"Swan residence," Jacob said, his husky voice low and intense. Someone answered, and Jacob altered in an instant. He straightened up and his eyes went flat, his face blank, and I would have bet the measly remainder of my college fund that it was Alice. I started dressing back, and then I held out my hand for the phone. Jake ignored me.
"He's not here," Jacob said, and the words were menacing. There was some very short reply, a request for more information it seemed, because he added unwillingly, "He's at the funeral." Then Jacob hung up the phone. "Filthy bloodsucker," he muttered under his breath. His face change bitter. "Who did you just hang up on?" I gasped, infuriated. "In my house and on my phone?"
"Easy! He hung up on me!"
" He? Who was it?" I thought it was Alice. " Dr. Carlisle Cullen." He sneered the title. I was furious "why didn't you let me talk to him?" "He didn't ask for you," Jacob said coldly as his face was expressionless. "He asked where Charlie was and I told him. I don't think I broke any rules of etiquette." Now he has made me upset, after our intimate moment, after I gave myself to him. Now he starts to act like jerk. "You listen to me, Jacob Black..." obviously he wasn't listening. He looked over to the window as if someone called him from there. His eyes went wide and his body stiffed. He started heading towards the window but was stopped before he reached there with Alice coming through the window.
Oh so this is the cause for Jacob's change for awhile ago, I was brought back to reality from my thoughts when I heard Jacob's growl. In front of me stood a motionless Alice, her skin was paler than usual, her slim body trembled to an inner turmoil… this couldn't be good. "What do you want bloodsucker" "none of your concern mutt" Alice replied Jacob. "Bella" she chocked. "Alice whats wrong?" I cried. I put my hands on her, trying to calm her.
Her eyes were focused on mine abruptly, wide with pain. "Edward," was all she whispered. My body reacted faster than my mind was able to catch up with the implications of her reply. I didn't at first understand why the room was spinning or where the hollow roar in my ears was coming from. My mind labored, unable to make sense of Alice's bleak face and how it could possibly relate to Edward, you can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I'd never existed.
Yeah this is really helping Edward, as if you never existed. He left me after all we been and what can he say be happy? Even though it's impossible to forget him, I tried moving on with, w Jacob and I did. He actually accepted me, even though I was broken, he loved me for who I was not regret because I was human. He accepted me with open heart even though he knows my heart still belongs to him. With what Jacob and I shared a few moments ago, was priceless I could have never had done that with you unless I was changed as a vampire. I thought things will go back to normal. And now he just has to ruin it, Now he calls! For what?! To know whether I'm still alive?! My body was already swaying, seeking the relief of unconsciousness before the reality could hit me.
Jacob's furious voice was suddenly in my ear, hissing out a stream of profanities. I felt a vague disapproval. His new friends were clearly a bad influence. "What did you do to her?" he demanded. Alice ignored him. "Bella? Bella, snap out of it. We have to hurry." Hurry ? Where? "Stay back," Jacob warned. "Calm down Jacob black," Alice ordered. "You don't wanna do that so close to her." "I don't think I'll have any problem keeping my focus," he retorted.
"Alice?" My voice was weak. "What happened?" I asked, even though I didn't want to hear.
"I don't know," she suddenly wailed "what was he thinking?!" I labored to pull myself up despite the dizziness. I realized, I was wrapped with Jacobs arms. He pulled me, as now my back was against his chest, it was comforting. My eyes relocated her when I saw Alice was pulling a small silver phone from her bag. Her fingers dialed the numbers so fast they were a blur. "Rose, I need to talk to Carlisle now." Her voiced whipped. From then I listened carefully to the conversation between Alice and Rosalie, a heated exchange between the sisters as I try to follow their conversation.
It's getting no where. I'm confused now. We were getting broken information that was leading no where. Alice ended the call and we begin to sort through the fragmented pieces of information that we received from Rosalie to reveal what had actually happened. "Rosalie called Edward to tell him that you were dead, based on the vision that I had of you before" Alice said with stressing every word. She is feeling that its all that is happening now is her fault." And the "Dr. Carlisle Cullen" who called was in fact..." Alice said as I interrupted her mid way "Edward." Was all I could say to continue her. So it was Edward who called.
"The response from Jacob on the other end of the phone when he said "He's at the funeral" only served to confirm your death Bella" Alice said in horror. Alice continued "I tried calling his phone just now but a stranger answered the phone" Wait he dumped his phone?! "Where could have he gone?" I asked. "Bella... he's gone to meet The Volturi in Italy" Alice replied. Why would he wanna go and meet them? Unless … I stopped right... I stopped all my thoughts right there. No... No... He couldn't possibly want himself death. This is ridiculous. He left me. He didn't want me anymore. So why should he care? But none of that mattered now. I have to save him. I have to save Edward before it's too late.
"Alice we have to safe him. I have to save him" that was all that Alice need to hear. She instructs me to write a letter to Charlie and get my I.D and passport as well while she arranges the flight. We were going to Italy. Without hesitation I got up from Jacob, Alice already explained the dangers but I am willing to risk it all just to save him. He is my life, my significant other, I could not let him die. As I was just about to go to my closet, but was stopped when a strong warm hand grabbed me. I turned back and I saw Jacob grabbing my hand, his face had the confused look. I didn't have the time to argue with him.
"Bella what are doing" he asked what? Was he a fool ?! Wasn't he there when Alice and I were talking about the situation. As I thought I have no time to argue with him "Jacob let me go! I'm going to Italy to save Edward" I said forcefully without looking in his eyes. "What?! Bella you couldn't be serious..." he said in disbelief "I thought you love me, I thought you said that you accepted me. You still want him after what he did to you" "Jake..." I started " I do love you but you do know I still love him, Jake his my life, he's my everything I can't let him die" "Then, what happened between us all these while and just now was all lie? He asked, while trying to control his temper.
"Jake what happened before was all just friendship... I never put you in my heart in a romantic way" I lied, I just couldn't tell him the truth not now, he doesn't deserve it "what happened just now between us was a mistake nothing more" a mistake that I will never regret. At that instant he let go of my arm, I guess it brought more effect on him than I thought. He was shocked by what I said. I saw his eyes went blank and his face was motionless. I feel bad for hurting him. But I had to choose Edward over him.
I rushed to my closet as I know there wasn't much time left, I got all the stuff that Alice told me to get. My heart panged in regret as I remembered the last time I ran out of the house like this. Last time it was running from danger. This time I am running towards it. I was just about to leave, to join Alice in the Mercedes. But was stopped when a pair of arms hugged me from behind. "Don't leave... please" Jake whispered to my ear "Please Bella, I beg you... I can't live without you...please don't go...I love you" he was pleading with teary eyes. this was just too much for me to handle. "Jake ... I'm sorry but I can't accept your love. No body can replace him in my heart and you know that...please don't make this hard, you should understand"
"Jacob please do me a favor" I asked, I know I have done and left too much bad affects on him and I still expect t him to help me but I really need this. He looked in my eyes waiting for me say something "could you please take care of Charlie while I'm gone? Please" I pleaded him. "Treaty or no treaty I promise you I will protect Charlie with all my life" "is this what you really want bells" he asked I nodded and said "yes, this is ... I need him...i need Edward like I need you, he meants a lot to me and if I can't save him... it will hurt me a lot me" " bells I promise you that I won't hurt … but if this is what you then I can't do anything" with that said Jacob stepped aside while I locked the door. In desperation, worried this would be the last time that I will ever see Jacob again I threw my arms around him and then kissed the palm of his hand.
I couldn't bear to look him in the eye before, but as Alice spun the car around in a squeal of shrieking tires I just had to do it. I called out to him once more. "Take care of Charlie!", but Jacob wasn't there. Only a shred of white tennis shoe remained on the edge of the forest. I'm sorry Jacob. Was all that I could say to him after everything he has done to me.
