Bella:
I soon slow to a walk, sobbing as I walk the long distance from the Cullen's house back to mine.
I can't believe Edward believed Alice so quickly! I can't think of anything I've done to make him distrust me that much. And Alice… Why would she say something like that? She knew what I went through with Mike, she told me I should break up with him.
I kick a stone along the pathway as these thoughts run through my mind. Tears streaming down my face, I probably look a mess right now. Not that I care. Though, if a car drives past, they may think I'm a tad crazy.
I jump when a horn blazes, quickly looking around to see the source. My nerves turn into relief when I see the familiar red Volkswagen rabbit.
"Bella! What the hell has happened? Are you hurt?" Jacob's worried voice fills the once silent road as he rushes over to hug me.
"I'm fine, I'm fine…I…it's a long story," I mumble against his muscular chest.
"Come on inside, I'll drive you home. Why are you walking, anyway?" Jacob asks, guiding me to the passenger seat of his car. When we get in he turns up the heat, calming the shivers I hadn't noticed I had.
"I've been meaning to call you, my car broke again," I say, resuming our conversation.
"How've you been getting to and from school then?" Jacob asks, speeding up to get us home.
"Alice has been giving me lifts," I mutter, moving my hands closer to the heat.
"That still doesn't explain why you were walking just then," Jacob insists, still trying to get answers.
I sigh, before reminding him it's a long story and promising to tell him when we get home. As Jacob pulls into the driveway, he gives me his jumper since I'm still shivering. I gladly take it, and then lead Jacob inside, since mum and dad must still be at work.
"Start with your story then," Jacob says, getting settled on the sofa.
I explain to him all about Alice ringing me excitedly telling me she has a new brother, and tell him all Edward.
"So Carlisle cheated on Esme?" Jacob asks, just as shocked as we all were when we found out. I nod in conformation, telling him about Emmett's argument with Carlisle and my new found friendship with Edward. Then, I take a deep breath before telling him about mine and Edward's first kiss.
"Was he a good kisser?" Jacob gasps, leaning forward for all the juicy details.
"Yes, yes he was," I smile at the memory, but it's soon replaced with the memory of Edward looking devastated, bringing me a new round of tears.
"Hey, it's alright, babygirl," Jacob comforts me, pulling me into his lap to hug me.
I go on to tell him about the following secret kisses Edward and I share, laughing at the memory of seeing Edward outside my window. Jacob laughs along with me, which does help to lift my spirits.
"So, what happened to you and Alice, then?" Jacob enquires. Reluctantly, I explain to him how Cowboy – Jacob laughs hysterically at his nickname – began sensing there was something between Edward and I.
When I finally tell Jacob about what Alice said, I find myself laughing much like he was previous.
"That pixie bitch! I'm gonna show her who's boss around here!" He says, flexing his muscles.
"Jake, that's not needed," I smile, patting his bicep.
"No one messes with my babygirl!" Jacob states, wrapping his arm around me as I find myself crying once again.
"You're babygirl?" A furious voice asks from the doorway.
"Edward! How the hell did you get in here?" I may not have locked the front door, but most people prefer to knock instead of walking in.
"I g-guess Al-Alice was r-right, then?" Edward states, seemingly losing some of his previous anger.
"Oh, so you're Edward new-Cullen, I'm Jacob," Jacob grins, standing up and extending his hand to Edward. Edward looks down at the offered hand, before ignoring it.
"What do you mean Alice was right? No she wasn't!" I implore to Edward, begging him to believe me.
"H-He j-just called y-y-you his b-babygirl!" Edward shouts, pointing at Jacob.
"Dude, you don't have to worry about me coming on to your girl," Jacob grins, staying somehow calm.
"Y-Yeah, 'cause s-she's not m-my girl!" Edward says to Jacob.
"I'm not?" I whimper, feeling a new round of tears fall down my face. I don't even make an attempt to brush them away.
"I'm s-sure y-your boyfriend c-can help w-with that!" Edward hisses at us both.
"Boyfriend?" I question, not having any idea who he's on about. He does realise Mike and I split up, right?
"Nu uh, mister, you've got the wrong idea," Jacob says, though I'm still confused.
"C-Care to ex-explain, then?" Edward huffs, looking at Jacob.
"I play for the other team! I don't like boobs! I don't see Bella in any other way than a sister. I'm gay!" Jacob shouts out, pointing to himself. Oh. Oh, I get it. Edward thought I was with Jacob. Ohhh…
"Wait, so, firstly, you just barge into my home without knocking! Then, you make accusations before even hearing me out, and get all pissed! Look, if you'd just listened to me after what Alice said, none of this would have happened. You know, Edward, I really liked you. I thought what we had was special, but straight away you didn't trust me. Thanks for that," I say, before going into the kitchen to hide some of my tears from him.
I don't hear anything for a few minutes, and only afterwards there's the sound of the front door closing. Though I'm not sure who left.
"He's hot, babygirl," Jacob says as he joins me in the kitchen.
"He's all yours," I mutter, turning around to give Jacob a hug.
"I don't think he plays for the same team as me," Jacob giggles – yes, giggles – wrapping his arms around me.
"Did he say anything before he left?" I ask hopefully, though I'm not sure what I'm hoping for.
"No, babygirl, he just glared at me a bit before leaving," Jacob says.
Jacob drives my truck back to his house to fix it, leaving his Volkswagen here for me to drive to school tomorrow. When mum and dad get home from work, I tell them Jacob visited, though I don't tell them about falling out with Alice.
Considering all that's being going on recently, what with Esme and Carlisle, mine and Alice's fight is beginning to seem less significant. Of course I'm upset about it – never before have we fallen out this badly. There have been smaller fights over the years, but they've never made me as upset as this one has.
I just genuinely didn't expect Alice to react so badly. I thought she might be a bit upset at first, but then she'd get over it and be happy for me. Not accuse me of messing her brother around. She's known me long enough to know I'd never do that, not to anyone, especially not to her brother.
The next morning, when I first wake up I forget about everything that's happened. It hits me all of a sudden, making me want to cry again. No, I've cried enough.
I put on some dark jeans and a big, green jumper. I don't feel the need to dress up nicely today. I eat a small breakfast, before getting in Jacob's Volkswagen and driving to school. As soon as I arrive I have a quick look around the car park, not seeing Alice, Cowboy or Edward yet, so I quickly walk to English to make sure I avoid them all.
Somehow, I manage to avoid all three of them up until lunch. I'm impressed I managed to avoid them for so long.
Well, here goes nothing…
A/N: What did you think of the chapter? And Jacob? I'm not too sure about this one...I've gone back and made loads of changes! :O
Review please! :)
