This is an author's note I wrote when writing it on paper:
I have been up for over 40 hours-its 10 am right now, so I can't get back to sleep(have to take care of gma) The past chapters have been written during last night, so I really didn't want to have 'the talk' so I kept putting it off-as you can see. But I finally got something to write about!!! Yeah, me!!!!
Chapter 34 (Bella's POV)
I think I was in heaven. Edward was with me again and we could be together forever. Just like he promised. Although that was when we were both human and thought mythological creatures were…mythological. But he still promised! And he kept it.
"Bella?" Jake asked, bringing my attention back to him.
"Hmmm?" I hummed. We kept walking off the porch and just kept going.
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I mean-we're all sorry. You were hurt twice because we failed." He mumbled the last part, but I could still hear it, "Even though you don't remember the second time."
"What was the first time?" I asked.
He stared at me blankly, "Do you not remember that either? When the Cullen's were being turned and they left?"
"Oh." I said, remembering it. "Jake, don't bring up the past! Gosh! Just forget about that!"
He stared again, then finally rumbled, "It was just a week ago!!!!!"
"Jake…" I stared back at him, "Have anything else to say?"
"Stubborn as a horse." He grumbled. But said louder, "Yeah. The packs want to see you again. Maybe about every five years or so? Just to like, catch up on things, you know."
"Sounds great." I said, smiling because they wanted to see me again.
"Really?" He grinned.
"Yeah! It would be fun!" We were now walking back to the house. "Plus, I wanna see how much you grow!"
"So, are you and Ed---" He broke off when he looked up towards the door. We were just up the stairs when Edward opened the front door.
"Jake? What were you going to say?" I asked when Edward didn't say anything, just stood there.
"Um-nothin'." He shook his head and walked to the door. Edward stepped aside for him and then closed the door, staying out here with me.
"Hey. You okay?" I asked him as I circled my arms around his waist.
"Yeah." He smiled a little. "Are you?"
I laid my head on his chest, breathing in his magnificent smell. "Perfect. Now, what was he going to say before you interrupted us?"
He raised his eyebrow, "What did I interrupt?"
I sighed. He knew exactly what I was talking about. "Edward. He was asking something about us and I know you know….so tell me!"
He grinned crookedly, "What if I don't?"
"Edward!!!!!" I whined and pouted.
He let out a small laugh, "Alright, alright. He wanted to know if we were really mates and if we were getting married."
"Yes to the first and no to the last." I said, going into the house. I didn't get past the door.
"What?" He pressed me up against the front door. His face was full of pain and no longer playful.
"Sorry, Edward. But I won't ever marry. Look what happened to Charlie and Renee." I said. I hoped he would understand because well, that's the one thing I ever promised myself-never to marry. (AU: I think I added this bc I now hate weddings. I love planning them, but not going to them. Especially the ones that are so….grrrrrr.)
"What do you mean? I thought you loved me!" He stepped back, releasing me and I fell to the porch.
The door opened quickly behind me, showing an irate Jake, "She loves you, you idiot!!!!!"
Edward narrowed his eyes at us as Jake helped me up, "Even though---"
"She said she was your mate!" Jake shouted at him. He looked disbelieving at him, "So what if she doesn't want to marry. She loves you, but right now, I don't see your love for her."
"WHY YOU----BEEP—(censored) BEEP!!!! BEEP BEEP!!!!!(Nah, I'm just kiddin'. Edward would never cuss. How dare you even think that!!!!! Hehehe)
Edward lunged for him and they fell through the porch, breaking the wooden boards.
"Edward! Jake!" I shrieked. I jumped down and took the fist that was aimed for Jake's face and swung it back at Edward. He flew off Jake and looked surprised at me. Jake, now in wolf-form, tried to get back at Edward. I held him down, trying to calm him, "Jake, please, please, please! Calm down!!!" That would work, wouldn't it?
Nope.
"JACOB BLACK!!! YOU CALM DOWN THIS INSTANT!!!"
Big, NO.
"Jakey-poo. I'm going to go get Sam!" I said like a tattle tale.
BUT IT WORKED!
He fell to the ground, human form and naked.
"Jake!!!You—OMMYGOD!!!!" I knelt beside him, taking in bite marks, black eyes and ripped skin.
"Don't worry 'bout it, Bells." He took my hands off but didn't release them. Just looked strangely at them, "They're cold."
"Jake, your bleeding. We have to—"
"I'll be fine. We heal fast." Jake said. A blanket fell from the opening the boys made. I picked it up and draped it over a grinning Jake.
"Jake, still. They could get—"
"Bell's," He put a finger over my mouth, "I will be just fine. I've had worse."
"But…" I looked up where Edward was supposed to be, but wasn't.
"What's the matter?" Jake asked, sitting up. "Oh." He looked where I was. "Stupid leech. So over reactive. Like a woman."
"HEY!!!" I heard several voices ring out above me. I laughed, knowing Jake never considered me one-he never did. I was just his best friend. And that was fine with me.
"Where do you think he went?" Jake asked, getting up.
Suddenly, I was hit with a vision. I could see everyone and everything. I saw above the porch, separated into two groups watching the hole. I went through the house, seeing nobody. It switched and went to the forest. I past the trees, faster than a vampire would. I found Edward sitting on the ground with his head in his hands. He was about to look up, but I was thrown back into myself.
I opened my eyes and was back under the porch with Jake.
"Bella?" Jake asked me. I don't think two seconds had past when I was hit with—whatever that was.
"He's in the forest. I have to go." I was gone and I followed where I saw Edward was at. I found him, just as he was getting up, "Edward?"
His eyes met mine and I knew something was wrong.
"I have to go."
OHHH!!! NO!!!! What's the matter with me!!!! Oh, well. It's not as bad as it seems.
