I don't own this..I read over this and noticed like, heaps of errors, there hopefully fixed now, sorry I wrote it really late at night...
'Earth to Bella?' Jacob said, waving a hand in front of my face.
'Hm? Sorry... I was daydreaming.' I plastered a smile on my face hoping he would buy it.
From the look on his face I knew he didn't believe me, he knew me better than that, but he also knew that I didn't want to talk about it now. So thankfully he left it alone.
'Here, cut these up for me?' He asked, handing me some potatoes. I immediately started peeling them.
We worked silently side by side and once dinner was finally in the oven Jacob pulled me into the lounge room to watch some T.V. He was asleep within minutes and I just lay there, trying not to think too much about the pain I felt right now. I flicked aimlessly through the channels but nothing was able to hold my interest. I settled for some cooking show, watching half-heartedly.
I started daydreaming again and I was startled when I heard the phone ringing. I jumped up to get it.
'Hello?' I answered.
'Hello? Bella? Oh, Bella..It's soo good to hear your voice!' Alice was practically squealing with excitement.
'Alice!' I whispsered, unable to think of anything to say.
'Bella, did Jacob tell you? We're allowed to come back! We're coming on the first flight home!'
'Sam changed his mind?' I asked dumbly.
'Yeah, called just before to say we could come back...I'll talk to you when we get there OK?'
'Bye Alice.'
'Bye Bella..'
I hung up the phone and heard Jacob yawning behind me, 'What did Alice want?'
'Sam said they could come home.' I turned and smiled, it was tiny but for once I wasn't forcing it onto my unwilling face.
Jacob smiled back, 'Wonder what changed his mind?'
I shrugged my shoulders, 'Hmm...I'm just going to grab dinner out of the oven.'
Jacob turned towards the door, 'I'll eat with you, but then I want to go check in on the pack. OK?' As he turned back I saw a brief flash of worry in his eyes before he composed his features.
I didn't think about it too much he was probably just worried about the Cullen's coming back. 5 minutes after Jacob and I started dinner Charlie and Billy came through the door. We talked as we ate but when Jacob let them know about the Cullen's return Billy threw him a worried glance. Jacob averted his gaze and the conversation picked up again.
After dinner Jake and I volunteered to clean, so Billy and Charlie went to watch the game. Jacob started to help with the dishes but he kept throwing glances at the door, 'Jacob, go check on the pack...I'll be able to handle this.' I suggested.
'Thanks Bells.' He ducked down to kiss my cheek and then nearly ran out the door.
Once the kitchen was clean I went upstairs to take a shower, trying not to go crazy while Jacob was gone, he was reluctant to leave me as it was. But even after showering, shaving, brushing my teeth and blow drying my hair he still wasn't back. I knew Charlie would be too into the game to notice but I didn't want to go downstairs and draw attention to me being alone. I went to my room only to remember I had done all my homework. I pulled out one of my old tattered books and laid on my bed to read, unable to loose myself in the story.
Finally there was a knock at my door and Jake poked his head through. My heart started racing and I smiled. He walked forward and sat on the edge of my bed.
'How's the pack?' I asked.
His face was serious, anger visible in his eyes. 'Sam had, an ulterior motive...He thought if he brought the Cullen's over here he could fight them...'
'But the treaty!' I cried.
He shook his head, 'Sam doesn't care about the treaty Bells...'
'So do the Cullen's know?' I asked.
He shook his head, 'Sam wont hurt them...'
'You can't know that Jacob!' I begged, 'Please warn them.'
'I do know that...I gave him the order not to touch them...' Jacob said.
I sorted through his sentence trying to find out what he meant...'But only the Alpha can give orders right?'
He nodded slightly.
'So how can you order Sam around?' I asked slightly confused, a look at Jacob's worried eyes confirmed my suspicions, somehow Jacob had become Alpha. 'How?'
'I don't know, I just knew I needed to keep the Cullen's safe, I knew that to keep you sane they had to stay alive...It just sort of happened, I was so desperate it just happened. But Bella I hate it when Sam takes my will away, yet I took his, Paul's and Jared's away all in one night. We umm, we fought first though...' I gasped again as Jacob pulled up his top to show me the faded scars on his chest.
I wrapped my arms around him, 'What are you going to do now?'
He shrugged, 'I don't know how to lead the pack, but then I don't know how to fall back as Alpha, so I guess I don't have a choice.'
'It'll all work out...' I promised him.
