Tessa P.O.V.
I was awaken by the soft sobs of a woman. I opened my eyes, blinking a few times to let them adjust to the light. I noticed I was no longer at the Cullens, but in an actual hospital. Again, I heard the sobs, coming from my right, so I turned my head, only to see my mother. She had her head down on the bed beside me, my hand in hers.
"Mom?" I said. Her head shot up, her blue tear stained eyes staring at me.
"Elizabeth!" She cried out.
"Mom, what are you doing her, in Forks?" I asked.
"Charlie called. He said that you had had an accident." She cried, kissing my hand.
"Im so glad youre alright. I was so scared." She said.
"What did Charlie say?" I asked, curious as to what he told her.
"He said that you were running down some stairs when you tripped and fell, throwing yourself out a three story window." She said.
"Oh." I said. I look up just as Bella walks in. She gave me a sad smile.
"Hey." She said, coming over, hugging me gently.
"Hey." I said, as she pulled away.
"Hows your neck?" She asked, looking into my eyes. I looked at her. There was something behind her words. They told her.
"Mom, can I talk to Bella alone for a minute?" I asked, not taking my eyes off her.
"Sure sweetie. Ill be down in the cafeteria with Charlie, getting a coffee." She said, kissing my hair before leaving.
"How much did they tell you?" I asked her.
"A lot." She said.
"Like?" I said.
"How they are vampires. How Edward killed James, Victorias mate and the woman who almost killed you. And how they dont feed off humans, but animals." She said.
"Oh." Was all I said. I then noticed her right hand was wrapped up.
"What happened to your hand?" I asked. She looked down at her hand, then back at me. She had a look of anger and guilt in her eyes.
"I kind of , punched Edward in the face." She said.
"Kind of?" I asked.
"I did." She said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Victoria almost killed you because of him." She growled.
"Wait a minute, where is Edward? Where are the Cullens?" I asked, looking around, realizing they were no where to be found. I looked at my sister.
"Bella?" I said.
"Tessa, Im sorry." She said.
"Sorry? For what?" I asked, my heart starting to beat faster.
"Tessa, Edwards gone. They all left." She said.
" What?" I gasped.
"They said their goodbyes and left." She said.
"When?" I asked, tears filling my eyes.
"Last week." She said. I gasped.
"Why?" I cried.
"Tessa, it doesnt matter why they left. You deserve a better life, a norman human life." She said. I gasped, looking up at her.
"Oh my god." I cried, more tears coming.
"What is it?" She asked.
"You blamed Edward for this, didnt you?" I snapped.
"Tessa, youre my sister, I had to protec-"
"I loved him Bella! Why would you do this?" I cried.
"It was his fault Tessa. He put you here, not me. If he loved you at all, he should have left!" She snapped.
"Did you tell him that?" I gasped. She didnt say anything.
"Isabella! Did you tell him that?" I snapped.
"Yes! I told him if he loved you as much as he claimed to, he would leave, give you a chance at a better life." She said. I could feel my heart start spiraling out of control out of hurt and anger towards my sister.
"Why! Why did you say that? Why would you tell him that!?" I screamed. Suddenly, mom, dad, and three doctors rushed into the room.
"Tessa, sweetie, you have to calm down. Youre hearts beating to fast." The doctor said, trying to calm me down. I glared at my sister.
"Get out!" I screamed.
"Tessa, I was only tryi-"
"Get out! I want you out!" I screamed. I could see mom and dad crying, dads arms wrapped around mom, comforting her.
"Tessa, sweetie-" The doctor started.
"No, I want her out of my room! Now! Get Out! Bella get out! I dont want you here! I dont ever want to see you again! Get out!" I screamed.
I didnt care that she was crying. All I could think about when I looked at her was how she told Edward to leave. To leave me. How could she do that to me? She was my sister, yet she convinced the one person who made me happy, I was better off without him.
"Im so sorry." She cried, leaving the room. Dad then rushed forward.
"Sweetie, please, calm down." He said. Tears escaped my eyes as I looked up at my dad.
"Theyre gone Dad. She made him leave." I cried. He pulled me into a hug. I clung to my father tightly, as if my life depended on it.
"Baby, I am so sorry." He cried, kissing my hair.
"Why would she do that? Why would she do this to me?" I cried. I then pulled away, looking up at my parents.
"What did I do? Does she hate me?" I cried. Mom sat down beside me.
"No, sweetie. Your sister loves you." She said, stroking my chek.
"Then why did she do this? Why would she tell him to leave?" I cried.
"I dont know. She probably thought she was protecting your heart." She said.
"But she wasn't" I said. I then looked into my mothers eyes.
"I can feel my heart breaking. It hurts so bad." I cried, more tears coming.
"Oh. Baby, I'm so sorry." Mom said, wrapping her arms around me.
I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, I saw that my parents were no longer in my room. I then thought of Bella and how I exploded on her. She was only worried about me and really thought she was protecting me. She was only trying to protect me and here I was, snapping on her.
I sighed.
I pulled the covers off, threw my legs over the edge of the bed, and climbed down from the bed. I grabbed hold of the IV stand, and made my way to the door. I made my way down to the waiting room, looking for my sister.
I round the corner into the family lounge, where I saw Isabella sitting off in the corner alone, away from the other fifteen people in the lounge. She was crying. I felt a tear escape my eye.
"Bella." I cried. She looked up at me and so did the group of people in the room.
"Tessa." She said, getting to her feet. She took a few steps forward, stopping five feet from me.
"Tessa, I am so sorr-"
"I'm sorry." I said. She looked confused.
"What?" She asked.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for screaming at you, for blaming you. I never should have yelled at you, when you were only trying to protect me. You're my big sister and I love you. I probably would have done the same thing." I said.
" Tes-" I stopped her.
"No, let me finish. I should have let you explain instead of going of on you the way I did." I said. I then moved closer to her.
"Can you ever forgive me?" I asked, a tear escaping my eye. She took my hand in hers and gave a soft smile, a tear escaping her eye.
"I will always love you. I'm sorry for everything I did. I was just so angry because I almost lost you. I wasn't thinking straight." She said.
"Sooo, I guess that's a yes on forgiving me?" I asked. She let out a soft chuckle.
"You're forgiven. Though there was nothing to forgive. I would have responded the same way."She said. I smiled.
"Now, will you forgive me?" She asked.
"Hmmm, let me think about that." I said.
"Elizabeth." She said. I smiled.
"Ofcourse I forgive you. You're my sister." I said. She then pulled me into a hug.
"I highly recommend counceling." She said. I laughed as we pulled away.
"I check up on that." I said.
Seven Months Later
It's been five months since He and his family left Forks. I'm not going to lie, it's hard not seeing them. Not seeing Him anymore. That was until I met Jacob Black.
Three months ago Bella and I were walking around the reservation when we saw a group of bot jumping off a clff and into the water. Bella wanted to leave, but I wanted to go over, so, we did. Since that day, Jacob and the boys and I have been friends. I could tell Jacob liked me, but I didn't mind. It was flattering. He was also older than me.
"Izzy!" Jake called out my new nickname. I smiled at him.
"What is it Jakie?" I asked, using my nickname for him. He smiled.
"Lets go to the movies tonite." He suggested.
"What are you up to Black?" I asked.
"Why do I have to be up to something in order to take my best friend to the movies?" He asked. I sighed.
"Fine, but it has to be a scary movie." I said, smiling. he smiled back.
"Deal." He said.
Back at home, I got ready to go out with Jakie.
"It is not a date Bella. It's just friends going to the movies." I said.
"Are you sure Jake sees it that way?" She asked. I sighed, looking at her.
"I think you and Jakie should go out." I said. Her eyes widened.
"What?" She gasped.
"You heard me. You two would make a beautiful couple." I said.
"Really?" She asked, considering the idea. I smiled.
"Yes, really." I said.
"Tessa, Jakes here." Dad yelled from down stairs. Bella and I made our way down the stairs and to the living room. Dad and Jakie were laughing about something. I could tell Dad liked Jakie. He says Jakie's the reason I'm not as sad as I was before. And he was right. Without Jakie, I would probably be cooped up in my room. I know he hates HIM. He blames HIM for breaking my heart, though I don't see it that way. Yes, He broke my heart, but he thought leaving would protect me, give me a better life.
"Hey Jakie. You ready?" I asked. He turned to look at me.
"H- hey." He choked out. I smiled.
"H-hey back at you." I laughed.
"You look great." He said.
"Thank you. So do you." I said. I then noticed Bella staring at him.
"Bella thinks so too." I said. The two of them blushed.
"O-kay. I hope you kids have a good time. Jake, have my little girl back by eleven." He said. I smiled at Dad before leaving.
We decided to see Darkness Falls.
"I think that was the first and only movie that I have ever seen that was actually some what scary." I said, as we exited the movie theareter.
"Did you have fun?" He asked. I smiled at him.
"Yeah, I had a great time." I said. He smiled. Suddenly, he was serious as we walked further away from the theareter.
"Jakie, is something wrong?" I asked.
"No, nothings wrong. I just-" He stopped.
"You just what?" I asked.
"I have to tell you something." He said. I stopped and looked at him.
"What is it Jakie?" I asked.
"Do you remember what I said imprinting was?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yeah. It's when a shapeshifter finds that one person he loves. Either as a sister or brother, or as a lover. Why?" I asked.
"The reason I asked is...I imprinted on someone." He said. I squealed, jumping into his arms.
"Oh My God! Jakie! That's great! I'm so happy for you!" I screamed. He wrapped his arms around me, holding onto me tightly, then loosening his grip.
"That someone...is you." He said. I slowly pulled away, looking into his eyes. He was serious.
"You're serious." I said.
"Yeah." He said. I took a step back.
"Jakie, I-" He stopped me.
"Izzy, I don't exspect you to feel the same way, I don't. I know you still love him." He snarled when he said him.
"I told you because I thought you had the right to know. I'm not going to lie, I love you, very much. I just don't know what kind of love, yet." He said. I smiled softly.
"I love you Jake, very much. You helped me through the toughest part of my life, and for that I will always be greatful to you." I said. He smiled, then was serious again.
"Can I ask for one thing? I just- I-"
I knew what he wanted. And to tell the truth, I wanted the same thing. I've always wanted to know what it felt like to kiss Jacob Black. He was beautiful and I do love him, but as a brother, or maybe more. I don't know.
"Jakie, it's okay. I know what it is." I said.
"You do?" He asked, blushing.
"Yeah." I said.
"How?" He asked. I smiled softly.
"I want the same thing. I need closure. I need to know if I love you more than I think I do." I said.
He stepped closer, resting the palm of his hand on my cheek. I blushed under his touch. He smiled.
"You're blushing." He said. I blushed again.
"I've never seen you blush before." He said. I smiled.
"I'd never seen you blush before either." I said. He blushed and I smiled.
He then placed his other hand on my other cheek, leaning down and crashing his soft, warm lips down apon mine. I rested my hands on his waist, then moved them up and around his neck, pulling him closer. The kiss was filled with love, want, and desire. His arms snaked around my waist, pulling me closer. After what seemed like hours, he slowly pulled away, resting his forhead against mine, us both breathing heavily.
He smield down at me.
"I don't think I can love you as a brother after that." I said, chuckling. He let out a husky laugh.
"Nor do I think I could love you as a sister." He said. I then looked up at him.
"BFF's?" I suggested. He smiled.
"BFFE's." He said. I smiled.
"Best Friends For Eternity." I said. He smiled.
"For Eternity." He said.
We were walking up the sidewalk to the door. I turned to Jacob.
"Bella likes you. I think you should ask her out Friday night." I said. He smiled.
"Okay. I'll make sure I do that." He said. I smiled. I turned to open the door, when he grabbed hold of my wrist.
"What's wrong Jakie?" I asked. Instead of answering, he moved closer, crashing his lips down onto mine. I immediately kissed him back.
One minute later, I pulled away, smiling up at him.
"I love you." He said. I blushed.
"I love you too." I said.
"Good night, Izzy." He said, as I headed inside.
"Good Night, Jakie." I said, before shutting the door. I turned around to see Bella and Dad standing there. Bella was smiling, and Dad looked a little angry.
