my brother. I knew that when I got there, but somehow it didn't sink in until I opened the door and saw him there.

Jacob didn't look that happy to see me. I wasn't surprised. Jacob blamed me a lot for losing Embry's friendship. He blamed Sam more, but me also. I knew that from the glares he'd send me in school. "What are you doing here, Bella? What, you can't survive even a minute without your freaky leader around?"

I didn't answer. I literally had no words for him. I had more than my fair share of words for Billy, but I just did not know what to say to the boy in front of me.

"Leave her be. She is going through a lot right now," Edward said.

Jake looked at him. "What are you doing here? I thought you two broke up. You're not even supposed to be on our land."

Before either of us could answer, Sam approached us with Billy right behind him. "Bella, what are you doing here?" Sam asked.

I barely even registered Sam's presence. My eyes were focused on the man in the wheelchair behind him. The man that was supposed to be my father. I couldn't help the hiss of anger that passed through me as I looked at the man.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Sam asked concerned.

I pushed past Jacob into the house. I barely noticed Edward come in behind me. My gaze, or should I say glare,

Billy looked at me intensely for a few seconds before glaring at Edward. He could clearly tell that I knew from the way I was looking at him. "You little son of a bitch! I asked you to wait!"

"Shut up! You leave him the hell alone! You don't get to attack him because you're a worthless asshole!" I snarled. Now I was really pissed. Not only was Billy a worthless deadbeat, but now he was verbally attacking my imprint. I wouldn't put up with.

"Hey. Don't talk to my dad like that!" Jacob yelled at me.

"Jake, go for a walk," Billy ordered.

"What? No way in hell!" Jacob protested.

"Why do you want him to leave, Billy? You don't want him to know what rotten SOB you are?" I asked angrily before taking a step towards him.

Sam wasted no time in getting between me and Billy and placing a hand on my arm. "Bella, you need to calm down and tell me what is going on."

"Dad, what is she talking about? Why is she so pissed at you?" Jake asked.

"Go ahead, Billy. Tell your son what kind of person you really are," I urged with a growl.

"Bella, please don't do this. I know you're angry, but don't take it out on him. This isn't his fault. Just let him leave and you and I can talk," Billy said.

I laughed humorlessly at Billy's words and tried to advance on him. Emphasis on tried. Sam had a good grip on my arm and he refused to let me get any closer to Billy.

"No, I don't think so. You're not getting any closer. Tell me what's wrong?" Sam said. It was a cross between a plead and an order.

"Ask him! Ask him about his time with my mother. And no, Billy, I won't let you push Jacob out of the room. I won't be the scandal you wanna hide anymore," I said angrily.

"You never were, Bella. Please believe me, it was never like that," Billy said.

"What are you talking about? What Scandal?" Jacob asked confused.

Meanwhile, Sam's eyes got very dark and he turned to Billy. He'd figured it out. "You worthless bastard!"

"Sam, please stay out of this. It's not what you think," Billy said.

"Everyone shut up!" Jacob screamed. "Tell me what's going on!"

Billy looked at Jake. He just stared at him for a few moments before apparently coming to the realization that he had no choice. "I…It happened before you were born. Your mother and I were fighting constantly. We were on the verge of a separation. So were Charlie and Renee. I went to speak to Charlie one night, to talk to him about your mother, but he wasn't home. Renee was. I should've left when I realized he wasn't there, but I didn't. We talked for a little while and then went out and got hammered. The next thing I know we're at a hotel in Port Angeles."

Jacob's eyes went wide in horror. "You slept with Bella's mom?"

Billy nodded. "More than once. It just seemed to keep happening," Billy said.

I laughed. "It seemed to keep happening? You say that like free will had nothing to do with it. You had an a affair with your best friend's wife!"

Billy turned to me. "Yes. I hate myself for what I did to Charlie. I spent the last eighteen years trying to make up for it. I wanted to make it right."

"How does abandoning your daughter make it right?" Sam asked angrily.

"I didn't abandon her! I never even knew for until recently," Billy said.

"You chose not to know," Edward said.

"Hey, you stay out of this! This is your fault anyway! I asked you to give me time!" Billy yelled.

I growled angrily. "I told you to leave him alone! You're not going to blame him because you're a bastard. Oh, actually, I think I have that wrong. I'm the bastard, right?"

Suddenly, Sam's eyes shifted away from Billy and they turned from anger to concern. "Jacob."

I looked over at Jake to see that he had begun to shake wildly. He looked like he was seconds from phasing. His anger from learning that we're related must have caused it to happen earlier because he'd been at least a few weeks away before.

"Y…you're Bella's father. She's my sister?!" Jake asked angrily.

"Jacob, you need to calm down right now," Sam said gently.

"Shut up, Uley! I'm talking to my father!" Jake yelled.

"Jake, son, listen to Sam. You're getting too angry," Billy said.

"Oh, really? You just told me that you cheated on mom and that Bella is my sister! Of course I'm angry!" he yelled.

"Jacob, let's get out of here. Let's go for a walk and talk," I said as Sam and I inched closer to him. I knew we had to get Jacob out of the house because he was going to phase. Nothing was going to stop it now

"No, I don't wanna talk to you!" Jacob said before taking a large step away from us and towards Edward. "I wanna talk to my dad! I wanna know how the hell he could do this to my family! To my mother!"

"Edward, get away from him now!" I yelled.

It was too late though. Jacob phased right then and there. And Edward went flying.
