Chapter 2

Losing Jacob Black and Quil Altera


Again, I've lost my best friends. But the only question I have in my head is: Why Me?


"It's okay Bella, just calm down now." Angela Weber whispered to me, rubbing her hands to my arm, comforting me.

I hiccupped, shaking my head furiously. It's not okay, it'll never be okay. Not when - Oh God please help. I sobbed as I closed my eyes, the memory flowing through my mind.

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"You ready Bells?" Jacob shouted, banging on my door. He was impatient, as always. He and Quil were waiting downstairs for me to get ready.

"Yup yup." I shouted at him. "Just another minute though." I quickly added.

He groaned as I told him this. "Just hurry up Bells!" He shouted.

I quickly combed my hair again and looked at my reflection in my big mirror. I was wearing something simple, everyday clothing. A black hoodie saying, 'Smiles Confuse People' -which was actually true - blue faded jeans and some really ruined converse. My hair was let lose for once – only because I lost my hair tie. My hair would be in a messy bun if Leah leaded me a hair tie but no, she was busy sleeping and moaning about how her head was hurting, but in lease she got a hangover. Serves her right for drinking vodka or whatever alcohol the woman drinks to get whatever in her head out - if there is anything in her brain anyway. I rolled my eyes at myself once the thoughts came into my head.

"Bells?" Jacob shouted again, this time it was really annoyed and hungry. I rolled my eyes again at him or rather the door. I scanned for my bag, finding it near my drawer but stopped when a blue bear caught my site. I remember that bear. That thought came to me. Embry gave me that … My eyes started to water but I quickly blinked them all away. I grabbed my bag, running downstairs for the 'waiting ones' in my living room.

"Oh sorry!" I yelped as I collided with a warm yet hard body. An arm went around my waist to hold me steady from falling. My hands grabbed the warm body's biceps, feeling it a little bit. Don't give me that look, I am a girl by the way.

"Are you okay?" The person asked, its voice deep and husky so familiar.

"I didn't mean - Oh it's you." I stopped talking midway as I saw a necklace with a letter B on it. Instantly I knew it was Embry Call. I know its Embry Call, but only because I remembered giving him that necklace when he gave me his mum's ring when we were young. I looked away from the necklace as my eyes soon prickled with tears. I looked at his body - making a mistake. He was shirtless. And he was so much more beautiful than the last time I saw him at the beach, his body I mean. I didn't have to look at his face 'cause I was afraid to see his deep brown eyes - they always held me captive. "What -?"

"Come on Bells, we're only going to the cinema, not an Italian restaurant." Jacob shouted, coming into the hall way. He froze as he saw Embry. "What the hell are you doing here?" He asked Embry menacingly. I bit back a gasp. Jacob never talked to people like that. His voice was always calm and collected.

"None of your business Black." Paul Lahote's voice snarl popped out as he came near us. He was glaring at Jacob with pure annoyance. I didn't know why but I knew Jacob did something to annoy Paul, or maybe Paul annoyed Jacob, neither way, he's annoyed.

"It is my business -"

I interrupted him, saying, "Jake, just leave it. Let's go."

He nodded but suddenly looked down. Jake's whole body started shaking.

"Let go of her Call!" Jake growled out as he saw that Embry was still holding my waist.

"Calm down first!" Embry snapped back. His grip on my waist tightened until it was hurting.

"Aw!" I yelled out.

Emery quickly removed his arm from my waist as Jacob grabbed my other arm and dragged me to him.

"Jacob Black!" I screamed at him. "You know how I hate being grabbed." And that your arm is burning. I wanted to say. But I didn't, I really didn't want to anger Jacob anymore.

"Sure, sure. Let's go." He weirdly croaked out. "We're leaving!" He yelled out to my mum and dad. I didn't see what mum said but dad was giving Embry a knowing and suspicious look.

"Jake?" I whispered as he dragged me out. "Jake stop right now!" I pulled him to a stop.

"What?" He screamed. I was shocked again. Jake's never like this. He doesn't shout at me or anything like that. I knew something was wrong with him, and I didn't like it. At all. "I'm sorry." He said as he saw the look on my face. "Is your hand okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine, but Jake you're-"

"Just leave it Bells. We need to go, we'll miss the film." He walked to his rabbit.

"What about Quil?" I asked him as I ran to him.

"He went home, said he was feeling sick." Jake mumbled.

"And?" I asked, knowing there's more. "What else Jake?"

"Sam took him home."

As he said that, a loud howl ran through the forest. The howl was filled with pain and hurt. I wanted to get out the car to where the howling sound was, but Jake drove away too quickly. But not quickly enough for me to see Embry staring at the rabbit - and it that a longing face?

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"Good movie, eh?" I asked Jake as he drove me home. If only we actually watched the movie, instead of watching the dang commercials.

Jake didn't notice my glare, his eyes on the road, glaring as well. He only nodded, agreeing to something he didn't even hear.

I rolled my eyes at him, starting to play with my fingers. Like in the movies.

I didn't even get to watch that stupid movie, all because of Mike Newton. He just had to piss Jake off. Only a matter of seconds when I sat down on my seat, Newton started asking me out. Jake started shaking and when I told him to calm down he stared shaking harder. I didn't understand what was happening to my best friend, I was just trying to ignore Newton and his lame attempt for me to go out with him. The commercials were still on when Newton suggested for us to use this time for something worth the money, Jacob went ballistic and punched Newton in th4 jaw, then dragged my ass away from the movies into his rabbit. He didn't even talk to me or examined to me but he did start driving back though. I kept on asking him to what's wrong with him, but he just ignored me and concentrated on driving.

I crossed my arms and sat in my seat, waiting for the La Push sign to come into view. When it did, I was so relieved.

"Thanks again Jake." For arguing with Newton and dragging my ass in front of everything in the movies – humiliating right? Thanks again Jake, your my best friend, thanks for that. I sourly thought.

Again, he just nodded and I climbed out of his rabbit. I walked to my house and knocked for someone to open up. When I looked back, Jake wasn't there anymore.

"He didn't wait for me to go." I whispered as my dad opened the door.

"Bella?" He asked.

I shook my head at him as I ran to my room. I flopped on my bed and cried my eyes out. My mom tried talking to me but I just ignored her. Dad told her to give me time and they had a little argument. I all but threw a pillow at the door to stop them from fighting right in front of my bedroom door.

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"Bella?" Leah's voice rang through my room.

"Mhpm." I said into my pillow.

"Wake up now Bella." She told me.

I repeated what I said before.

"Look, I know how you feel – actually I don't but oh well. Anyway, you hurt, I know that but –"

"Just go away Leah." I interrupted her.

"But I've got cookies, so eat up." She merrily told me. She smiled a fake plastic smile at me.

"What?" I asked, in disbelief. Leah, making cookies? What has the world come to?

"Cookies, I made it for you, and only you. Now eat it all up." She offered a plate of cookies to me. I hesitantly took one, overlooking at it, then bit into it.

"It's nice." I said, swallowing.

"I know, I mean made it." She told me. "Now the bad news."

Realization came to me. I started up at my sister and glared at her. Of course she would do this. Give me a cookie and all, actually all nice, then bang on the bad news.

"What bad news?" I asked her.

"Well, Uley –" She practically spat his name out, "–and his little minions are cliff diving. Laughing and playing around like best friends."

"And?"

"Embry –" I winced at his name, "–Jacob and Quil are with him." In an instant, the plate full of cookies was on the floor.

I stared at Leah, while she just nodded at me. She smiled another fake smile and walked away from me.

Jacob and Quil. Cliff diving with Sam Uley?

I slowly got up and put my shoes on. I went down stairs.

"Bella, you're up, are you –"

I slammed the door, stopping whatever my mum was going to say. I hopped into my Honda and drove to the cliffs.

There they were. My supposed to be best friends, cliff diving with the enemy. Tears ran down my face as I stared at them. From a distance, I saw Jacob laughing at what Sam was saying, and Embry being pushed by Quil into the sea. I heard his screams as he went down, as well as my screams, right in my heart. Only difference is, is that Embry's scream was full of playfulness, while mine was full of hurt.

I slowly went into my car, keeping my eyes at them. One seat, I turned the car on and drove away from my once best friends.

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"Everything will be fine now Bella, okay? So calm down now." Angela whispered to me.

I constantly shook my head at her, staying quiet.

"I'm here for Bella." She told me.

"Why?" I didn't know what I asked, if I was asking why she was here for me or why they left me.

"Look, you might not understand me now, but you will soon." She checked her clock from her room. "I only have six hours until I've got to go to my aunt's in Phoenix." She said to herself. Then, as if a light bulb popped out, an idea came to her head. She looked starlight at me and said, "You Isabella Clearwater, is coming with to Phoenix."
