A.N- I'm sorry to say but there will most likely only be one more fast chapter posted in my holiday rush (last day of hols tomorrow) after that they will be spaced farther apart (homework takes top priority sadly)! On another sad note as much as I hate Jacob I did feel so sorry for him at the end of this chapter! When you read it maybe you to will feel sorry; as mean as he was its just mean on Bellas part! As always please review!!
Edward Prov.
I paced around the hospital angrily. Walking seemed to be my new calming mechanism; I'd been doing it quite a bit lately. Everything seemed to have calmed down around the hospital. The cleaners had been brought in to remove all the damage our sudden brawl had caused. It was all too much for me to take in at once. Bella, my darling perfect angel Bella, was PREGNANT.
Not only was she expecting she had been impregnated by Jacob. JACOB! JACOB!
She had tried to explain to me how it had happened. She had been drunk; that seemed to knock some of the blame off her. Not that I would ever blame Bella; I knew she would never do something like that!
It was all that bloody mutts fault. I knew he'd always wanted her but I never thought he would go that low. Take her why she's most vulnerable, how pathetic! My fists clenched up again; I wanted to punch him! No I wanted to do so much more; I wanted to hurt him so badly he would end up in hospital. I wanted to ensure he would never be able to see Bella again.
I shook away the mental images he had given me. The bloody creep! He walked out of her room and just hit me with them; they were… they were… I couldn't bring myself to say the world in my mind let alone out loud.
As greedy and selfish as I sounded I wanted that experience to be mine! He didn't deserve to take her like that; especially when she didn't consent. Not that she would have been able to she was that wasted. I shook the memories away I didn't want to think about Bella like that; especially not through his eyes.
'How could he?' The question continued to buzz around my head like a persistent fly. ARGH! I screamed out in my head but it wasn't as effective as yelling out loud. I was tempted to but I was already receiving odd looks from most of the hospital staff. I opted for sitting down on a chair and going from there. My face ended up in my hands as I sorted through everything. How the hell was this going to work out? Was she going to go through with the baby? Would it be a werewolf? Would she keep it?
I didn't have the answers for any of these questions and I guessed Bella didn't either. It was all too hard…
My thoughts were muddled as a smell passed me. It was disgusting and I recognised it far too easily; werewolf. I looked up to see Jacob walk past me casually; I didn't know he was still here. Jumping to my feet we squared each other, eyes boring at one another.
"You filthy mutt," I spat, fury instantly filling me. He glared back with a cocky smile on his face.
"Leech" he shot back easily. I couldn't take it any more!
"You, me, outside; now!" I barked as we both backed out the door not turning away for a second.
The cold night breeze whipped around me; my body felt numb as I tensed waiting for a fight. It felt as if my natural instincts to kills were resurfacing after all these years of containing them. We slowly moved into a deserted car park eyes locked on each other. At least I knew it was night time again now; we had been in hospital for a good 24 hours.
We seemed to have found a spot as we stood still waiting for one another to make the first move. The car park was dark with the exception of the dull street lamps surrounding the perimeter. The hospital was far away from us now and the trees and shrubs should cover us well from passers-by. Anything could happen and nobody would know until it was too late.
Jacob stood perfectly still, smiling at me scornfully as my mind was bombarded with his memories. They were just like those in the hospital effect much more detailed… and graphic. I doubled over as each image filled my mind. Bella dancing with him, walking hand in hand, is kissing each other, taking her clothes off, them together under the covers. I try to block out the last of the images; how could they have done that! I knew she was drunk but… how?
Even in her intoxicated state somewhere deep inside she seemed to be almost … willing and enjoying it.
I snarled at him as the doubts swam with the still fresh images. He snarled back as I finally made the first move. Lunging at him with gracious speed I threw Jacob across the car park as easily as throwing a child. He managed to get his footing and land on the ground with a loud thud. Not what I was hoping for.
He ran at me eye glinting in the semi-darkness, I heard a low growl emit from his body as he charged into me. We collided head on with a deep crunch; there was a long struggle and when nobody budged we both recoiled. I smiled wickedly at him my anger fuelling me. We charged again; I grabbed his shoulders and spun, half way around I let him go flying. This time he wasn't so lucky. He hit the ground and went skidding 30 meters until he finally came to a halt. He managed to leave an indentation of his body stretching the entire length in a trail of shattered cement and blood. He got up slowly brushing himself down before sending another wave of memories back at me. There were no images only sounds this time. Groans and moans filled my head along with Bella's voice screaming and yelling for more…
My entire body tingled with anger and jealousy as I dived for him.
"I swear I'm going to KILL YOU!" I yelled my hands gripping firmly around his throat. I gripped tighter as he started making gurgling noises, he desperately tried to pull me off but he was fading. His body suddenly started shaking and convulsing with sharp tremors. In an unexpected burst Jacob disappeared and a wolf replaced him. My hands were no longer holding onto anything as he slammed into me sending me flying. I hit a tree with such force it was instantly uprooted. Jumping up again I bore my fangs as they angrily dripped venom and hissed. I took up an aggressive pose as he growled and positioned himself as well.
"Who's got Bella now?" He laughed in my mind.
"Sleeping with her while she was drunken counts for nothing!!" I shouted back.
"Does that really matter, she's pregnant now! Watcha going to do now leech?"
"At least she wants to BE WITH ME!" I laughed back at him finding a memory of him and Bella in the hospital what seemed hours ago.
"I can't just leave Jacob! I have a life here; sure there a few major issues to resolve but I'm sure we can work it out. I can't just go..."
"Still my baby"
"Love is thicker than blood!"
"What are you going to with the baby Leech? Its part werewolf, you won't be able to live with it. How could you anyway, you can't grow up!"
"I'll manage!"
"You know as well as I do; this isn't going to work. She's going to come to me!"
"That's a load of shit and you know it!"
"We'll see about that"
"Why don't you stop hiding behind this wolf facade and we'll deal with this properly."
With that human Jacob came back still grinning mockingly.
"Let's do this blood sucker!"
He threw the first punch which I easily deflected and threw a few back. I hit him in the lower jaw with a sickening crunch as blood started to flow from his lip. He smiled back at me undeterred.
"That's all you got?" He kicked me at the knees bringing me to my knees. I grabbed at his legs as he lost his footing and fell down too.
"Not by along shot" I replied grinning with anger, it felt as if a fire was burning me inside.
"STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" Alice's shrill voice called out in the darkness. It was only then that I noticed her mind in my head. I had been so distracted I hadn't realised. Jacob took my distraction as an advantage to lunge pinning me to the ground.
'Kick out his right knee! He's weaker on that side, if you take that out you can roll him over!" Emmett's voice boomed in my head excitedly. I took his advice and flipped him over as I held him fast. "Good job! You can so take him out!"
"Stop reeving him up Emmett!" I heard Alice hiss at him.
"What am I meant to do? Let our brother be beaten up by a wolf!?" he retorted louder.
"Good point; just don't kill him!" Alice sighed walking away. As she did I caught the end of her vision and her silent message. 'Take him inside when your done Bella hasn't finished with him yet.'
Emmett ran over and grabbed Jacob easily. He struggled against Emmett's steel grip but couldn't move.
"What do we do with him now?" Emmett asked casually.
"Just take him inside, he's not worth it." I huffed leading the way.
Bella Prov.
"I'll be right back" Alice squealed coming out a vision and running to the door. Her expression had been priceless; total shock. What had she seen?
"Ok…" I was cut off by the door slamming shut. I was alone again. Sighing I lay back into my bed; it was hideously uncomfortable. Stifling a yawn I knew there was noway I was getting to sleep for awhile. I needed Edward; I needed him to tell me he forgave me. Even then I didn't know if I would be able to rest. This day had been far too stressful. How could Jacob have just done that to me! Was it some sort of revenge plot; pit Edward against me and then I would have no choice but to go off with Jacob? Surely he would have known I wouldn't go with him. Or maybe it was the power in proving to Edward he was the bigger man. I prayed he hadn't shown him what I suspected he had; I couldn't bear to have Edward knowing what happened… I didn't even know what had happened.
I sighed again; this time in boredom as I looked around the room for something to do. It was a bland room with white wash walls a bed and table. Machines were positioned all around me beeping and scanning on their own. Once I had gotten back to bed I had been clipped up to different things and had needles poked in my hand. It was meant to make me heal quicker but I still felt like crap. In the corner there were a few bunches of flower and balloons but they were only from the Cullen's. Nobody else knew what had happened yet. I shuddered as I anticipated what it would be like tomorrow people coming in and out; questing what had happened.
I didn't have an explanation for myself let along hordes of people. Charlie would be here soon; the nurses had tried to call him but he had been sound asleep.
My stomach growled with hunger; I hadn't eaten in what felt like days. I needed food; I was eating for two after all! Beside me was a tray of untouched hospital food. Even I wasn't hungry enough to eat that yet. I turned to my other side and discovered the forgotten cake Emmett had left me. I opened in greedily a grabbed one of the pre-cut slices. Shoving it in my mouth I chewed quickly just as Edward walked in. I stopped mid chew my mouth opened to display the contents of half eaten cake to him.
"Chew and swallow Bella." He smiled tightly at me sitting on the chair next to my bed.
I followed his instructions; once the cake was gone I continued to stare at him in sorrow. I opened my mouth again to begin the speech I had been writing in my head for the last half hour. He held up his hand to silence me as he began to talk.
"Don't even start apologising Bella. I think I have a very… detailed understanding of what happened. I forgive you; the only thing is I think you need to forgive me for a few things now…" He cast his eyes down guiltily.
"What could you possibly have to be sorry for?"
"I raised my voice at you; I was angry, I swore. I'm so sorry. I won't ever get that mad again. I just … lost it, that mutt showed me a few things I never wanted him to see…" he wrapped his arms carefully around my fragile frame as held them there while he spoke. Contentment rolled through me as I felt a weight lifting. I knew we would be able to work though this.
"There also one other thing you ought to know." He began his voice interrupting my thoughts. "When I was gone just then, I was with Jacob… we were fighting… I'm so sorry." He mumbled into my shoulder; I could tell he was truly regretful. At that moment Emmett carried in an unconscious Jacob.
"It's not as bad as it looks. I did a sleep hold on him!" Emmett said happily holding him like a rag doll. I was in not mood to consider what condition he was in; anger flowed through me freely. Emmett shook his limp body roughly as Jacob woke with a start. It took him a few moments to realise what was happening before his eyes focused on me and Edward.
"Bella…" he began until I cut him off irritably.
"Don't even bother!" I yelled back as Edwards grip on me tightened. Jacob ran to my bed side a pleading look on his face.
"I'm sorry; I didn't think it all through!"
"I know what you were trying to do! You were trying to get Edward to hate me; you coward!" I shook in anger as my voice rose in volume. On a sudden impulse I grabbed Emmett cake and crushed hit in his face; just like a clown would in the circus. Everyone watched on in shock until Emmett started laughing.
"I knew that cake would come in handy!"
Wiping the cake from his face Jacob silently stood from where he was kneeling and went to the door.
"I'm still sorry Bella." He whispered leaving the room.
A.N- See what I said OUCH. I mean seriously what a waste of cake!
