Chapter Five

Jacob's POV

I hated myself even more now as I sat in the living room with the house phone in my hand.

I now understood why she was so upset. I ws an idiot for not explaining what I meant. I should have known she would have blown it all out of proportion. She was Bella, of course.

I wanted to go over to Charlie's and hug her until she stopped the crying. I could hear the crying in her voice.

Then came the cruiser up the driveway. Just what I need.

In a few minutes, Charlie walked through the door and flashed me a happy smile.

I just broke your daughter's heart and now you are smiling at me?

"Hey, Jake! Is Bella here?" I shook my head. I guess he hadn't seen her yet.

"Why? What's got you all happy?" He chuckled and closed the door, sitting next to me on the couch.

"I guess Bella didn't tell you. She didn't even tell me." I nodded. I was curious.

"What?"

"I got another call from Edward about ten minutes ago while I was at the station. Apparently, her phone must be off or something because he couldn't get a hold of her. Anyways, supposedly, they had already decided on divorce." I felt like my heart completely stopped when he spoke that one little word.

Divorce.

That put all of the pieces together for me. Her coming to see me, the unbelievable sex, her being so upset.

She chose me. She FINALLY chose me.

"What?" I looked to him and he was uncontrolably smiling. I had never seen him so happy.

"He said that he was going to FedEx the divorce papers to her, that she had already decided on a divorce." I felt my breating leave me as I gulped.

"Are you sure?" He nodded gently and sighed.

"Why don't you look like you're happy?" I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

"Because Bella is upset with me. I said something stupid, she got upset, and went home." He nodded, a small frown on his face. "She was pretty upset when she left and she yelled at me when I tried to call her." He chuckled and that just made me confused.

"She is a lot like her mother. Very stubborn and hard-headed. Give her time. That is all she will need." I nodded and shook his hand. I didn' believe it. She was too upset to forgive me, ever.

I knew I had lost her, but I wouldn't upset Charlie by letting him know that. He depended on me for Bella's sanity

"Okay. Maybe you're right." I lied.

I waited a day before trying to call the house. The house phone rang and rang until the answering machine picked up. I knew she was home and Charlie had to be at work.

I sighed heavily as I put the phone back on the cradle.

I really wanted to apologize, but she wasn't letting me even do that. I loved her so much and I fucked up badly.

After a moment, the phone rang. I instantly picked it up, hoping that it was Bella.

"Hello?" I was wrong. It wasn't Bella.

"Jacob, do you know if Bella went anywhere after she left your house yesterday?" It was Charlie and he sounded very worried and upset.

"No, Charlie. Why? What's going on?" He groaned.

"Well, when I got home last night after talking to you, Bella was in her room, crying, and she had blood all over her clothes." The phone dropped out of my hand as I gasped.

Bella...covered...in blood.

I picked back up the phone again and pulled on my shoes and t-shirt.

"Say that last part again?" I had to make sure she was okay for myself. I didn't care if she was angry at me. I loved her too much to stay away if she is hurt.

"Her clothes were covered in blood. She couldn't give me where it came from and refused to go to the hospital to see what was wrong with her. Do you have any idea?" I groaned myself.

"No, but I'll go and figure it out for myself. I'll let you know what I find out." He lightly chuckled.

"I know you will, Jake. Thanks." We hung up and I went to the garage, mounted my bike, and took off to Forks. The roads were clear so I tested the speedometer to Charlie's house. I parked it down the street so Bella would get upset when she saw me.

I could see her inside of her bedroom, sitting in her rocking chair, on her computer, with that zombie getting ready to surface.

I went to the front door, got the key under the mat, and opened the door. I closed and locked it behind me, walking up the stairs.

I could hear some old country music playing through her radio.

When I say old country, I mean OLD.

"Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter,
IIn a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler,
We were poor, but we had love,
That was one thing daddy made sure of,
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar."

She had on a pair of glasses that I had never seen her wear before and was wearing baggy sweats with her Converses.

Then, the house phone rang. She picked it up without looking at it and put it on speaker.

"Hello?" She seemed in monotone.

"Bella? Love, are you alright? You sound like hell?" She rolled her eyes and clicked on the computer.

"Well, if I sound like hell, I probably look like shit. What did the lawyers say? You said you would call back in five minutes and its three hours." He sighed over the phone.

"Well, you seem to forget it takes a while to run from the Denali's to Port Angeles. Later on, I will bring you the papers. It has all been settled with the lawyer. You can get alimony, too." She groaned.

"Edward, I don't want alimony. I don't want your money or the family's money." He groaned.

"Bella, that part is non-negotiable. You need it more than I do." She sighed in defeat, running her fingers through her hair.

"And how long will I have to get it?" He chuckled gently.

"Until you get married again." She groaned loudly.

"Edward, I'm never getting married again. I'm never dating again. Okay? I don't want your money. All I want is the divorce finaled and you to be there as my friend." He sighed gently.

"Are you even going to tell me what happened when you went to the reservation?" It seemed like her breath was taken away and she gulped.

"You don't want to know. All you need to know is HE is no longer a part of my life." I flinched and decided it was time to make my presense known.

"Bells?" She gulped again and bit her lip.

"Edward, I'm going to have to call you back." She hung up before he could say anything and looked over at me, tears in her eyes and a broken soul through the depths. "What are you doing here?" I sighed and leaned my head against the door.

"You wouldn't take my calls." She looked away from me, closed her laptop, and put it back on the desk.

"And you wonder why." I walked over and knelt in front of her.

"Bells, I didn't mean it the way you took it. You know that I love you." She gently hugged her chest and kept her eyes away from me.

"Just go. Please." I rested my cheek on her leg and kissed the fabric of her sweats.

"I know you, Bells. I know what you are doing. You don't want to love you because you want a reason to be mad at me. I deserve for you to be mad at me for what I said, but what you don't understand is that I didn't know that you had seperated from him. Charlie had to tell me that and then I felt like a complete asshole for what I said.

"I love only you and I would have never asked you to leave if I didn't think you would regret what we shared. What we shared was so beautiful, Bells, just like you." She finally looked at me and had those tears down her cheeks now.

She moved into my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck, crying her eyes out into my chest.

"Jake." I kissed the top of her head and wrapped my arms around her.

"I love you, Bells. I love you so much and I'm so sorry that I hurt you." She pushed her lips against mine and gave me a sweet kiss.

"I love you." I leaned my forehead against hers as she continued to cry out her frustration. "You're an asshole." I nodded and laid kisses all over her face.

"I know, honey. I love you, though." She snuggled into my chest and we sat there for the longest time, just letting me hold her close to me.
