I'm so sorry it's been so long, you know, homework, and all that. Anyways hope you'll all forgive me cause here's another chapter. Hope you like and please, please review!!!
Jacob's POV (Yay!!!)
I watched as Bella hung up the phone, a huge smile on her face. Did she seriously just tell precious Edward to go and die?!! I felt a grin stretch across my face as I held out my fist for her to punch. She knocked her tiny pale fist gently against mine. Bella turned to face Emmett. He stared at her for a couple of minutes before grinning, then lifting her into the air and spinning her round and round. He then set her back down and rested his chin on her head. He sighed contentedly then whispered
"You're the best Bells" Bella laughed and ducked away from Emmett.
"Oh, I know" Bella grinned and Emmett chuckled. Bella then glanced around and frowned. "Where's Caleb?" Emmett shrugged.
"He said he was away to meet up with this girl called...Shauni, I think her name was. Haven't seen him since last night. Once you had gone to bed he went straight out the door" Bella blushed a little when she realised he'd spent all night with Shauni.
"Oh" was all she said before turning round and staring blankly at the wall for a moment.
Suddenly Emmett started chuckling but coughed to cover it up, kinda. Bella span on the spot to face him with a confused look on her face.
"What's so funny?" Emmett's lips formed a tight line and he shook his head. Bella gave Emmett a 'maybe he's crazy', sighed and rolled her eyes then stomped up the stairs.
As soon as Bella was out of earshot I turned to Emmett and whispered "what's so funny?"
Emmett's glanced at the stairs, smiled and replied "three...two...one" He stared at the top of the stairs.
Then the scream came. But it wasn't a normal scream, it was a shrill scream. Bella came running down the stairs at full speed, her arms waving around her, screaming. Before my mind had time to react, Bella threw the front door open and a second scream joined in with hers. Then a third, that was followed by yelling and cheering. I stood up and searched around franticly for Emmett, who had disappeared into the blur of colours that was surrounding Bella.
I only had one option. Sucking in as much air as my lungs would allow, I let it gush out of me, bellowing "STOP!!"
All the blurs came to a dead stop. It took my mind a couple of seconds to take in everything. Then I started to register faces. Blonde, medium height male...Carlisle. Short, reddish, brownish haired female, had a kind look...Esme. Short, pixie like female...Alice. Muscular, blonde male...Jasper. But those were not the only faces in the crowd. My eyes scanned the other three faces.
Cheeky grin, bright eyes, too tall to be anything other than a wolf...Quil. Beside Quil stood a taller, slimmer, cheekier man...Embry. My eyes landed finally on someone who shouldn't be here at all. Shorter than Quil and Embry but taller than the Cullen's stood a young face I would have recognised anywhere. Seth. Why was he here? How was he here?!
How were they all here?!
I couldn't handle this. The Cullen's yeah, sure, who cares, but the pack?! I'd said my goodbyes. I knew there would be very little chance that I would never see them again and it killed me. But this was more painful. I'd have to say goodbye all over again. I wouldn't be able to handle that. It's hard enough saying goodbye to your best friends once, but twice is just suicide.
And now Seth had been dragged into this mess. He was just a kid! He shouldn't know about vampires and werewolves, hell I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in a loony bin when he was older.
And then my eyes rested on the huge grin on Bella's face. She was happy. Her vampire 'family' was here and so was her wolf 'family', her old friends and new ones. Her eyes gleamed as she, like I had, scanned over all the new faces in the room. When she came to my face however she frowned a little but then smiled again as her eyes finally landed on Emmett.
Bella was happy so why should I ruin her contentment? I wouldn't be able to anyway. Seeing Bells in pain killed me. I could never send these 'people' away.
I tore my eyes off of Bella as the kafuffle started up again. Seth, Quil and Embry all ran towards me as the Cullen's crowded around Bella and Emmett. Quil punched my arm as did Embry. Seth however just grinned happily at me. I smiled back curiously. Quil spoke first.
"Long time no see! How's Bella holdin' up?" I sighed.
"OK. She was really bad for the first couple of days but then she started to ease up around me. It's just like when he left, she doesn't want to get too close just in case he see's sense" Quil glanced sadly at Bella. Seth however continued to stare at me. I was getting really uncomfortable. I spoke directly to him. "So, eh, when did you join the pack?"
Seth was speechless for a second then quickly replied "A couple of days ago. Didn't have a clue what was happening. Neither did Leah. She was terrified" I sucked air into my lungs.
"Leah knows?! You disobeyed Sam?!" Seth chuckled as I glared at him shocked.
"No I didn't tell her. She phased as well. And anyway your hardly one to talk about disobeying Sam" Seth grinned triumphantly. I was stuck. I had told Bella about the wolves.
"So what exactly are you guys doing here?" It was Embry who answered.
"Well, Quil and I missed you tones. And well we wanted to see you again. Then we remembered that you had managed to break away from Sam because you were a second alpha. So Quil thought that if we tried to follow you then we'd break away from Sam. Well it worked but we didn't have a clue where you were. Then we heard that the Cullen's were planning on visiting you so...well...we asked if...we could join them. And they said yeah. I don't know why Sam doesn't like them I mean the only bad thing is they stink"
I stared in shock at Quil and Embry. How the hell did the find all that crap out? They didn't even know how to change a plug!
The Cullen's and Bells were slowly getting closer and closer to us. The look on Bella's face was priceless. She was truly overjoyed that her family had found her. She was even happy to see Jasper, who she'd never been close to before.
It only took them a couple of seconds to reach us. When they did however I was totally gobsmacked when Quil, Embry and Seth grinned at all of them. What the hell was happening to the world?! Did werewolves and Vampires just suddenly get along now?!
It was Carlisle who spoke to me first. "Hello Jacob. It's good seeing you again. I hear you have been keeping Bella happy" I nodded mutely. "That's good. My wife Esme has brought some things for you"
Esme stepped shyly around Carlisle and glanced at him. He nodded egging her on. She stepped slowly towards me and held a bag out at arms length. I took it off of her and peeked in. Inside was a bundle of folded clothes and some toiletries. I half smiled at her and nodded.
"Thanks" Esme smiled, nodded and stepped back behind Carlisle. I scratched the back of my neck feeling awkward at the lingering silence. It was uncomfortable with vamps in the room. I mean sure it was alright when it was just Emmett. I could take him out easily but when it was five vamps against four wolves it was unlikely we'd survive, especially if Bella tried to butt in.
I knew there was little chance that the Cullen's would attack us but you really couldn't be too careful. And it was in my nature to feel threatened around vamps. I couldn't help it.
"Jake?" Bella's twinkling voice pulled me out of my train of thought. I looked down at her only to see her with a curious expression plastered across her face. "Are you alright?"
I nodded silently. Bella frowned and nodded. She wound her cold fingers through mine and she pulled me to the sofa in the living room. The Cullen's followed, not letting Bella out of their sight for a second. Esme and Carlisle sat on the couch across from Bells, whereas Jasper sat on the floor, Alice sitting on his lap. Emmett sat at one side of Bella while I sat at the other side.
"How've you been Bella? It's been weird not having your muddled emotions to read" All eyes were on Jasper. I knew for a fact that Bella had never been sure of him, not because of his lack of control but because of his lack of speech around her. Bella's eyes were wide with surprise. She stuttered for a few seconds before shaking her head and replying, slowly.
"Er, I've been...alright" She quickly changed the subject to something other that her feelings "What have you guys been up to?" It was Jasper who answered.
"Well, we basically packed up and told everyone we were leaving as soon as you two disappeared. Alice told Jacob where you were when you called" Bella nodded slowly. She started again.
"What about...Edward and Rosalie? Didn't they follow you???" Jasper grinned and shook his head. Carlisle spoke before Jasper could.
"Edward and Rosalie left soon after they fought with Emmett" Bella face was a mix of confusion and horror. She turned to Emmett and slapped his arm, probably breaking all of her fingers.
"You fought with them!! Why?! He could have hurt you!" Emmett snorted bitterly.
"He hurt you! And I could hardly let him away with hurting my little sis!" I saw the way Bella's face fell just a little, Emmett however didn't seem to notice.
