JPOV
I couldn't believe this. she was just going back to her filthy bloody bloodsuckers.
After I had just got her back.I knew it wasn't his fault but I kinda blamed sam...a lot.
if he hadn't said- he could have made her stayed because her leech was gonna hurt her, i dunno. but all he did was let her go!
I turned to my alpha. white-hot anger was burning through me and i couldn't' stop the tremors that ran through me.
"you could have helped her sam!"I shouted.
"what was I going to save her from exactly?"are you kidding? what kind of stupidity is this idiot talking.
"what do you mean?!you heard that conversation sam, you don't know what he could be doing to her behind closed doors!"i said, trying to point out the obvious.
"exactly, i don't know what goes on behind closed door's and frankly Jacob unless you have evidence that he is hurting her, which i didn't see. i am not about to keep her here against her will and have an angry leech about to start war. do you understand?"i couldn't believe it.
the fucking treaty! that's what he cares about.
"and if it was emily"i asked for well knowing what would come to mind.
'Bella isn't Emily and she isn't an imprint Jacob!"he bellowed . that's it,i ran out of the house pushing past sam on the way out and phased.
i needed to let my wolf out all of this shit about not being an imprint was pissing me off something alright.
run.
Does it not matter if they get hurt?
run.
my mind and body were working high and i didn't care.
run.
who the hell did he think he else and he would have stopped them.
run.
the muscles in my legs were contracting as i was fighting an inner battle with my wolf.
the wolf wanted to go and claim his mate to see if she was ok.(wolf in bold italics, Jacob in normal italics.)
you moron are you dumb-ass go and find your mate!
my wolf shouted at me. it was weird were like two different people but also like talking to yourself.
why she went with the frigging leech! i argued,even though really wanted to listen to my wolf.
Exactly she went with the leech. did you not hear the conversation on the phone? and yet you still don't want to check on her!?
stop shouting at me fool, I can hear perfectly fine. and incase you didn't realise she didn't even care she just agreed to it. so who am i to stop her?
are you hearing your self? she was scared, and beside for once i have had enough of you not doing anything. for the love of god how long am i supposed to wait for you to claim our mate.
my inner wolf was making a point but i can't break the treaty and do anything anyway!
it's not like i don't want to check on her or claim her for us. firstly i want to claim her but when the time is right, remember wolf it has to be done properly, the last thing i want is her getting upset. secondly i would check on her but because of our treaty i can't! so don't bloody shout at me.
whatever! you can do what you want, but know when the time comes I'm killing that stupid over protective leech of hers!
and then his voice faded. recently it was getting harder to keep my wolf from the surface especially when it came to Bella.i sighed and carried on the wolf didn't really care for emotion or such, just what he wanted, so it was strange to have him give me advice.
The involuntary memories appeared.
Bella sitting on an upturned crate watching me work on the motorcycles holding a warm soda in her hand, laughing at some comment jake had made.
run.
Jacob and Bella buying grocery shopping for cakes at the store .both messing around,and spinning the trolley like maniacs, but hey were having fun.
run.
Bella cooking a cake when jake sprinkled flour on her hair, which ended in a big food fight with eggs,flour,sugar and decorations being used as amo. billy and Charlie taking a picture of them when they had fallen asleep.
run.
everything was so simple back then. when there were no suicidal ex-vampire boyfriends to worry about .when there were no overpowering alpha's giving out late patrol schedules.
when they were just jake 'n' bells.
best friends.
And now he was lucky if he saw her at all anymore. not only that but she also has an overpowering vampire boyfriend who doesn't let her see her best friend . he had stopped running.
why did she have to save him from italy?
if she hadn't gone and saved him Jacob and her would be together!And after everything he did for her she just ran back into his arms.
And now look were that got her. she has a controlling leech who doesn't let her do anything and she still goes back to him. she thinks that he doesn't control her when she is with him. he doesn't give her opinion a second thought,always letting the bloodsucker make them for her. i doesn't think i haves ever seen her laugh around the leech.
but when she is with me..everything seems to change. as soon as she see's me the smile appears on her face. and when she is with me they can just be themselves and they talk about practically anything. if only i could get her to see just how controlling her leech was, maybe it would set her free.
i felt someone phase was a weird feeling, it was embry. I hadn't heard from him since-
they were walking towards the treaty line, somewhere in that time Bella grabbed embry's hand without realising .he knew that she saw the silver Volvo as she sucked in a ragged breath. she was so terrified he could smell it.
the leech hugged her to him "don't worry darling i'll deal with you later"-embry
dude! you still let her go!?-jacob
I started growling at embry.
what was i supposed to do then genius?-embry
i don't know! anything to stop her!jake
look i'm sorry you know as well as i do that if there was anything i could do i would.-embry
i know. i'm sorry. it's just so aggravating knowing you can't do anything about it-jake
you go home dude you have to patrol soon-embry
thanks man and err sorry, again-jake

Jacob found himself nearing his house but he had a little predicament, you see when he had phased he hadn't really thought of the cloths part.
And he was pretty sure he didn't want to wonder naked,lucky for him he always kept a pair of cut-off's and a top round the back of the garage.
He quickly changed, leaving the shirt of course and walked into the little red cabin,billy was sitting in his chair reading over some tribal legends that needed clearing. He had returned from his tribal meeting with the council not long looked up and sympathy washed over him as he saw his son slump down in a chair and Bury his head in his hands.
"son, are you okay?"billy asked carefully. he didn't want an angry werewolf on looked up from his hands and at his father.
"i don't even know. did you know Bella came today?"although it was more of a statement than knew that she had come today being the one to answer the door.
"yes"was all he said. a thought struck billy."is it something to do with her?"jacob knew he didn't need to elaborate.
"yea i guess you could say. not so much her but the leech" he sighed placing the old parchments on the table and looked at his son, waiting for him to explain."you know everything was fine, for a bit. then lahote had to open his mouth, but he only said what we were all thinking."
"what did he say?" billy was genuinely curious.
"he said about Bella's leech keeping her locked away. and guess what it was true."billy knew he needed to find out the whole story.
"start from the beginning" Jacob wouldn't usually discuss this with billy but he was so worried about her that he thought maybe his father could help.
"ok so she came and err ate food. everything was fine, then as you know paul opened his mouth and said that and i quote 'so Bella had that vamp yours been keeping you locked away', she didn't answer."jacob turned away and let the memories flood back."and then she said about how he wouldn't let her come and see me cause he thought we were the leech called.i swear dad you should have seen the way he shouted at her.
demanding that she come and meet him at the treaty line"he said but had to stop as he felt the tremors roll down his spine. taking a few deep breaths till he was finally calm before carrying on."she's terrified of him dad and i don't know what to do"he said falling back in his chair.
Billy saw the real Jacob vulnerable sixteen year old boy who had the burdens of an adult forced upon him, making him grow up. he wished that it wasn't his son. forget the pride that his son was a protector, he wished to have his happy carefree son back.
"there is not much you can do"billy said resting his hand on his son's slumped back more in his chair before he slowly got up from his seat.
"night dad"he whispered,as he walked to his room.
"night son"

Bella sat in the passenger side of the Volvo, not making a sound.
she hadn't said anything since Edward picked her up,she was revelling in the silence,sort of. where as Edward was not even sparing a glance her way,he would deal with her when they got to her house.
Although she tried not to show it, she was seeing the pure look of anger on his face when he had picked her just hoped that he didn't do anything to bad. she already knew she was going to suffer the consequences.
Edward still remained staring at the road,he probably didn't even need to,he also kept the stoic expressionless face he had when he was angry Though it was still dark Bella stared out the window looking into the forest.
Maybe she was looking for Jacob, she wasn't sure but she never looked away from it. funny thing is that she wasn't sorry she had seen him,no matter how much Edward was gonna hound at her or shout or whatever,she wasn't sorry she had snuck out to see jake today.
And she wouldn't apologise for seeing her best friend.
All to soon they reached the familiar road to her house, and Bella finally paid attention to her surroundings as they pulled into her drive way. Edward got out the car and opened her door,still not looking at her, Bella got out keeping her eyes down.
"I'll meet you in your room"he voice was tight and it was obvious to her that he was clenching his teeth. he rushed off leaving a gush of cold air in his place, Bella finally walked to the door and unlocked it stepping inside the dimly lit room charlie was sitting on the sofa watching the sports channel nursing a beer.
"hey bells"he said acknowledging she looked at him with what she hoped was a normal expression.
"hey dad,I'm tired so I'm gonna get an early night"she said making her way to the stairs, thankfully the volume was loud, she turned back Charlie just grumbled something which she thought was 'goodnight' and turned his attention back to the game.
Bella sighed and slowly trudged up the stairs, taking her time .Edward wasn't gonna wait to talk about today, she was emotionally exhausted and just wanted to get a nice long bath and go to sleep, which wasn't gonna happen. reluctantly she opened the door to her room to see Edward standing by her window.
she knew that he would be up here, just like he said but part of her, probably a bigger part than should have hoped that he wasn't gonna be here. she slipped off her coat and sat on edge if the bed. the silence was broken, Edward spoke up.
"so you're not going to say anything then?"he turned away from the window to look at didn't answer that only made him angrier than before."what's wrong isabella?why are you so quiet now?"he asked tilting his head to the side mocking confusion.
Bella was so damn scared she couldn't get a single word out. so far Edward was having a one-sided conversation but it sent pleasure to him that he could scare her like this."common love,after all I have waited for you to speak so humour me"
"Edward I'm not quite sure what you want me to say"she finally got out. It sounded stronger than she was feeling, she was pleased.
"well let's start with this,why did you do it?"he said stepping closer to her to only have her step back keeping distance between them.
"i"she thought about it and decided to tell the truth."i missed him, if you haven't realised, you haven't let me see him."she said matter of fact-ly. he was taken back at the tone of her voice.
"someone has forgotten their manners"he said tutting . In a second he was in front of her. breathing in the air she wa space wasn't important to him apparently."so isabella did you think i wouldn't find out?"the sudden change of façade made her re-think her approach.
"what exactly are you talking about"she asked,if there was something she was being accused of,she wanted to know what it was.
"don't play with me love,i can smell him on you"she was surprised but then she realised what he was talking about.
"well I should think that would make sense considering I have been with him most of the on Edward seriously"she said losing some of her patience.
"did you think i would honestly let you give yourself to him like that?!"he spat at ! she was taken back. did he really think that?
"Edward honestly if you think i gave myself to him in that way you are seriously delusional"she common sense gone,because she must have forgotten that he was of course a vampire.
"oh course Isabella you couldn't let just him have you could you? no, you had to whore yourself out to those mutt's"he threw at her."tell me, why?"he asked.
"okay Edward if you think that then you can just get out of my room.i'll have you know i am still a virgin"she was a power in her voice he had never heard. he let out a bitter laugh.
"oh no dear, i am not going until i show you who you really belong to"he was suddenly boxing her in between his arms, she was on panic thinking she raised her clenched fist to hit him when he grabbed her wrist and stopped squeezed her was shooting up her arm if he didn't let go he was gonna cut off her blood supply.
if he tightened it anymore he would surely break she banged free arm against the anticipated Charlie heard and was on his way up,Edward let go of her wrist and dashed out away from her and flew out her window. she hurried over to her window and locked it.
though he could still get in if he wanted she felt better about was a creak and Bella felt her heart jump in her door opened and Charlie stood there with his gun."you okay bells what happened?"he asked she'd forgotten about the noise she had made.
"umm I fell and banged my head against the wall, but I'm fine"she wasn't that believable and Charlie found himself wondering what really happened but he left it at that.
"well, ok go to sleep bells"he said as he walked out the felt herself slide down her wall and winced when her wrist came into contact with the floor. was no way she could go to sleep now. so she grabbed the duvet off her bed and wrapped it around her.
so she sat there in the corner of her room,and for the first time in her life.
she was scared of the man she loved.
