Edward's POV

"Edward," Bella whispered.

I held up Jacob's body by the head and stared into his lifeless eyes.

I let go and his corpse fell on the floor.

"Bella I-", I stopped, I didn't know what to say to her.

She came up behind me and held my hand. "You didn't have to kill him Edward, you really didn't have to" her voice cracked and she began to cry more beautifully than ever.

"He was hurting you," I stammered. If I could cry, I would have just looking at her sadness.

She didn't answer me, but put her hand on her stinging cheek that Jacob had hit.

"He did hurt me. I always thought he was so gentle." Her beautiful teary face looked up at me. "You've never hurt me." I could barely understand her; her tears were almost choking her.

I pulled her into my arms and kissed her hair.

"I am sorry I killed him. But if he had stayed alive any longer he would have turned into a werewolf. I couldn't let that happen. But listen, the girl, missy, she is a werewolf too and she is going to come check on him. We need to leave, the rest of the pack will be out for revenge by tonight."

Bella took her hands off my waist, rubbed off some of her tears, and nodded.

I grabbed her wrist and we were in the Volvo in about 3 seconds.

I drove at 130 miles an hour.

Bella's POV

My cheek still burned, but it was only a reminder that Jacob was really dead.

Edward kept looking at me while he was driving.

Why did this have to happen to me?

Both Edward and Jacob had tried to make me choose sides, for my own safety. But I was selfish and insisted on getting both, and now Jacob was dead. I pushed him over the edge, and I pushed Edward over the edge.

Now the entire pack will mourn him, and my entire vampire family would have to battle the hatred.

The car stopped in front of the Cullen's house.

"They wont be home until Sunday" I stated the obvious, immediately feeling like a total moron.

"I'm going to call them, when they hear what I've done they will be back here in maybe an hour.

Edward then picked up his little silver cell phone, and talked so quit and speedily in it I could not discern the conversation.

He was on the phone for a long time, while I sat at his piano.

Eventually he hung up. "Alice had a vision, my family is going to La Push and will be back Sunday. The werewolves think it is partly your fault that Jacob is dead, you and I need to stay out of sight for a while, and I will go to fight them in a few days."

I decided to ignore the fact that Edward was going to fight. Of course he wouldn't.

"Where should we go tomorrow?" I asked.

Edward did his attractive crooked smiled and said, "The place most special to us. The meadow."

I couldn't help but smile a little, because I knew what we could do at the meadow.

Sneak Peek!!!:

"You're never going to forget him are you?" Edward growled.

"I'm not like you, Edward, I'm human." I said.

Edward put his lips to my neck; very gently I felt his teeth against my skin.

"In only one moment, I could make you like me…. Then eventually you would understand… you would have knowledge…. and you could forget that werewolf all together" he whispered in my ear.
