What??
"Bella? Sweetheart?" Edwards sweet, sweet voice sounded, a little panicked with a slight hint of frustration.
"Hmmm," I answered as best I could. Why did the back of my head hurt so horribly? It must've all been a dream, Thank goodness, I thought to myself, Jacob showing up would've made things so complicated.
Edward spoke again, "Oh thank heaven," he whispered. He kissed my cheek, "You're luck this time, Dog," he said under his breath clearly not talking to me this time.
"No," I murmured, slowly opening my eyes.
"Shh, its ok honey," Edward whispered.
"Hey Bella! Long time, no see huh?" Jacob said.
It took me a minute to answer, "Jacob, how could you do that to Billy?!" I said as sternly as my partial incoherency would let me. I started to sit up, Edward helped me.
"I know. I'll talk to him later, right now I'm here to talk to you," Jacob said serious now.
"MmmHmm," I mumbled not really believing that he would go back and talk to Billy, "Wait, where's Charlie?" "Don't worry Bella, he's in the kitchen on the phone with Billy," came the sweet high pitched voice from the other side of the room, Alice.
"Okay. Wait, what happened?" I asked rubbing the back of my head.
"You fainted," Edward told me with a smile pulling up on the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, well it was a bit of a shock," I looked over at Jacob. "Okay, what do you need?" I asked slightly curious now.
"Cant I talk to you... Ya know... Alone," he said gesturing towards Edward and Alice.
Edward squeezed my hand, he looked up at me with worry in his eyes. Still holding Edwards gaze I answered Jacob.
"No," I looked back at Jacob, "Edward and Alice stay," I felt Edward sigh in relief.
Jacob glared at Edward, "Fine, have it your way." Just then Charlie came back into the room.
"Okay, I told Billy you'd go see him once you were thru here," Charlie said to Jacob.
"Okay, sounds good," Jacob cleared his throat, "Charlie, do you think... Maybe we could have a few minutes?" "Oh, yeah... Of cour--," I cut him off.
"No, that's okay you can stay Dad," I said still looking at Jacob. He let out a long sigh, I felt kind of bad but I knew he and Edward couldn't get into a fight if Charlie was sitting here with us.
"Okay," Charlie said, then went and sat on the floor sort of in front of the chair. (where Alice now sat)
"Alright, go ahead Jacob," I said.
He sighed again, " 'Kay," he practically whispered. Edward who had been kneeling in front of the couch (facing me) shifted so he was now sitting beside me.
Jacob started pacing, and talking just to me, almost as if no one else was in the room.
"Okay, Bella... I know you're marrying him in just a couple of weeks but YOU CANT!!" He yelled
I couldn't believe he just said that, with everyone (especially Charlie) still in the room! Now I know I should've let him have his way and let everyone leave. I still couldn't respond, neither could anyone. He continued, only he moved now he was sitting on the other side of me. I stared at him in partial shock, however, I knew this was going to happen.
"You cant marry him, you have to marry me!" "MARRY YOU?!?!" I yelled. By this time I was standing up, Jacob followed shortly after.
"How can you do this Jacob?? How can you just walk in here and tell me something like that??" I screamed.
"Bells I know you don't want this just as much as me!" Jacob argued.
"What the hell are you talking about?? I made my choice a long time ago!!" Oh crap, I thought, I had started crying. (angry tears)
"I know you love me more than that stupid ---" "NOW THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Charlie boomed, as he shot up onto his feet, "You will not come into my home and insult my family and soon to be family." Charlie sounded and looked so angry he was going to explode. I don't blame him.
Jacob ignored him, "You cant Bella please," he seemed like he was begging.
"Why Jacob? Tell me why I cant marry Edward?!" I screamed, suddenly I felt his icy, flawless hand in mine.
"Because," he hesitated, "because I love you." "Oh please Jacob! You just hate it when I'm happy don't you?" I accused.
"NO that's not it at all!" He yelled. -Then a shiver pulsed thru his body. Not good.
I looked down at my feet and folded my arms across my chest, "I think its time for you to leave Jacob," surprisingly it didn't hurt to say this, I thought it might.
He stared at me, almost in horror.
"NOW, Jacob!" Charlie said pointing to the door.
Jacob glared at me, "Goodbye Bella," he said in a harsh tone. He turned and left.
Edward held me very close. Alice jumped out of her seat and ran over to us and hugged me. She didn't speak, she didn't have to. Charlie was the first to say something.
"I'm so sorry that happened Bella, Edward, and I'm sorry you had to see that Alice." "It wasn't your fault Charlie," Alice's angelic voice sang.
"I know but it wasn't any of yours either," Charlie answered.
"I cant believe he actually did that!" I was still crying, of course, though I was trying hard to stop, remembering that promise I made myself a long time ago, to, never make Edward see me shed another tear for Jacob Black. I'd already broken it twice, I don't intend to break it ever again.
"Its all over now," Edward whispered in my ear.
"I know ," I said wiping my eyes with my shirt sleeve. "So should we go over some plans?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Are you sure?" Edward asked, clearly shocked.
"Sure, why shouldn't we?" I asked really hoping every one would understand it was a rhetorical question.
Charlie smiled at me. Alice beamed and Edward, looked very confused but shook it off quickly. We all (Except Charlie) went in and sat down at the kitchen table.
------
Alice had decided that we go over the wedding cakes, she brought pictures so we could choose.
"Oh wow. This ones beautiful," I said. I looked at Alice, "how much?" "Oh well, that ones not very expensive at all," she didn't look at me.
"Alice, how much?" I asked again.
"It doesn't matter, Esme said she wanted to buy the cake, I showed her all these photos and prices and she said she's fine with whatever you want," she looked at me this time. Why is it so damn hard to argue with Alice??
"Alice, I don't want this wedding to cost a million dollars!" "Oh Bella, don't worry I'll keep it slightly under a million," she teased.
"Alright," I smiled, "I like this one." I pointed to my favorite one. It was a three layer, with white frosting and tiny colored dots (of whatever you wanted) on it. On the top, rather than the traditional Bride and Groom, were the husband and wife's initials in calligraphy letters.
"Okay, Perfect! But I also need to know your colors," Alice said, looking at me with raised eyebrows.
"Colors?" I asked.
Alice sighed, "Colors, ya know for your flowers and your accent pieces on the tables and the dots on your cake. So what are your colors?" "Um... Well how many do I need to pick?" I asked feeling a little dumb.
"Normally, there's about 2-3," she responded.
"Okay... Well I like blue and red." She looked at me like she was going to puke. Edward started laughing.
"Bella," she whined, "you have to pick contrasting colors." "Oh. Then how about, Navy blue and white?" "Much better!" Alice sighed in relief.
Edward was still laughing but not as hard as a few seconds ago, he leaned over and kissed my cheek.
"I love Navy blue," He smiled my favorite crooked smile. I returned the smile. I looked up into his eyes, there was no warm butterscotch color, they were a deep black.
I leaned onto his shoulder, "You need to hunt," I whispered.
He chuckled, "How on earth am I supposed to leave you after what just happened today?" "Edward, I don't want you to suffer," I said looking back into his eyes.
"I wont be suffering if I'm with you." "Oh Edward c'mon! I know you need to go hunting soon, You haven't gone in forever!" Alice chimed in. "I'll even stay with Bella tonight. In fact if it would make you feel better, I'm sure Charlie would let her stay at our house." I looked back to him with pleading eyes. He looked down at our hands as I intertwined our fingers.
Edward exhaled while speaking, "Okay." Alice squealed in excitement, "Charlie?" She called. Within seconds Charlie was there.
"Yeah? Did you guys need something?" He asked.
"Yeah, um, Edward and Carlisle are going camping this weekend. They're leaving this afternoon and coming back Monday morning so, Esme and I were wondering if Bella could stay over at our place?" "Yeah, sure, I mean if you want to Bells," he looked at me.
"Yeah I would, I would really like that."
When we were thru looking at cakes and things, Alice and I went upstairs to get my things. When we came downstairs, Charlie and Edward were watching a football game on T.V. Edward got up and met us at the bottom of the stairs. He took my back-pack from me, we all said goodbye to Charlie and left.
When we pulled up to the house Edward asked Alice if he and I could have a minute to ourselves, she agreed and took my things and went into the house.
"You're not being held hostage this time," He stated, "You can go back to Charlie's house if you want." "I know, but maybe I want to have a girls night... This time," I flashed him a smile. He smiled back, and leaned in and kissed me. It wasn't one of his careful kisses, it had a very passionate edge to it. Once he pulled away (giving me a chance to breathe) he moved to my neck, giving me goose-bumps all down my spine. However, this kiss got me thinking (which was very hard to do while Edward was dazzling me.) sudden fear shot thru me making me rigid, Edward froze on my neck.
"Is everything alright?" He whispered.
"You're coming back, aren't you?" I whispered back. He moved from my neck, now looking at me with a very puzzled look on his face, "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" "I don't know, you're just acting so..." I was searching for the right word, "Forward?" His sudden laughter shocked me. I stared at him confused. "Well you're not the only one who likes to break the rules." He smiled. I sighed, thoroughly relived.
He got out of the car and flashed to the other side to open my door. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and Alice walked out of the house, we walked over to them. Each one of the girls hugged their man.
"We'll probably be back early tomorrow morning okay?" "I thought Alice said you weren't coming back till Monday," I said.
"Again, you're not the only one who likes to break the rules," He chuckled.
"Okay," I said standing on my tip-toes to kiss him. "I'll miss you," I whispered. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I miss you already," He whispered in my ear, and then they were gone.
