Chapter 8 - Meeting

Edward's P.O.V

Bella wanted to leave and I couldn't do anything about it. I knew that she had to get away from a place that made her body ache. The only thing that I wanted was to have her by my side and to help her through this unimaginable moment in our lives. I wished Bella would believe in us again.

I walked away from my home the home that was built of laughter, trust and most importantly family. I knew the visions that Alice saw were subjective but this vision had scared me. The fact that I would have to choose between my love and my family would be the hardest thing for me to choose. Could I honestly walk away from a family that had treated me like a brother and a protector for over a century for the woman I loved and had a child with?

I got closer to the Quileute border and decided it was time to meet with Jacob. The man who seemed to know my wife better than anyone else. He was the reason why Bella had the chance to have the baby in her and the reason why my family was still intact. Even though Jacob was my rival I needed answers and I needed them now.

Jacob's thoughts got louder as I approached the rock that Bella had gone to many times. "Jacob" I called out. I felt his presence near by as I tried to close the distance between us.

"Yeah bloodsucker I'm over here," he gestured toward the rock that looked over the horizon.

I walked over to Jacob trying to distract myself from the visions of my beautiful wife holding on to a mongrel while I sat at home withering away. "Jacob we need to talk" I said sternly.

"I know. Trust me I don't want any trouble," he stated.

"Jacob I don't know what to do. I love Bella more than anything in the world but I just can't get through to her. I know you know her better than me sometimes. Please help me," I begged as I buried my face into my shaking hands.

It was silent for a long moment and then Jacob got up off the rock and lifted me off the ground. I was surprised the mongrel had any human emotions for someone like me. "Edward I don't know what to say. I honestly love Bella and I can't stop myself but now she's one of you and off limits" he started off slow picking his words carefully.

"Edward I love Bella and I know she's confused right now. It's odd having her so close to me I won't lie its the oddest thing being so close to her and actually wanting to instinctively rip her head off but then emotionally wanting to hold and comfort her," he spoke. "I'm sorry but if Bella needs me right now, I'm going to be here for her."

I looked at Jacob Black the truest of true Alpha dogs. He was not only the man that could take everything away from me but he could also end everything. I knew deep down no matter how hard I tried to reason with Bella she was way too stubborn. So if she wanted to leave, the door would be open... With or without me... With that I decided I needed to be with my family more than ever before.
