Chapter 37 (Bella's POV)
(I forgot to explain this, Bella has the visions because she always knew what was going on. I'm in a hurry, so GTG)
"BELLA!!!! HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!!!" Edward said, coming to stand behind me, holding me in front of him to protect him from Sam.
"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?" I said giggling.
Edward gave me a quick grin, "You better be, because he's going to have a 'talk' with you."
"Uh-oh." I said, not so giggly now. "You know what? Go run around again while I sneak off.
"You're not going anywhere." Sam said, coming out with jeans on.
"I didn't do anything!" I shouted before I could shut my mouth. Edward's body shook against me, laughing.
"Do you mind?" Sam asked politely to the two couples. "I think Edward and Bella need a talk with me."
They all laughed and giggled as they left.
Sam looked at us and gestured for us to sit down. In for the long haul. But I had to say something, "Sam. We really didn't do anything! I was just joking!"
He gave me a look before sitting down, "Now, how about you tell me what you were thinking?"
"Let's see. I was thinking about making you mad-which happened and ---
"Bella, I meant about you and Edward doing that---" He swirled his hand, "stuff."
"SAM! He slept over a couple times, but we didn't do anything. Plus Charlie knew he was there." At least sometimes. In the morning.
"Where did you sleep?" Sam asked Edward.
"On the couch." I answered. I just didn't want Edward to say 'in her bed'.
"So, he didn't sleep anywhere else?" Sam questioned me.
"Uh…." Busted.
"BELLA SWAN!" He roared.
"We were just sleeping!"
"Didn't we teach you better?!"
That hit a nerve. "YOU WERE GONE! I wasn't ALLOWED to come over!!!"
He blinked in surprise. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
"Edward was there for me! He came when I needed him or anybody! He helped with whatever was needed. He didn't make excuses."
A look of pain went through his face before he replied slowly, "We left you when you needed us most, didn't we?"
"What-"
"You were finally having to face things. You mom-and everything she did. Plus Charlie wasn't helping much." He stared at me in apology.
"But Edward was there. He made everything okay." I said, looking up at him. He smiled back and gave me a kissed on my forehead.
"Be good, Bella Swan. We'll see you in a few years." He smiled fatherly and left us to go back to the house.
"Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?" Edward said beside me.
"Not at all." I said, leaning into his embrace.
"We should head back. The packs are leaving." Edward's head was look, hearing something. I used my power to see all the leader's shaking hands and the naked men transforming back into wolves. (I bet Edward didn't want me to see that) So, I quickly ran to the house, hoping to get to say bye to Jake and the rest.
We were there within seconds.
"JAKE!!!" I shouted before the pack took off. He was in his wolf form and I easily spotted him. I flung myself onto him and hugged him around his furry big head. "You were leaving without saying bye!"
He trembled beneath me and I remembered he was laughing.
"Well, sorry for wanting to say bye to my best friend." I said, unlatching my grip from him. He whimpered and licked my face, "EW! Who knows where that mouth has been?!"
He growled playfully and tackled me, pinning me to the ground. He changed and was now naked on top of me. Where in the world was Edward and who was holding him back. (AN"LOL) "You were saying?"
\"JAKE! You're naked again!" I squealed as he tickled me.
"Really? I hadn't noticed." We heard growling and looked over to Edward (With Emmett and Jasper holding each arm) "Whoops! Sorry." He gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Bell's. Promise you'll come see us?"
He pouted. I laughed and hugged him, "Of course!"
He gave me a wolfish grin and changed again, taking off with the rest. I stood up, Edward helping me, and watched them go, "BYE!!! BE SAFE!!!! DON'T PLAY TOO HARD!!!!"
Chuckles were heard behind me. The rest of the packs left one-by-one, shaking hands with Carlisle and Tanya. When they were finally gone, everybody went into the house, seeing as there was no reason to stay outside. But Edward and I staid out, enjoying the sun setting.
"It's twilight." Edward mused.
"I'm thirsty, Edward." I said, no longer holding it back. HE quickly took me back through the woods to the animals.
"Just let your instincts take over." HE softly said.
I did as he said and quickly used my vampireness to know where exactly the caribou was. There were wild wolves not to far away, following the caribou. I drank two caribous, leaving the meat for the wolves and made my way over to Edward, "Okay, let's go."
"Are you going to be okay?" Edward asked as we walked to the house. We had an arm wrapped around each other, holding each other tight.
"Yeah. I can still call them. I just can't see them until I have enough control."
"Well, I think you already have a lot." He said. "I mean, you haven't had to feed for the past few days, when wolves were nearby. And I've never seen your eyes go black once."
"So, I have more control than you?" I said slyly.
"Um-uh." He looked undecided. "Maybe." He stopped in his tracks, so I did too. "Alice wants me for some reason, so I'm going to run the rest of the way back. Coming?"
"I think I'll just keep walking." I said, letting go of him.
He kissed me on the lips taking my face in his hands. "I'll see you in a few, Darlin'."
He was gone before I opened my eyes. I kept walking but felt someone watching me. I turned and a few miles back, I saw Jake standing there watching me. He let out a howl and turned around and ran-saying his last good-bye. Until I came back, that is.
"Bye, Jake." I
whispered to the wind. "I'll see ya in a bit. And Charlie too."
I started walking back to the house, singing my song, "Oh, I hear
the weather's nice in California.
And just in case you're
wondering about me. From now on I won't be in Carolina. Your little
girl is off, your little girl is off, your little girl is off…To
Tennessee."
That's it!!!! The song is the Kellie Pickler's I wonder. It's the song Bella was singing when she and Edward were up in the stable attic. I thought it fit perfectly. I also had another ending, where Edward blushed, but I liked this much better.
I probably will write another one after Eclipse, but won't update as much-(I promised my parents this was my last one.hehehe.) But I will be at school, so I'll have to do it all there. I CAN't WAIT (for the book, not school)
Well, thank you for all my reviewer's, I could make a sequel-I do have an idea…but Eclipse is coming out soon and well, I don't want to have it coinciding with everything else. SO…I probably won't be doing one. Unless I can sum it up in nine chapters (And you know me, I keep adding and adding and it'll turn into a 30 chapter sequel.)
So Thank you everybody, I hope you liked the story. I know I enjoyed writing it and reading the reviews.
