Bella's POV
"Stop it Bella," Mark hissed at me.
"I wasn't doing anything," I said looking down at my hands.
"Don't play stupid," He said rolling his eyes.
"I don't understand you Mark," I said sighing loudly. "Do you have some mood changes you didn't warn us about? Or Is it that time of the month?" Joseph laughed loudly.
"Emma can let you borrow some protection against the leakage Bro," He snickered and Emma turned red.
"Don't embarrass the girl," I said to my brother.
"Sorry," He said holding in the laughter, he didn't even stop joking around when it came to his girlfriend.
"Whatever. Look B," Mark said shrugging off my tease and Joseph's amusement. "She hurt you, as did Edward Cullen. I don't understand why your longing for her to walk up to you and apologize. Blondie doesn't look like the type that would lower to that level," I heard a small hiss form across the room. I slapped Mark across the head.
"Do we have to talk about this here?" I asked him taking a quick glance towards the table on the far left corner, occupied by five beautiful vampires. "You seem to forget that we vamps have great hearing," I said rolling my eyes. Like I wanted Rosalie to know how pathetic I feel. Or Am.
"Why couldn't you just love me?" Mark said. Joseph dropped Emma's hand, he was playing thumb wrestle with her; letting her win obviously, Luis and Sarah stared back at me. I could feel the other five topaz eyes boring holes onto my back. But the stare that gave my heart a wrenching tug was Mark's.
"What?" I said shockingly. "I-I"
"I love you," Mark whispered. His eyes were looking deeply into mine. "I always have, since the day I met you. There was nothing more that I have ever dreamed of, nothing more that I ever desired than you." He said confessing his non brotherly love for me.
"But why?" I asked slowly. What could he possibly see in plain Bella? "There's so many beautiful vampires out there, or humans," I said pointing at Emma.
"I don't want anyone else. I don't want any humans," He said. "I want you. I love you. I need you," He said, he reached over and took my hand. "I never thought of you as my sister. How could I? How could you not see that? I never treated you or acted the way Joe does with you? Because every time I touched you, every time I held you I never wanted to let you go," He continued.
"Mark," I said softly. "I cant…I don't-" Before I could say anything else to my not-so brother the bell rang. Thank you Nathan King!
"We'll…see you later," I grabbed my board and ran a little faster than human speed to my Spanish class.
"Bella!"
What am I going to do? Although his love for me isn't so surprising, since Cullen mentioned it to me before. But it was different now that he confessed it to me. It made it real. He actually did love me.
"Bella!" I ran to my classroom shutting the door behind me as I heard Emma's voice coming closer. I expected she wanted to talk about this. I also expected they forced her to do it, I don't think Emma would like to interfere with this new issue. Im guessing Joseph or Sarah sent her to talk to me.
"Hey," Greeted a low raspy voice.
"Hello?" I said looking back at the male. He was sitting on top of a desk with a guitar in one hand, and a pile of papers in the other. His skin tone was a beautiful russet color, his hair was jet black, and shoulder length. He had big black eyes. But besides him being attractive, there was something about him that intrigued me. Something that wasn't right. Or normal.
"Did I scare you?" He asked with a smile on his face, which exposed his white teeth.
"No," I answered honestly. "I was just startled," I admitted.
"Sorry, I usually hang around here for lunch," He said jumping off the desk. "Im Jacob by the way," He said. He extended his hand towards me.
"Bella," I said, I hesitated at first but eventually shook his hand. It was rather steamy. His skin was a hotter than any normal persons. "What?" I asked as he stared down to my hand.
"Nothing," He said shaking his head.
"So why do you hang out here?" I asked looking around the room. "No friends?" I teased.
He laughed lightly. "I try to use the extra time to play my guitar" He said shoving his papers into a black backpack. "The old man hates the noise, so I decided to start playing more at school," He said looking back at me. "What about you King, do you play anything?" He asked. I gaped back at him.
"How do you know my last name?" I asked him.
"Who doesn't know the famous King family? I may not get out of these four walls to socialize with others, but I do know who everyone is," He grinned.
"Stalker much?" I laughed.
"When your invisible to everyone else King, you hear everything," He said, his eyes met mine. "But I bet you don't know what being unseen or alone means right?" He asked.
"You don't know anything about me Jacob," I said raising my eyebrow at him.
"Is that so?" He asked, he sniffed the air loudly. "I think I have you more figured out than everyone else in the school.. Anyone who isn't your family or the new kids," He said.
"Solitary got you crazy Jacob?" I said rolling my eyes. This human was too perceptive.
"You could say that," He chuckled. "You never did answer my question King," He said tapping on his wooden guitar with his long dark fingers.
"Same as you, but i prefer to sing," I said looking at his fingers. Just watching how easy it was for him to come up with an amazing rythm.
"I should hear you sing sometime," He said kindly.
"I dont sing for anyone," I said.
"Why?" He asked, he stopped his fingers. "Too scared of public humiliation?" He joked.
"I need to really feel it. I sing when my heart needs it," I confessed. Just like When i sang that song for Joseph. I needed to feel it, and the emotion that overwhelmed the song was the same emotion i felt for Edward. And for Rosalie. That i would protect them from if it meant sacrificing myself.
"You should hear me play sometime Bella," He said softly.
"Are you asking me out?" I asked him as his black eyes glowed.
"What if I was?" He asked flirtatiously. "Would the great Bella King, go out with the nobody Jacob Black," He laughed at himself. "I doubt someone like you would ever go out with someone like me. We are too different Bella. Your kind devours what i protect."
My kind? What does that mean?
"But in a way we are alike. You enjoy the night, where you can roam freely, and where I can come out and not hide behind the trees. Where I can howl at the moon and run as fast as I can, where i can be free," His eyes met mine again, as he slipped away from his thoughts. "Still clueless Bella?" He asked, as he noticed my puzzled expression. "Has anyone ever told you that there is more than what you believe exists?" He asked.
"Vampires," I whispred, low enough so he wouldnt hear me.
"There is more out there Bella, more than what you believe." He assured me.
"Read any fiction books lately?" I laughed lightly, still drawn to the amzing things he was saying.
I watched as Jacob grabbed his over sized backpack off the floor and threw it over his shoulder. He walked towards the class room door. Pushing me slightly out of the away. His hand on the door knob. "Pick you up at seven King," He said with a small smile. I nodded. "
He took one more look at me. He touched my cheek lightly. He was extremely hot. "There is more to this world than your kind. More than Vampires,"
