Chapter 3
"See? Life sucks. Then you die. I always knew it." – Jacob
Bella has been moping for days now. I know she's upset over that bloodsucker but come on. He was weird. He smelled bad too.
And even though he's gone I can still smell it, because the bloodsucker's sister Alice is here all the time, at Bella's house, sleeping on the couch. Well, not sleeping, but pretending to.
I think Charlie is just trying to stay out of this, he already knows what's going to happen. He said so himself. Bella's gonna be sad about this and mope around for ages. She'll never go out and work hard at school. Then lose all her friends because she never talks to them or goes out.
While I raided the kitchen for food Alice was telling Bella that things happen and maybe it wasn't meant to be. But Bella wasn't even listening. I don't think she was anyway.
She wasn't even crying. She just curled up into a ball as soon as I put her on the sofa.
Since Alice was there and Blondie had just turned up I decided to go home and get some rest.
Halfway down to La Push, I ran into Quil and Embry. I seriously hoped they hadn't heard my thoughts while they were fighting.
"We heard" Embry assured. "We're sorry"
Dammit! They did hear me!
"Yeah, tell Bella we're sorry" Quil added.
"Ok, but later. The bloodsuckers are surrounding her right now."
As we ran to my place I realized that I may just have a chance with Bella now. I had to try at least!
The next day, I ran as fast as I could to Bella's and walked right in. Then I practically choked on the leeches' stench. They were all there. Blondie, Alice, the big guy...Emma or something... the guy who toys with people's emotions, Dr Carlisle, and the mother...Esme, is it? Anyway, they were all there. I think there were a few I didn't know. Like from Alaska or Canada or something. But I had to get out of there or I would choke.
I went back later on and they were gone thankfully, probably to leech on someone. But Bella was still lying on the sofa, expressionless.
"Bella, what the hell is your problem? It's not like you were married or anything! Get over him! He was just a dumb bloodsucker!"
The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. Oops.
Bella just looked at me with utter hatred and disgust on her face and it was at that moment in time that I wished I could eat myself. Seriously.
"Bella I'm sorry I didn't mean that!"
"What did you mean then Jake? What else could you have possibly meant from 'get over him, he just a dumb bloodsucker'? Huh? He wasn't just a 'dumb' bloodsucker. He was mine... I loved him. I needed him Jake..." Bella was nearly in tears at this point so I went over and gave her a hug, "I needed him" she mumbled into my chest.
"I know Bella. I'm sorry."
"No. No you're not! Get off me Jake!" She said loudly, pulling away from me, "I HATE you. How could you say that?! He was my soul-mate and I deserve to die! It's all my fault!!"
"No it's not Bella! How could you think that?"
"Because I didn't help, I just stood against a cliff looking for a sharp rock to cut myself with..."
She was crying at this point, but I wanted more answers so I asked, "What do you mean 'a sharp rock to cut yourself with'? Why would you...? Oooh... Bella that wouldn't have worked! You would have killed yourself and he would have gone to those Vultures to die." I told her as I pulled her up close to me and hugged her tightly. Then I did something stupid. Again.
