A/N: Two chapters up in one day! YAY! lol. It seems to be working for me right now, but that means nothing. So I'll be posting chapters like crazy.
To all my avid readers, and vampire haters, this just might be the best chapter yet! For those who love the Cullens, please dont flame me. I warn everybody that this is a slight hate Bella fic, and that is reflected in this chapter. It does get very entertaining though! So on with the Chapter!
Disclaimer: I own Cassady, and Abby, and thats it. I would like to own the wolf pack, but I dont. :( I love me wolves!
Chapter Eighteen- The Man I want to Be
Cassady stood next to Seth, looking around the quiet room. Billy and Sue had gone to bed earlier, and the rest of the pack passed out around the room. Jacob laid on the sofa, looking more worn down in his sleep than ever, causing Cassady to sigh. Seth looked at her and nodded, before pulling her out the house and to her hummer.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Seth finally said, after they got to the Welcome To Forks sign. Cassady nodded, eyes focused on the road, while her mind wandered back to the events that day had brought.
"I love him, Seth," Cassady whispered, gripping the steering wheel tightly. " He has hurt me, so badly, but he's hurting just as bad. I'm sick of this, and I'm going to put a stop to this." Seth nodded, watching his cousin intently.
"Why aren't you bringing him?" Cassady laughed.
"I'm crazy, not stupid, Seth. They guilt him all the time, and this time wouldn't be any different. He loves me, or he wouldn't have freaked out. I heard the conversation going on, or at least most of it. He cares, he doesn't know what to do though. He knows that he should give Bella up, but feels he must do this. He has to, because Bella might come back. I'm stuck in the middle." Cassady paused, stopping a block away from their house.
"I was in their way, and they manipulated him into coming, cause Jacob is a sucker for hurt women. Bella said the words first, not him. He loves her, but not like he used to. Piss me off enough, and I will walk away. They couldn't fight me anymore with the baby, knowing that Jacob would walk away anyway." Seth nodded respectfully.
"How would they get that much knowledge on you and him though?" Cassady laughed.
"Edward, and Jasper. Edward can read Jacob, because Jacob's not blocking him. So once he knew what I was like, Jasper could read my emotions, and push me toward them. Funny, huh?" Seth shook his head.
"Shouldn't you be going off on Jacob? Not them." Cassady nodded.
"Oh, he'll get his too. Don't worry." Cassady started the car again, going silent. They drove up to the house, getting out of the car and knocking the door.
Jasper opened the door, glaring before the door even got open, as Cassady smiled at him. Jasper went to slam the door in her face, only to get Seth's arm blocking it from closing.
"What impolite mannerism's, Mr. Hale. Let me in, we have business to discuss," Cassady said nicely, as Seth pushed the door open. Jasper let go of the door, and Cassady walked in to see the Cullen clan standing off to the side. Bella stood by a door, with the baby in her arms, glaring at Cassady.
"Well, it's been a while since I saw you all last," Cassady said cheerfully, bouncing towards them in an abnormal mannerism. Edward frowned, obviously upset, as she stood in front of all them, Seth's hand on her shoulder.
"Not long enough, slut," Jasper mumbled, getting a growl from Seth, as Cassady laid a hand on his hand.
"Now, Jasper, you've had a week to get more original in your insults. It seems you are VERY bad at this finding insults thing," Cassady said, smiling the whole time.
"Why are you here?" Alice snapped, causing Cassady to smile wider.
"I don't like you guys," Cassady said, as the Cullen clan frowned.
"We don't like you either, what's the point?" snapped Edward, as Cassady moved Seth off her shoulder.
"Now, I couldn't figure out why you guys wouldn't like me. What would make the Cullen clan accept, and BE NICE to the pack, but not the Alpha Female? What kind of crap is that, right?" Cassady laughed, "I had enough time to think about it. I make you nervous. Jacob would do anything for Bella, and would even sacrifice his pack for her. The pack was under your control as long as SHE was loved by him."
"Where do you get this idea from Cassady?" Carlisle Cullen said for the first time ever. Cassady looked at him, smiling.
"I was a cop. I looked in to where Bella claimed that she went, and that's not where she went. She'd been in trouble with other vampires before, why not now too? You care a lot about her, and she is important to you. She was probably in trouble. So when the trouble was gone, hey, whatever, right? Nope, she gets pregnant. Jacob is needed again. That's where I come in. I was his imprint, and from what you knew about Imprinting, he couldn't abandon me." Seth put his hand on Cassady's shoulder.
"But, you knew," Cassady pointed at Edward, " that Jacob and I had some problems. He didn't conceal his thoughts about us and our fighting, ever. So it wasn't that hard to guess that he still loved Bella. When you found out, I don't know how, but you did. You sent Jasper, knowing his distrust toward you, and had Jasper ask. Jasper used guilt, and once the guilt was set, it was easy to amplify. Jacob felt guilty, and missed her and all of a sudden, we're fighting again. Jacob comes over, he sees her and all of a sudden, he's back in her arms." They looked stoically at her, while Seth's frown got bigger.
"Are you here to accuse us, or is there a point behind this visit?" Bella asked, a slightly nasty tone to her voice, as Cassady pointedly ignored her.
"So, now that we all know the history as to what caused me to be here. Lets get in to why I'm actually here. See, Jacob came home a week ago, talking about how Bella has been changed, even though it's against the treaty. Sam let it go, instead of killing you all like he was supposed to. He didn't do it for Jacob, he didn't do it for you, he did it for me. YOU. OWE. ME!" Cassady said slowly, making sure to accent the owing part. "I'm here to claim it. It took me a week to decide what to do, but I made my choice last night, when Jacob was crying about Bella."
"We owe you nothing, mongrel!" Emmett growled, as Seth bared his teeth at him, giving Cassady a reason to smack him.
"Seth, behave. Please. We're not here to defend my honor. Emmett, is it? Yes, you owe me, and if you don't do what I ask, I can promise, I will eliminate a threat. I would prefer not being in Jacob's bad books." Cassady smiled, "Plus, I'm going to become your best friend! So, what I need is for you guys to tell him what you did to him, along with an apology, a sincere one, and then for you to leave him alone until I say otherwise. It will be supervised too. Get it, got it, good." Cassady turned to walk away, when she heard Seth growl, and turned just in time to get a hand wrapped around her throat.
"You're here because you feel threatened by me, because Jacob will always love me over you, even though you're his imprint!" Bella snarled, tightening her hold, as Cassady held up a hand at Seth, who whimpered.
"Threatened? No. Jealous? I was. Annoyed? Most definitely. But now I have something you can't give him. I have something that he will not walk away from, and that's all I needed. All I needed was a REASON for him to spend time with me. A reason for him to accept me, and get to know were meant to be, Bella." Cassady laughed. "That must annoy you so much, Bella. Knowing that Jacob would have been yours if Fate had just allowed it, and for it to go and give it to me? My jealousy doesn't even come close to yours right about now. You had him from me, and here I come, pregnant with his kid. He won't abandon his kid. You knew that, and you were almost lucky. He would have hated me soon, cause I was going to kill it. I didn't want it." Bella snarled.
"Too bad Billy convinced me to keep it, huh? He'd probably be here with you and Eddy-poo, taking care of the little hybrid, but he's not," Cassady said tauntingly, even though it was getting harder to breath due to Bella's hand.
"He'll learn quickly enough, Cassady, that you're nothing but a two bit whore. He always came back to me. ALWAYS!" Bella yelled. "Why? Because he wants me. He hates imprinting, and he hates being in it with you. He told me so, himself. He told me about how he fought it off for me. How he hates you, and now that you're pregnant, it'll just get worse."
The door opening and slamming closed alerted the group that someone else had just came in. From the look on Seth's face, it wasn't necessarily a good thing either. Cassady felt the breath leave her, as Bella lost control of her grip and tightened. Jacob and Sam strode in to the room, both shirtless, and both wearing a frown. Jacob growled as he entered the room, walking over to Bella, and ripping her hand off Cassady's neck as she fell to the ground, eyes closed, and gasping.
"I did not say that Bella, we both know that. What have you done?" Jacob snarled at her. Cassady tried to sit up, only for her to start coughing. Sam walked over to her, pushing her down, and petting her head.
"Jacob, she's crazy. She threatened us, and threatened to take you from me," Bella whimpered at him, as Cassady was finally able to convince Sam to let her sit up.
"Tell him, damn you. I'm sick of this-" Cassady began coughing hysterically. " You lying sack of shits!" Jacob looked at her, before looking at Bella, and then back at her.
"There is nothing to tell, Jacob, this woman is crazy," Carlisle stated, as Cassady began to cry, rubbing her throat. Sam looked at Jacob, who sighed.
"Too bad I heard most of it. See, Cassady has this habit of purposefully opening the pack mind to everything, including her sight. She can also pick and choose who she wants to hear. She let me hear, Sam hear, and Seth hear and see everything tonight, knowing that I wasn't sleeping when she left. She wanted me to see your body language most of all," Jacob stated, shaking his head.
"Cassady, I'm sorry," Jacob said, as Cassady began to cry harder, getting Sam and Seth growling at him. " I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I'm sorry I abandoned you. I'm sorry you're in this situation with these people, and I swear it, I never said those words to Bella." Cassady nodded, tears sliding down her face. Jacob looked at Bella, eyes narrowed in anger.
"See, I didn't realize how much of an influence you had on me, until I left the last time. Cassady was fighting for me. She was paying attention to me, and she stood there, took insults, derogatory names, and abandonment from me, once again. You had me so convinced the sun shone out your ass, that I never thought about her. 'Oh, but Jacob, I'm hurting', or 'I'm so cold, Jacob', never once did you mention her, or her feelings. She was willing to accept yours, and even the fact that you were hurting, and she got shit. " Jacob looked around the room.
"You knew she was pregnant when she walked in that door, Edward, and instead of telling me to hear her out, like a real man would have, you sat there. Let me make a fool of myself, in an attempt to keep me here. I should have her, and that was my fault, but you had every attempt to tell me to shut up and listen, and I would have." Jacob began lightly shaking.
"Then seeing you try to lie to her tonight, even though it was obvious, and most likely thinking you got away with it, because she didn't have me with her, and you didn't owe her. She saved your asses, including Renesme's. Remember that!" Jacob yelled, causing Bella to flinch. " Bella, how could you? You are the one I am most shocked with. Lying to her, and being a bitch to her, after you were the one telling me that I need to move on, that you're with Edward, and telling me that you loved Edward more than me. That one day I would find my imprint, and move on. I did, Bella, quit treating her like shit!" Bella shook her head.
"Jacob, she's fucking crazy. There is no way you could love someone like her. She's brash, rude, bitchy, and probably fucking your buddies with the way they all act around her. Are you sure the kid is yours?" Bella snapped at Jacob.
"You psychotic bitch, the pack is related to her in some way. The only people who aren't are Jacob, Sam, Paul, and Jared, and even then three of four have imprinted, and the fourth loves her like a sister. No one questioned your kid when you got pregnant, even though there should have been a lot of suspicions," Seth snarled at her, while Cassady grabbed his leg to keep him from attacking her.
"Yes, that baby is mine, Bella, get off your fucking high horse. You have Edward, you made your choice. I would have tried to make it work with you had you wanted me. No, you walked away, stop calling me back. I was moving on, I am moving on." Jacob said, looking at the group. "You need me, you are going to have to talk to Cassady, and with what you did, you better be fucking lucky I don't rip all your asses to shreds. You owe her your life, for the second time, because I know that she didn't want bloodshed. Sadly, her own body got hurt in the process. We're leaving now." Jacob grabbed one side, while Sam grabbed another, and helped her to her feet , wrapping an arm around her waist when she was standing on two feet.
"Jacob, please, I love you. You're my best friend," Bella yelled, running across the room at him, only to get Cassady in her face.
"I am so sick of you. Get away from him, get away from me, and I swear that the next time I see you, I won't shoot you, get it?" Cassady snarled, as Jacob grabbed one of her arms.
"Threaten me again, you dirty slut!" Bella yelled, as Edward grabbed her midsection.
"Or what you two timing shiny assed whore? You'll kill me? Before or after you get gang banged?" Jacob pulled her closer to him, as Sam's jaw dropped, and Seth snickered.
"Where do you get this shit, babe?" Jacob mumbles, as Bella stood with her jaw dropped.
"I'll only get gang banged when you do, slut. Probably headed home to test it out," Bella called back, as Cassady laughed.
"At least it will be with real men, I've been meaning to ask you does it feel like an icicle when you stick it in, but now, they won't be able to tell." The boys held them back, as Bella went for Cassady again.
"Better than fucking a mammal!" Bella yelled back, as Cassady laughed, leaning in to Jacob.
"Yeah, fucks like an animal too. Feels fucking great. How long did it take you get Edward to pop a boner bitch? Kinda hard when you have no blood flow." Jacob's eye brows shot up, while the other two started snickering harder.
"Keep me out your mouth, bitch," Edward snarled at her, as Cassady laughed harder.
"Says the man who sparkles more than a disco ball in sunlight. You're right honey, Vampires are dangerous, they have sharp teeth go 'RAWR!', and BLIND YOU WITH THERE SPARKLING LIGHTS! Quick close your eyes before you go blind!" Cassady screamed, as the boys were no longer able to hold back their laughter.
"Cullen Cult, I don't have time to deal with you, or your bad insults. Jacob, take me home so I can fuck all of you guys like they said I would, and get some much needed sleep." Jacob calmed his laughing down, before picking her up, bridal style, and carrying her out the house. Seth and Sam followed from behind, as he put her in the hummer, and got in the driver's side.
Cassady stared off in to space as they drove off toward La Push. Cassady looked over at Jacob, before sighing.
"I'm not done, yet. Jacob, let's talk," Jacob nodded. "I love you, and to be truthful, these past two weeks have been rougher than fucking hell. I'm tired of fighting over her. I really am. Either you lover me, or you don't. I need to know, so I know whether I'm staying or I'm going." Jacob stared at the road.
"I love you, Cassady. It's not because of the baby, or the imprint," tears started to roll down Jacob's cheek, "I couldn't see past the idea of Bella being gone. I should have been there. I really should have been, but I can't change the past. I know you probably don't believe me right now, but I'll prove it. I will, just don't go." Cassady glances at the rearview mirror, to see Sam nodding his head.
"I'll stay, and I believe you. If I didn't, I wouldn't have fought for you," Cassady whispered, as Jacob glanced over at her.
"Damn, aren't we hard headed?" Jacob grumbled, laughingly.
"Yeah, but we'll work it out."
A/N: OOOOHHH! lmao. Finally a concession, and Jacob backing off Bella? WHAT? lmao. Let me know what you thought of the insults and the fights, and JACOB'S reaction!
ALSO! Thinking about doing a small one shot on Cassady and Sam, I had the random urge. Let me know what you think and I'll decide what to do from there!
