Chapter Nineteen- Why does love always feel like a Battlefield?
Cassady stood at a bridge in Port Angeles, watching the river flow underneath. She was five weeks pregnant now, and the throwing up was at it's peak. Jacob was wonderful, especially towards the baby, but the emptiness, the sadness in his eyes broke her heart. So she ran, and ran until she ended up in Port Angeles. Everyone knew where she was, and knew how to get a hold of her if need be, but she needed a moment. She needed a moment to get away, and not face the emotions that she knew were there.
Jacob loved Bella. Even in her own twisted way, Bella loved Jacob. He hadn't seen her, or heard from her since the fight two weeks ago, and it's starting to be noticeable. Cassady sighed again, feeling the urge to throw up, but resisting. She wasn't close enough to a toilet to do that, and she wasn't puking over a bridge. That was definitely a no no.
'Cause I want it that way; Tell me why," Cassady pressed a button on her phone and put it to her ear.
"What Sam?" She said into the phone, walking back towards her car parked at the side of the road. If Sam was calling, her vacation was up.
"The disco balls called. The female diamond wants to meet with you," Sam snarled in to the phone, evidently on the edge of going off. Cassady climbed in the car, and put it on speaker.
"What did future crystal balls say to you?" Cassady asked, knowing that wasn't the whole conversation, and needing that conversation to tell whether or not to go.
"That bitch told me that she needed to see you about Jacob, and that you had to come alone. She's getting on my last damn nerve, Cass. Im going to murder her at some point," Sam snarled, as Cassady sighed. A week after the massive fight at the Cullens, Sam and the pack were receiving problems within their jobs, schools, and even getting verbally attacked by the Cullens while in Forks. With the way Sam was acting, it was evident that Bella had once again insulted Emily.
"Ok, where did she say to meet, and when?" Cassady stopped at the red light, and rubbed her face. Nights were hardest on her, as she was consumed with immense guilt. Jacob had night patrol with Sam, and was always there in the morning with her. She didn't sleep much anymore, and even when he was there, she pretended until she was positive he was asleep.
"Cassady, you shouldn't meet with her by yourself. It's not safe. Especially after the whole Jacob thing, we don't know how she will react to everything. Jacob wouldn't-" Cassady felt herself growl.
"She didn't call for Jacob, she fucking wanted me. Now where the fuck did she want to meet and when?" Cassady heard shifting and growl, as Emily came on the phone.
"She wants to meet in half an hour at the meadows. Cassady, please-" Cassady cut off the phone, driving towards the meadows. She had enough time to drive there.
'We're just a couple animals, so come on baby get in' Cassady picked up her phone and pressed the button once more.
"What, Jacob?" She asked with a sigh to her voice.
"You're not meeting with her," He growled out, as Cassady made another turn.
"Yes, I am," she said, glancing at the clock; she had five more minutes.
"Cassady, what if she hurts you? What about the baby? Get your ass back home." Cassady shook her head, as she looked at the phone.
"I'll be fine, Jacob. Don't worry. I'll see you when I get home," She said, parking a mile away from the fields, and sitting there.
"Cassady-" She hung up, jumping out the car, and running toward the fields. She made it on time, seeing Bella and Edward standing there.
Cassady walked closer, as Jasper and Emmett came up behind her. Alice stood off to the side, with Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie, who was holding a bigger baby. Cassady shook her head. They had been keeping watch on the childs growth, worried about what it would become, but it just seemed like a baby. Cassady couldn't kill her, she was so cute. Cassady faced Bella when she got a certain distance, attempting to get Emmett and Jasper off her ass.
"Is there a particular reason you are giving my pack a heart attack by having me out here by myself?" Cassady snapped, as Emmett grasped her arm.
"Yes, there is, but we have many things to discuss," Bella said, walking close to Cassady. "Lets start with Jacob. I want him back, and even though I've hurt him ,he misses me. We both know it, and I don't know why you're kidding yourself. Give up, and give him back."
Cassady shook her head. " He's been allowed to see you for a week now. That was his decision. Seems like sparkling pussy isn't that interesting to him; I'm sorry." Bella walked over to Cassady and smacked her, causing Cassady's head to snap to the side.
"I told you to give him back, damn it!" Bella yelled, as Cassady looked at her.
"And I told you, that he had that choice, and he stayed with me. You've a giant crystal ball over there and you can't figure that out?"Cassady pointed to Alice. Cassady felt a punch to the back of her knees, as Jasper's face showed rage.
"Damn it," Edward stated, as he leaned in front of Cassady.
"Look, Bitch, we need help. We need Jacob's help, and the pack's help. We can't do that if he's ignoring her, due to you. Now be a good little wolf whore, and do as we say," Edward snarled, as Cassady shook her head.
"Selective hearing is a bitch, did you know that? I told you I don't have that restriction on him anymore." Cassady felt the arm that Emmett had crack as he yanked it back. Cassady bit her lip, blood pouring into her mouth.
"Keep lying, and we're going to keep hurting you. I've got a kid that needs help, and you're preventing it. Your order can not hold if you don't live to keep it there," Edward snarled as Cassady shook her head.
"The order is not up anymore. He's had his freed-" Cassady felt her other snap in two, and bit her lip again. She felt the blood pour down her chin, as the pain echoed through her body.
"DO AS I SAID!" Edward yelled, as he kicked her face, creating a scream from her. Cassady spit out a portion of her lip that had been in her mouth at the time. Cassady shook her head, earning her a swift kick to the back. Cassady cried out, leaning over tucking her legs underneath her.
"Please, stop, the baby!" She screamed, as another kick went to her back. Her arms lay uselessly by her, just emitting pain to her already pain ridden body. Edward laughed, as Cassady looked up to see Bella in front of her.
"Shut up! That useless excuse of a bastard will not make it if you don't live," Bella giggled, as Cassady shook her head, crying. "Jacob will blame you for it, and it will be all your fault again." Cassady felt another swift kick to the back, before she felt the kick to her jaw. The last thing Cassady remembered was thinking about Jacob. Thinking about the sacrifices that must be made, and thinking about Jacob. Jacob could have Bella back now. Jacob could love again. She thought this as she hit the ground, and the darkness overtook her.
Jacob raced toward the meadows, not able to catch Cassady's scent as well due to the crazy amount of stuff that she sprayed on her way there. Jacob found the truck, where it smelled like alcohol, and disinfectant, making him sneeze; He covered his nose with a jacket, that just so happened to be Cassady's. He used that as a base scent to find her, where everything smelled different. As he found another scent close to hers, he heard the scream. He changed in to wolf form, taking off at a faster rate.
Cassady- Jacob called out
Have you found her?- Sam said, running towards him.
I hear her, oh god, I hear her!- Jacob snarled, as Cassady started pleading.
Jacob, Sam, calm down, We need to figure out a plan- Paul called out, as Jacob got to the edge of the trees, giving him the perfect visual of Cassady kneeling on the ground, shivering. Her arms were twisted back oddly, and blood spilled all over her face. Bella was yelling at her, telling her it was her fault. The baby would die. Jacob watched as Emmett kicked Cassady in the back, before Bella kicked her in the jaw, and Cassady fell to the side. She shivered, and stopped moving speared through Jacob's body, as his inner wolf howled, even as his outer wolf was to hurt to do anything.
Fuck, Jacob, come on man. I need you to attack them- Jared called out, as Jacob stood there whimpering.
Jacob, we are losing her, you have to fight that.- Sam called out, as out of nowhere thoughts appeared. Pictures of Bella and Jacob together, Jacob playing with the baby; Pictures of Him standing over Cassady's body, and instead of looking hurt, he was mad.
Fuck, Jacob, man, we're not close enough. She doesn't have enough strength to fight the mind, fight this pain, and go to her- Seth called out, as Jacob watched another kick to her.
Jacob, I'm sorry, I tried, please god forgive me. Don't let Jacob be mad at me. I did it for the pack.- she cried out in her mind, unaware of the boys. Jacob felt another stab of pain, but instead of letting it over take him, he let his inner wolf take over.
Jacob saw red, as he ran toward Bella, meeting Edward instead, and taking a chunk out of his arm. Bella jumped back, as did Jasper, and Emmett, as Jacob ran toward Cassady, who lay unmoving, unthinking. Jacob looked over at the group, growling, ready to pounce.
Jacob stop!- Sam ordered. Jacob felt himself stop, even though the urge was still there. He turned back to look at Cassady, who was bleeding heavily from her mouth. He licked her cheek, knowing it annoyed her, but made her giggle. This time she didn't move. Jacob whimpered, and nudged her with his nose, not getting any movement, or noise.
Sam, oh god, she's not moving. She's not making noise, or moving. She can't die on me- Jacob, as he felt the rest of the pack come in to the field.
Jacob, I need you to stand by me, in her place. Come on man, you can do this- Sam said, though the roughness was there. He barely held on to control. Jacob looked over at Seth, who was walking slowly over, eyes glued on his cousin. Before anyone could stop him, Seth attacked Emmett. They watched in horror as he was flung to the side, hitting a tree full force, whimpering, before going quiet altogether.
Seth, you there?-Sam asked, getting no response, as Quill walks over to Seth, nudging him to get nothing. Paul stood over Cassady, growling at Jasper, who attempted to walk closer.
"Oh, give it up, Paul you never even liked her!" Edward snarled.
Paul growled at him low and deep in his chest.
Stay the fuck away from her- Paul growl, as Jasper got a little bit closer.
Carlisle, as head of this clan, why are you allowing them to torture our kind?- Sam asked, looking at Carlisle but aiming it at Edward.
"He wants to know why we hurt her," Edward said, smirking.
"Sam, She was a threat, and a problem to us, we had to eliminate her," Carlisle stated calmly, even though Jacob had jumped in front of Sam. Jacob changed back to human form, as the truck pulled up.
"A threat? A FUCKING THREAT? She was by herself, unarmed, and-" A scream interrupted Jacob from his tirade as he turned to see Leah as a wolf, snarling at the Cullens, and Abby screaming. Emily ran over to Cassady, carefully moving her on to her back, sobbing.
"Oh, god, no, please, Cassady," Emily cried, as she petted Cassady's head.
"Get to your fucking house Cullen's. If you're not there when we come to find you, I swear to god I will hunt you down and rip you to shreds myself," Jacob snarled, as he changed back to find chaos in the wolf pack mind.
Jacob, grab Cassady, and put her in the truck, first row, back seat. Paul follow them to their house and monitor them. Leah, you gotta calm down hun, you have to, Seth and Cassady are fine, and I need you sane for a minute. Quil, get Seth and put him in the back seat. Embry, grab the other truck Cassady was driving and get Emily, Leah, Abby, and the twins.- Sam ordered, as everyone hurried to their positions.
Jacob and Sam changed back, walking nakedly towards the car. Cassady laid limply in Jacobs arms, as Jacob shaked with the urge to change again, the pain of losing an imprint getting unbearable. He sat her in the truck nicely, before turning and getting dressed in shorts and tennis shoes, and jumping in the truck.
Quil sat next to Seth, lightly tapping the boys face, who was finally getting to the point of response. Jacob sat up front, though his eyes were glued to the review mirror. She looked peaceful for the first time in days. She hadn't been sleeping. He knew it. He knew it when he would walk in the room, and she would finally stop moving.
He tried to show her that it wasn't Bella he wanted, that there was no guilt, or hurt. He was missing the strong Cassady he had first seen. The one who knew no bounds; the one who smiled, and laughed. He felt the tears slide down his face. God, he would do anything if she made it. He'd do anything he had to do to make sure she lived. He glanced down at her stomach, where her twisted arms lay, and shook hard. He looked away when he felt Sams eyes land on him. The tears got worse, as they made the trip to Port Angeles hospital.
"She loves you, Jacob," Sam whispered, as Jacob looked at him, tears falling down his face.
"I'm going to lose her, Sam. I haven't had the chance to tell her I love her. I haven't had the chance to show her I'm sorry. Oh, god, I'm losing my whole life, and my family in one go," Jacob began to sob, as Sam drove faster.
"She's not going to die, Jacob. She'll live, and the baby will live, and everything will be ok," Sam said, as he made a sharp turn, less than a mile away from the hospital.
"I can't lose her," Jacob cried, as Sam stopped in front of the Emergency Room, as doctors rolled out to meet them. They removed her from the car cautiously, putting neckbraces on her, along with several other tools.
They rolled her in to the building, as Jacob looked in from the outside. Tears streamed down his face, as he began to walk into a never-ending nightmare.
A/N: O.K. so... new drama, lots of hate for the cullens... I'll bring them back around to the good side... at some point... lmao. When I feel like it. When I think that they deserve it... When reality final hits.
