Chapter 2
* Now That Was Unexpected *
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"Driving us home," she replied.
"What about dinner I'm starving?" whined Rose
"Look through the window!"
We all looked up Rose hissed under her breath, I growled and Alice revved the engine which only made Edward, Emmett, and Jasper look our way. "Now do you still want to go in?" she asked.
"Yes!" Rose replied.
"What!" Alice all but shrieked.
"Y-E-S Alice!"
"What? Why Rose look at my hair we're not going in and that's final," said Alice.
"Oh boo-freakin-who Alice so what about your hair, you don't always have to be perfect do you?" I said.
"Yes I do, and Bella I know you don't want to go in there and face him after what he did to you. He'll probably try to hit on us."
"C'mon Alice please I'm hungry and I want them to see us again," said Rose.
"Why do you want them to see us again?" I asked.
"Because it's fun to watch their faces," replied Rose.
"Hey Alice I wonder what they would think if we brought Jake in there with us I would love to see their faces," I said my face lighting up.
"Yeah, Bella why don't you call him up," said Alice with a big grin on her face.
"Alice where's your cell?"
"OMG Bella what did you do with yours?" she said.
"You know I don't like to bring a cell phone with me on shopping trips. I'm always afraid I'll lose it when I have to change my jeans."
"Fine! Here." she said reaching into her purse and retrieving her cell.
I dialed Jacob's number and asked him if he would meet us at the restaurant. He said yeah and that he was already wondering what he was going to do tonight.
"He said he'll be here in a few," I said as I handed the phone back to Alice.
"Great!" said Rose rubbing her hands together with a mischievous grin on her face.
About10 minutes later Jacob pulled into the restaurant parking lot in his red Mustang.
I got out of the car knowing when I did that they would be watching me and jogged over to Jake who was just getting out of his car and gave him a big hug.
"Hey Jake I've missed you a lot," I said.
"Hey Bells" he said as he hugged me back tightly, too tight.
"Jake, can't breathe," I said a little breathlessly.
"Oops, sorry I forget that your so little," he said with a grin
"Hey I'm not that small!" I said punching his arm.
Alice and Rose got our of the car and headed toward us.
"Hey Jake are you ready for the best night of your life?" asked Alice.
"Heck yeah, let's get it started!" he said.
As we were walking to the door I held his hand, when I looked up he was looking down at me smiling my favorite Jacoby smile. He pulled my hand up to his mouth and kissed it. I smiled and he let our hands fall. I liked Jacob a lot but I don't know if he likes me the same way or if he just wants to be friends. I use to think of him as just a friend, but he was with me through the tough times in high school and now I like to think of him as more than just a friend.
But I'm too much of a scardy cat to ask him out.
We walked into the restaurant and Alice said our fake names. We never use our real names just in case we meet someone we from high school.
"What? That's not your…" Jake started to say when Alice said our names. He looked down at me, a confused look on his face.
"I'll tell you in a minute," I whispered to him.
We took our seats and Jake asked me why Alice used fake names, so I told him. He looked away aggravated.
"Bella you don't need to hide…."
"Jake, I know I know I'm beautiful the way I am yada, yada."
He took my head in his hands and kissed my forehead. I immediately blushed bright red and looked over at Alice and Rose who appeared to be looking casually at their menus but I knew that on the car ride home they'd start in on me. I glanced over at their table and saw Edward staring at Jake with a pissed off expression on his face. I stood up and excused myself to go to the restroom, but Jake grabbed my hand turned me around and whispered, "I love you" to me. I'd only dreamt of him saying that to me, but never actually thought that he would utter the words. That was when everything finally hit me. All of the stress of the day.
I collapsed.
"Bella! Bella! Bella!" I heard them gasp.
"Bells can you hear me. C'mon Bells snap out of it please. I love you. Snap out of it you can't pass out now. I love you, I love you!" Jake said over and over and over again. Jake kissed me and my eyelids fluttered open to see half the people in the restaurant standing over me Jake was sitting beside my head, leaning over me reaching for an ice pack someone was handing to him. He put it above my left ear and I winced. He got me sitting up and then helped me stand. I hugged him and then I did what I'd wanted to do for a while time now. I kissed him with all my might. he was startled at first, but then I felt his arms wrap around me and he kissed me; his lips warm and gentle on mine That was when I heard Alice and Rose clapping and whistling. Soon everyone joined in everyone except them. I heard something that sounded like a fork hitting a plate and broke away to see Edward Cullen slamming the door and going to get in his silver Volvo; Jasper and Emmett following him. I smiled and kissed Jake again.
"You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that Jake, I LOVE YOU TOO." I whispered.
He smiled at me and said,
"Bells I've always loved you and always will no matter what happens!"
"Ow" I said on my way to the movie theater.
"What is it Bells?" asked Jake
"My head is like hurting really bad, right above my left ear."
"Let me see it." said Jake
"Alice get this car turned around and head for the hospital pronto!"
"What's wrong?" asked Rose
"Bella's head is swelling and turning yellowish-purple." said Jake unsteadily
"Ewww, like a grapefruit?" said Rose
"Alice hurry up!" Jake said panickly
"We'll be at Forks Hospital in like 2 and a half minutes." she replied
"NO" I all but screamed
"What is it Bella?" asked Rose
"Not Forks please no I hate Forks." I said
"Sorry Bella it's the closest hospital."
"But I'll be seen by and I hate that whole family!" I said
"Bella chill out there's nothing saying you'll be seen by him let alone if he even still works there." said Alice in her high soprano voice
"I will not chill out." I muttered stubbornly
"Bells do you really think I would let anyone or anything hurt you?" said Jake a grin already working it's way across his face
"No." I said defeated
We pulled into the parking lot and Jake helped me out of the car and across the parking lot. I got checked in and a nurse with blue and red scrubs led us to a room. As she was leaving the room I said
"Who is my doctor?"
"Dr. Spencer will see you." she said
"See." said Alice "I told you he wouldn't be your doctor." she said with a smile on her face
After about 25 minutes of waiting the nurse came back in and said your doctor will be in, in a few minutes she closed the door. Then she opened the door and said " got called into an emergency surgery so you will have a new doctor, but don't worry this doctor is really nice too." About five minutes later the door slowly opened and I was staring into the face of Dr. Carlisle Cullen otherwise known as Edward Cullen's father the man who brought Edward into this life.
"Ah Bella how are we doing tonight?" he said in a voice as attractive as Edward's
