DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM TWILIGHT. THEY ALL BELONG TO STEPHENIE MEYER.
Some of you are going to hate me for this but:
Jacob POV (Day 2 of Bella and Edward's honeymoon)
Some people might think I'm being obsessive, and yeah I might be, but I know that what I'm doing is right.
I was right to call Renee.
Everything that I've done is right.
Why can't everyone else see that?
I know why they can't. Because they're too taken in with his little sob story. They're being pulled in with his, and his family's lies. Even Bella has been. He's warped her mind. Made her believe that he's something he's not.
But I know better.
And he's even convinced her that she wants to marry him.
She's fucking engaged to the fucker!
I have to stop that wedding! That wedding cannot happen. But how can I stop it. I don't know how I can. I know that if I go to the Cullens' they'll probably have Charlie arrest me. And I don't want that. I had left them alone for the last few weeks, not wanting Bella to be any more mad at me than she already was. But I didn't really care about that anymore. I knew I couldn't let this wedding happen. It wouldn't happen until Bella came back after graduation. I was sure of that much. I just need to stop it happening somehow.
How can I do it though?
Then, it was as if a lightbulb went off in my head.
Renee.
She can stop the wedding from going ahead.
She'll stop it.
I practically ran out of my room, flipping through the numbers on my phone, looking for Renee's number.
I picked up my house phone and dialled Renee's number, praying that she would answer. She was the only one I knew of that would stop the wedding. I couldn't even rely on Charlie. He was as taken in by Edward's ploy as the rest of them. His tortured soul act. It seemed that the only one in the area who didn't buy it.
Well, that was about to change.
"Hello?" I let out a breath that I hadn't realised I was holding when I heard her answer.
"Renee?" I asked, making sure that it was her. "It's Jacob."
"Jacob!" That's good. She sounded happy to hear from me. She wouldn't be so happy when I told her the reason for my call. "How good to hear from you! What can I do for you?"
"Um," I didn't really know how to start. "Actually, it's about Bella."
"Is she still saying she's not coming to Phoenix?" She sighed. "Because after what you've told me about that boyfriend of hers." I smiled at the way she sneered the word "boyfriend" knowing full well that she would prefer Bella to be with me than him. "There is no way she's staying in Forks."
"Well, Renee, that's the thing." I leaned against the wall as I spoke. "He's not her boyfriend anymore. He's-"
"Good!" She cried. "At least she's done the right thing. She's still coming to Phoenix though. I don't want her anywhere near him. Who knows what he'll do now that she rejected him."
"Renee," I sighed. "That's not what I meant."
"What did you mean then?" She sounded confused now.
"They're engaged." I breathed, waiting nervously for her reply.
"I'm sorry." She laughed. "I must have misheard you. I thought I just heard you say that they're engaged."
"I did." I said slowly and her laughter stopped.
"What?!" She was furious. "When the fuck did this happen?!"
"A couple of weeks ago." I admitted. "Well, that's when I found out. I've been trying to figure out how to put a stop to it, but I've been coming up short. I thought you might have an idea of how to put a stop to it."
"Damn right I do!" She was severly pissed off now. "When the hell are they planning this for?"
"I'm not sure. Probably when Bella comes back to Forks." I breathed, wishing that I didn't have to say this. I hated that Bella was coming back only to be with him. I wanted her to come back so she could spend time with me and her friends here. Not so she could tie herself to some whacko.
"Well, she's not going back to Forks. If that's the case." She snarled. I hear footsteps coming from her end of the phone. I could tell that she was pacing from the repetitive sound of the steps. "I'm coming to Forks."
I stood up from the wall, grinning. This would definitely put a stop to the two of them. "Really?" I couldn't hide the glee in my voice. "When?"
"I'm going to book a flight for tomorrow. I'm going to put a stop to this once and for all." She sounded determined, and if she was anything like Bella, then I knew that there was going to be no stopping her. "There is no way she's marrying that sicko!" I couldn't help the grin when I heard her say that. I knew that Renee wouldn't be drawn in by his act. She would be the only one on my side.
"What time?" I asked her, not being able to contain my excitement. Finally, his little charade of being the "poor tortured teenager" would be torn to pieces.
"I'll be getting a morning flight. I want to see my daughter." She was seething. "I'm taking her with me when I leave as well. There's no way that I'm letting her stay til the end of the summer now that I know this is going on."
"Good." I grinned, leaning back against the wall. "She needs to be away from him as soon as possible. He's not good for her."
"I know." She agreed, seeming to have calmed down slightly. "Thank you for telling me this Jake. Now we can put a stop to this entire thing."
"I'll see you tomorrow then?" I didn't want to miss this. I wouldn't miss this for the world.
"Yes," She sighed. "I think I'm going to need you there. For support. You seem to be the only one who's seen this boy's true nature. Not fallen for his act. Even Charlie, who is normally such a good judge of character, despite his other flaws, has done nothing but sing his praises. If he can get to Charlie, well, the rest speaks for itself."
She was right. Charlie was normally such a good reader of people. But somehow, Edward had been able to fool him. Which was not a good thing. All it proved was that Edward was a better liar and actor than I or anyone else had given him credit for.
"Send me the information and I'll pick you up from the airport." I told her.
"Thank you, Jake." I could hear her smiling on the other end, just as I was. We were finally going to stop this charade of a relationship, once and for all.
We said our goodbyes and hung up. I don't know what I'd expected from this phonecall, but it wasn't this. This was too good for me to have imagined. I had to have been dreaming. Everything was going the way I wanted it too. There was no way that this was going to go ahead now. Not with Renee coming here.
I just about stopped myself doing a little happy dance right there in the kitchen as my Dad rolled in.
"What's got you in a good mood?" He scowled at me. He hadn't been happy with me ever since he'd found out that I'd called Renee. He was another one that Edward had managed to convince. I hated that my own father doubted my word, and was believing that freak over me.
"Nothing." I replied innocently, I grabbed a soda out of the fridge before walking through to the sitting room and turning on the TV.
I flicked through the different channels and finally settled on some cartoons. Something that suited my mood, which was happier than it had been in weeks. I was finally getting my way.
I heard the phone ring and my Dad answered it. I could hear him talking and his tone was light and happy. I heard him telling someone to congratulate someone. I shrugged not thinking anything of it. Couldn't be anyone around here. I didn't know who was doing anything or expecting anything worthy of congratulations. Unless Sam had gotten Emily pregnant or something like that. They might be young, but I knew that they were ready.
Now that was a relationship I approved of. Even if he was pissed at me right now. I didn't care. I knew I was right.
A moment later I heard my Dad hang up the phone and he rolled into the sitting room, a grin on his face.
"Who was that?" I asked, trying to act nonchalant.
"Charlie." He replied shortly, still smiling. "As it turns out, Edward and Bella got married two days ago. Beautiful ceremony apparently."
"WHAT?!" I jumped up and stared at my Dad, ready to explode. "What the fuck did you just say?!"
"Watch your language!" My Dad hated it when I swore, but at the moment I didn't really care.
"You did not just say that they're already married!" I squeezed my soda can, not caring that the contents came spilling out over my hand and covering the carpet. "But she's not eighteen yet! They can't be."
"With a parent's permission, yes they can." Billy replied smugly. "And as it so happens, Charlie gave permission, signed the marriage certificate and gave Bella away. It's done, Jacob. There's nothing anyone can do about it."
"Like hell there's not." I moved towards the door.
"They're not there anymore Jacob." My Dad called after me. "They're on their honeymoon, right now."
I stopped in my tracks.
Their honeymoon!
Who knew what they would be doing right now!
I did, and I didn't want to think about it.
They could not be married already.
This was not how this was supposed to go.
Renee was supposed to come here tomorrow, and stop this before anything like this could happen. This was not how things were supposed to go.
"Jacob, you have got to stop this." My Dad pleaded with me and I could hear him turn to face me in his chair. I could imagine the look on his face, so I didn't need to turn around to see it.
"Stop what, Dad?" I spat back. "Stop Bella making the biggest mistake of her life? Which I'm too late for now. If I'd known I could have stopped it. She's going to regret it, I know she is."
"This is what I'm talking about Jacob. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Bella and Edward are together now. They are husband and wife and there is nothing you, I nor anyone else can do about it." He sighed, exasperated. "Just let it go."
"No!" I shouted, slamming my fist into the wall next to me. "No! I can't just let it go! She doesn't know what a whacko she's married." I snarled the last word. "She's too taken in with him. Just like everyone else is. She doesn't see him for what he really is."
"Yes, Jacob, we do." My Dad was getting angry with me now, but honestly, I was too pissed to care. "He's a smart, sensitive young man, who has been through a lot in his life. Honestly, I think that he's what's right for Bella. She loves him. You seem to be the only one that can't handle that they're together, and honestly, after what you've done, I'm ashamed to call you my son."
"You're wrong Dad!" I snarled, turning to face him. "I'm not the only one that thinks that they shouldn't be together. Renee agrees with me."
"Only because you've fed her a whole load of lies." He snapped back at me. "I wish that you'd tell her you were lying. And I know you know you were, Jacob."
"I can't do that Dad." I grinned at him. "Not when she's on her way here."
"What did you just say?" He looked worried now. "She's coming here?"
"Yup." I replied, popping the "p". I crossed my arms over my chest and smirked at him.
"Why?!" He rolled towards me slightly, his face worried.
"Because she is." I left it at that and went to my room, not wanting to explain anything to my Dad. I knew that he wouldn't let up, and neither would I. We were both as stubborn as each other.
I locked my door and flopped down on my bed.
They couldn't be married.
It wasn't supposed to go this way.
This was all wrong!!
I was going to kill him. He took my Bella away from me.
She should have been with me. I was the person that she should have been with.
Before he had come along, Charlie was all for me and Bella being together. Even if she hadn't been open to the idea at the time, I knew that she would have come to see me as more than a friend eventually. That was inevitable.
And then he came along and screwed everything up. If it wasn't for him then Bella and I would be happily together by now. And now, I could only hope that she would see sense and divorce the fucker when she got the chance.
There was no way that this was going to last.
I gave it a month. Tops.
He was too screwed up for it to last longer than that.
I rolled over, closing my eyes, just wanting to forget about this day and wishing that it never happened. I wanted it to be like it was before he came along.
/////////
I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew was my Dad was banging on my door, yelling at me incoherently. Or at least to me it was.
I unlocked my door and opened it to find him glaring at me. "Renee's on the phone for you." I looked at the time on my watch and saw that it was just past ten o'clock in the morning.
I walked out into the kitchen and picked up the phone from where it was lying on the counter. "Hello?" I said into the receiver, my voice still thick with sleep.
"Jacob?" She sounded worried. "Where are you? Did you not get the details I sent through to you last night?"
"No." I admitted. "Sorry, I fell asleep not long after I got off the phone to you."
"Well, I'm at the airport in Port Angeles, or whatever its called. I think that's the name. Would you be able to come and get me?"
"Yeah," I nodded even though she couldn't see me. "I'll be there in a little while."
"Okay." I could hear the relief in her voice.
We said our goodbyes and I went and got changed. I didn't bother showering as I didn't want to leave her standing there for longer than necessary. I might have done some things recently that people didn't agree with, but hey, I'm still a gentleman where needs be. At least I thought so.
I left the house without saying goodbye to my Dad or explaining where I was going. There was no doubt he already knew, and had called Charlie telling him what he knew. I didn't care. He was going to get what was coming to him when Renee got to Forks.
I drove in silence, not wanting the disturbance of the radio coming through. I wasn't in the mood for it. I knew that all that would be played would be love songs. Hell, that was all that was ever played. All they did was remind me of Bella and him. I hated to think what they were doing right now. But it was ten in the freaking morning. They wouldn't be doing …… that……would they? I hated to think of anyone touching Bella in that way, let alone a crazy psycho fucker like him.
When I got to the small airport in Port Angeles, I saw Renee immediately. She looked tired. But then again, to get here at this time she would have had to get on the plane at … what…I don't know, some stupid time this morning. I wasn't sure of the time difference, but still, she looked exhausted.
I pulled up and she climbed in immediately, dumping her bag on the backseat.
"I can't thank you enough for all that you've done Jacob." She smiled at me. "Knowing what I do now means that I can get my daughter safely away from this boy." She sighed and shook her head. "What possessed her to get together with someone as …… unstable as this "Edward" I don't know. My little girl was always such a good judge of character. But obviously I was wrong about that." She turned to look out of the window. "Well, now I'm here I can put a stop to it." I saw her hand clench into a fist suddenly. "And I can talk some sense into that thick ex-husband of mine."
I was shocked at the venom in her voice at the last comment. I knew she was mad at Charlie, but I didn't know she was this mad. It made me smile to think that she would be getting her point across to everyone.
"If you want I can take you to where the psycho lives." I offered and her head snapped around at this. "Bella's there practically all the time, apparently."
"Then, yes." She nodded her head. "I think we'd best pay a visit to this boy's home."
The rest of the drive was silent and I knew that we were both anticipating the moment we got to a) Charlie's house and b) the Cullens. I couldn't wait to see the looks on their faces when we showed up and Renee gave them all a good bollocking.
She would throw it back into their faces, letting them know what everyone else was too stupid to tell them. One thing I loved about Renee.
She never held back.
Something else Bella got from her.
Well, sometimes anyway.
I made sure to pass the police station on the way through, checking to see if Charlie was there. He wasn't so we knew that he would be at home. He wouldn't be with my Dad. He would have told me if he was spending the day with Charlie. He always did, no matter how pissed he was with me. Not that I even cared anymore. We pulled up to Charlie's not much later and I noticed that his cruiser wasn't there. Neither was Bella's truck. She must have left it at the Cullens. I couldn't even stand to think their name.
"Where the hell are they?" Renee spat. "Charlie's not at work, so he should be here. Where the fuck is he?"
My grip tightened on the steering wheel. "I know where he is." I started the car again and turned around, taking the unfamiliar but unforgettable route to that dreaded house.
"Where are we going?" Renee sounded confused, not recognising the scenery around her. I'd forgotten she hadn't lived in or visited Forks for many years and so didn't know where we were headed.
"To his house." I snarled, my grip on the steering wheel tightening even more.
"Why are we going there?" She sounded confused and angry at the same time. I smiled, thinking of what would happen when she got going.
"Because that's where Charlie is." I explained, glancing at her out of the corner of my eye. "I know it."
She smiled evilly and settled back into the seat, just as I made the turn up the ridiculously long driveway that lead to their house. Who needs a driveway this long anyway.
As I pulled up to the stupidly large, white house I saw Charlie's cruiser and Bella's truck parked outside in the driveway. I also noticed that the garage door was open revealing his Volvo, two Mercedes, one black and one a deep blue, a large white Jeep, a yellow Porsche, a red BMW and a black motorcycle.
"Well, at least they have money." Renee sneered, her gaze running over all of the cars that were obviously made within the last five years. She climbed out of my car and slammed the door just as I did and we both stalked up to the house.
As we approached the door, she stopped and banged on it repeatedly and loudly I might add.
The door opened to reveal a kind looking woman, with light brown hair. She wore a concerned look, obviously wondering what could be the cause of the ruccus at the front door to her home. She smiled at Renee warmly but her smile disappeared when her gaze fell on me.
"Mom?" A voice called from inside. "Who is it?" I saw one of them walk up behind her. It was that big one. I couldn't remember his name, nor did I want to. "You!" He spat when he saw me. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
"Emmett!" The woman said, turning to face him. "Watch your tongue." She turned back to look at me. "Jacob, after everything that's happened I don't think that you should be here right now. I think it's best that you leave."
"No can do." I grinned. "I'm with her." I nodded my head towards a fuming Renee.
She turned back to Renee and smiled. "What can I do for you?" She asked kindly.
"I would like to see my daughter and ex-husband please." She smiled with fake innocence. That's another thing I loved about Renee. She could be so damn patronising when she wanted to be.
"Well, if it's Bella and Charlie you're referring to, then Bella's not here, but Charlie is." She turned around, looking back into the house. "Charlie!" She called. "There's someone here for you."
I heard him grumble something about wondering who could be here to see him. He stopped dead when he saw that it was me and Renee standing at the door.
"Charlie." Renee said, a slight sneer in her voice. "Where's Bella?"
"Not here, obviously." He said it as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I'll leave you to it." The woman looked at me. "I would prefer it if you stayed outside." She looked at me darkly. Well, at least now I could see where the kids got it from. It didn't escape my notice that the big one stood a little ways back from Charlie, glaring murderously at me the whole time. I noticed that the blonde one had joined him now. It didn't escape my notice that the girls were sitting on a step, watching the whole interaction as well. Backup, in case their brothers needed it obviously.
"Charlie." Renee's patience was wearing thin now. I could hear it in her voice. "Where. Is. Bella?"
"Not here." He stated, yet again, leaning on the doorframe now.
"Why not?" She turned to look at her truck. "I'm guessing that's the truck that she told me about when she first moved here." She looked back at Charlie, who nodded, confirming her assumption. "Well then, if her truck is here, then she must be too."
"No." Charlie replied, sounding bored. "Actually, she left it here before she and Edward went away."
"Went away where?" She was trying to keep her calm now, and she was beginning to fail.
"On their honeymoon." Charlie stated simply, knowing that he was getting to Renee. Who knew that Charlie had it in him?
"Sorry? What?" She shook her head and smiled at him as though he was making a joke.
"Oh, didn't he tell you?" He nodded at me without looking at me, showing that I wasn't welcome here. " Edward and Bella were married two days ago. We haven't heard from them yet, so they must be having a wonderful time."
I was sure that if I could see Renee's face properly she would have turned a lovely range of colours now. She was visibly shaking in anger. "WHAT?!"
This was going to get interesting.
Hate
me if you will, but this was a complete spur of the moment idea. Not
planned at all.
Do you want me to continue the confrontation that
is bound
to happen between Renee, Jacob, Charlie and the Cullens, or do you
want me to get back to Edward and Bella on their honeymoon.
It's
completely up to you.
And don't forget to take a leap over to my
profile and check out my sister's video accompaniment to "Saving
Edward". It's really good.
Reviews make me happy. They also
make me type faster :D
