A/N-Thanks for the reviews from last chapter
"Alice does Edward hate me for some reason?" Jacob asked over the phone. After he finally gained some sense he called Alice to find out if she knew about Edward's cheating. But to his disappointment, she had only found out herself.
"No. I mean, I don't know," she answered. "You found out the hard way didn't you?"
"Yes."
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you; it's just he has issues about staying with one person."
"Did he do this with Bella?"
"Plenty of times, but he does truly hate her if that makes it any better."
"No it doesn't."
"At least I tried. What are you going to do?"
A frown crossed his face. "I don't know. I want him to feel what I feel to let him know that he can't treat me like this. Did he think I wouldn't find out?"
"Honestly I don't know what he is thinking. It could be worse."
"Bullshit Alice, he destroyed all the trust I've ever invested in him. I hate him."
"I understand, but look before you do anything let me talk to him."
"Does anybody else in your family know?" Jacob asked.
"Jasper found out first. Edward introduced him to that girl and the rest of us found out just like you did. Don't worry everyone is pretty pissed at him to."
"Even if they are, will he really care?"
"I don't know. He's immature when it comes to love."
"Really because he fooled me pretty well. I'm done with him, his bullshit and his lies. I'm leaving him."
Alice wasn't too surprised. "Jake, what about Nessie?" she asked.
"I don't know. Maybe she can go back to live with your parents. When I break up with him, there is no point in still being in her life."
"You sound like a jerk. She loves you," she pointed out.
Love was an understatement. From what Alice saw and heard Nessie worshipped the ground Jake walked out. Constantly pointing out all his good traits and bragging about how he was the greatest daddy in the world. The feeling she felt for him was overwhelming to the point that Elijah was jealous of her affection towards Jake.
"I know that, but I'm not going to stay with Edward just because of her. It's not fair to me or her," he said.
"Jake don't leave her."
"I don't want to, but she's connected to who-shall-not-be-named."
"I am to," she exclaimed.
"But I don't take care of you."
"I know, but don't just leave her."
A vibrating noise alerted him that he had another call from none other than Edward. "Give me a second I have another call," Jake said switching over. "What the hell do you want?"
"What's with the attitude?" Edward asked who was resting in his hotel room after a show. He was exhausted, but decided to find some time to call Jacob with a drink in hand and the knowledge that once he was done he had someone to have sex with.
A sarcastic tone replied, "Oh I don't know, maybe because you're fucking some whore named Tanya."
Edward spit out his drink in surprise. Shit. "Jacob, I…"
"Jacob what? You fucking lied to me, you asshole. I hate you."
"You don't understand."
"Understand what, that you fucking used me when you said that you wouldn't. I'm sick of your bullshit Edward. No more."
"I'm sorry. Tanya is nothing to me."
"Bullshit Edward, fucking bullshit."
The older male decided to change the flow of conversation. "How did you find out?" he asked calmly.
"Are you that stupid? Didn't you think that the press wouldn't find out? That's how I found out. On fucking television. You know what I'm sick of you and your lies. Me and Elijah are gone. I'll take Nessie to live your parents, but I'm not dealing with you anymore."
All that calmness went out the window. "Jake don't leave and don't take Elijah out of my life."
"What have you've done for him?"
"Put a roof over his head, made sure you had money."
That statement pissed Jake off. "And I've been there since the day he was born. I'm the one who had to prostitute myself just to put food on the table. So all the little stuff you've done for the last few months means nothing."
"Jake, we need to talk in person."
"Oh I thought you couldn't get away, but was that another lie to?"
"Jake," pleaded Edward.
"Shut up. You hurt me so bad and I really thought that you loved me."
"I do. It's just that…I can't explain it over the phone."
"Well you don't have to, because I'm hanging up. Oh and Edward the paparazzi is going to love knowing about your secret gay relationship."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Try me," Jacob said switching his phone back over to Alice. "You need to talk to your brother."
"You talked to Edward?" she asked.
"Yep, told him that I hate him."
"Look I'll call you back let me talk to him."
"Do whatever, bye." He hung up and threw the phone across the room. The idea of exposing Edward hadn't come up before and he hated the shit storm such a scandal would create, but right now he really didn't care. Great now I have to make plans to move out and find another job.
Edward stared at his phone in shock. Stupid stupid stupid. He knew this day would come, but the fact that Jake would expose him really scared him. This can't be happening; damn it if Jasper wasn't right. I need to get back to L.A. Taking out his phone, he was about to phone Oscar, when a call from Alice came in. "Hello."
"Finally I reached you," she said.
"I assume you know?"
"Yes. How could you? He's just starting to love and trust you and you go and do this. Why?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Then explain it to me."
"I don't have time."
"Well make some time. I understand doing this to Bella, but Jacob. He's like the sweetest guy in the world and with all the shit that he went through. You decide to fuck everything up. You're my brother, but I hate you."
"Okay I know I screwed up and I need to explain the situation to him."
"What's to explain? You're fucking some whore."
"Tanya is not a whore."
"Sweet you're defending her," was Alice's deadpan response. "What else about her Edward? Is she the most beautiful person you've ever seen or is her pussy good? Tell me what's the real truth about her? Is she some Mary Sue that can do no wrong?"
"What the hell is a Mary Sue?"
"Never mind, so tell me about the slut."
"I don't have to take this."
"Oh really, you deserve everything I'm saying to you. But I need to talk with Jacob again, so if you want to get him back do something quickly," she said hanging up.
Edward sighed laying the phone down. He knew the whole arrangement would blow up in his face; he didn't expect how soon it would happen. He couldn't let the press know about his gay relationship with Jacob. The only thing he could think of to stop Jake was to go home and deal with him, but if Jake did it before he arrived; he would have no choice, but to sue Jake for slander.
Tanya hearing part of Edward's conversation with Alice, walked to his side and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Baby is something wrong?" she asked nuzzling his neck.
Looking into her eyes, he just shook his head. "No, just some issues back home with my daughter's nanny."
"Oh that boy you hired. He's not molesting her is he?"
"No! He's just threatening to quit. I need to go back to L.A. and speak with him."
"Bring her on the tour with us; I do want to get to know her."
"A tour is no place for a child. If anything does happen with him; I'll just take her to go live with my parents. Excuse me I need to call Oscar."
She pressed her breasts against his shoulders. "No baby let me take some of your tension away. Then you can call him."
"This is really important."
Like a snake, she moved her body until she was right in front of him and sat herself in his lap. Slowly she turned his head and started to make little kisses on his neck. "No baby, you're more important." A finger glided down the front of his shirt, slowly undoing the buttons. "He won't just leave her. Please baby; I'll do that special thing you like."
In Edward's mind two parts were screaming at him. The first part told him that he was in too deep and that he better not have sex with her. And the other part that was mostly controlled by his penis told him to do her. Thankfully his rational side won for once, but the horny side told him it better happen soon. "Sorry, but I need to deal with this."
"Damn," she sighed getting up. "But later alright?"
"Of course."
"While I'm going to hit the spa downstairs." Her towel slipped a little showing the top of her breasts. "When you're done come down, we can have a little fun."
"I will."
Smiling she left and Edward quickly dialed Oscar's number.
Oscar, who was in the middle of getting a hot stoned massage in the spa portion of the hotel they were staying at, sadly picked up his phone. "Hello," he moaned.
Edward was a bit disturbed, but spoke. "I need to go back to L.A., so make the arrangements."
"A no. You're not going back to L.A."
"But I'm having troubles with Jacob."
An especially hot stone hit his lower back. "And I really pity you," Oscar grunted as he smiled up at his attendant. "But you're not going."
"I need to, he's threatening to quit."
"So just have your parents take Nessie."
"He's threatening to expose our relationship to the world," Edward hissed.
That nice relaxing massage went out the window. "Shit!"
"I know. I need to stop him from doing it."
Oscar's head ran through the ideas about what would happen if Jacob came out. The biggest was that Edward's career would shatter. "Fine go back to L.A," he relented. "I'll make up some excuse about your kid needing you."
"Thanks."
Hanging up, Edward took out his laptop and quickly booked the earliest flight he could get back to L.A. Having about three hours until he could leave; he quickly packed up a suitcase, made some important calls and surprisingly prayed that Jacob wouldn't fulfill his promise soon.
Tanya having forgot something came back to find Edward packing. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Going back to L.A. to take care of this situation with Nessie."
"You can't go."
"Well I am. I'll be back soon."
"Don't leave."
"You'll be fine without me for a few days."
"Edward."
"Tanya please this is important; it's my daughter."
She crossed her arms under her breasts and put on a pout. "Fine do what you have to."
He kissed her. "Thank you. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"When do you leave?"
"In the next few minutes."
"So soon?"
"Yes."
"Something is bothering you. Is it really because of your daughter?"
"Yes, you don't have children, so you wouldn't understand."
"Maybe we'll have children one day."
"Yeah maybe," Edward said without thinking. Finishing up, he received a call that his ride was downstairs already. "Alright, I'll see you in a few days." A quick peck on the cheek and he was out the door before she could say a word.
"Jake it will be okay," said Quil rubbing his friend's back.
"I say kill him," stated Embry.
After getting off the phone with Alice, Jacob wallowed in self pity for a couple hours, before getting the kids. Once he made sure they were situated, he called Quil and Embry and told them what happened. Being friends, the two immediately came over and tried to cheer Jake up.
A pillow covered Jake's head as he laid on his bed thinking about if he really wanted to come up to the public about Edward and his relationship. "I can't kill him," he mumbled.
"Why not?"
"Rather not go to jail."
"But that bastard hurt you."
"I know. There are other ways to make him suffer."
"Like what?"
'I'm thinking about coming out to the press about our relationship. I have pictures, emails, and texts to back up my claims."
"Jake don't," cried Quil. Think about what the consequences will be for you and Elijah. The press will look into your past and find out about…you know."
"I know, but I want to hurt him and if I do come out. It'll hurt him bad."
"But think you idiot. There is a good possibility that Elijah could be taken away by child services. And Nessie is already fragile as it is."
"Why does everyone say that I have to think about her? Yes shit will go down, but she has a large family that will help her out. Maybe it's best that she went back to her grandparents. I'm damaged as it is. I can't help an emotionally damaged little girl."
Embry crossed his arms and stared out the window. "Quil, he does have a point."
"So, she loves Jacob."
"I know, but I can't do this," Jake argued. "I'm not strong enough to deal with her and Elijah. Not with this issue with Edward. Her grandfather is a doctor, it'll be better for her to be with him."
"Jacob don't."
"Quil, I'm barely twenty and taking care of two kids and going through a huge break up. I have to…I have to do what is right. And if I do this thing with Edward; I don't want her caught in the middle."
Ring, ring
Edward's name flashed across the screen of his cell phone. Sighing he answered it. "What do you want Edward?"
"What are you doing?"
"Plotting your downfall."
"Give me that," yelled Embry snatching the phone away. "Listen you pathetic asshole. I've tolerated a lot of bullshit before in my life. But you hurting my friend is the last straw. If you even come within ten feet of him or Elijah; I will personally cut off your balls, stir fry them and feed them to you. I don't care if you're rich, a star and white. I will proudly go to jail just to have the chance to murder you."
"Shut up," cried Quil trying to take the phone away.
"No he needs to hear this. Edward, you should rot in hell."
Edward was stunned, but he couldn't let his voice show that he was scared of Embry's wrath. "Look I don't want to talk to you, but to Jake."
"No."
"Put him back on the phone."
"No that's okay," Embry responded hanging up the phone and throwing it on the bed.
"Why did you say that stuff to him?" questioned Quil. "He could put you in jail over those threats. I can't lose you."
"He won't do anything," he replied wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. "He'll never take me from you."
"How do you know?"
"I just do."
The phone started going off again, but no one answered.
In another room, Elijah hearing the shouting wondered what was wrong with his daddy. Jake hadn't been the happiest person to pick him up earlier. Nessie fearing the yelling hid under the bed with her hands over her ears, praying to God that nothing bad was happening. She had a feeling that she couldn't describe, but she knew it was bad because it was making her stomach cramp to the point that she was in pain.
"Nessie let's go," Elijah said.
"No, we'll get in trouble," she sobbed trying to curl herself into a tight little ball. Happy place, happy place, she thought reciting a mantra that her therapist taught her. Happy place.
Knowing he couldn't do anything for her, silently he went into Jake's room and climbed on his daddy's bed. "Daddy what wrong?" Elijah asked noting Jake's red eyes. His tiny hand wiped some of Jake's tears away. "Daddy."
Jake took his son and started to kiss his hair and forehead. "Nothing honey. Nothing is wrong at all."
"You lie."
He ruffled his hair. "You're too smart for your own good. Big guy, we might be going on a trip soon."
"Where?"
"I don't know."
"What bout Nessie?"
"She's going to go live with her grandparents."
That sounded strange to Elijah, since they took her from them, now they were giving her back. "Why she not come?"
"Because her grandparents want her back. And it's a trip just the two of us. I was thinking about moving us to Hawaii."
Elijah's eyes lit up in excitement; he always wanted to go to Hawaii and learn how to surf and be on the beach all day just playing with his daddy. "Yay want to go to Waii and surf."
"We will, but don't tell Nessie. It's our secret."
"Kay Daddy. Edward come?"
"No, he has to work remember."
"I remember."
"Good boy."
The phone going off again alerted them. Elijah recognizing the letters in Edward's name stared at the phone. "Daddy, I talk to Edward?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Jake don't," said Embry.
"Shut up and go see if Nessie is okay, both of you," he snapped.
Embry grumbled something that Elijah should never hear as he and Quil left.
Elijah answered the phone. "Hi Edward."
Thank God, Edward thought. He wasn't too sure if he wanted to talk with Jacob again, but Elijah was a great distraction. No matter what happened he didn't want Elijah dragged into the mess. "Hey buddy, where's your daddy?"
"He next to me. Guess what?"
"What?"
"Daddy and I going to Waii."
"Waii?"
"Yep where Auntie Rachel live."
"Oh Hawaii." Shit. "Elijah put your daddy on the phone."
"I want to talk," the three year old demanded.
"Okay buddy, what's been going on?"
"Hm, I bite a meanie at daycare cause he peed on me. I bite Nessie cause she took my toys," the little boy gladly gloated. "When you coming back?"
"Soon big guy, very soon. Elijah?"
"Yes?"
"I love you and never forget that."
"Ok, love you too."
A smile came across Edward's face; at least Jacob didn't poison the boy against him yet. Even the thought of Elijah hating him caused Edward pained; he's daughter hating him not so much.
Elijah curled himself beside Jake as he continued to talk to Edward not knowing about the turmoil between the two people that he loved. It was better that he never found out, but both adults knew that he would and so would Nessie.
Jake just looked down at his son; he didn't know what he was going to do now. All the stuff that he said was just spur of the moment thinking. Really if he left, he and Elijah would be in the same position they were a few months ago, but he wasn't going to let Edward disrespect them even more. Well the possibility of fleeing to Hawaii did sound appealing; Rachel and Johnny would accept them with open arms and no one would know of his past. "Elijah give me the phone," he said.
"Kay Daddy. Bye bye Edward."
"Bye big guy."
Elijah made a smacking sound in the phone. "Here that's my kiss to you."
"Thank you." Edward made the smacking sound back. "That's your kiss."
"It was wet. Bye." Elijah handed the phone to Jacob, but instead of leaving stayed at his side almost like a protective little puppy.
"Hello," Jake said.
"I'm on my way back to L.A. as we speak," said Edward.
"Why? I told you we're through."
"We need to calmly talk about this."
"No, I don't want to hear your excuses. We're done. Elijah and I are going to Hawaii and I'll just take Nessie back to your parents."
"Don't run away from me."
"I'm not, I made my decision."
"Don't Jacob, let me just try to talk to you in person without anyone around."
"No, tomorrow I'm going to the press about our relationship."
"Don't be stupid."
"I'm not."
"I'm sure you know if they found out about us then they are going to dig through your life with a fine tooth comb and discover your previous activities, which could lead you into having Elijah taken away."
"That won't happen," Jake lied.
"I've seen it; I've lived it. Believe me Jacob it will happen, no matter what you say."
"I hate you."
"I know you do."
"When you get here are you going to tell me the truth about her?"
"I promise."
"Fine, I won't say anything right now, but I'm going to get my revenge Edward."
"I know. Jake…"
"What?"
"Make sure Embry is not there, when I come in."
"I will."
"Thanks."
Jake just made a grunting sound as he hung up without saying goodbye. Several emotions ran through him as he tried to figure out what he would say to Edward once he came back, but nothing came to mind. With a sigh he pulled his son closer to him vowing that nothing would tear them apart.
On the other end, Edward rested his head in hand wondering about how he would dig himself out of this mess.
Next chapter-Edward comes back, Tanya starts to dig into Jake's past and maybe some Bella.
