Chapter 11:

Jake's POV

I woke up to the sound of my cell phone ringing in my ear, I had no idea of how long it had rung but when I picked up it I saw I had five missed calls.

Two were from Leah, one from Emily, and two more from Seth. Nobody had bothered to leave a voicemail, so I figured that Emily and Leah chose not to lecture me on my voice mail but instead to wait till I answered the phone. I had assumed that Seth called to warn me about the impending attack of estrogen.

I tossed my cell phone aside; I really had no desire to fight with anyone now. I'm sure they were still completely and totally Team Vanessa, well except Seth.

I thought about Vanessa and her tears, begging me to forgive her and start fresh.

I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to think about raising another man's child.

The child's father wanted nothing to do with it, or with Vanessa. This Edward guy, Vanessa told me his name. Edward's father was some hoity toity publisher, and offered Vanessa a boat load of money to just go away. She told me that we would be set to raise the baby without financial constraints.

I didn't care about the fucking money. How responsible to just have your rich Daddy come and cover all your fuckups up with money? Nice. Way to learn responsibility.

I couldn't think about this anymore.

I still had no idea why Leah and Emily were calling me, unless they were finally told the truth. The baby wasn't mine. Vanessa had told them all her lies and made them believe I would leave a woman who was pregnant with my child.

My Dad and Seth knew me better. Thank god for them.

My cell phone rang again, I picked it up and looked at the screen it was a number I didn't recognize.

"Hello?"

"Jake. It's Bella."

The sound of her voice washed over me chasing away all the anger. I had no idea how she got my number, and I frankly didn't care. "Bella. It's good to hear from you. Glad you called."

"Jake listen, I need to see you. I have to tell you something. Can I meet you down at First Beach?"

Her voice sounded panicked, and I hoped that nothing was wrong. "Yeah, sure Bella. Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll see you in ten minutes."

I flipped my phone shut and grabbed the nearest crumbled up t-shirt that lay on the floor, and headed out the door towards the beach concern about Bella nagging at my very soul.

When Bella's truck pulled in it almost looked as if she was a little reluctant to get out, I watched her almost waiting for her to change her mind and go speeding off never to be heard from again. I wouldn't have blamed her one bit.

"Jake!" She called to me and I ran towards her, scooping her up in my arms and it felt so good. I crushed my lips to hers, need filling my body but I knew this was neither the time nor the place. At least in broad daylight that is.

Reluctantly I broke the kiss and placed Bella back down on her feet, "I need to talk to you." She grabbed my hand. I hoped this wasn't a breakup talk. Wait. What were we anyways? "I saw your ex-fiancée today at the restaurant. She was with my ex.. Edward Cul…"

The anger from earlier bubbled to the surface at the mention of that leech's name. "Edward Cullen? Vanessa was here with him?" So Bella was telling me that Cullen was here. Here in La Push. What. The. Fuck. "Wait. Edward Cullen is your ex?" How small of a world it is.

Bella nodded. "Do you know Edward or something Jacob?"

"Yeah I know the bastard alright." I had to let go of Bella's hand for fear of crushing it out of anger, not at her but at the fact the leech was here. "He's the asshole who Vanessa cheated on me with, and knocked her up."

Bella's eyes grew wide and then rolled back in her head as she promptly passed out. In an instant I was grabbing her before she hit her head on the ground. "Bella. Bella, wake up." I said gently shaking her as I laid her on the sand.

Bella POV

The darkness enveloped me, I could hear Jake's panicked voice but it sounded like it was a million miles away from me. My brain needed me to take a break from the conscious world while it contemplated what Jake just told me.

His ex-fiancée was a member of Edward's harem. I wondered if she was the one he cheated on Tanya with, or if Vanessa was going in and out of Edward's revolving doors at the same time I was. Unbeknownst to me, anyways.

I couldn't help but wonder why Edward was here, obviously he came after Vanessa. Or he came to settle something with her. Edward never wanted children; it was an unwritten rule between us. I had accepted that when we got together, career was to come first with both of us. It was all about money, money was all Edward and his family really cared about.

"Bella! Wake up, please Bella!" Jake's voice was in slow motion but it was closer. I fluttered my eyes open to see a rather blurry form of Jake leaning over me.

"Hey." His voice was instantly soft, not filled with as much worry. I remembered everything, so at least I didn't have to ask the lame question of why I was on the ground.

"Sorry." I mumbled as Jake helped me sit up. My eyes searched his dark ones for a sign. How were we to proceed from this? We still couldn't put our relationship, or whatever it was we were doing, on a public display yet.

Jake's eyes bored into mine; obviously he had no answers for me. I just hoped and prayed I didn't run into Edward, our breakup wasn't exactly friendly.

A/N – Yeah, it's a short one :( .. my allergies are killing me but I really wanted to update, and I'm just having a hard time concentrating. I'll try to update again this week to make up for it.

Remember, reviews are better than waking up to Jake standing over you!
