Jacob pov, from when Jacob was going back home to rest The words in italic are conversation between Jake, embry and Sam in their minds while they were phased in wolf form.
"Jake go home and rest you seem exhausted. See you soon." With that Sam left but before he left he asked embry to escorts me back home cause I looked like I was about to faint any moment. Embry kept talking to get me distracted while we are on our way home. "Hey Jake, can I ask you something?" I turned to look at him "what?" "No... It's just... well...you know I respect your relationship with Bella but..." "Stop right there" I said in anger while glaring at him. Is embry trying to pick a fight again? I don't think I can't control my temper much longer and the condition might get worse since I'm already phased in wolf form. "No ... Jake just hear me out" embry pleaded.
"No ... whatever you have to say just keep it to yourself" I snapped at him. "Jake, how am I suppose to do that, you can know whatever that's going through my head, I am phased... can't you see? Embry said as if I didn't notice that his phased. "Then stop thinking about me and Bella! Besides it's none of your business to interfere in my relationship with her" I continued walking, ok that was harsh. I thought to myself; I heard embry yell in my mind "ya think?" dam I forgot that his phased "hell yeah, you forgot I phased" embry continued. Urggh...this is getting annoying. "Huh? What did say? I can't hear ya clear Jake" I know very well embry did that so that he could have my attention.
"Ok ... you got me, I'm all ears, spill it faster" I said in annoyed tone. "Finally" embry muttered. "But I am warning you, if this goes over the limit. I won't hesitate to kill you" I warned him. "It wont, you have my word" he replied. He continued "Jake... I am not complaining or trying to offend. Just hear me out ok? This is my point of view of your situation and I want you to know if what you are doing is the right thing. If that is what you really want". I sighed "here we go again" "Jake ...she left you after you healed her, you were there when she needed you, and she goes off when you need her and what you are trying to do now is leaving us, your family to track down a leech who's coming after her" he paused waiting for my reply " well .. What's your point" I asked him back. "Jake, you have got to be kidding me! Open your eyes, look around...what do you see?" he asked...i answered him "err... trees and leaves" he stared at me for awhile he said disbelief "Jake, I think you hit your head somewhere yesterday. You better take pills before you go to bed. And well basically yeah we are surrounded by trees and leaves but that's not my point".
He sighed and then continued "Jake ...look she's not here but we are. You don't have to do this for her. She doesn't deserve it. You have done enough for her. Just stop thinking about her; putting her needs before you. This isn't how its suppose to be. I'm sorry man... I feel bad for you. As a brother I feel helpless since you won't let me help you." "You don't have to do anything. I got all figured out. And embry I can't stop thinking about her, I love her; it's my duty to protect my imprint" "heck no.!! you are freaking wrong!" by now embry was yelling " if she is your imprint, she would have felt hurt just like you when she left, Jake you can protect if she listens to you but no she keeps running to danger. Even now she went for that bloodsucker after all you warning. Jake you don't need her, she clearly states that she needs him and not you but we... need you. Please don't go"
"Embry, you better get going. I can see Billy from here... bye..." with that I phased, I didn't even wait for his respone; hopefully he understands to respect my decision from now on. Now I have bigger problems. Where in the heck are my clothes? Well it's just dad, it's not like he has never seen me naked before, he won't mind. With that I made my way from the woods to my house. I heard dad's wheelchair made a noise, he's approaching me, I don't think I want to talk to anyone now. So I try to avoid him, so I made my way straight to my room. "Where do you think you are going" dang... he is fast even when he is in the wheelchair. "Dad, I'm gona get dressed" "we need to talk, I will wait for you in the kitchen" oh boy… this is gona be long. I took out my sweat shirt and shorts from the cupboard and well I started to clean up my room. I want to delay this talk as much as I can.
I came out of my room an hour later, I'm sure he would have let go of 'the talk' he wanted.., but my mistake. I saw dad still waiting for me in the kitchen. An hour passed by but he's still there. Man!.. He's stubborn. I guess that's where I get my stubbornness from. Well I still have chance to avoid it, so I headed to the living room. "Jake, come here" I heard him call as soon as he saw me avoid him "dad, I'm tired. I don't wanna talk now" not now and forever. "No, we need to talk now" he was stressing every word. "Dad, there's nothing to talk about, I don't want any one lecturing me about my actions. I'm old enough to think for my own" well I guess I was kinda harsh but if it's the only way to make him stop questioning me then I have no other choice. "Jacob eupherium black! you listen to me. I am your father and I have all the rights to question your strange behavior." Well apparently that didn't go as I planned. I remained silence; not wanting to complicate the situation more. At first he looked furious after awhile his facial expression changed to a calmer state. "Jake, what happened? Did something happen?" he said with a concerned look on his face. I shook my head and said "no, nothing dad..." "Jake, you're my son. I know you well enough. There is something wrong. You know you can tell me anything right? You trust your old man right?" man! He is making this hard. "Did something happen between you and Bella?" I turned to look at him in the eye when he mentioned bells name. "Ooh, soo that's your problem." "No, not at all. What makes you think that?" I shot him back. "Well by the look on your face just now, I think it's her. And by the way Charlie called yesterday and he said Bella left home with Alice; he said in the note, it is stated that Bella said it's urgent. Care to explain son?"
"No ... I didn't know that bells left home" I lied. "When did she left?" I asked trying to act as if I didn't know. "Jake... you and I both know that you are involved in this. Sam told me yesterday that you couldn't attend Harry's funeral because you went to see Bella. And right after your visit all this happen. " He said while raising an eye brow. "coincidence"I replied lamely. "Jake ... stop fooling around. As your father I have the right to know... Jake please just tells what's going on" he said as if I'm going to tell. "Dad... there's nothing going on. Bella probably had some work to do and stop asking me as if I know everything. " with that I stormed to the living room. I turned on the TV and started flipping the channels, i tried to concentrate on the TV but my mind kept thinking bells, then I heard something in the kitchen.
So I ran to the kitchen, and guess what? I saw a glass bowl shattered on the floor, dad tried to get the bowl but I guess he didn't reach it. I saw trying pick up the broken pieces of the glass. "Dad its ok, I can take care of this." I said reassuring him. "No son, I can't handle it. I don't need your help since you don't need mine anymore." He said sarcastically. Ooh boy... now he's sulking. "Dad, come on. I told you I don't know anything about bells and nothing is going on with me" "then swear to me that you are telling the truth" he said, while glaring at me in the eye. "Fine, what do you wanna know ?" I just can't take it. "Well, for starting, why did Bella left?" Starting?? There's more... oh brother… "Well she got a phone call stating that leech was in danger, so she left to save him" I muttered in anger. "You mean Edward?" he asked disbeliefly. "Yeah, him" I said not wanting to even mention his name. "I thought Charlie said you two were dating?" what!! "No dad, we never dated, happy now? Is there anything else you want to know?!" why did he have to bring it up?
"Calm down son, I understand your feelings. It's ok. You tried your best to protect her but if she chooses to be with them, there's nothing we can do." Yeah right dad, you want me to calm down when my imprint is with a bunch of bloodsuckers and I'm here helpless. Way to go dad. "Besides, it's not that you can't find another girl. You just need some time to adjust that's all." How can I possibly move on over my imprint, it would have been easier if she was just Bella, my best friend and not my imprint but even so I don't regret imprinting her? "Dad I'm going to bed, I will see you in the morning and if Sam called ask him to put some one on patrol at Charlie's house" with that I made my to bed. I lied there staring at the ceiling; thinking of the things that happened to me in the past few days. It all seems as if it's all a dream but yet it's the reality. Bells left with that pixie yesterday and today it's almost coming to an end; it's just the end of second day after bells left me but it feels as if half of me is dead. I feel so lifeless. I lay on the bed waiting sleep to approach me but it seems that it isn't going to. I heard the phone ring twice, I was about to get up to get the phone but it stopped. I guess dad took the call; it must be Sam so I fell back on the bed hoping to get some shut eye. I felt my eyes got heavier and heavier and then it's all pitch-black.
[The next morning]
I got up by the sound of my alarm, it is 11.00 am. Great, I overslept. Then I showered, when I came out of the bathroom I smelled pancakes... emm... yummy... I quickly got dressed and I went to the kitchen counter I saw dad flipping pancakes. So I helped myself with a few pancakes and milk. "Sleep well?" my dad asked. "Emm... yeah, never been better" I lied while a putting on my famous Jacob smile. "Really, good" well the rest went as usual. After we had breakfast, I started doing the dishes. That's when it happened. "So Jake..." "Yeah ...dad?" I said while wiping the plate. He then continue "what were you and Bella doing before she left?" well... gee... dad , we made love and you wanna know the best of it, I imprinted on her and you know what happened next she left. "Well the usual, we just talked. That's all" I said, I made it short and simple. "Oh but you forgot to mention the part, you imprinted on her?" I didn't reply him, I just glared at him. How in the heck, did he knew that "Sam told me yesterday" he said as if he read my mind. "Is it true?" he asked. I just nodded in reply. "How are you handling this Jake? Even after your mom passed away; it's been a few years already but still I feel hurt. As if there's a hole in my heart. And here you are standing as if nothing happened" "what do you want me to do dad? Kill myself? I wish I could and I will as soon as I finish my duty." "Jake stops talking nonsense!" he was yelling at me. "Dad, it's the truth. As soon as bells get here. I'm out of here, I got some things to handle on my own" I said trying to keep my emotion under control. "Some things?? As in?" he kept asking. Well lke hunting down that red-hair which is keep messing with my imprint but I won't tell you that dad. "I'm sorry dad but it's personal" I said. "Fine but don't even think of coming back here, if you leave" "dad, its ok. Besides I don't have any intention of coming back." I shot at him back. With that I left. I went out, I phased as soon as I could and I just ran into the woods not caring about anything.
I don't care what anyone thinks. I made up my mind and I going to follow it since it's the only way bells and I both won't have to suffer. If I stay it would just make her relationship more complicated and I don't want bells hurt because of me and if I did stay it would make me hurt as well seeing my girl; my imprint in the hand of another. I couldn't bear it. Now I'm heading to Charlie's, to check out on him, the closer I get to Charlie's house the more the stench gets strong. I stopped to determine what smell it was. Wait. It's the leech. Oh god she's after Charlie. I got to go quick… with that I ran with all the strength I had in me. I arrived there a short while later, on my way I informed the pack about my discovery but its turned out it was bells. She came back; Seth is on patrol now so he told us. Well I was shouting at Seth for not telling me about bells return sooner. He replied that he was scared that I would leave as soon as I got to know bells return. I understand his concerned but I have the right to know what's happening to bells. Before I meet bells, I want to know what happened here, so I talked to Seth first before meeting bells.
"Seth... how is she? When did she arrive? Did Charlie scold her?" I asked him. "Yes, she's fine. Just a few hours ago with a few leeches and yes, he was about to scold her but she fainted before he even began." "What?! She fainted?! Bye Seth". With that I was about to phased back to human form to check on bells. But then I was pushed to the side by Seth "hey what was that for?"I yelled at him. "Jake, you didn't even let me finish. Hold your horses. Yes she fainted, and the leech brought her into the house but I saw her leaving with the leech, a few minutes ago." "What?" I asked him in disbelief. I guess I lost her for good this time. "Jake stops saying that!!" I forgot he is phased, so am i. "I'm sorry, well I better get going. Bye" "Jake wait... Are you leaving?" "No" I lied to him with that I ran back home not waiting for his response. As soon I as got there I phased back. Well she's here happy with that bloodsucker; I guess its time for me to leave. I ran through my clothes, I changed to my new sweat shirt and shorts. After I finished clearing up everything, I wrote a note to dad and I left at the kitchen counter. I stood outside my house; while staring at it for a while. This is home, where I grew up. I have never thought of leaving it but I guess things change over time. So do human, bells and I were happy back when we were still kids but now …I started remembering back everything both I and bells shared. Then it hit me, bells bike. It's still with me. Well it's her's but charlie would kill her if he knew it's hers but I want her to have to it. It has so much memories of me in it. Atleast whenever she looks at it, she would remember me. I gotta give it back to her but Charlie would know. I started thinking for an excuse to give to Charlie about this bike, then I got it, so I sat down and wrote a note to give to bells.
I left my garage and into the woods. I arrived at Charlie's very quick this time. I was standing in front of bells house door for awhile. Man! I'm so dam nervous. Man up Jake! I thought to myself. Ok here goes nothing, and then I knocked the door. It took Charlie a while before he got it. "Oh hey Jake, come in. I will wake up bells for you, she is sleeping now" Charlie said in his usual tone. "No... No... Its ok…"well I guess bells left without Charlie's permission "oh so, is there an other reason for you to be here?" "Well, yes sir. You see I'm going to visit my relation in the south and well it might be awhile for me to be back. So I wanted to give bells her present for her next birthday in advance." i said...with a sad tone. "Oh, well I'm sure bells would be happy to have it, south you say? Well can't you delay your trip a bit there has been some bear sighting here and its dangerous for you move around and is Billy going with you?" "Yes south sir, no I'm afraid if I don't go now. I might disappoint them since they are expecting me soon. Don't worry, I'm sure this old Jake can take care of himself and just me. dad's gona stay behind but he will catch up later" I chuckled as if dad even knows that I'm leaving. "Ok, you be sure to take care of yourself ok? If anything happens to you bells would be broken you know?" well she's the whole reason of my departure. Charlie interrupted "uh not wanting to be rude or anything but where's the gift boy?" "Oh yeah, sorry I forgot." I brought bells bike from the side of Charlie's house to the front door. "So where is it?" he asked. "Well this is it" I said while patting the bike "wait what! You bought her a bike? Jacob black! What did you get the money from to buy her this? did ya rob a bank or something?" "No ...no... I bought from the parts from the dumpster and the rest I got for half price from a friend" man... I'm a hell of a liar…!! "Oh ... but seriously you shouldn't have. Besides she doesn't even know how to ride a bike." "No... No you must accept it. It's my gift to Bella and I'm sure you can teach her." "Well I better get going... see you" "ooh so soon... well ok then. Do you want to leave a message for bells?" " uhmm.. No sir... but… I guess you could help me. Could you pass this note to bells?" "Yeah ... sure jake... take care ok...you are not only billy's son mine as well ok" I only smile in reply. Good bye my love, I will always love you bella.
