Edward got to the end of Charlie's road and stiffened.
"Edward… What's wrong?" I asked worriedly
"Dog" He hissed. I didn't really appreciate the way he said it but I knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Jacob…" I said
"He wants to talk to you, and Charlie's not back" Edward informed me.
"What about?" what would he have to say to me that we haven't already said over the phone arguments we have almost every other night.
"he is going to tell you something, to scare you away from me, what else?!" he snarled. Why did Jacob have to be so rude about Edward? He was supposed to be my best friend. Weather he hated Edward or not. He could at least try to get over the fact I loved him! Edward tried to understand that I needed him to be my friend! Maybe Jacob really wasn't worth the trouble if he was going to be so awful about this.
"I can't quite tell what he is going to say, he keeps thinking different things. But whatever he says. You can't believe it, because he is going to lie about something, Bella" Edward seemed upset and hurt. And I hate seeing him like that. Jacob was in big trouble!
"I promise, I won't believe a word he says!" I promised Edward, I was angry and it really saddened me to see Edward upset over something Jacob was going to say. He parked outside my house, and I could see Jacob leaning against his car in my drive with his arms folded across his chest.
"Well this will be interesting won't it? I will be listening; I will be straight round if he upsets you ok. He is going to say a lot to try and convince you, which means he is going to try and hurt you. But I love you Bella! Okay. No matter what he says" Edward sounded like he was on the edge of hysteria. I put both my hands on each side of his face.
"Edward. I love you, too! You know that. He can try and hurt me, but I know how much you love me so no matter what he says I will NOT believe him. I love you, so much!" Edward leaned in and pressed his lips to mine; using more force then usual, his lips parting slightly and lingering. I could tell how much this was upsetting him, and as much as I cared for Jacob, I hated him for putting Edward like this. It aggravated me so!
"Go, he is getting impatient. I love you" Edward sighed. I got out of the car and stared as Edward drove off, I knew he would be back on foot in less then 5 minutes, surely Jacob could say the worst while Edward didn't have to hear it being said. I stomped over to Jacob and tried to pretend I didn't know what he was about to say.
"Jacob. What a surprise" my expression was as blank as my voice.
"Hey, bells! It's great to see you. You look, well" Jacob really didn't know Edward had told me what he was going to say.
"I don't want to get wet, Jacob. And it's starting to rain. So come in, please" I tried to be friendly and inviting "please don't get dog prints on the carpet please, I don't think Charlie would let that one off easy" I teased, punching him on the arm. He just laughed. He followed behind me as I opened the door and walked to the kitchen.
"So, what is it you wanted? I don't have long. I need to get Charlie's dinner ready, and then im going for an early night" I really wanted to get straight to it.
"Bella, I need to tell you something. Well, it's a request actually. I would appreciate it much if you would do it please" he started. Hell he must think im actually going to leave Edward. Fat chance!
"Jacob, don't be around the bush. Get to it I have things to do" I sounded rude, and truthfully, that was my intention.
"Okay, well. I want you to leave you leech; He is bad for you Bella. He could loose control a…" I cut him off before I even heard what he was going to say; though I could tell where it was going.
"Don't you dare, Jacob! Edward would NEVER. He has more control of himself then you would ever know! Unlike a silly adolescent DOG!" I was so angry now.
"Bella, I can keep my self controlled! I love you enough to do that! I wouldn't ever hurt you" he argued.
"What and Edward would?! He has tried to cope with you, I persisted with you being my best friend, when you hate him, and he hates you! I despised the hate between you both, but at least Edward didn't try to get me to avoid you and tried to tolerate you when you just come around like you do and have done now!" i couldn't believe i was hearing this!
"I demand you stay away from him. He is not good for you! He will kill you!" Jacob began to step towards me "I could love you and NEVER hurt you! He left you once! he will do it again!" he put a hand on my shoulder, I shrugged it off violently
"I. LOVE. EDWARD! And he loves me! He left me because he thought he was helping me, he wasn't to know that I would turn out the way I did! But he was going to come back anyway! Because he. LOVES. Me, Jacob. And there is nothing you can ever say that will change that. I don't understand why you have to be so childish and immature about this! I thought you understood love!" I was next to crying now; he just annoyed me so bad!
"I DO understand love. That's why I know you have to leave him! He is a Vampire! He will kill you if he looses control…" Jacob started to whisper.
"And you would be able to stop yourself and not hurt me or even kill me if I was stood too close and said the wrong thing? Jacob you're shaking now!"
"I wouldn't…." he was violently shaking now
"Jacob, breathe! Your scaring me, Stop shaking! You could turn into you any minute!"
"I am me! Right now I am me! I wouldn't ever hurt you like that!" he was still shaking violently.
"Not intentionally! And neither would Edward! He wouldn't even anyway! He would run away before he lost him self! Now Jacob I want you to leave!" I hissed. I was hysteric to a degree. Jacob had stopped shaking but his expression was torn. How could I even care after all he has said! He did hurt me! His stupid childish attempt worked. But not the way he wanted it to. I hate him!
"Jacob, Leave! Charlie will be home soon! And I can't be in this state. And all I will have to say to him is 'a dog upset me'" i screamed. He was shaking again, and then he ran. He ran to his car and left. At that moment Edward ran in through the back door.
"Oh… Edward!" I sobbed, running into him and hiding my face in his chest.
"he just nearly killed you! If he hadn't of left he would have killed you Bella!" Edward was scared; I could hear it in his voice, as he didn't try to hide it. He was scared for me. I carried on sobbing.
"I HATE him Edward. He is so mean. I never want to see him again!" I was sobbing, but still angry.
"Don't worry Bella, breathe. He has gone. And believe me he won't be back. He knows how angry I am that he has done this to you, I swear if it weren't for this retched treaty I would kill him!" Just then we both looked up at each other as we heard Charlie's cruiser in the drive. Edward whiped away my tears with is thumbs.
"Don't worry Bella, I love you" Edward kissed my lips quickly and went and sat in the chair that he usually sits in when he is round. Charlie walked through the door.
"Bella, are you home?" charlie asked as soon as he got through the door.
"yeah, im here dad" I still had the sound of hysteria in my voice.
"Okay. Some idiot just drove past me at an impeccably fast speed on the high way. He was in a slick black car. Really fancy. Nearly drove straight into me!" Charlie sounded appalled. But it shocked me that the car he described was the car Jacob was leant against this afternoon.
"Oh, really?" I stared at Edward and he looked just as surprised, but realised how not bothered I really was.
"What's for tea then bells?" Charlie must be hungry, because he never asks if he can't smell it cooking.
"Well, I haven't started it yet, dad. Sorry. I haven't been home long, I went shopping with Alice and rose today, is there anything you want?" I explained to Charlie, I was able to think again.
"well, im famished. But I don't want to rush you. You baby me too much" Charlie walked in to the kitchen and smiled kindly at Edward and carried on talking to me "so I'll order a pizza for us both, is that okay?"
"Yeah, that's great. Thank you" I shared a glance with Edward.
"We will be upstairs dad, shout me when the pizza is here" Charlie smiled and nodded-he was dialling the pizza people.
I went and sat on my bed and Edward sat next to me; dragging me to his lap.
"you look stressed, love" Edward said coolly.
"no, im just… angry still. Annoyed, upset, Jacob has hurt me. His words were harsh, un-truthful and selfish! I didn't know Jacob even had that side of him!" I snuggled my head into Edwards's neck to muffle my sobs, he rubbed my back soothingly.
"Don't worry, love" just then Charlie called me down. The pizza must have arrived.
After finishing the pizza's Edward and I went back upstairs. I started sobbing again. I couldn't contain my self, Jacob had hurt me, upset me, and annoyed me, and made me so I angry I could turn violent.
"Bella, don't be sad about him, your giving him what he wanted. Like you said, Adolescent dog" Edward snarled his name "you don't need him in your life" he was rubbing soothing circles into my back.
"I know but I just cant help it, im so sorry Edward" I couldn't stop the sobs coming.
"don't worry love, you don't need him. He wont be back. I wont let him anywhere near you again I promise"
We shared a moment of silence just staring into each others eyes.
"Isabella Marie Swan, I Love you, with every part of me. I will, forever" Edward placed his hands on either side of my face, he stared into my eyes and moved his face closer to mine. He kissed me so gently, but meaningfully. That was the last I could remember of that night. I must of fallen to sleep. I don't even remember Edward leaving and coming back.
