Chapter Three: Going Back
I smiled at Edward.
He looked at me warily.
"Edward…I was wondering…." I said, my voice sweet and innocent.
"What?" He asked reluctantly.
'Don't say go back to Forks. Please, don't.' He thought. I frowned.
"Edward, I want to go back to Forks." I said quickly.
"No." He said softly.
I sighed. "Why!?" I asked.
"You know why Bella." He said, exasperated.
"Jake isn't a threat to me, Edward." I said softly.
"But the rest of the pack is!" He argued.
"Edward, Jake won't let anything happen to me!" I cried. I started pacing.
"Bella, you just can't take those chances with a werewolf! It was bad enough when you were human, but now they have a real reason to fight you!" Edward shouted, angry. I had never made him that angry before.
"Edward, you can trust him!" I said.
"No, I can't Bella! I refuse to let you get close to him-"
"You refuse to let me get close to him? I can take care of myself Edward!" I yelled.
"No, you can't!" He yelled back.
"Yes I can!" I shouted, my anger rising.
"Fine then! Go!" He shouted, growling at me.
"Fine, I will!" I growled back. I walked out of his room, and then I ran out of the house. It was about two, in the morning. I ran all the way to the airport. When I got there, I cursed myself for not having a passport or anything.
I walked up to the counter, where a normal looking guy was standing. He had to be about twenty three, which worked perfectly for me.
"Hi there." I said in a breathy voice.
He looked up quickly and said, "Oh, hi. How may I help you?" He asked, obviously eager to please.
"I need a plane to Washington." I said. He nodded.
"All right, I just need a passport…" I let a slow smile spread across my face.
"Can't we just…skip that part?" I asked. I pulled him closer and batted my eyelashes at him. He smiled and took a couple of deep breaths.
"Oh…um….sure….." He said, handing me my ticket. I smiled at him and walked off.
I made it to the plane without anymore trouble. I wanted to barf from even putting an idea into that guy's head, but I couldn't, so it didn't matter.
I boarded my plane without problems.
And a few hours later, I was landing in Washington. I was nervous. I wondered if it was wise at all to go back. But I knew that if I wet back, Edward would be proved right.
I ran to Forks. More accurately, I ran to Jake's house. It smelled like Jake, but only like him.
I went up and knock on the door. It was a few minutes before my knock was answered, but when the door opened, I gasped.
It was Jake, but he looked tired and sad. His eyes were red, as if he'd been crying.
I hugged him before I could think of it. His arms wrapped around me, and I felt warm. His touch burned me, as it had before, but now it was cooler, more comforting than before.
"Oh Bella." He whispered.
"What's wrong Jake?" I asked, a little afraid of what he would say.
" Oh Bella. Billy…he…he died." Jake whispered.
"Oh Jake, you poor thing." I murmured. I hugged him tighter. He started to cry, and we walked into his house. We sat on the couch and I rubbed his back as he cried.
"He die-died in his s-sleep. About a w-week ago." Jake said, hiccupping a he did.
"Oh Jake." I said again. I hugged him tighter. Just then, my damn phone went off. It was the new one that Edward had given me a few months back.
And, it was his ring tone.
"What?" I growled.
He sighed. "Bella, love, where are you?" He asked. He sounded worried, and tired.
"I'm in La Push. With Jake. Billy died. He…he needs me right now. Please, I'll come home soon." I whispered. I knew Jake heard me, but I wanted it said in a softer voice.
"Fine. But I'm coming-"
"No. Edward, stay in England. I'll be home soon, I swear. Please…" I was whispering again.
I heard him sigh. "Fine. Okay. But…Bella, I miss you. And, I love you." He said gently.
I smiled, even though he couldn't see it. "I love you too. If Ale asks, tell her I went to La Push. She'll understand." I said. He said he would, and then I hung up.
"What, sis you get in a fight?" Jacob asked. I nodded sadly.
"Yeah." I said. Jake smiled.
"About me?" He asked. I laughed.
"Yeah. I wanted to come-"
"And he didn't want you to." Jake said, finishing my sentence.
I faked shock. "Its like you were there!" I said. We both laughed, even though Jake still sounded sad.
Just then, Emily walked in. The ruined side of her face still startled me a little, but not much.
"Oh my God Bella. Its really you…" She said, starring at me.
I nodded. "Yeah. I came because I missed Jake." I said defensively.
Emily just shrugged. "Sam said he smelled a…vampire in the area, and wanted me to tell you about it." Jake nodded. I couldn't talk now. I was holding my breath. Emily, even if she smelled of wolves, was still human.
"I need to hunt." I blurted as I ran out of the house and deep into the woods.
Hey! I hoped you liked this one. I wanted to throw Jake into the mix again…and I did. So, please review. It might take me a little longer than usual to update, I'm feeling a little sick right now. Anyway, I'll try to update as soon as I can. Please review.
