Chapter 11 - Heartbreak

BPOV (from argument with Jacob) -
I was standing at the door with Jacob arguing with him about our date tonight. It just figures that the first night we were going to go on a romantic dinner date, his stupid car refuses to work. Sometimes, with Jacob there were a lot of let downs. Most of the time he wasn't even able to spend time with me. Only because he was always so busy with his other friends. I know I sounded like a whiney, clingy girlfriend, but Jacob does ignore the whole 'hanging out' thing.
"Seriously Jake? You can't do anything about it?" I sounded like I was begging, but I didn't care. I wanted to spend time with my boyfriend.
"I'm sorry Bells, but I can't do anything about it!" He tossed back.
"UGH! This sucks! Alice and Jasper are gone and I doubt Rose and Emmett will let us borrow their cars. And I don't want to ask them because Emmett's probably still acting like Chuck Bass and having sex with Rose." I had to say, Emmett coming down the stairs dressed as Chuck Bass was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
"Who's Chu-" Jacob started saying, but I was too pissed off to even explain to him.
"It doesn't matter! I guess we're stuck here for the night." I turned around, don't you dare cry in front of him again, Bella. I told myself. I wasn't going to crack under Jacob again. When I turned around I saw him. He was standing at the bottom of the stair case with the most concerned look on his face. Not to mention he looked fan-freaking-tastic. I was absolutely mortified that he was watching me cry again. How much of that had he even seen? "Sorry, Edward. I didn't know you were still here." I mumbled. He took a few steps forward. This was a completely different Edward from the shower. Even now he still made me weak in the knees. Jacob, I thought.
"Uh, it's okay. I have a date with Katie tonight." He replied with a look of triumph on his face. Figures. I knew he would find someone once he got here, I mean how could he not? He's the most beautiful guy in the world and I'm just Bella. Bella stuck with Jacob Black. Not Edward Cullen.
I was in my mind thinking, as I ignored Jacob congratulate Edward. It wasn't like Jake meant it or anything, he must know I have a thing for Edward because whenever I bring him up, he'd always start snarling about him. God, he can be such a jerk. He always gets too protective of me and it gets annoying, like he always has to touch me if he's around me and it's unbearable. I wasn't paying attention to anything Jacob was saying until I heard him mention if him and I could stay for Edward's date with Katie, like a double date. Oh yeah, that'd be freaking fantastic. Me in the same room with my boyfriend, the guy I lusted after and his potential girlfriend. Fun. By the looks of it on Edward's face he didn't even want us there. So I cut in.
"No Jake. We don't want to intrude on Edward's date with Katie. That's rude." I said. "Maybe we could go for a walk or something." Edward's face did a 180 and turned into panic, like he didn't want me to go with Jacob or something.
"No!" He said, just a little too loud. I wonder if Jacob caught it. Oh hell, like I care. I wanted to stay here with Edward. "I mean you guys can stay here with me and Katie. I don't think she'd mind."
"YEAH! Me and Bella would love to stay here with you and Katie." Yep, there he goes again always talking for me. I mouthed a 'thank you' to Edward as he nodded at me. Then we heard the doorbell ring.
Edward jumped up as he went to answer it. He swung it open and there was Katie, and she looked good. God, no wonder why Edward liked her. "Katie you look great. I hope you don't mind if Bella and Jacob stay with us." He said.
"That's fine!" She said a little bit too excitedly. What is up with this girl? She walked past Edward, ignored me and ran up to Jacob. As she was lightly touching his arm I heard her say, "Jake, I miss seeing you every day." With a little too much double meaning.
"Me too Katie," Jacob replied. "We had some good times in English." What the hell is going on here? Jacob is MY boyfriend. That skank is supposed to be with Edward. She was giggling like a maniac as she nodded. Something's up. I turned to Edward and saw him thinking the same thing, and like he read my mind, he spoke.
"I think we should start watching the movie." He suggested smoothly, as he pried Katie off of Jacob. The three of us sat down on the couch as Edward grabbed the DVD case.
"Edward! Flip to the fourth page and get that one." I knew the Cullen's DVD collection by heart, only because Alice liked to kidnap me for girl-nights. I knew exactly which one I wanted. It was "Some Kind of Wonderful". I loved this movie. It was about a guy named Keith and his friend Watts. Keith had always liked the popular girl, Amanda Jones, and when he asked her our she said yes. So Watts volunteers to drive him and Amanda around, although she loves him. Finally at the end of the movie, Keith realizes that Watts likes him. It was a sweet movie, although I could relate to it.
Edward popped it in the DVD player and as it started to play, he said, "Good choice Bella."

Half way through the movie Edward stood up abruptly and said he wanted to make popcorn. "Bella, will you come help me find it?" He asked, although it was a little odd. The Cullen house was the most organized house ever. You could find anything here.
But Jacob's meaty hand kept trying to grope me, so I decided I needed to get away from him as I agreed to help Edward.
I grabbed the popcorn box out and handed Edward a pack of popcorn as he started talking to me. "Bella, look I don't know you all that well but I think something is going on with Jacob and Katie. I saw them playing with each other's fingers while we were sitting on the couch." He said. I was in utter shock. At first I thought I was going to cry, but then I thought about it. I know something's was going on with Jacob and Katie earlier today but I don't think he'd hurt me again. He promised he'd make it up from last time. Edward has to be wrong. He's just jealous because his girlfriend is a whore and is spending more time with Jacob then with him.
"You're right Edward. I hardly know you. I know that Jacob wouldn't do that to me. You're wrong." I sneered at him. The more times I said it in my head the more I believed it. Edward's a jerk and Jacob's a sweetheart.
I forced a bowl at him as he snatched it from my hand and we both made our way back into the living room, side by side. Edward must have felt bad because he was looking at his feet. I looked away from Edward, and I saw it. I saw them. Jacob kissing Katie. I nudged Edward urgently as I felt myself going to throw up. He looked up as his eyes grew wide and looked over at Jacob. His jaw was set tight and this eyes were hard. Like he wanted to kill Jacob.
"I think I'm going to be sick." I announced as I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. I heard someone yelling downstairs, but I couldn't make out the voice, chose not to. I reached the bottom of the stairs and saw Edward's face, which was red from yelling. He was yelling at Jacob, sticking up for me.
"No not Katie. I could give a shit about her. But what the fuck are you doing to Bella? You're a douche bag Jacob and you don't deserve her. You're a pathetic prick you know that? She really liked you and all you're doing is being a dick back to her. Get out of this house right now." Jacob gave him a look as Katie tried talking to him, but he completely shut her up.
"Tell Bella I'll call her." Jacob said as he grabbed his jacket. I griped the railing of the stairs and thought, over my dead body. Apparently Edward thought the same thing as he yelled at Jake more and then punched him an threw him out of the house. He ran a hand through his hair as he turned around and saw me. His eyes grew huge and his mouth slightly hung open. I didn't realize I was bawling until that moment.
Rosalie and Emmett came barreling down the stairs, apparently they heard the fight too. Rose took one look at me and helped me up the stairs. "Shhh, Bella it will be okay. I'm here now." She brought me to Alice's room and sat me down on the bed. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked warmly.
"No." I replied. "I want to take a shower. And go to bed." I said in monotone. Rose understood as she got up quietly and closed the door. I stood up and walked over to the huge bathroom and ran the hot water. I almost tripped as I stepped over the tub and let the water pelt my skin.
I couldn't feel how hot the water was. I couldn't feel myself standing. I couldn't hear myself think. But I could feel the pain rising in my chest.
I turned off the water and slowly put on my warmest pair of pajamas and crawled into bed.
I cried myself to sleep.
