Chapter 2: Jacob's Return

"Edward, whatever you do, don't hurt him!" I tried to look fierce, but all that did was make him laugh. I blushed.

"Bella, love, he hurt you. You don't know how badly I want to rip his throat out" I gave him a horrified look, "But, I promise I won't." I looked into his eyes and saw so many emotions- love, pain, anger, concern, but the one that mattered most right now was defeat.

I cuddled against him and he half-smiled.

"Bella! I am so sor..."Jacob burst into my room and I glared at him. I heard Edward's chest growl, but he sat there, with his cold hands around my waist, protectively.

"Bella," Jacob began again. "I am so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! I thought you were dead and... and I wanted to hurt him!"

"JACOB!! How could you even... Even if I was dead, you have NO right to put ONE finger on Edward!" I shouted.

"Fine! I give up, I can tell that this is a battle I cannot win. Enjoy the rest of your life with that bloodsucker!" Tears formed in his eyes and mine.

"No, Jake... Don't leave. I... I'm sorry..."

"WHAT!?! You dog, how could you even think that?" Edward's soft voice screamed across the room and my heart skipped a beat. I had not only never heard him yell, but I also forgot that he was there.

I turned around. "What? What was he thinking?" I asked softly, but regretted it the second I knew.

"He thinks he loves you more than I do. And he wants you to leave me. Then he wants to kill me and, you know... do it with you. And he has some VERY disturbing pictures popping into his head. For example, what your child might look like." That last comment made me shake, and I knew from his tone, that Edward was hurt, angry, and really wanted to hurt Jake right now.

I leaned over and kissed his cheek. For a second, his black eyes turned topaz again, and filled with love. Love for me! And I knew what he wanted to do, but Jake had to interrupt.

"Well Bella, I do love you, but I see that you don't care, so I think I'll just leave now."

I groaned and stepped over to him. "Jake, I don't want you to leave, well, at this moment I do, but not permanently. I love you, but only as a friend. Why do you want to take my best friend away from me?"

"Look, I have to go. Sam says another bloodsucker is near." I remembered the werewolves ability to communicate through thoughts.

I hugged him hard, but he pushed me away without a problem.

"Goodbye Bella. I'll always love you!" then he was gone.

I began to cry and Edward walked over to me. I felt him not breathing, so I excused myself and took a shower.

I made it quick, and when I got back to my room, I was wearing a towel. Edward was on my rocking chair. I ran over to him, sat on his lap and closed my eyes.

One of his hands was around my waist, while the other was playing with my wet hair. I looked up and Jacob escaped my mind for a while.

Edward's look was back to the lovey-dovey intimate stare. My thoughts drifted back to my daydreams. I wanted mo first time to be special, and Edward was special.

No, he was more than special.

I leaned in and looked into his eyes. They were so... so liquid-y and deep in thought. He looked down at me and flinched. I was so surprised by his actions, that I fell off his lap and on my butt.

"Ow! What's wrong?" I questioned, really annoyed.

"Sorry, it's just that you... have been permanently marked." He looked so hurt and I felt awful.

I just remembered that I haven't looked in the mirror yet. I stood up, rubbed my butt, which really hurt, while Edward softly chuckled and walked over to the mirror.

I looked like Emily, only far worse. I had three scratches. One began on my cheek, and the other near my throat. The last didn't catch my attention at first.

I only saw it when my towel started to slip. I caught it before it fell and Edward saw me naked, but then I nearly dropped it again.

The last scar began at my heart!

I gasped and whispered with horror, "Oh no! Jacob... what have you DONE?"
