Chapter Seven
Bits and Pieces

"Why are you in here, Bella?" Jake's voice rang throughout my ears. I glanced up at him from the newest yearbook. I had only begun to go through it to get my mind off of what I had seen.

"Better yet," I began, glancing back down at the yearbook. It was one from the La Push Reservation. I turned it around to show him and his eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "Why are you in here as Jacob Black?"

He shrugged but I knew he knew why. He knew why he was in a La Push yearbook and why I was in a Forks one. He held a lot of the answers that I so hopelessly wanted. I needed to know who Bella Swan and Jacob Black were. I needed to know the connection they shared. "You know something, Jake Bloom," I growled in a whisper. "What do you know?"

Jake looked around the entire room but I continued to stare at him with a deathly gaze. I would get answers out of him even if I had to beat him with a stick – or at least my broken baseball bat. He let out a shaky sigh and his hands began to tremble. He was getting angry.

"Iam Jacob Black, Bella," he replied in a stern voice, something that I had never heard from him before. But his tone made me afraid. I suddenly felt myself wishing to be with Alice. "Just like you're Bella Swan. We've been reincarnated into the bodies of Jake Bloom and Bella Swank."

I guess it did make a bit of sense by the way Jake said it. Bloom and Black both began with the letters b and l. While Swan was actually in Swank. We both had their first names but then again Isabella and Jacob are extremely popular names.

"How do you know?" I spat. I could feel the skepticism and anger in my voice as I spoke. I didn't like it. The way I talked to Jake, the boy who was my best friend since preschool and first crush, was sickening. I had never talked to him this way before. What was this knowledge doing to me? I let out a sigh. "It doesn't make sense."

"Theyare vampires, Bella," Jake confirmed and like before, it was easier to believe him. "The Cullens… that's why I was growling at the lee—Alice."

"Butwhy?" I asked. I picked up the La Push yearbook and hit myself in the head with it, trying to beat all the voices and nightmares of the past four years out of my head. I heard Jake laugh and I stopped the assault on my head. "What?"

"Why are you beating yourself in the head with my yearbook?" he asked. I raised an eyebrow in his direction and scowled.

"I don't see your name on it," I snapped. He rolled his eyes and took the worn yearbook out of my hands. He turned the yearbook around to show off the hardback cover. Engraved in silver script was the name Jacob Black.

I looked up at him and met his intense black eyes. They were beautiful just like Jacob Black's and suddenly, I could see the resemblance. They were both rather tan and tall for only being sixteen. No wonder dream me had told Jacob Black to kiss her. I found myself wanting to kiss Jake. "If this was your yearbook, how did the library get a hold of it?" I asked.

Jake smiled and went through it, laughing at certain photographs. He probably remembered them but I only wished that I could remember the things in the Forks High School yearbook. "You were supposed to marry Edward," Jake said. "Edward sent me an invitation to the wedding and I took off. My dad donated it just weeks before I returned. He probably thought that I wasn't going to come back. I know the rest of the pack did."

"Pack?"

"Werewolves, honey."

I let out an exasperated sigh. "You're a werewolf?"

"Why else would I be growling at a vampire? We're mortal enemies, Bells."

"So then what happened between me – I mean, Bella – what happened between Bella and Edward?"

"Well, from what I heard, you wanted to be with Edward for eternity but he only agreed to change you if you married him. Two days before the wedding, Edward backed out of changing you but said he still loved you and all that jazz. His whole family was infuriated with him. You left and started hanging around more at La Push with me and the guys."

"Guys?"

"Embry, Quil, Paul, Jared, Collin, Brady – even some of the new pups."

I nodded as I listened to Jake.

"About two weeks later, one of the new pups, Brian Thompson, imprinted on you after seeing you the first time. It was a miracle really. I didn't imprint until a few years later."

"Imprint?"

"You were Brian's perfect match in every way, Bella," Jake replied. "Sam doesn't think Brian would've imprinted on you if Edward would've kept his word."

I shook my head violently, trying to shake everything that Jake was saying out of my head. I didn't want to believe this nonsense but somehow… somehow I knew that everything he was telling me – everything that sweet Alice and stalker Edward had said – was true.

Then suddenly, all at once, certain things began to bombard my mind.

"I punched a werewolf in the face."

"You are exactly my brand of heroin."

"Do I dazzle you?"

"Our only fear is losing you."

Fear of losing me. No one had ever said that to me before… at least in this lifetime. Well, unless you count Jake…

"Are you alright?" Jake whispered. I jumped when I felt him place his hot hand on top of mine. "Bella…"

I refused to meet his gaze and for that brief moment, I could picture a letter in my mind.

Doesn't change anything. Sorry.

Doesn't change what? Sure I had a feeling that everything I was being told was more than true. It was a fact that everything Alice, Edward, and Jake told me had indeed happened.

"Bells…?"

I still didn't look up at Jake. My mind was too busy having a mental battle with itself. I felt like I was going to suffocate at any given moment and soon, the large library seemed to feel small, making me claustrophobic.

"Isabella!" I heard Jake shout.

My head snapped up to meet his penetrating gaze. He looked worried, just like I knew that I looked terrified.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

I shook my head before letting my emotions get the best of me and bursting into tears.
