Chapter 3
"Where are you going Bella?" Sue asked from the couch, her and Charlie were watching television. Charlie had taken a week off work when he found out I was coming home. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with us. He stood up from the couch and stepped in front of Ty and me. he looked worried.
"I was thinking of seeing Billy" I whispered to him. He looked shocked and still had that worried look in his eyes.
"do you think that's the best thing to do right now, you've only been home about a day bells"
He was right. I knew he was, I should wait. I should think about how to approach this but I was getting antsy I wanted to rip this off like a band-aid.
"you have to remember that I kept this from him too bells, I don't know how he's going to react towards us." He looked at Ty when he spoke, she was in my arms hugging me tight she knew how to read a room and how to read me. I was tense and scared so she tightened her arms around me and hid her face.
"I lied to my best friend, I don't know what I would do in his place" he went to sit down next Sue again.
I put Ty down and went to sit across from Sue and Charlie, I let out a breath and stared at them.
"You only did what I asked you to dad, I didn't care at the time, I thought I was helping" I told him.
Jacob deserved better than to be a 16-year-old dad just because of one stupid mistake. I knew Jake, I knew he would bend over backwards for us and probably drop out of school and put all that stress on himself and try to fix everything. He was already doing that with Billy I dint want him to do that with us.
"I should have pushed you a bit more to come home Bella, you were a kid raising a kid on your own, hell I didn't know about Ty until after you had her" he stood up again and started pacing in the living room.
"Dad it didn't matter what you told me, I wasn't going to come home I was going to finish school, Ty deserves a good future and that means a decent job and career for her parents." She needed stability I knew how it was growing up with a parent who wasn't responsible, my mother didn't care about having a stable job or home for me. it was terrible not knowing where we would be living every few months. The longest we stayed somewhere was when we moved to Arizona we were there for four years and then I came to stay with Charlie. Renee wasn't exactly a mother she was more of a friend, she was irresponsible. I remember the electricity being turned off and the water being shut off because she would forget to pay it.
Charlie just stared at me "what are you going to do Bella?" he stared down at me.
"I don't know they deserve to know her and she deserves it too" I looked up at Charlie and begged him to understand. "I realized that I'm doing to Jake what Rene did to you" my voice cracked and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.
Charlie sat next to me and held me while I cried. He held me tight and kissed the top of my head. "You did what you thought was best and honestly Bella you can't change the past, we just need to move forward."
Ty walked over to Charlie and got in his lap and started asking him about fishing. I started laughing and then Sue started also. Ty really was Charlies and Billy's granddaughter.
"Maybe I should just go down there on my own and see how it goes, I can leave Ty with you and Sue" I was grasping at straws at this point. It was safe now, Ty would be ok away from me, Alice confirmed that.
"I think that's fine honey, Charlie and I can watch her. With all the excitement, I forgot to give a certain little girl her present." Hearing the word present Ty ran to Sue and all but forgot about Charlie and fishing.
I started walking towards the door and Charlie walked me out to my SUV. When Alice found me, she left it for me, at first, I didn't want it, I didn't touch it for weeks until I realized how safe Ty would be in it.
"If I'm not back in a few hours I probably got murdered, so come find me" I told Charlie with a sad smile.
Charlie snorted at that, "you'll be fine kid, everything will work out not at first but in the end, it will" Charlie opened the door for me and squeezed my shoulder and then walked back to the house.
I was shaking the whole drive to La Push, I can't do this, I can't. I was in La push already and I pulled over to the side of the road. I need to control my breathing, oh god I think this is a panic attack, I'm having a panic attack on the side of the road. I looked up from the steering wheel and looked into the forest, it was beautiful here I missed it every day. I took a deep breath and began driving towards the little red house that I missed for 5 years.
"she's crossed the border Jake" Quil sat down next to me on my dad's porch stairs.
"I know I felt it." I whispered.
"are you sure she isn't your imprint? It sounds like it Jake"
"Alpha's don't imprint you know that, this is something else" I touched my heart the same spot I've had the ache these last years that she's been gone.
"You know she's coming here right? Are you ready?" Quil stood up and looked out into the road, we can hear an unfamiliar car, it must be her. I wasn't ready, I always hoped she would come back after she finished school. But now that she's here all I feel is anger, she thinks she can just come back and drive down here and I'll let her back in with open arms.
I started shaking the wolf was getting angry he didn't want me to be upset with her, she was ours. I looked up to Quil and nodded my head for him to leave. As soon as he left, a car came up the drive way. I knew it was her, I felt the pull to her, my wolf was fighting to come out I had to concentrate to reign him in.
She stayed inside, I could hear her mumbling to herself that she should leave. That she wanted to go back to someone named Ty. That grabbed the wolfs attention my head snapped up to her, she had someone else in her life so why the fuck was she here. When I looked up to her she was getting out of her black SUV, she started walking towards me her head was down I couldn't see her face. My eyes roamed over her and my breath caught, she filled out a lot, she wasn't a 17-year-old teenager anymore she was a woman. She was wearing high boots, leggings and very tight tank top that showed her very curvy cleavage. I couldn't stop staring, the closer she got the more they bounced, it was like I was in a trance my wolf was happy of how beautiful our bella was. She finally stepped in front of me and she still had not looked up. I can could smell her, I could hear her breathing and her heart beating.
"You look different" I choked out in barely a whisper. Her head snapped up at that. And then I felt my heart tighten, god she was more beautiful then I remember. I started shaking, my wolf wanted out he wanted to show her what he looked like.
"I-I uumm I g-gained some weight" she was stuttering and right then and there I saw my Bells, my clumsy, shy, smart Bells.
"It looks good on you" I whispered. A pretty blush started creeping up from her chest and it made my eyes go back down to her cleavage. "what do you want bella, why are you here?" I snapped. It was getting harder to not phase.
"I wanted to talk to you, I need to explain.." I interrupted before she continued on
"Explain what, how you've been gone for years?" I stood up and yelled in her face, it should have intimidated her but instead she hardened her face.
"Everything, I want to explain everything" she yelled back. "This isn't easy for me either Jacob, I know I've been gone and that you must hate me, but there is someone more important than our feelings." She was breathing hard and stepped back away from me.
"someone" I growled at her, I snorted and sat back down. "what makes you think I would want to hear anything you have to say, especially have you explain this someone to me."
"Jake I need to explain to you what happened, I didn't come back alone and that why.." I interrupted again, I'm not listening to this shit.
I got in her face again "I'm not listening to what you have to say, this conversation is 5 years too late. You really think I want to hear about you and this Ty." I snarled.
She looked terrified and my wolf was pissed that I scared her. "How do you know about Ty, who told you" her voice cracked and I could see her eyes welling up with tears.
"Why does it matter, I don't give a fuck about you and anything or anyone that has to with you". She just stayed quite and started turning back towards her SUV.
"Don't come back to La Push Bella, I don't want to see you here and trust me ill know if you try" I screamed at her retreating back. And I ran around my dad's house and phased into the forest.
"Stop right their young lady" I heard the familiar voice of Billy Black, Jakes dad and the tribe's chief. "Shit" I mumbled to myself. I turned around and there was Billy in his wheelchair on the porch where Jake was sitting. "Come inside Bella ill make us some tea and you can explain to me what exactly is going on." And then he just went inside like nothing, expecting me to follow him.
I stood stunned outside, wiping my face of the tears, he knew about Ty and he didnt care. My heart felt like there was hole in it, how was I going to do this. I moved back for her, so she can know her dad and he couldn't care less. I slowly made my way inside, I must have been out there long because when I went inside Billy was already sitting at the table in the kitchen with two mugs of steaming tea.
"Why did Charlie call me and asked me to eaves drop on your conversation with my son, and he specifically said that when Jake ran off, for me to grab you and have you explain to me, apparently I'm more reasonable." I don't think I've ever seen Billy this upset before. "All I know Bella is that my son was heartbroken when you left and he didn't hear from you again, so why should I listen to Charlie and let you explain?" I looked at him and tried to figure where I should start, I stood up walked out and grabbed my bag from the SUV, I walked back in and sat back down with a stunned Billy. "This is why I didn't come back" I whispered as I handed him an album. He took in and stared at it, he was about to open it when I stopped him. "Billy, you have to remember that this was my decision and my dad was about my decision please don't blame him, just hate me but please don't take it out on my dad." I removed my hand from his and he started flipping through the pages.
I heard sniffling and when I looked up Billy had tears running down his cheeks, which only made me start to cry. When he heard me, he looked up and gave me a sad smile.
"She's beautiful, she looks like Jake. And you of course." He laughed, when he saw certain pictures.
"What's her name?" Billy asked, I looked up and smiled at him, "Ty-ohni Sarah Swan, but we call her Ty. He smiled back and laughed, "Wolf?" I blushed at his question, of course he knew what her name meant. "I remember the tribe's stories from when I was little, you and Sarah would tell them to Jake and me, I remember the wolf being big part of that, I love those memories so it just felt right." He just stared at me, "Sarah would be so happy to know that her first granddaughter has her name". I smiled at him "Thank You Billy."
We sat at the table for a while looking at the pictures. Billy didn't really ask that many more questions.
"Is she at Charlies?" Billy started gong towards the front door. He looked back at me expectantly, "well, is she?". I was stunned looking "y-yeah she is" I stuttered back. "Then let's go, I want to meet my granddaughter" he smiled at me and started going outside. Leaving me standing in the kitchen with my mouth wide open.
Charlie was waiting for us outside when Billy and I got there, he was smiling at us. He helped Billy inside, I stood outside and took a deep breath when I felt like someone was staring at me so I turned around and looked out into the woods, I can feel something looking at me. I closed my eyes and remembered that Ty and I were safe, no one was after us. When I walked into the living room Ty was hugging Billy, he looked up to me with questions in his eyes.
"I showed her photos of her family, I wanted her to know where she comes from and who her Grandpa Billy is." She sat down next Charlie who was smiling at Billy and Ty.
I ran to my shop where some of the guys were, when I walked in they could feel the tension and ager rolling off me. I looked at all of them "finish what you're working on and close up, Leah your up for the next few days". She nodded and walked out, Leah was my Beta and when I was busy or had to leave the rez she oversaw the pack. I needed sometime alone I don't need anyone in my head. "LEAH!" I yelled out from my office, she ran in a few seconds later, glaring at me "What the hell Jake the whole rez heard that" I rolled my eyes and continued looking at my paperwork and bills for the shop.
"What's going on Jake" Leah asked.
"Bella is back, she came to the rez. Tell everyone that she isn't to come back, I want to know the second she steps on it". I gritted out while I was signing papers. When I didn't hear anything, I looked up at her and she was smiling. Fuck I don't need this.
"so, she's back huh? How does she look?" Leah sounded amused. She was wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"Really? You think it matters what she looks like? Just tell everyone that I don't want her anywhere near the rez." I got up and started heading out the shop. "Embry lock up and make sure you have Seth finish up the appointment calls and then he could leave" I told him over my shoulder. As I ran towards the woods I heard a chorus of "Yes Sir" from my pack.
When I phased Quil was put patrolling
"Anything going on Quil?" I could see he was in forks around Charlies house.
"your dad is at Charlie's, Bella and Sue are there too." I stopped where I was going and started towards Quil. Why did she take Billy there? "I'll handle it Quil go patrol the rez" I snapped at him. I knew I was being a dick but I didn't care. When I got there, I could hear Bella upstairs showering and I heard some deep breathing and a heartbeat coming from her room. Charlie, Sue and Billy were downstairs, I heard Bella make her way from the bathroom to her room and the light turned on, I could tell she was rustling around in there.
"Go back to sleep honey", I heard her whisper and my heart ached and I could feel the anger and hate I've had for her over the years hit me with a force. I howled and when I felt someone phase in, I told them to phase later. I didn't want to deal with anyone. I just wanted to run.
"is she sleeping kiddo" Charlie asked from his recliner in the living room as I went back downstairs. I put her to bed then showered and changed. I sat down next to Sue on the couch and looked at Billy who was staring at the album I had showed him earlier.
"Yes, she's asleep. She tired herself out." I kept staring at Billy, I couldn't believe he was here and that Ty absolutely loved him already.
"Jake knows" I whispered "He knows about Ty and he didn't care" I said with a cracked voice. Charlie looked at me with a confused look.
"That doesn't sound like Jake, what do you mean?" Charlie said. He looked over to Billy, but he was not paying attention to us he was still flipping the pages of the album.
"Billy" I said to get his attention, "You can keep that album" I told him in a sweet voice when he looked up at me. I smiled at him, his eye welled up and he nodded at me.
"Jacob doesn't know Bella, my son isn't the same boy you remember, he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve anymore." He said in a sad voice "try again tomorrow and then the next day, keep trying until he listens or better yet when he sees". He took out a picture from the album and handed it to me.
"This one is perfect, she looks just like the two of you" Billy smiled. I grabbed the photo and saw that it was a picture of Ty in a bathing suit playing at the beach, she had the biggest smile and she was completely drenched and caked in sand and mud. She had Jacobs enormous smile and my crazy curly hair, she was beautiful.
"He said he didn't want to know about Ty, how would he know her name?" I asked Billy. He looked at me and gave me a long look.
"He will answer that for you, I can't." Everyone was quiet for a while. Until the doorbell rang. I got up to answered it, I was shocked when I saw Leah and Seth at the door. Seth was huge!
"Hey little sis, we finally get to see you!" Seth said with a huge smile, he stepped up and gave me a huge hug. Damn he was huge at least six feet tall, I hugged him back and giggled when he picked me up off the ground. When we let go I looked up at him and smiled.
"You are not little Sethy" I told him with a huge smile, he looked offended with the "little" part.
Leah laughed and said "Yup little Sethy grew up, although you didn't Bella, still a little runt huh? Leah smiled evilly at me.
"Yup I'm still a little runt" I smiled sweetly at her. "And I see that you've grown out of being a little bitch to a big bitch, congratulations on that accomplishment." I didn't look to see what her reaction was, I started walking towards the stairs. I'm not the same girl I was back then either and I'm going to make sure everyone knows this.
I stopped before I went up the stairs, everyone was staring at me. Sue had an amused look on her so did Seth, Charlie looked upset, Billy looked like he was trying to read me, and Leah was smiling and looked proud.
"Billy you are more that welcome to come back and visit, if its ok with you I would like to stop by at your place as well". I gave one last smile and went upstairs to go sleep next to my world.
I know it's been a looooong update. I don't really have an excuse except schools kept me busy. Hope you enjoyed and I promise to work on the updates.
