Bella climbs in her truck and slams the door, pissed. Starts the truck and then turns it off. Deciding, she tosses the keys aside and sinks down into her seat to wait -
Rain now pours down. Billy, inside pulls the curtain back, looks out at Bella with sympathy and then closes the curtain.
Bella looks out the passenger window and sees Billy. Suddenly, there's a knock at the driver's window she spins to find Jacob standing there. His face is shockingly different. His hair is cropped short. No friendly smile. No warmth in his eyes. Just hard, brooding resentment. Bella is shocked. She climbs out of the truck to find - behind Jacob stands Sam, Jared, Paul,Selena and Embry. They're oblivious to the rain wearing simple shorts and Selena is wearing a shirt and some small shorts.
You cut your hair said Bella.
Go away said Jacob.
Jacob turns away. Sam leads the group towards his house. Jacob follows them. She, grabs his arm.
What happened to you ? asked Bella. He stops, turns back. The others wait on the porch for him they were out of the ears short but Selena stayed with Jacob they won't leave him alone.
I can help said Bella.
His face is hard as he shakes his head not talking.
Sam got you. What did he do ? asked Bella.
Sam's trying to help me, don't blame him said Jacob.
Then who ? asked Bella.
How 'bout those filthy, reeking blood suckers you love the Cullens said Jacob.
I ... don't know what you're saying Bella rambled.
You know exactly know what I'm talking about said Jacob.
He's shaking, almost convulsing with anger before she regroups.
JAKE said Selena shaking her head.
The Cullens are long gone. How are they to blame ? said Bella.
They started all this by existing said Jacob.
Jacob stop. Sel come on said Sam coming out.
Jacob glances at Sam, who gives him look at Jacob as he takes a breath a trying to calm down. Selena goes to Sam and they stand there so he could do this quickly.
I can't be friends with you anymore said Jacob.
Jake I know I hurt you. Please Selena left me please don't do this to me I should have been more up front but - I needed you, I still do. I don't know what that means yet, but if you both give me a chance. I could change myself said Bella.
Stop. Don't. It's not you said Jacob as he glances at Selena. This is the first time Jacob could feel the pain Selena's eyes. She was perfect and happy before, now she lives a life of hell not telling to her own parents and puts a brave face for others.
It's not you, it's me ? god Jake said Bella.
It's true. I'm not good ... for you said Jacob.
You wrong ... said Bella.
It doesn't matter. This is over - said Jacob.
I can't take this losing my best friends said Bella.
You already have - said Jacob.
Don't say that - you promised - said Bella.
Go home Bella. Don't come back said Jacob.
He practically run away, joining the gang who all disappear inside.
Bella enters, dripping wet, too listless to close the door. Charlie's face falls when he sees the pain and lifeless returned to her. He grabs a blanket, wraps her.
Billy called and said you and Jake had a fight. But hey, you guys will work it out. I'm sure of it said Charlie.
I'm ... going to change said Bella and went to sleep. But suddenly woke up after hearing a streaking sound.
- Bella tosses herself awake, slowly realizing it was just a dream. But knocking sound was heard again. Bella bolts upright looks for a weapon.
Bella - down here; open the window said Jacob.
Bella cautiously moves near her window find - Jacob, shirtless, clings to the top of the which bends with his weight.
Bella opens the window, whisper yelling What are you doing here ?.
Get out of the way said Jacob as he begin to swing his leg, increasing momentum.
No said Bella realizing what he's doing.
He launches himself through the window with great agility - he takes in her room.
I pictured your room more cluttered said Jacob.
Why are you here ? asked Bella.
I had to talk to you. Alone. said Jacob.
To kick me in the gut again ? it was bad before, but you made it so much worse said Bella.
I know and I want to explain. But ... I can't said Jacob.
Then leave said Bella trying to push him but he's immovable.
You done with me remember ? get out said Bella.
Bella, i literally can't explain ... said Jacob.
Bella pulls away realizing.
I broke my promise not to hurt you, I know. But I'm trying to keep it now. I need you understand ... even if you don't want to see me when you find out - said Jacob.
Find what out ? asked Bella.
he starts to speak - but can't. It's agonizing. She sees he's in pain.
What's wrong ? asked Bella.
I can't do it said Jacob.
Yes, you can. I'll help you. We can leave. leave home, leave Sam said Bella.
Is that what you always suggest. Running away, It's not something we can run away from but wait I already told - I told you. You know this - you can guess said Jacob.
I don't want to play games with you - said Bella.
You have to ! I can't tell you. But if you remember - it was that day i ran into you at the beach. I told you a story ... about ? asked Jacob.
... about "the cold ones ? " you said it was a tribal myth said Bella.
Was it ? are the cold ones a myth ? asked Jacob. She didn't answer.
What else did I say ? asked Jacob.
That ... the tribe made a treaty with them. That they can't come onto your land and I can't remember said Bella.
Try Bella said Jacob.
You have to give me more. Tell me where to look. Is there something I should see ? - asked Bella.
No, that's too dangerous. Sel will kill us said Jacob.
I'll take the risk Jacob show me said Bella.
When was they last place you saw me the way I used to be ? asked Jacob.
The motorcycles - that clearing in the woods said Bella.
