*Jacob's POV*

Pulling into the parking space right in front my apartment building, I got out and took my Chinese food take-out up the steps to the door. I was exhausted. Working 10 hours today and covering for my friend was no joke. Good thing I didn't have patrol today. Finally opening the door, I threw the food on the table and went to my room to take a shower. Entering the room, I found Bella sleeping in my bed with a book in her hand and glasses still on her face. I walked over to her and shook her

"Bella..Bella...Bella!" She opened her eyes and sat up.
"Hey, I'm home. Are you ok?"
"I was waiting for you to tell you some news and I guess I just dozed off.." she said in a confused tone.

"Well..what did you have to tell me?"
"Jake, you looked exhausted..I'll just tell you later on. Ok?"
"Sure thing, Bells. I'm gonna go hop in the shower. I'll be back."

I walked to my dresser, got some gym shorts, boxers, and a t-shirt and went to the bathroom. I turned the knob to the far left so the hottest water could come out. My high temperature changes everything. I stepped in the shower, washed up, and stood there for who knows how long thinking. Thinking about how strange Bella was acting lately. How she's always showerin at least 5 times a day. Daily visits to Forks to see her friends from high school. Not being home when I get off work. Always tired and more I thought about these things, the more frustrated I got.

I turned off the water and put my boxers and shorts on and walked out my shirt in my hands. Entered the living room I saw Bella busy away texting whoever and chuckling. I walked into the kitchen and put my food in the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. Making my way to the living room, plopping down next to Bella, I turned on the tv to see that my favorite movie was on, Howl's Moving Castle. I watching this religiously as a child with Bella when she came down during the summers. She finally put her phone down and looked up at the tv.

"Oh god, I remember this movie. I hate it."
I turned and gave her an incredulous look. She LOVED this movie! I pretended to ignore her comment even though it irritated more than I already was. "So. what did you have to tell me?"
Bella looked down at her hands and started sniffling. Why was she crying?
"Bella? What's wrong?" I turned off the tv, turned to her, taking her hands in mine and stared at her.

"Promise you won't hate me after I tell you? Promise me." She looked me in the eyes and started crying.
"I can't promise you that. Will you please just tell me? Please?" The suspense was killing me here!

"I've been..I've been sneaking out and seeing...Edward."
All of a sudden everything made sense. She always took showers so she wouldn't smell like him. She went to Forks to see her "friends" who were the Cullens...

"Did you have sex with him?" I already knew the answer. Bella and I have done nothing the whole six months she's been living with me. And since she's been sneaking off behind my back..why wouldn't she?
She slightly nodded her head and started bawling. I couldn't look at her anymore. I got up and went for the bedroom. She grabbed my arm "Jacob please let me explain! Please!" I took her hand off mine and looked at her with digust. She slinked down to the floor crying her eyes out while I walked to the bedroom to get a shirt and my Free Runs. I walked back into the living room dressed, and sat on the couch. I looked at the carpet and tried to calm down. Ten minutes passed until I finally gained to composure to look her in the eye and talk to her.

"I want you out..tonight..right now" "Jacob! Plea-" "There is no fucking please! I've given you my whole fucking heart for the past four years! You moved in six fucking months ago and I thought you would finally take this serious! I can't do this back and forth shit anymore! I'm done! Get your shit and get the fuck out! You have ten minutes! If you're still here past ten minutes, your shit is trash. Starting now!"

She was crying like a baby when their mother spanked them. I kinda felt bad but that felling quickly left after I thought about it. I turned on the tv and watched my movie while she finished packing her shit.

Twenty minutes passed and she was done. I just about dragged her out of the apartment. She kept trying to ration with me and apologize and blah blah blah. I decided to be nice and help her carry the bags down the steps and threw them in the bed of her truck. It was pouring rain, so her stuff was pretty much soaked. Oops. I threw the last bag in the bed and quickly turned and asked for the key. She pulled it out and placed it in my hand and her hand lingered. I snatched the key and looked at her one more time. I wasted four years on this girl. I turned and walked back to my apartment. She called my name but I jogged away in the opposite direction of my house. Great night to go for a run.

I ran for the forest. I decided not to phase because I didn't want the guys in my business and hearing a bunch of "I told you so's". I kept running and replaying what Bella told me in my head over and over again. The road was coming up and the forest was on the opposite side so I just kep going. I crossed and halfway there I saw headlights and heard a girl scream. The tires made a loud screech as the car stopped. The girl got out and came around and asked me if I was ok. She barely touched me with her car. I looked down at the girl and saw my old crush before Bella. Before..anyone. Leah Clearwater.
