Chapter 7: The End
11:18 PM
(Bella's POV)
I was still driving on the wolves' land. I wasn't to First Beach yet. I didn't want to. I was driving slower than usual. I didn't want to go home, but I couldn't be there with Jake anymore. I had to get out of there; I had a lot to think about. So I let my mind wander.
I knew I was sure. I knew I needed Edward to live. I knew I wanted to be his forever. I knew I was ready to marry him and to be changed into a vampire. I knew I was ready to give up on everything else. I was ready to leave Forks, my parents and friends too never see them again. Also I was ready to leave Jacob.
Jacob.
How can you go from loving no one to being in love with two people at the same time? They were the two most important persons in my life. I had to choose between them. How was this fair?
Why was this happening to me?
I could almost hear the music from the party at the beach.
I knew my choice was made and that I had chosen the right thing. Everything was set, and I was ready; but I couldn't leave Jacob like that. Alone, thinking that I didn't want to see or talk to him anymore. I couldn't. I loved him, but I knew I was supposed to hate him after I was changed.
Could I? Would I?
I sighed and stopped. The music was now loud enough for me to try to focus on what I was thinking. Better like that. I stood there for like an hour, crying, destroying all the walls I had built to restrain the thoughts, the concern and the pain.
I knew I needed to do something; but what? Something was missing, I knew it.
I felt like there was something left for me to do first before I get married. But, what was it? I rummaged my mind, but nothing came. I had tried every single thing in the world and I still couldn't think of anything else. The thought made the tears come down my cheeks faster. I was devastated.
Why? Why me? Why now? Why?
I took a few breaths and headed to my truck. It was cold, but it was not raining. I was going to go home now. I had a lot more crying to do, and I wasn't doing it here, in the cold. No. I needed home. I needed the comfort and the warmth. The last part made me shiver.
Then I saw it. A flash and screeching wheels, I couldn't react, I had no time. I heard screams a thud, and saw the sky. Then everything went black.
12:45 AM
(Jacob's POV)
It all happened at the same time.
"Help!" Someone yelled far away.
"Jacob!" Billy whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes. I had fallen asleep on the couch.
"What happened dad? Who's yelling out there?"
"There was an..." He hesitated for a moment "Accident"
"Where?"
"On the road next to First Beach"
"Who...?" I trailed.
I know I didn't want to know the answer.
"Bella." He mouthed, unable to generate a single sound.
I jumped off of the couch. I heard my dad say something, but I couldn't understand. I was already slamming the door closed. I ran as fast as I could to the woods and let my other self take over, and ran even faster.
"Sam?"
"Jake. It's about time." I focused on hearing his thoughts and trying to see through his eyes. I saw the huge red truck at the end of the woods, Sam was in the forest. He didn't want anyone to see him, but I didn't care.
"Jacob, don't." He used his alpha voice.
"Sam, please. I'm begging. Please understand" I pleaded
"Jake, it's too dangerous. You understand. I know how much Bella means to you and to me too, believe it or not. But, I just can't let you go out there while you are in wolf form."
"But Sam…"
"No. Phase back. Bring her to the woods, then we'll help her from here, okay?"
"Okay."
When I reached the border of the forest, I did what he ordered me to do. I put on a pair of sweatpants and ran towards a small ball that was lying on the middle of the road.
"Bella!" I yelled.
I got close as fast as I could, and looked at her.
"Oh, Bella please! Open your eyes don't do this to me, Bella! Please! Don't leave me, you can't! You are strong, fight, don't leave me!" I yelled, desperate. "Don't. Please" I whispered, trying to control the tears that flowed down my cheeks.
She had passed out. Or that's what I hoped. She had blood on her nose, forehead, ears and mouth. Her neck was also covered with the red liquid, along her chest, arms and stomach.
I ran to the forest as fast as I could, careful not to make her injuries worse; then I found Sam. I placed Bella on his back carefully and helped him walk to the house. I knew Bella would be more comfortable on Sam's back rather than in my arms, so it didn't bother me that much. We took her to his place, where Emily was waiting for us. She led us to the end of their house, to a tiny room. The walls were pure white and the floor was made of light woods. The curtains were long and white, it looked like a nursery, but the bed was big and covered with white bedclothes that seemed fluffy and comfy. Then Sam came to the room in his human form.
"Bring some towels!" Yelled Emily before he could make any sound, and he turned on his heels and ran.
"Jake, call the doctor, the Quileute doctor" She screeched
"But…" I protested
"Go, Jake. I'll take care of her." She urged "Hurry!" She yelled when she saw that I was not moving.
I dashed to the living room, grabbed the phone and called the doctor. I quickly explained what had happened and when he assured me he was on his way I hung up the phone and went back to the tiny white room. When I got there, Sam and Emily were cleaning the blood off of Bella's face, she was still not moving. I got close to Sam.
"She will make it, Jake. She is strong. Don't worry" He whispered.
I was speechless, trying to fight back the tears that didn't let me see clearly.
2:30 AM
Time went by, and there was nothing new yet.
I was sitting on the hospital's floor, waiting for the doctor to come out again, with better news this time.
Last time, he said that Bella had hit her head pretty bad and had a lot of broken ribs, a destroyed right arm, and crushed left ankle, apart from several bruises and concussion. He also said that she was not going to wake up soon, that she was in some kind of coma, and that she may have memory loss. Apart from that she was fine. I just couldn't deal with this anymore. I felt like dying right there, but I knew I had to be strong for Bella's sake. That was the only thing that kept me alive. So here I am comforting Charlie and telling him everything was going to be ok. Even, if I wasn't sure of myself.
As soon as I had called the doctor, I called Charlie and told him everything. He immediately made his way to the reservation, and it all passed in a blur. At first, he was trying to blame me for what had happened to Bella, and I was willing to take all the blame, but Sam somehow calmed him down telling him that if he really wanted blame anyone, then he should go straight to the Forks' kids, whose party had been the reason of all of this and that's what he did. He called Mike Newton and ordered him to get the name of as many kids he and his friends could remember.
He then called all the chiefs of Seattle and Port Angeles so they could help in collecting all the names. After he hung up, he said that the next day he was going to arrest the responsible drunk driver of the black episode. No matter what and I was with him. I was never going to let any other bad thing happen to Bella.
Nothing.
3:42 AM
I had talked with Sam over and over, but I wasn't sure about how he would react. I knew I was being selfish, but I wanted her so bad that the idea was starting to sound not so evil anymore.
"Jake, go. There's nothing you can lose, and you know we will all be there for you if something happens" Sam mumbled.
"I don't know Sam, I…"
"Just do it, man. Go and try to convince him. If he doesn't say no, if he says he will consider it, we will have Billy talk to him, alright? Don't worry, Jake" He assured me, placing a hand on my arm.
I squared my shoulders and walked towards him.
"Charlie" I called my voice sure and strong enough.
"Look, Jacob, I'm sorry that I yelled at you that way, but you have to understand that this is too much for me and…"
"I know, and I understand and that is exactly why I am going to ask you something." I looked at him, but he didn't say a thing, he just stared at me, so I continued "I… I don't want Bella to be in any kind of danger ever again, and you know that I love her and that I could take care of her… so… I thought… that if it is true that she will have amnesia, maybe she could start from scratch… like for example…" I cleared my throat; this was worse than I had expected "she could start by moving in to the reservation and…"
"Well, you know what would this mean?" He asked, thoughtful. At least he didn't seem mad. I shook my head. "He would forget about Cullen, and fall in love with you instead"
"Exactly." I smiled, relieved that he was getting to the point.
"I don't know Jake, I…"
"You don't have to answer right now, Charlie." I interrupted him "Take your time and think it over, but keep in mind that it would be for Bella's good. She would be far away from that lee- I mean, Edward and she could start all over again. With me, and with her real family. Just think about it. Decide whenever you are ready"
At that exact moment the doctor came out again, my sudden excitement and happiness totally faded.
"Isabella is stable now" Everyone sighed in relief; I closed my eyes and smiled. "So I suggest you all go and have some sleep, she won't be waking up any time soon. Visits may start tomorrow morning. Just one more thing: Who is staying with her for the night?"
"I will" I didn't care less about what Charlie would say later. I looked at him, and he had his mouth hanging open, but he didn't say anything. That was good.
The doctor smiled and said "All right, so follow me. Goodnight everyone!" I waved them all goodbye and followed the doctor to Bella's room.
I got in there and the beeping of the machines at the side of her bed was shockingly strong, it looked like she had more devices than one single person needed. I had to control myself. I was enraged. Stupid, drunk, irresponsible boys. If I ever got my hands on any of them… they would regret the day they were born.
"… and this is the button you will need to press if something unusual happens, anyways, a nurse will be checking on her every 2 hours or so. So you don't have to worry too much. My name is Doctor Peter Smith, and I will be her doctor until she gets full recovery of herself"
"Okay, thank you Doctor Smith"
"Now rest, and have a good night" He said, heading to the door, then he stopped and turned to look at me once more "May I ask you one question? It's just curiosity, don't take me wrong…"
"Go ahead, doc"
"Are you her boyfriend?" I laughed, that question just sounded so good, there were no words to describe it. I felt like I was flying.
"Kind of" And he smiled shyly and disappeared. I sighed, turned around and walked to Bella's bed.
I couldn't bear to look at Bella for more than five seconds. I knew that image of her, so broken, so damaged, so hopeless, would haunt me for the rest of my life. I sat on the couch and tried to erase that from my memory, while my cheeks were soaked with the salty liquid that held my love for the woman lying in the bed.
A/N: Stupid freaking alcohol u.u.
So yeah, Jake is evil and selfish, but still, in love. THE TWIST NONE OF YOU EXPECTED mwaaaaaahahahahaha :)
REVIEW PLEASE!
Ellie.
