SO WHAT!
My fingers stung the second my hand connected with his face. He probably wouldn't have even noticed that I had hit him at all if the sound didn't echo off the walls, making it sound harder than it actually was.
Rosalie, Alice and Esme were looking at me, wide eyed with there jaws hanging open.
"Ow! What was that for Bella?!"
"Think about it Jacob, what did you promise me?"
I was now breathing heavily, although my breathing was becoming more and more ragged with every breath. It was becoming more and more difficult to control myself.
"Oh, that…um…"
"Oh just shut up Jake! Unless you're trying to provoke me to catch you in your other form, I swear to God Jake, I WILL take your paws as a trophy."
Jake winced at my comment, and I couldn't tell if it was the thought of me taking his hands away from him, or the yelling, I wasn't concerned with either of them right now.
"You were supposed to be there Jake! You were my best man, and what do you do? You don't even show up! You forgot about me. You should have been there for me!"
People were staring at us now, and whispering to each other about the commotion that was happening in the middle of the mall. But no one tried to stop my outburst. Rose had a smug look on her face, as I screamed at Jacob. Now tears streamed steadily down my face.
"The only thing I asked you to do for me was show to up at my wedding! You couldn't even do that Jake!"
I was so mad at him. I could feel myself shaking, my fists were balled up and I had them clamped at my sides. My lip was trembling, and my nostrils were flaring as I took deep ragged breaths, trying to control myself. I couldn't remember having been this mad in all my life.
"So what? I didn't show! So what?! I can't be your best friend anymore?! So what?! I'd rather be away from you than have to see you become one of THEM?! So what! You're not gonna be the same Bella at all! I care too much to let myself let go of you, and to think of you as being dead is a much better thing to then to let myself care for you anymore Bella!"
"SO WHAT Jake! You think I'm going to let you think I'm dead?!IF Ihave to I will be at your door every friggin' day just to remind you Jacob!"
"Whether or not you like it, Jake, I am a Cullen now, and you are my best friend, so just deal with it! I'm not going anywhere Jake!"
Gritting my teeth, I turned to Rosalie, still trying to control myself from hitting him again, and from breaking my wrist again.
I pulled my hand back, still balled up in a fist, and unable to control my anger any longer, I let my fist collide with the side of his face. He took a step back, and right into a rack of clothing, knocking it over. At the same time, a definite crack could be heard from my hand.
"Ah, crap!"
Jake got up from the floor, after returning the clothing back to its rack, looking more concerned for me and my, more then likely, broken hand and arm. Although, I couldn't feel anything yet, it must have been the adrenaline that was still flowing heavily through my veins. Jake took a step towards me.
"Jake just…don't, you've done enough!"
My arm was already starting to turn a very light shade of blue, and the pain started to come slowly in my wrist and my mid forearm. I knew in a few minutes it would be extremely painful.
"Alice, are we done? I'm ready to go home, and well, it looks like I have a broken arm," I winced as I moved only slightly.
"We better get you to Carlisle then."
Rose turned to Jake, hissing, "Nice going DOG, now we'll never be able to take her out."
Jake just growled at Rose, not even trying to be nice.
"Enough, let's go Rosalie," Alice snapped at her. Esme just shook her head at Jake in disappointment.
We managed to make it to the car before I started feeling light-headed from the pain emanating from my arm.
I sat in the passenger seat of the car while they put the bags in the trunk, leaving me to pass in and out of consciousness. When I finally came to, I was on mine and Edward's bed at home, my arm and hand was already in a cast and I felt fuzzy from a painkiller.
"She did what??!!!"
"Are you serious Rose?! She actually punched the damn wolf?!"
"Just wait until I get my hands on him," Edward let out a low throaty growl.
I opened my eyes slightly, my arm was pounding, and my vision was slightly blurry. I couldn't see much past the bed at this moment, I could hear Edward's laugh. He was more then likely having another one of his silent conversations with Alice, as Alice replayed the scene for him in her mind.
"That's my girl, threatening to cut off a wolf's paws."
Both Emmett's booming laugh and Edward's chuckle echoed through the hallway. The pounding of my head and the loud voices in the hall were a little much to bear, I groaned slightly.
"Ah you're awake Bella, how do you feel?"
"Fuzzy and icky," I said to Carlisle, as my vision came back into focus. The voices in the hall seemed to go from quiet to loud in a heartbeat.
"Oh yes, that's completely normal. Although I wonder, why would you pick a fight with a werewolf?"
"You have quite an arm there, Bella. We had to reset three bones in your hand and two in your arm," Jasper spoke this time, setting himself lightly on the edge of the bed and offering his hand to help me up. I took it with my good hand as Carlisle put a fluffy pillow behind me.
"Let me go and get Edw-" Carlisle was cut short as Alice, Edward, Esme, Emmett and Rosalie came into the room.
Emmett and Rosalie had very proud smiles on their faces, although Emmett's for completely different reason than Rosalie's.
Edward leaned down and kissed me gently, smiling almost with pride as he took a seat on the bed next to me.
"Only you Bella, would marry a vampire and pick a fight with a wolf," he chuckled,
Alice and Esme were looking at me with their eyes full of concern as I sat there on the bed, my arm wrapped in what felt like fifty pound cinder block. I tried to lift my arm in the plaster cast, only managing a few inches before my arm gave out, thumping lightly back to the bed.
"Looks like I'm going to need a sling for this if we plan on going…wait what time is it?"
"10 after 6, sweetheart" Esme chimed happily.
"Oh no." I shot up out of the bed, holding my arm close to my body as I darted around the room looking for a suitcase and my newly acquired clothing.
Everyone was looking at me like I'd lost my mind or I finally snapped from all this supernatural stuff.
I looked back at them, staring at me. Their faces were full of bewildered looks. I looked to Alice, wondering why she and Jasper were still here, and not already in-line at the airport. Why weren't Edward and I there either?
"Why aren't you and Jasper at the airport already?" I said frantically to Alice as I continued looking for my suitcase and clothing.
"Um…Bella we rescheduled our flight, for early in the morning."
I just stared at Alice, dumbfounded. I still couldn't think properly. The only thing I could manage to get out was an "oh".
Edward came over to me, putting his hand around my waist, and carful not to move my arm too much, walked me slowly back to the bed. Edward laid me gently back against the pillow, as he pulled another one over to prop my arm on.
Alice slipped out of the room quietly, leaving Rosalie sulking in the corner of the room. Emmett's booming laughter echoed through the room as he laughed at both of us; me cause I broke my arm picking a fight with Jacob and also because Rosalie didn't get her own way with Jacob. Or at least that was what I could tell from her facial expression.
"Bella, why don't we take a look at your arm before Edward has a panic attack?" Carlisle was looking over me once more when my stomach gave a very loud growl making everyone know that I was past due for some food. Alice came into the room carrying a deep teal shawl.
Carlisle gave me the okay, saying I was completely fine but that I would have to be in this damn cast for 8-10 weeks. Alice folded the shawl in half and tied it behind my neck. Then she put my arm in the sling. I could do things more easily now, I smiled gingerly her. "Thanks."
"So what's for dinner?" I asked Edward as I rubbed my stomach hungrily with my good hand.
"What would you like?"
"Hmm…How about some pasta with a cream sauce?" I asked almost excitedly.
"How about fettuccini alfredo?"
"Sounds good to me," I said happily
I placed a kiss on my love's lips as I leaned back into the pillow. Edward put on a CD for me to listen to before he went downstairs to cook me dinner; the rest of the family had went out hunting. Edward had bought the new CD for me a few days before we got married. It was Pink. The first song was called 'So What', which was more than suiting for today's events I thought as I drifted slowly to sleep.
