Disclamer:
Paul: Midnight moon does not own anything but the characters she may or may not create. Everything else belongs to the original writer of the twilight stories.
Me : I also own you ;)
Chapter 6: unfaithful
His voice sent chills down my spine. Every nerve in my body reacting in ways that my mind had forgotten. The all too familiar tug on my chest, threatening to break me open at the seams. The world around me seemed to slow as if his voice alone controlled time. Emotions trying to resurface from the depths at which they were buried.
I could hear my name being called but my brain wouldn't register the words needed for my voice to function.
"E-dward" my voice trembled his name.
"Bella love! I'm so glad that you called. I can finally get you away from that mangy mu-"I cut him off abruptly.
"Stop Edward! I didn't call you so I could listen on about how much you hate the Quileute pack" I paused to take a breath.
"I called because we need your help, I got Alice's message. And we all need to talk" the pack was watching me with careful eyes. The tension in the air was so thick you could feel it wrap around your skin.
"Shall we meet at the treaty line tonight love?" Edward asked as Jacob growled. I looked at the pack for conformation, their heads nodding simultaneously.
"Tonight will be fine, and Edward?"
"Yes my love" he replied quickly
"Stop calling me love, I'm not yours anymore" I said softly as I ended the call, numerous growls emitting from the men in the room.
The feeling in the room was something that I couldn't describe. All the fears that we have just awakening as things get closer to coming together. We had all been happy for so long, so free from all the troubles of the mystical world around us. As if for once in our unordinary lives we were actually normal. Like danger wasn't actually lingering directly around the corner.
Jacob was staring at me as if I would break any minute, like a fine china doll made of porcelain. I couldn't blame him though, not this time, not as I felt myself crack under the weight of the world that surrounded me. Not as I felt the earth shift from under my feet only to leave me falling on my face.
He had the right idea to be worried about me, so fragile and weak. Never able to handle the truth even If I discovered it myself. But this time I would prove them wrong, I would should them that I could handle myself. No longer would I be Bella the "Fragile little human".
The rest of the day passed in silence. Everyone was too wrapped up in their own thoughts for words to be spoken out loud. Our reality was coming crashing down around us. And not one of us knew how to stop it. Many of the pack members had left to spend their time with their loved ones. Not knowing how much danger we may actually be in.
Jacob sat beside me, the couch moving with the force of his body's vibrations. I laid my hand on his thigh and his shaking came to a stop. Calming his nerves if only momentarily.
"Bella, I don't want you to come" Jacob whispered.
I could feel his body tense, waiting for the reaction I knew he was sure would come. Taking a deep breath I turn so see his face laced with worry, concern, and love.
"May I ask why not" I questioned With nothing but clarity in my voice as I locked my eyes with his.
"I just, I feel like it's not safe"
"Not safe!" I yelled as my anger started to rise.
"That's complete bullshit and you know it, I've slept in the same house as the Cullen's, and I'm still here so what's the real issue Jacob, what are you not telling me?
Jacob let out a sigh of frustration, cracking his neck as if the sound itself relieved his stress. My eyes watched his every move; waiting for a response I felt would never come. He was procrastinating, bowing his head between his knees as if he could hide from the confrontation.
"Look, Bella I just, I'm worried—I'm worried that when you see Edward and his family you're going to go running back into their arms, I feel that you're going to see his face and all these emotions are going to coming running back, and I'm not prepared for that"
"Jacob I love you, and I think it's about time that you realized that you're the one I want, I don't need him anymore. You're my sun and I'm going to that meeting, that's final" I said as I got up and walked into the room I had become so familiar with. My comfort place.
Time seemed to move so slow as I laid in Jacobs bed staring at the walls, the sun began to set and the breeze from the window was cool on my skin.
"Bella?"
I heard Jacobs voice call me from the front of the little red house, untangling the sheets from my feet I made my way to Jacob
tension still in the air from our conversation.
"Its time to go Bells" Jacob said as he tired his shirt around his ankle. Walking out of the house my hairs rose from the cool night air. Jacob slid behind the brush just in front to the woods and out emerged a giant rusket wolf. Jacobs's wolf kneeled before me so I could crawl on his back. I laced my hands into his soft fur, gripping tight enough to hold on so I wouldn't fall. I rubbed right behind his ear, and the woods around me became a blur of dark greens and browns.
