Twisted Love Chapter 4
Edward carried me back to school… talking to Jake the whole way back. I was so glad that they were friends… but for now. They didn't talk to me once… but I just listened to their conversation. There was so much going on in my head right now… Rosalie…. Jacob… Edward…. and their new friendship. I couldn't stop thinking about everything… it was swirling in my head so fast.
"Bella! There you are! I was so worried about you!"
I knew it was Alice when she said Bella… she had that slightly high voice that I loved. Everything about Alice was so unique… and I loved that about her. "Hi Alice…" I was still really weak. I didn't want to be let down… just yet.
She ran up to me with Jasper glued to her side. They never left each other… never. Jasper starred at me blankly… probably trying to calm me down… I needed that a lot lately. I smiled at him… and he seemed to get my thank you. Edward started to put me down… put I wasn't ready to stand yet. I stood up… but my legs weren't ready for that. They wiggled and gave way. Luckily, Jacob was there to catch me.
"Bella! Did she pass out again?" Rosalie said from the corner.
They all stopped and looked at her… surprised. I couldn't believe she was standing there… watching me… caring about me. I looked over at her… surprised at how close she was. She stood there… her blonde hair so perfect… she was so perfect. I reached for her but she backed away from me. Tears came to me at this time. They flew from my eyes like tidal waves… they wouldn't stop. They just kept coming and coming.
"Bella… please don't cry!" Jacob said trying to calm me down. He put his hand on my head… his hand felt so warm. But the tears didn't stop… they just kept coming. Jacob looked up at Rosalie. "How can you just stand there and watch her cry. It's not her fault! It's mine! Don't blame her! She loves you Rosalie… she needs you… more than you think." He looked back down at me… his eyes filled with anger. He hated to see me upset… but I couldn't stop the tears and the pain. I stared back at him… trying to control my eyes… but they wouldn't stop. Suddenly, I felt a cold hand on my arm. Jacob and I both looked at it… and this time… it was Rosalie's. I looked up at her… and her eyes met mine for once in about a week. I tried to smile the best I could… but the tears kept coming.
"Rosalie… I…" I started.
"Shh Bella… I have something to tell you." She said. I was ready for the hurt to start again. My heart stopped beating as I waited for Rosalie to talk… I was so scared that she wouldn't forgive me. "I shouldn't have treated you like this… and I apologize. I'm so sorry for everything. I know that Emmett being…" She paused… I knew that she was crying inside. "Gone is not your fault. And I know Jacob didn't do that on purpose… he was just trying to help." She looked at Jacob… but didn't smile. "I still don't forgive you Jacob… and I probably never will. But I do know that you're right. I know that it wasn't Bella's fault and I shouldn't treat her like this."
Jacob looked up at Rosalie. "Thank you." He looked back down at me.
Thank you? That's all he could say? Well… I didn't blame him… Rosalie and Jacob never liked each other… and they never would. I was so surprised that I couldn't speak. I can't believe that she forgave me. But… would we go back to being best friends again? I don't think we could… or could we?
