Chapter Twenty-Six - Cracking Glass

"Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think you can just waltz into my home like this?" I hissed at Jacob as I closed my front door and chased behind him.

"You really just need to relax Bella," he laughed as he pulled his jacket off and flopped down onto my couch. He smiled up at me, and pat the spot next him. "Sit down darling," he told me.

I snorted loudly. As if I was going to sit down with him. All I wanted was for him to leave. I no longer felt safe being around him anymore, and he knew that.

"You need to leave right now," I demanded and pointed my finger at the front door. "Please, just go".

"I can't do that Bella," he shook his head.

"Edward is going to be here soon, so you better go," I lied to him.

"Oh, that's right. Prince Eddie," Jacob said sarcastically. "Why am I not surprised that he got you. He always gets everything he wants. You know, I could have made you happy too, Bella. I still can," he stood and made his way towards me.

I raised my hand, and stopped him from coming further. "Why can't you get it through your thick head? I don't want you. I didn't then, and I don't now. I never will see you that way," I cried at him.

I whimpered and turned my back on him. I needed to get him out of my home. I'm scared to think what might happen if Leah found out he'd been here. It surely wouldn't end well. It nearly ended bad the last time.

"Does Leah know that you're here?" I sobbed.

"Oh Angel," I felt Jacob's hands at my waist. I tried to shy away from him, but his grip was tight. "You need to worry about Leah. She's not going to hurt you".

The anger that washed through me, helped me escape from Jacob's grasp. "She won't hurt me?" I laughed sarcastically at him. "Are you fucking kidding me? Don't you remember what happened the last time she thought something was going on between us? She pushed me down a flight of fucking stairs," I slapped at his hands as he tried to touch me again.

"She just wanted to scare you," Jacob soothed.

I'd had enough of this shit. Jacob knew that Leah was dangerous. He knew that I was at risk just by him being here.

"I want you to leave," I shoved him.

"You know I can't leave until I get my money," Jacob yelled.

"I don't have five grand to just give to you Jacob," I yelled back.

I tried to be quiet. I didn't want Sammy to wake up in a fright. But Jacob was making me angry and I couldn't help myself.

"Get it from the Cullen's," he snapped. "They're all madly in love with you, so I'm sure you wont have a problem getting it," he snorted.

"No, I'm not bringing them into this. They don't need to know," I shook my head adamantly.

Why the fuck did I do it? I should never have borrowed that money from him. But I'd been desperate to get myself a new car. After Sammy was born, I didn't feel safe driving him around it my old shit bomb Jetta. At the time, Jacob and I were great friends. He offered to lend me the money. I told him that I wouldn't be able to pay him back for a while, but he had said that it was okay. Friends look after their friends is what he said. So I took the money. I never told my family, and I never told the Cullen's. I knew they would have been upset I hadn't gone to them for the money instead. I just didn't want them to know I was having money problems at the time. Alice didn't even know about it.

Soon after, Jacob told me he was in love with me. I didn't feel the same. I saw him as a brother. But he just wouldn't listen. He was always trying to touch me, kiss me, and was always making passes at me. And what made it worse; he was in a relationship with Leah. And he used to do it in front of her. No wonder she was so fucking pissed off. That's when she started getting violent. It ended with me getting a broken leg after getting pushed down the stairs at Jacob's club.

It was then that I told Jacob we could no longer be friends. I was not going to risk my safety. Leah just wouldn't listen when I told her I didn't feel anything for Jacob. He ended up getting really angry with me; told me that he needed the money I borrowed. Of course I didn't have it.

That's when he said he'd take sex as a payment. He said if I slept with him, and danced at his stupid club, I wouldn't have to pay him back the five grand. As if I'd ever stoop that low.

I told him he was fucking crazy, and that he'd get his money when I eventually had enough to pay him back. I didn't speak to him for quite a while after that. But then one day he turns up and tells me that the money he leant me, was actually stolen.

I still haven't been able to pay him back. He's been a thorn in my side ever since.

"I need the money Bella. And soon," he warned me.

"You got yourself into this mess Jacob. I didn't ask you to steal that damned money," I growled at him.

"You'll go down for this too if you don't get me that money soon. If I don't give them back their money, they're going to go to the cops. I have no problem with giving them your name. I swear, I'll take you down with me," he glared at me.

I'd had enough. I raised my hand and let my palm connect with his face. "Don't you fucking threaten me," I screamed.

"I'll do whatever the hell I want," he smirked as he took a step away and grabbed his coat. "One week Bella. That's it. I'll be back this time next week. And because you just slapped me, I'm slapping an extra two grand on top of that five," he added as he opened my door. "Until then my sweet," and then he left.

I was left standing there, my mouth agape.

Where the fuck was I going to get five grand from? Wait, make that seven grand. I am so fucking screwed. What did I ever do to deserve this?

I kept myself busy for the next couple of days. I threw myself into work, and concentrated on Edward and the date we had planned for Friday night. He'd noticed that something was wrong, but I just kept telling him that I was stressed with work; that it was extremely busy.

Friday soon came, and I was excited about the date with Edward. We were finally taking a step forward in the right direction. I was excited to see where tonight lead.

My mother was still in town, and she and dad were looking after Sammy for the night. I was actually on my way home after dropping him off at my dads house. I'd left Alice back at my place, and she was organising a nice outfit for me for the night. She said she'd be gone by the time I got home, because she had her own plans with Jasper for the night.

I flicked on my radio and turned the music up real loud, and started singing along with whatever song was playing. It was some crap by Britney, but I was alone, so I sang along anyway. I was so immersed in the song that I didn't even notice the car right behind me until it was too late.

I knew who it was straight away. I'd know that car anywhere.

Leah Clearwater.

Shit.

My car lurched forward as she tapped my back bumper with her front. Oh god. I knew this was going to happen. I knew she'd find out that fucking Jacob came to place, and now she'd gotten the wrong idea once again.

Damn you Jacob Black.

I screamed out loud, hoping and praying the she would hear me. Even if she did, she didn't stop. She wanted me out of the way.

She sped up and this time she hit me a lot harder. And then she did it again. This wasn't good. I was in trouble.

I lost control of my car.

Everything after that was a blur, and the last thing I remember hearing was the sound of cracking glass.

A/N: Uh oh. What's happened to Bella? Is she okay? Hmmm.
