It has been a two weeks since Bella stormed into my room screaming at me for things I had no control over and to respect another's privacy. Bella phones Jacob as much as she possibly can, she's not seen him since the movies. We still aren't on good terms, well every time I try to talk to her to find out what's wrong with her. She glares at me as if Jacob not talking to her is my fault.
I have now not spoken to Jacob in a month or so now, so how Bella thinks this is my fault is beyond me as if I haven't had any contact from him as he requested of me then how can any of it be my fault. I would have phoned to ask for Jacob, but since Bella is getting nowhere fast through phone calls then I just phoned to ask Billy how's he has been doing and if Jacob is feeling any better, always finishing off with asking him if he needs me to do anything. Unlike Bella, I don't bombard them with phone calls, I just phone daily before dinner.
"Mary!" Bella shouted from downstairs. Does she want to shout at me again I wondered as I went downstairs to meet her. "We are going on a hike" she stated. I just blinked at her, she's officially gone crazy. Dad has been getting reports from the station about hikers being killed in the woods and that is what she wants to do. "I want to find a place I always used to go to and I could use the company. I know I really don't deserve it after what I said to you that night. But please can we go, safety in numbers right?" she said hesitantly.
I noticed how she acknowledged that she done a bad thing but didn't apologise for it. I guess that it's the best I was going to get out of her and I really couldn't be bothered with another argument. So I put on my combat boots and shrugged on my black hooded coat and followed Bella into the woods.
"Do you know where you are going Bella?" I asked her, I was a wee bit behind her as I didn't know where I was going and that she's slow.
"I am looking for a meadow" was all she said.
"Was this the meadow you and Edward always used to go to?" I asked her and she flinched when I said his name. So now I know what she's doing. She's still not over him, not that that's a surprise. After how long and severe her depression was and how she has clutched onto Jake and now he's not talking to her. She is slipping again, I knew this would happen. To be fair after dating a vampire who broke up with you and left you in the woods lost and alone tends to be a fair enough bad breakup that's hard to get over.
We finally reached the so called Meadow. Bella looked crushed, it looked dead and bare. She fell to the ground and stroked it. I put my hand on her shoulder in comfort, it was then I saw a familiar face. I squeezed Bella's shoulder and she looked up and saw Laurent who then zoomed in to face to face talking distance. I jumped and Bella stood up.
"Bella, Mary. I came to visit the Cullen's but the place was empty" he said and circled us slowly. "I am surprised that they left you behind. Not so much Mary as she was just the package deal that came with you" he looked at my sister. I was a little offended but I decided that the comment was a good thing for me when it came to Vampires.
"Do the Cullen's visit often?" he asked. Bella jumped as if she saw a ghost.
"All the time" Bella replied "I will tell them that you stopped by, why are you here?"
"I came as a favour for Victoria" he said. Both Bella and I visibly flinched at the thought of her.
"Victoria wouldn't be happy about me killing you" he said looking at the ground, my eyes widened in fear. I am back to hating my sister for dragging me into all this Vampire rubbish. She's like a bloody magnet to the things. "You see Victoria isn't happy about Edward killing her mate. So she sees that it's only fair that he kills Edward's so that he could feel the pain that she felt when he killed James" he continued. That done nothing to help calm my nerves.
"But you helped us. Edward wouldn't be happy. He's very protective" Bella argued.
"But he's far away isn't he?" he questioned her. He rushed up to us. He cupped Bella's face in his hands as a comforting gesture. "Don't worry, you won't feel a thing. I will kill you quickly whereas Victoria planned to kill you slowly and painfully" he said Bella gently. I tugged at his arm.
"Please don't" I told him over and over again. But he just threw me backwards behind Bella. I had the wind knocked out of me and there was pain. I saw Laurent put his hand up to kill her and her heard what I guess was supposed to be her last words "Edward I love you" nice to know that she doesn't include her family in there but oh well. But then he stopped as a growl sounded from behind me. I looked around and saw horse sized wolves emerging from the woods. I was officially terrified. First Vampires and now giant wolves.
The wolves looked at me before charging at Laurent who turned and ran. A russet coloured one past me and stopped to look at Bella before it rushed to join in with the fight. Bella got up and grabbed my arm lifting me up before we ran through the woods to get home.
As soon as we got home, Bella ran to dad "Dad I saw them" she said. I just caught up with her and went straight for a glass of water. I was so out of breath and terrified. "I saw them in the woods. They're not bears, they're wolves" she said.
"What the hell were you two doing in the woods" dad asked. "You saw them? Wolves?" Bella nodded in response.
"Harry can you round some guys up for a hunting trip?" dad asked. Harry looked startled but said sure before going to use the phone. "Just stay in the house. Both of you" dad said as he followed Harry. We nodded, as soon as dad and Harry left the house I slid down the cupboards for a breather. Bella just went up to her room. Thanks for the concern I thought as she disappeared.
THE NEXT DAY
I was having such a nice sleep when Bella came into my room and opened up the curtains. "Why? It's the weekend, I want to sleep" I complained rolling onto my stomach and pulling the cover over my head. She then proceeded to rip the cover off me. "How rude" I said in ja ja binx voice to her whilst going into sitting position. (Star Wars reference)
She just rolled her eyes at me and proceeded to go to my wardrobe and chuck me leggings, a black skirt and pink long sleeved top. She set out black socks and my black flats, as well as some underwear. I looked at her shocked, she actually done something for me, picked an outfit that was actually nice. "We are going to Jakes, so get ready" she said and left me sitting there dumfounded.
I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked quite nice. I put on my hematite dolphin that Jake bought me and my rose quartz heart earrings and bracelets. I put my diamond studs in my ears. I brushed my hair and grabbed my black hair band and was ready to go. I went to the truck which Bella was already inside of and we drove down to La Push. It was raining which it always was in Forks but today just seemed especially gloomy. We parked outside of the little red house that Jacob and Billy resided in. We saw Jacob walking out in the rain shirtless.
Bella ran outside and beckoned me to follow her as so I did. We approached Jacob and I was already soaked to the bone, I wrapped my arms around myself looking down at the ground feeling my clothes stick to me like a second skin. "Jacob! I thought you were too sick to come outside or answer the phone when I call" Bella said to him, he was looking at her. They were talking and it sounded like a breakup to me even though they weren't going out. "Mary has missed you since you told her not to come here when I was here. Before you say that she's now broke her promise, I dragged her here" Bella said, she's sticking up for me.
I looked up and looked at Jacob, I caught his eyes and it was like my world just stopped. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown with gold flecks in them making them look animalistic. I blinked and when I looked at him again he was glaring at me with such intensity that I thought I would be swallowed down into a hole.
"It wasn't supposed to be you" he murmured angrily "Why do you have to always ruin everything Mary! It wasn't supposed to you!" He shouted at me I recoiled as if he backhanded me. Tears ran down my cheeks. I was just standing there, what did I ruin? I didn't understand. I was trembling but this time it wasn't just because of the cold but Jacob's words had cut a deep cut into me. I turned walking quickly back to the truck. I heard a sound coming from behind me, like an animal call.
I turned briefly and saw Sam, Paul, Jared and Embry. They were clones of each other each bulky with muscle, shirtless and hair cut short with the same tattoo on their upper arm. Jacob was the new member of the Sam Uley cult. The four guys looked at me sympathetically, I turned and got into the truck, dripping wet and cold and in uncontrollable tears.
Bella returned soon after. "I am sorry that I brought you down here. I didn't think he would react that way towards you" she said as we drove home. I just nodded my head and stared out of the window trying to control the sobs that were threatening in my throat making it tighten and sore. When we got home I just went back to my room and put on my Jamies and got back to bed. I cried myself to sleep. I couldn't believe that Jake said those things; I couldn't believe that he hurt me. My Jake would never say those things; he would never hurt me like that. I guess he's just not my Jake anymore.
