(Here is the next chapter. I'll probably even be able to write another one tonight. KEEP REVIEWING!!! xoxo-L)
Edward and mine's anniversary was in two days. And I thought about him every second of every day as I sat in our (cancel that, my) room all day. I thought about everything that happened... and finally found out who's fault it truly was that he left.
At first, I thought it was Edwards. He was about to hurt me! But, then I thought of the reason behind that. I, his true love, his wife, had threatened to end my life... I decided that, stupid as he was, he wouldn't have reacted that way if it hadn't been for me. So, for the longest time, I blamed myself. After weeks of me thinking about why I would ever have suggested such a stupid thing, I remembered why- Jacob.
Jacob still hadn't shown up, as he promised he would, and I tried not to think about him much. But when I realized that had it not been for Jacob Black, so I would not have thought about ending my life, I was suddenly filled with hate. I suddenly hated Jacob Black with a passion. It took all my willpower not to get up and run to La Push just to teach that sorry mutt a lesson.
But that didn't mean I didn't wriggle out of my cocoon and run downstairs to tell the rest of the Cullens about my sudden urge.
Well, not so much tell them. More scream it.
"I absolutely detest Jacob Black! I hate him! He has taken it a step too far! If I wasn't sitting around all day waiting for Edward to come back, I would go down to that reservation right now and-"
I felt a wave of calmness wash over me and I looked at Jasper thankfully.
(Here
"Bella... why don't you sit down. None of us have seen you in months, except for the one time you went hunting. Your eyes are black and there are shadows under your eyes that resemble what happened when you went without sleep for too long when you were human. Lets all go hunting, then we can talk about your sudden outburst after."
Esme had said this, and I agreed...not too willingly. However, I did feel the venom fill my mouth at the word 'hunt'. We all left silently, and after a few hours, the whole time nothing being said, we all returned and sat in the main room again.
"Now. No one in this family particularly likes any of the werewolves, but no one seems to hate them as much as you do at this very moment. Please, explain to us your thoughts...minus the yelling this time, please." I couldn't help but suppress a grin as Carlisle said this, but I quickly covered it up and carried on with my story, explaining everything about what Jacob had done that eventually caused Edward to leave.
Their expressions were a mixture of anger and amusement as Rosalie, to my surprise, spoke.
"Ok... so it's kind of a long shot. Jacob reminded us the rules of the treaty we formed many years ago, everyone got upset, you decide you want to kill yourself. Then Edward acts completely unreasonably and God -and apparently Alice as well- knows what could have happened if they didn't save you in time. This is, much as I hate to admit it, anything but Jacob's fault. I don't see how you don't understand this, Bella!" She was upset.
"Let's put it this way, Bella," Jasper said as he walked toward me. "Jacob was... the firewood. You were the spark. You caused a tiny little flame. Edward, however, was the gasoline, turning the fire wild and out of control.
"Now, you can't blame the firewood for the fire. The spark made everyone a little excited, but the tiny flame probably would have gone out by itself after a short time. The gasoline, however, was extremely unnecessary and uncalled for. There was no reason to pour it all over the fire and burn everything to the ground."
Ugh. How was it, that every time I thought I would win an argument, I somehow ended up losing? I was so stupid. I thought I finally came to a conclusion, that is was Jacob's fault, but Jasper's little 'fire' analogy completely proved me wrong. Again.
"Bella, of course you're not going to get mad at Edward. You're in love with him, though it's getting harder and harder to understand why. So you try to blame everyone but him, though it is completely and utterly his fault. He is the only one responsible for his actions." Alice had a pleading expression in her eyes as she took my hand.
"You keep saying that! You all keep saying that!" I exclaimed.
"That's because you're not getting it!" she retorted. "No one did anything wrong, except for that sick, insufferable monster Edward!"
I flinched as she said the last few words. "Edward is not a monster" I snarled, my face hurting from the expression on it.
"You think that, don't you Bella!" Alice was suddenly screaming. "Well, that's because you didn't see my vision. Why do you think I haven't told anyone? Why do you think I ran up into my room? Because I saw you getting a bad talking to from him? I didn't even tell Carlisle. I just told him we needed to get outside. I don't even want to think about what I saw! Believe me, if you knew, even if you had the slightest idea of what Edward was thinking of doing to you-" her voice broke.
She ran back upstairs, with Jasper behind her. Rosalie was perched on Emmett's knee, shaking for some reason. Then I realized it was because Emmett was growling, his body quavering.
"I'm going to leave," he said, "before I say something I might regret. Come on, Rose." And with that, him and Rosalie had disappeared upstairs as well.
Now it was just Carlisle, Esme and I in the room. We sat in silence for a long while before a growl started in Carlisle's chest. As soon as I smelled who was coming closer to the front door, it turned into a full fledged roar.
