"Jacob what are you doing here? Don't you have school?"
"I need to speak with you." Snarling at Edward, "Alone!"
"That is not a good idea." Edward hissed.
"That's not for YOU to decide!" They scowled at one another.
"Stop IT! Both of you!" Their heads snapped and looked at me in shock do to my tone.
"Edward don't worry, I will be fine. I will met you at our table shortly."
"Bella…"
"Jacob is my friend, he won't hurt me." He was not happy with my decision to talk to Jacob alone, but before he left me he whispered, "I will be listening!" and then was gone.
"Thank you Bella. I am sorry to have heard about Charlie." We walked; well he pulled me toward one of the picnic tables on the right side of the cafeteria, near the parking lot. "Billy is just all torn up about this, first Harry and now Charlie. Bella, I wish there were something I could do."
"Thank you Jake, but there really isn't anything that anyone can do." Once again tears started forming, and threaten to spill over. I could tell that Jake was hurting as well.
"I know this is rotten timing, but Sam…" Of all times to bring this up it had to be now? I was feeling the angry build in me.
"Sam wants me to give you two warnings. First, that the red head got away from us, she has moved back into the blood…I mean Cullen's territory, so we are useless to protect you from her. Second…" He trailed off.
"And what is the second warning?" I fought to keep my voice low and steady.
"That if any of your friends break the treaty we will kill them."
"That is none of yours or Sam's business if Edward, or any of them, change me or not!" I was yelling now and the tears began to blur my vision. First shock then pain and finally furry entered Jake's eyes.
"Why would you even want to be a monster, that's SICK Bella, really sick!"
"If Edwards a monster then so are you!"
"I know that Bella, but I am still ALIVE!" He was yelling and trembling, but was able to get it under control. "Look Bella, I don't want you to end up like that, how could you…" Jake closed his eyes to try and remain calm.
"Well you and Edward are not that different then!"
"WHAT? We are nothing alike, he wants you DEAD!" He began trembling again.
"Your wrong, neither of you want me to become a vampire. Edward is willing to die and also put his family in danger to keep me human!" Jake was confused and shocked by what I was saying. I took a deep breath and began again. "While in Italy we were told that the only way I could leave there alive was for Edward to promise to change me one day. Well he wouldn't agree to that, but Alice some how convinced them that it would happen, so we were able to leave. Now when they come looking to see that they made good on that promise and haven't, not only will they kill me but Edward and Alice as well, which will end up being a huge fight between the two families. And yet he still is determined to keep me human, even with this on the horizon!"
"And what of the others? What is stopping them?"
"Edward is, he has warned all of them not to even dare think about turning me, he will know if they do. He is stubborn on this topic, and the others don't want to cause trouble with him."
"I don't believe you!" His voice was fierce and stern.
"And why not?" I asked in a colder tone.
"If that were true, then why are you living with those…those damn bloodsuckers?"
"I don't believe you Jacob Black. My father, Charlie is…is dead! I can NOT stay in that house now. Or did you forget that?" I was no longer able to hold the tears back. "The Cullen's are family to me and have taken me in when I had no where else to go. It's easier to deal with Charlie's…death around them. How dare you keep calling them names, if you are going to speak of them use their PROPER names! I…just cant…Jacob how could you!"
"Bella I am sorry, I just don't want you to be near them, they're dangerous!" There was guilt and regret in his voice. He tried to hug me but I pushed him away.
"I think you need to leave."
"Bella please, I am…"
"NO, just leave!" Then I stood and began to run back toward the cafeteria; then losing my footing I fell face first to the ground. I was too upset to even think about trying to catch myself. A feeling of pain entered my mind and then things began to spin around me.
"Oh my god, BELLA!" Was the last thing I heard.
