A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Here it is. I speak Spanish, so I'm sorry for some mistakes! If you can listen to 'White Horse' by Taylor Swift while reading this chapter, it gives more intensity :). PLEASE comment back telling me what you think about it!

Chapter 13
The three of us knew who was on that motorbike – I could see that for their torn expressions. No one moved, we all stayed as frozen statues. What scared me the most was Edward's face, his features were dangerous. His eyes darkened, his mouth in a thin line, his fists clenched.
My heart pounced with violence as I heard the sound stopped abruptly – and just too near from my house. I needed to grab the sides of the sofa in order not to disarm me – I suddenly felt as weak as ever. And the whole in my chest was showing its presence.
Edward's eyes were intense when he stood up with a fast movement. I met his eyes with desperation.
"Stay here." he muttered cautioning with his index on the air.
I couldn't believe this was happening. I couldn't believe he was here. The words were buried deep down my body, but I made the impossible to let them out. "B-but Edward, wh-what---"
"Just stay here, Bell. I'll be back in just some minutes." He almost growled as he stormed through the door.
Angela was by my side in a second, pulling me into a sweet hug. But I was just too anxious, too hysteric to let her calm me down. So even without thinking it twice I stood up and tried to reach the door despite my shaky legs. I was seriously weak – the pain of knowing he was just mere meters of me, from all this time we'd been apart, was barely killing me.
"Bella, don't go—" Angela shouted, but I was already outside.
OUCH. OUCH. OUCH.
That was the first feeling when I saw his still too beautiful face. OUCH. It ached inside so much… As if I were a drug addict and I'd suddenly had that drug back, the one my body had been aching since the very first day.
He was still sitting in his black motorbike at the beginning of my block. I could see Edward approaching him with sure steps, his head up as if wanting to provoke scare.
I made my best to stay calm, but I just wanted to run to the stop, to see him from a closer place. So I made a quick pace, though my feet were threatening to give me away to the ground.
Jacob's eyes were in Edward's. And they were kind of sarcastic. Oh, that son of a b*tch! How dare he come to my house with that look on his face? I suddenly wanted to erase it with my fist. But I just took a deep breathe and keep walking – faster now.
Suddenly Jacob's eyes went from Edward's to mine. He looked at me so deeply that I thought they were going to kill me now and here. I wanted to look away, but I just couldn't. He was just so different… so grown up. Almost like a man.
His body was enormous, and his features older – as if he'd lived things that made him grow up in more ways than just physically. The whole cracked even more, when his lips turned into Jacob's smile. The one that had always rocked my world.
Edward's growl suddenly made me come back to reality. "What are you doing here, Black?"
"Eddie," Jacob smiled another sarcastic smile. "I should ask that to you, don't I? You still here?"
I was just a few steps from there now. But I stayed there, didn't want to be so close to him, to put myself in such a difficult position. But the question Edward made resounded again in my head, just a little bit distorted – WHAT THE HELL WAS HE DOING HERE?!
"I'm always here. But you didn't answer my question, what do you think you are doing here? How dare you come here after what you've done to Bella?" Edward growled again. I swear I'd never seen him like this.
"I prefer answering that to her, if you don't mind." Jacob's eyes met mine again. And now he was walking to my spot. My heart pounced with violence again, and I needed to clutch my feet to the ground with force not to fall.
Edward suddenly noticed I was just some steps behind him, and he almost ran to my spot, to put himself just in front of me.
"Hey Bells, how are ya?" The sound of that nickname made me cringed. I hadn't let anybody called me like that after what happened, that name was also prohibited in this town. And hearing it again was… just too much.
He was just a couple of feet from me, talking to me as if nothing had happened before. How dared him?! After all I suffered for him, he came home like this without and explanation and with a 'Hey Bells, how are ya'?! How you think I am, b*st*rd!
"I'm fine." I said anyway. I tried to stop the words, but they just came out no matter what I'd do.
He smiled at me again. "Glad to hear that, Bells."
I heard Edward laughing bitterly this time. "Glad to hear that?! You are truly unbelievable Black. Just get out of here." Edward muttered at the end, his voice menacing again.
Jacob glared at him. "You are so not telling me what to do. I didn't come to see you anyway…"
"So why did you came?" But it was me talking this time. There was something inside me, something that brought me up with courage. Something that didn't want to shut up, that wanted to know - why?. A question that had bugged me since he'd hurt me when I was fifteen.
Jacob obviously didn't expect my question, because his eyes widened. "Umm, I just wanted to check how you were… I came yesterday from my trip, and just… missed you."
OUCH. Was he freaking kidding me?! My legs shook with violence so much that I had to hold on to Edward's shoulders with both of my hands not to fall. My heart almost crashed my chest.
I was going to say any stupid thing when Edward talked first – well, he almost yelled.
"Get the HELL out of here, Jacob! Just get lost, now."
Jacob shook his head and laughed another sarcastic laugh. Had he learnt that yesterday that he was doing it almost at every five seconds? "Who are you to tell me that?"
Edward paused for some seconds, and then his hand met mine in his shoulder. "I'm her boyfriend."
I almost choked there. And I saw Jacob with the same surprised expression. The only difference was that I composed myself right in the moment and squeezed Edward's hand, and Jacob just stayed with that 'I've-just-swallowed-a-whole-carrot-in-one-bite' face.
"Oh," Jacob tried to say, his eyes darkened. "Congrats… Since when?." He muttered and fumed at Edward.
Guess what? "Six months," Edward said. "Three months," I said. AT THE SAME TIME.
We both looked at each other with a 'oops' look. "Three months," Edward said. "Six months," I said. AT THE SAME TIME, AGAIN!
Seriously, it seemed a bad joke here! Could anything else happen?!
Jacob frowned and laughed. Hello again Mr. Sarcastic! "I see you are one of those couples that really care. Cullen I saw you more of a gentleman, here." Alright, why was everyone saying that to Edward? He was the most gentleman man I'd ever met!
Edward's hand contracted more than necessary in mine and I could hear his teeth grinding. "Gentleman?" Edward laughed. "You talking me about being a gentleman? Please Jacob, I'm asking you this in the nice way, I really don't wanna go to the bad one. Just go, alright? Do it for your sake, here."
Wow. Edward was really making himself listen, and that just made me smile a little bit on my inside.
Jacob wasn't expecting this Edward either. And I could see him a bit lost. "I'm really not scared of you at all; you can come whenever you want. I'll be waiting." Jacob threatened holding one hand in the air as Neo in The Matrix.
I was going to step in, in order to stop this glaring fight when Edward talked before.
"I'd be more than pleased to go, but it's just that…" He sighed in a boring way. "You are really not worthy."
And I just had to bit my tongue hard not to laugh after seeing Jacob's distorted face. He was truly shocked. "I-I---"
"You have to leave." Edward cut him off. GO EDWARD!
He shook his head some times. "Not doing it for you, Cullen. Just so you know this isn't over. You just get on my nerves too much."
"You don't know how you got on mine." Edward growled one more time.
Jacob then stared directly into my eyes one more time and started walking away. "I'll be seeing you soon, Bells. I'm really looking forward to that. Really. And Cullen you already know!" He shouted while making a 'Watching-you' expression with his hands. And then like a flash he climbed to his bike and stormed through the street with a speed that I was sure wasn't allowed.
Suddenly as if somehow everything that had happened in these few minutes had just landed over every inch of my body, I held on to Edward's shoulder and started to cry.
