I am so sorry about updating! It has been really crazy for me lately. But when I got and saw all the wonderful reviews you all gave me, I just started writing.
(Jacob's POV)
I was getting ready to throttle Anna. We were on the last day of the cruise and nothing we had come up with had come even remotely close to breaking the two up.
"… Bella will then slip, sending her crashing into your arms, making Edward rage with jealously-" At this point I stopped her.
"…then you two will go off together and make junior Edwards together." I finished the sentence for her, no longer wanting to hear the rest of anther horrible plan.
A large smile came upon her lips. "Not exactly, I will still have to kill Bella beforehand."
I let out a frustrated groan. "Anna, let me tell you something. At the end of today, everyone is leaving. Therefore, my grandma will disown me, I will never have money again, and Edward will get the girl. All because of your stupid plans you have been cooking up." At the word stupid spit came out of my mouth, making Anna start to back away from me.
"You need help with your anger management problems." She told me. " I have this wonderful yoga instructor that will help you do wonders-"
"I don't care about the stupid yoga teacher!" I yelled loudly enough to earn a few concerned glances from some elderly ladies.
"See? Exactly what I mean. He has the best tree position ever! I mean…" She trailed off at the look of murder upon my face.
"Now see here, Anna, this is what we are going to do, now listen carefully if you still want to be alive tomorrow."
(Bella's POV)
I was on the cruises spa that Alice had insisted on taking me to before we leave, reasoning that every good vacation calls for beautification time. Currently, I was getting a enjoyable massage from some person named Helga.
Alice was in the room next to mine. She had already gotten her massage and was relaxing in a mud bath.
Just then the manager of the spa came in. "So sorry to interrupt but we have a message for Bella Swan. The sender said it was to be delivered immediately." She quietly gave the note to me and exited the room.
Printed upon the note was this-
Bella,
Please meet me in the music room at 3:55 sharp. Sorry for the late notice.
Edward had told me earlier today that he was going to meet one of the sound producers in the music room at four, so I assumed that he wanted to meet me there early for support.
Quickly I grabbed a towel from the stand and changed. Alice would understand that I needed to go see Edward. Offering a swift thanks to Helga, I left.
I speed into the room right on time. Confusedly I walked into the middle of the room looking for Edward. He said to meet him here, and yet no one was in sight.
Then I heard quiet footsteps walk into the room. Before I could look to see who it was, since I was already expecting Edward, hands were placed on my hips squeezing me to him. I leaned into the embrace and closed my eyes contentedly. Granted, it was warmer than usual but I guessed Edward had probably just come from the gym.
"Edward," I murmured, happy to be with him again, since I hadn't been with him since early morning because of the spa day. A soft kiss came on my lips, and my eyes fluttered open. Before I could make out anything, another kiss came, more forceful this time.
I started to pull out of the embrace but I was pulled back towards him forcefully. Edward was now kissing me with urgency, and I replied hastily. These kisses were so different of Edward's usual soft ones but still hypnotizing in their own way. Before long it had escalated, and we were kissing heatedly. He tasted almost different though, more like cinnamon than mint.
I heard footsteps come in through the door and slowly broke away from Edward, not wanting to kiss so openly in public. But when I pushed away from the supposed Edward, I only saw Jacob.
I looked around is frame to see who had come in and saw the real Edward standing in the room, frozen.
I pushed Jacob roughly away from me, shooting daggers at him. He gave me a small smile. "Don't be like that Bella. Edward has found out, now you can come clean about us."
"What are you talking about? There is no 'us'!" I yelled. I looked over Jacobs shoulder to Edward. "Don't believe him. This really isn't what it looks like, just let me explain!"
Edward looked sadly into my eyes. "Bella, if you really wanted this you could have told me. I realize that I may not be what is good for you, but I tried, I really tried. I will always love you, of course. I hope we can stay friends, at least." He gave the charming smile that I always had loved.
My eyes welled up with tears. "No Edward, come back! I love you still. Please, come back…" I fell to the floor in a heap sobbing, crying with all I had, gasping for air in between sobs.
Jacob scooped me up is his arms before Edward to get to me. "Edward, she doesn't know what she is saying, just go!"
I pushed back on Jacob, and tumbled onto the ground again. "I know exactly what I am saying, don't go! Please!" I was now sobbing so badly, I could no longer talk.
Jacob picked me up once again, and injected with a needle a small liquid when Edward wasn't looking. Before I could comprehend what was happening, I went limp in Jacob's arms, and blacked out.
(Edward's POV)
As Bella fell asleep in Jacob's arms it took everything not to grab her, take off, and never let her leave my sight again.
As if noticing the look of desire upon my face, he wrapped his arms more securely around her. "Well, see you. Don't come looking around for Bella. Remember what is best for her, Edward. Don't think about what you want. If you really love her, you'll let her go. And you do love her, right?"
I could not take my eyes away from Bella's peaceful state, and wanted nothing else than for her to be happy. "Of course I love her. I always will."
"Good. Well then, best to just go our own separate ways now." Jacob started to walk away.
"Wait!" I yelled, running after Jacob.
"What now?" He asked, getting slightly annoyed.
"Can I say goodbye to her? For old times sake?" I knew if I wanted what was best for Bella I would have to stay away.
"Yeah, whatever. Say goodbye to her for your family too. You don't want them to mess up her 'happiness' do you?"
"No, no, of course not." I mumbled incoherently. I kissed her cheek softly, savoring the feel of her soft skin, and leaned down to her ear. "I love you Bella. Never forget that." It was all I could whisper before Jacob pulled her roughly away.
I watched paralyzed as Jacob walked down the hallway with Bella nestled into his arms, and let the silent tears flow down my cheeks. My Bella was lost to me forever. I wanted what was best for her, and she wants Jacob.
Now I had to tell my family to do the same as me, to stay away.
(Jacob's POV)
I pushed away the guilt when I saw the Cullen's walk off the cruise ship without Bella. She was currently sleeping off the drug that I had given her back in the music room.
The drug I had given her would erase her memory of the past few days. When she wakes up I will lovingly explain how Edward dumped her, thinking himself to good for her.
I knew that I real life Edward would do nothing of the sort but I also knew about how insecure she was about not being good enough for him.
After she wakes up I will explain to her how we had fallen in love quickly. Also, I will tell her about her engagement to me now. And how the wedding was just months away.
Too bad I didn't know now that things were never that easy. I was a long ways away from my fairytale ending. I should have just gotten rid of Edward then.
The next chapter will take about a week or so because I am going to New York this week. Thanks again for the reviews, without them, this chapter wouldn't be here.
