Chapter 12
Because we didn't have a car with us I had to walk all the way to IHOP not that I mind, just that I have to be careful so that no humans notice me.
"I am heading out Edward. Wish me luck!" I started walking out the door.
"Good luck and be safe." Edward said and then he was right behind me and gave me a hug. I turned around in his arms and kissed him on the cheek.
"I will don't worry." I gave him a reassuring smile
"Bella, have you forgotten who you are? You are a danger magnet, anything could happen."
I laughed. "Bye, I will be back in about an hour... depends on how much Jake eats and he eats a lot."
I ran off the porch steps and into the forest. I got to town in a little less than ten minutes. I appeared from the trees when I saw that no humans where around and walked in and waited for Jacob, which wasn't very long because he cam in the door almost just after I stepped in.
I smiled brightly at him and he gave me a big toothy grin. I walked over to him with my arms opened to give him a hug and he put his hands in front of him and took a step back. I immediately put my arms down and frowned. Did he not want to be my friend?
"Bells, I don't mean it that way." Jacob laughed, "I just am not used to the stench and I am not sure if I want it all over me." I started laughing along with him.
"Sorry, I forgot you know. It just felt like old times, I forget sometimes." I said apologetically.
"How can you forget that you changed into a vampire?" Jacob asked.
"Shhhh! Gosh, Jake, we are still in public." I put my finger over my lips to get the point across.
"Oh right..." He looked down sheepishly.
"Bella, table for two?" a lady asked. I turned around.
"Thats me!" I said raising my hand so that she got the right person and didn't get confused with the ten other people around us. Her head turned towards me and she smiled.
"Right this way, your seating is in a more private area just as asked. I will be out to get you drinks in five minutes just hang tight." hmmm that was nice of Edward.
"Thanks." I said as she gave us the menus and walked away.
"Wow," Jacob started, "I didn't know that IHOP was fancy enough to have a 'private seating' area." Well frankly I didn't either. I thought this place was for any family, but this is nice. "So what are you getting." Jacob asked.
"Hmmm i will get type 'O' to start off." I smirked and we both started laughing.
"Bells, I am sorry, but this is kind of creepy. I mean you a vampire? Well, I guess it is for the best your balance seems to have improved."
"Thanks Jake, always there to bring out the positive." I muttered sarcastically.
"Hello welcome to IHOP, what can I get you to drink?" our waitress had a note pad whiped out and she looked ready to write so I looked towards Jacob.
"I'll have... a Dr. Pepper please, and you Bella?" Jacob asked.
I cocked an eyebrow at him and looked towards the waitress who was patiently waiting for my answer. "I guess I will have the same, thank you."
"Okay, your orders will be out shortly." the waitress said and walked away.
I looked at Jacob as we were kind of in an awkward silence. "So..." I said.
"Bella honestly I am okay with it." Jacob said casually slouching down in his seat getting comfortable and throwing his hands behind his head so they were holding his head.
"Okay with what part exactly?" I said confused, leaning over the table a bit.
"Well of course I am not thrilled with you being a vampire and all, but I think I can get used to it. From what I have seen you are the same Bella. I thought you were going to turn into some crazed monster. Tell me though and I am just curious... how many humans have you killed?" How was he acting so casual about this! He used to always call vampires "bloodsuckers" or "leaches". This was odd, but he was right. I mean I didn't expect to be the same Bella that I was as human, but I am not in some ways, of course there is the more coordinated Bella, more beautiful Bella...
"None." I responded with no emotion. "I was so scared that I was going to... but before I was changed I guess my mind knew what to expect and I trained it from everything I have seen vampires respond to. I think that if everyone had known what to expect before they were changes that they wouldn't be so blood crazed. Don't get me wrong it was hard to do still... just it was more simple for me than everyone else." I explained. I heard footsteps coming towards our table.
"Okay here you are. Your drinks." she set down our drinks and then brought out the notepad again. "What can I get you to eat?" I looked toward Jake again and saw he was studding his menu.
"I'll get these pancakes," He pointed at a picture on the menu, "And I would like you to make sure that there is enough wiped cream on the smiley face. Last time I came here this waiter totally ripped me off. I am paying full price so that is what I should get." Wow Jake took his food seriously. The waitress just stared at him eyes a bit wider than before.
"Oh... okay?" Then she turned her attention to me. "Anything for you miss?" She asked.
"No thank you." I smiled and she was off. "Wow, Jake. It must have been horrible. I mean no wip cream smiley face? I can't even imagine something so bad happening!" I looked at him with a face that was suppose to look like complete shock. He laughed.
"It was horrible, they say it is only for kids, but I disagree." Jacob said. "So anyway you must be one tamed vamp then. I mean, no cool stories about sucking all the blood out of someone?"
"No, and don't joke about that. I can't even imagine. But, hey if you wanna hear one about an animal that's something I can share." I joked with him.
"Bella, you know I am part animal. That is just cruel." He put his hand over his heart and looked at me with a sad face.
"Yes, and your part human. Also you eat animals so you are killing something like your own kind! Might not be in the same shape, but they are animals to." I laughed and we joked around for another ten minuted until his food came.
"Okay, time for business. How where you changed?" Jake asked.
"I was at home just sitting in my room working on a report. There was a very big storm that night and I heard a screeching sound coming from the window. I thought it was just a tree outside hitting the window, but then the window poped open and before I could react I was swung over someones shoulder and I couldn't tell who's. I was freaking out as I was thrown to the ground in the forest. I tried to scream, but my throat felt closed up I was so scared. I then looked into the eyes of the person who had brought me there. I noticed immediately that it was Victoria. You could tell by the eeriness of her eyes. They where as red as the blood she was taking form me slowly, tourchering me. She told me how useless I was, why everyone was just putting up with me because they had to, that no one really cared at all. I believed her. I mean really how could I not after everything that happened in those last six months. Just before he was going to kill me she let me have five last words. You and I both know what they were most likely were." I looked at Jake. He was now sitting uneasy in his seat his hands clutching the table. "Don't break the table, Jake." I warned.
"Sorry." He muttered and put his hands in his lap.
"Anyway my last words were 'I love you Edward, always.' I shut my eyes waiting for death to come. I couldn't tell though because in those six months I could hardly feel a thing. Nothing mattered. Why should it? My very reason for existing was gone. Then I heard Victoria screech. It sounded like metal being torn off of something... I can't explain it, but it was pretty evident that someone was attacking her. That was the last thing I remember before waking up in some house and there were other vampires there. This vampire Rickey saved me and I became part of there coven and it has been five years since i have. Then Edward came back about a week ago, apparently he was enrolled in the same high school. Edward and me where fighting and everything because I didn't want to listen to him, but then I came to my senses and I need to hear the truth. He told me he left to protect me from him and his family so I could live a human normal and safe life... they left. I know you wouldn't have believed them, but I saw it in all their eyes... it was the truth. And here I am today." I finished. Wow that was a lot of explaining.
"I am happy to hear you are alright Bella. I can see it in your eyes, its like you weren't alive before and now... you just seem so alive and really." He smiled. Yes! He was happy maybe nothing has changed about us. We are still friends and he noticed it the same time I did. We couldn't stop smiling everything was right again. "So are you going to tell Charlie?"
I was completely shocked he would think I would tell Charlie. "No! There is no way! HE can't know. Jake please promise me you won't tell him! Its the best thing for him. Him knowing will just put his life in danger and our secret existence can't be a secret if we tell him."
"He already knows about the werewolf thing. Hell, his step kids are! I am sure he can keep you a secret."
"No, I am a vampire. He would totally freak! All he would think about around me was when I am going to attack. He seems happy now I don't want to interfere."
"Bella your his daughter! Ever thought about that?" Jacob did have a point.
"I will think about it okay." I muttered.
"You don't have to Bella. I am just pointing out that you could have everyone back in your life. Everyone that you want to tell you could tell... like Eli." I gasped. I didn't think that Jacob would bring him up.
"No." I tried to say strongly, but my voice was so small.
"Bella I don't know what happened between you to, but he is very worried. You guys were friends and then you started avoiding him. When I say he is worried about you, he really is. He won't tell me. What happened?" I looked at Jacob and I could tell he really didn't know.
"I used him okay! I used him for crying out loud! I am a monster for using one of my friends and I am ashamed. The worst things is that he doesn't even care. He said he understands. That isn't understandable!" I said putting my head in my hands.
"What do you mean Bella? How did you use him? You mean like..." He leaned over the table and whispered, "Sex?"
"Oh, no don't say it! It is bad enough already, but we didn't actually do it. I was going to, like about to. I thought if Edward thought I wasn't good enough for him, because that is what I thought him leaving was about at the time, I was going to show him someone could love me and that I was worth it." I frowned. I can't believe I did that.
"Well how far did you get?" He asked.
"Uhhh... to the point where we were both naked and he was about to... you know." I said stuttering not wanting to say it.
"Bella, I understand, but i am just saying that you can say he was about to stick his dick in you. We are both grown people here... well you are eighteen forever." He laughed.
"This isn't funny Jacob." I said in a stern voice. He stopped laughing.
"Well who stopped it?" He asked sounding hesitant.
"I am sad to say that it wasn't me." I put my head down. "He realized that I wasn't doing this because I liked him. He knew how things were with Edward. I am happy he stopped it because it would've made me feel worse. I haven't even told Edward yet and the guilt is eating me up inside."
"Bella look at me." He demanded. I looked up. "You are beautiful. Edward is very lucky to have you and he... loved you. It takes a lot of love to leave someone to make that persons life better. He is very selfless about you. I am sure when you tell him it will all work out." I felt a lot of hope in his words.
I smiled and got up and kissed his cheek and gave him a hug. "Thank you I needed that. Well I have to go. I will call you." I pulled away and put a hundred dollar bill on the table. "Eat anything you want."
"Your leaving already?" He asked.
"Gotta get back to school. I will visit soon okay." I waved and started walking off.
"Bye, Bells I will miss you." Jake said longing in his voice.
