"You are the best thing that's ever been mine."- Taylor Swift.
The morning came too quickly. It was four o'clock, and it was still dark outside. We put on some shorts to run up to meet the vamps. We were quiet the entire time. I don't think either of us knew what to say. We were going into battle, and that was a scary feeling.
We met up with the rest of the pack and the vamps in a section of the woods.
"We're all in this together," Carlisle spoke. "Just remember all the training we went through. This is the moment, for our safety and the safety of all the humans around us. We can do this, and we all know it."
"Guys we need to break off real quick before this happens," Sam told us.
The vamps stood still as we walked away.
"Alright, guys, we know how dangerous this can be," Sam explained as we circled him. "I want you to know that we have to protect everyone, and that includes the vamps. Watch your backs."
We all nodded, looking at each other solemnly. We could easily lose someone, but it was something we didn't want to think about.
"Paul, you and Jacob be alone for a little while," he continued. "Come back soon."
Jacob and I looked at each other while the other boys left.
We were quiet for a while, but I couldn't help myself. I grabbed him so tight, never wanting the touch of his burning skin to go away. He was my everything, and if something happened to him, I would never be able to live with myself.
"I love you," I whispered, taking in the scent of his hair.
"I love you too." He held onto me too. "So much."
I pulled away a little bit. "Please, be careful."
"You too."
I kissed him like I would never kiss him again.
"We should go back," Jacob breathed.
"Yeah, we should," I agreed, kissing him one last time. "Remember that I love you."
He nodded. "I know."
I tried to force a smile, even though I knew it was fake.
We pulled away, though, and walked back over to the group. It was so hard, but we separated. As soon as Jacob, Edward, Bella, and Seth left it was time to take our place.
We waited about ten minutes before we started spreading Bella's scent. It was sure to drive the newborns mad, and that was what we wanted. We wanted them to be off guard.
We stood in the meadow, waiting for them, and soon enough, through the trees, they were popping up. It was time to fight.
We all ran to them, killing multiple newborns at a time. They were so crazy that they could barely figure out was going on. It was almost easy clearing them out. I had no idea what was going on with Jacob and the bitch, but I didn't care. I was killing some vampires and it felt so good.
By the time they were all cleared out, I heard some noise in the trees. I wasn't the only one who heard it, because a couple of the vampires turned around.
But I saw a wolf form pop out. It was Jacob.
I was so excited to see him, to know he was okay, that I ran over to him and nuzzled his neck.
We staid together for a while until we heard a growl from one of our pack. It was Leah, and she saw a newborn walking in. She started barking and went to attack.
"Leah, no!" Edward called.
But, being the stubborn bitch she is, she kept going. The newborn was obviously taking control of her, so Jacob jumped in. He fought with the vampire for a couple minutes until he let out a painful yelp. The newborn had broken his bones.
He phased as the other members of our pack took care of the newborn. I changed too, and ran to his side.
"Jacob!" Bella yelled.
He was turning around in pain.
"Jacob!" I yelled. "Jacob, baby, listen to me!"
I tried to put out my hand, but Edward smacked it away.
"Don't touch him; it'll make it worse," he explained. "Jacob, hold on, Carlisle is going to take care of you."
Every single moment we had together flashed before my eyes. If he died, I would kill myself. I couldn't live without him. He was the only reason I was alive.
Carlisle bent down next to him. "The bones on the right side of his body are shattered."
"Paul," he whispered.
"Jacob, it's okay. I'm right here."
I tried to make the tears go away, but I didn't know what to do. They just started flowing.
"Jacob, you idiot! I had him!" Leah yelled.
"Leah!" Sam warned.
"We have to reset the bones before the accelerated healing kicks in," Carlisle said. "It's already starting."
"We need to get him out of here," Edward stated. "We're not going to want to fight with the Volturi."
"We'll take him back to Billy's," Sam said.
"I'll be there as soon as I can," Carlisle replied.
"Hang in there Jake," Bella pleaded.
I would've killed her if I wasn't so focused on my baby.
We all got under him and carried him away so he was flat. We couldn't risk breaking any more bones. When we tried to pick him up, he coughed and moaned and cried. I couldn't handle it.
"We got you," I whispered to my baby, holding back tears.
We carried him away, and all he could do was whine and moan and cry.
We took him to his house and carried him inside. We lay him down slowly onto the bed.
"I love you baby," I whispered. "I love you so much."
I didn't expect an answer. All I did was kneel on the ground and stay with him. I wanted to touch him, but I couldn't. I didn't want to hurt him more.
Carlisle came, and that meant I had to leave.
The pain that my baby was in killed me. Carlisle had to go into Jacob's bedroom and re-brake all his bones so they wouldn't heal improperly. My poor baby was dying; he was screaming in pain. I wanted to run in there, but I knew I might kill Carlisle for causing him pain.
But I knew whose fault it was: that stupid little whore Bella.
I sat outside with my head in my hands, trying to block out Jacob's blood curtailing screams. Jared sat next to me with his hand on my back. He was a true friend.
Embry and Quil were gone for a while, but I saw them running back. They looked a little out of breath, but they were running back to us with news. I could tell it.
"Paul, someone needs to talk to you," Embry huffed.
I shook my head. "I need to stay here."
"This is important," Quil said. "Just come with us."
The decision was terrible, but I went with Quil and Embry. I followed them through the woods until I realized where we were; we were at the treaty line.
"What the fuck is going on here?" I growled.
But then I saw them. The leech family was standing right there.
"Someone wants to talk to you," Edward said solemnly.
Bella stepped out from behind them, and I was ready to attack.
"Paul, I'm sorry," she whispered.
"No, no you're not sorry," I boomed. "You're not fucking sorry! You're an ungrateful little whore! Jacob risked his life for a fucking slut like you! All you did was play him, and look at him now! You even kissed him, and that was enough to kill you!" I walked closer to her. "Bella, you never come near Jacob again. If you do, I will kill you."
Immediately, Edward jumped between me and Bella.
"Don't you touch her," Edward growled.
But I ignored him. "I don't care how many leeches you have around you, Bella. I will kill myself trying to kill you."
"Get him out of here," Edward said. "I can read his thoughts; he's about to attack."
Embry saw me and started pushing me away.
"Mark my words Bella!" I yelled as Embry pushed me away. "It will happen if you ever come near my family again! I will rip you to shreds!"
Embry and Quil dragged me through the forest before I could even try to calm down.
