Chapter 5

Through Bella's eyes

(Don't expect me to rewrite the whole scenes from the books I have better things to do.)

Bella was still shaken from her incident with Laurent and those wolves. Every night she woke up with surprise. She couldn't believe she was still alive. She made sure to check on her family, including Charlie and Adel, who were back. She wished she could check on Jacob to make sure nothing had happened to him.

He wasn't answering the phone, so Bella got fed up and marched right over to his house for an explanation. He had gotten so tall. He was now towering over her.

When Bella asked about Sam, the reason he couldn't talk to her, Jake got all defensive. Bella wanted to ear who she could blame. She needed someone to direct her anger towards, and since Sam was apparently the good guy, Bella wanted answers.

*"You asked for it," He growled at her, eyes glinting hard, "If you want to blame someone, why don't you point your finger at those filthy, reeking, bloodsuckers that you love so much?" Naturally, Bella's mouth fell open. She was hurt more than anything. She had never felt so betrayed, how dare he? He knew how she felt about that. Jake only looked furious, not sympathetic or apologetic.

"I don't understand who you mean." Bella whispered, trying to push the thought away.

"I think you understand exactly who I mean. You're not going to make me say it, are you? I don't like hurting you." Jake told her. If he didn't like hurting her, he wouldn't have brought it up.

"I don't understand who you mean." She repeated.

"The Cullens." *Bella was crushed. She could feel her chest tighten, her breath became shorter. Why would he say it? It wasn't their fault, it was Sam's. With some more arguing, Bella soon heard Edwards voice again, warning her to not push Jacob. Bella clung on to his memory and listened to him. Why not, after all, Edward was right. Jacob looked like he was going to blow a gasket at any moment.

The next few night, Bella cried herself to sleep over Jacob. Why was he keeping secrets from her? Why had he been so selfish and ignored her phone calls?

Bella got some answers when Jacob broke in her house, or none. She was too tired to understand him The legends? What was Jake going on about? The first day they met? Bella was too tired to handle guessing what his problem was.

When he said he had to go, Bella got confused. She asked why.

*"For one thing, you look like you're going to pass out at any second. You need your sleep- I need you firing on all pistons. You're going to have to figure this out, you have to."

"And why else?" Bella asked.

"I had to sneak out- I'm not supposed to see you. They've got to be wondering where I am."*

"You don't have to tell them anything!" Bella hissed.

"I still have to go. Besides, Cassie and Adel are awake." And he leapt out the window. How did he know that?

That night, she dreamt about Jacob turning into a wolf. The answer was obvious. He was a werewolf. Why hadn't she figured it out earlier?

That morning, Charlie went out wolf hunting with Adel. Bella tried to stop them, knowing they would be pointing rifles at her best friend. She had to warn Jake.

"Morning, Bella!" Cassie chirped as best as she could with a mouth full of cereal.

"Oh, hey. I got to go to Jake's house. See you later." Bella rushed and grabbed her jacket.

"Aren't you going to have breakfast? I have a question for you." Cassie sounded slightly disappointed.

"Sorry, but I'm really in a hurry." Cassie just didn't understand her panic. Bella thought her lucky that she wasn't mixed up in the mythological world.

"So, who was in your room last night?" Bella froze and whirled around. Cassie held her spoon up, her eyebrow raised. Bella could make out a smirk on her perfect lips.

"No one." Bella lied immediately. Cassie rolled her eyes.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you a horrible liar?" Cassie asked. Her steady eye contact sent a shiver down Bella's spine. She stood and Bella noticed that Cassie was taller than her.

"It's okay, I won't tell. As long as you two didn't hug or anything like that." A grin pulled at her mouth, and like that, she was the young girl again.

Bella waited for Jake on the beach, who was surprised to see that Bella had accepted it. Bella explained the wolf hunt to Jake, who blew it off like it was nothing. Bella explained the Victoria situation to Jacob, who took this a lot more seriously. Bella met all the werewolves and they made her feel right at home.

When Spring break arrived, Bella found herself always taking up space in Billy's house. The short smiles they shared made her feel awkward. She found herself something to do by pacing up and down the beach.

Bella then noticed the cliffs. They were beautiful, in a cynical kind of way. She couldn't stop thinking about him; she needed a distraction, and why not jump? Hadn't Jake promised her cliff diving? She didn't have to give up the distraction she needed so badly from him because Jake was unavailable.

"Bella." She heard his voice. A small smile appeared on her lips. The dangers she put herself in would be with it.

"Don't do this." He pleaded.

You wanted me to be human. Well, watch me.

"Please, for me."

But you won't stay with me any other way.

"Please." To Bella, it sounded like a whisper in the wind. Bella stepped a few yards back to get a running start.

She ran at full speed at the cliff. "No, Bella!" She heard Edward yell. She could feel the wind in her hair. She could taste the freedom. Then, she fell flat on her face. She cried out in pain. It had felt like her foot collided with a brick. What had tripped her? She turned to see the culprit. At first glance, it looked like a brown brick. Looking closer, Bella could see it was still stuck to the ground. No, not stuck, attached. She looked up to see Cassie with folded arms, shaking her head at Bella.

Bella rubbed her eyes. When she looked back, booth Cassie and the brick were gone. Had she imagined it the way she still hears Edward? Had it been her unconsciously trying to stop herself?

"Hey Bella." Jakes voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Come on, let's go."

"Jake, what's wrong?" Bella asked, seeing something was off about her best friend.

"Harry Clearwater just had a heart attack."

Alright, guys. I gave you Jacob, now give me feedback! Hey, that kind of rhymed!
